Several eunuchs guarding the door looked the girl up and down, and said lukewarmly, "This girl, how can anyone see the queen?" How do we know if you are the Queen's sister? Besides, even if the girl is really the queen's sister, you should wait for the queen to see you, send someone to the palace to summon you, and cut off that no girl took the initiative to find Li'er who wanted to enter the palace. ”

The girl was impatient, but she didn't dare to be angry, she forced her temperament, and reluctantly smiled, "Father-in-law, how can there be any reason to lie about this?" If I am a fake, when I get to the queen, won't I miss the filling? Wouldn't you be beaten half to death? My father-in-law just has to go and say back, and the queen will definitely see me. ”

The eunuch at the head arched his hand and said slowly, "Girl, we don't dare to go back to you, if there is a fork, our little life will not be saved." Since you said that she is the queen's sister, that is, the daughter of Mrs. Yao Guo, please go back to the house, ask Mrs. Yao Guo to write a note, and we will send it in. We are all slaves, so please don't be hard for us. ”

As he was talking, he heard someone in the palace gate shouting, "Who?" What's going on here? ”

When the eunuch guarding the door turned around to look, he saw that it was Grandpa Xia, the eunuch of the Six Palaces, and they were all busy laughing and saying, "Grandpa Xia, you old man have to be idle?" Is this going out of the palace? ”

Father-in-law Xia straightened his collar, let out a "hmm" from his nose, and suddenly saw the girl, and hurriedly changed his face with a smile, "Ouch, isn't this Miss Yao?" How is it here? Dare that Mrs. Yao Guo has something to give to the queen? ”

It turned out that this father-in-law of Xia often served the orders of Queen Yao to send things or pass messages to Mrs. Yao's house, so he was more familiar with the people in Yao's house.

When Yao Pei saw that the savior came, she was overjoyed, and she hurriedly gave a gentle salute, and said with a smile, "Father-in-law Xia, I have something important, I want to see my sister-ah, no-queen's mother, bother my father-in-law to help me pass it through, can you make it?" ”

Eunuch Xia smiled all over his face, and promised in a loud voice, "Second Miss Yao, just rest assured, what's wrong with this?" The old slave went to tell the queen and asked the girl to wait. As he spoke, a gust of wind went.

The weather was still gloomy, and the cold wind was blowing.

When the eunuch who guarded the door saw that Eunuch Xia was gone, he hurriedly came out with a small hand stove, and said with a smile, "Miss Yao, the little ones are clumsy, they don't recognize the girl, don't blame the girl." It's a strange cold day, this hand stove is new, and the charcoal in it is also good, and the girl is warm. ”

Yao Pei smiled secretly in her heart, these people changed their faces too quickly, and they said clearly, because they said, "Fathers-in-law are dutiful, and they should be." I came too recklessly. ”

A little eunuch said, "Everyone praises the queen's virtuous lady, the girl is the queen's sister, and she is so reasonable, which is the blessing of the little ones." ”

A group of people were surrounding Yao Pei and complimenting her, and Eunuch Xia had already turned back, and said with a smile, "Second Miss Yao, Niangniang passed you in." The old slave still has some things to do to leave the palace-" turned around and instructed a little eunuch, "You, Haosheng sent the second girl Yao to see the queen." ”

Yao Pei hurriedly smiled and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Xia." Last time, Father-in-law Xia said at my house that the hibiscus cake made by my mother was delicious, and when I went back to tell my mother, I asked her to make more for the old man, and sent a small servant to my father-in-law to send to the house. ”

"Ouch-" Eunuch Xia's face bloomed with a smile, but he said in his mouth, "How dare you!" How dare you! The minions can't think of a way to honor Mrs. Yao Guo, where do they dare to bother Mrs. Yao to bring us food? The old slave can't afford it, can't afford it! ”

Yao Pei didn't say anything more because she had something in her heart, she lost another smile, and hurriedly followed the little eunuch to the palace.

In Kunning Palace, Yao Qiong was sitting on a chair by the window, absentmindedly sewing a lotus-colored jacket. It is only because the state of Muslim has just been established and has experienced a major war, so the treasury is not full. As the queen, Yao Qiong naturally has to set an example of frugality, she has eliminated one-third of the palace maids and eunuchs in her palace, and often makes some clothes, shoes and socks by herself to reduce expenses.

Yao Qiong's move won the heart of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, so she loved her even more.

Just now, Eunuch Xia went back and forth to Yao Qiong, saying that when the second lady was about to come in outside the palace, Yao Qiong was shocked, this sister is a little disobedient on weekdays, what is going to happen now? Today is not the same as usual, if there is something wrong, the whole country of Mu will be staring at it.

While thinking about it, he had to hurry up and order Eunuch Xia to bring his sister in. Seeing that Eunuch Xia bowed down and withdrew, when Yao Qiong started to do needlework again, she was a little unconcerned, and before she knew it, she had pricked her fingers several times.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps at the gate of the palace, and a male duck-like voice said loudly, "Queen Mother, Miss Yao Er is here." ”

Yao Qiong nodded to the palace maid beside her, and the palace maid hurriedly walked over, lifted the curtain, and said with a smile, "Second girl, the queen is waiting, please come in." ”

Yao Pei fixed her eyes and saw that it was Qingyu beside her sister. Qingyu was originally the girl in Mrs. Yao Guo's mansion, and she and a girl named Qinglu married together with her sister to King Ning's mansion. Now that he has naturally become my sister's most trustworthy person, she hurriedly sent a smiling face, called "Sister Qingyu", and followed her in.

After Yao Pei gave a salute, Yao Qiong ordered Qingyu to pick up Yao Pei, and Fang asked, "Pei'er, why are you here?" But what does my mother command? ”

"This ......" Yao Pei hesitated for a moment, and swept a few palace maids next to her with her eyes, Yao Qiong understood, and hurriedly said, "You all go down, the plum blossom almond crisp made in the imperial dining room yesterday is good, I said to send some to my mother, you go and tell the imperial dining room to prepare a few boxes, and bring them back to my sister later." ”

Several palace maids understood in their hearts, and hurriedly agreed and retreated together.

Yao Pei eagerly took Yao Qiong's hand and said, "Sister, do you know that he ...... He was escorted to the capital! ”

"Who?" Yao Qiong didn't understand for a while.

Yao Pei was so anxious that she stomped her feet: "That person! It is...... Oh he! ”

"You mean—" Yao Qiong suddenly realized and hurriedly swallowed her words back.

Why are you so upset today? Is this the nature of father and daughter?

Yao Qiong vaguely remembered that person was very burly, like an iron tower.

It seems to be a matter of the previous life, a brightly lit Shangyuan Festival, he took himself to see the lights, and there were people in front of him, so he put himself on his neck. That night, Yao Qiong, who was only four years old, became the tallest person in the street market of the Lantern Festival. This scene has also become a memory that will never linger in Yao Qiong's mind.

Also, on the most frightening day when he was five years old, he gently stroked his hair and told himself, "Qiong'er, when you grow up, Daddy will take you back!" ”

Over the years, this person has been a taboo in the Yao family, and no one can mention a word......

Suddenly, a voice like a eunuch duck came from outside the palace gate, "The emperor has arrived-"
