Chapter 23: The Queen Mother

Following the father-in-law who led the way all the way, Su Yingtong was still quite interested in enjoying the beautiful scenery of the palace, but until her legs were sore, her interest was slowly polished, and she was so tired that she wanted to roar: "Have you arrived!" But just thinking about it, she didn't dare to be mad.

On the way, they were not the only ones, but other ministers also arrived. Gong Jingyu and those ministers walked in front, and she and her daughters and children followed. I'm just curious about what those ladies are dressed so decently and what do they have on their heads, why can they always maintain their elegance? Walking even the Zhu Hai on his head is quiet, what a stunt!

Even if they're not bored, aren't they tired? And this jewelry, isn't it just one of the pieces you designed? It's really popular!

At this time, the noble lady slanted a glance at Su Yingtong, who was looking at her fiercely, and her head didn't turn half a minute, and her eyes were extremely bad.

Su Yingtong retracted his gaze, and walked to the main hall without squinting, it was already noon, and everyone greeted each other in the main hall for a while before starting to have lunch. Lunch is naturally different seats for men and women, and the children are taken care of by someone in the palace, Su Yingtong relieved the palace maid to take away Xiao Zhao, and walked to the inner hall to sit.

Just sat down, the squint-eyed lady also sat down next to her, seeing such a black-faced god sitting next door, she really didn't have much appetite, Su Yingtong moved to the side, and barely moved.

She has to eat hard, although today is the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, but the "home" of the royal family is very huge, to entertain this and that, and to wait until the evening to participate in the main banquet and enjoy the moon before leaving, very tiring!

Although women's nature is gossip, but in order not to fall into their mouths, they just politely greeted each other before moving, and they didn't say a word during the meal, which made Su Yingtong stuffy enough.

But this is also beneficial, at least there is no need to laugh around with these people you don't know, and besides, Su Yingrou's enemies were all over Kyoto in the past, and she didn't know whether she was an enemy or a friend here, such as the black-faced god sister next to her, it would be better to have fewer intersections.

After finishing a meal at a speed, Su Yingtong just wanted to leave the table, when he heard the eunuch screaming: "The queen mother has arrived-"

Suddenly, all the good students hurriedly put down their chopsticks and stood in front of the door according to the queue to wait for the queen mother to arrive, of course, this queue has a distinction between dignity and inferiority, Su Yingtong was squeezed to the end for some reason, she was also happy to be quiet, silently standing behind to peek at the dignity of the legendary queen mother.

After a while, I saw a noble Fengyi woman being helped into it by the palace maid, needless to say, it was the queen mother. The queen mother is also so old, but she doesn't look old, and she is really well-maintained.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother, blessed Queen Mother!"

As soon as the queen mother stepped into the door, everyone saluted well, and Su Yingtong bowed his head and knelt down on one knee, making a salute that was a bit like the court of the Qing Dynasty. The queen mother looked condescendingly at a large number of juniors kneeling at her feet, nodded with satisfaction, and after a while, she opened Chrysostom and said, "Get up." ”

Su Yingtong rubbed his sore calves and stood up, and couldn't help but curse this evil feudal society in his heart. Who has never knelt in her previous life, and she is really embarrassed to death to kneel an old woman when she comes here. She looked up at the Queen Mother, admiring the phoenix flying picture on her body, but the Queen Mother, who was walking towards the main seat, suddenly stopped and looked at her, her face uncertain.

Su Yingtong was long-winded at the fierce eyes of the Queen Mother, only to find that everyone was with their heads down, so she looked up and hurriedly lowered her head to avoid it. But it was too late, and the overly sensitive personal palace maid beside the Queen Mother had already spoken: "Which courtier is that, who dares to be rude in front of the Queen Mother?" ”

The ladies were very puzzled, but they didn't dare to look up to confirm who the aunt was talking about. Seeing that the queen mother was angry, she knelt down in fear and shouted to the queen mother to calm her anger, which made Su Yingtong depressed, and simply admitted it herself: "The courtier, Princess Xiangyuan, inadvertently offended the queen mother, and asked the queen mother to forgive her sins." ”

At this time, all the noblewomen knew that it was the princess of Xiangyuan, the former Su Yingrou, and in such an instant, the uneasiness just now disappeared without a trace, and even a little gloating. This Su Yingrou has always been unpopular, and she still wanted to enter the palace to choose a concubine to sit on the throne of the queen, this kind of unreserved can be said to make the queen mother spurn to the extreme, but now that she is married to the princess of Xiangyuan, is she still so stupid?

"Princess Xiangyuan, come here." The queen mother said gloomily, she was really in a bad mood, the emperor and Xiangyuan were both royal children, she both loved the same, but the hateful thing was that Su Yingrou, the daughter of Prime Minister Su, had been ghostly, and her mind was very vicious, although she was not allowed to enter the palace as a concubine in the end, but she could marry the princess of Xiangyuan instead, she also didn't like it, after all, the daughters of the Su family were all scourges.

can't afford Xiangyuan.

But now for Xiangyuan's sake, she can't embarrass her too much.

"The courtiers have seen the queen mother."

Su Yingtong moved over nervously, dredged all the interests in his heart, and thought to himself that this queen mother is also a close elder of the palace mirror domain, and it shouldn't be too much if she doesn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, and it is impossible to be soft if necessary.

"At the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, the mourning family didn't want to be angry, but since she was the princess of Xiangyuan, she didn't even have the minimum etiquette, and openly peeped at the mourning family, what crime should you be guilty of?"

Mom, just look at her a few more times to peep? Do you really want to ask for sin? Her grandmother's, this old woman went all the way to the position of the queen mother, and she was really more feudal than ordinary people, and it was very difficult to deal with!

"The courtiers are guilty, and the queen mother is angry, just because the queen mother's phoenix face is eye-catching, the courtiers really can't resist, take a few more looks, no intention to offend, please forgive the queen mother." Su Yingtong covered her conscience and said a lot, thinking that a woman is a creature who likes to listen to good words, and it will always be right to praise more.

The queen mother's eyes trembled slightly, and she looked at Su Yingtong seriously, not long after, this daughter of the Su family is really as rumored, she is sensible, no longer irritable and brainless, and then take a closer look, people seem to be beautiful and have a lot of aura, in a beautiful room, although her appearance is not outstanding, but it is also eye-catching. It's just that she doesn't know whether this is good or bad?

She is a person from the past, and everyone knows that Xiangyuan doesn't like Su Yingrou, but even if Su Yingrou becomes the princess of Xiangyuan, when the Su family declines in the future, as long as Xiangyuan doesn't like the princess and wants to divorce his wife, she will definitely support it, but the problem is that Su Yingrou has changed now.

It seems that nothing can be decided too early. Just let it be and see what Xiangyuan means.

"Feng Yan is eye-catching? Irresistible? What is that word?

As soon as Su Yingtong heard the queen mother's rhetorical question, she knew that things were not so bad, after all, if the queen mother really wanted to punish her severely, she would not bother to talk any more, now she was just looking for steps, she was in good spirits, and moved out of the steps with cooperation, "Yes, the queen mother is blessed, the queen mother's face has not changed, the phoenix is thousands, and the future generations are really admired, now the Mid-Autumn Festival, get this opportunity, please let the younger generations wish the queen mother a happy life every year, and reunite every year!" ”

The title between the words was unconsciously changed from "courtier" to "junior", which is very suspicious, but this is really useful in the queen mother, seeing the queen mother smiling as bright as a flower, all the ladies can't help but be disappointed, but of course they can't express themselves, and they have to praise Su Yingrou according to the queen mother's wishes.

Su Yingtong "modestly" accepted everyone's praise, and then stood up at the signal of the queen mother, and at the same time couldn't help but spit on the palace in every possible way, it was really not a good place, and if she said the wrong word, she would lose her life in minutes, and couldn't help but sigh Fortunately, Su Yingrou failed to enter the palace at the beginning, otherwise she wouldn't be able to jump so alive now.

Thinking about it, the Palace Mirror Domain is not too bad, at least it gives her the freedom to toss around in the palace...... Hey? What does she want him to do?

Su Yingtong shook his head violently, shook off the shadow of the Palace Mirror Domain in his mind, and thought to himself that this would not work, this was a dangerous signal, absolutely, absolutely no longer thinking of irrelevant characters!

"Gong family, since you admire the mourning family so much, follow the mourning family to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers and relieve your boredom, and you should all follow."

Oh, too. Su Yingtong nodded absently, and was about to return to the end of the queue, when suddenly a figure appeared in front of her, completely blocking her way, and as soon as she looked up, she saw the personal old palace maid beside the queen mother.

What's up?

"Princess Xiangyuan, the Queen Mother called you, where are you going?"

Call me? Her name was ...... With a glaring of eyes, Su Yingtong finally came back to his senses, Gong's? Is that her?

The spirit returned in an instant, Su Yingtong was embarrassed, she has been sneaking out of the house these days, she is used to being free, and there is really not much concept of Su Yingrou being married and a wife......

"I didn't ...... I just want to get an umbrella, the sun is big outside, and the queen mother's phoenix body is important. Su Yingtong also admired his clumsiness in making excuses.

The Empress Dowager smiled, not seriously caring about her foolishness, "These are all prepared by the palace people, you guys, have you all had a good lunch?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, it's all good, the Queen Mother Xie cares!" It's a mechanical tone with one voice.

Su Yingtong looked at their crying faces with a secret smile, what a fart! One or two pretended to be desperate and ate for half an hour to eat so little something, fortunately she had the speed, otherwise she would have to accompany the queen mother to the garden hungry.

"That's good, let's go."

Su Yingtong hurriedly smiled and agreed, because it was the queen mother's name, so she could leave many imperial aunts behind her and accompany the queen mother. Although she doesn't like to accompany others so cautiously at all, but the imperial power is supreme, and she really has no way to do it.

The imperial garden of the imperial palace is naturally worthy of its name, with strange flowers and plants, Jiamu Phantom Teng, and Qingchi Pavilion...... Everywhere is luxurious and exquisite to the extreme, all of which show the supreme glory of the royal family.

Su Yingtong can be regarded as an eye-opener. The palace is a place, you can come to play occasionally, but you don't have to live for a long time. Day after day, there are times when the beauty of paradise gets tired of it.

"Princess Xiangyuan, tell me, how is this imperial garden?"

Su Yingtong's heart tightened, looked at the Queen Mother, and saw that although the Queen Mother walked naturally, her eyebrows were sadly locked, calm and waveless, and her eyes were empty.

I can't help but sigh. What do you want her to say, let the palace imprison a woman all her life, don't mention the loneliness first, the scheming must be exhausted, sleep unsteadily, until she reaches the position of the queen mother, at her age, no longer want to have any new pleasures in life, just for the power of the foreign family and the future of her children and grandchildren, try her best to send a person to her old path, until she arranges what she thinks is perfect, she will leave with confidence.

These women in the palace are actually pitiful.

Su Yingtong looked at the endless sea of flowers and sighed secretly, "Flowers are similar every year. This sentence is enough to sum up. And she also believes that the Queen Mother will understand what she means.

The Queen Mother paused, stopped and thought for a while, and couldn't help nodding and said, "That's a good point, but I don't know if there is a second half of the sentence?" ”

"Every year is different." After hesitating for a while, Su Yingtong still said it, these words were too desolate, and she was afraid that it would ruin the atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year?" Not far away, there was a male voice, everyone looked over, saw the yellow robe around the corner, and was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Missed the emperor's holy drive, please forgive the emperor!" ”

Su Yingtong reluctantly knelt down, he ordered the hall, kneeling and pleading guilty at every turn, what was her guilt? Antiquity is trouble!

So all kinds of words asking for forgiveness for sins were verbose for a while, and the uncle of the minister who followed the emperor asked the queen mother for peace, and the stinky emperor finally opened the golden mouth to let them flatten, with the previous lesson, Su Yingtong didn't dare to look up in vain, only to hear the emperor ask the queen mother to ask the queen mother: "Mother, I don't know who the words just now came from?" ”

"Princess Xiangyuan, raise your head," the queen mother really confessed to Su Yingtong. Looking back, I saw that everyone was waiting for the battle, **** said that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, everyone can easily order at will.

Su Yingtong disdained it for a moment, relaxed and casual? To put it lightly!

Raised his head stiffly, looked at the eyes of the man in front of him, dressed in a yellow robe, needless to say, it was the emperor without a doubt. For so long, she has been listening to the rumors that Su Yingrou has to enter the palace, and she is already curious to death, what kind of person is this Emperor Palace Yilin? Does Su Yingrou really like him so much?

Looking at it now, it is expected to be dashing, otherwise it would not have fascinated Sister Su Yingrou to death, but it seems to be a little younger, right? Because he is cousins with Gong Jingyu, their faces are a little similar, but his compelling momentum is tough, not as good as Gong Jingyu's heart-to-heart makes people afraid of alienation, although he has the momentum of the emperor, but it is obviously a lot colder, and it is really difficult to have a good impression when he looks at it.

Hearing that it was Su Yingrou, the emperor did not hide his disgust, and he happened to be caught by Su Yingtong in his eyes, and he couldn't help roaring in his heart: "Who do you think you stinky emperor thinks?" At the beginning, Su Yingrou insisted on marrying you, and there was nothing wrong with your sister! Who's going to take a fancy to you big stallion! ”

It's just that no matter how excited he is, Su Yingtong's facial expression can be described as calm and watery, and he concealed it very well, looking at the emperor in a daze, without blinking.

Facing her clear eyes, the emperor testified, it seemed that it was hard to believe that Su Yingrou, who was as a shrew in the past, would also have such clear eyes, and the doubts in her eyes flashed, could it be that Su Yingrou has really changed?
