Jin Yi's carriage followed the sedan chair of the Marquis of Qingrong and his wife, and arrived outside the Xuanyang Gate at the south gate of the palace.

Qingrong Hou went to face the saint, Jin Yi and Xu were at the side gate, changed to the carriage of the harem to pick up the wife, and then walked to the southwest for a quarter of an hour, passed through the concentric gate, and then came down, led by the little eunuch, and went in the direction of Fengluan Palace.

Jin Yi was a little nervous in her heart, and quietly looked at the surrounding temples, trees and roads along the way, and remembered silently in her heart.

Between the ladies of the various provinces, those who are familiar with each other just nod their heads to say hello, and everyone is moving forward quietly, and no one is making noise.

In front of the main hall of Fengluan Palace, everyone stood in turn under the instructions of the little eunuch, bowed their heads and remained silent, waiting for the queen's mother.

One king, two dukes and four marquis of Huajing Dynasty, in addition to the two marquis of Qinfu, there are also Marquis of Weiyuan and Marquis Anbian, all of whom have been stationed in the northwest and Beisai border passes for a long time, and the mansion is not in Jianye City.

Princess Chuchen does not go out of the mansion to see people as usual, and Marquis Jinxuan of Changfeng has not yet married, so the female dependents of the Marquis Mansion, in addition to the Huan Mansion and the Ancestral Mansion, are only the Qin family of the Marquis of Qingrong.

Zhenguo Gonghuan's family has the most female dependents, and today Mrs. Huan brought three ladies to come, Mrs. Yi in the long room, Mrs. Man in the second room and Mrs. Fen in the third room. Four stand at the top.

Zhongyigong's family is not prosperous, except for the four rooms, the rest of the rooms are widows, and they have not entered the palace. Therefore, Mrs. Zu and Mrs. Xian stood behind the Huan family.

Next is the right phase Wang family and the left phase Fan family, although the prime minister and the marquis belong to the second grade, but the Xu family is only the third grade, so it is ranked after these two.

Behind are the six Shangshu, the daughter of the temple, and Mrs. Qiong, the eldest sister-in-law of the Xu family, are at the end.

There were some further back, Jin Yi stood in front, and he didn't look closely, but just lowered his head and stood silently.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, there was a sound of small footsteps and a soft sound of rings. In the sound of bells and drums, bursts of fragrant wind hit, and Queen Jiang Yu slowly walked out of the hall under the guards of all female officials.

In the singing of the eunuchs, the female dependents performed three kneels and nine bows.

After the ceremony. As the sound of music faded away, the queen returned to the palace with a group of female officials. Only then did the eunuch announce that the pilgrimage had been completed, and invited everyone to take a break in the nearby brocade hall.

Everyone relaxed, whispered, and went to the Brocade Palace.

After sitting for a while, a little eunuch came to announce and invited the female dependents of Huan Mansion, Ancestral Mansion, Qin Mansion and Right Prime Minister's Mansion to enter the palace to speak.

In previous years, it was like this, the queen has never had much contact with the women of the court, even if she invited a high-ranking family member to go in, it was just a scene, and often a few words came out again. The rest of the people who were not invited could only sit and drink tea and wait.

The little eunuch did not leave, the dust in his hand waved, and he asked sharply, "Who is Qin Jinyi?" ”

Everyone's eyes all turned to her, Jin Yi didn't squint, got up calmly and said, "What does my father-in-law command?" ”

The little eunuch smiled on his face, "The queen mother, please go in together." ”

Jin Yi was not shocked by the honor on his face, only bowed his head slightly, and after following the little eunuch out behind Xu, the people who stayed behind talked about it.

"I heard that the emperor personally appointed her to enter the palace for a banquet today. Could it be for the prince ......of Chu Chen?"

Mrs. Ying reminded her, "...... You forgot? Sister Yi's biological mother is the lord of Jirou. ”

"Oh......" Everyone was a little stunned, Yekang has destroyed the country for many years, and almost no one remembers that the former Mrs. Qingrong Marquis was also the county lord of Yekang, and Qin Jinyi is the niece of the current queen.

Xu took Jinyi and walked behind Huan and Zu, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

After returning from Xu's house yesterday, she thought about it for a long time, but she had some ideas in her heart. But I can't tell what the queen's attitude is towards Jinyi. In case the queen really thinks of her old love and plans to let her marry into the East Palace, whether it is the main concubine or the side concubine, the situation of herself and her daughter must not be good. After thinking about it, I planned to take a look at the shape today.

And they went into the inner sanctum, and saluted again.

The queen's beautiful voice came from above, "Let's all be flat, hold on to the old lady." ”

Several people sat on the chairs next to them one after another, and Jin Yi sat quietly at the end.

Old Madam Huan spoke respectfully first, "The queen mother is in good health, I haven't seen you for a few months, and you still look so good." ”

The queen is dressed in gold and silver silk Luan bird Chaofeng court clothes, wearing a phoenix crown, solemn and elegant, and peerless. The seven treasures of the phoenix spread their wings and the golden steps swayed, and the purple gold tassels hung down on her forehead, making her charming purple eyes shine brightly.

She smiled and said to the old lady Huan: "The old lady's complexion is good, you are only teasing your grandson at home now, you must be very comfortable." As he spoke, he asked again, "Miss Fifth didn't come today?" ”

Mrs. Man on the side hurriedly got up and replied with a smile: "The little girl has not given an order, so she does not dare to trespass." ”

"Yanyan, this kid is thirteen now, right? I came to the palace a few years ago, and I was very affectionate when I saw the palace. Now it's a big girl, but I'm embarrassed to come. The queen smiled charmingly, "In a few days, bring it in and let the palace take a good look." ”

Mrs. Mann hurriedly and respectfully complied.

The queen's phoenix eyes turned, looked around at His Royal Highness, looked at Jin Yi who was sitting at the end, and smiled, "Jin Yi girl, why don't you come up and say hello to your aunt?" ”

Jin Yi's lowered face, purple eyes suddenly condensed slightly. When he lifted it again, he already had a smile on his face.

She got up and stepped forward to the middle, and was about to kneel, the queen had already gotten up and walked down the phoenix seat, pulled her up to look carefully, and sighed for a while: "Your mother also called her cousin in the palace that day, and you haven't come to see your aunt for so many years." You look very much like your mother, and you are so gentle and lovely. ”

Jin Yi looked up at her dark purple eyes and smiled softly: "Niangniang and mother also look alike." ”

The queen laughed, "Your eyes are purple, but they are the same as the prince's." You cousins will be able to see each other another day, but now there are only the three of us with purple eyes. ”

When Xu Shi heard this, his heart tightened, and the smile on his face was a little unnatural.

The queen then said: "I heard the emperor say that the prince of Chuchen fell in love with you and asked me to help you look at each other." This palace sees you so gentle and virtuous, the princess must like it. ”

When Jin Yi heard this, she blushed and bowed her head and was silent.

Xu's tense heart relaxed at this time, and his heart was settled. It seems that the queen has no intention of asking Jinyi to marry the prince, so there is still hope for Xiu'er.

The queen ordered someone to bring a **** stool, put it under her phoenix seat, asked Jinyi to sit beside her, and said to Mrs. Huan with a smile: "Now they are young people, they are going to talk about marriage, we are all old." ”

Mrs. Huan knew that she also had her own granddaughter who was talking about this, so she smiled and said: "Niangniang is now in her prime, and after two years of staying with the emperor's grandson, she is still a beautiful country." ”

The queen covered her lips and chuckled, her demeanor could not be hidden, "That is not an old goblin." ”

After talking for a while, the queen said tiredly, "...... At the palace banquet, let's talk again. ”

Everyone got up and saluted, and retreated one after another.

The queen said to Jin Yi again: "Come into the palace more often in the future to see your aunt." ”

Jin Yi responded with a smile, and as everyone walked out of the main hall, he secretly exhaled a long breath, his clenched hands relaxed, and there was a crescent-shaped nail mark pinched out by his fingernails in the palm of his palm.
