Coming to the door of the Dongnuan Pavilion, Huai Sleeve gradually felt that the sandalwood fragrance became more and more intense, the palace maid standing at the door saw them coming, gently opened the curtain, Su Mala Gu turned around and smiled at Huai Sleeve, and walked in first.

The sleeves also bowed down and entered the warm pavilion.

Quietly raised his eyes, and saw that on the warm kang near the window, there was an old woman with silver hair sitting cross-legged, wearing a navy blue piping Suzhou embroidery Ruyi cloud pattern, oblique placket silver mouse jacket, and wearing a flag dress with the same color Su embroidery piping.

Although the clothes are simple, but it is not difficult to see the exquisite embroidery, the materials are exquisite, a string of emerald jade Buddha beads of the size of the dragon eye in the hand, exudes a deep color, the emerald is transparent and rich dark green does not see a line of white silk, and the jade material is rare pure and transparent.

The old woman's makeup is plain and solemn, without half a fat powder.

Needless to say, Huai Sleeve knew that this old woman was the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang, who was so high up that even the current emperor was in awe of her.

Take two steps forward, stand in the middle of the ground, gently lift the skirt of the placket, kneel on the blue brick ground, support your hands on both sides of the body, and clasp your head widely: "Show girl with sleeves, knock on the Queen Mother, I wish the Queen Mother all the blessings and peace." "

Xiaozhuang slowly put down the scroll and magnifying glass in his hand, lowered his head and looked at the sleeve kneeling on the ground, and asked in a harmonious voice: "You are the general of Zhenguo in northern Xinjiang, the youngest daughter of Ge Jitai of the white flag?" "

"Back to the Empress Dowager, exactly." He knelt on the ground with his sleeves in his arms and replied with his body bent down.

Xiaozhuang nodded slightly and said, "Get up, come closer, let me take a look." "

Huai Sleeve slowly stood up from the ground, straightened the skirt slightly, walked to Xiaozhuang and stood still, his eyes lowered slightly and looked at the edge of the kang, his hands naturally hung down on his sides, his demeanor was calm and steady, and he couldn't see that it was the first time he entered the palace.

Xiaozhuang looked up and down at Huai Sleeve's face and figure, and then carefully looked at Huai Sleeve's facial features and eyebrows, and nodded with a smile.

As if talking to himself, he said, "It's a bit like." As he spoke, he raised his hand, took one of his arms, and pulled it to the front to look at it, "It's a smart look." "

Aunt Su Mala also smiled beside her and said: "I also think that this body is really not like the one who just entered the palace, I think it is because I have left behind the bearing of Princess Rui Min of the ancient theory." "

Xiaozhuang nodded with a smile and said, "This girl's appearance is a little similar to her grandmother, but she inherits her Amma's heroic spirit between her eyebrows, and she is a daughter with ideas." "

After that, he let go of his hand and asked a few words about the situation in northern Xinjiang, but he was not involved in political affairs.

Huai Sleeve answered truthfully one by one, his voice was soft and his speech was clear, Xiaozhuang Hall was very fond of it, and asked if he was literate and studied, Huai Sleeve nodded lightly, Xiaozhuang Ben was about to copy the scriptures to Huai Sleeve, and said that he had nothing to do on weekdays, and only helped Su Mala Aunt to sort out the flowers and plants.

"I remember that the Zhihua Zhai next to your quiet room is empty, so let this girl live there, I see that this girl is dressed plainly and elegantly, and it is clean there, so that she can copy the scriptures quietly.

Let them pack up and send a portion of my scriptures. She only has to copy the scriptures, and you pick a few palace maids to put in the calligraphy and painting hall to do the sprinkling and sweeping work. "

"Yes, I'll arrange it." Su Malagu's blessed body is about to fade.

Xiaozhuang turned to Huai Sleeve and said, "You go with Sister Man, learn more from her." "

After kneeling and kowtowing to thank him, he followed Su Malagu out of the Dongnuan Pavilion.

Zhihuazhai has actually prepared early, and even the things brought by Huai Sleeve into the palace have been sent, and Huai Sleeve looked at the unfamiliar courtyard, and a trace of doubt rose in his heart, why did he obviously enter the palace for the draft, but was brought to Cining Palace?

Aunt Su Mala personally selected four attendant palace maids to give her sleeves, and arranged a little eunuch to help take care of everything in Zhihua Zhai.

Huai sleeve thanked Su Malagu, and officially entered the master of the painting house.

After everything was settled, he sat alone at the desk in front of the bed, stared at the unfamiliar furnishings in front of him, his eyes wandered to the light and shadow on the wall, and couldn't help but say, "Su'er, let's enter the palace?" "

"Does the girl have any orders?" As soon as Huai Sleeve's words fell, what came from his ears was not Su'er's familiar voice, but the voice of a strange woman.

Huai Sleeve was slightly stunned, and when he looked back, he found that it was Jian Yue, the new big girl sent by Aunt Su Mala, who was standing by the door and looking at her at the moment. Su'er was no longer around, she forgot.

In the evening, Aunt Su Mala accompanied the attendant to chant the Buddhist scriptures on Xiaozhuang's side, and after reading a whole paragraph of the "Diamond Sutra", Xiaozhuang leaned on the soft couch and said: "Rest, read here today." After speaking, the little palace maid beside him brought a cup of tea in front of Aunt Su Mala.

Su Malagu followed Xiaozhuang to marry Emperor Taizu when she was a teenager, and then drove into the customs until she came to the Forbidden City.

Therefore, except for some formal occasions, in private, Xiaozhuang has already waived the number of courtesies of Su Malagu, and only lives with each other like his own sisters.

Su Malagu picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of honey cheese tea, and said: "The roster of the previous draft has been reported, why is there so little selection for the emperor this time?" "

Before Su Malagu's words fell, Xiaozhuang said, "Who knows? I wonder about this too. "

Xiaozhuang spoke, gently rubbed the corners of his forehead and continued: "I originally thought that the emperor would draft this time, and deliberately moved the originally selected Summer Palace to the Tiyuan Palace, and they are all noble women in the Eight Banners of Manmeng, Mongolia and Han, presumably they want to choose some girls in the harem, but they didn't think that there are only a few people who have sent a copy of the famous post. "

Speaking of which, Xiaozhuang couldn't help but sigh and said: "Hey~ The emperor is big, and he has a lot of thoughts, and I can't figure out what he thinks, could it be that the selection of women in this show is not in line with the emperor's wishes?" "

When Aunt Su Mala heard this, she thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "I don't think so, I was very surprised when I saw my sleeve for the first time that day, I thought that the woman from the north of Xinjiang must have a rough and heroic temperament."

But I never expected that at the moment I saw my sleeves at first glance, I thought that my father-in-law had made the wrong person, no matter how I looked at that figure, she looked like a delicate and delicate Jiangnan woman, and she actually had the temperament of a diligent concubine who had just entered the palace. "

When Xiaozhuang heard Su Malagu say this, he shook his head with a smile and explained, "You don't know this!" If you want to say that I don't know about other people's families, but I want to talk about Princess Fujin Gulun, who is the owner of the Yellow Flag, who was a famous beauty in the grassland back then!

Her daughter Dongguoer Gege, that is also the beauty embryo that we can count, when Emperor Shunzhi ascended the throne and selected the show girl The year before the selection of show girls, I specially mentioned to her that I wanted to recruit her Dongguoer into the palace.

But she didn't expect that with a royal gold medal, she married Dong Guo'er to Ge Jitai, who was still a major general of the White Flag at the time, with a royal gold medal. "

Xiaozhuang said this, his eyes were deep and distant, and he said with a smile on his lips: "Although I regret it, I have to give up."

Seriously, I've only seen Dongguo'er once, but I really like that kid. Maybe when Dongguo'er entered the palace that year, Emperor Shunzhi would not be ...... because of Concubine Dong E"
