The queen thought secretly in her heart, but her face was extremely gentle: "Mrs. Xue is really a good girl!" This bearing is not worse than the princess in the palace! ”

The queen is so elevated, and the princess and lady can't stop boasting.

Mrs. Xue hurriedly knelt down to thank her, saying that she didn't dare, and she was afraid that she would misunderstand if she said more, but it was rare for her daughter to have such a long face, and she was also happy in her heart.

Even so, the hearts of the ladies at the bottom have also turned on the drum, everyone knows that the three princes from the queen have also reached the age of looking at the princess, the queen praises it so much, does it mean this? A young woman with almost no cultivation is already looking good.

Where did Xue Ke think of this, she thought that she would leave a good impression on the queen, and in the future, she would have less obstacles with Ah Que, and she was proud that she had made no mistakes in her makeup, words and deeds today, and she couldn't help but smile on her face, lined with her pink and jade face, which looked extremely beautiful.

At this time, there were the emperor's attendants coming in, with a group of little eunuchs and palace maids carrying the emperor's reward, the queen's face was bright, that is, the smile was sincere and warm, and the female dependents praised the grace of heaven again, and congratulated the emperor and queen on their deep affection, and the flowers were full of flowers for a while.

The queen listened to everyone's compliments gracefully, got up with a chuckle, and said: "I didn't expect such a big move on my little birthday, this year it was still run by the three princes, and it was said that the palace was to have a good rest, he said that the spring was lovely, and the banquet was set up in the national color Tianxiang Hall in the imperial garden. ”

"The three princes are really filial piety and ingenuity! What a blessing for the mother! ”

"Yes! The three princes are dragon and phoenix, and they are elegant! Some time ago, he was also dignified and solemn at the literary meeting, and his bearing was extraordinary! ”

"Not really! I heard my grandson say, it is rare that the prince is also a corporal, he is really a humble gentleman, and his mother and godson are really a model for us! ”

Although she is the queen, when she heard the praise of her son, the queen also showed her motherly pride and said with a smile: "He's just a child, but he just relies on the emperor's weight to do a little thing." ”

Xue Ke followed his mother and followed everyone to the Imperial Garden.

This national color Tianxiang Hall, as the name suggests, the garden is planted with peonies, the world's four famous species, yellow building, green butterfly, watermelon pulp, dancing Qingyi, here is actually ordinary, there are rare five-color peonies, large petals at the mouth of the bowl, a circle of a layer of color, for a while, in addition to the luxury of the four words, it is indescribable.

Everyone was amazed and praised that only this place could show the graceful identity of the queen.

After arriving at the Imperial Garden, Chunguang and Xi, everyone was much more relaxed than just in Kunning Palace, and people who knew each other also whispered and exchanged a few words of greetings.

Xue Ke and General Shi's daughter have always had a similar temper, and when they saw that there was a green Dudan in front of the pillar in the side hall on the side, the flowers were light and blue, which was a rare variety of green calyx, and the bloom was particularly cute, so they asked Miss Shi to come closer.

The flowers and trees were luxuriant, and the two of them bent down to count the petals carefully, and then they heard a young woman's voice: "Today, that girl from the Xue family is in the limelight!" Hum! Their Xue family is stepping on two boats, holding the prince on one side and the queen on the other, isn't it just a girl, and you still want to promise two people? ”

A woman next to her also said angrily: "Not really! Today, that girl is pretending to be good! But as soon as the queen inquired, she knew that she was a lawless wild girl who couldn't get on the stage! The queen's mother also praised the face of the Xue family, and she didn't look down on it, where can you compare to your sister? This pressure step on my sister was rewarded by my mother last time, right? This jade, this workmanship, is a rare treasure, this is the supreme glory! ”

The woman laughed arrogantly twice, and said: "This is natural, this sheep fat jade pressure step is the mother's favorite, which means that the woman is quiet and elegant." ”

The woman paused, lowered her voice and said: "But the Xue family is indeed not to be underestimated, General Xue is about to escort the prince back to the court, I am afraid that the situation in the capital is about to change!" ”

Xue Ke carefully searched for the woman with the mutton fat jade she had just seen, but unfortunately she had never paid attention to these aspects, and she didn't know the essentials for a long time, so she said in her heart: "You don't forget about the third prince yourself, and you think that everyone is going to rob you of the third prince." Who wants to marry a queen concubine who is not a prince, I don't know how troublesome it will be in the future. ”

She snickered in her heart, as for what people said she was a wild girl, she didn't care at all, but Miss Shi on the side felt a little embarrassed, looked at Xue Ke and grinned, and asked softly: "Does your mother really mean this?" ”

Xue Ke rolled his eyes and shook his head.

I only heard the two women's voices continue to discuss in a low voice: "Two days ago, I heard that the second lady of the Marquis of Zhongshun Mansion went to your house?" Is good things coming? ”

The woman's voice was visibly shy, and she sneered, "Nothing! It's just that my cousin invited the second lady to watch the ceremony. ”

"Don't hide it from me, I've heard that the second lady is praising you in front of and behind people! The second room of the Hou Mansion has five sons, six sons and nine sons. The ninth son is still young, although the fifth son is older, he is also a son-in-law, but unfortunately his mother died early, I don't know if the second lady looks at the fifth son or the sixth son? You just don't want to know? ”

The woman was obviously shy and anxious, and said, "Sister, stop joking!" Nothing to do! But good sister, if you have any news, you also reveal one or two of me, so as not to make me suspenseful, but I heard that the second lady and the fifth son do not get along well, and the fifth son often does not live in the Hou Mansion. ”

Xue Ke was anxious in his heart, but the woman on the side whispered, Xue Ke didn't hear it, thinking that there were still people thinking about her Ah Que, he couldn't help but be a little angry, and said loudly: "Some people seem to be beautiful women, but they can talk about right and wrong behind their backs, and they think about how to marry people every day!" ”

The two women were obviously taken aback, but they didn't expect that there were still people in the flowers, and the woman thought that her identity was afraid that it had been exposed, so she couldn't help but raise her voice and said, "What person?" Sneaky! ”

Xue Ke has always been a person who is not afraid of things, not to mention that she wanted to see who the girl in the second lady of the Zhongshun Marquis Mansion was, so she ignored the dissuasion of the Shi family's girl, sneered, and walked out alone.

The two of them obviously knew Xue Ke, and they couldn't help but blush and white for a while. Xue Ke looked at the two women in front of him, one of them had a piece of mutton fat jade hanging from his waist, he must be the one that the queen mother in the mouth of the two admired, with a beautiful face, and a red flower painted between the eyebrows, adding a bit of movingness; The other was a little shorter and wore a pink shirt, with a slight freckles at the corners of his eyes, which was quite delicate.

Xue Ke only felt that the one in front of him seemed to be a little familiar, but he didn't remember it very well, and he was also annoyed by his face blindness and memory.

The shorter girl blushed and asked, "Miss Xue, what do you want to do when you sneak up on us and eavesdrop on us?" ”

Xue could see that she was beating her upside down, and she didn't bother to argue, so she looked at it carefully and said, "Does the second lady of the Marquis of Zhongshun like you chewing your tongue behind your back like this?" ”

The woman couldn't help but be angry and ashamed: "You! She had heard Xue Ke's reputation again, and her face turned red and she didn't dare to step forward.

The woman next to her snorted coldly: "Sister Cheng, don't worry about this kind of wild girl!" Besides, who in this capital doesn't know the reputation of Miss Xue, no one will believe her even if she goes out and talks nonsense! Miss Xue, you just showed your face in front of the queen mother, you must not want to ruin your image, right? As for the fate of the daughter's family, everyone depends on their own abilities, so why bother to make senseless tongues here. Miss Xue, aren't you the same, your father is climbing the prince for you, aren't you yourself climbing the third prince on the pole? ”

Xue Ke listened to her previous words calmly and clearly, and was about to leave, but when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but say angrily: "What are you talking nonsense? Who climbed the Three Princes? You are rare, I am not rare to be the third prince! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the faces of the two girls in front of him change greatly, and he turned down. Xue Ke was feeling strange in her heart, and suddenly felt that there were countless eyes staring at her behind her.

As soon as she turned around, the queen led a group of noble ladies to stand behind her, and next to her was her mother, who was about to faint.

The queen is really well-cultivated, and she still said with a relaxed smile: "Mrs. Xue, Miss Xue is straightforward!" ”

A group of women next to him were snickering with their veils in their hands.

Xue Ke stiffened his scalp and went over to support his mother.

Back in the banquet hall, for a moment the warbler sang and danced, as if what had just happened was just an insignificant episode.

Xue Ke felt that the pastries and dishes at today's banquet were all his favorite food, so he ate two pieces of the same, and said to Mrs. Xue happily: "The level of the imperial dining room has been greatly improved!" ”

Mrs. Xue looked at her daughter, she was angry, and she also admired her for still being able to taste the meals in the imperial dining room at this time.

After a while, there was an inner eunuch to report, saying that the third prince won the first place in the archery competition in front, the sacred heart was overjoyed, and asked him what reward he wanted, and the third prince asked the emperor to present a pair of ink treasures to the queen, only to see four little eunuchs holding the holy handwriting of "Derong Kanfan" four dragons flying phoenix dance, the queen smiled.

Everyone praised endlessly, only to see Yang Sanlang's wife joked: "It is said that the three princes are dragons and phoenixes, and we women can't easily see them, and now the three princes are outside the hall, so let's see and see!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the girls in the hall who had not yet come out of the cabinet were ashamed and expectant, and some ladies also eagerly responded.

The queen smiled: "How can Qi Niang get married, but it is becoming more and more unruly!" Although it was a critical word, there was no hint of blame in the words.

Mrs. Yang naturally understood and said with a smile: "Niangniang's words are serious!" Since Qi Niang entered my Yang family, she respects her parents and loves her sister, besides, the third prince is such a character, don't say Qi Niang, even I, the old woman, also want to meet! The crowd laughed.

In the end, the queen also felt that it was inappropriate and did not let the third prince enter the palace.

The third prince outside the hall listened to the little inner eunuch whispering about Miss Xue's feat just now, and was stunned on the spot, speechless for a while, and canceled his original plan.

He carefully designed it for a long time, but he didn't expect such a result, he couldn't cry or laugh for a while, and regretted that he had hidden his identity at the beginning, but it was difficult to ride a tiger.

The queen also smiled gently, and changed the topic: "It's the emperor that they are interested, and they don't feel tired." ”

Everyone listened to the queen's meaning and was afraid that she was going to rest, so the princess and wife got up to ask for her resignation, and the queen approved, and the rest also resigned one after another.

The queen smiled: "Then let's disperse today, after a while, Master Huici will come to the scriptures too much, leave a few girls to accompany me to listen to the scriptures, and accumulate blessings." ”

The queen ordered a few girls, including the girl wearing mutton fat jade that Xue Ke had just met, and the girls who were ordered were all secretly happy, what a glory this matter was, not to mention that being left by the queen was afraid that the queen wanted to take a good look at each other, but what everyone didn't expect was that the queen also ordered Xue Ke.

Mrs. Xue and Xue Ke were also surprised, but they couldn't say anything, so they had to kneel down with everyone to thank them. Mrs. Xue repeatedly quietly told Xue Ke to be cautious in his words and deeds, and never to be as reckless as he was just now.

Mrs. Xue was frightened, but Xue Ke was fearless, thinking about Ah Que, secretly wondering if Ah Que had told his aunt about himself in advance, and there was still a little joy in her heart.

Then there were palace maids who led the dozen or so girls to the back of the Buddha hall, and after everyone washed their hands and offered incense to the Buddha, they were led to the side hall.

There were already a few nuns who prepared Buddha beans for them to choose, and the queen listened to the teacher's lecture in the side hall on the other side, and it was quiet in the afternoon, and the unique smell of incense and candles filled the whole room, and the girls were a little groggy.

In the end, they are all young girls, although they know that they are in the palace, and they are also told by their families to speak lightly, but after picking up Buddha beans for a while, everyone still chatted in a low voice.

One of the girls with a delicate face, wearing a tender yellow shirt and a voice like a yellow oriole, asked the girl wearing mutton fat jade and asked, "Sister Cen can practice any music these days, and Sister Baihuahui will show off her style regularly in a few days!" ”

Miss Cen is a well-known figure in the Beijing boudoir circle, enjoying flowers in spring and moon in summer, golden chrysanthemums in autumn and snow in winter.

And Miss Cen's one-handed piano is said to be the true biography of Chang Xian'er, the holy hand in the piano before, and is quite famous in Beijing.

Miss Cen smiled reservedly and said: "The eldest princess invited me to help the fun, but you know that my grandmother is very strict and doesn't let me play the piano outside. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Xue Ke again and said, "Speaking of this, I envy Miss Xue the most, everything is free, free and uninhibited, it is really a good life that people yearn for." ”

Everyone had heard of Xue Ke's reputation, and naturally understood the meaning of Miss Cen's words, and couldn't help covering their mouths and chuckling.

Speaking of playing the piano, Xue Ke suddenly remembered, and couldn't help but point to that Miss Cen and said, "It turned out to be you!" ”

Miss Cen was confused and looked at Xue Ke.

"It turns out that you are the young lady of the Marquis of Zhongshun's mansion!" Xue Ke suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "By the way, you played the piano in the garden that day, why did you cry later?" ”

Miss Cen's face changed greatly, the events of that day were carefully designed by her, in order to meet the third prince. As a result, the third prince had something to do, and the fifth young master came over, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

She thought that this matter was very secret, but she never expected Xue Ke to know. She only thought that Xue Ke knew all the causes and consequences, and for a while, her heart was like a drum, and her face turned purple.

Seeing the sudden change in her face, everyone secretly guessed in their hearts, and looked at her and Xue Ke with interest.

Miss Cen looked angry: "What nonsense are you talking about! ”

Although Xue Ke didn't know it, he also knew that he had the upper hand, and he couldn't help but feel proud. Take a hundred plating and read the latest chapter of "Sigh Rebirth Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
