Chapter 79: XIII

March 15 is a special day.

Su Meng was dug up from the quilt by Aunt Rong and Hongyu early in the morning, dressed in auspicious clothes, and combed a luxurious and beautiful flying fairy bun, decorated with several smooth and delicate pearl hairpins.

The pearl hairpin is slightly lighter, and you can embellish a few more on Su Meng's not thick bun, so it looks luxurious, but not heavy.

Su Meng was dazed and dressed up, and was stuffed into a warm sedan chair by Hongyu to go to Zhaoyang Palace.

It wasn't until she arrived at Zhaoyang Hall that Su Meng had some spirits, and muttered while getting off the sedan chair: "My birthday, why do you have to come to say hello to the queen?" It was my mother who gave birth to me and raised me, not the queen! ”

"Ancestor, be quiet, you can't say this, it's not good for your reputation to spread it!" Ruby said anxiously on the side.

Fortunately, the few attendants who carried the warm sedan chair on the side were all from Yulin Pavilion, otherwise Hongyu would have to worry about it for several days.

Even if it is an ordinary family, the stepmother is also the mother, and the children should also serve before and after, how can it be like Su Meng, who is lazy to ask for peace every day.

"Her Royal Highness the Third Princess has arrived!" The inner attendant who greeted the concubines and princesses outside saw that it was Su Meng, and hurriedly raised his voice, then bowed to Su Meng, and welcomed Su Meng in with a smile.

Su Meng was quite impressed by this person, and every day when she came to invite An, this person welcomed her in, and she had also observed that he could greet her with a smile regardless of whether she was a favored concubine or not.

The queen is really a good means, sending such a person outside, anyone will think that the queen is virtuous and generous.

Su Meng walked in quietly, and saw that none of the concubines had arrived today, but she won the first place.

The queen was naturally the last to appear, so she was the only one in the entire hall.

Hongyu helped Su Meng sit in her place, and whispered: "Today's birthday, you must be the first to arrive, to show respect for the queen." ”

Su Meng said impatiently: "I know, I know!" ”

Aunt Rong had been talking for half a night last night, and today she actually let Hongyu never mention it, she was really about to be annoyed to death!

As the concubines came slowly, the low-grade naturally arrived first than the high-grade, and in this way, they all arrived one after another before the queen came.

"Meet the queen, may the mother be happy for a long time." All the concubines, including the three princesses, bowed in unison.

The queen knew that today was Su Meng's birthday, so she smiled and said: "Mengmeng is thirteen in a blink of an eye, and today's outfit is really eye-catching, and it looks extraordinarily dusty." ”

Su Meng smiled and didn't answer, but just bowed slightly, expressing his approval. Aunt Rong's teaching: In the face of anyone's praise, just smile! If you talk too much, you will lose!

After the queen praised her, she was a concubine, a concubine, and so on. In short, everyone who arrived today said a word of congratulations, and Su Meng's cheeks were cramped with laughter, which ended today's greetings.

Su Meng walked out of Chaoyang Palace, sat in the warm sedan chair, and reached out to rub his cheeks for a while, only to feel that his face had regained consciousness.

"Go back!" Su Meng said in the warm car.

"Yes!" Ruby answered outside.

Sometimes Su Meng would choose to go to the garden or sit at the second princess's, so at this time she would tell Hongyu a clear place where she was going.

After returning to Yulin Pavilion, without saying a word, he first took off the pearl hairpin and a lot of tassels, hair accessories, and wigs on his head, and then planted himself on the bed in the bedroom, wanting to sleep back.

Aunt Rong was willing to let go of Su Meng, helped her up and said, "If you want to sleep, you won't be able to sleep until the afternoon." ”

"Why?" Su Meng asked with hazy eyes, she had barely been refreshed all morning, what were she going to do now?

"Wait for the ladies of the palace to send someone to send congratulatory gifts, can't we collect them on our behalf? This is unreasonable, and besides, everyone in our hall will kowtow to you for a birthday! Aunt Rong helped Su Meng to the dresser and asked Hongyu to put the hairpin rings that Su Meng had pulled off one by one.

Su Meng looked at herself who was spiritless in the mirror, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "Where is this birthday, I will be tossed to death by you in life!" ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, today is your birthday, and you are not allowed to talk nonsense if you don't die." Aunt Rong was muttering on the side.

Su Meng pursed her lips, so she could only shut up and let Hongyu do something wrong on her head.

Just when Su Meng had just finished dressing up, he heard the waiter shouting: "Your Majesty has arrived." ”

Everyone hurriedly walked towards the door, and as soon as Su Meng arrived at the door, he saw the emperor dressed in a dark clothes, and walked in with a smile and said, "Congratulations to our little princess on her birthday!" ”

Su Meng hurriedly leaned around the emperor and said, "Father, don't say anything, I'm only thirteen, what kind of longevity is it!" ”

"Count, count!" The emperor pulled Su Meng into the main hall, and Hongyu hurriedly served tea and stood aside.

"I don't seem to be happy about you, who provoked you?" The emperor came to the top and sat down, so Su Meng sat beside him and asked.

Su Meng secretly glanced at Aunt Rong, only to see Aunt Rong shaking her head gently, but she pretended not to see Aunt Rong's face, so she said aggrievedly: "Aunt Rong woke up early and told me to get up early and wear this and that for me, I feel like my head is going to be flattened!" Today is the earliest to go to Zhaoyang Palace, and the latest to go! ”

"I wanted to come back and sleep for a while, but I was dragged up again, saying that there would be someone to send congratulatory gifts, accept the congratulations of the palace maids, and the congratulations of some official ladies! I don't want it, it's crowded, noisy and chaotic! ”

After hearing this, the emperor was happy for a long time, it turned out that his daughter was lazy, and he thought that someone really dared to make his baby daughter unhappy!

However, at the age of thirteen, there was no need to make the birthday so grand, so he decreed: "Do not let the noble ladies of the court enter the palace to congratulate." ”

Su Meng's eyes lit up, and he twisted his arm while holding the emperor, and recited praise words such as "Father is so good" and "Father is really considerate".

In short, the emperor was coaxed to be happy, and in order not to disturb his daughter's return to sleep, he sat down for a while and left.

What followed was the reward of the emperor and queen, and then the congratulatory gifts of the concubines and those low-ranking concubines.

Su Meng was naturally overjoyed with the emperor's special order, and before Aunt Rong was angry, she hurriedly said: "Aunt Rong, you have been tired for so long, go and rest, I am tired of you, I feel distressed!" ”

Her words were like sugar smeared with honey, how sweet and sweet, Su Meng hurriedly called the green calyx to serve Aunt Rong to rest, and then she skillfully removed the hairpin ring on her head and planted her head on the bed.

"Oh no, no, no! The eldest princess was pushed into the lake by the second princess! A little girl who had just combed her hair didn't know that Su Meng had fallen asleep, and came to the door of the dormitory screaming.

Neither the red jade nor the green calyx were there, and only Lamei was guarding the door, so she went to boil the pot of water, and when she saw the girl calling, it was too late to advise.
