Chapter 12: Encounters
After the annual sacrificial ceremony, all the palace concubines and ladies went to the halls where the gods were enshrined, and the queen mother made an edict: all the palace concubines and ladies who are in Daming Temple today do not need to be too restrained today. In fact, the queen mother means that today is a big day, you all have one, and you don't have to kneel around after meeting.
Because the queen mother is old, she found a meditation room to stay, saying that it is to pray for blessings, and to put it bluntly, she is looking for a place to rest.
The queen is leading many concubines in the palace to walk around, although the queen mother can go around separately, but if the concubines in the palace do not have the queen's words, who dares to leave alone?
So Princess Sanssouci also obediently followed the middle of the procession, and it was not until her maid quietly came to her ear and said a word, that her face became a little anxious.
After a while, Wuwu sorted out his expression before walking to the queen's side with a smile, "Niangniang, Wuwu wants to go to Guanyin Niangniang to pray for her mother's blessing." ”
The queen looked at the delicate and watery princess in front of her with an unchanged face, and looked at her with a kind face: "Good boy, I heard a few days ago that your mother was in poor health, and the palace remembered that she was pregnant with an imperial heir, so let her recuperate." ”
"Thanks to our mother's compassion, even our emperor praised it." Concubine Liu on the side covered her mouth and said without leaving a trace.
"Poor mouth." The queen glanced at Concubine Liu, and then looked at Princess Sanssouci and said, "Good boy, go ahead, the palace is ready." ”
"Xie Niangniang." Princess Sanssouci leaned over the queen and left the place, but her face was not very good-looking, and her originally clever little face became a little hideous.
Who doesn't know that the mother concubine was killed by the little hooves of the Wang family's new entry into the palace, it is because the mother concubine is pregnant again, so these people are staring at Biyue Palace one by one.
Worry-free knows, it is the mother concubine who makes those people feel threatened, if the mother concubine gives birth to the prince this time, then the mother concubine is very likely to be among the fourth concubines.
The carefree footsteps just stepped into the main hall of Guanyin Niangniang, and then the figure turned, and the little man disappeared behind the main hall.
The clouds are light and the wind is light, although it is early spring, but there is still a trace of coolness in the wind.
The wind is blowing, and the tea is already cold.
Hao Zhen'er stood up and put on the white cloak brought by Xiao Tao, with a fluffy little collar around her neck, which made her round face particularly cute.
Xiao Tao was slightly stunned when she saw Hao Zhen'er's appearance, she only had a little bit of the cognition that Miss was still a ten-year-old child at this time, but it was really that Miss's aura was too strong before.
This little cloak is the favorite style of the young lady in the past, and it is cute to wear, but now the young lady puts on this small cloak and it seems that it can be melted at a glance, anyway, it is the kind of person who wants to hide the young lady and love it well.
"What's the problem?" Hao Zhen'er noticed Xiao Tao's strange eyes.
Xiao Tao hurriedly shook her head, "The slave just thinks that Miss looks better than before." ”
The corners of Hao Zhen'er's mouth twitched, she really didn't know that such a young child could see it, besides, this Bai Zhen deity had a small round face, except for a pair of eyes that were worth seeing, there was nothing special.
"Let's go, let's go take a look at the peach forest." Hao Zhen'er felt a little bored, but she didn't want to go back to deal with those noble ladies, so she had to go to the forest to stroll.
In fact, what Hao Zhen'er doesn't know is that although she has changed her body now, different souls naturally show different styles.
Xiao Tao respectfully followed Hao Zhen'er's side, and the rest of the little girls and grandmothers followed ten steps away, not far away.
The peach forest has not yet reached the flowering period at this moment, so I can only vaguely see that the branches have drawn new shoots, and the flower bones are still sleeping.
Walking forward step by step, the soil was stained on the embroidered shoes, and the delicate upper was also stained with mud, Hao Zhen'er looked down at the shoes that occupied the dirt and sighed, she frowned and stomped her feet on the spot, the snow-white cloak shook up and down with her movements.
Xiao Tao was stunned by Hao Zhen'er's sudden movements, which should be full of childlike movements, in her heart, Miss has always looked old, and there is almost no childish side, Miss just now is like the little fairy in the New Year's painting is alive, and she is a little angry.
After jumping a few times, Hao Zhen'er was depressed and found that the dirt on the upper of her shoes had not decreased, and she looked at Xiao Tao in distress and said, "How to get rid of this?" ”
Xiao Tao pursed her mouth and squatted in front of her young lady, took out the handkerchief in her arms, and said while wiping it: "Miss don't worry, just go out and change your shoes later, no one has been here for a long time, and the soft soil will naturally stain your shoes." ”
Hao Zhen'er kept looking at Xiao Tao who was squatting in front of her, and her eyes finally fell on Xiao Tao's handkerchief that was stained by the dirt, and something flashed quickly in her eyes.
She then looked left and right, judging from the pond that appeared in the pavilion just now, there should be a river near here that supplies water, "There should be a river in front, go over and take a look." ”
"Miss, be careful, it's not easy to walk." Xiao Tao stood up and helped Hao Zhen'er to prevent her small body from slipping.
The road is really difficult to walk, the closer you get to the direction of the river, the wetter the mud becomes, and the smell of mud comes out after you walk through it.
After walking for a while, I finally saw the stream, the water was crystal clear, and it was surrounded by dense aquatic plants.
"You go wash it." Hao Zhen'er said to Xiao Tao expressionlessly, and then turned her head around.
Xiao Tao was stunned for a moment, and then she understood, she looked at the little lady in front of her, who was a little embarrassed, and she whispered: "Miss stood still and didn't move, she fell carefully." ”
"Yes." Hao Zhen'er nodded, a cute little face was hidden in the fluffy scarf, but it was a serious look, which looked very cute.
Xiao Tao looked at the grandmother and maid who were not far away, and after making sure that there was no danger, she took the handkerchief and turned around and walked towards the stream.
When Xiao Tao walked away, Hao Zhen'er looked around boredly, and the surroundings seemed very quiet, the difference was that the peach trees here seemed to be more lush than the peach trees over there, and some of the flower bones had grown, and even a little pink in the green could be seen.
I just don't know if there will be flower bones that bloom in advance, Hao Zhen'er looked around with her eyes wide open, and walked slowly to the side.
One, two, three, I actually found a lot of peach blossoms that have bloomed, which is wrong.
I looked around, but I didn't find anything special, in my previous life, I heard that warm water can grow trees that bloom early, isn't the water here different?
She turned around and walked towards the stream on the side, and just took a step, her feet slipped, and with a plop, Hao Zhen'er fell to the ground with both hands. Not only that, but because of the hillside, she also rolled around, and her white cloak covered her small body like a snowball.
Hao Zhen'er fell to the spot with grief, and the little face that was stretched before became a bun face at the moment, and it was still a wrinkled bun.
"Miss, are you alright?" Xiao Tao saw Hao Zhen'er fall, and ran to her side in a panic and picked up the little man who was motionless on the ground.
She didn't speak, and after being helped up by Xiao Tao, she quickly glanced back, only to find that the maids and grandmothers who followed at this angle couldn't see what happened just now, and she was relieved.
Fortunately, only Xiao Tao saw it, and he was so embarrassed just now, not only did he fall, but he also rolled over.
I think she was also the filial piety queen mother of the Ming Kingdom in her previous life, but she actually fell so ugly?
"Miss?" Xiao Tao looked worriedly at Hao Zhen'er, who didn't speak.
"It's fine." Hao Zhen'er replied calmly, and then said, "You can get me another one." She didn't want the traces on her body to be seen, and she could see it at a glance, and Hao was embarrassed.
"Yes, miss." Xiao Tao instantly understood that the expression on her young lady's face was shy, and her mood suddenly lifted, is it a red rain today? I can actually see so many expressions from the young lady's body.
After Xiao Tao cleaned up the dirt marks on his clothes, they walked slowly from here to outside.
The peach forest was still silent, but a few people appeared in the place where they had just stayed, that is, where Hao Zhen'er had brushed, one was dressed in white, and the rest were dressed in black.
Watching the little girl who had just appeared here leave, the man in black looked at the master on the side and said, "Master, do you want it?" As he spoke, he made a motion to wipe his neck. No, just go as planned. The man in white looked indifferently at the place where Hao Zhen'er left, and the expression of the little girl falling down just now appeared in his mind again, and the unhappy bun face made him feel that it looked good.
"Find out whose little girl it is." After giving a series of orders, the white man turned and left.
