Yu Ruo sorted out his thoughts and stepped into the room. Almost all the ladies of the officials above the fifth grade in the capital gathered in the house, and the smell of fragrant powder was thick and sweet. Seeing Yu Ruoxu enter the house, everyone seemed to have made an appointment, and the chattering stopped abruptly, and the huge room was suddenly silent.

She couldn't help but chuckle, she didn't expect her to be so powerful.

"Where did Miss Yu go, I saw you sitting in your seat just now, why did you disappear in a blink of an eye?" Zhao Zhiyi saw that everyone was silent, and asked loudly as if she was angry.

"It's just going out to get some air." Yu Ruoxu didn't bother to pay attention to her, walked up to her, and blessed the Song nobles who were sitting on the top position, "The folk girl asks for peace to the mother." ”

Song Guiren took a sip of tea slowly, and after a while, he spoke, "Get up." ”

"Xie Niangniang." Yu Ruoxu knew in her heart that she was not this Niangniang's opponent at present, but she didn't know what tricks she would come up with to deal with herself, so she couldn't help but be careful to deal with it.

"Just now, Bengong and the cousin of the Zhao family happened to talk about Miss Yu." Song Guiren said with a smile, "My cousin said that Lord Zhao sent our emperor a bow and arrow made of rhinoceros tendons, and this palace thinks that Miss Yu is also quite a researcher of bows and arrows, and I would like to ask you to tell everyone here, how is this bow and arrow made of rhinoceros tendons a good method?" ”

"Niangniang is too famous, the folk girl just has some superficial common sense, where can she compare with a woman like Miss Zhao?" Yu Ruoxu replied.

"Miss Yu is still so modest." Song Guiren's words changed sharply, and his voice was slightly lengthened, "What, do you still want to be like the last time in Taimiao, and the purpose of resisting the palace will not be achieved?" ”

Yu Ruoxu pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands, and hurriedly knelt down, "The folk girl doesn't dare." ”

Song Guiren snorted, and Liu Xiyue, the daughter of Liu Changqing, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, on the side, spoke, "Miss Yu, don't be polite, it just so happens that we are all curious, where is this bow made of rhinoceros tendons?" ”

Yu Ruoxu looked up and saw Liu Xiyue dressed in a lilac palace dress, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and a beautiful mole in the corner of her eye, which was a little more charming than ordinary family women.

"Then the people's girl will be ugly." Yu Ruoxu said in a deep voice, "Bow making is important to dry, angle, tendon, glue, silk, and lacquer, collectively known as the six materials. The tendons of the six materials are attached to the outside of the bow arm, which can make the arrow more powerful when it is fired, and the middle object is deeper. The rhinoceros tendon is round and even, with good elasticity, it is a rare treasure, and it is very easy to use when used on the bow arm. “

As she spoke, she felt that her voice seemed to gradually overlap with Yue Zirong's voice in her memory.

"Senior Sister Yu, if I can go to Xiqiang one day, I must find a rhinoceros tendon, so that even if you practice for four or five hours in a row, you will not be afraid of shoulder pain."

He pointed to a bow on the wall and said to her in a delicate voice, "Although the horns and tendons of the six materials are inconspicuous, they are the key to determining whether a bow is good or not. The bow you used to use was so stiff that it's no wonder you were so tired that you couldn't even hold a brush. “

Instead, she focused on the rhinoceros and muttered, "I haven't seen a rhinoceros yet, so I don't know what it looks like......

Yue Zirong couldn't help but knock on her forehead, but there was a helpless smile on the corner of her lips, "Why are you distracted again?" I'm talking to you. ”

……

"Even if I practice for four or five hours in a row, I'm not afraid of shoulder pain." Yu Ruoxu lowered her eyebrows, her voice was faint, and she couldn't hear any emotion.

Song Guiren heard this and raised his eyebrows, "I didn't expect that this bow and arrow is quite knowledgeable." ”

"It was an eye-opener." Zhao Zhiyi said with a smile, "I also asked my father about this bow and arrow before, and my father scolded me and said that this is the knowledge of the man's family, even if the daughter's family has learned martial arts, she shouldn't ask too much." It is still the open-minded style of the Yu family that can make Miss Yu understand so deeply. ”

Open-minded family? Yu Ruoxu sneered, doesn't it mean that she is not good-minded and always asks about the knowledge of the man's family?

"Isn't that?" Song Guiren answered, "This palace remembers, Miss Yu's house is in Langzhong, after all, it is located in the southwest, and the customs and customs must be very different from our capital." Even this evasion...... It's also different. “

Yu Ruoxu felt funny in her heart, it turned out that the young ladies in the capital were so highly educated, and they even scolded others for being a hillbilly so vaguely.

"The whole world is not the king's land." Yu Ruoxu still lowered her head, making it difficult to see her expression clearly, "As the emperor is the Son of Heaven, he has a hundred rivers in his mind, and although Langzhong, the hometown of the people's daughter, is not a precious place, it is also valued by the emperor and the queen mother." ”

Song Guiren was softly pushed back by her, but the annoyance in his heart couldn't be attacked, "Miss Yu said with a smile, if Langzhong is not a place of gold, there will be no rich land under the sky." ”

Langzhong is the only gold mine in the entire imperial court. And half of this gold mine is in the hands of the Yu family.

When Yu Ruoxu heard Song Guiren say this, she felt a little remorseful in her heart, and felt that she shouldn't have been quick to speak for a while, so she hurriedly leaned over, "Niang Niang said that she laughed, how can Langzhong be comparable to the capital." ”

"What's wrong with Langzhong?" Liang Jieyu's voice came from the door, and Yu Ruoxu was greatly relieved as if she had met a savior. Everyone hurriedly got up and saluted, "Say hello to Jieyu Niangniang." ”

"Get up." Liang Jieyu was dressed in a red palace dress, and the gold silk embroidered side showed that her temperament was particularly luxurious, "The palace has just come from the queen mother's side, and before I entered the house, I heard things talking about Langzhong, which is also weird and lively." ”

"The queen mother really loves her sister, and she teaches the rules in person every time." Song Guiren pursed her lips, and her voice was extremely soft, "My sister will also follow in the future, and the queen mother of the province will say every time that I only care about playing." ”

Liang Jieyu smiled faintly, "My sister misunderstood, it was my father who brought some things from home after entrusting my mother, where is I teaching the rules in person?" ”

When Song Guiren heard this, his face was a little sneering, "In this way, sister, you see that I always think about learning the rules, and I forget that today happens to be the day when my sister's family visits the palace." “

Before Liang Jieyu could say anything, she saw Aunt Huang beside the Queen Mother lift the curtain and come in, and blessed everyone, "Jieyu Niangniang, noble Niangniang, ladies and ladies, the time is coming, and the Queen Mother ordered everyone to go directly to the front hall to prepare for the banquet." “

Liang Jieyu nodded and said, "I know, this palace will take everyone over." “

Yu Ruoxu only felt a little tired, the room had just ended, and another more tiring one was about to start again.

The Dan Majesty in front of the Qianning Palace is engraved with a five-clawed dragon pattern, the vermilion steps go straight up, connecting the towering palace, dozens of carved and gorgeous glass lamps are hung on both sides of the palace eaves, reflecting the plaque of the yellow characters on the blue background of the Qianning Palace, there is a sense of ethereal and majestic in a trance.

Yu Ruoxu followed behind Liang Jieyu and entered the hall step by step. The little emperor and the queen mother went to the inner room to change their clothes, so the main seat on the steps was empty, and the officials and women of all levels were already sitting on both sides, and the table was full of plates with all kinds of snacks and fruits, which echoed the scene of the dazzling pearls and jades in "The New Language of the World".

Liang Jieyu and Song Guiren walked up the steps and sat on either side of the seat of the little emperor and the queen mother. Yu Ruoxu walked up to Yu Zhongjun and sat down, and said in a low voice, "Daddy, my daughter didn't cause trouble today. Don't look at me like that. ”

Yu Zhongjun choked for a while, "You......"

She smiled slightly, picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip, but her eyes swept over Liang Jin, who was sitting diagonally opposite her. He tilted his head sideways, as if he was listening to the teachings of the Marquis of Dingyuan, looking cautious and detached. For some reason, Yu Ruo suddenly remembered the scene where he covered his ears just now, and the roots of his ears couldn't help but feel a little hot.

"Today, many foreign vassal states have also sent envoys to congratulate the emperor on his birthday." Yu Zhongjun saw that she was a little stunned, so he secretly pointed to the tables close to the main seat, "Xianbei, Xiqiang, Goryeo, and even Nanyue have sent people." ”

"South Vietnam?" Yu Ruoxu was a little surprised, "I see that the excerpt says that there is civil strife in Lingnan, and the South Vietnamese royal family is in trouble. ”

Yu Zhongjun said in a low voice, "Mostly." However, now the trouble of the imperial court's henchmen is Xianbei, and there are people in Guangling from time to time to gather to make trouble, and Nanyue wants to borrow troops from the imperial court at this time, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult. ”

Yu Ruoxu nodded, "My daughter thinks the same way." She couldn't help but glance at the envoy of the South Vietnamese Kingdom again, only to see that he was respectfully talking to another girl beside her. The girl tilted her head sideways, unable to see clearly, but she could vaguely make out the embroidery of the South Vietnamese royal family on her clothes.

"Is the South Vietnamese royal family here too?" Yu Ruoxu asked.

"That's the princess of Nanyue." Yu Zhongjun glanced at her gaze and said leisurely, "After a while, maybe there will be a good show to watch." ”

In a daze, a burst of ritual music floated in, everyone was stunned, and hurriedly got up together, and the originally noisy hall was silent in an instant.

The Queen Mother and the Little Emperor walked up the steps slowly, and they hadn't seen each other for many days, and the Little Emperor seemed to have grown taller, but the cool meaning in his eyes seemed to be stronger than before. The Queen Mother was dressed in a phoenix robe, and her golden steps made a small sound, which looked a little frightening in the silent hall.

"Meet the emperor, the queen mother."

"Let's be flat." The Queen Mother said quietly, "Today is the emperor's birthday banquet, and the palace and the emperor understand the intentions of all Aiqing, don't be too restrained now, just be casual." “

"Emperor Xie, Empress Dowager Xie." Although the Queen Mother opened the jade mouth, no one really dared to be "casual" in front of the holy driver. The ladies of the palace rushed in to add exquisite dishes to each table. Yu Ruoxu looked at the fish soup in front of her, the crystal clear flesh, and a red cherry was added as a garnish, which looked exquisite and abnormal, but she was reluctant to put it down.

"Queen Mother, this crystal fish soup looks fresh, and the concubine has never seen such a beautiful dish." Song Guiren sighed in admiration. The Queen Mother smiled, "Speaking of which, the mourning family has never seen such a delicate fish soup, and they can't even bother to taste it like this." “

"The same goes for concubines." Song Guiren's eyes rolled, "I don't know which one of the imperial kitchens is ingenious enough to make such a good dish." “

There was a figure moving at the foot of the steps, and Yu Ruoxu saw a slender woman walking forward, leaning down and kneeling, "Back to the nobleman's words, it is the concubine who thinks that the emperor and the mother love to eat fish, and now it is the season of carp fat, so she personally made this crystal cherry fish soup and talked about the concubine's intentions." ”

Yu Ruoxu was stunned, isn't this woman Aunt Zheng who was next to Liang Jieyu before?

"Zheng Meiren is really a beautiful blue heart." Song Guiren glanced at Liang Jieyu with a smile, "It's also my sister's credit for training the people around me so well." ”

Liang Jieyu said lightly, "My sister is polite, Zheng Meiren is naturally smart." ”

Yu Ruoxu suddenly realized, no wonder she felt that when she saw Aunt Yan for the first time at the palace gate, it turned out that Aunt Zheng, who she was familiar with before, had changed and had become a little emperor Zheng Beauty in one step.

"Such a delicate heart, the mourning family likes it." The Queen Mother waved her hand, "Bring the jade bracelet of the mourning family and reward it to Zheng Meiren." ”

"Thank you for the reward." Zheng Meiren was so excited that her voice trembled, and she hurriedly kowtowed to thank her. Yu Ruoxu was a little puzzled, obviously she was the person next to Liang Jieyu, why was she lifted up by Song Guiren in front of so many people?

She remembered that on the day when Taimiao begged for rain, Liang Jieyu arrived more than an hour late, when Song Guiren asked her, "Is it okay in the palace", could it be related to Zheng Meiren's matter?

"Even the ladies in the palace have such good craftsmanship, which is really eye-opening for the villain." A rough voice sounded, Yu Ruoxu raised his eyes, and saw a man in Xianbei clothes standing up, "In addition to congratulatory gifts, the villain also brought some Xianbei fresh gadgets to the emperor and the queen mother on the order of the khan." ”

"Khan has a heart." The Queen Mother smiled and said, "I wonder what new things the adults have prepared?" ”

"When the queen gave birth to Lin'er, the Khan was very happy and thanked the gods for giving us such a strong and noble heir as Xianbei." Xianbei ordered the ministers to bring a pomegranate tree carved by jasper, which was full of small pomegranates, and made a tinkling sound with a slight movement, "This is the treasure jade that our Khan broke through the stone with an arrow, and soon after the good news that the queen was pregnant, the Khan heard that there was an auspicious saying that there were many pomegranates in the Han court, so he asked people to make this piece of jade into the shape of a pomegranate tree, wishing the emperor an early bloom and leaves, and the descendants were full!" “

Yu Ruoxu's heart moved, her eyes looked over the pomegranate tree, and she looked at Liang Jin in a daze.
