There were several palace maids in colorful clothes standing in front of the palace, which were particularly dazzling in the snow, but the first one was only wearing a dark dress, and it was Mo Zuosi, who had sent the soup to the Fenghe Courtyard earlier, to greet him.

Ji Shen took Mu Bi to get down the emperor's chariot, and Mo Zuosi's brows wrinkled unconsciously when he saw this, but fortunately, the subsequent Wang Yuan and Ji Shen's special gift to Nie Yuansheng also stopped, and when he saw the king of Guangling, Xu was influenced by the Empress Dowager Gao, Mo Zuosi's face softened, and he saluted, and said, "Why did Your Majesty come here today?" ”

"There's something I want to ask my mother." Although Mo Zuosi was also kicked out of the Jique Palace, she was the arm of the Empress Dowager Gao, and now she was no longer in Jique, Ji Shen didn't give her a special look, and said, "Is the queen mother busy now?" ”

Mo Zuosi didn't know what a few people meant, and saw Mu Biwei following, and Ren Jishen, who was still very generous, held his hand, frowned again, and said lightly: "Back to Your Majesty's words, Concubine Wen came over and was talking to the Queen Mother about the embroidered screen presented by the Lord of Yuyang County a few days ago. ”

Ji Shen sighed and said, "Can Aiyang actually embroider a screen?" ”

King Guangling and Nie Yuansheng both walked to his side, and when they heard this, Ji Xi smiled and said, "Your Majesty forgot?" The year before last Ai Yang's birthday, His Majesty gave a fine embroidery, Ai Yang saw the envy, turned back to her mother for her to ask the embroidery mother to teach, the queen mother also persuaded her not to be tired of her eyes, now I am afraid that it is finally embroidered finished product, so I can't wait to offer it to the queen mother. ”

Ji Shen thought about it for a while but remembered it, and said with a smile: "I still think of her as a child's nature, but I don't want her to take it seriously." "He is now empty under his knees, although he feels that he is in his prime, and he is not very concerned about his heirs, but he still has some concern for his nephews and nieces. The son is lively and generous, and she is also born with Yuxue cute, because the eldest daughter died young, there is only one surviving child, the eldest princess of Xuanning, and the granddaughter of King Anping only has a concubine, so the Empress Dowager Gao naturally doesn't look down on her, so she has always loved her, and even Ji Shen has a deeper impression of this niece than other younger generations.

At this time, Ji Shen asked Ji Xi with a smile: "Since the second brother has entered the palace, why don't you bring Aiyang with you?" ”

"The princess had a headache yesterday, and Aiyang wants to keep the decoction." Ji Xi explained reasonably, saying, "Besides, the weather is still cold now, and I am worried that I will pass the illness on the queen mother." ”

The two brothers were talking as they marched into the Heyi Hall.

And the palace in the former Wei and this dynasty are the queen mother's residence, luxury needless to say, but at first glance, but only feel simple, almost the previous dynasty of those pay attention to the simplicity of the return to the true Gaoshi residence, a place and a brick are not decorated, the furnishings are not much, compared to the Xuanshu Hall is not even far away, but to observe carefully, you can see the elegance in the simplicity and the luxury of the bones - with Mu Biwei's eyesight, a bottle at the corner of the hurried glance of the style, Fang was surprised to find that the previous dynasty made a unique product, If everything in the palace is of this level, even if it is royal, it can be regarded as the most precious palace in the palace.

Mo Zuosi, who led the way, picked up the curtain with his own hands, and the warm fragrance in it immediately floated in, but he saw that above the spacious and bright hall, there was a six-fold crane boy glass inlaid bead screen at the bottom of the hall, and in front of the screen was a brocade couch with pearls inlaid with pearls of a golden silk nan wood carving hundred birds and phoenixes, and a small table of red sandalwood was placed in the middle of the couch, and two women in Chinese clothes sat a few times apart, and an embroidered screen was placed on the table that was only one foot high.

Mu Biwei quietly glanced at Xindao, it turned out to be just a small screen, but even so, as the county lord of Aiyang, it is not bad to be able to embroider such a screen at a young age, even if she is now embroidery, she is also extremely ordinary.

Ji Shen and his entourage entered the hall to salute, and the woman in the amber flower and bird longevity pattern palace dress was about to get up, but the woman wearing the silver Zhu Ruijin placket palace dress opposite her made a look, pointed to the small screen and said with a smile: "You see how much spirit this magpie embroiders, it is strange that Aiyang grinded the few Ruixia brocade horses of the mourning family, and it was to make up for it like this!" ”

Hearing her claim to be a mourning family, and deliberately snubbing Ji Shen, Mu Bi said in her heart that this person is undoubtedly the Empress Dowager Gao, she lowered her head slightly as if she was concentrating on looking at the embroidery screen in front of her, but seeing that although she was old, she could vaguely see the beautiful outline of her youth, especially her graceful and luxurious bearing, which was very different from ordinary people. From this point of view, the one who can sit on an equal footing with the Empress Dowager Gao is probably the Concubine Wen who gave birth to Gaoyang Wang Jizhao and is rumored to have a very good relationship with the Empress Dowager Gao.

But seeing that Concubine Wen patted the back of the Empress Dowager Gao's hand kindly, she smiled and said: "The lord of Aiyang County is naturally smart and beautiful, and he embroidered the screen at a young age, and it is even more rare to have filial piety. As he spoke, he pursed his lips and glanced at His Highness with a smile, and quipped, "Your Majesty is afraid that you will not be as good as the county lord in the future!" ”

Mu Bi is slightly one step behind Ji Shen, although Ji Shen covers her vision a little, but you can see that although the color of this concubine's dress is dark and plain, but her appearance is still pretty and indescribable, the appearance of the pouting smile is pretty and lovely, and the charm is better than the girl, I want to come to Concubine Wen gave birth to King Gaoyang, and she is always more than thirty years old, but she is only thirty years old.

was mentioned by Concubine Wen Ji Shen, Empress Dowager Gao didn't continue to pretend that she didn't see her two sons had entered the palace, she really had a good relationship with Concubine Wen, but she didn't get angry, but just glanced at her, then she looked away, looked at His Highness lukewarmly, and said lightly: "Why is the emperor here?" Seeing that King Guangling's face was also better, he said, "Erlang, you have been sick a few days ago, but now you are getting better?" If not, why get up? ”

Ji Shen smiled and saluted, and said straight to the point: "Since the queen mother and Concubine Wen are looking at the embroidery screen, the child should not be disturbed, but the second brother specially entered the palace for the eldest brother's affairs, and the child thought that the queen mother should be in charge of this matter, so he brought the second brother over, but it disturbed the interest of the queen mother and Concubine Wen." ”

"Don't talk about it if you're not interested." Empress Dowager Gao's gaze swept over him and fell on Mu Biwei, then looked at Nie Yuansheng again, and still said lightly, "Since it is your eldest brother and second brother's matter, I think it's a family matter?" Why did you bring outsiders here? ”

"If this matter needs to be edicted for a while, it will not be sent to pass on the original life." Ji Shen first explained the reason why Nie Yuan was born, and said with a smile, "This is Mu Qingyi, now Xiao Qingyi and Song Qingyi have returned to serve the queen mother, and the child is naturally a servant of Mu Qingyi." ”

Empress Dowager Gao glanced at Mu Biwei lightly, her gaze indifferent.
