Although there are not many dishes, the family of five eats with relish, and all the dishes are solved, and there is no leftovers left.
Of course, after the meal, Xiao Qiqi, under the guidance of Mama Qing, reviewed the court etiquette several times, practiced until he finally memorized everything, and passed the test when he tried to do it, so Xiao Qiqi stopped and went to bathe.
Soaking in a petal bath, soothing the muscles and bones, this night, Xiao Qiqi had a good night's sleep, and Su Jing didn't make a fuss about Xiao Qiqi because he was going to get up early tomorrow morning and enter the palace, just hugged her until the sound of screaming came from outside.
The two of them entered the palace today wearing a big red parent-child outfit, including Xingchen's child, who was also dressed in red, the style of the clothes was very simple and generous, except for the neckline, cuffs, and placket edges embroidered with gold silk dark lines, there was no other decoration, it didn't look complicated at all, even Xiao Qiqi wore a headdress on his bun, Xiao Qiqi only wore a jade hairpin and the plum blossom hairpin, and there was nothing else on his hand except for a jade ring.
Hanging a lotus blue bottom embroidered double happiness pattern Hangzhou satin sachet on the waist, with light yellow embroidered plum blossom crescent satin shoes, just like this, the husband and wife both joined hands with the child Xingchen to board the carriage and slowly rushed to the Nangong Gate.
Probably getting up too early, Xiao Qiqi was still a little dazed, yawning constantly.
"Qiqi, what's wrong? Haven't slept well yet? ”
"Maybe I woke up too early, I didn't get enough sleep, and I still want to sleep." Xiao Qiqi rubbed his eyes, still a little sleepy.
"Then you lean on me and sleep for a while, anyway, there will be a while before you get to Nangong Gate, and I'll call you later." Su Jing thoughtfully grabbed Xiao Qiqi's head and leaned on his shoulder.
"Well, close your eyes and sleep again."
"Well, listen to you, I'll sleep a little longer." Xiao Qiqi was not hypocritical, he closed his eyes directly, leaned on Su Jing's shoulder and continued to sleep.
Seeing that Xiao Qiqi closed his eyes and rested, Su Jing patted the other side of the shoulder instead. "Xingchen, get up so early, you must not have slept enough, just like your mother, you also rely on your father, sleep a little longer."
"Okay, thank you, Dad, then I'll sleep for a while." It's rare to have such a close relationship with his father, Xingchen, a child, doesn't refuse, he really leans on the other side of Su Jing, closes his eyes, and rests for a while.
The carriage passed slowly, the morning breeze blew gently, and Xiao Qiqi slept soundly after a while.
About half an hour later, the carriage slowly stopped, and Long Jiu's voice sounded outside. "Lord Wang, Nangong Gate has arrived."
"Okay, this king knows." As soon as Su Jing's voice fell, Xingchen opened his eyes and woke up. "Dad, I'll go down first, you wake up your mother."
"Okay, dad knows, you go down and wait for a while, and I'll wake up your mother and come down." It's just that Xiao Qiqi, who was leaning on his shoulder on the other side, didn't react yet, and as soon as Su Jing raised his hand, he had to gently shake Xiao Qiqi, who was asleep.
"Seventy-seven, wake up, wake up."
"Don't make noise, let me sleep a little longer, just a little longer." Xiao Qiqi, who was disturbed, pursed the corners of her mouth obviously dissatisfied, and grabbed the hand that was pushing her.
"But Qiqi, you can't sleep anymore, be good, wake up, and when you return home, you can sleep as much as you want, and sleep as long as you want, okay?" Su Jing held Xiao Qiqi with one hand and gently pinched Xiao Qiqi's nose with the other.
"No, I still want to sleep now, you just let me sleep for a while, even if it's for a minute, don't bother me." Xiao Qiqi muttered and pulled Su Jing's hand away from her nose, rubbed Su Jing's shoulder, and continued to sleep.
"Qiqi, you really can't sleep anymore." Su Jing looked at the sleepy Xiao Qiqi helplessly, so she had to lower her head and kiss Xiao Qiqi, kissing her until she was out of breath, and kissing her to open her eyes.
"Su Jing, you make me sleep. Also, the child is around, how can you be so shameless, you are not ashamed. Xiao Qiqi raised his fist dissatisfied, beating his chest again and again, but he didn't have much strength, for Su Jing, it was like tickling.
"Qiqi, there's no way, no matter how I call you, I won't wake up, and I have to use this way to wake you up." Saying that, Su Jing helped Xiao Qiqi fix her hair bun and help her dress up again.
"Okay, good, don't be upset, Xingchen, this kid got off the carriage as soon as he woke up, and he didn't see anything at all, anyway, you can come back and continue to sleep, and sleep as long as you want, okay?"
"Well, that's all there is to it." Stretching his waist and sobering up for a while, Xiao Qiqi got out of the carriage with Su Jing.
As soon as he got out of the carriage, there was already a eunuch waiting at Nangong Gate, which was a small path waiting for the Queen Mother, he was very happy with the Queen Mother, his small mouth was sweeter, he was also clever in doing things, and he was very eye-catching, and the Queen Mother sent him over to meet Su Jing and Xiao Qiqi this time.
Not to mention, Xiao Luzi was very well prepared, and the soft sedan chair in the palace was arranged early, Su Jing sat in front of Xingchen, Xiao Qiqi sat in the back, Xiao Luzi led the way in front, and carried it all the way directly to the Empress Dowager of Cining Palace.
Xu is the Queen Mother is in a good mood today, she got up early to dress up, she originally drank at most half a bowl of porridge in the morning, but this morning she drank a whole bowl not to mention, and ate a soup bag, this is the Queen Mother's best appetite in the past six months, even the eldest princess who accompanied the Queen Mother to eat breakfast looked a little happy.
"Queen Mother, if your appetite is so good every day, I can rest assured of my daughter." Because in the past six months, the Queen Mother has lost her appetite, and she always doesn't eat a few bites when she eats, the eldest princess is very worried, looking for superb cooking skills all over the country, and I don't know how many cooks have been sent to the Queen Mother, but in the end, no cook has been done for a long time, and they have been sent out of the palace in about a month.
"Go, Mama Liu, this silver is given to the cook by the princess, I hope he will work harder in the future and strive to make food that the queen mother likes to eat."
"Yes, eldest princess." Mama Liu happened to go down here to give the cook silver, and over there, Xiao Luzi took Su Jing and Xiao Qiqi into Cining Palace.
At this time, the Queen Mother and the eldest princess had already cleaned their hands, wiped the corners of their mouths, and instructed the palace maids below to clean up, and then looked at Su Jing and Xiao Qiqi with a smile on their faces.
"See the Queen Mother." With Su Jing, Xiao Qiqi saluted with Xingchen's mother and son.
"Get up, this child should be Brother Chen, come, child, you come to the mourning family, let the mourning family take a good look at you." The Queen Mother beckoned to Xingchen, Su Jing glanced at Xingchen, and Xingchen immediately stepped forward and stood in front of the Queen Mother obediently, letting the Queen Mother and the eldest princess look up and down.
"Queen Mother, this child looks really similar to Brother Jing'er when he was a child, it's just carved out of a mold, it's so similar, even the expression is similar." The eldest princess looked like it, and hurriedly took off a jade pendant from her body and hung it on Xingchen's waist. "Well, this is a meeting gift from my aunt, I hope you like it."
"Thank you, auntie." Xingchen said politely.
"This kid looks really good, Brother Jing'er's daughter-in-law teaches well." The Queen Mother will naturally not be stingy, and as soon as she meets, she directly asks the people below to send a golden crown up, and the night pearl on the golden crown is shining. "This golden crown was worn by your grandfather when he was a child, and now it is just right for you."
"Thank you, Mother." Xingchen's demeanor is down-to-earth and generous, and he doesn't twist the little family.
"Good, good, good." Originally, in the eyes of the Queen Mother and the eldest princess, Xiao Qiqi's identity, even if she was a side concubine, it was too low, but she didn't expect Su Jing to give the position of the main concubine.
Now it seems that Su Jing should be for the sake of Xingchen's son, so he will give Xiao Qiqi such dignity, the so-called mother is expensive with her son, it is also a matter of course, with such an outstanding and excellent child, the queen mother and the eldest princess will no longer dislike Xiao Qiqi's low status or something.
"Qiqi, child, you also come here to mourn home." The Queen Mother also looked at Xiao Qiqi because of the stars. called her forward and gave her an excellent meeting gift, which was originally intended to be given as usual, but now she has changed her mind, and the meeting gift given to Xiao Qiqi by the Queen Mother and the eldest princess is much more valuable than previously planned.
The queen mother gave her the gold-inlaid jewels, half-winged butterfly hairpins and Chaoyang five phoenix beaded hairpins she wore when she was young, and the eldest princess gave a pair of crystal clear jade bracelets.
"In the future, teach the three children in the house well, and take good care of Brother Jing'er, you know?"
"Got it, the Queen Mother, the eldest princess, I will do my best to take care of all the affairs in the house, please rest assured that the Queen Mother and the eldest princess." Xiao Qiqi responded neither humbly nor arrogantly, and his words and demeanor were also very appropriate, and the Queen Mother and the eldest princess glanced at each other, and both nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, the palace maid came to report. "Qi Qi Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager brought all the ladies over to greet the Empress Dowager."
"Let them in." Just introduced to them Brother Jing's daughter-in-law and Xingchen, the child, the Queen Mother nodded thoughtfully, and then ordered the three of Sujing's family to sit down on the side.
Soon after, the queen mother took all the concubines into the Cining Palace and saluted the queen mother. "See the Queen Mother."
"Get up." As soon as the Queen Mother raised her hand, the queen got up first, and then the concubines followed together.
Just got up, and the queen mother stepped forward and said: "I knew that the queen mother was so lively here, and the concubines and sisters should come over later to say goodbye." ”
