Chapter 328: Harem Beauty
Xilingyue followed behind the eldest princess and Guo Yuma, slowly walked into the hall, swept her eyes, and saw more than a dozen women sitting in the hall. They were all young, all dignified, and they were all smiling at her.
And there are two women sitting on the Danqi, one is older and the other is young, it is the queen mother of the dynasty, Wang Shi, and the saint's wife Guo Guifei.
The Queen Mother is in her early fifties, with a round face, loving eyes, no wrinkles on her smooth forehead, and an extremely small black mole on the right side of her tall nose bridge. She combed her full bun, inserted a duck green dotted green phoenix and shook her steps, and her hair was filled with nine precious hair beads in a ring, like a little sparse star in the night sky, simple and graceful.
For today's meeting, the queen mother's dress is also a thought, she is wearing a light brown plain palace dress, embroidered with the same color of gilded phoenix dark lines, only in the excellent light can you see the low-key gold, it is the best Shu brocade last year Jinxiuzhuang tribute - Feifeng brocade.
When Xi Lingyue saw this dress at a glance, she was quite moved in her heart. When the Queen Mother saw her, she couldn't wait to wave at her:
"Quick, good boy, come and let me see!"
Although she is responsible for the relationship of her grandmother, after all, she is Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager, Xilingyue did not dare to step forward and turned her head to look at the eldest princess.
The eldest princess smiled and pointed at her: "This is your grandmother, don't go quickly!" ”
Only then did she lift her skirt and walk to the side of Danqi, and respectfully bowed to the Queen Mother and Guo Guifei: "Ling Yue has seen Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother, and she has seen the noble concubine. ”
The Queen Mother personally helped Xilingyue up, looked at her with tears, and nodded again and again: "Okay, that's good!" It's so lovely, it's really heaven's blessing! ”
Guo Guifei also echoed on the side: "It is indeed a show of wisdom!" I heard the county lord of Qizhou say that the preparation of the queen mother's birthday Zhai Yi is also the child's idea. ”
Xiling Yue took advantage of the situation to make a modest statement.
The Queen Mother pointed to Guo Guifei on the side and introduced to her: "Come on, come on, I've seen your aunt and aunt." ”
Xiling Yue looked at Guo Guifei according to her words, and saluted: "Aunt Guifei is good." ”
Guo Guifei is the daughter of Princess Shengping first, the sister of Guo Fei's mother, the sister-in-law of the eldest princess, and indeed the aunt of Xiling Yue. But since ancient times, the rule of the Han people is to follow the title of her husband's family, Guo Guifei is married to today's saint, Xilingyue can not call her "aunt", but call her "aunt".
Guo Guifei is only one year younger than Shengshang, but she looks at most twenty-five or sixteen, with a beautiful face, the corners of her mouth are naturally upturned, and she seems to be smiling if she doesn't smile. The only fly in the ointment is that her eyes are raised, and the tips of her eyes are closer to the moth eyebrows, which looks a little sharp and slightly fierce.
Coupled with her naturally smiling lips, there is a hint of a knife hidden in the smile. Xu is Guo Guifei herself realized this, she simply shaved all her eyebrows, and drew two soft curved eyebrows with Dai powder, which covered the fierce appearance between the eyebrows and eyes by five points.
As Xilingyue's aunt, Guo Guifei was really close to her, so she took her hand and sighed with a smile: "Look, this is a child of Peugeot, what a blessing and a big life!" The heart disease of the brother and sister-in-law was finally removed. ”
She said that tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes, and she hurriedly wiped it off with a handkerchief, picked up a brocade box on the side of the case, and said to the Queen Mother: "Don't think the queen mother is fast, you don't give the reward to you, but the daughter-in-law can't help it." ”
After that, she laughed first, and everyone in the audience laughed too. Guo Guifei handed over the brocade box in this laughter, and said softly to Xiling Yue: "The saint has made you the county lord, my aunt and uncle can't be left behind, well, this is a meeting gift." ”
Xilingyue hurriedly took the brocade box and thanked her: "Ling Yue thanked her aunt." ”
As soon as this "eldest aunt" came out, the atmosphere in the palace was immediately close, and the princesses also asked her to call her aunt, and they didn't dare to put up any more shelves. They rushed to praise her, some said she was beautiful, some said she was smart and dexterous, and some said that she was naturally noble...... In short, more than a dozen mouths were very in unison, praising her from head to toe.
Xilingyue met the princesses in a praising voice, and also received many meeting gifts. But as long as she thought of the scene in the Cui Palace, she couldn't get close to these princesses, and she only did kung fu on her face, and she was happy to see it.
Fortunately, the princesses were very knowledgeable, and there were no moths, and there were still a bunch of princes waiting to meet the queen mother in the front hall, so they quickly dispersed. It's just that the Queen Mother is really reluctant to Xilingyue, and she wants to hear the causes and consequences of her recognizing her ancestors and returning to her ancestors, so she has the intention to keep her in Penglai Hall for a few days.
The eldest princess naturally agreed. She originally wanted to stay here, but thinking that her husband and son had no one to take care of, she had to return to the eldest princess's mansion, and only set up a daily noon to accompany the queen mother to have dinner and talk.
In this way, Xilingyue stayed in Penglai Palace, and the eldest princess's family of three left Daming Palace, and after returning home, she ordered someone to pack her clothes and luggage and send them to the palace - it was Acui and Adan who came.
At that time, Xiling Yue had just had lunch with the Queen Mother, and Qin Se came in to report the incident. When the Queen Mother heard that it was the twin sisters who came to the palace to serve Xilingyue, she didn't ask more, but her eyes flashed slightly.
Acui and Adan were originally trained by the Queen Mother herself, and now that Li Chengxuan has sent people out, the Queen Mother will naturally have ideas. Xilingyue knew this, but the Queen Mother didn't ask much, so she naturally wouldn't take the initiative to talk about it, just thinking about finding a suitable opportunity to mention it in passing, and not to be too deliberate.
But apparently, she underestimated the Queen Mother's attitude towards this matter - after lunch, Li Chengxuan ended his secret conversation with the Son of Heaven and came to Penglai Hall to greet his biological mother, and then, he was also stayed in the palace.
After dinner that day, the Queen Mother called Shang Xilingyue and Li Chengxuan, accompanied by Qin Se, and the four of them went for a walk in the garden next to the Taiye Pond. Xiling Yue and Qin Se supported her left and right, Li Chengxuan was a step behind, and she turned her head slightly and asked, "Yue'er, how did you and your Uncle Fuwang meet?" I don't know this story yet! ”
"Huh? Didn't your mother tell you? Xiling Yue thought she had known for a long time.
The Queen Mother snorted lightly: "Your mother's heart is full of you, where can she speak so carefully, but taught me to scratch my heart and lungs for several days, just want to hear what an adventure." ”
"It's not an adventure. It's just that Yue'er's stepfather was falsely accused......"
"Queen Mother, Erchen remembered something." For some reason, Li Chengxuan suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted Xiling Yue's words.
The Queen Mother simply stopped to look at him, smiled lovingly and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
When Erchen and Yue'er met in Zhenhai, they doubted her background, so they brought her back to Chang'an. At that time, her identity was doubtful and she was seriously injured, so the retainers took the initiative to place her in the mansion and sent Atsui and Adan to take care of her. Later, Yue'er's identity was confirmed, and Erchen saw that she had no available people at hand, but she was used to using Acui and Adan, so she took the initiative and gave the two to her. When Li Chengxuan said this, he deliberately turned his head to look at Xilingyue, and his gaze was as amiable as an elder looking at a junior.
The Queen Mother squinted her eyes when she heard this, and she didn't say anything for a while, so she couldn't see how she was emotional.
