The next day, I began to deal with family affairs, first asking the clansmen to testify, not that I didn't want to separate the family, but that Yuanqing begged me to go home. Weiliang and the others saw that Yuanqing was beaten like that, and they all stopped silent, I think from now on, no one will dare to disrespect me, right?

Burned the note, recovered the key account of Yuanqing, Xiang's sister-in-law came back to take charge of the house, the shop was handed over to Uncle Xiang, after everything was arranged, I took the carriage to the capital, first stayed in the best hotel, and then let people go to Helan's house to cast a name sticker, after a series of procedures, I finally introduced the palace by the internal officials.

I don't have much interest in architecture, the queen is really as virtuous as the history says, sent a small sedan chair to me, otherwise I will cry, even if I sat in a sedan chair to reach the queen's dormitory it took about ten minutes, it is false to say that I am not nervous, one of the most famous good women in ancient China! But thinking about that upright Xiaokai, and the story that I have been familiar with since childhood, in fact, in my heart, I think she should be a cruel woman, who can be by the emperor's side for more than 20 years, in fact, it is impossible without a little political skill. So why does this woman want to see me?

The sedan chair stopped in front of the door of the dormitory, the palace people went in to pass the ceremony, I stood outside the hall and waited, so for a few more minutes, I stood with my head down, uninterested in the scenery around me. Finally, a palace maid came out and invited me in, and after I respectfully thanked me, I carefully followed the palace maid into the palace. Seeing that the palace maid stopped, I also stopped, and when I saw the noble lady on the main seat from a distance, I knelt down: "Concubine Yang respectfully invites the queen to be Sheng'an." ”

"Madame, please get up, there is no need to be formal in the dormitory." A soft voice rang in my ears, and sure enough, there was a pair of beautiful and delicate soft shoes in front of me. And, when I saw a little white hand stretched out in front of me, it should mean to flatten my body, right? I hurriedly stood up and took a step back by inertia, so that the queen could see that I was not struggling, and I could not hang my head so low.

"Madame is so courteous." She smiled, and I could really see what she looked like. She is beautiful, of course, the queen can't be too ugly, but not the kind that is dazzlingly beautiful, it is a kind of beauty that makes people very comfortable and willing to be close to her. She saw that I was looking at her, smiled again, and reached over to take mine. Lead me to sit down in front of the small table. In this way, we can look at each other at the same level, regardless of superiority.

"Madame doesn't seem to like the palace."

I was stunned for a moment, I didn't think that her formal conversation with me actually started from this, I thought for a moment, "The concubine is a citizen of the mountains and wilderness, and she was a little panicked for a while. ”

The eldest grandson shook his head and said with a smile, "Actually, this palace wanted to see Madame long before His Majesty ascended the throne, but I didn't expect it to take nearly ten years. ”

I was dumbfounded again, what had I done to make this noble woman, who had been a princess at the age of thirteen, think of seeing me?

After she looked at my white eyes, she covered her mouth and smiled, "Madame, has you forgotten to give your name?" ”

My face turned red all of a sudden, and I thought of that unlucky peony flower, and it took me a long time to laugh dryly, and I really had nothing to say.

"How could Madame think of the hairpin peony, Your Majesty went back to the house and talked about it with the palace, and they were all amazed."

"Do you want to hear the truth?" I hung my head and clenched my fists, and she said that I would have to find a crack in the ground to get into.

"Could it be that Madame didn't mean it?" The eldest grandson was also taken aback, could it be that in her mind, I wanted to seduce her husband at that time?

"The concubine was born in the Shu clan, and her parents were simple and self-contained, and she was not used to these complicated headdresses since she was a child. It was an unfortunate day that the maid who helped the concubine comb her hair was not there, and the concubine had no choice but to see the guests. ”

I heard the eldest grandson's hilarious voice, and I was really close to hitting the wall. It had been a few more minutes since the dignified and virtuous queen had regained her demeanor, and she looked at me differently, "The second time I wanted to see Madame was eight years ago, when Your Majesty was unable to make a decision on matters and asked for the advice of this palace. This palace politely rejected His Majesty, saying that men and women are different, and each should perform its own duties. His Majesty looked at the palace for a long time and found out the twists and turns of Lord Wu. Interesting stories about the difference between men and women. Master Wu then played, 'Do things with your heart to live up to the letter of Your Majesty and Mrs.' At that time, Bengong thought, what kind of woman is this Lady Wu? ”

I was stunned, I didn't expect Shi Tong to listen to what I said in the study with Mei Niang, no wonder! No wonder he kept asking me what I had to say to him that night, because he wanted to hear me say it again. I'm so stupid!

"Ma'am?" The eldest grandson gently pushed me, saw me come back to his senses, and said apologetically, "It's sad to make Madame." ”

"Where, it's just, I just didn't expect the Xianggong to hear it, and it was written into the recital, which really made the concubine panic."

"Isn't this what you told Master Wu?"

"No......" I said the cause and effect of the important one, "It's just a boudoir training with the little girl, and I never want to ...... each other."

"The third time I wanted to see my wife was a year ago, General Helan returned to the palace to report on the future arrangements of Lord Wu, and he said that Lord Wu and his wife went together to watch the sunrise. That day, Hongu was alone upstairs watching the sunset, and His Majesty suddenly came that day for some reason, and didn't say anything, holding Hongu's hand and watching the sunset together. Hongu has never been so happy. That day was the first time that the palace envied a woman, that is, Madame. She smiled slightly, I didn't speak, I knew that she didn't need me to speak, she should have asked me to listen to her.

"I always told my majesty that I wanted to see my wife, but my majesty always said that it was inconvenient, and my wife knew what the reason was, and last year my wife was in the midst of filial piety; This year, I will make a statement to Your Majesty, Your Majesty wants to say that he wants to go to see Master Wu, and Lord Helan said that Lord Wu is shabby and buried, and His Majesty seems to be dissatisfied. When His Majesty came back, he told the palace that Madame was a person! Madam, this is the highest praise of Your Majesty and others. That day, I heard a lot from Your Majesty, and my yearning for Mrs. was victorious, so I asked Your Majesty to finally invite Mrs. into the palace. She looked delighted.

"Niangniang, the concubine is afraid!"

"Just inside the wait, the lady does not squint in the sedan chair, and outside the hall. The ladies who entered the palace for the first time all looked at and remembered, but the lady seemed to be completely uninterested. Madame really has no interest in riches? ”

I thought about it, how should I answer? Tell her that this palace will be replaced by Daming Palace in the future, so it doesn't matter if you look at it or not? And I will spend too much time in the palace for the rest of my life, what is there to see? But what do you say? Wealth, why did these ancients attach so much importance to wealth? Blame!

"Concubines like riches, but they prefer to live." I thought about it and laughed.

"So it's a curse to say to Your Majesty that you are rich?"

"Yes! A concubine is a female streamer, and she has no ability to protect herself, so what she can do is to give up her wealth to avoid disaster. ”

"Madame thinks disaster can be avoided?"

"When there is no way to avoid it, concubines should have the courage to face it." I smiled indifferently.

She thought for a while, and looked at me: "Madame deeply admires the upbringing of her children, dare to ask Madame, how to ......" She thought for a while, and couldn't say it at once.

"There are only three daughters under the concubine's knees, and the mentality is relaxed, the three daughters have their own strengths, and all the concubines can do is let them do what they can." I smiled and said softly.

"It's so relaxed, what are your plans for Mrs. Mei Niang?" She suddenly looked into my eyes, and I was stunned again, why did she only point to Mei Niang? I hesitated and smiled.

"The concubine doesn't know!"

The eldest grandson was stunned and thought for a moment, "Why?" ”

"Mei Niang......" I looked at the sky, thought about it and smiled bitterly, "The first husband often said that Mei Niang mistakenly threw herself into her daughter......" I said that Mei Niang was well-read and memorized when she was young, and now she has read more than 10,000 volumes, and finally sighed: "In fact, the concubine does not advocate that Mei Niang read so many books, but she does not want to be harsh on her, and the first husband let the concubine go by her, even if she never marries." Don't bury your talent. ”

The eldest grandson smiled again and sighed, "Madame is bitter because her daughter loves to read too much, but this palace is bitter because the princes don't study!" We looked at each other and smiled. I had dinner in the palace and left the palace, before leaving the palace, the queen asked if she could give me a title, I smiled and shook my head, she nodded knowingly. On the way out of the palace, I suddenly thought that Empress Changsun died in her thirties, how old was she at this time?

Not long after returning home, news came from the capital, and the eldest grandson, the empress, couldn't help but feel sorry. Datang has entered another era.
