Chapter 100: The Queen Mother
Early the next morning, Qi Ruo said goodbye to Ruan Yu and returned to the Zhenguo Mansion.
Qi Mo knew about this early on, and after bringing the person back, he didn't ask much, but comforted: "Individuals have their own way to go, and Ruan Yu also has her way to go." ”
"I know." Qi Ruo sighed, and suddenly thought of Qi Ren and his wife who lived at the southwest gate of Yuanjing, "I'm just afraid that what happened last night will be with Qi Mei...... Her parents said that they were afraid that they would make trouble when the time came. ”
Qi Mo had already thought of this: "I will let people do this matter before dawn early this morning, they don't dare to make trouble." The daughter-in-law can rest assured that she has a husband to support you. ”
Qi Ruo looked at Qi Mo and smiled.
If this is the case, what more could she ask for?
At that time, she was afraid that Qi Ren and his wife would come to the door if they had nothing to do, which made her upset, and Tete chose the house far away from the Zhenguo Mansion, and was afraid that Ruan Yu would not be peaceful after marriage, so she made trouble with Qi Mei, and chose to be far away from Zhao's mansion, but if they really had the heart to make trouble, the distance was really not a problem, and they had to find someone to keep an eye on it, and knock one or two from time to time.
"Don't think about it. By the way, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, why don't we go out today to buy some lanterns and decorate one or two? Qi Mo took Qi Ruo's hand and shook it, "Okay?" ”
Qi Ruo nodded and said, "Isn't there always a lot of lanterns to buy on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival?" The market will also open later than the night market next door, so why don't we skip dinner at night and go out to the market for snacks. ”
Qi Mo put his head on Qi Ruo's neck socket and rubbed it, hugged her waist with both hands, and said angrily: "I'm sorry, daughter-in-law, I'm afraid it won't work, we're going to the palace, the Queen Mother held a Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet, this year not only the marquis family is going to go, but also the ordinary noble family is going to go." I just don't know if I'll have the opportunity to go out to the night market again. ”
Qi Ruo was inevitably a little lost in his heart.
To be honest, she really didn't want to go to the palace, it was okay to go to see the scenery, but the rules were tiring, she was afraid that she would make a mistake and make a mistake and then it would affect Qi Mo.
"I can't watch the lanterns with my daughter-in-law again, I'm so disappointed, I don't want to enter the palace, I want to only accompany my daughter-in-law."
Qi Ruo was coaxed by Qi Mo and laughed: "It's clear that it's me who should be lost, okay?" You used to go to the palace often, didn't you get used to it? ”
"I didn't have a daughter-in-law before, but I felt that it was the same everywhere, it was no different, but now it's different."
As he spoke, he plunged into Qi Ruo's arms again.
"I want my daughter-in-law to hold me."
If it had been Qi Ruo who had blushed and didn't look at Qi Mo in the past, he would have been hiding there for a long time, or he would have simply pretended not to hear it and was doing his own thing.
I don't know if Qi Ruo had the courage to chase love because of Ruan Yu's loneliness and courage to chase love yesterday, he actually reached out and hugged Qi Mo tightly, and gently rested his head on his back, and said in a low voice: "Hold you." ”
Because Qi Ruo had never entered the palace, Qi Mo said that he would take someone to go shopping, and take advantage of the sunset when gold was sprinkled all over the palace.
Qi Ruo gently lifted the carriage curtain and looked, and saw that the entire glorious palace was surrounded by golden light, shining brightly.
"It's beautiful." But the more beautiful things are, the easier it is to not be kept, thinking of this, she sighed as if she didn't want to, "Are the people in it happy?" Surrounded in a gold wire cage. ”
"My daughter-in-law is really transparent." Qi Mo tapped Qi Ruo's nose, "So, I don't like to come here when I grow up, it's boring." But I have a friend who is locked up inside, and I have to go see him, or I will be so unjust. ”
Qi Ruo saw that many things were very novel, and before he knew it, the two of them had gone a little far, and they were about to go to the harem.
Qi Mo suddenly thought that he hadn't taken Qi Ruo to take a look at the one inside, and he had a daughter-in-law who had to take it to her.
Thinking about it, he sent someone to spread the word.
"Ning'an Palace." Qi Ruo unconsciously pronounced the name on the plaque, "What kind of place is this?" Where does the mother live? ”
Qi Mo's eyes gave birth to some nostalgia, as if he saw something through this plaque.
"There lives one of the gentlest women in the world, as gentle as my biological mother."
Qi Ruo was not angry at Qi Mo's answer, but suddenly realized: "That must have been very good to Ah Mo in the past." ”
Qi Mo grinned, his eyes full of pampering: "Yes, it's good, so if she gives you something when you go in later, you can take it, don't be polite to her, otherwise she will be angry." ”
There are a lot of flowers and plants planted in the Ning'an Palace, but it looks more comfortable than the palace garden next to it, and the special is a few osmanthus trees planted in the courtyard, which is the season when the flowers bloom, and it is even more fragrant.
When she arrived in the hall, she didn't dare to look more, she only lowered her head and followed behind Qi Mo, Qi Mo knelt down to salute, and she also knelt down.
The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly: "You kid, can you still afford to mourn when you become a parent?" It's really hard for you. ”
Qi Mo walked to the feet of the Queen Mother, and reached out with a smile to hold the Queen Mother's right hand: "Mo'er didn't come to ask for sin." The Queen Mother is so good, she must be able to understand Mo'er. ”
The Queen Mother smiled at each other with the grandmother who was serving on the side, lowered her head and reached out to poke his forehead, and scolded with a smile: "You kid, you are used to being coquettish and fooling the mourning family, anyway, the mourning family is also old, and you can't control it, let you fool it." ”
Qi Mo took the Queen Mother's hand and shook it, and her tone became more and more like a child: "The Queen Mother's aunt is beautiful, kind-hearted, deaf and clear-sighted, Mo'er doesn't dare or is reluctant to fool the Queen Mother's aunt." ”
"It's sweet in your mouth." The Queen Mother's hand pulled up, "Get up, you don't have to snub the bride." ”
After that, the Queen Mother took a closer look at Qi Ruo for a long time, and saw that she was wearing a pink dress, and her hair accessories were also pale pink, so she felt that she was playful and cute, but this silent appearance was inexplicably dignified and generous, and the two stood together and matched.
"She's a good-looking girl, and I've heard that her medical skills are quite good?"
The Queen Mother beckoned to Qi Ruo as she spoke, asking her to come closer.
General Qi Ruojiang has always been surprised by the relationship between the Queen Mother and Qi Mo, but it is like a mother and son, kind and natural, which makes her feel nervous about her ugly daughter-in-law seeing her in-laws.
She slowly stepped forward, and couldn't help but peek at the Queen Mother, and saw that the Queen Mother was wearing a phoenix crown and a gorgeous dress, but her face was full of love, and she was looking at her with a smile.
She didn't want to peek at being caught, she was even more panicked, and she lowered her head hurriedly, but she didn't expect to get close to the former queen mother and directly held her hand.
"Mo'er, you lady is good, you are very smart."
"That's not it, I picked it." Qi Mo seemed to feel that he was a little too big or small, and touched his head again and smirked.
"Look at what you can." As she spoke, the Queen Mother took off the jade bracelet on her wrist, "Come, you accept this jade bracelet, this jade bracelet has been with the mourning family for many years, raising people!" ”
Qi Ruo glanced at Qi Mo, remembered what he said before, and was about to kneel down to thank him after taking it, but was pulled by the Queen Mother.
"You don't need to be polite to the mourning family, just treat it as if your aunt gave it to you."
The Queen Mother seemed to remember the past, and her eyes with thousands of words became more and more distant: "The mourning family and Mo'er and his mother are close friends in the boudoir, but it's a pity that Mo'er and his mother are famous, and then Mo'er came to the palace, and the mourning family also watched Mo'er grow up." ”
Several people talked for a long time, until the grandmother next to them reminded that the time was almost up, and it would be time for the Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet in a short time, so the Queen Mother let the two go.
When they came to the palace where the feast was to be held, they saw that many people had arrived, and a eunuch hurried forward to guide the two of them, until they came to the seats that had been arranged for them, and saw that they were seated.
Qi Ruo was bitter in his heart, and couldn't help but complain in Qi Mo's ear: "Why is this son so dazzling? Can I hide it? ”
I saw that their seats were not only in the front row of the hall, but only two seats away from the upper seats, which was really conspicuous.
Qi Mo nodded thoughtfully: "I think my daughter-in-law is right, it's better to hide it in my sleeve." ”
As he spoke, he also lifted his sleeve to Qi Ruo, looking like he was waiting for her to get in.
Qi Ruo glared at Qi Mo angrily, secretly picked up a piece of pastry on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.
In fact, what Qi Mo didn't tell Qi Ruo was based on his military exploits, if he was more domineering, he could sit on a seat again. But his daughter-in-law is timid, and he still doesn't scare her.
He looked at Qi Ruo's cheeks and eating one by one, and couldn't help but want to pinch her face again.
He felt that what the Queen Mother's aunt said was very right, and his daughter-in-law was really cute.
Qi Ruo easily stuffed the pastry into his mouth and chewed it, and quietly found Ruan Yu, as soon as the two looked at Ruan Yu and smiled sweetly at her, it made her feel a little relieved, but she accidentally saw the Lord of Haoyue in a blink of an eye, but saw that she was unwilling and looked at her with some sarcasm.
She has been used to seeing her face since she was a child, and she doesn't care too much about those who can throw her face, but she is afraid of those who are used to hiding their thoughts, such as Qi Mei.
At this moment, the emperor, the queen and the queen mother arrived, and everyone in the palace got up and saluted, and Prince Weiren did half a salute alone.
Qi Ruo had already seen Prince Ren's rampant in front of the emperor, and he didn't feel strange, but he knew in his heart that Qi Mo would not be alone in this struggle for power, and he would definitely stand on the emperor's side.
With the emperor's "no courtesy", everyone sat down one after another, waiting intently for the emperor to speak, and then the banquet began.
Qi Ruo was already hungry, and since the emperor had moved the chopsticks, she couldn't wait to eat the hot dishes on top of the chopsticks.
Her eyes lit up at this taste, and she pulled Qi Mo's arm and praised: "The imperial chef in this palace is really different, the same dish tastes great, I don't know how you put up with the chaff I made when you were in Stone Village before." ”
"What my daughter-in-law makes is naturally the most delicious in my heart." Qi Mo stretched out his hand to help Qi Ruo wipe off the soup that accidentally stained the corner of his mouth, and said mysteriously, "However, I'll give my daughter-in-law a thorough explanation, and there will be better food later." ”
Qi Ruo was looking forward to it, looking at Qi Mo with sparkling eyes, and saw that at this time, many palace maids came from outside the palace gate one after another, all of them holding a tray in their hands, and a big high-legged porcelain bowl was placed in the tray, and it was also covered with a lid.
"That's what you say is better?"
Qi Mo nodded, and it happened that at this time, the maid of the palace put the porcelain bowl on their table, and also placed two scissors by the way.
Qi Ruo didn't know why, but when she saw that the palace maid had opened the porcelain lid, she saw that the big red crabs were placed in a delicate white porcelain bowl, and there was a circle of green vegetables on the side, which was really pleasing to the eye.
It's just that she didn't know how to eat, and looked back at Qi Mo with a blank eye.
"Wait."
After that, Qi Mo cleaned his hand and picked up the scissors and willingly peeled the crab for Qi Ruo, which was not unsightly in the hall where a group of women peeled crabs for their husbands.
