Chapter 55: The Emperor Arrives
Today, because of the birthday of the Queen Mother, everything is properly placed, and the lotus flowers are specially transplanted into the courtyard of Kunning Palace. The Queen Mother also put on court clothes, and she was graceful and luxurious.
Aunt Li, as the old man next to the Queen Mother, stayed by the Queen Mother's side all day long, ushered in the send-off, served tea and poured water for the distinguished guests who came to offer birthday gifts, and served them properly.
The Queen Mother's old headache has been committed again, and after seeing the guests for a whole day, normal people's heads are going to explode, not to mention that the Queen Mother has a stubborn headache.
Taking advantage of the maiden just now, Aunt Li brought a bowl of soup and medicine to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, drink the medicine, there are still a few people to the dinner." ”
The Queen Mother supported her forehead, sighed deeply, reached out and took the decoction and drank it all, her face wrinkled with bitterness.
Aunt Li hurriedly handed over a piece of preserved fruit.
The Queen Mother swung back with her armor-worn fingers while chewing, signaling Aunt Li to stand back, she could still survive.
Fan Xixi had already arrived at the door with Gong Yanling in her arms.
Fan Xixi took two steps back, stood on the right rear two steps away from the palace Yanling, and gave a big gift to the Queen Mother, "Congratulations to the Queen Mother for a thousand years, a thousand years old, a thousand years old." ”
The Queen Mother quietly swallowed the preserved fruit, and her mouth was still a little indistinct, "No courtesy." ”
Gong Yanling and Fan Xixi stood up together in an orderly manner.
Aunt Li saw Fan Xixi when Gong Yanling and Fan Xixi entered the house. After working together for so many years, she taught Fan Xixi her housekeeping skills in the palace to Fan Xixi, hoping that she could be like herself, and be able to handle all the affairs of the harem, how could she not recognize it.
At the moment when the queen was demoted, Aunt Li's first thought was not that the queen's life experience was really unfortunate, but what to do with the little palace maid who was like herself and helpless like duckweed in this palace.
Now that she saw Fan Xixi standing here intact, she was glad that she had survived; Worried and angry again, how did she enter the palace, and even dared to stand in front of the Queen Mother.
Although he didn't make a sound, his face was embarrassed and tight.
Several eunuchs next to him lifted up the two works embroidered by Fan Xixi. "The Empress Dowager, the palace lady of the Efu Mansion has a picture of longevity and a picture of Fulu longevity on behalf of the Ejia Jinxian, wishing the Queen Mother a long life."
Fan Xixi came to the palace with courage, and when she wanted to meet the Queen Mother, she found that she was really scared, and moved to the back of the embroidery with small steps, trying to cover her face.
I secretly scolded myself in my heart for being useless.
It is you who want to come to the palace, and in the end it is you who is afraid.
The Queen Mother had a severe headache just now, and she kept her head down, and she barely raised her head when she saw Shou Pin coming up.
At a glance, I could see the head cowering behind the embroidery.
Originally, if Fan Xixi didn't know how to move, the Queen Mother might not have been able to find her, but now that she moves, it is impossible for people to find out. As soon as the Queen Mother took a look, it was the face of the probe probing her brain, and she directly matched the green cloud beside the queen.
However, the Queen Mother really cares who these ladies who come to visit her bring into the palace. After all, she is a woman who has seen wind and waves. This little thing is not important in her heart, but a palace maid who was once demoted from the palace is now following a princess's daughter to congratulate her on her birthday.
She also really didn't bother to go against a little girl.
The line of sight shifted from Mao Mao's head to the embroidery next to it, all of which were of the highest grade, every stitch and thread were very meticulous, the entire embroidery surface was smooth and smooth, and several animals on the Fu Lu Shou diagram were lifelike and brilliant. And next to the longevity map, with different writing neatly neatly placed countless longevity words, each longevity word such as the size of a fingernail, very exquisite.
The Queen Mother's sharp gaze met Fan Xixi, and Fan Xixi's legs almost went weak all of a sudden. "You embroidered it, probably no one in the world can match your embroidery."
Fan Xixi fell to his knees all of a sudden, nervously stammering, "Yes. . I embroidered it, Queen Mother. ”
Fan Xixi knew that the Queen Mother recognized her, when she was in this palace, she was the best embroiderer in the entire embroidery workshop, and she also changed a few court clothes for the Queen Mother, since the Queen Mother recognized her embroidery, it means that she was also recognized by the Queen Mother.
But since the Queen Mother has said so, it actually means that she has a way to survive here with the Queen Mother today.
ignored Fan Xixi, who was kneeling on the ground, and said to Gong Yanling, "Thank you Mrs. Hou for your kindness, then I will accept it." ”
Gong Yanling hurriedly knelt down and said a few polite words, "Thanks to the Queen Mother, she will not give up." It is the honor of Efu. ”
The Queen Mother waved and motioned for them to go down.
Fan Xixi got up with difficulty, just now he was basically so frightened that his knees hit the ground directly, if there was no accident, he would have been bruised, wiped the cold sweat on his head, and helped Gong Yanling to leave from the Queen Mother.
Gonggong Feng's voice was extremely sharp, and he shouted outside the Kunning Palace, and his voice was clearly heard in the hall
It's like a male duck being pinched by someone, screaming: "The emperor has arrived!" ”
Fan Xixi was suddenly stupefied like five thunderbolts, and fell to his knees again, plopping down on the ground with a hard bang.
Many thoughts flashed through Fan Xixi's mind, such as "He should not have come back so soon in Hangzhou", or "Why is it so miserable, but Gong Yanling met the emperor when he came to meet him", or "Why did Wang Bingli know but didn't tell her in advance." ”
But all these thoughts flashed through her, and then what occupied her brain for a long time was "I'm afraid I'm really going to die." ”
The people of Kunning Palace were first startled by the emperor's sudden arrival, and then by Fan Xixi, who suddenly knelt on the ground, and when they came back to their senses, they quickly knelt on the ground and "Welcome Your Majesty." ”
After Jiang Qianliang returned to the palace, he went to change his clothes first, and hurried to the Queen Mother.
It's all because Gonggong Feng has been babbling in his ear, "The Queen Mother has always been worried about you", "You go and meet the Queen Mother first." "When the Queen Mother sees you, this birthday is complete." "Your Majesty, you have to go to see the Queen Mother today."
Jiang Qianliang was annoyed by him, so he could only change his clothes and come, and he didn't even take a shower and was stinky.
When he entered the door, he gave a salute to the Queen Mother, "My son is not filial, and the Queen Mother's birthday is late." ”
didn't care about the Queen Mother's face, and sat straight on the main seat flush with the Queen Mother.
He didn't want to deal with the Queen Mother, nor did he want to chat with the Queen Mother.
He just came and walked around, and hurriedly took a sip of tea and went back to take a shower. Naturally, he looked around and saw Fan Xixi kneeling in the corner.
"Eh, Van Heehy!" Jiang Qianliang saw that Fan Xixi was interested, and he stood up from the main seat, bowed down and looked carefully at Fan Xixi's kneeling face.
In the end, he even waved his dragon robe, squatted in front of Fan Xixi, and pointed at her with his finger, "Why did you come to the palace?" Jiang Qianliang had just said goodbye to Fan Xiancheng, but he didn't expect to see Fan Xixi when he came back. Jiang Qianliang was quite happy, he originally thought that he would never see the Fan family again.
He turned his head and saw Gong Yanling again, of course Jiang Qianliang knew that Gong Yanling was the wife of the Hou Ye of the Efu Mansion, and when he was in the Fan family, he also knew that Fan Xixi was an embroiderer in the Efu family, so he established a connection with himself, "Oh oh, I know, you came to the capital with your master." ”
Jiang Qianliang stood up again, sat down and returned to the main seat just now, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
peeking at the gloomy face of the Queen Mother, I don't know how happy I am in my heart. He was just playing a child's temper and not talking to the Queen Mother, seeing that the Queen Mother was angry, he was very satisfied.
Talked to Fan Xixi again: "The first time I came to the palace, let Wang Bingli take you around." ”
