Chapter 5: Enter the palace to attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet

As soon as it was light, the winter jujube hurried to the ancestral hall with a long wooden tray, on which were placed two white and tender steamed buns and two delicate side dishes.

Thinking that his young lady knelt down all night with a hungry stomach, Dong Zao's eyebrows were furrowed, and he felt very sad.

She has been an orphan since she was a child, and was brought back to Wenfu by the master, and gave Miss a personal maid, and grew up eating and living with Miss since she was a child. Miss also treats her very well, like a sister, she is weak, often bullied, every time Miss stands out for her, now Miss suffers, she is naturally like empathy.

Thinking of this, Winter Jujube couldn't help but speed up his pace again.

Before I arrived at the ancestral hall, I saw the two people snuggling in the ancestral hall from a distance, and I felt a little more at ease.

Before the people approached, the vigilance left by the perennial battle made Su Xianyu open his eyes fiercely.

Dong Zao entered the ancestral hall and stepped forward to bow down, "Dong Zao, I've seen General Su Shao." ”

Su Xianyu bowed his head lightly in response. looked down and saw that the person in his arms had not woken up yet, so he called a few times, Wen Qingyao got up from Su Xianyu's arms with sleepy eyes, and before he could see his surroundings clearly, Su Xianyu had already withdrawn from the ancestral hall and turned over and walked out of the mansion wall.

"This Major General Su is really attentive to Miss, it seems that I am worried in vain." Dong Zao chuckled and put the long wooden tray in front of Wen Qingyao.

Wen Qingyao rubbed her hazy eyes, and it took her half a day to wake up from her sleep, and she saw that the person who came was a winter date, and then smiled lightly.

"You still say, why didn't you bring me some food last night?" Wen Qingyao's originally sweet voice was still a little hoarse because she had just woken up.

Dong Zao said with a look of grievance: "Miss, I was wronged, I had prepared a food box to send it to you last night, but who knew that I met the master halfway, and he didn't allow me to come over, let alone send you food." ”

In the past, when the lord punished the young lady, he said it casually, and it was over, but who knew that this time it was really harsh.

"My father is really ruthless, if it weren't for Su Xianyu, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see the sun in the near future." Wen Qingyao complained as she stuffed a mouthful of big white steamed buns into her mouth.

As soon as he heard this, Dong Zao hurriedly snorted three times in a row, "How can Miss say such unlucky words." ”

"Isn't it the truth, my father has been cautious and harsh on me recently."

"Miss, the master has always loved you the most, hurry back to the room after breakfast to copy the book, be well-behaved recently, presumably the master will not really lock you up for too long."

Wen Qingyao nodded helplessly, feeling that what Dong Zao said made some sense, according to the current situation, if he is disobedient, his father may really lock him up for a month, thinking about the delicious and fun on the long street, Wen Qingyao made up her mind to behave well in the next few days.

After breakfast, Wen Qingyao kept going back to her room, and after Dong Zao was ready to write and ink, she carefully studied the ink on one side.

Wen Qingyao looked at the dense words on the book, feeling that the sky was dark, and she had a headache when she mentioned the pen.

"Miss, you better write quickly, the master should come down in a while." Winter Jujube urged.

Wen Qingyao sighed while slowly copying the book on the paper, and the people who read the crooked words wanted to laugh.

After Wen Lanping finished the morning court, he changed into a blue brocade dress when he returned to his house and went to Wen Qingyao's courtyard.

Pushing the door in, he stepped into the room in all directions, and saw Wen Qingyao copying the book seriously, and nodded with satisfaction.

Wen Qingyao heard the sound, looked up and saw that it was her father, hurriedly put down the pen in her hand, and stepped forward to bow to Yingying, "Hello Daddy." ”

Wen Lanping stepped forward and pulled Wen Qingyao up, held her hand and said softly: "It will be the Queen Mother's birthday in a few days, and the emperor will hold a birthday banquet for the Queen Mother in the palace. ”

Wen Qingyao nodded obediently, "Qingyao remember, she will not embarrass her father." ”

Qing Yao was severely punished yesterday, and today she is much more obedient. The Queen Mother's birthday must be celebrated by the whole world, and she can also take this opportunity to beg her father, maybe her father will not be so angry, and there will be no need to be locked up for a month.

Wen Lanping saw that Qing Yao was obedient and well-behaved today, and most of the anger in her heart had disappeared, so she withdrew from the room after a few words.

In order to be free as soon as possible, Wen Qingyao has been really obedient these days, copying books in the room every day behind closed doors.

The days are moving forward slowly, and Wen Qingyao's long-awaited birthday of the Queen Mother is finally coming.

On this day, Dong Zao knocked on Wen Qingyao's door early and came in with a basin of water to freshen up for her.

In front of the makeup mirror, Wen Qingyao's slightly immature face was already beautiful and smart, with a pair of big black eyes like a pool of clear water. Although he is still young, he can already see what the beauty will look like in the future.

Dong Zao took a frost-colored tulle skirt and put it on for Wen Qingyao, "Miss, today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, the princes and princes will come, you have to restrain some of your temperament, don't get into trouble, then the lord should increase your punishment." ”

"Got it, how did you become as verbose as my father." Wen Qingyao responded impatiently, and tied a beautifully woven vermicelli belt, Dong Zao tied a beautiful knot for her, and then combed a good-looking bun for her, and obliquely inserted a butterfly play double-flower gilt silver hairpin inlaid with gems, and the hanging beads swayed gently with the shaking of the head, looking playful and cute.

After cleaning up, Wen Qingyao slowly walked to the front yard.

In the courtyard, Ade was busy preparing congratulatory gifts, Wen Wanxin was urging on the side, today she was wearing a light green gauze skirt, her bright eyes and bright teeth were particularly bright and moving, and she was also carefully dressed up.

Wen Wanxin saw Wen Qingyao who was coming slowly from a distance, and greeted him with a smile.

"Yo, why did my sister get up so early today?" The gentle tone was a little yin and yang.

Wen Qingyao stretched her waist and said slowly: "Today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and as the concubine of the Wen Mansion, I naturally can't lose my etiquette." Wen Qingyao was particularly loud when she said the word concubine, and her face was flamboyant and arrogant

Wen Wanxin has always been gentle and lovely in the eyes of everyone, but in the face of Wen Qingyao's ridicule, she naturally didn't dare to be angry.

"Yes, all the people who came today are people with heads and faces, and my sister can always be cautious in her words and deeds, don't let others see the jokes of our Wen Mansion."

"Don't bother my sister." After Wen Qingyao finished speaking, she turned her head to the winter dates beside her and said, "Winter dates, do you think that there is a flower butterfly in the courtyard today that is extraordinarily flowery, and it is very coquettish." ”

Dong Zao hid his face and smiled, and echoed casually: "Yes, yes, or such a big one." ”

Wen Qingyao pointed at Sang and scolded Huai and said Wen Wanxin, her face was red and white in anger, but she was helpless.

After a while, Wen Lanping walked out of the corridor wearing a purple straight jacket and regular obedience, and Feng Qin, who followed him, was also wearing a purple palace dress, his hair was tied up high, and he was wearing gilt flowers and beads, elegant and noble.

The two came to the front yard, did not stop, and went straight out of the house, Wen Qingyao and Wen Wanxin also hurriedly followed.

Ade had already prepared the carriage outside the palace gate.

The carriage came to the palace gate through the streets and alleys, and the palace maids had been waiting for a long time, and after welcoming Wen Qingyao, they went all the way to Ningqing Palace.

Ningqing Palace is the dormitory of the Empress Dowager Kangzheng, located in the southernmost part of the Fengluan Palace, the main hall of the palace, there is a big lake in it, because it resembles a crescent moon, it is called the crescent moon lake, it is the only palace with a large lake in the whole palace.

Wen Qingyao obediently followed behind her father, and it took a long time to come to Ningqing Palace, and from a distance, she saw that the shore of the Crescent Moon Lake was already crowded, and there was a gorgeous stage on the lake, and the golden carved dragon seat in the center was still empty, and the Empress Dowager Kangzheng and Emperor Fengjin had not yet arrived, and the banquet had not yet started.

Wen Qingyao sat on one side by herself, Wen Lanping chatted with her colleagues in the DPRK and China on the side, followed by a well-behaved and lovely Wen Wanxin, no matter when Wen Wanxin would not miss any opportunity to show herself, others said that if anyone married the second daughter of Mrs. Wen's family, it would be a blessing from the previous life, Wen Qingyao usually scoffed at this.

Wen Qingyao has never liked these false appearances, and has never pretended to be in front of others.

So this kind of banquet Wen Qingyao is the most boring, she looked around, Su Xianyu and Feng Zerui have not yet arrived, the banquet will not start for a while, bored, and decided to sneak away, go to Chunhe Palace to find Feng Zerui, and take a look at her aunt Wen Shufei by the way.
