What is the palace like?

Qiao Lixi said that she didn't see it clearly, and followed Mrs. Lu to walk around and around for nearly a quarter of an hour under the leadership of the little palace maid, and finally stopped in front of a towering palace.

Before Qiao Yixi could look up at the palace name on it, she was led into the door by Old Madam Lu.

"It's quiet." In the distance, I heard a kind voice, with the unique open-mindedness and tolerance of the elderly, and the dignity of the superior in the intimacy.

Mrs. Lu's maiden name is Jiang Jingran, and the only one who can call her that is the Queen Mother.

Qiao Lixi didn't dare to look up, followed behind Mrs. Lu, and said goodbye to the Queen Mother.

"Jingran, you are still like this, between you and me, why do you pay attention to this?"

"Etiquette should not be abolished." Mrs. Lu said.

The Queen Mother said angrily: "You are still so rigid, why didn't the mourning family see it before?" ”

A few words enlivened the atmosphere, as if the Queen Mother and Mrs. Lu were really good sisters.

The Queen Mother's gaze crossed Old Madam Lu, looked at the person beside her, and said with a smile: "This is Brother Zhen'er's little daughter-in-law?" ”

Old Madam Lu was proud in her heart, but she said modestly: "The Queen Mother, don't make fun of Qiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao is thin-skinned and can't stand your toss." ”

"Knowing that you are short and haven't entered the door yet, you will guard against me." The Queen Mother's self-proclaimed self-proclaimed in front of Mrs. Lu was very casual and kind.

"It's called Qiao Lixi, right?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, the people's daughter is Qiao Lixi."

"Come forward and let the mourners take a look."

Before Qiao Lixi could move, Old Madam Lu said again: "Don't scare the child. ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Old Madam Lu.

Qiao Lixi stepped forward, and the Queen Mother naturally took her hand and sat down beside her.

Looking at Qiao Lixi carefully, the Queen Mother had a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth.

When the smile on Qiao Yixi's face was almost unbearable, the Queen Mother said: "This kid is liked by looking at it." ”

"That's it, the courtier's eye is very picky."

"You just snort," the Queen Mother glanced at Mrs. Lu angrily, "I know that you have high vision and good fortune when you are young, and among our old sisters, you are the most beautiful." ”

"The queen mother's words will torment the courtiers, in terms of identity and status, the queen mother is the most noble, the emperor is filial to the queen mother, and the queen mother is the most blessed."

The Queen Mother sighed.

No one answered, and no one dared to answer.

The Queen Mother turned the topic to Qiao Yixi again, "Qiao Qiao is from Jincheng? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, the ancestral home of the people is Jincheng, Shuzhou."

"Jincheng is good, the mourning family hasn't been back for decades."

Huh?

The Queen Mother is from Jincheng?

Think about it too.

Mrs. Lu is from Shunan Zhuhai, before leaving the cabinet, Mrs. Lu and the Queen Mother are handkerchiefs, which means that the two often met when they were young, but they were not in the same place, and they were not far away.

"You're still smart," the Queen Mother took Qiao Lixi's hand, looked at Mrs. Lu and said, "Back then, you also had the opportunity to enter the palace, but you made a marriage contract with the Marquis of Zhenyuan early. ”

Mrs. Lu comforted: "Queen Mother, you, you are overthinking, and those who are blessed or not are destined, you only see the courtiers and the marquis love each other, but you don't see the courtiers frightened." The marquis stays at the border for one more day, and the hearts of the courtiers are carried for one day. Hou Ye is good to the courtiers, and the courtiers have also paid a lot, and the Hou Ye is at the border, and the courtiers have a lot of things to worry about in the back. Two people live a life, isn't that, everyone has a different division of labor, but they all hope that life can get better and better. It's just that the Hou Ye's duties are there, he is for everyone, and the courtiers are for the small family. ”

"So, I've always envied you, you have known what you want since you were a child, and you won't wronged yourself because of outsiders' opinions. If I had the same heart as you, I ......"

Over there, the Queen Mother was still "catching up", and Qiao Yixi, who was sitting next to her, frowned slightly.

The style of painting is wrong.

People who can sit firmly in the position of the queen mother should not be so weak and unconfident.

A person who can fight a bloody way in the harem from an unfavored concubine to a prince who was forgotten by the previous emperor should be strong, but the queen mother blindly shows weakness in front of them, what does this mean?

Her eyes rolled slightly, and Qiao Lixi suddenly figured it out.

The queen mother is indirectly telling Mrs. Lu that she is grateful and remembers her feelings, she has always envied Mrs. Lu, and now she is forced to do so, she can't interfere with the old emperor's targeting of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, she feels guilty and feels shameless to face her old friend.

tried to use this so-called past affection in exchange for Mrs. Lu's protection of her.

What protection?

If the Marquis of Zhenyuan wins, focus on the friendship between the two, and don't kill her.

If the old emperor wins, although she is friendly with Mrs. Lu, she is the queen mother, and she can't interfere with the old emperor's decision, and she can't interfere in the government, so I'm sorry.

Qiao Lixi bared her teeth.

Not only to be a female cousin, but also to set up an archway, is the Queen Mother thinking too beautiful?

was comforted by Mrs. Lu for a few words, and the Queen Mother's mood was relieved a little.

"When is the relationship between the two children set?"

"Twenty-eight next month." Old Madam Lu said with a smile.

"In such a hurry? Jojo hasn't had time yet. ”

I didn't understand what the Queen Mother meant, Mrs. Lu said: "Queen Mother, you also know Brother Zhen'er's temperament, and it was not easy to find someone who liked it so much that she had to marry, and the courtier's movements were a little slower, and the dead boy almost came to the door to propose marriage." After Sister Yuan left, Brother Zhen followed the courtiers, although the courtiers were not spoiling their children, they were a little favored by Brother Zhen. Brother Zhen'er's situation in the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, the Queen Mother, you also know that since the two children are interested, the courtiers have decided the matter of the two children early. Qiao Qiao's appearance, the queen mother also saw it, and the courtiers were afraid that the child would be abducted by others, so they simply married directly into the door, so that Brother Zhen had no worries, and the courtiers also had someone to accompany them. ”

"You're thinking far ahead." The Queen Mother teased.

Mrs. Lu said ostentatiously: "Queen Mother, you have also seen Qiao Qiao's appearance, the courtiers don't start first, and they don't know whose kid is cheaper, only when they marry into the door, the courtiers can feel at ease." ”

"You've always been so assertive. However, one thing you are right about, Qiaoqiao's appearance is really likable, now that he is young, he can't take his eyes off it if he doesn't grow up, if he waits another year or two, I'm afraid it won't be Brother Zhen'er's turn. ”

"So, it's better to strike first."

The two of them seem to talk casually, but they can be sharp everywhere.

Qiao Yixi pouted depressedly.

She really wasn't fit for this kind of scene.

The Queen Mother had finished saying what she wanted to hint at, and finally patted Qiao Yixi's hand, "It's a good boy, the mourning family likes it when you look at it, the mourning family and your grandmother are friends, you are her granddaughter-in-law, and you are the granddaughter-in-law of the mourning family." ”

Qiao Yixi hurriedly thanked her.

She didn't dare to climb her relatives.

Receiving the hint from the Queen Mother, the palace maid beside her handed over a mahogany box.

"Queen Mother, this can't be helped." Old Madam Lu seemed to be frightened and hurriedly stopped her.

The Queen Mother glared, "This is what I gave to Qiaoqiao, what's in the way of you." ”

"But ......"

"What, it's not my thing?"

Mrs. Lu couldn't cry or laugh, "The courtiers don't dare." ”

"I don't dare!" The Queen Mother deliberately said strongly, "What is the relationship between the two of us, you still tell me this, I really like Qiaoqiao, is it possible, I give things to the juniors, and I have to look at your face?" ”

In her words, the Queen Mother emphasized the relationship between the two all the time.

"That's it, Qiaoqiao, since it was given to you by the Queen Mother, you can accept it."

"The people's daughter thanked the Queen Mother." Qiao Lixi hurriedly knelt down.

A few people were still chatting, and a little eunuch came in tremblingly.

The Queen Mother swept away, "What's the matter?" ”

That's right, this is the majesty that the Queen Mother should have.

Qiao Yixi secretly poked and slandered in her heart.

"Empress Dowager, Concubine Cao and a few ladies ask to meet."

Cao Guifei?

Duanmuqing's mother?

Qiao Yixi thought back to what Gu Jinzhen told her about the situation in the palace.

Originally, the old emperor wanted to give Cao Guifei the title of "Imperial Concubine" to show her unique identity, but was stopped by Cao Guifei.

In Cao Guifei's own words - what she cares about is the old emperor's people, not these empty titles.

These words won the favor of the old emperor, and from all aspects, he finally "satisfied" Cao Guifei's wish, and did not want her to be "difficult" in the harem, so he pressed the holy decree.

In fact, the concubine is still the imperial concubine, for Cao Guifei, there is no difference, the phoenix seal is in her hand, and she covers the sky with one hand in the harem!

"Please come in."

No matter what the purpose of these people is, at least they will not embarrass her in front of the Queen Mother.

Qiao Yixi followed Mrs. Lu to get up.

Cao Guifei led everyone in.

Qiao Lixi hurriedly followed Mrs. Lu to bow.

"Get up."

Cao Guiren's voice is tactful, not as crisp as a girl's house, and has the charm unique to a mature woman.

"This is Jojo?" Cao Guifei was extremely enthusiastic, pulled Qiao Yixi to take a closer look, turned back to the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, this is the first time I have seen such a person in this palace, she is delicate, and she doesn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of scaring the beauty." ”

"No, this look, let alone a man, even the mourning family is reluctant to take their eyes off."

"Niangniang praised," Mrs. Lu said busily, "but she looks a little more decent, how can she compare with the nobles in the capital." ”

It's not a good thing to keep talking about Jojo's appearance.

Concubine Cao Guifei took Qiao Yixi's hand and looked at her more.

She knew about her son's abnormality some time ago, but she didn't take it to heart.

His son himself knows that in addition to focusing on political affairs all these years, how can he be distracted by the people and things around him?

Even if it is rumored that Chang Yulian is the future third princess, the son doesn't even have the heart to refute the rumors. Of course, there is also a son's calculation in the middle, otherwise, Chang Hong will not take it for granted.

There is only this exception for Qiao Lixi.

It's a pity.

Cao Guifei shook her head secretly.

The appearance is the best, but the status is too low, there is no background, and he can't be his son's help, and he can't help his son.
