Chapter 69: Mourning for the Family (2nd Watch)
Lin Aqi raised his head, only to find that the room that was unusually quiet was actually full of warblers and swallows!
This is the hundred flowers blooming in the harem, a hundred women competing for one person, and a hundred palaces winning the first place?
Lin Aqi was immersed in his brain for a while, and quickly came back to his senses, raised a smile and followed Yun Qi back: "Yes." β
The two of them sat on the small pestle closest to the Empress Dowager in turn, although it was only a small pestle, but this was a more noble rank than the other women in the hall.
It's all said in the book, whoever is closest to the lord will be more appreciated by the lord.
Lin Aqi smiled at the Empress Dowager again, wasn't she talking about herself? Roar, roar, roar.
"You're Lin Archie?"
The Empress Dowager is well maintained, and if she doesn't look closely, she won't find obvious wrinkles, but I'm afraid that she will stand with the dynasty, and no one will be older than anyone.
"Back to the Empress Dowager, the people's daughter is exact."
The Empress Dowager nodded, this child spoke in a loud voice, his posture and movements were neither humble nor arrogant, and he was not nervous and panicked when he came to him, he was really a very good child.
Yunqi's status is really not needed for a girl with a higher lintel to support it. Too much weight is easy to arouse suspicion, there is no emperor who is not suspicious, and the empress dowager naturally does not want to let Yun Qiluo end up being suspicious.
But if it is too small, it is easy to be looked down upon.
But she is the one who understands her grandson's mind the most, if Yunqi really likes it, it is not impossible to let this woman be with him, but whether she is a concubine or not remains to be considered.
The innocent and innocent Lin Aqi didn't know what the kind Empress Dowager in front of her really thought, and only regarded her as Yunqi's grandmother, and she was really much kinder.
"Look at the tea." The Empress Dowager instructed, and immediately someone from the palace served crispy tea.
Lin Aqi saw the crisp tea that was exactly the same as that in the Ming Palace, and he was so happy that he almost laughed.
Cough......
She secretly glanced at the face of the Empress Dowager, who was also looking at her.
is worthy of being a grandmother, and Yunqi's preferences are the same.
"Thank you, mother."
"You're welcome, how about a quick taste?"
Lin Aqi picked it up and sniffed it gently, then raised his little face and said to the Queen Mother: "The people don't need to taste it." β
The concubines in the hall all changed their faces slightly.
The Empress Dowager was also stunned: "Why? β
Lin Aqi took a sip seriously: "The folk girl doesn't need to taste it to know that this is a high-grade crispy tea, exactly the same as the one in the prince's mansion, so it must be because your ancestors and grandchildren are harmonious and harmonious that they will have such similar preferences." β
The corners of the concubines' mouths twitched, and they retracted their gaze slightly, this is really a mouth that can be photographed well.
Who doesn't know that the Empress Dowager loves Yunqi's grandson the most?
Yun Qi lowered his eyes to hide his smile, but the Empress Dowager caught the whole thing, this crispy tea was what she heard about Yun Qi returning to Beijing, and specially ordered someone to send it to the Ming Wang's Mansion early for him to taste, which one Ming Wang also liked?
This little girl is really good at picking good things to say, firstly, it seems that the grandparents and grandchildren have a good relationship, and secondly, they are full of Yunqi's heart, and they all share themselves with Tongxi's crispy tea to her.
That's smart.
The smile on the Empress Dowager's face was even worse.
Looking at this little girl's clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, it is not like the rumored rough hands and feet, on the contrary, her every move is quite aura, and she is a blessed child by looking at her face.
The Empress Dowager was even more satisfied.
Lin Aqi obediently tasted tea, she was really a little thirsty, a bag of candied fruit was really tired of panic, but it was not good to drink on the soft sedan chair, and when she came to the palace of the Empress Dowager, she didn't have to pay too much attention to it, right?
As for the Empress Dowager's satisfied smile, it doesn't matter what she thinks, she just likes herself anyway.
Yunqi didn't expect Lin Aqi to be so eloquent, it seems that he is deliberately scolded by himself on weekdays.
He suppressed his thoughts, put aside this stubble for the time being, and when he returned home, he had a chance to clean her up.
An imperial concubine ordered someone to hand a box to Lin Aqi: "This is the red gold ring bead nine-turn exquisite bracelet newly paid tribute by Jiangnan, and the concubine is not suitable for wearing such things when she is old, so it is better to give it to Miss Lin, which is in line with Miss Lin's bearing." β
Lin Aqi glanced at the princess who spoke, Yunqi didn't tell her that there were so many people, she didn't know any of them, and people gave her gifts for no reason, so it was better not to take them.
Lin Aqi got up and gave her a blessing: "Thank you for your kindness, but the prince said, the treasures of the world are worthy of real people, and the mother's appearance is so bright and dazzling, if the empress dowager is a national peony, then you are at least the delicate rose, how can you be humble and not wear such good jewelry?"
Yunqi raised an eyebrow: I didn't say it.
This damn girl!
Concubine Zhong pinched a handkerchief fiercely, but she didn't accept her own gift?
However, women like to be praised in public, the Queen Mother was very happy to hear it, the peony has always described the mother of the country in Yungu Country, this child also said that she is a peony, she is really not afraid that the queen will trouble her. But if she is really as delicate as a peony, then she is still very happy.
Rao is a complimented by people for many years, and when Princess Zhong heard her compare herself to a rose, she couldn't help but feel complacent in her heart, and even her anger disappeared a lot.
She held her hair in a bun with her fingers, and her posture was charming: "How can a concubine have a girl say that?" It's a shame. β
"Niangniang is so humble."
Women, don't you want better decency in front of everyone? Then she will give them this dignity.
Lin Archie smiled slightly and sat down again.
According to the Empress Dowager's schedule, she should be taking a nap in the afternoon at this time.
The concubines consciously retired, and Yunqi and Lin Aqi also got up, but Yunqi didn't move, so Lin Aqi also suppressed his curiosity and looked down at the ground pattern.
The palace is really extravagant, every inch is expensive. But looking at the exquisite embroidery of this carpet, it is all complicated and beautiful that she has never seen in the Ming Palace.
Only in the living room of the Queen Mother, there are all kinds of precious and interesting decorations, and any one of them is a priceless treasure.
Lin Aqi silently glanced at Yunqi beside him, this person is also the treasure in the heart of the Queen Mother.
When all the people finally dispersed, the Empress Dowager rubbed her forehead: "Sit down." β
Still sitting?
Lin Aqi looked at her and sat down honestly with Yunqi.
"Where is Miss Lin's house?"
Lin Aqi snorted in his heart, I don't believe that you haven't investigated before: "The people's girl's house is from Xixiang." β
The Empress Dowager obviously hadn't heard of it: "Which state capital is Xixiang?" β
"Nanzhou Mansion."
"Oh - when it comes to Nanzhou, the mourning family reminds me of a story."
Probably her old man often coaxed her grandchildren to tell stories, so Lin Archie also acted as a strange baby and listened carefully to her story.
Yunqi knew that the imperial grandmother was about to start again, so he simply pretended to have abdominal pain and changed his clothes, and left the place in a hurry.
Lin Aqi glanced at him inexplicably, but quickly came back to his senses and listened to the Empress Dowager.
It wasn't until an hour later that Lin Aqi was sleepy when he heard it, and the old man had no intention of resting.
That one is really clever, and it is these hours as soon as he goes to the hut...... She drank too much crisp tea, and she wanted to urinate for a long time, okay?
But the Empress Dowager was talking about the rise, holding Lin Aqi's little hand, and with a red face, she mentioned to her the heroic deeds of fighting bandits bravely.
Another half an hour passed, and Lin Archie was distracted frequently, and his face stiffened with a smile.
Finally, I heard a voice that rescued her: "The Empress Dowager, Princess Mingyan asks to see." β
The Empress Dowager was interrupted and had a very bad temper: "What is she doing here?" Don't you know that the mourning family is taking a break? β
Lin Aqi looked at her in surprise, your old man's way of taking a nap is really special.
"Yesβ"
The palace attendant quickly retreated, and Lin Aqi was dumbfounded, big brother, don't go!
"The Empress Dowager." Lin Archie decided to seize the opportunity and never miss the time! She really has to pee her pants if she doesn't go to the hut anymore.
"Huh?" She took a sip of tea and put down the teacup to breathe a sigh of relief.
"The folk girl has been disturbing the mother's lunch for a long time, the mother wants to rest, and the body is the most important, and the folk girl should also go back."
The Empress Dowager can't bear it, look at it! What a great granddaughter-in-law! Yunqi's stinky boy refused to listen to his own story, only this obedient girl could be so fascinated when he heard it, and he was so cute, and he echoed her from time to time......
And that Mingyan, if you don't come early or late, you have to disturb yourself to tell a story! What a disappointment!
No matter how dissatisfied Rao is heart was, she also used a cup of tea to praise Lin Aqi from beginning to end.
"Anyway, it was you who fought hard to save Jiang Feng and Cheng Enpei, and the mourning family took a fancy to your heart, so they naturally wanted to reward you. Someoneβ"
Soon, a group of palace attendants and maids stepped forward with a palace plate, dazzling and dazzling.
"The Empress Dowagerβ"
The old man smiled kindly and patted her hand: "You're welcome, take it all." β
She turned to everyone again: "Send all the things to the Ming Palace, these are Miss Lin's, Ah Qi can't touch that kid." β
Hide to the side and watch the lively clouds rise: ......
Grandmother doesn't love me anymore.
It was sent to his house, but it was not his. On the way home, Yunqi was very unhappy.
Lin Archie solved the major events in his life, and at the moment he was paralyzed in the car happily and comfortably.
"The Empress Dowager is really good! How generous! β
Yun Qi looked at her sullenly: "Am I not generous?" β
Lin Aqi nodded: "It's also generous, but it's not as generous as the Queen Mother anyway." β
Yun Qi choked: "How can I not be as generous as the imperial grandmother?" β
Lin Archie raised his eyes: "Lift the sedan curtain." β
"Heyβ" Yun Qi snapped his hand, "my leg hurts." β
I thought that she would talk back to him about candied fruit as she did when she came, but she didn't want her to change seats, so she reached out and grabbed one of his long legs and put it on her own leg, and gently kneaded it for him.
"For the sake of the Empress Dowager being so good to me, I will be generous to you."
Yun Qi's ears burned at a speed visible to the naked eye: "You, you, what are you doing?" β
"Moved to be moved, why are you still stammering?" Lin Aqi sneered, and his efforts were unabated.
Although I have to admit that she is very comfortable with her hands and legs, it is still embarrassing to put it on her like this.
He wanted to withdraw his legs, but the girl actually replied: "Don't move!" β
"I'll move!"
"Don't ...... Move"
Hearing that the two people in the car were coming again, the accompanying sedan mother began to have a headache again.
