Chapter 249: Response
"Concubine Ling Sun has seen the queen mother, and I wish the queen mother good health and happiness." Sun respectfully knelt down and said goodbye.
Ling Jingyan and Ling Jingshu also knelt down with Sun.
In front of everyone's eyes, the appearance of the three of them was quite decent.
Queen Xu, who was sitting at the top, her eyes flashed, and she smiled slowly: "No courtesy." ”
The three of them thanked for the grace together and got up.
Empress Xu glanced at Sun's mother and daughter casually, and said with a casual smile: "There are quite a few people who have entered the palace to meet today, so you have been waiting for a long time." ”
Sun Shi hurriedly replied respectfully: "The concubine is fortunate to enter the palace today to see the true face of the queen, which is already the grace of the queen's mother." Waiting a little bit is really nothing. ”
This answer is not brilliant, but it is also decent, and I can't fault it.
Empress Xu looked at Ling Jingyan again: "What is your maiden name?" How old is this year? ”
When Empress Xu asked, almost all eyes brushed over. Ling Jingyan's mind suddenly went blank, her lips moved, but she didn't know what to say.
For a young girl who has never entered the palace, it is reasonable to be at a loss and nervous at a loss.
In the eye-catching eyes around him, there is sympathy and understanding, and of course, there is no shortage of good shows.
Ling Jingyan knew that she was wrong, so she forced herself to open her mouth: "The maiden's maiden's name is Jingyan, and she is ten or fifteen years old this year. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, several chuckles came to his ears.
Ling Jingyan didn't dare to look up, but her face was hot behind her ears.
On such an occasion, how could she be so embarrassed?
Ling Jingshu entered the palace alone that day, facing Queen Xu and a group of concubines, didn't she deal with it well? At the end of the day, it's all her useless......
Thinking that after today, the news of her loss of honor in the Jiaofang Palace would spread, and it would become a joke in everyone's mouth, and even the Ling family would be embarrassed, and Ling Jingyan even had the heart to cry.
Empress Xu obviously saw Ling Jingyan's embarrassment, but refused to let her go: "Ling Jingyan, why are you so cramped and uneasy? Is Hongu scaring you? ”
Wei Jieyu, who was sitting on the side, sank slightly.
Such a tricky problem, not to mention a boudoir girl, is also a bit tricky for the shrewd and sleek concubines to deal with. The answer is to accuse Queen Xu, and if you answer no, you have to have a suitable reason to explain the tension just now.
This poor girl is nervous enough, and if she is forced to ask by Queen Xu, she can only lose her manners......
Wei Jieyu was about to open her mouth to play a round game, when she saw Ling Jingshu step forward and said, "The queen mother is the world, majestic and natural. Cousin Yan entered the palace for the first time, and was impressed by the queen's amazing appearance and demeanor, which was a little out of grace. The queen mother is broad-hearted and benevolent, and she will never mind. The first cousin of the people's daughter thanked the queen. ”
As he spoke, he bowed.
Ling Jingyan also reacted at this time, and also stepped forward to salute: "The people's daughter has lost her temper in front of the queen, and I hope the queen will forgive." ”
The two sang and harmonized, respectfully. If Queen Xu persists in it, she will look aggressive.
Wei Jieyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This level is passed.
Sure enough, Queen Xu laughed: "That's it, it's just a little thing, and this palace can still deal with a young girl." ”
Empress Xu smiled, and the slightly tense atmosphere in the main hall also eased.
Wei Jieyu opened her mouth with a smile and said: "The queen's posture is a celestial figure, we concubines can see it from time to time, and we will inevitably be shocked by the mother's appearance and demeanor. The first time Miss Ling entered the palace, it was inevitable to have such an appearance. ”
These flattering words came from Wei Jieyu's mouth, which made people listen to it very comfortably.
The other concubines also echoed their words, each more flattering than the other. Queen Xu praised the unparalleled in the world. For a while, the main hall was lively.
Empress Xu smiled and said, "Don't talk about it, you guys." On weekdays, I closed the door and talked about making the palace happy, and the palace accepted it with shame. Today, so many ladies are here, and if they work together to praise this palace, everyone is still not easy to refute, wouldn't it make their ears suffer in vain. ”
Queen Xu stood out among the concubines and became a queen, and she has controlled the harem for many years, and there is no need to say more about the powerful means. When it comes to tongue alone, there is no one who can match it.
As soon as these words came out, the British duchess immediately smiled and said: "What the ladies just said is exactly what the concubine thinks." It's a pity that the concubine reacted a step slower, and she didn't have time to open her mouth, which made the queen misunderstand. ”
"Yes! The concubines are also clumsy people, and they are not as articulate as the ladies. Duchess Pingguo also said with a smile.
Next, the ladies of the decree spoke out one after another. Since he came to Jiaofang Palace, the most important thing is to coax Queen Xu to be happy. Don't laugh at anyone!
……
Queen Xu was praised by everyone and was in a happy mood.
However, she didn't plan to let Ling Jingshu go.
Empress Xu's phoenix eyes swept away, and then fell on Ling Jingshu's body: "Speaking of which, when Miss Ling Jiu first visited the palace, she was not chaotic at all, which really impressed the palace. ”
Everyone's eyes followed Queen Xu's gaze.
Being watched by so many people, every move is exposed in front of everyone's eyes, and it is impossible not to be nervous.
Ling Jingshu was mentally prepared, smiled slightly, and calmly responded: "Thank you for the queen's preference." In fact, the folk girl was also very nervous at that time. It's just a little better to cover it up, and hide it from the queen's mother. ”
Queen Xu's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her lips raised: "You girl, you are so articulate, no wonder Wei Jieyu likes you." Even when I saw this palace, I liked it very much. ”
Ling Jingshu replied with a smile: "To be favored by the queen must be a blessing that the people's daughter has cultivated for several lifetimes. ”
Empress Xu smiled and glanced at Ling Jingshu deeply: "After the New Year, you also have fifteen!" ”
"Yes, the queen mother really has a good memory, and she actually remembers the age of the people's daughter." Ling Jingshu responded with a smile: "The people's girl is fifteen years old after the New Year. ”
"Fifteen years old is the age when everyone loves flowers." Empress Xu smiled pointedly: "If you have a favorite husband in the future, this palace will definitely be the main escort for you." ”
Ling Jingshu timely revealed the shyness of the girl in the boudoir: "The queen is beautiful, and the people are flattered." It's just that the folk girl has no intention of marrying early, for fear that she will disappoint the queen's wishes. ”
Empress Xu smiled meaningfully: "The girl's family is big, and she always has to get married, so you don't have to feel embarrassed." ”
The dignified queen is concerned about a girl's lifelong events in public, and she also opens her mouth to protect the media.
What does this mean?
Could it be that Queen Xu fell in love with Ling Jingshu and wanted her to marry King Yan as a side concubine?
Everyone looked at Ling Jingshu's gaze, and it became more and more subtle. (To be continued.) )
