The Empress Dowager Ouyang is the sister of today's great Situ Ouyang Jue, who entered the palace at the age of thirteen and gave birth to her eldest son Zhao An at the age of sixteen.

After the two freshened up, they went to Yongning Palace.

Yongning Palace is located in the west of the middle palace, close to the Chengqian Palace, and the back is the dormitory of the concubines. Since the Empress Xiaohui of the Xi Dynasty, it has been the residence of the Queen Mother, so the Queen Mother is also called the West Palace.

"The grandson greets the imperial grandmother, and the imperial grandmother is blessed with golden peace."

After speaking, both husband and wife kowtowed three times on the ground.

The Empress Dowager said yes with a smile, took the tea offered by Chun Yu Nian, took a sip, and hurriedly asked Biyun beside her to help her up.

She took her to her side and sat down, looked at the person carefully, and said with a smile: "I heard your aunt and grandmother say that the girl is handsome." At first, I didn't believe it, I thought, Chun Yujia, that old thing, can still give birth to such a daughter? Only then did I know that your aunt didn't lie to me. ”

The so-called aunt and grandmother are the eldest princess who officiated at her ceremony, Ouyang Jue's wife Zhao, Ouyang and Chunyu will also marry Qin and Jin.

She lowered her head and smiled shyly, "Grandma praised it falsely." ”

Ouyang clapped her hand and turned to look at Zhao Huan, "What is the emperor doing standing there?" Sit down. ”

"My grandson thought that my grandmother had seen my granddaughter-in-law and forgot about my grandson." He smiled and sat on the other side.

"It's all stupid." As he spoke, he took off a ring from his ring finger and put it on Chun Yunian, "Your great-grandfather mother put it on for the mourning family back then, and now the mourning family also puts it on for you, and in the future, the affairs in this palace will be hard for you." ”

It was just an ordinary carved gold ring, and the workmanship was not exquisite, and it was even a little rough.

The ancestors of the Zhao family did not have any prominent officials, but it was not until the generation of Taizu Zhao Hao that he came out as a scholar and became a small county order, and it was this small county order that changed history. That ring, in the long history of the Zhao family's farming life, is probably the most valuable item.

Although it is not a valuable object, the significance is extraordinary, and it is probably a token of the queen, which is more valuable than the gold seal of the book.

Chun Yunian put on the ring, got up and knelt down in front of the emperor and the empress dowager, only to hear the queen mother say: "Since you are the queen, you should remember the responsibility of the middle palace in your words and deeds in the future, don't be jealous, don't be arrogant, don't be arrogant; Treat the emperor with sincerity, benevolence and compassion for the common people; The mother is the world, and the six palaces are exemplary. ”

Chun Yunian kowtowed and thanked: "My grandson respectfully follows my grandmother's teachings. ”

"Does the Emperor have anything else to say?" The Empress Dowager asked.

Zhao Huan got up with a smile and helped Chun Yu to read, "Can you write down what grandmother said?" ”

"Got it." She nodded obediently.

"Come here," Ouyang reached out to beckon her, took her hand and said, "You are young, if there is anything unclear about the affairs in the palace, let Biyun help you." ”

She turned her eyes to look at the maid called Biyun, about thirty years old, wearing a brown dress, and she looked more and more calm and gentle.

"Biyun greets the queen."

As soon as she said that, she immediately greeted Chun Yu Nian, and she thought to herself that she was a smart person. She nodded, turned around and thanked Ouyang.

Probably because the Empress Dowager really liked this granddaughter-in-law, she insisted on leaving the two for lunch before letting them go back.

"The gift that Gui Ning should give to your family has been prepared by the Shaofu, and someone will come to Chengqian Palace to report later, you can see if there is anything else you need to add."

Out of Yongning Palace, Zhao Huan mentioned the matter of returning to Ning again.

"Your Majesty bothered."

Zhao Huan patted her hand and didn't say anything more. She didn't have much to say to him, the two had only met twice, and she was so loud that she was silent when she said something, and she was secretly relieved to see that he was silent. Although she couldn't understand Zhao Huan, she also felt that there was an insurmountable gap between the two, because she really didn't believe it, she had only seen it twice, and she was He De, how could he make him cherish him so much, and he didn't dare to offend his father's face. Thinking about it, I feel that he is a person who is very deep in the city, and he needs to be cautious and cautious in the future.

Just thinking about it, the sedan chair stopped, and saw two rows of people kneeling in front of the sedan chair, led by a woman in a light green dress and said loudly: "The concubine has seen Your Majesty and Niangniang." ”

Zhao Huan has just entered the palace, and he is newly married, and the one who can call himself a concubine is probably his ex-wife Nie. To this day, she still remembers the first time she saw Zhao Huan, it was he who went to buy plums for her.

He asked the palace people to put down the sedan chair and personally help her up, "What are you doing when you don't come out of the palace to rest when it's cold?" ”

"It's a little boring to stay in the palace all day, I just wanted to go out for a walk, and I never wanted to collide with the honor guard of His Majesty and Niangniang." Nie Shi said softly, saying that he was sorry for Chun Yu Nian.

Chun Yunian was born in the countryside since she was a child, although her grandfather taught her the etiquette in the palace, and she also sent her aunt to teach her before entering the palace, but after all, she is a person who is used to being comfortable, and she still feels hypocritical and pretentious about Nie's second gift. But everyone said so, and if she didn't get off the sedan chair to say hello, it seemed that she was domineering and didn't know how to be polite.

"Shuyuan, where are these words?" She stepped forward and smiled, looking her up and down, "You are heavy, you can avoid this gift in the future." ”

The concubines of the Xi Dynasty are in order: Queen, Zhaoyi, Jieyu, Shuyuan, Contouring, Cairen, and Cainu. Among the four levels below the queen, there are two, four, six, and eight respectively, and there is no limit to the number of talented people and women, and Shuyuan is the position of the Nie family. This person who was supposed to be the queen was stirred up by his father, and he only dared to be a Shuyuan, which is indeed a great respect for himself, but I don't know what the previous dynasty scolded his father again.

"How can this work?" She said in horror.

"This palace will do what it says." She smiled and said, "What does Your Majesty think? ”

"In that case, you will follow the queen." Zhao Huan was happy to see the harmony of their wives and concubines.

Nie Shi heard this and wanted to salute and thank him, but was stopped by Chun Yunian, and she continued to greet: "Where is Shuyuan going?" ”

"I want to go to the Imperial Garden." Nie Shi smiled.

Hearing the three words of the Imperial Garden, Chun Yu Nian's heart sank, she originally planned to go to the Imperial Garden after the wedding period to find the secret passage that her grandfather said, but Nie's mention satisfied her curiosity in advance, and immediately said: "Can you mind going to the palace together?" ”

Nie Shi was stunned, he never expected her to say this, but she was the queen, how dare she brush her mind, so she had to smile and say, "How come?" ”

"What about Your Majesty? Do you want to go together? She asked Zhao Huan in a flash, but in fact, she wished he could say that the two of you could go.

But Zhao Huan, who was able to buy Huamei in person before, how could he not accompany him now?

The three of them swam in the lake, and he asked Nie how he was doing recently, and Nie replied softly one by one, not exceeding the courtesy. But they are a serious couple, and in addition, they naturally have more words, but they have nothing to say all the way.

The aunt who called Biyun was also afraid that Zhao Huan would snub her new master, so she deliberately mentioned: "Niangniang's body is weak, so it is not suitable to go through the wind, so let's go back early." ”

In order to marry his daughter to Zhao Huan in a bright and bright way, after welcoming Zhao Huan into Beijing, almost everyone said that he had a little daughter, who was weak since she was a child, and was raised in a deep boudoir, so that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military and even the harem knew that Chun Yunian was weak. Chun Yujia's words are half-true and half-false, and Chun Yunian is indeed thin, so everyone will take it seriously.

Biyun's voice is actually a reminder to Zhao Huan, the newlywed Yan'er, where is the reason to accompany his ex-wife to the lake? The queen is young, and if she wants to deal with the relationship with the concubine, she pretends to inherit the relationship with the Nie family, is the emperor also ignorant?

Zhao Huan heard this sound, and turned to look at Chun Yu Nian and said, "It's me who is careless, then go back." Shuyuan also went back early, don't catch a cold. ”

Nie Shi sent the emperor back to Luan, and the maid beside him was also dedicated, and hurriedly covered the cloak on his master, "The wind is blowing, master, let's go back too." ”

She whispered yes.

However, Chun Yu Nian was unwilling, although he was not in a hurry to find the secret passage, but since she mentioned it, she couldn't wait, and said to Nanxing in a blink of an eye: "My earrings seem to have been lost in the Imperial Garden, you go to find them with Banxia." ”

Zhao Huan turned his eyes to look at her, no, the earring in his left ear was indeed missing, "Do you need to send some more people to follow?" ”

She smiled, "No, I didn't go far today, just let the two of them go." ”

She said so, Zhao Huan didn't force it, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a column of Praetorian Guards coming, and when she saw the emperor's honor guard, she knelt down and saluted.

Chun Yunian saw Wang Chen Li Lian in the team, and his hanging heart settled down a lot, and his grandfather really sent the two best guards around him into the palace. She doesn't care whether Zhao Huan becomes the king or is a coward, and she can't change it if she cares, the only thing she hopes for is to get out of this cage.

"The two of them have been serving by your side since they were young?" It's talking about Nanxing and Banxia.

"Yes, the blue-clothed Nanxing, the pink-clothed Banxia, followed the concubine when he was about five or six years old, and the eldest concubine was one or two years old, and she was very good at taking care of people."

Zhao Huan responded, as if he remembered something, and said, "I remember that there are two flavors of medicinal herbs and call this name." ”

Chun Yunian smiled, "The concubine has been delicate since she was a child, and she was also lucky when she named the two of them." She was telling the truth about this, Xiao Zhan did have such a mind when she named the two of them.

"I never thought that Your Majesty would know medicinal herbs."

"It's just hearsay."

Hearing this, Chun Yu also smiled, "People say that a long illness becomes a good doctor, and I am afraid that the concubine will be able to become a monk halfway through these years." ”

Zhao Huan turned his eyes to look at her, and there was no sickness on his fair face, but the blood color was indeed worse than that of ordinary people. Before, he was also thinking, what kind of person will Chun Yujia's daughter be? Is it Bahahu? Or is it decent? Or they are shy and introverted due to illness. But I never thought it would be so gentle and sincere.

Although she doesn't talk much, she is not a silent and boring person, when she looks at herself and speaks, her eyes are full of broken starlight, and her childish face is full of smiles, how do you say a word? The smile is cute, this person's smile is not deep, but it is the kind that can be held. Such a man, he thought, would be his wife. But why is it Chun Yujia's daughter?

He subconsciously held her hand, and his tone was heavy and longing, "It's cold, you have to take care of it." ”

Chun Yunian's heart jumped, and it was false to say that he was not moved, but he really couldn't figure out why he was so sincere, didn't he go to the street to buy words for his original wife? Could it be that men like the new and hate the old?
