Chapter 175: The Queen Mother summons
Bai Suxin was led into the Shouchuan Palace by the henchman Sun Mama next to the Queen Mother.
When she walked to the garden of Shouchuan Palace, Empress Dowager Tong was accompanying Princess Hexi to kick the shuttlecock.
I haven't seen her for a year, but Princess Hexi has changed greatly.
Bai Suxin saw such a happy scene, but he couldn't bear to disturb it.
Mama Sun reminded in a low voice: "White girl, it's time to say hello to the Queen Mother." ”
Bai Suxin hurriedly saluted and said: "Courtier Bai Suxin, see the Queen Mother and Princess Hexi." ”
Empress Dowager Tong looked at Bai Suxin, perhaps because she was playing with her granddaughter at this time, and even her eyes were full of love when she looked at Bai Suxin.
"The White Girl is here." Empress Dowager Tong said softly.
Princess Hexi blinked her big eyes and looked at Bai Suxin for a while.
"Imperial grandmother, is this sister the mother of the palace, she is really good-looking." He Xi Palace Maid's voice was milky.
This made Bai Suxin think that more than half a year ago, Princess Hexi also praised her appearance.
"The princess was born with ice muscles and jade bones, and she will definitely be the most beautiful princess in this imperial city in the future, so why envy the courtiers." Bai Suxin said with a smile.
Princess Hexi nodded happily and threw a sweet smile at Bai Suxin.
This sister speaks so nicely, she likes it.
Empress Dowager Tong still had something to say because she summoned Bai Suxin, so she sent another confidant, Mama Wu, to leave the garden with Princess Hexi.
"Today, the mourning family summoned the white girl into the palace, but I heard that the kite made by the white girl is extremely beautiful. It happened that she liked it, so she wanted to ask the white girl to help make one. Empress Dowager Tong's voice was extremely soft, as if she was just talking to the girl next door, and there was no trace of the Empress Dowager.
This is indeed the appearance of the Empress Dowager Tong in Bai Suxin's memory.
"The courtiers have done some, I hope to make a satisfactory one for Princess Hexi." Bai Suxin said respectfully.
Mama Sun soon brought a few palace maids to the garden to make kite-making utensils, and Bai Suxin made kites for Princess Hexi in full view.
Making a kite is not very difficult for Bai Suxin, and what is even more terrifying at this time is that so many people are staring at her here.
She only knew a little about Princess Hexi's preferences, so she asked Empress Dowager Tong some things about Princess Hexi.
Empress Dowager Tong is not the kind of person who is on top, but she is willing to share interesting stories about Princess Hexi with others.
Bai Suxin heard the story that Princess Hexi had danced in the garden last year, which attracted a bow to fly by, so she decided to make the kite in the shape of a butterfly.
Seeing that the scattered materials gradually turned into lifelike butterflies in Bai Suxin's slender jade hands, Empress Dowager Tong couldn't help but praise: "The white girl is really ingenious. ”
"The Queen Mother praised it falsely, but I don't know if Princess Hexi likes it."
"Grandma Sun, go find the princess." The Queen Mother commanded.
Bai Suxin sat quietly and spent a quiet time with the Empress Dowager Tong.
They really didn't seem to have anything to say, and it seemed that the Queen Mother was deliberately testing her.
Such a silent time is the most tempering of people's hearts.
Bai Suxin's composure made Empress Dowager Tong have a good impression of her.
When Princess Hexi returned to the garden, she noticed the butterfly kite on the stone table at a glance.
Although she was only five years old at this time, she already had the dignity and self-control of a royal princess, and even if she loved it, she still asked inconspicuously: "Imperial grandmother, this kite is so beautiful." ”
Empress Dowager Tong gently stroked the top of Princess Hexi's head, and said softly: "Since Hexi likes it, then give it to you." ”
Princess Hexi still suppressed the excitement in her heart and confirmed: "Don't the imperial grandmother like it, the queen mother said that you can't take away what others like, it's not good." ”
Empress Dowager Tong smiled, very satisfied with her granddaughter's performance.
Just as I was about to say that the imperial grandmother was specially looking for someone to do it for you, Bai Suxin suddenly said: "The courtiers are brave, and then make a kite for the queen mother, which happens to soar in the nine heavens with Princess Hexi's." ”
Princess Hexi finally smiled, stroked her palm, and said, "Okay." ”
Empress Dowager Tong also nodded, "White girl, please." ”
With the butterfly kite he made as a base, Bai Suxin quickly made another kite.
The newly made kite is larger than the butterfly kite just now, and at first glance it looks like a butterfly, but if you look closely, it looks more like a phoenix.
Empress Dowager Tong was moved by the wonderful use of this seeming and non-likeness, and praised Bai Suxin: "It seems that the white girl is not just as simple as being able to make kites, such a person with a delicate heart, even if she marries into the royal family, it is not inherent." ”
Bai Suxin was suddenly stunned, she didn't expect Empress Dowager Tong to say such a thing.
Marrying into the royal family? Does Empress Dowager Tong plan to let her enter the palace, or give her a marriage to a certain clan child?
Thinking of the first time she saw Princess Hexi just now, she even asked Bai Suxin if she was the mother of the palace.
Isn't it her fate to be reborn in this life, that is, to enter the palace to be an inconspicuous concubine?
That's ridiculous, isn't it?
Even though his heart was already like a stormy wave, Bai Suxin still tried his best to stabilize his mentality and behaved modestly in front of the Empress Dowager Tong.
No matter what, she can't be rude here with the Queen Mother.
The flower nettle double is a lesson from the past.
Fortunately, for a period of time after that, the Empress Dowager Tong never said anything sensitive, but it was like simply summoning Bai Suxin into the palace to make kites.
"Imperial grandmother, Hexi is hungry." Princess Hexi blinked and looked at Empress Dowager Tong earnestly.
"What do you want to eat?" Empress Dowager Tong rubbed Princess Hexi's red cheeks and asked.
Princess Hexi pondered for a moment, and then said, "Hexi wants to drink lily white fungus porridge!" ”
Empress Dowager Tong hurriedly ordered: "Mama Wu, go down and prepare." ”
"Yes." Mama Wu hurriedly saluted and retreated.
Empress Dowager Tong glanced at Bai Suxin and said, "It's almost time for lunch, so Bai Girl might as well stay and eat together." ”
Even if the Empress Dowager Tong intended to stay, Bai Suxin didn't dare to stay.
Accompanying the Queen Mother and Princess Yan to lunch, the rules are really complicated.
is so trembling and walking on thin ice, I'm afraid she won't be able to eat a bite.
She'd better go back to the house and have a peaceful lunch.
"Thank you Empress Dowager, it's just that the courtiers are in a hurry to go out today, so I thought that there are still some things in the house that have not been explained. If the Queen Mother has no other instructions, the courtiers will go back first. Bai Suxin stood up and said respectfully.
Empress Dowager Tong's words to leave her for dinner meant what it meant, if she was really cheeky and stayed, it might really make Empress Dowager Tong dissatisfied.
Although if Empress Dowager Tong is unhappy, she should not be assigned to marriage.
But she can't take such a risk, she can't anger the Queen Mother for her own selfish interests.
Now that the eldest brother has lost Jin Wuwei's errand, the second brother will still be an official in the future.
She couldn't help but think about the rest of the Bai family.
Empress Dowager Tong looked at Bai Suxin with approval in her eyes and smiled, then turned her head and ordered, "Grandma Sun, send the white girl out of the palace." ”
