It was a quaint wooden box, it looked a little old, and the paint on the box was almost half off.

Empress Dowager Yu opened the box and took out a bracelet and a hairpin from it, the bracelet was given to Ye Qingmei, and the hairpin was given to Ye Wenyan. Then he said to Mu Qianqiu: "There are juniors, Qianqiu, I won't give it to you." These two things are not valuable objects, but they were brought from my mother's house before I entered the palace, and they are considered dowries. ”

As she spoke, she forgot the self-proclaimed "mourning family", "My mother's family is not a wealthy family, so this dowry box was saved from my mother's youth, and it was saved until I got married." The jewelry in it is a little outdated, you little girls don't need to wear it, just keep it. In the future, if I get something else good, I will definitely have someone send it to you. ”

Ye Qingmei was a little confused, and he didn't know if he should take this bracelet. At night, Wen Yan generously took the hairpin, and then leaned over, "Thank you for the beauty of the Queen Mother, although it is an old thing, it is not outdated, and there is a retro beauty." ”

Seeing that her sister took it, Ye Qingmei also took it. But she understands the rules better than Ye Wenyan, and knows that she has to kneel down to thank her for receiving the queen mother's reward.

So he was about to kneel down for the Empress Dowager Yu, but was framed up by Congwen, "Miss, don't make a big salute, the Empress Dowager didn't treat you as an outsider, if you can come and go often in the future, but it will make the mother happy more than kneeling many times." ”

Ye Qingmei had no choice but to stand and thank you, thank you and thank you.

Finally out of Changxin Palace, a little palace maid led the way for them and went to the Phoenix Yufei Palace. Empress Dowager Yu kept sending people to the gate of the palace, and nodded politely at Mama Ji before leaving.

The little palace maid was very sensible, and she only walked far ahead, keeping a distance so that the people behind could see which way to go, but also not to hear what they were saying.

Ye Qingmei was still confused, and the bracelet he was holding in his hand was not worn and there was no place to put it, so he could only entangle endlessly.

Empress Dowager Yu's performance was really a little too enthusiastic, but Ye Qingmei didn't understand, but Mu Shi understood very well. She knew that all this was for the sake of Ye Wenyan's face, or rather......

Muhammad's gaze went in one direction, it was the highest point of the palace, and on that hill was built a palace, the highest place on the continent.

In other words, what Empress Dowager Yu is looking at is not the face of Ye Wenyan, but the face of that palace.

She said to Ye Qingmei: "Don't worry about what you shouldn't worry about, don't say that we don't have that life, even if we have, I don't want you to get involved." ”

Ye Qingmei was stunned, and after thinking for a while, she figured out what her mother meant by this, and couldn't help laughing.

"Mother is saying that the Queen Mother asked me if I have a wife, right? Mother rest assured, I don't have that much thought, not to mention that I have already promised others, and now I just have to wait until the mourning period is over to marry and live my own life. ”

Ye Wenyan listened to them, and remembered that the eldest sister was indeed engaged. Not only the eldest sister is engaged, but the eldest brother is also engaged.

It was only delayed by the funeral of my grandfather and father, and they were unwilling to get married within 100 days, so the marriage had to be postponed for another three years.

But these days, I haven't heard of any dealings between the other party and the night house, it is said that the children are in-laws, even if they have not yet married, the relationship should be very close, right? I don't know if she's thinking too much, or if something is wrong here. I want to ask, and then think about this big New Year, some things still have to wait.

At this moment, the maid who led the way in front suddenly stopped, stepped to the side, and knelt down and bowed.

The footsteps of the three Mu family also stopped, and they saw a sedan chair being carried by the palace people, and on the sedan chair sat a woman in palace clothes, in her early thirties, with a bright appearance, and a little similar to the Quan family between her eyebrows and eyes.

It's just that this palace dress is a plain costume, and it is very thorough, and it is more clean than the plain clothes worn during the night family funeral, except for the pattern under the buckle and the button is navy blue, and the rest of the place is a water of white, as if in mourning.

Mu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, although he only fell, he was still looked at by Ye Wenyan. Ye Qingmei also sighed softly, and then knelt down with her mother, and said in unison: "Courtier, courtier, I have seen the eldest princess, the eldest princess Wan'an." ”

When Mu knelt down, he pulled Ye Wenyan, but Ye Wenyan only studied why the person was still filial piety during the New Year.

Although the first emperor is also in the mourning period, the royal family has to focus on state affairs, even if it is not good to dress too brightly for the New Year, but you don't have to wear only plain clothes, you still have to take into account the atmosphere of the New Year.

Thinking about it like this, she didn't get to her knees in time, and it was too late to react.

I heard the eldest princess say: "The Ye family is really getting more and more promising, and now it has developed to the point that it doesn't kneel when it sees the palace, is this not taking the palace in your eyes, or not putting the Northern Qi royal family in your eyes?" ”

Ye Wenyan originally wanted to kneel, after all, she and this eldest princess had no grievances in the past and no enmity in the near future, and since she entered the township, she had to follow the customs, and the courtiers needed to kneel when they met the royal family, this is a rule that everyone obeys, and she doesn't need to worry too much about this kind of thing.

But the problem is that she is a rebellious person, if you are good, I am good, everyone is good, then whatever happens. But if she is like this eldest princess, she is mean and provocative, then she really can't do this kneeling salute.

So he stood upright, tilted his head slightly to look at the people sitting on the sedan chair, and after looking at it for a while, he saw the clues, and couldn't help but "huh": "Since you talk about the royal family of Northern Qi, the eldest princess should be the eldest princess of Northern Qi, but why doesn't the eldest princess of Northern Qi wear the palace clothes of Northern Qi?" Who is your filial piety for? ”

After all, if you live in the palace for half a month, you will also go down to Yanhua Mountain to walk around on weekdays. Although most of them are invisible, others can't see her, but she can see others.

She knew very well what the palace costume of Northern Qi looked like, so she could see at a glance that the eldest princess was a little different.

This is not the style of the Northern Qi palace costume, and the buckles of the Northern Qi palace costume are all obliquely down from the neckline to the armpits. But the clothes worn by the eldest princess were buttoned vertically down from the neckline, and after passing through four grains, there was a disc-like pattern attached to the center.

There are words on the pattern, but it is not the text of the Northern Qi Dynasty, it looks like an ancient totem, with obvious exotic customs.

"If the eldest princess is not guarding filial piety for the first emperor, then she is not qualified to connect herself with the Northern Qi royal family. You can say that I don't just take you in my eyes, but I still have a lot of respect for the Northern Qi royal family. ”

When she said this, the palace maid of Changxin Palace, who was in charge of guiding the way, couldn't help but raise her head slightly and glance over, only to say that the name of this witch of the fourth lady of the night is really worthy of her name, and she is so bold that she can really do it. I just don't know if the eldest princess will get angry, and how she will end up after she gets angry.

Ye Qingmei tugged at Ye Wenyan's skirt, and opened her mouth to persuade her: "Yan'er, don't say a word, kneel down, say hello to the eldest princess, and it will be over if you avoid it again." ”

"Passed?" The eldest princess heard this, and her anger rose suddenly, "How can you get by?" You tell Hongu, how can you get by? ”

As soon as this anger broke out, he didn't care about Ye Wenyan's previous words, he just looked at the three of her, and there was endless hatred in his eyes, as if he had a different hatred from the three of her, and he couldn't eat them alive.

Ye Wenyan was a little puzzled, thinking that this eldest princess should not be idle and had nothing to do, and suddenly lost her temper with them, and looked at this posture Nine times out of ten, there is a former enemy.

She didn't know about the previous hatred, so she didn't praise it, so she didn't choke anymore, only leaned over and said, "Ask the eldest princess." Then stand on the side and get out of the way.

Mu Shi and Ye Qingmei also moved to the side, but they didn't get up, they still knelt.

In fact, their original intention is to calm things down, today Chinese New Year's Eve, even the night Wen Yan is thinking, this is the first palace banquet after Quan Qingcheng became the emperor, if it can go smoothly, it will pass smoothly, some things can be endured, even if the autumn is settled, don't make trouble for the child on the night of the palace banquet.

But the eldest princess didn't follow, and she didn't leave the road, so she sat on the sedan chair and stared at Mu Shi, her body trembling.

Ye Wenyan frowned, and just wanted to speak, but suddenly the eldest princess smiled.

From anger to laughter, it turned very abruptly, it was already dark, and she was dressed in white and suddenly laughed out loud, which was really a bit infiltrating.

The laughter was loud and spread far away, she laughed and leaned forward and backwards, and her movements were too violent, and the palace people who carried the sedan chair shook under their feet, almost lifting her off the sedan chair.

The eldest princess didn't realize it, she just stretched out her hand and pointed at Mu Shi, and said in a sad voice: "Mu Qianqiu, this is called the good reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao!" Ten years ago, your man destroyed my home, and now he is dying in the prime of life, do you think this is retribution? It must be yes, he has done too many bad things in his life, and God can't allow him to live longer. Mu Qianqiu, you are now a widow like this palace, how is it, does it feel good to be a widow? ”

The eldest princess laughed as she spoke, "Do you want your husband?" Do you miss when he was alive, and the two of you spent the moon drinking and singing? Do you remember what he looked like? I can't remember what it smelled like on him, "Yes, you remember now, because your man has only been dead for two months, and you haven't forgotten it all." But what about two years later? What about ten years from now? After he died for ten years, can you still remember him? ”

The more the eldest princess spoke, the more excited she became, almost roaring, "Mu Qianqiu, God is fair, he has killed so many people, so God will take his life, and he will use his life to pay for the lives of those people!" You deserve to be a widow! He deserves the same fate as Hongu! But that's not all, the children of this palace are dead, but your children are still alive, it's not fair! This palace curses your family, sooner or later, one day you will die, die! Sooner or later, one day you will become like Hongu, losing your husband and children, and reincarnating every day in pain. Mu Qianqiu, none of you can die well! Come to a sticky end! ”
