"Which set of clothes is the girl going to wear to the palace to congratulate" Zi Dai opened the wardrobe and looked at the master with a smile, "I see this set of pink xia brocade silk robes with this water blue horse face skirt, plus the red jade drop beads rewarded by His Royal Highness the Prince, the crested golden step shake is the most matched."

"Just do as you say" Xu Zigui slept in a daze, letting the two of Zidai and Liulu fiddle with themselves, and the red sleeves smiled and entered the inner room to joke with the master, "Girl, open your eyes and take a look, be careful for a while, Liu Lu will draw you a blessing doll's makeup."

"See if I don't tear the mouth of your hooves for a while," Liu Lu said with a smile, "Is the meal ready?" ”

"It's set, Lan Xiang asked me to come in and help"

Xu Zigui got up very angry, and especially in bed, last night made a lot of noise, and was put by Xu Ziyun again, although there was no interest in keeping the year, but when he returned to the courtyard, it was almost the same time, so late to sleep, but when he was a few maids dug up from the bed, she was so sleepy now that she couldn't open her eyes, and she didn't even bother to get up, only closed her eyes and was at the mercy of a few maids

Zi Dai and Liu Lu finally put on the clothes for the master who did not cooperate, seeing that the master had not yet opened his eyes, Zi Dai couldn't help but sigh and support his forehead, "Red sleeves, you go to the big basin of cold water, let's use cold water to clean the master's face." ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to clean his face with cold water, Xu Zigui opened his eyes with a shudder, and looked at Zidai pitifully.

Seeing the master open his eyes, Zi Dai breathed a sigh of relief, handed the handkerchief that had already been placed to Liu Lu, and asked Liu Lu to help clean her face, while she went to prepare rouge gouache and prepare to put makeup on her master for a while

Xu Zigui let Liu Lu fiddle with his face, and said to Zi Dai in a sullen voice, "Don't bother, you just prepare a flower for me and stick it on my forehead."

Xu Zigui has never liked makeup, Zidai also followed her, and when Liu Lu finished cleaning Xu Zigui's face, he pasted a red flower on Xu Zigui's forehead.

At this time, Lan Xiang came in and called the master to eat, Xu Zigui also woke up most of the time, so he smiled and walked out with his own hand, passing by the dresser, Xu Zigui looked in the mirror for a while, frowned slightly, and picked off the flower on his forehead casually, before turning back to Zidai with a smile and saying, "This is good-looking"

"It's you who want to bring Huadian, and it's you who doesn't bring it," Zidai smiled and joked to Xu Zigui, "Sure enough, as the eldest young master said, the girl has grown up and knows how to love beauty." ”

"Even your master dares to joke, be careful not to give you red envelopes for a while" Xu Zigui smiled and twisted Zidai's face, then sat at the dining table and picked up the shredded chicken porridge and took a sip, squinted his eyes with satisfaction, and drank the shredded chicken porridge into his stomach with a small plate of pickles, before he got up and ordered the maids, "Zidai and Lan Xiang will accompany me into the palace for a while, and the red sleeves and willow green will stay to observe the movements of the attached middle," and then turned his head and took Feng's mother's hand, and said "Mother Feng, you help me watch them, save me from being there, these little hooves are lazy" said, smiled and glanced at the willow green and red sleeves

"Okay girl, don't be busy making fun of these two, I guess everyone is waiting for you at the old lady's side this time" Zi Dai smiled and stepped forward to help her master walk towards Liufangzhai, "After a while, the eldest young master and the second young master are afraid that they will laugh at you again for lying in bed."

"Grandmother loves me the most, my brother and brother bully me, and my grandmother is the master for me" Xu Zigui boasted to Zidai with a smile while striding into the main hall of Liufangzhai, first saluted the elders before smiling and asked, "Grandmother, do you say yes?"

"Yes, yes," the old lady smiled and took her granddaughter's hand and quipped, "but it's bed again?" ”

"Grandmother" Xu Zigui stomped his feet embarrassedly, "Brother and brother haven't laughed at me yet, you have to make fun of your granddaughter first"

Xu Ziyu looked at his sister and laughed, "I know that I am shy, and I have grown up" I glanced at my sister again, and saw that my sister was wearing the step shake given by the prince last time on her head, her eyes flashed, and she said to the old lady with a look on her face, "Father is estimated to be in a hurry, let's go quickly"

The old lady bowed slightly, and took her granddaughter's hand and walked out first.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, everyone got off the sedan chair, the men followed Xu Zhengjie to meet the emperor, and the female dependents followed Xu Taijun to meet the queen.

When Xu Zigui and a few people arrived at the gate of Fengqi Palace, they found that there were already many foreign women waiting at the gate of the palace, everyone stood in turn in order of grade, Qin and Xu Lao Taijun were both in the first grade, naturally standing in the front section, Xu Zigui and Xu Ziyun were both white, so they had to stand obediently behind their mothers and wait for the women to pay New Year's greetings to the queen.

"Ah Nuan, Zhen'er" Xu Zigui stared at his toes in a daze boredly, and suddenly heard someone calling his grandmother and mother's maiden names, and hurriedly turned around, and when he saw the person who came, he immediately smiled, and the eyebrows and eyes of the smile were crooked, and he hurriedly stepped forward to wrap the old woman's hand and said the auspicious words "Grandmother's New Year's health"

Old Mrs. Qin smiled and patted the hand that was wrapped around her, and said, "Okay, good, good boy is a year older," said and handed the New Year's money that had been prepared in his hand to his granddaughter, "Get it before your brother and brother"

Xu Zigui immediately smiled and hugged Mrs. Qin's arm coquettishly, "I know that my grandmother loves me the most"

"You" Old Lady Qin tapped her granddaughter's forehead with her finger, and then looked at Xu Ziyun, "This is a cloud girl."

"Grandmother's New Year's health" Xu Ziyun stepped forward to greet him

Old Mrs. Qin seemed to be very happy, nodded with a smile and said yes, and handed another red envelope to Xu Ziyun, "You two girls are good children"

On the way here, Xu Ziyun was still thinking about the events of last night, but no one mentioned it until now, so he thought that if the matter of witch Gu was known by someone with a heart and spread to the ears of the emperor, the entire Hou Mansion would suffer, so he breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this time she escaped, and now she saw the old lady of Zuo Xiangfu handing her a red envelope, Xu Ziyun quietly checked the weight of the purse, and immediately smiled

"Grandmother Xie"

Xu Zigui couldn't help sneering in his heart when he saw her purse, but he didn't show it on his face, but affectionately held the hand of the woman standing behind Old Taijun Qin, "Uncle, if you haven't seen me for many days, you can miss me."

Wu smiled and pinched Xu Zigui's hand, "Naturally, I want to" As soon as he was about to take out his purse, an attendant came out to announce that the foreign woman was about to start, Xu Zigui hurriedly let go of Wu's hand and stood behind Qin obediently, quietly squeezing his eyebrows at the two girls behind Wu

After meeting the queen mother, except for the few women left by the queen mother, the others either went home from the palace or went to visit the mothers in the palace, and they all dispersed.

Because of the relationship between Qin Lao Taijun and the Queen Mother, the Qin family and the Wu family are also close friends with the queen mother, and they were left in Fengqi Palace by the queen mother to speak.

"This is Gui'er and Yun'er?" Xu Zigui and Xu Ziyun entered the palace for the first time, because the two of them were still young, the Qin family did not take them into the palace, and now that they are both older, they are a little unreasonable if they are not brought into the palace, so they took the two girls into the palace. The queen hadn't seen two girls, but she recognized Xu Zigui at a glance, not to mention the red jade bead crested golden step on Xu Zigui's head, just looking at Xu Zigui's all-round temperament and Xu Ziyun, who stood aside and tried to be dignified but showed the spirit of a small family, it was easy to distinguish.

The queen mother took Xu Zigui's hand and looked at it carefully, and said to the Qin family with a smile, "What a little girl with a logo, this palace likes it very much" The queen has no daughters, there are three princes under her knees, the prince is one of them, and the fifth prince is only two years younger than the prince, but the seventh prince is the same age as Brother Jin, and the queen is planning to call Brother Jin into the palace to read to the seventh prince as a companion, so at this moment, looking at Xu Zigui, who looks similar to Brother Jin, naturally likes it

"Niangniang praised falsely" No mother doesn't like to hear others praise her child, not to mention that person is still the queen, Qin's smile replied, "This girl is tao, my mother-in-law likes to call her the demon king of the world the most at home"

"Children, it's inevitable to be naughty" The queen smiled and took Xu Zigui's hand and looked at Xu and Qin, the two old ladies "The queen mother is thinking about the two old ladies, the old man should go to Cining Palace" said and pushed Xu Zigui and a few people forward, "Zhen'er and Jiaqi stay with me, the old man took a few Gui'er kites to the queen mother to meet, the queen mother has become more and more fond of children like Gui'er kites in recent years"

"Yes, the old body is here to say hello to the Queen Mother."

The two old ladies knew that this was the queen's mother who wanted to talk to the Qin family, so they hurriedly got up with a smile and said goodbye, and took their granddaughters to Cining Palace

The Empress Dowager in Cining Palace looked at her best friend kneeling under her, and hurriedly leaned forward and waved her hand

"Mama Li, why don't you go and help the two old people up"

The Queen Mother smiled and asked the female official to sit with a few people, and then looked at the girls with a smile. Qin Siyuan and Qin Siyu are not the first time to enter the palace, but Xu Zigui and Xu Ziyun are entering the palace for the first time, the Queen Mother's eyes fell on the top of the step on Xu Zigui's head, there was a little deep meaning in her eyes, she looked at Xu Zigui carefully, and only after a while did she wave to Xu Zigui lovingly, "What a symbol child, come to mourn the family"

Xu Zigui made a salute at this time, and walked gently to the Queen Mother step by step, the Queen Mother looked at Xu Zigui carefully, saw that she was growing lotus step by step, her eyes couldn't take her eyes off, and her light steps came towards her and even the skirt did not sway sharply, the Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, the smile on her face deepened, and she took Xu Zigui's hand and asked amiably, "How old is this year?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, eleven years old"

The Queen Mother sighed secretly in her heart, feeling a little pity, everything is good, but it is too small. You turned her head to look at Qin Siyuan, smiled at Old Taijun Qin, and said, "Iris'er is going to be in time this year."

"Back to the Queen Mother, exactly" Mrs. Qin replied with a smile, and seemed to sigh with emotion, "It's so fast, the kite is about to grow into an adult"

"Yes, it's really fast" The Queen Mother also sighed, "We have all become old women" said and seemed to feel that this topic was too heavy, and said with a smile, "It's okay to settle people"

"It was decided last year, and he is the eldest son of the Wan Shangshu family"

"Well, it's a good boy" The Queen Mother answered with a smile, and turned her head to Qin Siyuan and said, "If you are engaged, you will be an adult."

Qin Siyuan had already blushed, sitting beside her grandmother and didn't dare to look up. Seeing Qin Siyuan's youngest daughter sitting next to her grandmother, the Queen Mother was happy again, when she was old, she liked to be a matchmaker with others, and then asked "Yu'er is also thirteen this year, have you ever seen someone?"

After all, Mrs. Qin has been with the Queen Mother for decades, and she knows her temperament, seeing her ask like this, she knows that the Queen Mother has the intention of giving marriage, and thinks that if her granddaughter gets the marriage of the Queen Mother, she will marry into her husband's family in the future, so she smiled and said, "Waiting for you to give marriage"

When the Queen Mother heard her friend say this, the smile on her face became more and more satisfied, and she lovingly took Qin Siyu's hand and looked at it carefully, turned her head and said to Old Lady Qin, "People like Yu'er are mourning, but you have to help us find a good family for Yu'er" and said to Mama Li with a smile, "You take a few girls to the Imperial Garden for a walk, I'm afraid we're a few old women talking here, I'm afraid we're already impatient."

The Queen Mother just found a reason to send them out to talk to Xu and Qin, the two old ladies and gentlemen, Xu Zigui followed his cousin to salute the Queen Mother and walked out with Mama Li.
