After the Double Ninth Festival, it rained heavily in the capital for half a month.

The rain is constantly washing over the land, and it seems that there is no sign of stopping.

After the autumn, the rain never stopped, and it rained until the cold winter wax moon.

After the winter solstice, the rain gradually stopped.

However, at this time, the capital has reached the point where the water has turned into ice.

In the Empress Dowager Xie's Cining Palace, the earth dragon was burned early.

Empress Dowager Xie Yuanjun is the wife of the former emperor Renzong.

From the first-class family in the capital, the Marquis of Guangning's mansion, is the daughter of the Marquis of Guangning.

The first emperor Renzong had just been gone for half a year, and although Xie was the queen mother, he was still wearing a white plain robe, and he was sitting on the kang in the warm pavilion with his eyes down, embroidering the gray-white big coat in his hand that was ready to be sent out.

The leather used in Dayu is the brother of the Queen Mother a few days ago, and Xie Ping, the current Marquis of Guangping, sent someone into the palace, which is a piece of fine silver fox skin.

Knowing that the Queen Mother had sent Mama Qin, who was serving her closely, out these days, she spent a lot of money to find a good piece of leather.

In order to tie up with the Empress Dowager, the Marquis of Guangning finally got this good silver fox skin, and sent it to the palace.

At this time, Mama Qin, who was waiting closely by the Queen Mother's side, took a bowl of steaming ginseng soup in her hand and entered the warm pavilion.

Mama Qin is the queen mother's family, and she married in from the Marquis of Guangning with the queen mother.

"Mother, you've been doing needlework for so long, and your eyes have never been very good, so let's rest! There is still a month before the general returns to the court, in case you hurt your eyes again, Your Majesty asked, but the old slave is guilty. ”

When the first emperor Renzong was in control of Bintian, the queen mother cried bitterly, washed her face with tears all day long, and almost cried blind a pair of eyes.

Although I didn't cry and blind my eyes, I still hurt my eyes in the end, and I couldn't do extremely delicate work such as embroidery for a long time.

Mama Qin is the body of the Queen Mother, so she naturally has to focus on the Queen Mother's phoenix body.

"Mother, you better rest! The old slave heard that yesterday, the Qi Wangfu had sent clothes to the general to avoid the cold, and I want to send you this one at hand. ”

The general in Mama Qin's mouth is Chen Xiao, the nephew of Empress Dowager Xie, the only son of King Qi and Princess Qi.

General Chen and his aunt, the Queen Mother, have a great relationship, because of General Chen's appearance, he was born differently from his biological mother, Princess Qi, but he is somewhat similar to our Queen Mother.

Therefore, the Queen Mother has also been quite fond of the general over the years.

attracted people inside and outside the palace to constantly speculate, thinking that the general was the biological son of the queen mother.

And the biological son of the Queen Mother, except for three days in January, came to Cining Palace, and did not come at other times.

There have been rumors in the palace that the Queen Mother and Her Majesty have not been on good terms for a long time.

Mama Qin is the Empress Dowager Xie's personal person, so she has to worry more about the Empress Dowager.

Empress Dowager Xie raised her head, looked in the direction of Mama Qin, and glanced lightly.

"Who said that this piece of Dayu was prepared for the general by the mourning family?"

Empress Dowager Xie asked such a question, and Mama Qin didn't dare to talk, so she could only lower her head.

Empress Dowager Xie was told this by Mama Qin, put down the half-healed big dan in her hand, and her eyes fell on the small table beside her.

On the top of the small table, a bunch of posts were neatly placed, these posts were all posts that Empress Dowager Xie sent Mama Qin a few days ago to look for the ladies of the right age in the capital.

Empress Dowager Xie just glanced at it a few times, and only praised Mama Qin in her heart for being able to do things, Qi Yue, the third girl of the Duke of Qi, Fang Min, the fifth girl of the Duke of Zhenguo, and Chen Hui, the little lord of the Pingkang County Palace, are all good ladies in Beijing.

Empress Dowager Xie has a very good impression of these three girls, but I don't know, in the end, Xiao'er, will she like these three girls?

If you don't like it, just ask the celebrant to go down and pick some good ones for her.

She is still more at ease when she does things safely.

Peace, the chief eunuch of the celebrant seal.

One of Empress Dowager Xie's henchmen.

The reason why Empress Dowager Xie has been able to firmly control the harem over the years is due to the general manager of peace.

Mama Qin helped the Empress Dowager Xie look at the posts on the top of the small table, and the Empress Dowager instructed her to help find a suitable candidate for the general.

These days, she is constantly picking and choosing candidates to send to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is always dissatisfied.

However, there are also a few satisfactory candidates, the Duke of Qi, the Duke of Zhenguo, and the Wangfu of Pingkang County.

The first emperor has just been gone for more than half a year, and the queen mother has been sad for most of the year, but the big sword in the hands of the queen mother, if it is not made for the general, is it possible that it is made for the first emperor?

But when the first emperor was alive, he never liked the queen mother to do these things?

I don't know what the Queen Mother is doing this?

Mama Qin speculated in her heart for a long time, but she never came up with anything.

The Queen Mother is smarter than her, what does the Queen Mother think in her heart, and what can she understand as an old woman who serves people.

It's still better not to ask!

lest you offend the Queen Mother again.

Seeing that Mama Qin was interested, Empress Dowager Xie stopped talking, smiled with satisfaction on her face, and continued to look at the post in her hand.

The little county lord of Pingkang County's palace grew up with the general, and he and Xiao Er have a childhood sweetheart.

It would be great if we could be together. I just don't know how His Majesty sees it?

Or ask someone to send a copy to the imperial study, and she will also listen to what the emperor means.

Empress Dowager Xie sent Mama Qin to send a post to the imperial study, and there were palace people here to go back and forth, saying that Princess Qi had arrived, but I don't know if the Empress Dowager can see it?

Princess Qi has arrived?

It's good and dignified, it's not a year or a festival, what do you do when you enter the palace in Yuanqiu?

Empress Dowager Xie instructed the palace maid Snow Goose to take away the big piece on the top of the small table, and went to invite Princess Qi in.

After Xue Yan took away the big piece on the small table, Xue Yan invited Princess Qi into the palace.

King Qi was the younger brother of the first emperor.

Princess Xie Yuanqiu of Qi is the half-sister of Empress Dowager Xie.

Although there is a difference between the concubines, the relationship between the Empress Dowager Xie and this concubine has always been good.

Including the marriage between her and King Qi, it was the matchmaker of Empress Dowager Xie at the beginning.

It is not only to enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother, but the dress of Princess Qi is very grand.

Princess Qi wore a royal blue Huahu gown, combed a round bun, and hairpins with a pair of gold and silver inlaid treasures Qingyun Yongfu hairpin, and a red gold peony inlaid jasper glass tassel hairpin.

Princess Qi is over forty years old this year, and her face still looks like when she was seventeen or eighteen years old.

In the past, when Empress Dowager Xie saw her, she always had to praise her for her beauty.

Now that Empress Dowager Xie has seen her, for some reason, she is faintly uneasy in her heart.

As soon as Princess Qi entered the warm pavilion, she gave Empress Dowager Xie a blessing, and sat on the embroidered pier that the palace maid had prepared.

Although Princess Qi is said to be the concubine of Empress Dowager Xie.

But in terms of appearance, especially between the eyebrows and eyes, there are still some similarities.

The morning sun shone on Princess Qi's body, reflecting her golden brilliance, like a fairy in the sky.

Empress Dowager Xie is only two years old when Princess Qi is older, Princess Qi looks like a bright person, Empress Dowager Xie looks a little lifeless on her face, and the are half old.

"Why did you think about entering the palace today? But the imperial concubine, you are angry with you in the mansion again?"
