On the fifth day of the first month of March, at dawn, a carriage set off from Duanmu Mansion and headed all the way to the palace.

The old lady Duanmu is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and the location of Duanmu Mansion is not far from the palace, which is only three streets away.

In less than a stick of incense, the carriage of Duanmu Mansion arrived at the palace gate. After the three of them got out of the carriage, they were immediately greeted by the waiter who had been waiting there for a long time, "Second Mrs. Duanmu, the two Duanmu girls are polite." He was very polite in his words, and he didn't dare to slack off.

After inspecting Xiao He's waist card, the chamberlain led them into the palace gate with a smile and walked towards the queen's Fengluan Palace.

In the palace, it is a kind of majestic royal style, carved beams and painted buildings, flying eaves and corners, and jade barricades.

Duanmu Fei followed Xiao He's side unhurriedly, just one step behind her, looking at his nose and nose, his nose and his heart, calm and relaxed.

The Chu family is a big family in Dasheng, with the title of duke, and when she was still Chu Qingci, she often entered the palace with her grandmother, Mrs. Chu.

Thinking of Mrs. Chu, Duanmu Fei subconsciously clenched her fists, and a thought couldn't help but appear in her heart: Can you see your grandmother when you enter the palace this time?

As soon as this thought flashed, Duanmu Fei felt that her right hand was warm, but it was Duanmu Jun who held her hand.

Duanmujun was a little nervous when he entered the palace for the first time, but he was afraid that Duanmufei would be afraid, so he kept secretly paying attention to her emotions, and when he saw that her expression was different, he hurriedly took her hand.

Duanmu Fei turned his head and showed a well-behaved smile towards Duanmu.

After arriving at Fengluan Palace, there was a palace maid wearing a blue lotus-colored palace dress who came out to welcome the three of them into the hall.

The queen had already obtained the gift, and everyone looked at Xiao He, Duanmu Jun and Duanmu in unison.

The three of them walked to the hall and respectfully bowed to the queen: "The courtiers (courtiers) see the queen's mother, Chitose Chitose!" ”

The queen is sitting upright on a lacquered golden phoenix pattern Arhat bed, wearing a bright yellow placket with a standing collar and a hundred butterflies wearing a flower gown, and a peony bun with five phoenixes hanging beads and hairpins, which looks graceful and luxurious.

The queen smiled slightly, raised her hand, and said kindly, "Get up." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother." The three of them thanked the queen in unison before they got up.

The queen looked at Duanmu and Duanmu Fei behind Xiao He's family, and praised lukewarmly: "These two little girls seem to be Yuxue cute, and they all say that the Duanmu family is a beauty, and it really deserves its reputation!" ”

Xiao He said respectfully on the side: "Queen Mother, they are the nieces of the courtiers, and they are the pair of palm pearls left by the uncle who went first. ”

The queen sighed: "It turned out to be the orphan of the captain of Duanmu City...... Go up and let Hongu take a look. ”

Duanmu Jun and Duanmu Fei responded, took a step forward, and saluted.

The queen praised again, and then rewarded Duanmujun and Duanmufei with a string of red jade bracelets as a meeting gift, and then gave them a seat.

Duanmujun and Duanmufei thanked him again, and then stepped back, Duanmufei's gaze swept over a girl sitting under the queen's head without a trace.

It was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, dressed in a purple butterfly dress with carved silk gowns, a green silk hair holding a meniscus bun, and the purple water jade beads between the buns lined her cheeks like petals, but the girl's cherry lips were pursed, her eyes were dark, and she seemed to be in a bad mood.

She is the only daughter under the queen's knees, the eldest princess.

Duanmu Fei didn't want to attract the attention of others, so his eyes didn't stay on the eldest princess for a long time, and he sighed faintly in his heart.

When she was still Chu Qingci, she and the eldest princess were close friends, and now that she has become a daughter of the Duanmu clan from the daughter of the Chu family, will they have a chance to be like before in the future?

Duanmujun and Duanmufei sat down with Xiao He's family, watching the queen and the ladies greeting and laughing, Duanmufei's mind couldn't help drifting away, and at this moment, a palace maid came in and said, "The queen's mother, the second lady of Chu and the third girl of the Chu family are here." ”

Duanmu Fei couldn't help but stiffen, and raised his eyes to look in the direction of the door curtain.

Soon, a beautiful woman in her thirties entered the temple with a little girl dressed in a primrose-colored silk gown.

Duanmu's pupils shrunk, and his eyes stared at the little girl with a goose egg face, and on the other party's beautiful little face, there was a pair of slender sleeping phoenix eyes, and the pupils were sparkling, delicate and lovely.

Chu, Qing, Yu.

Duanmu clenched his fists tightly, and his nails almost pinched into his palms......

Since her rebirth, Duanmu Fei has been thinking about why Chu Qingyu wanted to harm her that day.

She has been frail and sick since childhood, and she is only a dying person, and there can be no conflict of interest with her cousins in the house.

What did Chu Qingyu do to harm her by such means?!

After Second Lady Chu took Chu Qingyu to salute the queen, the queen asked with concern: "Second Lady Chu, this palace heard that Lady Tai has been sick recently, I don't know if she is better?" ”

Obviously, the queen's attitude towards the Chu family and the Duanmu family is very different.

Grandmother is sick?! A sentence suddenly woke up Duanmu Fei, she couldn't care about Chu Qingyu anymore, staring at Second Mrs. Chu with burning eyes, anxious in her heart.

As Chu Qingci's life, the only thing she is ashamed of is her grandfather and grandmother, they grew up holding her in the palm of their hands, and the only expectation for her is to be able to see her ceremony, but even this, she can't do it, and even died so unexplained.

She broke her grandfather and grandmother.

Second Lady Chu blessed her body and replied respectfully: "Thank you for the queen's concern, I have already asked the imperial doctor to see it, and my mother is fine." ”

Duanmufei finally put her mind at ease, her heart was a little sour, her grandmother was sick at this time, I was afraid that it was because of her "death......

Thinking about it, Duanmu Fei's gaze fell on Chu Qingyu again, and this time, her emotions calmed down a little.

However, in just a few days, Chu Qingyu looked much haggard than the day in Yunmen Temple, presumably she was not having a good time during this time.

Chu Qingyu is not having a good time, and he is happy!

Duanmufei's eyes flickered with a ghostly light, and his eyes were as dark as an abyss.

"That's good. Recently, it has been cold in the morning and evening, and Mrs. Chu's body has just healed, and she still needs to be carefully recuperated. The queen sighed and instructed the palace maid on the side, "This palace happened to get a five-hundred-year-old ginseng a few days ago, like frost, you go and get it for the second lady." ”

The queen's words and deeds can be seen to attach importance to the Chu family, and many ladies secretly exchanged glances, and said in their hearts: After all, the Chu family is the top family of this Dasheng Dynasty!

The palace maid Rushuang immediately took the order, and the second lady of Chu was flattered and said:

"The courtiers thank the queen for her mother's grace."

"The courtiers thank the queen for the grace of the queen for the grandmother."

Chu Qingyu's voice happened to overlap with Second Lady Chu, and the queen's eyes fell on Chu Qingyu, and said, "Is this Sister Yu?" ”

In the eyes of the queen and everyone, Chu Qingyu's waist was straight, and he blessed his body without humility or arrogance, revealing the bearing and demeanor of the daughter of the family, "Back to the queen's mother, the courtiers are." ”

The queen looked at her with a smile and said, "I haven't seen her for more than a year, and Sister Yu has grown up." But it looks bad, but the body is not well? ”

Chu Qingyu replied elegantly and decently: "Thank you for the queen's concern, the courtiers only occasionally felt cold a few days ago, and now they are fine." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a disdainful cold snort suddenly sounded in the hall, which was particularly harsh in this quiet and empty room, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold, and even the temperature seemed to drop a lot.

For a while, all the ladies and girls couldn't help but look over, only to see the eldest princess next shoot at Chu Qingyu with a cold gaze like an arrow, and asked in a cold voice:

"Chu Qingyu, this palace asks you, how did Sister Ci fall into the lake?!"
