Chapter XXIII Introduction

The Queen Mother squeezed her little hand tightly and smiled in her ear: "There is an imperial grandmother, don't be afraid." ”

A warm current crossed Tong Yan's heart, and she gratefully threw a look at the Queen Mother and nodded.

She suddenly felt that maybe the Queen Mother was better than ordinary grandmothers.

Seeing the vast crowd approaching here, the people in the pavilion all stood up, not to mention all the brocade-clothed nobles sitting in front of the desk in the field.

Tong Yan's waist was straight, and Hua Rong had a slight smile, helping the Queen Mother to walk towards the pavilion step by step.

"The son greets the queen mother." The man in the yellow robe strode out of the pavilion with his head held high and saluted respectfully to the Queen Mother.

He has a round waist and a thick back, a wide face and a square mouth, a straight nose and cheeks, a pair of long eyebrows and a few words flying into the temples, smiling, looking very happy.

The woman in yellow clothes who was standing half a step behind him led a group of warblers and warblers Yanyan also saluted in unison and said, "The concubine welcomes the queen mother." ”

The people in the field all saluted in unison, and for a while, the sound seemed to go straight to the sky, resounding and curbing the clouds.

Tong Yan's heart was shocked.

The Queen Mother smiled and raised her hand, "No courtesy, no courtesy." ”

The crowd came from near and far, and Shane stood up.

"Zhaoyang has seen Your Majesty and all the mothers." Tong Yan smiled and saluted with her eyes down.

The emperor, the queen, and the concubines never thought that the queen mother would personally take this Zhaoyang county lord from the people, and they all looked at her with burning eyes, both novel and surprised.

"No courtesy." The emperor touched his beard with a smile, looked at her, his eyes lit up, and nodded, "She is worthy of being the daughter of the royal brother, she is really beautiful and beautiful." ”

Hearing this, the Queen Mother and the Queen Concubine both changed their faces together, and the Queen Mother frowned, coughed lightly and complained: "Your Majesty! ”

How could such words come out of the mouth of an elder who met for the first time, and Tong Yan was only twelve years old, and she was not yet in time, so she was really frivolous!

The queen hurriedly played the round and said with a smile: "Your Majesty was so happy to see her niece for a while, I don't know how to praise it, Zhaoyang is worthy of being the royal county lord, this all-round style, the appearance of the symbol, but there is the style of the queen mother." ”

Tong Yan carefully looked at the queen's eyes, to tell the truth, the queen's appearance is decent at best, very mediocre, if it is not the miss of the Xie family, I am afraid that it will not be her turn to be the queen anyway, even if it is a little reluctant to enter the palace as a concubine.

The Queen Mother listened to Queen Xie's words, and her face improved.

All the concubines also praised Zhaoyang, making Zhaoyang's face crimson and his head dizzy.

The emperor smiled, but he slandered in his heart, he also praised his niece for being good-looking, why am I indecent?

The concubines, the palace people, and the stars embraced the queen mother, the emperor, and the county lord of Zhaoyang on the jade steps and sat down.

Tong Yan sat next to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's case was side by side with the emperor, and on the left side of the emperor, she could see the entire field when she raised her eyes.

She's kind of sitting on pins and needles.

Several palace maids had beautiful manners and brought a few plates of fruits, all of which she had never seen.

The queen tilted her head with a smile and asked, "Zhaoyang often has this lychee to her liking, and it was just sent from the south, and it is very fresh." ”

Tong Yan smiled decently and nodded, "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”

However, although Tong Yan didn't know which one was a lychee, Qingzhi knew a lot, she picked up the hard red fruit in the white porcelain plate with a look of eyes, peeled off the shell, and handed it to Tong Yan.

Tong Yan glanced at it a few times, and directly took the shelled crystal white fruit in her mouth with Qingzhi's hand.

The Queen Mother asked curiously: "How is it, is it still to taste?" ”

The queen and the emperor also looked at her.

Eating a fruit has to be stared at, Tong Yan feels like a monkey playing on the street.

But the taste of this lychee is really novel, and it's not bad.

She blushed and nodded, "It's delicious, sweet and sour." ”

"That's good, eat more if you like, I remember that Yongwangfu also divided a basket, and when you leave, let Jiyu bring you another basket, only for you to eat." The Queen Mother looked at her with a smile, very loving.

"Zhaoyang likes to eat and tell Tongfu directly, and take it all with him when he leaves." The emperor then spoke, he winked at Tong Yan and pointed to the chamberlain beside him, "He is Tongfu, do you hear Tongfu?" ”

The waiter was chubby, very festive, and said with a hunched waist: "The slave obeys the order." ”

Tong Yan was flattered and saluted: "Thank you, Imperial Grandmother, thank you, Your Majesty." ”

The Queen Mother looked unpredictable, although she was still smiling, she looked at the emperor with some concern in her eyes.

After all, the pavilion was full of elders, and Tong Yan felt that she was really embarrassed here.

She looked around and found that the clothes on everyone's body were very similar, she glanced at Qingzhi, Qingzhi lowered her head knowingly, and Tong Yan quietly asked: "Why are the patterns on everyone's clothes the same?" ”

Qingzhi raised his eyes and looked at it, and said in a low voice: "County Lord, it's called Aihu Buzi Python Clothes, the prince and the princess also wear it, and the palace dependents and ministers will wear it on the Dragon Boat Festival, just like the colorful thread you wear on your hand, to drive away evil spirits and strengthen your body." ”

"Oh." Tong Yan nodded knowingly.

At this time, the young talents in the field have already led their horses.

Tong Yan craned her neck slightly and looked at it.

The Queen Mother looked at her, smiled and raised her hand to beckon a small chamberlain to come over, and whispered a few words to him.

The little chamberlain nodded again and again, and led the order to run outside the pavilion.

After a while, a girl in a pink and white dress came over from the side of the pavilion, she was about the same age as Tong Yan, with long eyes and thin eyebrows, a delicate nose, smiling lips, a goose egg face, fair skin, and delicate facial features.

The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother looked at her and walked over, and a smile of love and pride unconsciously appeared on their faces.

The girl's every move was poetic, she smiled lightly and saluted, and said politely: "Shuning greets the emperor's grandmother, father, aunt and all the mothers." ”

"Hurry up." The Queen Mother smiled and asked her to excuse herself, and then introduced Tong Yan: "This is the fourth child I told you, Shuning." She said to the fourth princess again: "This is Zhaoyang, the second daughter of your imperial uncle." ”

Tong Yan helped Qingzhi to stand up, pursed her lips and saluted with a smile: "Princess Shuning." ”

The fourth princess glanced at her with a smile, and also returned the courtesy, and said softly: "Lord Zhaoyang." ”

The two of them glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but purse their lips and laugh.

When the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother saw this scene, they both smiled from ear to ear, and the Queen Mother waved her hand, "Shuning, let's take Zhaoyang down to play, there are all elders here, and it's strange to be aggrieved, let's go." ”

"Yes." Shuning responded, came over and took Tong Yan's hand, pulled her away with a smile, and asked, "I don't know how you and my sisters will order their teeth, I am only thirteen years old now." ”

"I'm a year younger than my sister." Tong Yan replied.

The two of them went down the jade steps, and Shuning nodded, "My sister and I will introduce some noble girls." She pointed to the young ladies who had gathered a few steps away, "Sister doesn't have to be restrained, she will inevitably have to deal with these noble ladies in the future." ”

Tong Yan is indeed a little timid, although they are all little girls who have not left the cabinet, and they are not much different in age, but after all, it is the first time to meet, except for her own sisters, she has never come into contact with these young ladies of the princes and ministers, which is a big challenge for her.

Shuning smiled and patted her hand, "I'll pull you, don't be afraid, everything has me." ”

Like the Queen Mother, Tong Yan looked at her for a moment, and then nodded gratefully with a smile.

The nobles who were sitting in front of the desk and laughing and playing had already noticed Zhaoyang, and when they saw Princess Shuning approaching with her, they all stood up and saluted the two of them, only the girl in the middle was still sitting there safely, not moving.

Shu Ning and Zhao Yang naturally noticed the girl who was sitting upright. Shuning smiled and asked the nobles not to be polite, and then walked in front of the girl with Zhaoyang, "This is Princess Anle, my third emperor sister, two years older than you." ”

As if she hadn't heard, the third princess lowered her eyes and took a sip of the tea on the table.

Tong Yan was a little embarrassed, but she still saluted decently, "Princess Anle." ”

The third princess slowly put down the teacup and raised her eyes to look at Tong Yan, Xu didn't expect Tong Yan to be so beautiful, her pupils shrank, and she stared at Tong Yan for a while.

Seeing that the third princess had been staring at her, Tong Yan also mustered up her courage and looked at her unceremoniously.

An Le looks very beautiful, with moth eyebrows and mantis, picturesque eyebrows, somewhat similar to a concubine in the pavilion just now, bright and moving, I think that the palace concubine should be Jiang Shufei, it seems that the daughters of the Jiang family should be very beautiful, she suddenly remembered Miss Jiang San mentioned by the maids.

Realizing her gaffe, she gracefully helped the palace maid to stand up, and she was very tall.

"You're Zhaoyang?" She held her head high arrogantly and asked knowingly.

And Tong Yan's eyes have been attracted by another girl next to her, she is wearing a green Luo skirt, pale yellow gown, like a tender spring flower, her facial features are plump and beautiful, and even a little enchanting, but her eyes are a little timid, the water is transparent, and the combination is indescribably coordinated, it is really the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon.

Seeing that Tong Yan had been staring at her, the woman couldn't help but blush, took half a step back, and hid behind the third princess.

Shu Ning couldn't help but burst out laughing, and dragged Tong Yan to bring her back to her senses.

Tong Yan whispered "ah" and smiled embarrassedly, "It's me." ”

An Le blushed, glared at the girl hiding behind her, and squeezed out a sentence from her mouth for a while: "I don't even understand the number of etiquette!" I felt that it was not enough, so I snorted coldly and sat down directly.

Tong Yan guessed that the woman must be Miss Jiang San, and secretly sighed in her heart, she was really beautiful, Ji Yue also said that she was more beautiful than her, this is simply untenable, obviously Miss Jiang San is better!

Shuning was still smiling, and the other nobles were not surprised.

"This is Miss Jiang San, the cousin of the Third Emperor Sister, the same age as me."

What Shuning said was the beautiful girl, Tong Yan guessed well.

Miss Jiang San's voice was soft and tactful, and she saluted timidly: "I've seen the county lord of Zhaoyang." ”

Because Tong Yan is the county lord and has a grade, she doesn't need to return the salute to her, she just smiled and nodded.

Miss Jiang San smiled apologetically and sat down with An Le.
