On the birthday of the mother of the country, both internal and external women must enter the Fengzao Palace to congratulate.

Empress Zhang was dressed in a queen's dress and sat on the main hall. Although Jinghu knelt far away, when she raised her head, she still realized that the queen who was now sitting solemnly on the phoenix seat was really haggard.

Jing Hu was born late, and since she first met the queen, she has already passed the best years of a woman's life. Years of illness, as well as her husband's love for other women, quickly took time away from her.

And the death of her only daughter, Princess Zhenhui, also eroded her vitality little by little.

She should be about the same age as her mother, but although her mother is a side concubine, she has the favor of her father, her big brother, and her daughter Jinghu, who is often naughty but still obedient, and has not given birth to many gray hairs.

With a smile and a smile, you can vaguely see the brilliance of the year.

Jinghu has seen the portrait of Empress Yuanli, and of course she has seen the sister of Concubine Xu in the East Palace, the three concubines Xu, in fact, are the best born to her mother.

But under Queen Zhang's phoenix crown, the green silk is thin and white, Jinghu always feels that if she lowers her head, she is afraid that her cloud temples will no longer be able to bear the weight of the phoenix crown, and the phoenix crown inlaid with Dongzhu will immediately fall to the ground.

Today's beloved women will not grow old.

Jinghu glanced at the woman kneeling at the forefront of the inner woman, it was Bai Zhaoyi today.

Since the tenth year of Zhaoyong, Concubine Xu Xian and Concubine Qi Shu, who was deposed as a concubine, have passed away one after another, and there has been no new concubine today. The position of the fourth concubine was vacant, and for seven or eight years, no one could sit on it.

I don't know if Bai Zhaoyi, who was born as a singer and looks ordinary but has already favored the Sixth Palace, will have a chance to become the next Concubine Xu Xian.

There were many, many other women, each of them bright and fresh.

Such a thing is still too boring for a little girl of Jinghu's age after all.

As soon as the ceremony is over, the women who enter the palace have their own places to go, sit in the palace of the concubines who enter the palace at home, or go to see the queen mother.

And Jinghu usually goes to find Princess Zhenning at this time. Anyway, a sister-in-law accompanied her into the palace, and the princess didn't want her to serve.

Ke Mingbi is obedient and well-behaved in front of her mother, but in front of the princess of the county, when it comes to the edge of her tongue, she is afraid that she will not fall behind. So Jinghu didn't feel embarrassed.

"Jinghu."

Jinghu was just about to leave Fengzao Palace with Princess Zhenning, but was stopped.

When she looked back, it turned out to be Princess Zhenjing and the crown princess Jiang. She and Princess Zhenning greeted them and saluted them.

Princess Zhenjing is not very beautiful, but she is the same as Bai Zhaoyi, who is favored by today, and she has a relatively plain appearance. But after all, she has been held in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and she naturally has an awe-inspiring and inviolable nobility.

This is somewhat similar to her third brother Jing Xun.

Princess Zhenjing and her, both parents are relatives, so she has always been very polite to her.

Princess Zhenjing has always loved glamorous makeup, and she is wearing a palace dress embroidered with gold silk honey satin embroidered with silver and red peony. The peony flower inlaid with a hundred treasures on the bun swayed, shining in the sun.

Zhen Ning next to Jinghu is also a princess, and she looks much simpler. It's just a palace dress with moon-white satin embroidered bamboo patterns, and there is only a pair of golden hairpins with red gold carving lilies and lilacs on the bun.

Princess Zhenning's biological mother turned out to be just a noble person today, and she was only made a concubine after giving birth to her, and she was not too favored.

The crown princess smiled and helped them, and said to Jinghu: "Your mother is talking to the queen mother, I rarely see you, why don't you go to the East Palace to sit with your sister Zhenjing." ”

The princess of the county was against her mother, and against her father. The father and the prince are friendly, but she wants to talk to the adoptive mother of the third prince who is at odds with the prince.

also smiled and said to Princess Zhenning: "Zhenning may not have been seen for a long time, so I should come to the East Palace to walk around." If you have nothing to do, you might as well come to the spring and hall of the main palace to sit. ”

Jinghu hadn't seen the crown princess for a long time, her appearance was very good, she used to laugh less, and when she met her on the road, she felt like she had met a piece of ice.

I don't know what's wrong, but today it seems that it is not at all the same as before, smiling and talking to them, as if they have changed.

Jinghu and Princess Zhenning glanced at each other.

In all fairness, she wanted to go to the East Palace to have a look. On the way here, Ke Mingbi said that her brother often goes to the East Palace, maybe they can meet it today?

Anyway, if she went to sit in Zhenning's palace, she would never meet him. Moreover, there are only two of them today, and they are probably bored, so they can only sit and gossip and wait for the night palace banquet to begin.

Zhenning didn't seem to have much to do with Princess Zhenjing and the crown princess, and when she saw Princess Zhenjing look at her, she was slightly cramped at this time.

Jinghu was afraid that she would not be willing, and was hesitating, Zhen Ning smiled, "I haven't seen the imperial sister-in-law and the little nephew for a long time, and I don't dare to shirk it today, I want to go to the palace of the imperial sister-in-law to see the little nephew." ”

The crown princess smiled, and even Princess Zhenjing's brows relaxed.

Jinghu knew why she was upset. Although Princess Zhenning is not the same mother as her, she is also the princess of the Zhaoyong Dynasty. She didn't like the way she cowered.

But she didn't want to think about whether she could still have such confidence to be arrogant every day if she was to change places. However, for a person like Princess Zhenjing, who has hardly suffered any setbacks, it is difficult for her to empathize.

Anyway, Jinghu thinks that Zhenning is already quite good, since she was a child, she has hardly received any attention from her father, but she is usually very optimistic and cheerful.

She lived with her mother in a small temple, and was always at ease and content.

Jinghu didn't think about it anymore, took Zhen Ning's hand, and happily went to the direction of the East Palace first.

The East Palace is a little far away from the Fengzao Palace, Princess Zhenjing and the princess's sister-in-law are talking in the back, there is no sedan chair, and the two of them naturally can't.

Jinghu hasn't seen Zhenning for more than a month, she talks a lot on weekdays, and she has something to look forward to at this time, and she can't stop. Speaking of which, Princess Zhenning hated to cover her ears.

Jinghu wanted to joke with her even more when he saw it, so he circled around her, and trotted a few steps after Princess Zhenning. The sound of the two little girls giggling spread far away in the palace road.

She chased Princess Zhenning all the way to the East Palace, and when she walked to the back, Princess Zhenning's physical strength was not as good as her, standing on the palace road panting, Jinghu still teased her, turned around and walked backwards, leading her to chase her.

Around the corner, she was caught off guard and crashed directly into someone's arms. The smell of pine and cypress on his body was also mixed with a faint fragrance of Du Ruo's flowers, which she was most familiar with.
