Chapter 102: Entering the Palace 2
The queen asked Xie An to raise his head, and Xie An also raised his head slowly. This time, she was not as restrained as the face saint in the last draft, I saw her looking at the queen with a smile on her face, and she accepted the critical gaze generously.
The owner of this gaze is the current queen and the queen mother's niece Liu. She wears a phoenix crown, a yellow shirt, and a dark blue veil with golden clouds and dragon texts woven on it. Although he looks a little old and has a mediocre appearance, he is also graceful and luxurious, and he is not angry and arrogant.
Xie An was also smiling, but the queen was not. Her unsmiling face looked very strict, and ordinary women would be scared when they saw it. Xie An was also worried in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and the smile kept on his face. At the same time, neither the emperor nor Xiao Xiaohan spoke, and the hall became unusually quiet, and the atmosphere was a little weird. Suddenly, the queen smiled and said to the emperor sitting next to her: "Your Majesty, this sister Xie is really good, she is really a wonderful person." It is very opposite to Prince Li, the two of them are sitting there, and they are really a pair of golden boys and girls. ”
When the emperor heard this, he glanced at Xie Anyi meaningfully. Although Xie An looked at the empress just now, his gaze did not dare to turn to the emperor at all. As soon as the queen's words fell, she felt that a gaze was looking at him, and that naked look made Xie An feel uncomfortable.
"Yo, Your Majesty, Sister Xie's shy appearance is somewhat similar to Sister Hua's sister."
It's really a pot that can't be opened, so isn't Concubine Hua the sister of the former crown princess Lu! The queen clearly said that she looked like Xiao Lu, but in fact, she was saying that she was similar to the Lu family that the emperor never forgot in his heart. The queen must have known that the emperor had taken a fancy to Xie Anyi and had the intention to include her in the harem, and today she deliberately mentioned it, and she didn't know why.
"Cough" The emperor cleared his throat, and was about to speak, when a female official from the Queen Mother's side came to pass the word, saying that the Queen Mother was already waiting for Prince Li and Princess Li to ask for peace in Renshou Palace.
In this way, it is not easy for the emperor and empress to keep people, so Xiao Xiaohan and Xie An also hurry to Renshou Palace. The emperor also specially instructed Gonggong Lin on the side: "Go and carry the soft sedan chair over, the emperor's brother is in poor health." Don't take the wind. ”
"I've already done your bidding, and I'm waiting outside." Lin Gonggong said.
Xiao Xiaohan and the others hurriedly thanked them, walked out of the hall, and got into the sedan chair.
Xie An also saw that Xiao Xiaohan's head was covered with cold sweat. He hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and raised his hand to wipe him. Who knows, Xiao Xiaohan grabbed her hand, Xie An was also stunned, and suddenly understood. This sweat cannot be wiped. In this way, the two of them can leave the palace and return home earlier.
……
The Queen Mother really looked kind as Xiao Xiaohan said. After Xiao Xiaohan and Xie An also finished saluting, she called Xie Anyi to come to her, grabbed Xie Anyi's hand and said, "Sure enough, it's a clever child." At the beginning, the mourning family liked you very much when they saw you, so they selfishly wanted you to be the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family. ”
Xie An also blushed cooperatively, and looked at Xiao Xiaohan who was sitting on the side embarrassedly.
The Queen Mother looked at the expressions of the two of them, and said: "Han'er is weak, Princess Liu passed away three years ago, and no one in the house takes care of it." From now on, you will have to take care of the affairs of the house. It is also necessary to open up branches and leaves for the Xiao family as soon as possible. ”
Xie An also listened, didn't swallow a mouthful of saliva, and choked and coughed repeatedly. The palace maids hurriedly handed her tea to drink, and rubbed her back for a while, and she got better.
The Queen Mother saw that her face was as red as an apple, and she smiled and quipped: "This woman, everyone who marries is a mother, what is there to be embarrassed about." ”
After speaking, he thought about it thoughtfully, and said to Xiao Xiaohan: "It's just Han'er." Your body should be well recuperated, and I will send Imperial Doctor Li to take a look at you tomorrow. ”
Xiao Xiaohan leaned on the back of the chair and said a little weakly: "Queen Xie cares." Imperial Doctor Li is specially for the queen mother's illness, how can the sons take it up. Fortunately, there are a few doctors in the son's mansion. The medical skills are not bad. Erchen feels that his body has improved a lot for a while, and he was still very energetic when he got married yesterday, maybe he drank some wine, and he was sick again today. ”
"Well, then continue to let the doctor in your house take a look. Alas, the mourners worry about your body every day in the palace. In this way, you let the steward eunuchs around you regularly enter the palace to tell the mourning family about your physical condition, and also give Imperial Doctor Li a look at the prescription they prescribed for you to see if there is anything wrong. ”
"Yes, Queen Mother." Xiao Xiaohan agreed.
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she patted Xie Anyi's hand again and said, "When Concubine Hua came to greet the mourning family this morning, she begged the mourning family to let her stay for a while, saying that she wanted to take a look at you and let the mourning family send her back." But then the mourning family thought about it, after all, you are concubines, and you have to move around more on weekdays. I don't think you can go to her now, you are about the same age, it is better to be more comfortable than an old woman like me. ”
Xie An didn't dare to do it, so he hurriedly followed the female officer out. Xiao Xiaohan didn't want to see the concubines in the harem, so he stayed in Renshou Palace to talk to the queen mother.
Xie An has also heard the name of Concubine Hua from Mama Zhou a long time ago, her original name was Lu Nianyu, and she was the second daughter of the Lu family. Because of her good family affairs, she looks like the Lu family, and gave birth to two little princes for the emperor, and she has been favored all these years. Because of this, she is very high-profile on weekdays, and sometimes even the queen gives her three points.
After walking for almost a stick of incense, Xie An finally arrived at the Yikun Palace where Concubine Hua was located. The palace maid had been waiting outside the palace for a long time, and when she saw the female official next to the Queen Mother coming over with a woman dressed in the costume of the princess, she knew that Xie An must have come, and she hurriedly stepped forward to salute and bring Xie An into Yikun Palace.
Yikun Palace is much larger than other palaces, only slightly smaller than the Queen Mother's Renshou Palace. The floor is paved with large blocks of masonry and is cleaned spotlessly. Xie An also noticed that there was a cobblestone path next to the path she was walking. She couldn't help but look at the pebbles that were the same size and shape, and if she looked closely, there was also the same jade as the shape and size of the pebbles, shining blue in the sun.
"Our mother heard a little eunuch say that walking this kind of stone road is good for your health, so she sued the emperor. Who knew that the emperor sent someone to repair this stone road on the second day, extending from the gate of our palace to the mother's bedroom. I heard that these stones and jade are the same size are hard to find, and they cost a lot of silver. The ladies of the other palaces heard that they also wanted to build exactly the same article, but they were all rejected by the emperor. Seeing that Xie An also glanced at the unique stone road of their palace, the palace maid opened her mouth to explain, looking like she was honored.
It seems that this Concubine Hua is really as favored as the legend, Xie An also thought in his heart.
Because a little palace maid had already entered the palace to report, Xie An also walked in directly. (To be continued.) )
PS: I'm sick again, and there is no one in poor health...... I saw a doctor, and my medical insurance card was gone, so I begged for comfort......
