Chapter 169: The Empress is invited

When I arrived at the second palace gate, I walked for a full three kilometers to the queen mother's bedroom, because before leaving, the old lady repeatedly stated that she could not look around after entering the palace, and could only walk quietly with her eyes ahead, and could not talk much, so although all the girls were curious, they followed the eunuch all the way.

Zhou Xiaofu is down, the other ladies in the house are all tired, and they go out on weekdays either by sedan chair or carriage, and all of them are paid, and Zhou Xiaolan looked at Zhou Xiaofu, who didn't even sweat a little, and suddenly decided that he would walk and exercise with the fourth sister at the beginning of spring, and he didn't say that his tired forehead was sweating after walking for as many miles as he walked, and his calves and stomach hurt.

And the most pitiful thing is the He family in the big house, because you can't take the maid with you when you enter the palace, so the He family helped the old lady to go together, and the old lady is fifty years old this year, not young, and she didn't walk long before she was tired and out of breath, this time is not early, and she followed the eunuch in front of her, and half of her body leaned on He's body, originally Zhou Xiaofu planned to help, but when I thought about He's recently, I didn't know how not to see myself and didn't say it, and I framed myself again and again, let's talk about the old lady, It's not like a grandmother loves her granddaughter, so it's better to be idle.

Walking along the way, I also looked at the scenery of the palace, in fact, there is nothing to see, in winter, this is these buildings but the atmosphere is magnificent, revealing a simple atmosphere.

Finally arrived at the small side hall where he was resting and waiting, the old lady sat down with a buttocks, and the body was also heavily dressed, and some of the headdresses on the head were loose, He couldn't take care of himself, so he hurriedly stepped forward to clean up for his mother-in-law, and found a small comb from the purse to clean up briefly, and then sat down to clean up for himself.

Other Ma and Ye Xinlan are also dressing up, helping their daughter tidy up by the way, Zhou Xiaofu has nothing to clean up, she is wearing very simple clothes today, she doesn't wear any expensive jewelry, she doesn't even wear a big coat made of fur, she wears a cloak made of lotus pink satin, originally she practiced combat physical arts all year round, and her body is relatively cold-resistant.

And Zhou Xiaofu noticed that the other women who came in were also sweating, and they were all tired and quickly sat down and cleaned up after a simple hello, Zhou Xiaofu sighed, the ladies at the gate of this mansion are pampered, and their bodies are not good, so they have only walked three kilometers, and they are tired like this.

Zhou Xiaolan saw that after she cleaned up, she quickly turned her head to look at Zhou Xiaofu, and also checked her headdress, after all, when she entered the palace to see the Queen Mother, it would be too rude if she was indecent, and she was relieved when she saw that she was all good.

Soon, the palace maids brought refreshments to the waiting ladies and ladies, and the old lady walked so many ways, and after beckoning He to give the palace maid a reward, she hurriedly picked up the tea and drank it, and her throat was really smoking.

Ma Shi drank tea and looked at his daughter with an unhappy face, really, Zhou Xiaofu is not taken care of if no one cares, why do you still look at where she dresses up inappropriately, really, what is she doing when she dresses up so well doesn't she steal the limelight of her own woman, Zhou Xiaolan frowned and looked at her shallow-eyed mother, a little weak, and I don't know why my father fell in love with my mother, this time they are all one family, and all the women who make a mistake are not good-looking, and they have a better relationship with the fourth sister, What's wrong with doing something for her.

Seeing her daughter frowning, Ma turned her head angrily and stopped looking, and Zhou Xiaofu also adapted to Ma's appearance.

At this time, Zhou Xiaofu had time to see the outfits of the girls in the house, Zhou Xiaoxi wore a cotton dress made of water-red cloud silk today, but what thickness of the mezzanine was appointed, and a large coat made of pure white fox skin was approved outside, with a set of ruby heads on the head, the appearance was simple and generous, and she already had a very good look, so she was pretending to be delicate and dignified.

And Zhou Xiaoxuan even inserted a valuable hosta on her head, and put her hair in an oblique bun, she was already petite, a little graceful, and this outfit looked a little delicate and cute.

Zhou Xiaohu didn't come with him today, I don't know the specific reason, but Zhou Xiaofu guessed that it was He's meaning, after all, Zhou Xiaohu was a concubine.

There are already seven or eight families of ladies sitting in the side hall here, which is just right, and they have begun to talk in a whisper, and the He family is also chatting with a lady sitting on the side, when he sees a tall and thin palace maid come in with a cold face and say loudly: "Hu Fang's, Zhou Ye's, Li Mao's are here." ”

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she quickly stood up, and the extremely female dependents of the Zhou family also lined up at one time, and the female dependents of the three teams went out to the main hall with the tall, thin and lonely palace maid.

Zhou Xiaofu glanced around with her eyes, hey, how is this the same as the exam, it's really tiring.

After walking for half a cup of tea, I saw that another palace maid also led three teams of people over, which would be on the main road, and I saw a palace maid in front of the main hall nodding.

I saw the palace maid who led the way in front of me and went in with them.

There are twenty steps on this step, slowly enter the main hall, the hall alone is enough to have three hundred square meters, there are a lot of chairs and machines on both sides of the innermost middle, and there is an old lady about fifty-seven or eighteen years old sitting in the middle of the top phoenix collapse, a pair of gorgeous clothes, golden, with a phoenix crown like full of jewels on her head, this is the queen mother.

There are two women sitting on the side, one is extremely charming, according to the previous teaching of Mama Liu, she looks like a concubine, and the right side also has a phoenix crown, but she does not look as luxurious as the queen mother.

The chairs below are already full of life women, and the front row looks at the clothes, and they are also life women of a higher grade.

With the palace maid's singing, everyone bowed together.

Immediately after that, the queen nodded slowly, and saw that the palace maid immediately let everyone get up, and led the people who had finished bowing to the back row to stand.

And there are already a lot of women and daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law in the back row, and the people who came to ask for peace were not qualified to sit in front of the queen mother, but because some of them are the female relatives of the minister of the humerus, the queen mother also attaches importance to these women in order to show her attention, so the people sitting in front of them are also specially given seats by the queen mother, and these people are also very face-saving.

And Mrs. Zhou is the wife of the third grade officer, so she quickly got a chair, but she sat in the back row, but this is not bad, everyone is standing, which shows that the emperor still appreciates Zhou Yaozu as an official.

The old lady sat down a little proudly, all these years, I only had my own seat three years ago, and I had been standing until the end.

Zhou Xiaofu looked at the front expressionlessly, Zhou Xiaobian and Zhou Xiaoxi were nervous, the first time they entered the palace, they saw so many people, especially when they met the Queen Mother just now, their legs were nervous, and they turned their heads to look at Zhou Xiaofu, who was very calm, both of them had their own thoughts, Zhou Xiaoxi was surprised, it stands to reason that the little girl asked the Queen Mother for the first time, she should be a little nervous or even scared in such a strict place, but Zhou Xiaofu looked expressionless, not nervous at all, and there was no mistake in the rules.

Zhou Xiaoxuan was a little resentful, his nervous legs were swinging, but this Zhou Xiaofu looked calm, this is simply infuriating, can it be said that people should cry nervously, I really don't understand the psychological state of some people.

Soon, many people came in to ask for peace, each team represented the official eunuchs in Kyoto, and some were simply asked by the Queen Mother, and some were like the ladies of the Zhou family who didn't ask and waited.

Soon the please An was over, and Zhou Xiaofu breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally over, please An or something is simply too tired.

Or according to the way just now, everyone followed the palace maids one after another to the side hall to rest for a while, and some people were left by the queen mother to eat, of course, this does not include the Zhou family, after all, although the third-grade officials are big officials, but it is not worth the queen mother of a country to maintain the relationship.

It's already noon, the old lady will be hungry, the palace maid brought a snack everyone ate and drank a little, this will go out of the palace is estimated to be a lot of people, so everyone simply ate a piece of dim sum and waited.

Soon the eunuch who was brought in came in and called the Zhou family and another family to prepare to go out, but saw a palace maid dressed as a female official with a little palace maid to the door of the side hall, and the female official asked with a cold expression: "Is Zhou Yaozu's family here?" ”

Of course, it would be rude for others to ask such a question, but this is a palace maid with rank, the old lady immediately stepped forward and saluted: "The courtier is Zhou Yaozu's family." ”

The female official's eyes lit up, but fortunately, she immediately said with a faint smile on her face: "Please Zhou Xiaofu and Zhou Xiaolan come out, the queen is invited." ”

When the old lady heard the queen call the second girl and the fourth girl, she showed a bewildered expression on her face, but when she saw a smile on the female official's face, she thought it was not a bad thing, and immediately turned her head to look at He Shi, who was already a little unhappy.

Seeing that He Shi quickly reacted, he took a small purse and handed it to the female official, "I also ask this female official to take care of the two nieces of the courtiers." ”

The female official took the purse, pinched it with her hand, and saw that there were no pimples in it, just a stack of paper items, thinking it was a silver ticket, so she immediately curled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "Don't worry, the queen is just interested in seeing the paintings of the two girls and wants to see them, you go back directly, and someone will be sent back to the palace to send them back." ”

The role of the silver money is really great, and he quickly told them the reason for going, which will make the old lady happy, it seems that the old lady called the sisters to come to the palace still has a role.

turned his head and explained to Zhou Xiaofu and Zhou Xiaolan kindly, and then went out of the palace with a smile and a smile with the little eunuch who was introduced.

And everyone didn't notice the resentment on Zhou Xiaoxi and Zhou Xiaoxuan's faces, and their eyes could breathe fire.
