The Forbidden City was still called the Forbidden City at this time, and in this year, it was the harem, and in front of it was the world of men. The carriage entered through the Xihua Gate, entered the gate, got off, and walked. Before entering the palace, Nalan repeatedly told the three brothers and sisters to walk in the palace, avoid shaking their heads and tails, and looking around, so when they entered the palace gate, the three brothers and sisters did not lift the curtain to see the appearance of the Forbidden City. Hajlan is okay, I have visited the Forbidden City a few times in my last life, after all, I have visited the main axis building, and the style is still remembered. In addition, he also stayed in the Cining Palace where Xiaozhuang lived for a while. Qi Buchen has always been quiet and well-behaved, but he is more painful for the active and curious Eruri.

Under the leadership of the chamberlain who came to the mansion yesterday, the Nalan clan walked in the Forbidden City in a regular manner, turned a corner, passed through a few palace gates, and then stood down in front of the steps of Ningshou Palace. Nalan and the three brothers and sisters raised their stiff necks slightly, and Hajilan saw the plaque under the eaves in the middle, Ningshou Palace written in Manchu, Mongolian, and Han languages, well, she recognized them. This is probably the Cining Palace where Xiaozhuang lived before his death and the Ningshou Palace where the Queen Mother who also came from the Horqin Prairie lived. These are all related to the guests.

Hajlan was pondering, and a eunuch came out of it and said to the Nalan clan and his party, "The Empress Dowager announced that the Nalan clan brought her children to meet her. ”

Nalan hurriedly straightened the tiara and clothes that had been sorted out, and led the three Eruli brothers and sisters in, and the eunuch had already retreated after raising the door curtain to let them in, and the three brothers and sisters followed Nalan into Ningshou Palace, and then according to Nalan's appearance, solemn, kneeling, and knocking, and said in Mongolian language, "Nalan respectfully invites the Queen Mother Sheng'an." ”

"Erruli/Qibchen/Hajlan respectfully invite the Queen Mother St. Ann." The three brothers and sisters also said in Mongolian.

"Well, let's get up." Although the queen mother has been in the palace for many years, the Manchu language is still okay, and the Chinese is still half a bucket of water, and many places are still incomprehensible. Perhaps because the three brothers and sisters of Nalan and Eruli greeted each other in Mongolian, the voice of the Queen Mother seemed to be full of joy.

"Empress Dowager Xie." Nalan and the three brothers and sisters agreed together in Mongolian, and after getting up, Nalan was given a seat again. The three brothers and sisters stood honestly behind the Nalan clan, the dress of the maiden was quite heavy, and it was not very convenient to move, but they couldn't bring a servant to support them, so it was a hard job. Qi Buchen carefully reached out to support Nalan's arm when Nalan got up, and on the other side, Hajilan saw Qi Buchen's movements and hurriedly held Nalan's other arm.

Stand still, your head can't be too low, that looks petty. With such an exquisiteness, the three brothers and sisters were able to take a look at this Ningshou Palace. The place where the Queen Mother lives, of course, is too good to be true.

The Empress Dowager, who was sitting on the upper seat, had a smile on her face and said to the Nalan clan in Mongolian, "You three children are quite well-behaved!" It's going to be very competitive in the future. ”

Nalan hurriedly replied: "Accept your auspicious words, the Queen Mother has won the award." The Queen Mother, you don't know, except for Qi Buchen's relatively quiet temperament, the two children Eruri and Hajilan are actually very lively, because you called them into the palace and taught them at home for most of the night, so that they had a bit of a regular appearance, and they were wild when they were in Chahar. "It was also spoken in Mongolian.

"Eniang," Eruri's little face turned red, raised his eyes to look at the Queen Mother, and said with a sad face, "Why do you say that about your son and sister." You know, it's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, my son and sister just practice this sentence, and my sons follow the rules. ”

Hajlan on the side also nodded in agreement.

"Haha!" The Empress Dowager said with a smile, "I didn't expect Eruli to be really interesting, look at these big eyes, there is a god, and then listen to this, it's really smart and clever." These two siblings are really the same, and the mourning family remembers that Hajlan seemed to be only two years old when he was in the palace, and the stories he told were so interesting and attractive! ”

"Queen Mother, my brother is very powerful." Hajlan hurriedly said, for the story he told before was so attractive, he could really only say that there was a lack of entertainment in ancient times, and the palace was full of days, and the life of the palace people was too boring.

The Queen Mother beckoned to Hajlan, who had grown into a little girl, and then hugged Hajlan in her arms as affectionately as before.

Hajlan looked at the Queen Mother and smiled sweetly, to be honest, the Queen Mother is also very good-looking, she should have just reached fifty years old now, but because of good maintenance, it seems to be the same as what she saw when she left the Forbidden City to go to Chahar, she still looks less than forty, the Queen Mother's face is round, and her facial features are not very beautiful, but they are also very comfortable. It is said that this filial piety Empress Dowager is not Kangxi's biological mother, but his mother-in-law, think about her is also unlucky enough, married to Shunzhi, who does not love the country and loves beauty, and she is not a beauty loved by the emperor, but the emperor actually likes to abolish the queen, and it is not enough to abolish one, but also to abolish the second, and now sitting on it, looking at Hajilan with a kind face, is the second queen who Shunzhi has repeatedly wanted to abolish in order to make room for his favorite beauty, but fortunately there is filial piety to protect the second queen who has not been abolished, The Queen Mother who is now recuperating.

Then the atmosphere was very harmonious, the queen mother asked how Chahar was, how his living habits were, how he felt after coming back, the children were very smart and clever, well-behaved and cute, and their parents were well trained, etc., and they were completely gossiping. Among them, Erruli's affectionate description of Chahar made the Queen Mother laugh again and again, and from time to time let out hearty laughter.

The Empress Dowager left the three brothers and sisters of Nalan and Eruri for lunch before letting them out of the palace, and said: "Originally, Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi were going to come to see you today, but yesterday they were punished by their Emperor Ama. Next time you come to the palace. ”

The three brothers and sisters of Nalan and Eruli went out of the palace under the leadership of the chamberlain of Ningshou Palace, and when they returned to the palace, they went back with many rewards from the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was very generous with a lot of rewards, new clothes, jewelry, and the four treasures of the study.
