Chapter 170: Tricked
Hearing what the female official said, Zhou Xiaofu and Zhou Xiaolan glanced at each other, and the two walked away with the palace maid expressionlessly.
Although Zhou Xiaofu was just walking quietly along the way, he left a trace of imprint after walking for a while, after all, this palace is too big, just from the palace gate to the queen mother's dormitory, it will take three kilometers, with the habits of the previous life, in the unfamiliar field, Zhou Xiaofu is used to leaving some imprints, and there are potential dangers in unfamiliar places.
Zhou Xiaofu silently remembered in her heart, walked four palace gates and finally arrived at the door of a large hall, there was a small rectangular sign hanging on the door of the pagoda-shaped palace, and the traditional gold characters read "Fenghe Palace", which is probably where the queen lives, otherwise someone there would dare to use the word phoenix.
As soon as she arrived at the gate of the hall, the female official who led the way stood still, turned her head and said coldly to the two of them: "Wait a minute, wait for me to report it." "And no more superfluous words.
And Zhou Xiaofu and Zhou Xiaolan saluted and agreed, and then stood quietly, and saw the female official who led the way into the main hall with the palace maid.
But no one came out to call them for a long time, so they kept standing so dryly, but fortunately the palace was surrounded by high walls, and the wind could not blow, and the weather was sunny on the first day of the new year, and it was noon, and the sun was shining, but it was not cold.
The two of them remained motionless, after two cups of tea after the time, Zhou Xiaofu's eyes glanced at Zhou Xiaolan lightly, and saw that she was also looking at herself, the two didn't say a word, and continued to stand quietly, what the hell is going on, aren't you looking for them, why do you have to hang them like this, is this for Ma Wei? No, after a country, what about it, do you need to give anything to the horse, just for the queen's name, it is already very powerful. There is no need to do this to their little girls, then there is something else.
After another cup of tea, I saw a palace maid come out of the main hall and explain to the palace maid guarding the door.
The palace maid immediately walked down the steps and looked at Zhou Xiaofu and Zhou Xiaolan lightly and said, "Come with me, the queen is calling." It doesn't explain why they were made to stand for so long.
With a movement, Zhou Xiaolan's numb leg froze as if it was stiff, and by inertia, the whole body suddenly rushed forward, and Zhou Xiaofu quickly reached out to support it when he saw this. With great strength, he supported Zhou Xiaolan with his arms and walked slowly for a few steps. Soon, the stiff Zhou Xiaolan eased up, raised his head and looked at Zhou Xiaofu gratefully.
Only then did the two of them separate and walk forward together, and these small situations were clearly seen by the female officer on the side of the main hall.
Originally, standing for half an hour would not have been numb in the legs. It's just that in this winter, Zhou Xiaolan was originally a daughter's physique, which was comparable to Zhou Xiaofu's physique, and he felt frozen all over his body after standing for a while. It's just that you can walk around freely in the palace, and you have to stand by willpower. The blood was not smooth, and the legs were stiff all of a sudden, but fortunately, Zhou Xiaofu held it, otherwise the whole person would lie straight down when he fell, and his whole face would be broken.
The two of them cautiously stepped over the high threshold. Walking through a side hall, passing through the side hall, Zhou Xiaofu only felt a solemn atmosphere. All the way was a smooth and smooth marble floor, and when I walked straight to the door of the room, I saw that there was a thick dark green carpet inside. When they arrived at the door, they slowed down, and both of them looked straight ahead, and did not look around, although Zhou Xiaofu scanned that the store was full of exquisite furnishings.
With the palace maid into the main hall together, the furnishings here are not as luxurious as the queen mother's bedroom just now, and it is not small, there is still a semi-circular phoenix couch, and there are some rosewood chairs around it, but there are already a few people seated.
The palace maid sang who it was.
Then after Zhou Xiaofu and Zhou Xiaolan entered, the two of them walked forward steadily and kowtowed, and just after the salute, they heard a female voice above say slowly and slowly: "Get up." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaofu and Zhou Xiaolan slowly stood up, and their heads were slowly raised, but they did not look around, but quietly looked ahead.
The queen nodded and said with satisfaction: "You are Zhou Yaozu's granddaughter?" ”
Zhou Xiaolan was originally older, and she could answer directly when the elders asked, so she leaned forward and replied steadily: "Hui Niangniang, yes." ”
In fact, it was because they were Zhou Yaozu's granddaughter that they were called, and the queen didn't know what was going on, and she was still confirming, but they knew that the queen just wanted to see how the two of them were treated, and she nodded quickly and with satisfaction.
Then he heard the voice and said, "Bring two chairs, let the two girls sit in front, and accompany the palace to talk." ”
Soon the palace maid moved two chairs and put them under the already sitting people on the phoenix couch, Zhou Xiaofu and Zhou Xiaolan walked over slowly, sitting one after the other, but they only sat on half of their buttocks, and their bodies were straight, after all, this is the queen's bedroom, even if anyone dares to sit down.
At this time, the queen took a picture scroll from the hand of the palace maid on the side, slowly opened the scroll with her fingers wearing exquisite armor, and then looked at it carefully before handing it to the palace maid on the side, and said with a faint smile on her face: "Who made this painting?" ”
Zhou Xiaofu knew that she was asking about the painting she did last time in Gongsun Mansion, so she immediately stood up and saluted and said, "Hui Niangniang, it was made by the courtiers." ”
Then she just stood upright, not squinting, calm and calm, as if the person she answered was just an ordinary elder, and there was no panic that this age should have, so much so that the queen was surprised, it seems that the nephew's vision is really unique.
The queen nodded and said, "Very good." ”
Then he rewarded some more things, asked the palace maid to take them to the side hall to have some food, and then asked people to send them back.
After arriving at the side hall, Zhou Xiaofu and Zhou Xiaolan exhaled and let them leave like this? Is it just to ask these questions? There's something wrong.
Although they thought so in their hearts, the two of them still didn't say anything, and simply ate a few bites of food, and they didn't dare to really use it up.
After eating, he went out of the queen's Fenghe Palace with the palace people, and the person who was supposed to send the reward said that he would prepare to follow.
At this time, the queen in the main hall nodded slowly to the female official on the side, and the female official immediately realized that she would go out quickly.
At this moment, the woman sitting under the phoenix couch was a little disgusted and said, "Niangniang, is this appropriate?" ”
And the queen didn't have a bit of royal nobility, but said mischievously: "Oh, sister-in-law." Is it just playing, see how these two little girls deal with it, this is your family's choice of daughter-in-law, don't you want to know if these two little girls are suitable? ”
The woman glanced at the queen's sister-in-law with a smile, and smiled with a doting face: "Niangniang is now a queen of a country, why is it still the same as before she left the cabinet, so fun-loving." Precognition. Alas. ”
The woman sighed, the sister-in-law was a little playful and lively before she got married. As a result, who would have thought that he would be married to the emperor who was still the crown prince at the time, and the prince quickly ascended the throne because the emperor was unwell, and his sister-in-law also became the mother of the country. Living in this palace, this is a place where ordinary people stay. There are many rules, and my sister-in-law is a lively and lively person, how can she be happy in this place where everything has to be calculated.
The queen sighed when she saw her sister-in-law. The mood was also a little heavy, but he still comforted: "Sister-in-law, it's been a few years." I'm all used to it, it's fine. Let's go to eat first, a few days ago, the emperor rewarded wild venison, and today I arranged for the imperial dining room to be salted, so let's taste it. ”
And this woman is Zhou Xiaofu and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gongsun family they have all seen, and the other two sitting below are the elders of the other rooms of the Gongsun family, and now the old lady of the Gongsun family was left in her palace by the queen mother because she is the eldest princess, but she has not had time to see her granddaughter.
Zhou Xiaofu and Zhou Xiaolan, who were walking with the palace maid here, suddenly felt a lot lighter, and when they walked through the second palace gate, they saw the palace maid who led the way in front of them suddenly bent over, and then covered her stomach and exhaled in pain, Zhou Xiaolan saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, and saw that the palace maid looked uncomfortable, and said a little embarrassed: "Can the two girls wait for a while, the maid's abdominal pain is terrible, and she wants to go to the toilet." ”
Zhou Xiaolan heard that he wanted to go to the toilet, but he felt that something was wrong, but he didn't answer, and turned his head to look at Zhou Xiaofu.
Zhou Xiaofu immediately said to the palace maid with understanding: "This sister, my sister and I also want to go to the toilet, why don't we go together." ”
The palace maid was a little surprised when she heard this, but she quickly recovered, and said with a shy face: "There are a lot of rules in the palace, especially this toilet has many categories, why don't the slaves go to the toilet where the next person goes and come back and then take the two girls to the toilet." After saying that, he immediately turned his head and left, without waiting for Zhou Xiaofu and them to answer.
Zhou Xiaolan glanced at Zhou Xiaofu in surprise, what was going on, and there was no one around, but Zhou Xiaofu scanned that someone was secretly watching them in the corner not far away, and the person was also very familiar.
Zhou Xiaofu whispered something to Zhou Xiaofu, and stood there quietly for a while, seeing that no one came, and soon Zhou Xiaofu led the way, and the two arrived at the first palace gate, and there was always a small tail behind, but the little tail didn't know what they were doing had already been seen by Zhou Xiaofu.
When someone arrived at the palace gate to investigate, someone immediately asked why there was no eunuch or servant girl who led the way, Zhou Xiaolan calmly informed the situation, and soon the eunuch in charge sent another little eunuch to guide them to the palace gate where they went out, and the eunuch from last time was already waiting at the palace gate.
led the two girls to the palace carriage, and Zhou Xiaofu and Zhou Xiaolan got into the carriage with a sigh of relief.
After getting in the car, the two still didn't speak, they looked at each other all the way, quietly, went straight to the Zhou Mansion, rewarded the eunuch who sent them back, and then asked the little guy at the door to go to the old lady's courtyard with things.
On the way, Zhou Xiaolan couldn't help but say: "Fourth sister, you are so powerful, the palace is so big, you still remember the road, you remember the road today, otherwise we can't always stand there." ”
Zhou Xiaofu nodded with a smile and said, "I don't know why, I always think that someone is deliberately manipulating us or tempting?" ”
Zhou Xiaolan doesn't know there, and he can't figure out the reason for no reason, it can't be the queen, right? It's also incredible.
And the queen and the falcon who were dining here had already received a report from the female official, and they were also surprised to hear the news, and the queen said to the falcon with an interesting face: "Sister-in-law, have you fallen in love with the one who will be your daughter-in-law?" These two girls are really interesting, but it's hard for them to remember the way back and forth when they first come to the palace? "I think she has been in the palace for five years, and she still can't figure out the way, who would think that a teenage girl who came to the palace for the first time can remember the way back and forth, and get to the place out of the palace without anyone leading the way, and the two of them are not worried.
Originally, she asked the palace maid to deliberately cool the two of them there, wanting to see how they could solve it after panicking? Is it to find someone, or to return the same way, but she never thought that the two girls would go directly to the exit, and listen to the female official, they returned the same way as when they entered the palace, and they did not take the wrong road or ask anyone, which is strange.
In fact, I came to them this time to see which girl was suitable for their Gongsun family, and I came here to show others, and it was so simple for their Gongsun family to choose a daughter-in-law, and it was even more rare to have the queen's intervention.
It's just that I didn't expect the two girls to be calm and atmospheric, and their looks are pretty good, it is said that it is really good to have such a table when they enter the palace for the first time, and it is usually a teenager who meets the queen for the first time, and she is not nervous, it is all fake, but the two of them are very good.
Especially when I heard the female official say, when I first waited outside for the audience, an older girl's legs were paralyzed, and the other young girl quickly supported to avoid the fall of her sister, which is not bad, there are many sisters of the same clan who really love each other, but the queen saw that most of them were for the family affairs of the Gongsun family, this opportunity many girls dreamed of, and faced their sisters at this time they were rivals, and the four girls did not have such a mentality at all, and they still reached out to help their cousin at the critical moment, and their character was also good.
Of course, the specific choice of which one to be the daughter-in-law is their grandson's family, she can only help from the side, let the emperor give a marriage or something, the rest she is unwilling to interfere, her marriage is not what she wants, the second generation of the emperor in order for his son to succeed to the throne can stand, they will marry their grandson's family, this is also a last resort, although she and the emperor have been respectful in the past few years after marriage, the emperor is also very face-saving in front of people, but this is not the married life she wants, her temperament is lively and lively, In this big bird cage, she often felt that she was about to be suffocated, and she was really afraid that if the bird lost its freedom, it would have no will to live.
