Chapter 30: Shengshou
Cui Shi was pulled away by Ji Zhun: "Sister Heng, my uncle knows that you have always had an idea, don't bother your uncle, my uncle is thinking that the Queen Mother's Holy Birthday is a royal celebration after all, there are many people, you go alone, and pay more attention to everything." ”
Ji Zhun understands that Cui's is concerned about himself, his parents have not been around for many years, and his uncle has taken care of her instead of his mother. Ji Zhun smiled and pulled Cui's hand and said, "Uncle is relieved, I won't provoke or provoke, just eat my feast quietly." ”
Cui Shi straightened Ji Zhun's long hair, "That's good, my uncle and aunt are relieved, the dresses worn in the palace have been prepared, have you tried them on?" What's missing? Do you want your aunt to buy some more for you? ”
Ji Zhun shook his head: "Uncle Lao is worried, I am ready here." Ji Zhun beckoned and motioned for Jinyang to take the dress.
Jinyang took a few little maids to unfold the skirt in turn, the upper body was a royal blue shoulder embroidered cloud Luo gown, and the bottom was a crimson eight-piece shining gauze Hunan skirt, with a set of gold silk inlaid with multiple treasures. It's not overly eye-catching, but it doesn't lose its identity.
Cui Shi looked at it carefully and made sure that there was nothing wrong, so he nodded: "Well, it's really good, our sister Heng must be very beautiful in it." ”
July Flowing Fire.
The sound of insects chirping outside the window came and went, and for a while it was like a rising tide in the sea, and the sound of rustling wanted to swallow people; I didn't hear a sound for a while, as if the hustle and bustle of the world was just the desire that people pressed in their hearts, and it had nothing to do with the shadows of the trees, the grass and trees.
Tomorrow is Holy Birthday Day.
Ji Zhun soaked in the bathtub, slowly submerged his mouth and nose into the water, and his eyes stared at the surface of the water for a moment.
She didn't move, but she still made waves.
The door of the cubicle was gently pushed open, and Qi Yun walked in with his dress, Ji Zhun sat down again, and smiled at Qi Yun.
Qiyun put down his clothes, rolled up his sleeves and helped Ji Zhun comb his long hair carefully.
"Tomorrow is the birthday of the Queen Mother, the slave and maid seem to have something on your mind?" When Yun Yun came in, he saw Ji Zhun's appearance and asked with some concern.
Ji Zhun lowered his head, his eyes were lightly curled, and his thick long eyelashes were hidden in the dense water vapor, trembling slightly. She picked up the warm water in the tub and said slowly, "It's nothing, I'm just a little curious, you say...... How much ripple can one person make? ”
Qiyun thought for a while and asked Ji Zhundao: "If it's you, Miss, how much ripple do you want to make?" ”
"Me? I do not know...... I'm afraid that if the water waves rise slightly, it will overturn the blue boat. ”
Qiyun shook his head disapprovingly, "Other people's slaves don't know, but Miss definitely won't." Grandpa said that you are a longitudinal wood in the boat, and if you are level, you are enough to capsize the boat. ”
"Sideways...... Ji Zhun muttered, "Are you scared when you're on the boat?" ”
Qiyun took a dry handkerchief and gently twisted Ji Zhun's wet hair. "The slave and maid feel that if this ripple really becomes a huge wave, when it can flood the city and swallow the city, the slave and maid are on the boat, and it is the safest......"
A good night's sleep.
The next day, Ji Zhun got up early and started picking up. This time, the Holy Birthday Festival was held in the Longli Mountain Palace, and Ji Zhun received a letter a few days ago, He Zhuo's grandfather, He Taishi, and asked his eldest grandson, He Yu, to take Ji Zhun with him.
Sure enough, as soon as Ji Zhun and his party arrived at the shadow wall, they saw a young man in brocade clothes waiting with his hands in hand.
Ji Zhun walked over with the maid and saluted He Yu first, "I'm late, Gongzi Lao He has been waiting for a long time." ”
He Yu smiled modestly, "No, He has just arrived." He asked Ji Zhun to get into the carriage again, and the coachman waved his whip, the horse's hooves sounded, and the car of the two drove towards Longli Mountain.
Ji Zhun sat on the car and closed her eyes to recuperate, and when she was about halfway away, the carriage suddenly stopped, she opened her eyes, pinched the corner of the curtain with two fingers, and gently lifted the curtain to look out.
He Yu's car was parked on the side of the road, and he was pulling the curtain to talk to the people in the carriage on the other side.
Ji Zhun was about to open the curtain a little more, but it happened that He Yu finished talking to that person, the two of them looked over here together, and after a hurried glance, Ji Zhun saw clearly that the person was not someone else, it was Tianshan Snow Lotus Lin Yuanhui, so she withdrew her hand and sat down again.
After a while, He Yu's maid trotted to pass the word: "Miss Ji, the slave maid came to ask for my young master, my young master met a friend by chance and wanted to invite him to go along, you see?" ”
It turned out that the two of them knew each other well. "It's okay, don't worry, let's go together." After Ji Zhun finished speaking, the little maid saluted and retreated, and the carriage walked up again.
By the time we arrived at the palace, there were already many carriages waiting here.
Ji Zhun was not the first time to participate, and he knew what the process was, so he asked Xuyun to take the silver coin and Guogongfu token for the reward, and jumped out of the carriage first.
At this time, there were already a lot of young masters and young ladies gathered on both sides of the porch, He Yu and Lin Yuanhui saw Ji Zhun coming, so they protected her in the middle, and the group walked towards the palace gate, urged Yun to show the invitation, and quietly stuffed the bag of silver bills for the little internal official, and they entered the palace gate very easily.
The little internal official who led the way led the three of them to register and offer congratulatory gifts, and another palace maid led the way, leading Ji Zhun to meet the Queen Mother. He Yu and Lin Yuanhui were taken to the men's seat.
Ji Zhun followed behind the palace maid and quietly looked around with his peripheral vision. It was the first time she came to this Longli Mountain Palace, on the eve of the Holy Birthday Festival in her previous life, there was a case of the disappearance of the proton, and the Guogong Mansion was implicated, Shen Chenghuai died tragically, and her grandfather was so angry that she couldn't afford to be sick, so Ji Zhun stayed in the house to serve the sick and did not participate in the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother.
Now that I have taken a closer look at this palace, it is no wonder that the Queen Mother wants to hold a holy birthday here. The pillars and window lattices here are newly painted, some of the palaces are newly repaired, and the glazed tiles on the eaves are shining in the sun, shining with sparkling golden light. Along the way, eighteen bachelors were planted on both sides, Luoyang brocade was planted on the ground, and Wenjun slept in the pool. The royal family is indeed the royal family, and the supremacy of heaven and earth is evident everywhere.
"Miss, wait a minute, the slave will go and pass the word." The palace maid had already led Ji Zhun to Wan'an Garden, where the Queen Mother temporarily lived.
"There's Aunt Law."
The palace maid turned around and went in, and after a while, she came back and opened the bead curtain for Ji Zhun, and Ji Zhun stepped into the bright room.
When Ji Zhun arrived, there were already a lot of ladies wearing crown clothes and daughters from various provinces.
Ji Zhuncai was on the dark red Tuanhua Wufu carpet, and gently stepped forward to greet the Queen Mother, who is now more than sixty years old, fortunately, it is well maintained, although there are wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, but she is more kind, although there are silver threads on the bun, but the temples are shining neatly.
"Isn't this Ji girl? Why are you so well-behaved today, come on, let the mourning family take a good look. ”
Ji Zhun smiled again and stepped forward and bowed again, "Ji Zhun greets the Queen Mother, and wishes the Queen Mother good health and longevity." ”
The female official beside the Queen Mother helped Ji Zhun and sent her to the Queen Mother, who pulled her to look carefully: "Oops! Strange Dao Mourner looks well-behaved, why didn't you wear your men's clothes today? This little mouth is still just as sweet! After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she smiled happily.
The Queen Mother's words caused the wives present to turn their heads to look at Ji Zhun, they didn't pay attention to this young lady just now, although she had outstanding appearance, she didn't dress gorgeously, thinking that she was just an ordinary official lady, but she heard the Queen Mother ask her why she didn't wear men's clothes.
It turned out that this was Ji Zhun, several women exchanged glances with each other, they had all heard Ji Zhun's story more or less, and they were a little disappreciative of her, and even a little contemptuous.
