Entering the main hall, the palace maid smiled and entertained King Yong and his party to sit down, and ordered a few palace maids to come over and serve tea.

"Please wait for a while, the princess, the princess, and the county lords, and let the slaves and maids go and say goodbye." The maid of the palace saluted dignifiedly.

King Yong's head bowed, and the princess also nodded slightly, looked at her and smiled.

Tong Yan has a number in her heart, it seems that this palace maid is a person who can speak in front of the Queen Mother.

The palace maid also smiled back, and Shi Shiran went to the inner hall behind.

For a moment, the empty hall was silent.

Tong Yan took a sip of the teacup and secretly observed it.

I saw King Yong leaning on the back of the chair and closing his eyes to recuperate, while the princess was sitting motionless, smiling, like a stone statue.

Tonghui and Tongyue also sat honestly, one also followed the example of Princess Yong, sitting quietly, one would look down at his toes, and the other would look up at the exquisite and magnificent roof.

Tong Yan put down the tea and sat upright like Princess Yong.

At the time of a pillar of incense, Tong Yan heard a voice coming from behind, and couldn't help but stretch her neck to look.

Several palace maids gracefully and calmly helped a Yongrong dignified woman to walk out.

King Yong didn't know when he had opened his eyes, so he quickly stood up, knelt down directly, and saluted the woman: "The son asks the queen mother for peace." ”

The princess also knelt down and saluted, not to mention Tong Yan and her juniors, who also knelt down quickly.

"Hurry up, hurry up, everybody get up." The Queen Mother laughed kindly a few times, and helped King Yong to get up.

"Thank you, Mother."

The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction, and watched the group stand up after saluting.

She was supported by two palace maids and sat on the top.

"Eh, why are you still standing, sit down." The Queen Mother looked at King Yong and the others still standing in the hall stupidly, and said differently.

King Yong then led everyone to sit down.

Listening to the voice of the Queen Mother, she is very kind and approachable, and I don't know what she looks like.

Tong Yan was a little nervous and relaxed, but she still didn't dare to look up at the most noble woman in the world, she followed the example of Tonghui and Tongyue, sitting upright, with low eyebrows.

I listened to King Yong's respectful question: "I don't know how the queen mother has been doing recently, how was she resting last night?" ”

The Queen Mother laughed, and said continuously: "It's all good, it's all good, I see that you are a little fatter, the last time you came to see me was half a month ago, I remember that I found Zhaoyang, right, at that time, I was haggard, and I lost a lot of weight." ”

King Yong nodded, and smiled embarrassedly: "After so long, the queen mother still remembers what her son looked like at that time." ”

"That's not it, how can a mother not care about her child?" The Queen Mother said angrily.

If Qingzhi hadn't told her about the Queen Mother and Daddy, she really thought that there was a pair of biological mothers and sons in front of her.

It seems that the Queen Mother is really good to Daddy, and Daddy is also very filial to the Queen Mother.

Tong Yan sighed secretly.

"Eh, by the way, what about Zhaoyang, can the injury be healed? Come forward and show me. ”

Tong Yan suddenly stood up.

"Zhaoyang, come out quickly and let the imperial grandmother take a look." King Yong smiled and turned his head to look at her, but the hand hidden in his sleeve silently clenched into a fist.

"Yes." Tong Yan stood up obediently, walked to the middle of the hall, knelt down and saluted, "Zhaoyang greets the imperial grandmother." ”

"Oh, get up, what a good boy, come to grandmother, let grandmother take a good look." The Queen Mother's tone was very happy.

Tong Yan glanced at King Yong, who nodded invisibly and gave her a reassuring look.

She walked up the jade steps and stood in front of the Queen Mother with low eyebrows.

"Oops." The Queen Mother took her little hand rarely, and Tong Yan had to stand a little closer.

The Queen Mother looked at it a few times and exclaimed: "It's really a cute person, it's really handsome." Raise your eyes quickly, a little girl who is only a teenager, how can she be like a little daughter-in-law, there is no need to be restrained here. As she spoke, she patted Tong Yan's little hand lovingly.

Tong Yan looked up at the Queen Mother, blushed slightly, and smiled.

Only then did she see the appearance of the Queen Mother clearly.

A pair of big eyes like an apricot kernel are like torches, the high bridge of the nose is like a mountain, the skin is well maintained, very white, there are a few fine lines at the corners of the eyes, it looks like it is thirty or forty years old, the hair is dense and bright, and a few white threads are faintly visible. She didn't wear a heavy phoenix crown on her head, and she had a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin with beads on the left and right, and a ruby phoenix pattern was inserted in the middle to distract her.

She smiled and watched Tong Yan raise her head and pick her already angular eyebrows.

"Take a turn and let me see."

Tong Yan obediently turned around.

The Queen Mother looked up and down, smiling from ear to ear, she held Tong Yan's shoulders with both hands and looked at her deeply.

But Tong Yan felt that the Queen Mother's eyes were gradually losing their minds, as if she was looking at another person through her.

She saw that the Queen Mother's eyes contained something complicated, and the corners of her mouth were slightly twitching. After a while, I heard the Queen Mother muttering: "It's like, it's really like." ”

Tong Yan was confused, like, like what? Like her mother?

Before she could think deeply, the Queen Mother took her hand again and happily instructed the palace maids beside her: "Send someone to send my newly acquired coral ornament to King Yong's Mansion for Zhaoyang to enjoy, and when I am older, I can keep it as a dowry." ”

The second half of this sentence is for Princess Yong.

Princess Yong still maintained a proper smile, and when she heard this, she just tilted her head and glanced at King Yong.

"How can this be done, queen mother, it is too precious." King Yong frowned, stood up and saluted.

"Alas, what's not to do, I'm an old woman, what are you doing with these things, is it possible that you still don't look down on my coral ornaments?" The Queen Mother's face was unhappy and complained.

She said so, where did King Yong dare to refuse again, the elder could not give up, and it would be too rude not to continue.

Tong Yan didn't know what the coral ornament was, but after listening to what King Yong said, she also knew that it was a valuable thing, so she quickly knelt down and thanked the Queen Mother for her gift.

The queen mother was happy again, and asked the palace maid to help her up, and quipped: "You kid is good at everything, but you are too restrained." Anyway, today you and my grandfather and grandson are just meeting for the first time, and when they get acquainted in the future, you will know that my temper is no better. ”

Tong Yan still pursed her lips and smiled and nodded.

But in my heart, I slandered, you are the queen mother, not Daddy's mother, I am a little county lord who suddenly jumped out, it is not bad if there is no mistake, where do you dare to make a mistake.

The palace maid on the side bent down and reminded: "Niangniang, the hour is not early." ”

The Queen Mother suddenly said, "Look at this age, your brain is not good, and you forget that today is still the Dragon Boat Festival." She raised her hand and waved, "Go and get what I told you yesterday." ”

The palace maid answered, and beckoned the little palace maid standing behind her to hurry up.

The little palace maid respectfully stepped forward with a crimson carved lacquer case, and three gold-inlaid mutton fat jade bracelets of different sizes were placed in the case, and a gold-inlaid mutton fat jade pendant.

"Let's play with the three of you sisters, and there is a jade pendant for Qi'er." The Queen Mother smiled, and then took a bracelet with a peony entwined branch from the lacquer case, and put it on Tong Yan's hand, appreciating it with satisfaction, and nodded again and again, "It's really beautiful." ”

I don't know whether to praise Tong Yan's beautiful wrist or praise this jade bracelet for being beautiful.

The remaining two branches, one is the Eight Treasures Radiance Pattern, and the other is the residual pattern for many years.

The palace maid first came to the prince Li Qi, and after Li Qi took the jade pendant, she came to Tonghui again.

Tonghui chose a silver carp that has lingering lines for many years, and there are continuous silver carp jumping on the mutton fat jade, which looks very festive.

In the end, there was only one bracelet left in the lacquer case, and it was brought to Tongyue.

Tongyue's eyes were full of reluctance, she pursed her lips, picked up the bracelet, and put it on her hand.

These "eight auspicious" are mostly liked by the elderly, where is there a little girl of such an age to wear it.

The more Tongyue thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, why did her daughter who was a serious child the most unpopular, and even had to pick a bracelet last.

The Queen Mother smiled and took her hand, rarely didn't want to let go, and said softly: "Zhaoyang go with me, you have just arrived in Beijing, you must have no friends, I will take you to meet the third and fourth, they are the same age as you, you will definitely be able to play." ”

Although it was said to Tong Yan, the Queen Mother's phoenix eyes glanced at King Yong.

King Yong hesitated for a moment, and saluted: "Then Zhaoyang will please leave it to the queen mother." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and bowed, very satisfied.

"Zhaoyang, don't be naughty, follow the imperial grandmother well." King Yong looked at Tong Yan and said a few words.

Tong Yan's heart was pounding, so she threw her here? She's too miserable, isn't she? Don't go!

It's a pity that King Yong could hear the cry in her heart, and with his family, he said goodbye to the Queen Mother.

Tong Yan pitifully watched the backs of King Yong and the others, and gradually disappeared from sight.

The Queen Mother shook her head and looked at Tong Yan with a wry smile: "Look at it again, just stare your father's back out of a hole, what are you afraid of, I'm not a big tiger, and I won't eat you, this little cowardly look, but I really don't follow your father at all, and I don't follow your mother at all, but like the kitten I used to raise." ”

The surrounding palace maids covered their mouths and laughed when they heard the Queen Mother's words.

Tong Yan blushed and smiled embarrassedly.

She was bold and asked curiously, "Do you know my mother?" ”

The Queen Mother didn't expect her to ask this, and nodded in surprise, "Yes." ”

"So, can you tell me what kind of person my mother is?" Tong Yan's tone was a little timid, but she still stared at a pair of innocent eyes and looked very sincere.

"Hmm-" The Queen Mother thought for a while, suddenly stood up, sighed, and said to the palace maid beside her: "It's not early, let's drive to Dongyuan." ”

The palace maid saluted and helped one of the queen mother's arms.

The Queen Mother stretched out an arm, looked at the stunned Tong Yan, and motioned for her to come and hold it.

Tong Yan hurriedly went over to help her.

The Queen Mother nodded with a smile and said happily: "Let's talk while walking on the road." ”

Tong Yan was overjoyed, she thought that the Queen Mother didn't want to say it.

Her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she nodded again and again, making the Queen Mother laugh.

All of a sudden, the hall was happy and very pleasant.

A group of people hugged the Queen Mother and walked outside the hall.
