The candles in the house were burning, the windows were slightly opened, and a fresh breath of early spring gently blew into the room, which relieved Yan Qingge's sleepiness a little.

Ruyi took the hairpin ring and gestured on Yan Qingge's head: "Will this tired pearl purple jade fan hairpin be too big?" ”

Yan Qingge's illness was really thin, and his face, which was already the size of a palm, was even smaller by two circles.

On weekdays, she dresses lightly, and it is cute to be so thin, but today she is going to enter the palace, and her little face is buried in a pile of big jewelry and big clothes.

It stands to reason that Yan Qingge entered the palace last time, and this time he is familiar with the road, so he shouldn't be so in a hurry, in fact, this is not the case at all.

Five days ago, as the father-in-law who came to announce the decree last time said, Yan Qingge really received an invitation from the queen to invite her into the palace.

Just for the sake of dressing up, Yan Qingge wasted a lot of effort.

The first is the dress.

She's getting bigger every year, and last year's dress is definitely not going to be worn this year. Fortunately, she was told by the eunuch in advance, so she hurried out.

Then there's jewelry.

Jewelry can neither violate the rules nor be too plain.

Then the dress and jewelry should be matched well, and the nobles in the palace should not be dazzled.

Especially the last item, for Yan Qingge, who has not completely recovered from a serious illness, is the most difficult.

If a person's body is not healthy, his complexion will be poor, and his spirit will not be very healthy. In this way, the more you dress up, the more you will be lined with fat powder.

Yan Qingge didn't think anything of it, she had a lot of merit in saving Yan Xiuyu and Yuan Qianqian, and the queen would never find fault with her in her appearance. But Ruyi suffered from gains and losses, pulled Yan Qingge to try on jewelry, tried for an hour or two, and did not stop until the time of the lamp.

Yan Qingge can probably understand Ruyi's mentality.

The last time she encountered a forest fire in the mountains, Ruyi blamed herself very much, thinking that it was because she didn't follow Yan Qingge. Now no matter where Yan Qingge goes, she will stick to Yan Qingge's side tightly, never give up, and be a standard little tail.

She even began to learn to ride a horse, and the next time Yan Qingge rode a horse wherever she went, she would be able to keep up.

For Ruyi's actions, Yan Qingge acquiesced. Ordinary maids are not qualified to read and learn riding, and Yan Qingge indulged her so much in order to repay Ruyi for not abandoning her before her rebirth.

Now Ruyi is literate, people are also smart, and the rules are also very good. Standing out with a full body, she is more noble than those young ladies from small households, and she doesn't look like a maid at all.

The night before departure, Yan Qingge's whole body was set.

Early the next morning, she was cleaned up by Ruyi, who had been preparing for a long time.

Yan Qingge combed his double round bun today, left a strand of hair hanging down on each side of his ear, wore a whole set of bright yellow beeswax jewelry, wore a colorful dark flower cloud brocade dress, and tied a trimmed ribbon around his waist, walking solemnly and without losing the brightness of a girl.

She also rarely used a light fat powder on her face, so as to cover some of her sick appearance.

A girl like Yan Qingge, who has no command grade, is not qualified to bring a maid to the palace, so she can only go in alone.

At the gate of the palace, Yan Qingge got out of the carriage and was led by Mama Lu to walk in, standing beside the carriage and watching her with wishful eyes.

Entering the palace gate, the two grandmothers waiting at the door came up with a chariot, and the leading grandmother smiled: "The queen mother knows that the girl is not in good health, so she has prepared a small sedan chair for the girl, and the girl will go up." ”

Those who can make a step in the palace, except for the special approval of the emperor and queen, must be a concubine or above. This reward was a bit too grand, Yan Qingge sat on the chariot, and the palace maids and eunuchs who passed by all looked at her twice.

Fortunately, it didn't take long to arrive at Fengzao Palace, so that Yan Qingge didn't have to accept the baptism of the tide's gaze.

When the queen saw Yan Qingge, she smiled and asked the palace people to move the embroidery pier, let her sit in front of her, held her hand and asked for warmth, her tone was full of love and pity, compared to the last time they met, they were much more affectionate, and their mouths were no longer a mourning family, but the title of you, me, just like they were a family.

Yan Qingge didn't dare to be presumptuous, and replied in a regular manner, and every sentence had to be weighed in his stomach before he said it outside.

The two talked for a while, and the queen said to the palace maid standing behind her, "Call Qianqian out." ”

Yan Qingge's fingers on her knees froze, she didn't expect the queen to call Yuan Qianqian into the palace today.

When the palace maid came back, she received Yuan Qianqian.

Yuan Qianqian is very well-behaved, not at all as arrogant as she usually shows outside.

When she saw the queen, she called out very politely: "Auntie." Then he bowed his head to Yan Qingge and bowed gently.

Yan Qingge stood up and returned the salute, Yuan Qianqian frowned slightly, sat next to Yan Qingge, and when she sat down, she lifted the corner of her skirt, not wanting to have any contact with Yan Qingge.

The queen said: "You young girls should gather in one place more, the time is not early, the emperor and Xun'er will come over to eat at noon, I know the taste of Qianqian, Qingge has any taboos and favorite food, tell me early, I will call the kitchen to prepare." ”

Yan Qingge didn't expect to have dinner with the emperor and the crown prince today, she was taken aback for a moment, and immediately replied: "Hui Niangniang, Qingge has no taboos." ”

Yuan Qianqian took advantage of the queen's lack of attention, raised her eyebrows, glanced at Yan Qingge provocatively, and turned to the queen to be coquettish: "Auntie, let's eat fish at noon, I like to eat carp roasted in the imperial dining room the most." ”

The queen touched Yuan Qianqian's head and said with a smile: "Okay, Qianqian loves to eat, so I will ask the dining room to burn it for you!" ”

At lunchtime, the emperor only showed his face slightly, tasted two bites of food, and left. The prince was left with the three of them.

The prince was wearing an apricot yellow regular robe, he was in a good mood today, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his lips, but he didn't talk to Yan Qingge.

Yan Qingge slandered in his stomach, estimating that the prince was so happy when he saw Yuan Qianqian.

A girl like Yuan Qianqian, stepping on the bottom and serving high, with three knives on both sides, even if she sends 10,000 dowries, she will not marry into the door, only people like the prince who are raised in the deep palace and have closed ears and eyes will like it.

When the emperor was there, Yuan Qianqian didn't say a word, she looked at her nose and nose, and there was no girl more disciplined than her. As soon as the emperor left, she became lively.

She first asked the palace maid to move the stool for her, sat down beside the prince affectionately, and said with a smile: "Brother prince, we haven't eaten together for a long time." Qianqian still remembers that Brother Prince likes to eat light, today's lily roasted taro chips are good, you can taste more. ”

The prince did not shirk, Yuan Qianqian asked the palace maid to serve him whatever dishes he wanted. The queen watched with a smile on the side, and didn't feel inappropriate at all about Yuan Qianqian's actions.

Yan Qingge intuitively felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and suddenly understood that the queen called her here today and arranged such a dinner, I am afraid that she was telling her and Yuan Qianqian that both of them would enter the prince's mansion soon.

As for who is the main concubine and who is the side concubine, the queen did not say, which shows that there is still room for operation in this matter.

Although today's meal was exquisite, Yan Qingge ate the same taste as Jue wax.

Yan Shuyu has been making small moves in the past six months, in order to let the royal family see her performance, so as to seize the marriage contract between Yan Qingge and the prince. But today's dinner of the queen is clearly a statement, the royal family is only interested in Yan Qingge, and has no idea about Yan Shuyu.

Her various layouts and countless plans can't match the preferences of the high-ranking few. And what she did if she didn't want to marry the prince, was it just a mantis arm as a car after all?

Does she have to eat stupid and amazing fat like in her previous life, or do indecent things that shocked the aristocratic circle, she will be given up by the royal family.

Leaving the palace, Yan Qingge's stomach hurt heavily.

Ruyi saw that her face was pale, and said hurriedly: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yan Qingge said: "My stomach is uncomfortable and I want to vomit. ”

"I told the carriage to stop, and miss, you go to the side of the road and vomit." Ruyi said.

"Don't!" Yan Qingge stopped Ruyi and shook his head: "I just had dinner in the palace at noon, and when I came out, I vomited, so that people with a heart could see it, and I wanted to cause unnecessary right and wrong." I'll talk about it when I get home. ”

Yan Qingge endured very uncomfortable on the road, and looked forward to the carriage returning to Yan's mansion as soon as possible.

After some time, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Yan Qingge heard the noise of the crowd outside and in the market, and knew that she hadn't arrived at Yan's house yet, so she lifted the curtain and said with a pale face: "What's the matter?" ”

Not far outside, a little scholar in coarse cloth clothes sat on the side of the road, with several books scattered beside him.

And the two people standing opposite him, Yan Qingge knew each other, it was Ling Xiao and Shui Mu.

Ling Xiao and Shui Mu Xianyi were angry, and at first glance they were noble children, and the crowd of onlookers was half surrounding them, pointing and blocking the road.

Seeing this, Yan Qingge guessed that Ling Xiao and Shui Mu accidentally bumped into the scholar while riding a horse, and the two sides didn't know why they were deadlocked.

The expression on Ling Xiao's face was very gloomy, her face was flushed, her small mouth quickly opened and closed, and she was quickly saying something to Shui Mu, occasionally stomping her feet and shaking her hands to vent her feelings. Yan Qingge knew her very well and knew that she was definitely really angry.

Shui Mu looked helpless, and from time to time he interjected to say something to Ling Xiao, but Ling Xiao shook his head in disagreement.

Obviously, Shui Mu couldn't persuade Ling Xiao.

She was really uncomfortable in her stomach, but she couldn't ignore Ling Xiao, so she got out of the carriage and walked towards the crowd.

It wasn't until Yan Qingge walked to Ling Xiao's side that Ling Xiao saw her.

"Qingge, why are you here. Where did you go? Ling Xiao saw Yan Qingge, pulled her to her side, and asked. was interrupted by Yan Qingge like this, and the look on her face was a little better.

"I just came out of the palace, and the queen mother announced that I had entered the palace to meet me. What's wrong with you and the water boy? Yan Qingge asked.

"I went out of the city with Brother Shuimu to ride a horse, and in the middle of the road this man rushed out recklessly and startled our horses. But he insisted that it was the two of us who committed the murder, delayed him from buying books for his mother to fulfill his filial piety, and asked us to go to the Xinguo Mansion to apologize. Ling Xiao said unhappily.

"Shinkoku Mansion?" Yan Qingge muttered, looked at the scholar dressed as a young man on the ground with his head down, and said softly: "You raise your head and tell me to take a look." ”

She didn't pay attention to it just now, and as soon as she heard Ling Xiao say it, she felt that the figure of the young man on the ground became more and more familiar.

The young man raised his head when he heard the voice, revealing a beautiful and pure face, this person's facial features and face Yan Qingge was so familiar, she dreamed back countless times at midnight, and tore this person to pieces in her dreams, he was clearly her "good husband" Zhu Mao before she was reborn.

Yan Qingge originally wanted to help Ling Xiao calm things down, but as soon as she saw Zhu Mao's face, the hatred and anger in her heart rushed out in a ball, and even the churning vomiting in her stomach was suppressed.

Today's matter must not be good!
