Volume 2 Ancient Copies Chapter 48 The Queen Mother is invited
Li Ruoqing asked Xiang Ziyan again: "When did you meet it?" So what's going on? β
Zi Yan: "I was only 12 years old that year, and my lord had just established a mansion, and my wife hadn't started yet." There is a Nanwang Ji, who is really a rare beauty, and she was sent by the Uighurs. The old man attaches great importance to it, and he is not satisfied, and he doesn't know what kind of big sin he has committed, the queen mother decreed, and Aunt Qing personally brought her into the palace, so she didn't see her come out, and there was no news, and no one dared to ask...... It is said that ......"
Before Zi Yan could finish speaking, Zi Juan stomped on her fiercely in the dark. At this time, Zi Yan noticed that Li Ruoqing was opening her mouth wide and looking at the mirror with a frightened face......
Zi Yan: "The slave and maid are speechless, the slave and the maid are speechless, don't be afraid, the girl is not afraid, it's okay, this time it is Aunt Cui who came, the slave and the maid are the guarantors, and it is absolutely fine." β
But Li Ruoqing was still panicked: What's the situation? I'm leaning on me, I'm leaning on me! The ruthless girl of the Queen Mother, who will arrest someone and have a quasi-child? I didn't bewitch the child, did I? This is going to arrest me in the palace and deal with it quietly, and my little life will be explained!! Xiang Xiaoyu died in this evil old society, it is really unreasonable! Woowoowoowoooo......oo Anyway, this boy was also infatuated with a beauty? You'll have to ask about it if you have a chance.
Is there a chance to do it???
Zijuan: "Girl? Girl? Don't listen to Zi Yan's nonsense. In this high-gate compound, there are always those rumors that add oil and vinegar. β
Zi Yan also knew the severity, and when she saw Li Ruoqing's expression, she hurriedly hugged her back and said, "Yes, yes, the slave maid also listened to the nonsense of the girls in the house, and there was no one who was accurate." Girl, don't take it to heart......"
Although the girls are trying their best to appease Li Ruoqing, she is still scared!
In the face of that Qi Rongruo, if she still dares to do nonsense, after all, men and women are matched, and there are different feelings, no matter what.
Same-sex repulsion, this queen mother...... I'm afraid you can't take it lightly, right?
"Xuan~~~ In accordance with the decree of the Queen Mother, Princess Amestone of Persia, diligent and submissive, dignified and virtuous, respectful and prudent, the mourning family is very pleased, a piece of gold jade clothes, a set of white jade lotus utensils, two handles of the emperor's jade Ruyi, a thousand taels of gold, and this ......"
Aunt Cui's announcement, the people kneeling in the courtyard were very surprised, only Li Ruoqing, who was wrapped in a gorgeous dress like a tribute, was stunned, and didn't know how to respond.
Mainly after many months, she completely forgot about her Persian name, and she didn't react to the Queen Mother's generous reward for a while.
Zijuan was in front of Aunt Cui, and she didn't dare to go over to remind Li Ruoqing, she was happy and anxious on the other. The girl who was carried away by the reward should be grateful at this moment!!
Aunt Cui looked at Li Ruoqing, who was confused, and said with a kind smile: "Princess, do you receive the decree of gratitude?" "It is estimated that this foreign girl does not follow the rules, it should be known all over the city, after all, people who do not bow to the prince are the best among the outliers in this Dashun Dynasty.
Hearing Aunt Cui's gentle smile, Li Ruoqing hurriedly reacted from the shock, endured the knees that were already kneeling, and said in a panic: "Minnu...... Grass Folk ...... Slave, no, ahem, I receive the order to thank you......"
She doesn't know how to call herself, whatever...... It looks like a happy event, and I can't lose my head!
Aunt Cui said with a loving smile on her face: "The princess is not familiar with my courtly etiquette, and it is understandable that there is no hindrance." The Minister of Etiquette of the Persian royal family, not appointed by our dynasty, the prince has already told the emperor and the queen mother, you don't need to be alarmed. You can call yourself a 'concubine', and if you don't understand the place in the future, the slave will try her best to help you tell it. As he spoke, he pulled up Li Ruoqing, who was kneeling on the ground, deliberately supported her waist, and carefully flicked the dust on Li Ruoqing's skirt with a silk handkerchief......
Zijuan and the others were originally nervous, but when they saw Aunt Cui's attitude, they swallowed back the little heart that was about to spit out.
Li Ruoqing kept thinking in her heart: What is the situation? What's going on? What's my name? Why do you give me a reward? Is there gold? How much RMB? Why pinch, why pinch? It's not the money to buy my head, is it??
Aunt Cui looked at Li Ruoqing like a fleshless puppet, and she still stood still standing when she helped her up, and could only say gently: "Princess, the Queen Mother, please follow the slave into the palace to thank you." β
Although the words were gentle, they still hit Li Ruoqing's head with a "click"!
Only then did she come to her senses: That's right, give a sweet date first, and get it into the palace is the goal.
Zijuan and Zi Yan hurriedly took the arm handed over by Aunt Cui, yes, it was the dumb Li Ruoqing's arm that was handed over.
Li Ruoqing forced herself to be sober and replied decently: "The concubine will follow the will of the Queen Mother, and after changing her clothes, she will immediately enter the palace with her aunt." Please ask my aunt to have a cup of tea, and wait a moment. β
Aunt Cui made a regular salute to Li Ruoqing, and nodded on her knees: "Yes, the slave obeys." Then he smiled and followed Ping'er to the side room reception room, and continued to praise Ruoqingxuan's decoration and furnishings.
That's not it, this Ruoqing Xuan, which was picked up by Li Ruoqing little by little, is very exquisite. Even the reception room in the side room is full of light-colored pear blossom wood tables, chairs, bookshelves, multi-treasure pavilions, elegant and beautiful beauty landscapes, and a few idle poems written by Qi Rongruo himself.
Neither vulgar landscape paintings, nor rich and colorful beauty pictures, the warehouse searched for a while to find the display she was satisfied with. It's not the work of celebrities, others disdain it, but after Li Ruoqing's operation, it actually reveals a unique charm.
On the other hand, Li Ruoqing, she didn't have time to think about how attractive her yard was, but she had a beautiful head of pearls and jade, and her neck was about to be broken. This is a ring, a brocade dress, and she can't move into the palace.
Zijuan and Ziyan, hurriedly followed Li Ruoqing's instructions, changed into light-colored and brisk elegant skirts, removed the complicated decorations on their heads, removed the complex and luxurious concubine bun, and replaced them with Li Ruoqing's favorite Chaoyun near fragrant bun, a few flawless pure white pearls embellishment, and a little emerald step shake sent by Qi Rongruo, OK!
That's it, Li Ruoqing doesn't want to enter the palace so grandly, in case she is imprisoned in a prison or thrown into a cold palace, simple decorations and clothes are convenient for finding opportunities to run away.
No, no, do you want to bring some gold and silver, in case you are locked up and need to be taken care of?
While thinking thoughtfully, Li Ruoqing quietly touched the place where the girls helped her release the broken silver......
This scene happened to be seen by Wen'er, who came in to deliver tea, and said in surprise: "The girl wants to reward Aunt Cui with silver?" β
Li Ruoqing threw the silver back in embarrassment, and pretended to say, "Yes, yes, my aunt is tired to come here, and I want to give a reward." Silver won't work, take some of the gold petals you set last time. β
Wen'er helped Zijuan smooth the newly made cotton cloak, and ran out briskly......
yes, I don't seem to be able to take bribes anymore. Do you want to re-appeal those valuable gold and silver jewelry?
γShou'an Palaceγ
On the way to Shou'an Palace, where the Queen Mother lived, Li Ruoqing was in a spacious, comfortable, and warm sedan chair full of down cushions, accompanied by Aunt Cui and a group of palace maids and father-in-law.
Originally, there were exquisite refreshments in the car, but Aunt Cui was outside the sedan chair, constantly instilling palace etiquette, and Li Ruoqing didn't have the heart to eat and drink at all.
She looked at the momentum, and it didn't seem like she wanted to dispose of her. Otherwise, the Queen Mother's henchman and aunt, why bother talking to her here?
Such a thick and soft cushion in the car is obviously not the style of the ancient people who are used to sleeping on hard beds and ceramic pillows, but it should be specially designed for Li Ruoqing, an old broken waist.
Is it appropriate to be so thoughtful? There is such a big thing in the back house, she can't get out of it, and the queen mother's round of operations really makes her unable to see through it.
Entering the conservatory next to the main hall of Shou'an Palace, she was stunned, and the gorgeous women in the room suddenly had two big heads, and they began to sweat profusely.
Moreover, Kong Xueying is actually there!
Li Ruoqing began to complain in her heart that Zijuan had dressed herself too much......
Li Ruoqing knelt down to the gorgeous woman who was surrounded by everyone like the sun, and said according to Aunt Cui's teaching: "Concubine Amestone, knock on the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother be a thousand years old, and may Persia and the Shun Dynasty be reconciled." β
Fortunately, she memorized her Persian name again, and it was so difficult to keep her head hundreds of years ago, woo woo woo woo......
The queen mother, who has a loving face, but a sharp light in her eyes, looks like she is in her 50s, and I don't know if it is too good for maintenance, or if she gave birth too early, the emperor is already in his mid-forties, isn't it his own? ?
Li Ruoqing's careful thinking, she really can't stop for a moment, this is the time for gossip?
There was silence in the room, Li Ruoqing endured the pain of her old waist, and waited for the queen mother to give an order......
Li Ruoqing counted silently in her heart, and when she counted to 10, the Queen Mother said slowly: "Get up, give the princess a seat, and add a soft waist cushion." β
Aunt Cui told her early on that the first time she saw the Queen Mother, there was a time limit for saluting, and she would not be allowed to get up when it was insufficient, although these ten seconds might be considered the most rudimentary, it still made Li Ruoqing feel like a century long.
At this time, Aunt Cui and Zijuan helped Li Ruoqing up together, Li Ruoqing had been cautious and restrained, and she didn't even dare to look up to see what kind of people were around.
Probably because of this imposter of his own, he bears the burden of bullying the king, and he has a ghost in his heart......
The Queen Mother said in a tone that was not very clear: "Raise your head and let the mourning family see!" β
Li Ruoqing's palms were sweating, but she still raised her head, met the eyes of the Queen Mother, and silently thought in her heart: Die, die, I, Li Ruoqing, will still be a good man after eighteen years!
Wrong wrong...... Still a good woman!
The Queen Mother looked at Li Ruoqing carefully, and Li Ruoqing looked at each other from a distance with the Queen Mother through the spacious space.
Li Ruoqing's slightly short-sighted eyes, looking carefully, can see the traces of time hidden by the Queen Mother under her delicate face.
In addition to Kong Xueying, the people around were also silently looking at Li Ruoqing. Such a demon, who emptied General Lingxiao's mansion, does he have three heads and six arms, or a fox tail?
