Gu Yuxuan's accusation did not make Gu Xueqi feel distressed, but laughed with Su Jinyao.

The three girls laughed briskly in the carriage, but they seemed to be much more cheerful along the way, and the road to the palace seemed to be much closer.

When the carriage stopped, the three girls were very energetic, and they were still smiling and grinning, which looked extremely festive.

Mrs. Gu got out of the carriage and looked back to see three delicate girls who were like flowers and jade, and her heart was also filled with joy. She also felt that it seemed that after Jinyao came, the relationship between the sisters was really good.

In the past, Gu Xueqi had a peaceful and gentle temperament, and she had leg problems, even if Gu Yuxuan was looking for her sister to frolic, she couldn't play much.

Even if everyone's ladies should be as stable and quiet as Gu Xueqi, Mrs. Gu still thinks that it is nothing for the girl in the boudoir to be a little more lively. So she has never restrained Yuxuan's temperament, and hopes that Xueqi can be happy together.

Now with the addition of Jin Yao, everything is a very good performance, which makes Mrs. Gu really feel at ease.

Outside the palace gate, Aunt Ma was already waiting for her, as she said yesterday.

Horse-drawn carriages are not allowed to run in the palace, but a few taels of sheep carts have been prepared to wait. Su Jinyao and the others are nothing, so they can't let Mrs. Gu, a first-class lady, follow all the way to the Queen Mother's Yining Palace.

Every two people sat in a sheep cart, and Mrs. Gu pulled Su Jinyao to sit with her. After all, Su Jinyao is the protagonist today, and Su Jinyao also knows it, so she didn't shirk.

Aunt Ma's sheep cart opened the road in front, and behind it was the sheep cart where Gu Xueqi and Gu Yuxuan were sitting. There are dozens of palace maids and eunuchs behind, which can be regarded as a mighty team.

Sitting on the sheep cart, the big white sheep pulling the cart "kicking and tapping" walked very steadily, and the bell on the neck was also tinkling, which made people feel a little comfortable.

Mrs. Gu gently took Su Jinyao's hand and said in a low voice: "Don't be nervous when you see the Queen Mother for a while, after all, you have seen it." However, the queen is also there, so don't forget to pay respects. ”

The queen is not in good health, so she basically doesn't manage the affairs of the harem, and most of the time it is the queen mother who manages the harem.

However, for something like the prince's wedding, the queen must also be present. Therefore, the queen will definitely go to the Queen Mother's Yining Palace, which is needless to say and the simplest truth.

Su Jinyao didn't feel nervous anymore after yesterday's Gua Jin ceremony. In fact, yesterday was just because I cared too much about that solemn moment, and my thoughts fluctuated in my heart.

She has always envied other girls for having an ordinary, ordinary and normal life. She also wants to spend the New Year together as a family, and someone can prepare a coming-of-age ceremony for her.

It's just that I didn't get anything in my previous life, but I realized it in this life and in this wonderful ancient world.

And now entering the palace this time can be said to be a logical thing, so Su Jinyao is not worried at all.

It's not that Su Jinyao looks down on the identity of the crown princess, but she has always been convinced that she is not marrying this palace, not for the position of the crown princess, only because the other party is Gu Xuebin, she will agree.

So as long as Gu Xuebin nodded, she didn't care who she met with, what her identity was, and how to place her. Those are all external factors, which can be regarded as a kind of matching or bundling consumption.

Of course, if someone who covets the position of the crown princess knows, Su Jinyao actually treats this as a bundle of consumption, and she doesn't care about it, and she doesn't know how she feels.

Sheep carts

Of course, the speed is not as fast as the carriage, and there are many unfriendly attendants behind him, and it is impossible to run all the way in the palace. Therefore, after walking for a while, I saw the palace wall of Yining Palace.

Gu Xueqi and Su Jinyao had both lived here, so they didn't feel much surprised. However, Gu Yuxuan is still young, and the number of times he has entered the palace is actually not too much, and he has never lived, so he seems very happy.

The sheep cart stopped, and some palace maids came out of it, lined up on both sides to greet them.

Looking at this battle, it is estimated that when Mrs. Gu came over in the past, there would not have been such a big pomp.

Mrs. Gu patted Su Jinyao's hand again and gave her a warm smile. But Su Jinyao could see that Mrs. Gu also seemed to be a little nervous.

It's right to think about it, it's interesting to have a family with the royal family.

Aunt Ma got out of the car in front, and some palace maids came over to help Mrs. Gu and Su Jinyao get out of the car respectively. Only then did everyone follow Aunt Ma and continue to walk inside.

At this time, Yining Palace is also red silk fluttering, colorful lanterns are hanging high, which should be prepared for the New Year, and it is very festive.

However, probably because today's day is special, the decoration looks a little more grand.

Su Jinyao walked beside Mrs. Gu, she was not used to supporting others, so she was half a step behind and walked behind Mrs. Gu, which could be regarded as a sign of courtesy.

Mrs. Gu smiled back, reached out and took Su Jinyao's hand again, and pulled her side by side.

Su Jinyao sighed in her heart, it seems that Mrs. Gu cares a lot about her future identity. I don't know if after the real wedding, will the Gu family see her?

Thinking about it, he has already entered Yining Palace. Only then did Su Jinyao realize that there were many more maids in Yining Palace today than usual, and there were some that she didn't know at all.

But think about it again, it should be the attendant brought by the queen mother.

When she got here, Aunt Ma didn't lead the way anymore. Instead, he went in first. So when they came to the door, Mrs. Gu and Su Jinyao paused for a while, waiting for the news of the summons from inside.

Even if it's a pre-determined thing, the rules still have to be followed. Whether it was Mrs. Gu or Su Jinyao, there was no reason to break in directly.

However, after standing still for a moment, Aunt Ma and the Aunt Lian who gave Su Jinyao a gift together yesterday all came out and said, "Please Mrs. Gu, please Miss Gu." ”

Then the people went in. But further inside, through a pearl curtain, Gu Xueqi and Gu Yuxuan stood still and did not go further inside. And Su Jinyao walked in with Mrs. Gu.

After coming in, as usual, she had to pay a salute, and Mrs. Gu had to kneel, and Su Jinyao had to follow her.

However, the queen mother immediately said, "Flat, sit", and a palace maid helped Mrs. Gu and Su Jinyao up.

It's just that due to etiquette, Su Jinyao always hangs her head. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see two people sitting on the upper seat in the center, one was the queen mother unintentionally, and the other should be the queen mother.

But at this angle, she can only see half of the queen's purple skirt, and as for what this queen lady looks like, she can't see it at all.

And the queen mother spoke, but the queen mother never spoke, and I don't know if she was really sick and didn't have the strength to speak, or was she ...... Disdainful to speak?

Intuition is wrong?

Disdainful to speak? Su Jinyao suddenly had this thought, and her heart immediately stagnated. She had always trusted her instincts, but was this instinct too sudden and strange today?

You know, she has never seen this frail and sickly queen mother. Will a person you have never met have any effect on you?

But the more she pondered about this feeling, the more real it became, making it difficult for Su Jinyao to tell what was going on for a while.

Su Jinyao's thoughts only flashed before she heard the queen mother sitting on the top speak: "Jinyao girl, why don't you talk with your head stuffy?" I used to hear you call me grandmother and grandmother, and you called me very kindly. ”

Su Jinyao quickly retracted her thoughts and hurriedly said, "Yes." When her grandmother and grandmother asked, Jinyao was able to answer, and she didn't dare to make a mistake. It's the New Year soon, I'll give you a good greeting, and say goodbye to the early years? Jin Yao wishes her grandmother and grandmother peace and joy, a thousand years old. ”

"Haha" The Queen Mother laughed, and continued: "The little girl has a sweet mouth. Come, I want to pay New Year's greetings to the queen, and the queen has gifts for you. ”

"Yes. Jinyao also gave the queen a New Year's greeting. I wish the queen a healthy body and a long period of happiness. Su Jinyao gathered all her doubts, with a smile on her face, got up and leaned over to salute.

"Well, she is indeed a beautiful and well-behaved girl." The queen mother finally spoke, her voice was not loud, it sounded weak, but it was not that kind of smack, but it was really a little panting weakly.

"Queen Xie praised." Su Jinyao said, blessed her body again, but still didn't look up.

It's not that Su Jinyao doesn't want to see this queen, but she always feels unsteady in her heart, and she can't guess what reason she has.

But the queen said: "Thank you, thank you, come and get the gift yourself." Come closer, and I'll take a good look at you. My eyes are not very good anymore, and I can't see things far away. ”

Hearing what the queen mother said, Su Jinyao raised her head slightly. But he still kept his eyebrows polite and looked downward. But she didn't rush forward, hesitated, and still stood still.

Mrs. Gu, who was standing beside Su Jinyao, said, "Jinyao, the queen asked you to come closer, so you can go." ”

When the queen mother heard this, she also smiled and said, "Yes, why is Jinyao still outside?" I used to live in my Yining Palace, and I used to come and go. ”

Only then did Su Jinyao take a step forward and slowly walked forward. And the grandmother named Lian Gu also came over at this time, which can be regarded as guiding Su Jinyao and bringing Su Jinyao to the queen.

At this time, Su Jinyao could already fully see the appearance of the queen. Even if she can't raise her head proudly, after all, she is standing, and the queen is sitting.

Su Jinyao looked at each other, and the queen looked up, the two of them were still about four or five steps away, but they could see each other clearly.

This queen is not very beautiful, but she gives people a very gentle feeling. It should belong to the kind of beauty at second sight.,The more you look at it, the more you feel the kind of woman who has a taste.。

And the queen's face looks soft and warm, not the kind of small melon seeds and pointed chin, it is said to have a kind of roundness and richness that the ancients liked the most. It's not fat, it's just the full moon face shape of the heavenly court.

This kind of woman is the most admired "Wangfu Xiang" by the ancients. Seen the emperor

Hou Niangniang, Su Jinyao can also understand why this woman has no heirs and has nothing, but she has been able to sit in the position of the queen for so many years.

This kind of blessed woman should be the mother of the world in the obsession of the ancients.

But at this time, she was closer to the queen, and Su Jinyao suddenly felt that the queen's face was a little familiar.

But if you think about it carefully, you can't think of who she looks like like. But Su Jinyao can be sure that it is a person she has seen.

Seeing that Su Jinyao never spoke, no matter how she looked at it, she was well-behaved and weak, so she bowed slightly to Su Jinyao and stretched out her hand, apparently to pull Su Jinyao to her side.

Su Jinyao hurriedly took a few steps closer, thought about it, stretched out her left hand, and held the hand that the queen stretched out to her.

This is a kind of respect and love for the elders of the younger generation, and the meaning of reaching out to each other. Appears to be humble and sensible.

But as soon as Su Jinyao's hand and the queen's hand touched lightly, Su Jinyao's fingertips stiffened. Not because of nervousness or anything else, just because of the cold.

The queen's hands are very cold, and they can even be described as cold. Even if Su Jinyao touched the queen's palm, she didn't even have a trace of warmth in her palm.

Su Jinyao held back all her surprise. made himself appear peaceful without the slightest fluctuation, still held the queen's hand, slowly took another step forward, and stood in front of the queen uprightly.

Su Jinyao concealed this little surprise very well, and she believed that no one could see it.

Because with the training she has undergone, even a zombie who stands up from the pile of dead people will not touch her nerves and make her have any surprises.

Su Jinyao handed over her left hand to the queen, and naturally revealed a pair of pink and clear hibiscus bracelets.

After the hibiscus jade collided, it made a crisp sound, and the queen's eyes fell on the snow-white, slender and soft Hao wrist. couldn't help but praise, "This hibiscus bracelet is on Jinyao's hand, it's really good-looking and tight." ”

With that, the queen beckoned to Aunt Lian again. There was no need for the queen to say more, Aunt Lian came up with a delicate box, which looked like it was dressed for jewelry.

The queen smiled and patted Su Jinyao's hand before letting go.

Then he took the box in person and said, "Knowing that Jin Yao is coming, I picked and chose for a while yesterday." These are all rewarded by the emperor when there was a tribute in previous years, and I can't wear them, so it's a pity to let them go, so I'll pass them on to Jin Yao. ”

Su Jinyao respectfully stretched out her hand to take it, and then said, "Jinyao thanked the queen for her generous gift. ”

Su Jinyao took the things, and Aunt Ma came up, helped Su Jinyao take them, and handed them to a maid standing behind Mrs. Gu.

The queen mother also smiled and said: "The queen has given this gift, and the mourning family has also prepared one here." Jinyao, come here, let's see if it's written on it. ”

Su Jinyao agreed, and then walked towards the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother took out a bright yellow satin framed scroll from the wooden box beside her and handed it to Aunt Ma who came over.

Aunt Ma sent the scroll of the yellow joke to Su Jinyao, and without Su Jinyao taking over, she directly unfolded the scroll.

Su Jinyao's breathing suddenly became a little sluggish, and seeing that the content on it was getting clearer and clearer, it still made her heart beat irregularly.

Piety in the heart

What unfolded in front of Su Jinyao was a decree of the Queen Mother's marriage. It is clearly written the Cang clan, the crown prince Che and the Gu clan, and the Ya ......

It is indeed the names of Gu Xuebin and Su Jinyao written on it, and they have been replaced with ancient surnames, but there is no doubt that she is still her.

Obviously, she was not so nervous in her heart, but the moment she saw this will, Su Jinyao actually had a feeling that her eyes were astringent and her vision was blurred.

When she was a little later, she knew that she had identified Gu Xuebin in her heart. Uncle also said that he agreed that Gu Xuebin would be with him.

But at that time, Su Jinyao thought that as long as she got her uncle's permission, even with the blessing and permission of her family, she and Gu Xuebin could be together.

It's just that she didn't expect that after going through so many and going through one procedure after another, she got the real intention of marriage.

"Miss Jinyao, the birthday on this, right?" Aunt Ma saw Su Jinyao staring down at this decree, but she was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but remind in a whisper.

The Empress Dowager also heard it, sighed softly, and said, "Miss Jinyao, only your mother remembers your birthday best, and the Gu family only knows a rough idea." So this decree has been drafted, and I think you should have read it yourself. After all, this birthday post is not sloppy. ”

Su Jinyao came back to her senses at this time, glanced at the place where her birth date was written, nodded and said, "Yes, that's right." My mother left a medical book codex with my birth date written clearly. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she seemed to be relieved, and then nodded at Aunt Ma.

Aunt Ma understood, took Yi Zhi back to the small table beside the Queen Mother, and took another small box from the side, opened the lid of the box, and held it in front of the Queen Mother with both hands.

Su Jinyao stood still, and saw the queen mother take out a jade seal from the delicate small box.

Another palace maid immediately stepped forward, holding a cinnabar seal clay in both hands and sending it to the queen mother.

After that, the jade seal was full of vermilion ink, and with a muffled sound of "pop", it was clearly printed on the bright yellow edict.

Su Jinyao's heart also loosened at that moment and put it back in place.

She didn't know why her palms were sweaty, why her eyes were moist, why there were all the vermilion marks in front of her eyes at this time, and some fragments of what she and Gu Xuebin walked through together.

Aunt Ma picked up Yizhi again and sent it to the queen. The queen mother looked at it and nodded slightly towards the queen mother.

This time, it was Aunt Lian who held another jade seal, and the jade seal of the queen mother was also stamped on the decree.

Su Jinyao's eyes were beating all the brilliant yellow and dazzling red, and her heart was full of inextricable feelings, but she couldn't grasp what it felt.
