Mrs. Tai was calm, the eldest lady didn't know anything, He Yan wanted to cover up, and several key figures were all light-hearted, so everyone was silent about Xingzhao being named the county lord or the queen mother's inexplicable mirror, whitewashing the peace.

Only Xingzhao's heart itched like hundreds of rats scratching together.

I didn't go out on the first and second days of junior high school, and I swept the ancestral grave on the third and fourth days of junior high school, and I didn't get the opportunity to be alone with Mrs. Tai for a few days. On the fifth day of the first lunar month, he had to put on a carriage and enter the palace to thank him. In the family, Mrs. Tai is a super lady, and the eldest lady is a first-class order, He Sanye's relocation order has come down, and he has finally been promoted to the fifth rank of the hall, but the third lady's order has not yet come. Therefore, this time I went, that is, Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Eldest Lady, plus a newly baked Wenyang County Lord, He Xingzhao.

Entering the palace to thank you is a big event, all of them are according to the quality of the big outfit, a few people in a car. In the car, the eldest lady looked very happy, and the lady was talking all over the world, and the lady smiled and responded.

Turn through the Shunzhen Gate, and you will enter the imperial city, no matter how noble you are, how high the officials will get off here.

The chamberlain of the Cihe Palace led him inside, and Mrs. Tai greeted him with a smile and asked again, "Whose lady has arrived?" The chamberlain answered one by one, but two or three families came. Xingzhao is worried, the He family has always been in a hurry not too late.

Waiting in Cihe Palace, and when he went in, there was a letter to wait for the wife of the Min family to greet him with several daughters-in-law. The Danshu Iron Coupon House of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been abolished less and less, and in this dynasty, it can be counted on one hand, and the nobles are even more sympathetic.

Mrs. Mrs. Min held hands with Mrs. Min affectionately and talked about the relationship between children and daughters, Mrs. Min took Mrs. Tai's hand while looking at Xingzhao and said: "It's a pity that our Ah Fan is nearly ten years older than the county lord of Wenyang, otherwise I would definitely come to propose." ”

The county lord did not have a specific deputy system, Xingzhao was wearing a high-waisted skirt with silver and red double blessing patterns inlaid with brocade and bamboo, and a magenta peony silk flower was hairpinned on the bun, and he was taking off the rose red gray squirrel skin and handing it to the palace people, only pretending not to hear, and looking down at the ground with a slightly red face.

Mrs. Tai shook her head humbly, first praised Grandma Min's virtue and deeds, and said: "I received the holy decree on Chinese New Year's Eve, and I was surprised and delighted, it is rare that the Queen Mother likes our family lady, and I feel that the Empress is taking care of her--in the end is my aunt." "The He family has always appeared in front of everyone with a humble and gentle attitude, although it is not a big deal to be named a county lord, but it has pushed the He family, which has always been low-key, to a high place in a strange way, and Mrs. Tai must find a reasonable reason to explain. Xingzhao listened quietly on the side, and the sharp temptations in these women's words will never be less.

As they spoke, people came one after another, and a female official shouted: "The Queen Mother has arrived!" ”

Everyone knelt on the ground everywhere, kowtowed three times, and sang in unison: "May the Queen Mother be blessed with peace and longevity!" ”

Not long after, a woman in her fifties, with long eyebrows and a medium build, who looked much younger than Mrs. Tai, walked out, followed by the eldest princess Yingyi wearing ten brocade ornaments with big red patterns.

"Let's all be flat!" The Empress Dowager Gu was not from a high background, climbed from the maid to the queen mother, and the palace has been up and down for decades, and has developed the habit of speaking with a bit of subtlety and depression whenever she speaks.

Xingzhao sat on the small pestle with his hand, and lowered his head to circle the inner hall, she had no title in her previous life, and it was not her turn to come. Now it seems that Ying Yi is really favored in front of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother sits on the top, Ying Yi takes a brocade pier and sits at the feet of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother asks where to go, only Ying Yi dares to laugh a few times.

"Mrs. Lin'an Hou and Master Hou like those New Year's gifts?" Empress Dowager Gu leaned forward, walked past Mrs. Tai with a smile on her face, and asked the eldest lady.

Xingzhao's heart tightened, and his face turned white. This confirmed her suspicions! The mirror was rewarded by the Empress Dowager Gu! She knew everything by now!

The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, then got up and replied with a slight face: "The emperor's grace is vast, and the concubines naturally like it very much." Hou Ye Hou also likes it. ”

Empress Dowager Gu nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Ying Yi beside her, and then fell on Xingzhao, who was dressed in red, and raised her chin: "This is the county lord of Wenyang?" ”

Xingzhao sighed in his heart, but he didn't delay on his feet, and hurriedly stepped forward. Mrs. Yu Tai replied loudly, "This is the eldest daughter of Lin'anhou, He Xingzhao, who is seven years old."

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said straightly: "Let her say it herself." ”

Xingzhao kowtowed three times firmly, singing auspicious words in his mouth, and listening to the words like this, he was puzzled, what else did he want her to say? Say I beg you to behave well and take care of your unobtrusive daughter, or do you please don't support your daughter and help her mother get rid of her mother?

Xingzhao knelt on the ground, his eyes fixed on the green bricks, and he didn't speak for a long time. The eldest lady was so anxious that she pulled her veil behind her, and puffed up her breath and said, "She-"

Before she finished her words, she heard Ying Yi interrupt with a smile: "Xingzhao is a very well-behaved little lady, clumsy and cautious, very similar to waiting for peace." The He family's tutor is very good, and the queen mother will know it by looking at Queen He of the previous dynasty. After saying that, he asked Xingzhao to help him up, and said warmly to Xingzhao: "But the queen mother personally sealed your Wenyang county lord, and I still don't thank the queen mother." ”

Xingzhao pursed her lips, her heart was on fire, Ying Yi's gloves were almost playing well, she was really a five or six-year-old child, she chose to flatter Mrs. Tai, chose coercion and temptation to He Yan, and chose to coax and buy Xingzhao, in a vain attempt to break each one. Growing up in the royal family, she seems to have forgotten that not everyone will choose between interests and kinship!

"Xingzhao is grateful for the grace of heaven, cherishes it, but cannot repay it." Finally opened his mouth, Xingzhao lowered his eyes after speaking, and said in a dry tone.

Mrs. Tai kept smiling, but no sharp-eyed person noticed that her tightly clenched fist hand suddenly loosened.

Empress Dowager Gu glanced at the little lady of Her Royal Highness, and when she lowered her head, she could see that her eyebrows and eyes looked like He Yan. In a trance, I remembered that after the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, the little daughter who had always loved knelt in front of her, and begged her with tears and tears, "Ah Yan has liked He Yan for half his life, and it is easy to have some hope." If the mother stops her, her daughter will turn her head and go to the moat! After she was shocked, she couldn't even feel any objection in her heart. She is just the daughter of a broken official family, how much she gave up, how much blood she got to climb into this position, she can't remember. The daughter is different, she was born with thousands of golden branches and jade leaves, she doesn't need to give up anything to fulfill her lifelong commitment, her daughter can't be like this

Empress Dowager Gu pressed her tongue, what about the Fang family. Can the Fang family still compete with the Heavenly Family? If you are angry, you will take it, and give it to me to swallow in my stomach! Those noble families rely on their ancestors to show off their might!

"Okay, okay, the little lady is thin-skinned. This red dress is dressed, standing with Ying Yi like a mother and daughter. Empress Dowager Gu settled down, waved her hand with a smile, and motioned for Xingzhao to sit back. He turned his head and said to Mrs. Min: "Your Arou will also be brought into the palace one day to take a look, I remember that she was born in Zhongchun, and she will be eleven years old at the beginning of the year."

Xingzhao lowered his eyebrows and stepped back, trying to forget the last sentence as much as possible. Sitting on the stool, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. has suffered a lot, and he can't change his temperament, and he can cover up the past with a good and obedient word, but he has to carry it hard, and he is humble and light-hearted, who will look at such a resistance.

The sound of the temple seemed to be covered by a bell, and it "buzzed" in the ears, and it seemed to sit for a quarter of an hour, and it seemed like an hour. I finally heard Empress Dowager Gu's deep voice: "Let's go to Weiyang Palace." I'm afraid the queen has been waiting for a long time. ”

Then they kowtowed to the ground, and were led by their chamberlains to the west.

Entering the main hall of Weiyang Palace, Queen Fang was already sitting on the top, wearing the Ming Huangfeng Nine Heavens pattern, wearing a nine-winged Qu crown, a little cinnabar between her eyebrows, and the eldest lady had a round face, but she didn't smile, her back was straight, and she was very dignified.

There are four or five richly dressed women sitting in the next flower, all of whom are concubines in the ** row.

As soon as Xingzhao entered, he saw Queen Fang at a glance, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising, Queen Fang treated her like a mother and daughter. Serving poetry and books, teaching etiquette, and teaching morality are all done by themselves, and since her mother went, it is not an exaggeration to say that she was raised by Queen Fang.

Press the surging, as everyone kowtows and salutes, singing blessing and auspicious words in their mouths, they are all a set of etiquette, almost inseparable, the queen said that she was flat, and everyone saluted a few inner women. Empress Fang introduced them one by one: "Concubine Chen De and Concubine Lu Shu are common, and Concubine Hui and Concubine Wang just got the treasure seal." ”

Xingzhao raised his eyes and looked at the princess, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, small in shape, after receiving the courtesy of everyone, he returned half of his head and went back, very respectful and supple - she was also the future queen mother, no one expected that it was Zhou Ke, the second prince she gave birth to, to become a great treasure.

Queen Fang is like a tiger girl than the eldest lady, she speaks concisely and to the point, and she will not lean on the back of the chair for so many hours. will not talk to people like the Empress Dowager Gu, the scene will often freeze, and every time at this time, Ying Yi will lean on the back of the chair behind Nanmu and pout, blowing on his blood-red nails.

It was easy to miss the noon, so Queen Fang raised her hand, left a few families to enjoy the meal, and the rest went back.

Most of the people who went back took a long breath in their hearts, and they didn't know that they couldn't see the sun tomorrow. Before stepping over the threshold to leave, but I couldn't help but envy the few families who could be left to eat, glanced at it, and comforted myself in my heart, leaving nothing more than a few eldest princesses, connected to the He family's Li family, who told people to take their relatives with them.
