Chapter 407: Entering the Palace
Nie Shuyao took Yuqin and Shui Lan, Shi Shiran came to the door of the hall, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen Miss Huge for some days, and I feel that Miss Huge is still so beautiful like a flower." ”
Pang Yujuan had already combed the woman's hair in a bun, but she still loved red clothes, and she dressed up like a new daughter-in-law in a bright red dress. There hasn't been much change in his appearance, and just looking at his appearance, he seems to be much more restrained than before. I thought to myself, I'm afraid it won't be easy to trick her into spending some money again.
Nie Shuyao's compliment made Pang Yujuan very useful, and snorted: "That's!" Look at you, you're not bad, you seem to be a lot fatter than before. ”
"Huh!" Nie Shuyao was speechless, only smiled, she was laughing at me for being fat.
The two came to the hall and sat down as the guest of honor, and after both of them drank a sip of hot tea, Nie Shuyao said: "It's a pity that I couldn't attend Wu Shizi's wedding, I still had a big belly at that time." ”
Pang Yujuan said generously: "This is nothing, don't take it to heart." I'm going to envy you, you gave birth to a big fat boy in the second year of marriage, you are really blessed. ”
Nie Shuyao finally glanced at Pang Yujuan when she heard this, it seemed that she hadn't wasted the past two years, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Shizi will also have such a day." ”
The two of them said some painless gossip again, and Chunliu, who was standing beside Pang Yujuan, seemed to be a little impatient, and whispered in her ear.
Chunliu was most jealous of Nie Shuyao, but she didn't expect that in just a few years, she would become the hostess of the Houfu, and she was 108,000 miles away from her identity. Of course, the person 108,000 miles away was Nie Shuyao, and she was still spinning in place.
Pang Yujuan was reminded by Chunliu and said, "Mrs. Song hasn't gone to the palace to thank you after receiving the edict, right?" ”
Nie Shuyao frowned slightly, and said honestly: "It's true that I haven't gone yet, I was already pregnant with Liujia at that time, and Niangniang Kai gave me the grace to let me raise the baby at home with peace of mind." However, it's time to go to thank you after this confinement. ”
Pang Yujuan nodded and said, "I have to thank you for this kindness." I've only been sealed for a few days, so why don't we go into the palace together to thank you? Don't worry, I've been to the palace many times, and you can't go wrong with me. ”
Her expression was so unbeaten, Nie Shuyao finally understood the purpose of this woman's coming here, that is, to show off. However, Nie Shuyao is not afraid of her showing off, she is worried about entering the palace, and she can't ask for someone to be a shield.
So Nie Shuyao smiled and said, "Okay, thank you so much, Mrs. Shizi." This is the first time I've entered the palace, and I still need a lot of advice from Mrs. Shizi. ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Pang Yujuan got the compliment she wanted and responded with a smile.
Two days later, they handed the queen a fold and waited for the summons.
During the few days of waiting, Mrs. Song also handed over the fold, because Nie Shuyao was not at ease when she entered the palace for the first time, and wanted to accompany her.
Old Madam Song carefully instructed her every word and deed when she entered the palace, and Qinglian was very familiar with these etiquettes, so she stayed in Houfu.
Ten days later, instructions came from the palace to let Nie Shuyao enter the palace early tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow is also a big morning day in January, which is the most lively day in January, and Beijing officials above the fourth grade can go to the court station to work.
Song Yunfei, the idle waiter, was also going to go to the court, although he was just standing on duty, but he decided to dedicate that piece of yellow dragon jade to Emperor Zhengde today.
So, the family of three all decided to enter the palace on this day.
Outside the palace gate, Pang Yujuan looked at their family of three, and her face immediately drooped, "Shu Yao, what do you mean by this?" ”
Nie Shuyao said with a smile: "Mrs. Shizi came really early, today is the big day, and Hou Ye has something to do, so he went to court." Mother is also coming to thank you, so she came with Shu Yao. ”
"Hmph, let's go." Pang Yujuan turned around and handed the sign to the palace people.
The three of them separated outside the palace gate, Song Yunfei was going to Taihe Palace, and Nie Shuyao and the others were going to Kunning Palace. Although this Xia Empress is not favored, she is always the queen of the main palace, and the noblewoman's edict is still granted in her name.
The walls in the palace are very tall, and some of the roads are three or two steps away from the people on duty, either guards or palace maids and eunuchs. Although the scenery is not bad, Nie Shuyao didn't dare to look east and west, and followed the leading grandmother to Kunning Palace in a proper manner.
Kunning Palace is the main palace, built very atmospheric and decent, highlighting the mystery of ancient architecture everywhere. Walking into the main hall, there was already a palace beauty wearing a purple and red robe sitting on a high place.
Obviously, it must be Queen Xia who can dress like this and sit in that position, Nie Shuyao just glanced at it, and was pulled by Old Madam Song to give her a big salute.
As soon as they knelt down, Pang Yujuan also had to salute.
After the ceremony, Queen Xia said: "Get up quickly, give a seat!" ”
With an order, the little palace maid brought the brocade stool, and the three of them hurriedly said, "Don't dare." ”
"Old Mrs. Song is old and deserves a seat. The two newcomers came to me for the first time, how could they not have a seat, sit down. Empress Xia said gently.
Her voice is crisp and kind, which matches her looks very well, and belongs to the type with a virtuous lady in the atmosphere.
Nie Shuyao glanced up slightly, and felt that she was not very beautiful, but she was extremely attractive, and she was rich and graceful. It is the face of the mother in the world.
Subsequently, Mrs. Song said some words of thanks on behalf of Nie Shuyao, and Nie Shuyao was a junior, so it was good to stay quietly by Mrs. Song's side.
But Pang Yujuan was different, glancing towards the door of the main hall from time to time, as if she was waiting for someone. Queen Xia was a little dissatisfied between her eyebrows, but she didn't show it.
Until a little palace maid came in from outside, she knelt down and replied: "Yu Niangniang, Concubine Pang sent someone to pick up Mrs. Hou Shizi in Wuzhong." ”
Empress Xia's face sank slightly, and she looked at Pang Yujuan, who was proud, and said, "You take Mrs. Wu Zhonghou Shizi to Chengqian Palace." ”
After Pang Yujuan got up to return the salute, she swaggered and followed the little palace maid.
Seeing this scene in the eyes of Nie Shuyao and Old Madam Song, they hurriedly lowered their heads, looked at their noses and noses, and pretended not to see it.
However, Nie Shuyao felt the grievances of Queen Xia, presumably that Pang Guifei was a beautiful woman. And the queen's background is not good, the mother family basically can't help, but she is a fool and a cripple when she gives birth to two sons. It's so bleak!
Just when Queen Xia was sighing alone and the hall was depressed, the anxious voice of a seven or eight-year-old child came.
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, go and see the royal brother, he, he ......."
Soon the boy ran in from outside, and the palace maids and the little eunuchs behind him hurriedly followed, for fear that he would fall.
Nie Shuyao's attention was also attracted by this child, and when she looked up, she saw that it was a very beautiful little boy, wearing a royal gorgeous robe, but he was limping when he ran. She thought, this is the lame prince of Queen Xia! R1152
