Although Emperor Changtai consciously lost his mouth and tried his best to redeem it. But the atmosphere in the cabinet is still inevitably stained with a layer of sadness - the Queen Mother and Her Majesty have been provoked to mourn the untimely death of Princess Le'an, who dares to laugh?

Therefore, this chrysanthemum appreciation is gradually tasteless, the queen mother did not have the heart to see Zhou Yier's poems, accompanied by Emperor Changtai, in the pavilion to see the chrysanthemum for a while, and ordered to pick some left and right to make flower tea, then under the pretext of the high wind, to return to the Detai Palace.

Zhou Yi'er was quite disappointed, because she occasionally got a wonderful sentence, thinking that she was better than Su Ruhui, who was known as Xue Zi's secret proud disciple, but because of Princess Le'an, no one had the heart to mention anything to write poems and lyrics, and the hard work she had brewed at first was wasted. Su Ruhui was secretly happy, this catastrophe was over.

Emperor Changtai personally drove back, and arrived in the Detai Palace, when it was almost noon, the Queen Mother stayed with Emperor Changtai for lunch.

Su Ruhui and Zhou Yi'er are both escorts to the palace, and naturally they also enter the table with them, and it is Qi Yun who is clothier, in fact, these things should be done by the two of them now, but they are still young and not enough, and they are afraid that standing at the table is not much higher than the table; Second, the two of them had just entered the palace, and they didn't know the Queen Mother's preferences and taboos, so Qi Yun still did it.

Su Ruhui and Zhou Yi'er carefully moved the ivory chopstick, carefully observing Qi Yun's every move, only to see the Queen Mother's eyes swept slightly, and the silver-inlaid rhinoceros in Qi Yun's hand was accurately picked up a little and put it on the plate in front of the Queen Mother. This hand of observation made the two girls extremely admired.

"Queen Mother's ......" At this moment, a girl in red suddenly walked into the hall, and as soon as she entered the hall, she smiled and groaned, followed by a palace maid, holding a pot of steamed fish on the tray in her hand, the fragrance was curling, and it was very appetizing.

As soon as the girl in red appeared, she immediately attracted the attention of everyone, including Emperor Changtai.

It wasn't until she completely walked into the inner hall that the girl in red seemed to be aware of the existence of Emperor Changtai, and hurriedly knelt down: "The courtiers don't know that the holy car is here, and if you are rude, please forgive your majesty!" ”

Emperor Changtai retracted his gaze in some surprise and asked the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, who is this?" ”

Who is it? Empress Dowager Jiayi smiled faintly, Su Ruhui and Zhou Yi'er, but they both knew it.

This girl in red only wears an ordinary moon white skirt, covered with water red half arms, black hair on both sides of the shape of fallen clouds, no jewelry around her body, depending on her age, at most eleven or twelve years old, but she is already as beautiful as the sun and moon, and her appearance is terrifying.

Except for the granddaughter of Master Huo, Huo Qi, who also entered the palace to accompany her, was taken to Renshou Palace by the Queen Mother early, but has not had the opportunity to see Huo Qinglian, the granddaughter of Master Huo, who else could it be?

Sure enough, after the queen mother laughed, she seemed to be careless and said: "This is Kang Yue's daughter, and she was also called to the palace to accompany her, and the mourning family felt that she was very popular, so she stayed in Caimingxuan. ”

"Hmm, the daughter of the county lord of Kangyue? So, that is, the granddaughter of the Taishi? It doesn't matter, when you enter the palace to accompany the Queen Mother, you should naturally come here. Hearing this, Emperor Changtai waved his hand and motioned for Huo Qinglian to flatten his body.

Su Ruhui and Zhou Yi'er hurriedly left their seats and greeted Huo Qinglian.

"These two must be the sisters of the Zhou family and the Su family!" Huo Qinglian pursed her lips and smiled, the light was incredible, near her, she could smell a fragrance like an orchid and musk, rich and fragrant, Su Ruhui and Zhou Yi'er couldn't help but secretly guess, is this fragrance from that moon fragrance bead? didn't know where Huo Qinglian hid it.

In front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, Huo Qinglian couldn't greet them much, and after returning the salute, he personally took the tray from the hands of the palace maid behind him, and walked to the Queen Mother's side and said, "The Queen Mother looks, this steamed fish is made in the small kitchen according to a method made by the courtiers when they are at home, with the addition of chrysanthemum petals, the courtiers have heard from the doctor that the chrysanthemum petals can disperse wind and clear heat, calm the liver and eyes, and can calm the mind and calm the mind, the Queen Mother has not slept very well these days, maybe this steamed fish can have a slight effect." ”

"Lian'er has a heart." The Queen Mother nodded happily and motioned to put the steamed fish in front of her.

Huo Qinglian smiled generously, reached out to take the spoon handed over by Qi Yun, scooped a spoonful of steamed fish for the Queen Mother, and put it on the plate in front of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother tasted it, tasted it carefully, and smiled at Emperor Changtai: "This kid is very clever, this steamed fish has a unique style, and the emperor also tastes it." As soon as the Queen Mother's words fell, Qi Yun immediately put it on for Emperor Changtai.

Emperor Changtai also tried it, and praised: "Sure enough, the mind is ingenious, although the chrysanthemum is good, but the taste is sweet and bitter, steamed with the fish, but the bitterness is gone, leaving only the fragrance overflowing." Saying that, he turned his head to look at the Queen Mother, "Although the steamed fish is ingenious, the most rare thing is that it can make the queen mother happy, and this alone must be appreciated!" ”

The emperor spoke, since there will be no less people to make fun, Zhang An stood behind, and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother and Your Majesty have just returned from enjoying the chrysanthemums in Lumingtai, and Miss Huo Qi has entered the chrysanthemum petal steamed fish, which shows that the young lady and the Queen Mother are extremely fateful. ”

Zhang An is the closest eunuch to Emperor Changtai, and he is also the head of the inner court, although he is a slave, he still has some face in front of the queen mother and the emperor. Hearing this, the Queen Mother and Changtai both felt that this was very true, and they looked at Huo Qinglian's eyes more kindly.

The Queen Mother said happily: "Oh? I don't know what the emperor wants to reward? If it weren't for the good things, the mourning family wouldn't follow, and Lian'er was also Kang Yue's daughter, and if she waited for idle things, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get into her eyes. ”

"The Queen Mother praised it falsely, aren't all the good things in my mother's place saved by the palace rewards?" Huo Qinglian was obviously very pleased with the Queen Mother, pursed her lips and smiled, "Besides, Your Majesty's personal reward, no matter what, in Lian'er's eyes, it is unique and the most precious." ”

"Well, in that case, I really can't be lightly rewarded." Emperor Changtai saw that the Queen Mother was happy, and his mood was very relaxed, and he turned his head to Zhang An and said, "Then take the string of Nine Treasure Glazed Hand Beads from Dongjiao Kingdom Xingong and add makeup to Miss Huo Qi." ”

Zhang An hurriedly wrote it down, Huo Qinglian thanked the reward with a smile, and was about to retreat, but was stopped by the Queen Mother, who ordered someone to add another seat next to Su Ruhui and let her stay to eat together.

After lunch, Emperor Changtai still had political affairs to deal with, and he retired after a few words with the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother also needed to take a nap. So the three of them were sent out of the Detai Temple.

Huo Qinglian then invited Su Ruhui and Zhou Yi'er to Caimingxuan, where he lived.

Just because Cai Mingxuan is the closest place to the Detai Palace, it shows Huo Qinglian's status in the Queen Mother's mind.

Su Ruhui and Zhou Yi'er thanked Huo Qinglian for her invitation, and followed her slowly towards Cai Mingxuan, with great doubts in their hearts, there was already a Huo Guifei in the palace, although she was very happy with Changtai, and her position was only below the queen, but she had never heard of the queen mother's view of Huo Guifei.

Speaking of which, in addition to the queen, among the concubines of Changtai, it is Concubine Shen Shu and Concubine Gu Xian who are more pitied by the Queen Mother.

But judging from the lunch just now and Huo Qinglian's residence, the Queen Mother's treatment of this Miss Huo Qi can be described as a pearl.

I'm afraid that among the girls who entered the palace to accompany them this time, such a favor is still unique.

The three of them entered Caimingxuan with their own thoughts, and found that the grace given by the Queen Mother to Huo Qinglian was more than what they saw, and the palace maids in Caimingxuan could not be said to be like clouds, and there were also six people.

This discovery made a girl like Zhou Yi'er who came from everyone couldn't help but change her face.

The five people who accompanied the palace this time were all from famous families, and the daughters born to their wives were favored at home. Now that he has entered the palace, although he knows that he wants to be restrained and pampered, he still feels an unspeakable resentment when he knows that he has seen such a huge difference in treatment with his own eyes.

Fortunately, Su Ruhui quietly pulled her sleeve, and Zhou Yi'er reacted, and quickly covered up the look on her face.

At this moment, outside Caimingxuan, a voice suddenly came from something that was not familiar, but all three of them had heard it: "Is Sister Lian'er inside?" I'm going to play with her! ”
