The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Nanmingzhu woke up. It's really a day when there are no mobile phones and electrical appliances, and you can only go to bed early and get up early.

Yesterday, it was Linglong who was on duty at night before the bed, and when he heard the sound, he hurriedly lit a small glass whale lamp.

"Linglong, what time is it?" The sound of waking up in the morning is always a little lazy.

"It's the beginning of the year (5:00), is Your Highness going to rise?" Linglong held the lamp in one hand and held up a corner of the brocade tent in the other.

"Get up."

As she spoke, Linglong shook the brass bell in the corner above the bed. When Si Chai and Si Jin heard the sound, they each led two little maids to push the door in.

Several girls performed their duties, and the eight crystal palace lamps in various parts of the house were soon lit.

Linglong opened all the brocade tents in front of Qiangong's bed and hung them up, and gently supported Nan Mingzhu's back with one hand, helping her to get up and freshen up.

It's just a change of place to lie down.

After the concubine collapsed and rested on her back, Si Hai cleansed Nan Mingzhu, took out a small bottle of cucumber fresh milk juice, and gently soothed and massaged.

Each of them has a little girl who carefully takes care of her hands.

Just when Mingzhu almost squinted again, she finally took care of her skin in the morning.

Si Jin will pick out the two sets of clothes and let the little girl open them for display, "Your Highness, these two sets are newly made this spring, although you can only wear cotton and linen during the filial piety period, but I think, a little brighter, the Queen Mother can be happier when she looks at it." Not sure which one you want to wear today? ”

The one on the left is an apricot yellow and a matte blue breast-length skirt, although there is no embroidery, but the two plain colors are very fresh and lively.

On the right is a moon-white palace dress with blue edges, with complex styles and elegant atmosphere.

"Wear a skirt, see your mother, it must be how comfortable it is."

"No."

Then, Si Jin took out another snow fox fur jacket, "Bring this one again, the weather is cold, you can wear it for a while when you get on and off the carriage." ”

Change into a skirt and sit down at the dresser. Si Hai pulled a lively Ling Xuan bun for Mingzhu, and took a few delicate silk flowers of the same color as his clothes and carefully put them on them. The fine broken crystals in the stamens, and the earrings of the same style, reflect each other, swaying vividly and lovely.

Looking at the girl in the bronze mirror...... Forehead...... A young woman with skin better than snow, picturesque eyebrows, red lips and white teeth. Although it is not stunning, it is also pure and lovely. It's really the age of a flower. There is no need for other makeup, youth is the best color.

"Aunt Hailan, is it up?" Mingzhu asked as she looked in the mirror.

Hai Lan is the most powerful palace maid around the Queen Mother, and when Nan Mingzhu got married, she followed her and became a dowry grandmother. Generally, some matters related to the palace will be handed over to her to take care of.

"When His Highness woke up, the Hailan steward went to the outer courtyard to make arrangements." Si Hai replied, and asked again, "I don't know who Your Highness wants to order today?" ”

Mingzhu thought for a moment, "Linglong stayed all night and rested early." Just let Linlang follow. ”

"No."

Si Chai said again: "Although Linlang is strong in martial arts, it will be inconvenient to bring only one maid in the palace after all. Why don't you bring the slaves and maids with you? ”

Although she felt a little confused in her heart, Mingzhu still nodded, "It's okay, then so be it." As he spoke, he took a chewing pill into his mouth.

By the time the group went out, it was already mid-hour (6:00).

---------------------------------------------------

In the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager Shengde is freshening up.

"Qi Yu Niangniang, Princess Mingzhu has entered the palace gate." The little palace maid who was already waiting at the gate of the palace hurriedly came in to say goodbye.

The Queen Mother was very happy, and the atmosphere in the hall was a little jubilant. "Quickly command the Imperial Dining Room that they may show their hands well today. After a while, the emperor will also come over. Tourmaline, you go to welcome the pearl first. ”

"No."

Jade gave the Queen Mother a morning cloud bun on one side, and a topaz bead flower on each side. While teasing: "This is really a baby on the tip of the heart, Niangniang's complexion today is so good, even the best rouge gouache can't be lit!" ”

A few little palace maids also followed suit.

---------------------------------------

This side is at the gate of Cining Palace.

"Yikes! I haven't seen you for a few days, and Aunt Tourmaline looks so much younger? Mingzhu asked Hai Lan with a smile.

Hailan pursed her lips and smiled: "Isn't it?" Probably because of the good food recently, I am so fat that I don't even have a trace of wrinkles. ”

Tourmaline saw the salute first, and then said to Hailan: "Your Highness has been a sweet and beautiful girl since she was a child, but why did Niangniang order you to serve with such a bad mouth?" I'll have to talk to my mother when I get back, but I'll have to get you back. As he spoke, he sideways led Mingzhu and his party in. Your Highness, let's go in, I've been looking forward to it for a long time. ”

As they walked through the front yard, they heard laughter in the main hall in the distance. Push the door in, "What did the queen mother say so happy?" Tell your daughter about it too? ”

The Queen Mother looked up and watched her daughter step into the door with a smile against the light, and tears immediately overflowed. strode up, grabbed her daughter's arms, and looked at her carefully.

Speaking of which, it is the first time that my daughter has been away from her side for so long. When Michao returned to the door, he saw that his daughter was happy, and he didn't feel anything. When she saw her daughter again at the national funeral, she was heartbroken after losing her father. Even if the heart hurts, but busy with the funeral, you can only rush to one side. Since then, there have been many troubles, and until today, it has been more than three months.

"Mother, is your little grandson hungry?" Mingzhu deliberately held his lower abdomen, which had almost no traces of protrusion, and said coquettishly.

"Poof!" The sadness that the Queen Mother had just felt suddenly dissipated a lot. While taking his daughter's hand and walking to the inner room, he said, "You girl, my little grandson hasn't come out yet, and you, the mother, have used it as an excuse for greed." When they are born, will you not bring them to me every day to deceive and eat? ”

"No, who made you my mother?!" Mingzhu took it for granted.

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded a little pearl, and turned sideways to Jade and the others: "Inform the imperial dining room that you can set the meal." Then the three of you may not have seen each other for a long time, and you must have held back a lot of whispers, so let's hurry up and get together. ”

Emerald, tourmaline, and sea blue all laughed: "No." ”

"Queen Mother, won't the royal brother come today?"

"Come on, I'll be coming over in a while. Isn't my mother afraid of starving my little grandson, let's not wait for him! ”

As he was talking, there were palace maids rushing in, and more than fifty kinds of exquisite incense were placed on the table. Although it looks like a small mountain, each plate is no more than the size of a tea bowl.

"This is your favorite brown sugar osmanthus cake, try it, have they grown in the past few months?"

Looking at the osmanthus cake that the Queen Mother sandwiched to her, Mingzhu hesitated for a moment, but still refused: "Queen Mother, Erchen doesn't like sweets at dinner now." As he spoke, he quickly stuffed the osmanthus cake into his mouth: "No fault, my mother pressed it to the puppet with her own hands, and it seems to be a good poem." "Munching on a flattering face.

The Queen Mother looked at her with a complicated expression, and the two cheeks were bulging, and they were like the daughters of the two before. After a while, he wiped the corners of Mingzhu's mouth lovingly: "You, you don't like to eat, just don't eat." No matter what you become, can the queen mother blame you for not being able to? ”

Mingzhu breathed a long sigh in her heart and passed the test. Hurriedly sandwiched a piece of meat swallow for the queen mother, and said flatteringly: "The queen mother eats this, your favorite court jade swallow stuffed with horseshoe fish velvet." Eat, eat, no matter how your daughter changes, she will always be the most intimate little padded jacket for her mother. ”～(^з^)-☆

(Sister Bu: ー̀εー́ Tut-tut, good meat. )

The Queen Mother took a bite of the meat swallow and said with a smile: "Hmm...... It's quite sweet. But...... You are the most intimate little padded jacket, what about your royal brother? ”

"Hee-hee...... Brother Huang...... At most, it's a pony coat, it's too cold to wear in winter and too hot to wear in summer. It's too the inside, and it's too ugly on the outside. Gotta leave it there. ”

After Mingzhu finished speaking, there was laughter in the hall, and the Queen Mother bent over with a smile.

"Which ghost is behind the scenes?!" Nan Zhao listened to a few words outside the door, and walked in with a smile: "It turned out to be Xiao Zhuzhu (piggy?)" Ugh. ”

Mingzhu: "Slightly." "Comes with a roll of the eye.

Nan Zhao smiled.

"Ah Zhao is here, why don't you see the queen?" The Queen Mother beckoned and pointed to the chair on the left.

Nan Zhao's smile faded: "She was a little unwell today, so she let her rest in the palace." ”

Queen Mother: "This woman's pregnancy is already hard, and she has a bad temper." As a husband, bear more. ”

"Brother Huang, I'm also happy. It's also a big change in temper, I don't believe you ask the queen mother. Across the Queen Mother, Mingzhu interjected.

"Do you need to ask? In the past, the little piggy pig would not be arranged as a brother behind his back. ”

"Why can't you get over it? The emperor's heart is small. ”

"Where did you learn this weird accent, you don't have a princess temperament at all."

"I learned in my dreams, I learned a lot in my dreams."

"Then you must be doing a good job now?"

"I ......" Mingzhu suddenly held his breath.

At this time, Qiao Linlang came to relieve the siege: "The slaves and maids will bring the best embroidery." Where can my princess bother to learn? ”

Mingzhu was overjoyed: "It's still my family Linlang who is careful, and I was almost surrounded by the imperial brother." ”

"What a little girl who protects the master, she should be rewarded."

The Queen Mother smiled and watched the brother and sister bickering.

In February, the cold spring came, and the house was warm.

"The Queen Mother has arrived—"

The emperor frowned.

I saw the pot-bellied queen Wang wearing a navy blue palace dress into the palace, the hairpin ring was frugal and imposing. Walking cautiously, seven or eight palace maids accompanied him.

"When the concubine heard that the imperial sister of Mingzhu was returning to Ning today, she was overjoyed, and she came uninvited, and asked the emperor and the queen mother not to blame." Although it is difficult to move, the etiquette is very thorough.

Seeing this, Mingzhu was a little cramped, and hurriedly got up to salute:

"Mingzhu has seen the imperial sister-in-law."

"The royal sister doesn't have to be polite." The queen smiled decently, but it didn't reach the bottom of her eyes.

The Queen Mother was very displeased in her heart, but for the sake of the dragonborn, she still greeted with a smile: "Sit down, it's all a family, no need to be formal." ”

When the queen sat down, the palace maid handed over her own silver bowls and chopsticks. Nan Zhao's brows furrowed even deeper, and he endured it and didn't say anything.

"The queen will be full-term next month, and now is the time when it is easiest to get tired. You usually have to take care of yourself, and if you want to eat, you can tell the imperial dining room. Although it is a period of filial piety, it should also be discretionary. "Probably because today's children are intimate, and the Queen Mother is also very kind and pleasant at this time.

"The daughter-in-law is saved, and she is usually cautious in everything, even if she fights to the death, she will keep the dragon child, and the queen mother can rest assured." One sentence choked the Queen Mother speechlessly. Probably found out that she had said the wrong thing, and Queen Wang hurriedly changed the topic before the emperor opened her mouth to scold. "Mingzhu Huangmei is now more than three months pregnant, I don't know if there is any discomfort in the diet?"

Mingzhu said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Lao is worried, this month's daily diet depends on Doctor Sun's care, and it was not until these two days that the baby was born." I didn't have any morning sickness. ”

"Imperial Physician Sun is worthy of being the best gynecological saint in the palace, I wonder if the imperial sister can borrow me for a few days next month?"

"Since the imperial sister-in-law values it, I will ask him to start diagnosing the royal sister-in-law tomorrow. Dragons are precious. ”

......

After saying a few words of homely cooking, Queen Wang began to "eat silently." ”

After eating this quiet breakfast, the Queen Mother said to Queen Wang: "The Queen has a heart today, but her body is important, go back and rest early." ”

"The concubine retired."

Mingzhu looked at the disappearing back of Queen Wang, and "Hu ......" finally left.

The Queen Mother smiled: "Where did the clever man who just talked back to Ah Zhao go?" Actually caught in Queen's Town? ”

"That's because no matter how much trouble I have with the imperial brother, I know that the imperial brother will not blame. The imperial sister-in-law is now precious, if it is because I said something wrong, she will have a tire. Isn't it wronged? Home and everything is prosperous, so why not let her divide it? Mingzhu argued.

Home and everything is prosperous, Nan Zhao silently recited a sentence in his heart, and his dissatisfaction with Queen Wang became even heavier. Seeing that her sister, who grew up in the palm of her hand, became so sensible, she was suddenly a little angry: "It's all Wei Ci's ......" was shocked and speechless.

"That's right! It's all to blame Wei Ci for marrying such a good daughter-in-law as me, and she has been fooling around for so long. It also caused me to have a tire gas, and when he comes back, see if I don't give him a good look! Mingzhu pretended to be a common enemy.

Seeing that Mingzhu really didn't care, the Queen Mother and Nan Zhao breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"This is what my daughter looks like, she used to have the same personality as glutinous rice dumplings, which really broke my heart as a mother." The Queen Mother sighed with a smile.

"Then I don't care, the queen mother should still have to worry about it, not only about me, but also about the two in my stomach. If I am partial to the royal brother, I will definitely come to make trouble. "The pearl is not followed.

Nan Zhao teased: "This is also false, your married daughter is just spilled water." The queen mother is partial to me, isn't that how it should be? Right? Queen mother? ”

The two laughed for a while, until the Queen Mother agreed to embroider a set of clothes for the two treasures in Mingzhu's belly.

"In a few days, the 100-day filial piety period will come. The new monarch should have a new atmosphere, and it is time to sweep away the dull atmosphere of the past few months. The Queen Mother said.

(In this world, Mohists and Confucians are divided into courts, so in order to balance the "festival funeral" and "thick burial", the royal family finally has a system of keeping filial piety for 100 days and repairing the tomb without accompanying the funeral.) ）

Nan Zhao thought for a while, "Shangsi Festival is the time when the peach blossoms in the palace are in full bloom. ”

"It's a good idea to enjoy the flowers, and then the retainer will play with the queen mother all day." Mingzhu was very happy, at this time she couldn't have thought of it, because of her, the flower banquet was completely crooked. It's almost crooked to the sky.

After chatting for a while, the Queen Mother was slightly tired.

Mingzhu got up and retired.

"Isn't there any news from the border yet?"

Nan Zhao knew what the Queen Mother was asking, and pursed his lips.

"No ......"

"Hey......"

-----------------------------------------------

Outside the palace gate, Linlang suddenly said indignantly, "How can the queen be such a person?!" ”

Si Hai, who has always been like an invisible person, scolded: "The affairs of the masters, where can you talk more!" ”

"She's not my master!" Linlang said again.

Si Hai raised his hand and was about to fan it, "I'll take it..."

"Forget it! Never mind! Mingzhu hurriedly stopped, "Linlang, that's the end of this, you must not say it again in the future." Otherwise, Si Hai should beat you, you know? ”

"No."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the car was a little dull, Mingzhu smiled: "I am in a very good mood today, you can behave well, there will be special gifts ( ́-ω-')."

The girl hurriedly cleaned up her mood and came to beg for face.

Laughing all the way to the princess's mansion......
