The palace maid with a higher rank than Jingping calls herself Jingqiu, and she is one of the six palace maids who serve the Queen Mother's diet and daily life. A palace maid of this level, secretly giving a gift, is easy to be misunderstood by the other party and has other intentions, it is Yi Zhihua before she turned around to lead the way, she took out a delicate bag from her sleeve and sent it over: "Aunt Jingqiu's voice is so good, the first time we meet, a mere gift is not a respect." If there is any loss of etiquette for a while, I hope my aunt will mention it more. ”

Jingqiu took the bag with both hands and smiled slightly: "The townsman is serious. The Queen Mother has long wanted to see you, so come in with me. ”

Zhihua bowed her head lightly, followed behind the two generously, and slowly walked towards the side hall of Fengqi Palace.

"Empress Dowager Qi, Lu Xiangjun came to see you."

"Xuan."

I saw a slender girl in formal clothes walking in. Watch her walk, each step at the same distance, hands folded in front of her chest, arms level; The arc of the bow is appropriate, one inch higher is too proud, and one inch lower is too humble; When she knelt down and bowed, there was no extra swaying of the hairpin on her head.

Although she hasn't seen her face clearly, this perfect demeanor alone makes the Queen Mother feel three points satisfied. I really didn't expect that the kind of family of the Lu family would actually raise this kind of wonderful person who is no worse than the young lady of the Xungui family.

"Courtiers, see the Queen Mother."

"No courtesy."

"Thank you, mother."

"Raise your head and let the mourners take a good look."

Zhihua said this, her head was slightly raised by two inches, but her gaze still fell below, and she didn't look directly at Feng Yan because of the kindness of the Queen Mother's tone. However, the corner of the eye can still be scanned. The queen with a nine-headed phoenix hairpin on her head is well-maintained, with a kind expression on her face without wrinkles, and a kind smile on the corner of her mouth.

The Queen Mother's gaze lingered on her face for a moment. Nodding and smiling: "What a beauty, no wonder she was caught by the child of the Shen family." ”

Two red clouds appeared on Zhihua's face, shy but not timid, and responded decently: "Niangniang has won the award." ”

"Well, not arrogant or impatient, a good boy." In just a few paragraphs of answers, the original three points of satisfaction in the queen mother's heart increased to seven points. There was also a hint of concern when he spoke, "The wedding is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, right?" Why did you enter the palace at this time? But what's the difficulty? ”

Because of the earlier rescue work, the Queen Mother treated Shen Ze three points closer than others. Originally, the Queen Mother planned to personally choose the best marriage among the ladies of the family for him. Unexpectedly, Shen Ze asked to marry Lu Shilang's daughter. Because the Lu family's family was too low, the queen mother felt that Zhihua was not worthy of Shen Ze, so she began not to see her without masking her face, and after the last reward, she specially ordered her not to enter the palace to thank her.

And this time. The wedding date of Shen and Lu is imminent. Shen Ze was about to lead the troops out again, and the sign that Zhihua entered the palace to ask to see was handed over, and the Queen Mother couldn't see it even if she didn't want to. And after seeing people, I found that her words and deeds were not inferior to any of the ladies, and not to mention the opening of the door, it was enough to be worthy of the responsibility of the future patriarch of the Weiguo Mansion. As soon as the prejudice disappeared, a feeling of loving the house and the black emerged spontaneously. So this concern is not a hypocrisy.

Zhihua had long felt that the Queen Mother didn't really want to see her. This little concern did not make her relax, but she replied with a careful wording: "Back to the mother." The little girl entered the palace at this time, and she did have something to ask for. ”

"Say, there is a mourning family to make decisions for you, don't scruple." Zhihua's straightforwardness fell in the eyes of the Queen Mother, which saved the hypocritical and polite closeness, and the smile on her face deepened a little.

Niangniang also knows that the little girl is from a humble background, has limited knowledge, and does not understand many palace rules. Therefore, I implore the mother to cut her love and give the little girl a grandmother. ”

The Queen Mother's face was a little strange, but she really didn't expect that what she asked for was this. "Are you sure you want to ask a grandma? Aren't you afraid to be tied up by your side? ”

Raising a grandmother is not a simple palace person, especially given by the Queen Mother. Speech and behavior, as long as you can't see it, you can directly discipline your mother-in-law, and inviting such a person back is tantamount to bringing half of your mother-in-law with you.

"The little girl has a limited background, thanks to His Majesty's love, and gives marriage to the son. However, the mother died early, and although the little daughter was carefully taught by her grandmother, there were still many deficiencies. I was not afraid of the mother's jokes, and this time I rushed into the palace to ask for a meeting, so because I didn't understand the rules, I brought a personal maid with me. Speaking of this, Zhihua had a look on her face, paused and continued: "If you can be given by the Queen Mother to raise your grandmother and accompany her to mention her daily words and deeds, the little girl is really grateful." I hope that the Queen Mother will be fulfilled. ”

The Queen Mother was not disgusted by her self-exposure of her shortcomings, but nodded approvingly: "Knowing your shortcomings, not only is not inferior, but you can also think about how to make up for it, which is really rare." Well, for the sake of your sincere request, the mourning family will choose the best grandmother around you and give it to you. ”

"Mama Dou, are you willing to leave the palace with Lu Xiangjun?"

The palace people who stood in the second place at the bottom left of the Queen Mother heard the voice, bowed down and replied: "The slave maid is obedient to the Queen Mother's arrangement." "The voice is neither sad nor joyful, calm and unwavering.

"Well, you are an old man who has served by the mourning family for many years, Lu Xiangjun is gentle and virtuous, and she will provide for you in the future, and the mourning family is very relieved. However, you must also abide by your duty, and you must not rely on the name of the mourning family to do things that are slaves and bully the master, otherwise the mourning family will know and will not spare you! ”

Mama Dou knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed her head three times: "The slave and maid obey the order of the Queen Mother!" ”

From the age of 20 to the Queen Mother, more than 30 years of dedicated service has allowed her to grow step by step from the lowest-level sprinkler to her current right-hand man. The Queen Mother looked at the silver threads that were faintly visible in her bun when she lowered her head, and suddenly felt a sense of reluctance. After a moment of silence, he sighed a little sadly: "Go, go and meet your new master." ”

So, Mama Dou knelt down to Zhihua and kowtowed: "Slave maid to meet Miss." ”

Zhihua helped her up with both hands and solemnly returned the half-salute: "In the future, I will have to bother to teach Mama more." ”

Feeling the Queen Mother's obviously low feelings, Zhihua suddenly had an idea in her heart, she seemed to have picked up the treasure unintentionally.

After following Zhihua back to Lu's house, Mama Dou quickly entered the state. With her coming forward, the old lady didn't dare to make a mistake at all, and handed over the greetings and gift slips sent in the past few days without saying a word.

Liu's mother is not doing her best, but she has already broken her foot, and the old lady has been relying on her a lot recently, so she was only punished for half a year.

The eldest lady, who was originally in a wait-and-see state about the fight between the old lady and the eldest daughter because of the return of the third room, leaned over again because of the arrival of Mama Dou, and took the initiative to add all the house deeds, land deeds and all the jewelry when Shen Ze was hired to Zhihua's dowry list.

Zhihua originally planned to give half of it to her younger brother, so she sent Han's mother to make a list and send it to Lu Zhenyuan. In this way, there is no need to worry about the idea of someone beating this batch of treasures when she is not in the Lu family.

Lu Yan, who didn't know anything about it, traveled day and night all the way, and finally rushed back in the evening. (To be continued.) )
