017 entered the palace

Liu Sisi's biological father Liu Congwen was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and is an important minister in the court, and the current Empress Dowager Liu Ruzhao is the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who was given by Emperor Gaozu to be the crown princess at that time, and the first emperor was married to the first emperor, and after the death of Emperor Gaozu, the first emperor ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne.

Unexpectedly, the first emperor was upright and in his prime, but suddenly fell seriously ill and died early, and did not have too many heirs, so he left a posthumous photo for his son-in-law Han Zichu to succeed to the throne, but the emperor was young and could not deal with the major affairs of the court, so the first emperor had to let his most imperial brother Kang Wang Han Nie wait for the regent, and then return the power to him after the emperor became an adult, and the queen mother Liu Wenzhao listened to the government.

King Kang is the power of the government and the opposition, and the general Jiang Wu of Zhenbei holds the military power of the dynasty, and after King Kang married the Jiang family and Miss Jiang married into the palace, he monopolized the power of the court and the outside of the court.

The queen mother was worried that King Kang would be crowned with high achievements, so she decreed that her niece should be married to King Kang, so as to disintegrate the relationship established between King Kang and the Jiang family.

Liu Sisi got up early this morning, and Lan Gu hurriedly gargled her mouth with bamboo salt, and cleaned her face with jade dew ointment, before sitting on the combing table to make up.

Lan Gu slowly combed her hair with a comb grate in her hand, and said: "Ruren, if you are going to enter the palace today, the maid will comb you a popular Chaoyun near incense bun, and how about wearing the most precious cloud temples and begonias golden step shake for you?" ”

"Good", Liu Sisi looked at his son in the Huanghuali mirror, the green silk overlapped on the top, his son had not been dressed so solemnly and gorgeous for a long time, the palace was the land of heaven, and if he wanted to enter the palace this time, he had to dress up well.

And the taste of the little emperor, as a cousin Liu Sisi is familiar with it, the little emperor's favorite three kinds of pastries are oil cakes, flower moon cakes, jujube mud cakes, every time he enters the palace, he must make some pastries for the emperor's cousin.

So after freshening up, Liu Sisi hurried to the kitchen.

Although the flower moon cake is not difficult to make, but its filling is very difficult to get, to rose petals, lychee meat, lily fruit, black plum and other nearly ten kinds of fillings mixed together, before the pie crust is wrapped into the filling according to the flat circle, and then it is the same as the moon cake practice, with the moon cake pattern mold to generate the cake embryo, before putting it into the steamer, you need to brush a layer of clear oil on the surface of the cage before steaming, in order to steam in the basket.

Liu Sisi told the little guy in front of the stove to burn the firewood more vigorously, then returned to the board to continue to make grease cake, wrapped the cooked cake powder with a damp cloth to make it solid, and then flipped it over, flattened it to a large square, and then cut it into a rectangle with a knife, and then steamed to.

After tossing for an hour, Liu Sisi began to uncover the lid of the cage, and the dense vapor dissipated, revealing the cakes and fat cakes on the top of the cage, which were white and crystalline, and the green onions were fragrant and green.

Aunt Liu slapped her hand, "Oh, the pastries made by the widow are not beautiful in appearance, and it makes my saliva flow when I look at it." ”

Liu Sisi picked up the steamer and said with a smile: "There are still two cages below that haven't come out, you can put the food boxes in this cage first, and I will have to bring these three pastries into the palace in a while." ”

As soon as the words fell, Aunt Liu quickly took a plate and put it in the food box.

After all the three pastries were packed and put in the food box, the red note followed Liu Sisi to the carriage to the palace.

This emperor's cousin can also be regarded as Liu Sisi grew up, at that time the queen mother was still the crown princess of the East Palace, Liu Si occasionally went to the East Palace with his mother Hua to see his aunt, his mother always had to chat with his aunt for a while, and he played with his cousin with the maids, she loved this young cousin, and every time she came back, she would change her tricks to make different snacks for her cousin to eat, so that he raised the mouth of the emperor's cousin even more, and even the pastries made by the imperial chef in the palace did not like to eat, and felt that Liu Sisi did not make it delicious.

When the master and servant arrived at the palace gate of the Suzaku Gate, they followed the guide father-in-law through the high red walls and came to the Ganquan Palace.

Ganquan Palace, is the most luxurious and largest palace in the whole palace, is the residence of the Queen Mother and Her Majesty, because Your Majesty is young, you need the Queen Mother to take care of it, so you did not let Your Majesty go to your own dormitory Taiji Palace to live, and temporarily live in Ganquan Palace.

The little emperor was playing with the palace people this time, and when he arrived at Liu Sisi, he couldn't help but be happy, ran over and hugged her thigh, and said: "Cousin, you are finally here, you don't know that I have been waiting for you for a long time, and you don't come to the palace to play with me." ”

Liu Sisi couldn't help but be stunned, after all, his cousin was only a six-year-old child, even if he ascended the throne and became the emperor, he did not have the majesty of a monarch.

Liu Sisi stretched out his hand and scraped his petite nose, and said, "Does the emperor want his cousin, or do you want the snacks made by his cousin?" ”

"Chu'er", with the loving call of the Queen Mother, the little emperor let go of Liu Sisi's legs, took Liu Sisi's hand, and walked towards the Queen Mother who was sitting in the small pavilion on the top of the flying horn.

Liu Sisi handed the food box to Mama Su, and saluted the Queen Mother.

The little emperor sat on the stone bench, stretched out his meaty little hand and took a piece of flower mooncake to eat, while Mama Su took a silver needle to test the pastries in the other two plates.

The Queen Mother sat on a high phoenix chair, graceful and luxurious, although her aunt is now the Queen Mother, but she is only in her early thirties, born with a goose egg pointed face, willow eyebrows and almond eyes, wearing a wig, tortoiseshell gold hairpin and many gorgeous headdresses around, but the forehead and cheeks are decorated with jade flowers, such a face can not be compared with the national color and fragrance, and it is no wonder that the first emperor will be infinitely gracious to her aunt when he is also there.

The Queen Mother relaxed Shu Dra's purple wide sleeves, and said with kind eyebrows: "Sisi, you are still willing to mourn your wishes in vain and marry you to King Kang's mansion." ”

Liu Sisi raised her eyes and smiled, her face suddenly seemed to be radiant, and she said slowly: "Sisi never dared to think like that, my aunt will marry her own son Kang Wangfu, which others can't ask for, and Sisi will only thank you a thousand times." ”

The Queen Mother slowly took a sip of hot tea and lightly opened her lips, "The mourning family knows, you really wish for the mourning family in your heart, and the mourning family is not strange." When others see you, they will say to the mourning family, your eyes are very similar to the mourning family, but the mourning family knows that your temperament is also very similar to the mourning family, so they love your niece very much. When the mourning family was young, they also had the same thoughts as you, they didn't want to be at the mercy of the family marriage contract, they just wanted to make their own decisions and marry the person they liked. But the result is still impossible to get rid of, this is why there is today's glory and wealth, the mourning family thinks, you will understand the bitterness of the mourning family in the future. ”

Indeed, although she has the beauty of her aunt, she has a pair of big eyes that are as beautiful as her aunt.

This is because the Liu family has half of the Hu blood in their blood, so they have eyes as big and beautiful as the Hu people, instead of small eyes with single eyelids like other Han people, but cousin Liu Shenyan has single-eyelid eyes, but they are also very beautiful.

"Cousin, accompany me to play Keju, play Keju." Liu Sisi looked down at the little emperor holding the round juju and opening his big obsidian eyes to himself, he felt very cute, and immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll play ball with the emperor." ”

Seeing that the little emperor was happy because of Liu Sisi's arrival, the queen mother couldn't help but be in a good mood.

The Queen Mother said with a smile: "Your Majesty has been clamoring to play with him these days, if you are here today, take him to play for a while." ”

It was very interesting to look at the two cousins, one tall and one short, walking on the wide lawn.

The two walked to the center of the lawn, and Liu Sisi slowly took a few steps back, keeping a distance of ten zhang from the little emperor.

Liu Sisi said: "Your Majesty, I'm ready, you quickly kick Keju over." ”

The little emperor kicked Keju with his short legs, but Keju was not allowed to roll away from him.

Liu Sisi saw that Keju was out of place, and immediately ran to chase Keju, resisted Keju, and picked it up.

When the little emperor saw him pick up the juju, he grinned and was quite proud.

Liu Sisi looked at him and said with some anger: "Your Majesty is not allowed to bow, then let me send it, and I must catch it." ”

After saying that, Liu Sisi kicked his leg and kicked Juju in the direction of the little emperor.

On the other side, an old lady wearing an inky satin white crane bright winged cross-collar wide-sleeved skirt staggered over, although her sideburns were like silver, she was wearing a phoenix golden hairpin and bright peony flowers, and she was accompanied by several palace maids who combed double screw hair buns and wore yellow narrow-sleeved short shirts.

The old lady was wealthy, and she looked like a noble lady with a high status, "How can the queen mother let my imperial grandson play with some dangers, what if she is injured?" Sisi, you quickly bring back your imperial cousin. ”

This old lady is Liu Sisi's own grandmother, but Liu Sisi's relationship with Mi's is not very good, because Mi's is difficult for her mother when she is young, and she is not satisfied with the lady who her father marries, because her mother has not been pregnant for a year after marrying into Liufu, so she gave her father a concubine Gao.

Fortunately, after Gao's entered the house, he was still not pregnant, and his mother was pregnant a year later, and Liu Huanqing, the sister-in-law of Liufu, kept his position in the house, but his mother gave birth to her own son in the second year, and the Mi family began to be unhappy again, that is, because she gave birth to a daughter, she liked herself and her cousin Liu Shenyan like she loved her eldest brother Liu Wenqing.

But now it's different, now she is pregnant in October but her daughter Liu Ruzhao, who is not very loved, has become the queen mother of the world, and she regrets that she is not right

The Queen Mother said: "Mother, Your Majesty rarely has such fun with Sisi, so let them play a little longer." ”

Today is different from the past, although the woman sitting on the phoenix chair is her biological daughter, she is no longer the daughter who can only obey her in the Liu Mansion, but the queen mother of the world, what she said cannot be refuted, "What the queen mother said is that the emperor is indeed having a good time." ”
