On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the Queen Mother celebrated her 60th birthday. ↙ Eighty-eight ↙ ↙ reading ↙, .※.o◇

In order to accumulate blessings for his mother, he specially ordered that the taxes of the three provinces along the Yangtze River, which were affected by floods last year, be halved. The most stringent provinces are exempt from taxes.

At the same time, the word "Jingyi" was added to the existing emblem of the Queen Mother's "Hexian". At the same time, a group of palace concubines were promoted to the next level. Among them, Rong Yun has entered a talented person from the selection of waiters, and Qing Concubine has become a Qing Concubine.

One thing is correct can be said to be lucky, two things can be said to be coincidence, when all three things are in line with it, Mu Xuan has to be cautious. Could it be that all the ridiculous things Rong Zheng said were true. But how can people have memories of their past lives, and how can they start over in life?

Rong Zheng's words were a little grotesque, but one by one they were coming true as Rong Zheng said, and Mu Xuan was still shocked into a cold sweat. What should I do with the road under my feet? For the first time, he felt a little stunned.

Mu Xuan followed her father and younger brother to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, and the sedan chairs of the female dependents walked in the back position. Mu Xuan rode on horseback and couldn't help but glance back at Rong Zheng's sedan chair. I was slightly determined, since what Rong Zheng said was the truth, then in the case that the future could be predicted, they should be able to live a good life and avoid repeating the previous tragedy.

Shoukang Palace has already gathered a lot of external and internal women who came to congratulate him. The Queen Mother wore a gown full of jujube red silk from the Golden Palace, her gray hair was tied in a bun, and she wore an emerald head. Spirited. She sat upright on the couch with a gentle and loving face. For everyone who came to kowtow to her, they were smiling and very kind.

After Rong Zheng knelt down with the princess, he saw the eldest princess Ning Yu waving to her.

The princess gently pushed her and said with a smile: "Go ahead." The eldest princess called you. ”

Rong Zheng looked up and saw that Princess Yu was talking to Princess Gui, she hesitated for a moment and then obediently came to Princess Ning's side. The eldest princess smiled and said, "Why didn't you enter the palace on the first day of junior high school?" ”

Rong Zheng blushed and said, "Princess, I was late that day. The family also arranged for the prince and the princess to bring the prince and the princess to congratulate, so they didn't come if they didn't have anything to do. ”

The eldest princess smiled when she saw her cautious appearance: "Hey, if you don't come, you won't come, it's not a big deal." I just didn't see you that day, so I'm just a little curious. Congratulations on your sister being in the seat again. Now he is a talented person. ”

Rong Zheng said: "Thank you princess for your congratulations." ”

The two casually talked about a few family things. Rong Zheng saw Mrs. Fang in the crowd. She wanted to go up and talk to the eldest uncle, but the eldest princess pulled her and said, "You have something to do?" ”

Rong Zheng smiled: "My aunt is here, I have to go and say hello." ”

"Oh. Good. ”

When Mrs. Fang saw Rong Zheng coming over, she smiled and asked in a low voice, "Have you seen your sister?" ”

Rong Zheng shook his head blankly, and Mrs. Fang said, "I said that I came in to see her today, but I still can't see her." ”

Rong Zheng said: "The eldest sister lives in the Yuming Palace. After a while, I accompanied my aunt to meet her. ”

Before she came, Mrs. Fang was still worried, but now she saw Rong Zheng and offered to help her go to see Rong Yun. How can I not rejoice in my heart?

"Why didn't the second sister come with the uncle?"

"I left her at home, and it wasn't very convenient to bring her along." Mrs. Fang was worried that her second daughter didn't keep her mouth open, so she opened her mouth and said something nonsense.

This time, the stage was set in the front yard of Shoukang Palace, and so many noblewomen came and went. Mrs. Fang, who did not enter the stream, was quickly drowned in the crowd.

It's a good thing that no one pays attention, so Mrs. Fang prepares to go with Rong Zheng to see her daughter. Rong Zheng and Mrs. Fang said, "Uncle, I'll come when I go to say hello." ”

Mrs. Fang saw Rong Zheng go to the side of the eldest princess Ning Yu and said something. The eldest princess's gaze glanced at Mrs. Fang and nodded. Mrs. Fang didn't know what was going on. I panicked. Rong Zheng explained a few more words to the princess, and then came over and said to Mrs. Fang: "Uncle, let's go." ”

The two went all the way to the Yuming Palace, followed by the maid who entered the palace together.

The Yuming Hall is behind the Zhongcui Palace, and each palace looks similar, but the difference is just the name. Red walls, red doors. If it weren't for the fact that the eldest princess sent a little eunuch to lead the way for them before, I am afraid that they would have been dizzy and did not know the direction.

Finally came to the outside of the Yuming Palace, Rong Zheng felt that his legs were a little sore. She saw the three upright characters on the plaque, the words "Yuming Palace" written on it, and she was finally relieved.

There were eunuchs guarding outside the Yuming Palace, and when they saw them, they came up and asked, "You are also here to congratulate Niangniang?" ”

The "Niangniang" in the eunuch's mouth naturally refers to Concubine Qing who has just entered the position.

Mrs. Fang wanted to explain that she was here to see Rong Cairen, but Rong Zheng preemptively said, "Yes, please help inform me." ”

"What's the report, the people who came to congratulate today have broken through the threshold, please go inside." He made a gesture of please, and at the same time did not forget to give them a dumb riddle to be rewarded. The dredge fee is naturally indispensable, and Mrs. Fang handed over the purse prepared in advance. The little eunuch secretly weighed it, the number didn't seem to be large, and his face was a little pale.

Under the guidance of others, he finally entered the courtyard of the Yuming Palace. There is an old plum tree planted in the yard, and there are several large rolling jars, which I think should have water lilies and koi fish in the rolling jars in the summer. There was a flower shelf in the corner of the courtyard, but it was empty, and I couldn't tell if it was a grape trellis or something else. Under the corridor stood all the palace maids, as well as the servants who came to congratulate Concubine Qing.

Before I stepped into the main room, I heard laughter from inside, and I was very happy.

It's all here, how can you say hello if you don't say hello to Zhengzhu, after all, people are the lords of Yuming Palace, and Rong Yun will have to live in the hands of others in the future.

Fortunately, Mrs. Fang also prepared a salute in advance and walked up the stone steps with Rong Zheng. A palace maid came up and asked with a smile: "You are also here to congratulate the mother?" ”

The tone was exactly the same as that of the little eunuch guarding the door, and even the words he said were word for word.

Mrs. Fang had no choice but to smile and say yes, and the palace maid asked again: "Is it a relative of Niangniang, please sue Madame sù, and I will report for Madame." ”

"This ......," Mrs. Fang was a little embarrassed. She bit her lip and glanced at Rong Zheng.

Rong Zheng said with a smile: "We are Rongcai's mother's family, and we want to congratulate Concubine Qing on my mother." ”

I heard that it is the mother's family of Rongcai. The palace maid's face was a little unpleasant, and she said casually: "I know, you wait, I'll ask for you." ”

The palace maid lifted the curtain and went in. The laughter in the room continued, and Mrs. Fang and Rong Zheng looked at each other. How long are they going to wait here?

Rong Zheng carefully observed the layout of the Yuming Palace, there are a total of five main halls, needless to say, it must be the daily living place of Concubine Qing. Equipped with east and west wings. There are also about a dozen rooms in total. It's just that I don't know where Rong Yun lives.

In addition to the front hall, there is also the apse, as for how large it is. Because I didn't go to the back, I don't know.

The two stood under the eaves, Rong Zheng looked up and counted the kisses of the owls sitting on the beams of the house, looking at the golden glazed tiles. Just a few tiles, the palace maid who passed the word came out. Said coldly: "Niangniang, please come in." ”

Rong Zheng walked behind Mrs. Fang, and the two entered the main hall one after the other.

Before stepping into the house, Rong Zheng smelled a faint fragrance wafting in, and his heart was really fragrant. and into the house. But I feel like the room is full of people.

On the futon handed by the palace maid, Mrs. Fang and Rong Zheng knelt down to Concubine Qing.

The concubine sitting on the red sandalwood carved throne opened her lips lightly, and said with a hint of arrogance: "You are from the Rong family. It's hard for you to still have this heart to congratulate this palace. ”

Mrs. Fang said with a smile: "Niangniang is very happy, how can you not come to congratulate Niangniang." ”

Concubine Qing slowly played with the new tortoiseshell armor of the Internal Affairs Bureau. It was evident that she liked the new armor system. I didn't even look at them. didn't say anything to let them get up, and let Mrs. Fang and Rong Zheng kneel.

At this moment, I don't know which lady said: "When is Niangniang going to Shoukang Palace?" ”

"Shoukang Palace? The congratulatory gift was sent early in the morning, and the queen mother said that the palace didn't have to show her face today. Let the palace be comfortable with the mother's family for a day. ”

"In the end, it is the love of the Queen Mother."

"This is the love of her old man. But how can you do it without showing your face, and those who don't know should say that this palace is frivolous. There's no rush at this time, I'll go back when it's almost time. ”

Concubine Qing raised her eyes to look at the two kneeling on the ground, and let out a disdainful laugh: "Okay, why did you forget to get you up while patronizing." ”

Mrs. Fang and Rong Zheng got up at this time. Mrs. Fang held the gift box with her own hands again, and Concubine Qing took a look at it and saw that it was a round box with red color, and she didn't know what it contained. She didn't lack anything now, so naturally she wasn't interested, so she said "bothered" and asked the big palace maid next to her to take it.

She was about to send the two of them away in a few words, but suddenly saw the Rong Zheng standing behind Mrs. Fang, and felt a little familiar. secretly, it looks like the person who talked to the eldest princess on the New Year's Day. What is the origin of this man? How did you get the blue eyes of the queen mother's favorite princess? She remembered that she had heard that the eldest son of the Yu Wangfu married the young lady of the Rong family, and it was said that she was Rong Yun's sister. It seems that the sisters really have a little bit of imagination.

Concubine Qing's words softened a little and said, "The talented person lives in the back room, you can go to the back to see her." ”

Mrs. Fang thanked her.

Rong Zheng and her eldest aunt came to the apse, compared to the main hall full of voices and laughter, but this side is a lot more deserted. A dark green palace maid greeted her and said, "Mrs. is here." After glancing at Rong Zheng a few more times, he laughed: "This is the third lady." Why did the third lady come together? ”

Rong Zheng smiled and said, "You are Rue Xiang next to the eldest sister." ”

"Slave maid exactly."

The layout of the courtyard of the apse is one level worse than the main hall, and although there are five rooms in the front room, it is because it is a stall of the house in front, and the house is also faint without saying.

Rong Yun saw her mother and cousin coming through the window, and hurriedly lifted her dress to welcome her, and before she stepped out of the threshold, Mrs. Fang couldn't help but burst into tears when she saw it, and quickly stepped forward to hold her daughter in her arms, screaming heartily.

After all, it was cold outside, so Rong Yun invited her mother and cousin to sit in the warm pavilion.

The furnishings in the house here are much more plain, but fortunately, the house is warm enough not to be frozen. The clothes on Rong Yun's body are still bright, and life is not very difficult.

After entering the house, Mrs. Fang said that she wanted to salute her daughter, but Rong Yun held her arms and cried: "The two of them finally met, if you want to be like this when you meet your mother, how dare your daughter see you again in the future." ”

Mrs. Fang wiped her tears for her daughter and said, "Good girl, you have suffered. ”

Rong Yun didn't want her mother to worry, so she smiled and said, "It's not bitter, it's not bitter, this bad day is coming." When I was a child, my mother asked someone to calculate it for me, saying that I was rich and noble. Now that I have reached such a rich place, what else is there to say? ”

"Good boy, if you really think so, I can't say anything. Although they all live in Beijing, after all, it is not easy to see each other through the layers of palace walls. You need to take care of yourself. ”

"I know. Mother, we finally met and said a few words, don't cry. Rong Yun wiped her mother's tears again.

Rong Zheng looked at the mother and daughter who were relatively crying, and felt empathy in his heart. Then he stepped forward and comforted: "Okay, it's rare to see a comfortable person to talk for a while." Today is a day of great joy, and this kind of crying is not good for people to see. ”

Mrs. Fang cleaned up her feelings first, and gradually a smile appeared on her face, and she took her daughter's hand and said, "Your sister is right. We're free to talk for a while. ”

Rong Yun said: "I don't have anything to say, I just ask my father and mother to take good care." Don't worry too much about your daughter. ”

"Well, we all know that. You don't have to worry too much about us. There are your brothers and sisters at home, and they are lively and lively, and you are not as alone here. ”

Mrs. Fang said as tears began to fall again.

It seems that I can't persuade him for a while. Rong Zheng knew that the mother and daughter must have a lot of private things to say, so they quietly withdrew. Go outside and talk to the palace maids.

Rue Xiang saw her come out and was busy serving.

"Third Miss ......" noticed that the title was wrong, and quickly changed the title: "Is the third aunt and grandmother cold?" ”

Rong Zheng shook his head with a smile: "It's not cold, I have a hand stove in my arms." ”

Rue Xiang remembered the days in Bianliang, and greeted the two big girls Ziying and Zisu beside Rong Zheng.

Rong Zheng smiled: "They know that you are still thinking about them, I don't know how happy they are." ”

Rue Xiang said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the slave maid is also Bianliang, and she grew up with Ziying at the beginning. When Sister Shisu was doing needlework in the old lady's room, the slave maid also asked her to help trace the patterns. ”

Rue Xiang and Ziying are the same, they are the sons of the Rong family. Ruxiang's mother used to be an errand boy in Mrs. Qiao's room, and her only daughter also entered the house, and Mrs. Qiao saw that she was still smart and clever, so she rewarded her eldest granddaughter. However, ten years ago, Rong Zheng felt like a few lifetimes had passed. (To be continued.) )
