On September 19, the Empress Dowager's birthday was full of laughter and laughter in the palace.

Zuo Zhaoyi Qu arrived early with Princess Xiping and Ling Xianren with Princess Changkang, and when the Queen Mother saw her, she showed kindness on her face, beckoned and smiled: "Why did you come so early?" The mourning family still thinks that your temple is lively now, and I am afraid that it will take time to come. ”

"Originally, I thought I would come again, so as not to make trouble with the queen mother!" Qu smiled slightly, took Princess Xiping to salute, and then said, "I don't want to, Xiping didn't need to be urged this morning, so he got up early, and he picked out a dress and came over to urge me, saying that he was in a hurry to pay homage to the queen mother!" ”

As she spoke, Princess Xiping knelt down smartly, kowtowed seriously, and said loudly: "Granddaughter Yutong, I wish the emperor's grandmother a long and prosperous life!" He kowtowed again and said, "I also wish my Liang Guozuo, my father and all the concubines, and Yutong's younger brothers and sisters can have a long and happy reunion!" ”

Although the Empress Dowager Gao is not pleasing to Ji Shen's concubines, she loves her grandchildren and granddaughters, even if the eldest son of the emperor is now raised under her knees, this only prince is more precious than the princesses, but how to say, Xiping is also her blood and bones, and Xiping did not leave an inconsiderate impression on the Empress Dowager Gao like Princess Xintai, and now she sees her wearing a flowery life, and she said it like this, she is more and more happy, and she is busy calling left and right to help her up, call to her side, take her hand and say lovingly: "Xiping's mouth, But it's so sweet that the mourning family has a heart! ”

Concubine Wen also smiled softly beside her, and said: "I think that every word of Her Royal Highness the Princess is from the bottom of her heart, and her emotions are sincere, which makes people listen to it sweetly!" ”

"Your words are also sweet." Empress Dowager Gao glanced at her with a smile and said.

However, Princess Xiping is young now, even if these words were taught by the Qu family, from the mouth of her own granddaughter, it is especially comfortable, not to mention that Xiping is in order to pay homage to herself today, and she doesn't need to be called to get up, Queen Mother Gao pulled her left and right to look at the more she liked it, and couldn't help but put a string of glass beads on her wrist and gave it to her: "You are the earliest to come today, and the imperial grandmother will give you an extra good thing." ”

This string of glass hand beads is the Empress Dowager Gao's dowry that year, because these days Mrs. Wuyingjun often enters the palace, and she talked about the old things of the boudoir, the Empress Dowager Gao is full of emotion, so that the Song family looked for a long time to find out, although it may not be more expensive than she usually wears, but the meaning is far more than it.

Princess Xiping took it, but said sweetly: "What the imperial grandmother said is not right, the granddaughter is not the first to arrive!" ”

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Gao and Concubine Wen both laughed together, and Empress Dowager Gao said to Concubine Wen: "It's hard for this child to know that he has to honor his elders at a young age!" ”

Concubine Wen smiled and said: "The Queen Mother is talking about the younger generation, Your Highness can rest assured." ”

"Even the granddaughter of the grandchildren is not the first to arrive." Princess Xiping said, "Didn't the eldest brother arrive earlier than the granddaughter?" ”

"After the mother, the child will help his younger siblings to ask for rewards." Qu Shi smiled at His Royal Highness at this time, "In the past few days, I have given her all kinds of things, and each of them has asked for one for Changkang, that is, to eat, and she is also thinking about asking someone to write it down and wait for Changkang to eat when he is older, and now I have to prepare two servings of everything before I talk to her!" ”

Empress Dowager Gao was moved and said, "You like your younger brothers and sisters like this? Are they still young now? ”

I heard Princess Xiping say indifferently: "The mother said that the granddaughter is not big, the mother and the granddaughter said interesting things about her childhood, there are seven or eight cousins alone, and the elder brother and younger brother, that is, the cousins, the eldest uncle and the younger uncle, climb the tree to catch birds, go into the water to catch fish, the granddaughter listens to it, but the mother concubine said, these things have to be fun, the granddaughter is alone, that is, there are only two people who pull up the Xintai sister, but it is not interesting, so of course the granddaughter hopes that there will be more brothers and sisters, and grow up quickly, Let's have fun together! ”

Hearing her innocent and eager, Empress Dowager Gao stared for a moment before laughing again: "Good boy, after you said this, are you afraid that there will be no more younger brothers and sisters to play with you?" You are the eldest daughter of my royal family, and in the future, my younger brothers and sisters will all grow up with you, so you have to play with them! ”

Princess Xiping looked surprised, but then she became distressed again, and said: "Imperial grandmother, granddaughter knows that as the eldest sister, everything should be let by the younger brothers and sisters, and she should also be a role model for the younger brothers and sisters, but ...... Just ......"

Seeing that she suddenly expected Ai Ai, Empress Dowager Gao said curiously: "What's the matter? ”

Princess Xiping's face was slightly red, she looked back at Qu's family, and saw that she only smiled narrowly and did not answer, so she turned her head to the queen mother and said with shame: "The granddaughter's embroidery work is really not done, not only when I met the cousin of Aiyang, I asked her for advice, but also asked the embroidery lady in the palace, but I can't do it well, the mother felt sorry for the granddaughter before, and said don't do it, the imperial grandmother feels sorry for the granddaughter, and will not blame, but the granddaughter heard that the cousin of Aiyang embroidered the screen to the imperial grandmother a few years ago, and the granddaughter thought about it this time, she is not as good as the cousin of Aiyang, I just want to embroider something smaller, but I can't do it for a few days, this ...... In terms of embroidery, don't let your sisters learn from their granddaughters in the future? ”

Halfway through these words, Empress Dowager Gao and Concubine Wen both had smiles in their eyes, and when she finished speaking, they both laughed: "Yes, yes, since you are not good at it, then you don't have to learn, otherwise how can the imperial grandmother not feel distressed?" ”

Concubine Wen said again: "The time when the Lord of Aiyang County embroidered the screen was more than twice as old as His Royal Highness's current age, Your Highness will have this heart, and your imperial grandmother will be very happy!" ”

After waiting for more people, Princess Xiping obediently retired and returned to Qu's side to sit down obediently.

Empress Dowager Gao asked Concubine Wen in a low voice while exempting everyone from courtesy: "Are these words taught by the Mu family or the Qu family?" ”

"In my opinion, I'm afraid it's more Mu Guangyou." Concubine Wen said, "In the end, Princess Xiping is not Mu Guangyou's own child, and now Mu Guangyou is pregnant again, I think it is because Princess Xiping has raised her for these years, and now Mu Guangyou insists on giving birth in the palace, this is for fear that after a long separation, there will be estrangement between Princess Xiping, and then the mother and daughter will have a gap...... This is how to teach Princess Xiping to love her brothers and sisters in advance! ”

"Although the heart is a little selfish in the end, it is much better to have this heart than those good things that are only looking forward to their own birth." When Empress Dowager Gao heard this, she nodded slightly.

Concubine Wen smiled and said: "Since the Queen Mother praised Mu Guangyou's intentions, the other person's bearing cannot but praise. ”

Empress Dowager Gao heard that she meant to refer to Zuo Zhaoyi Qu's - of course, these words were taught by Mu Biwei, in the end, Xiping has been back for some days, where can I remember it for so long? I'm afraid it's the result of Mu Biwei's people around her to follow the mention, now Princess Xiping is raised under the knees of the Qu family, and she wants to teach the princess to say this in front of the queen mother, how can it be possible without the permission or acquiescence of the Qu family?

After a little hesitation, Empress Dowager Gao said lightly: "The young man's temperament is indeed very human. ”

Concubine Wen smiled calmly, as if she hadn't said anything, but she knew that Empress Dowager Gao was becoming more and more suspicious of Zuo Zhaoyi...... In the past, when there was no prince other than the eldest son of the emperor, Empress Dowager Gao would think that this was a good tutor of the Qu family, but now, she can't help but suspect that she is winning people's hearts......

Just as he was groaning, he saw a bright red at the door of the palace and proudly entered-it was the noble concubine Su who had arrived.

………………………………………………………………

Because the Queen Mother is not a full birthday this year, there is no big deal as usual, but the clan is reunited, and there are only a few relatives, Mrs. Wuyingjun and Mrs. Rongchang are naturally listed, and I don't know if it is because the princess of King Gaoyang has been decided, the Gao family will have a few little ladies and Xiaolangjun coming over, naturally, those who come are the kind that Ji Shen will not look at, so as not to have twists and turns in vain.

After celebrating the birthday, the queen mother ordered everyone not to be restrained, drink to their heart's content, and summoned the teaching workshop to sing and dance.

Xiping is not very interested in these, she has always been good with Aiyang, and when she explained it to Zuo Zhaoyi, she slipped out of the hall together, and Zuo Zhaoyi was busy asking people to follow.

When they got outside, the two of them were chattering, and Xiping talked to Ai Yang about the scene of his birthday greeting: "The emperor's grandmother promised me that I don't have to learn embroidery in the future, my cousin is really amazing, I get dizzy when I see those threads." ”

Ai Yang said proudly: "This method is okay? In fact, I embroidered it once, it was really hard to die, and I didn't embroider anymore! Who are we? It doesn't matter if these things will or not. The people who followed the county lord of Aiyang were busy and whispered to remind the county lord of Aiyang not to say bad things on the queen mother's birthday.

Here is whispering to persuade the county lord, and suddenly I heard someone in the distance as if someone also said the word death-but-"If Lang Jun pesters the slave and maid again, the slave and maid will only die on this rockery!" ”

Xiping's ears were sharp, and he immediately said, "I seem to have heard this voice?" ”

"Don't be embarrassed by which of the palace maids in the aunt's palace has drunk too much here, right?" Ai Yang was older, and immediately thought of the key to the matter, and said to Xiping, "Let's go and have a look." ”

The two walked to the vicinity where the voice came, and saw a palace maid wearing an apricot red palace dress and a colorful waist tie, but she was not too young, and was stopped under a rockery.

Seeing this palace maid, Xiping whispered to the county lord of Aiyang: "It's not the palace maid in Concubine Qu's palace." ”

Ai Yang asked, "Do you know each other?" ”

"It's like Concubine Ye's personal palace maid Yun Mengru." Xiping thought for a moment and whispered.

The two of them were muttering here, and the person who stopped Yun Mengru said lazily: "You palace maid is so rude, I just ask you to take me to a resting place, why don't you refuse?" ”

This person Xiping didn't know, but Ai Yang had seen it, and quietly bit his ear with Xiping and said, "Oh, why is he?" It's the eleventh lang of the Gao family, this person has always put . Rude, my mother told me to stay away from him, what now? ”

Xiping said: "He seems to be drunk. "It's called Fan's," you go over and take that Gao family eleven lang to rest. ”

This can be regarded as a relief for Yun Mengru, Yun Mengru has not spoken much to Princess Xiping because she entered the palace with a lot of heart, but Ye Hanxi often goes to Mu Biwei, she is a laughing and noisy sex. Zi, but she is familiar with Princess Xiping, and even the people around her are remembered by Xiping, and for Ye Hanxi's sake, she has the heart to relieve her.

Yun Mengru saw the Fan family coming, and also recognized that it was the grandmother beside Princess Xiping, and was immediately overjoyed: "This Lang Jun, someone has come to show you the way, the slave and maid still have to go to get what Ye Ronghua wants, Lang Jun, please take care of yourself!" ”

I didn't want her to move, Fan Shi hadn't come close yet, his arm was tight, but it was Gao Shilang who grabbed her arm, and said with a sigh of wine: "Who is impatient to ask an old woman to guide the way?" I want you to take me! He smiled ambiguously, "How many layers of wrinkles are on this woman's face, how can she wait for me to change her clothes?" ”

After saying this, Fan heard it clearly, it was the old lady in the palace, and her expression remained unchanged, so she only stepped forward and asked: "It was Ye Ronghua's personal palace maid who was pulled by Lang Jun, and it was brought into the palace by Ye Ronghua, but it was inconvenient to lead the way with Lang Jun, and asked Lang Jun to go with the old slave." ”

"Get out of here!" That Gao Shilang raised his hand and waved her back impatiently, and then grabbed Yun Mengru hard and dragged it into the rockery in stride!

Not far away, Princess Xiping and Lord Yuyang were dumbfounded......
