On the day when the eldest princess of Guangyi arrived in the capital, it was rare to stop the snow, and the first sunny day after the snow seemed to be auspicious.

The Empress Dowager Jiayi got up early and put on makeup, Su Ruhui and others did not go out of the cabinet, but they were all dressed ceremoniously, with eight Xiangshui skirts inside, embroidered with silver waves, refracted as they walked, like snow, covered with ethereal dark clothes, embroidered on the placket with a pair of Luan birds, female roses, wrapped into the bottom of the sleeves, sprinkled with nails-sized water essence, magnificent.

Therefore, Peiyu used flawless mutton fat jade, carved in the shape of a fish, and hung a handful of blue tassels.

The hairstyle is also a simple double knife bun, the bottom of the bun is in the middle, and the upright pin is pinned with a peony grown in the greenhouse, about the size of a sea bowl, its color is purple, the stamens are golden, and in addition, there is only a pair of jasper step shakes, double hanging beads, draped on the side of the ear.

The complexion did not recover, and the floating water deliberately propped it up to evenly spread a layer of rouge for her, so that she could barely cover her slightly pale face.

Danzhu was dressed in a plum red palace dress, embroidered auspicious clouds Ruyi, a lotus-colored shawl, a double snail bun, a hairpin ring jingling, and when he stretched out his hand, he revealed an eight-treasure red gold ring on his wrist, and pulled Lasu Ruhua: "Sister Ruhui, look at your complexion today." ”

Su Ruhua was not used to fat powder, and subconsciously raised her hand to touch it when she heard this: "Is it?" Floating water will give me some fat powder if he says anything today. ”

"Don't touch that." Danzhu whispered: "The eldest princess is about to enter the palace in a while, I don't think I have time to go out to touch up my makeup, don't make it uneven." ”

Su Ruhui raised her hand and had to put it down halfway, but Zhou Yi'er was wearing a purple palace dress today, with a light purple skirt and a dark purple dress, and even the three pairs of hairpins on her hair were also cast by purple jade. She has fair skin, purple skin is especially whiter than snow, standing quietly beside her, her chin is slightly raised, like a picture of a lady, at first glance, there is a little bit of Xiao Huo's momentum.

The Queen Mother is getting older these years, and in the past, every time she made up a lot, she allowed the girls to surround her side to help figure it out, but she has lost this spirit in the past two years, so the three of them said that they were serving the Queen Mother to make up, but they were not as carefully selected as before, and only picked up the same and handed it to the aunt who combed her hair.

Because the eldest princess Guangyi is married into Qiudi, today's meeting is unusual for the princess to return to Ning, and she must follow the national ceremony, so the queen mother's costume does not need to bother, she must be wearing Qi Yun's own handmade Zhai clothes.

The selected Zhai clothes are crimson color, embroidered with a complete phoenix, stretched out from left to right, the phoenix head is just located on the left chest, the phoenix eyes are majestic, awe-inspiring and inviolable, look carefully, the phoenix eyes are embedded with a piece of obsidian, so it is extraordinarily deep and bright. Qi Yun's embroidery skills that move the six palaces are undoubtedly obvious, and they are really lifelike, and they seem to be fluttering their wings and flying away at any time.

Everyone was amazed, waiting for the Queen Mother to change, perhaps it was rare to see the Queen Mother wearing Zhai clothes, the Queen Mother changed up, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, as if they felt that the Queen Mother was like a different person, majestic and natural, difficult to face.

The Queen Mother had just finished changing her clothes, and Queen Zhou, who was also wearing strict makeup, led the concubines to arrive, and she hurriedly went out and asked them to sit in the main hall first.

Half an hour later, the queen mother finished dressing, was helped by Qi Yun, and took Su Ruhui and others out to sit down, Queen Zhou took the lead in saluting and asking for peace, the queen mother said flat, Su Ruhui and others saluted the queen and the concubines together, the queen mother saw Princess Rongshou next to Concubine De, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly beckoned: "Rongshou come to the emperor's grandmother." ”

Princess Rongshou recovered from a serious illness, lost weight in a circle, but her spirit was very good, she was wearing a festive red dress and red jacket today, and a little cinnabar was dotted in the center of her eyebrows.

hugged Rong Shou to his side and sat down, and instructed Qi Yun to replace the dim sum next to Rong Shou with Rong Shou's favorite food, and the Queen Mother had the time to look at the six palaces that had not been seen for a long time.

Queen Zhou owed her body and said: "Queen Mother, today the eldest princess Guangyi returns to Ning, and brings her son to meet her, the six palaces should be there together, but Concubine Xian's body is inconvenient, and Concubine Hui needs to have a safe pregnancy, so the daughter-in-law specially exempted them from coming." ”

"This is natural, Guangyi is the most sensible, but she doesn't care." The Queen Mother nodded, not only the Queen Mother today, but all the concubines are dressed in rich robes, with hairpin rings on their heads, but among the concubines, Huo Guifei, who is over thirty years old and still pregnant, is still glamorous, Huo is wearing the first concubine dress of the four concubines, the golden palace costume is as dazzling as the queen Zhai's clothes, a string of pearls on the chest, a beautiful jade falls, and the lower abdomen has a significant bulge, but she doesn't feel bloated, only that her whole body is shrouded in a layer of indescribable soft light.

Huo's temperament is very different now, and the Queen Mother couldn't help but take a few more glances at her belly, and said lightly: "Can the concubine come over today?" Doesn't it matter what your body is? ”

"The concubine is getting better these days." Huo Shi was busy getting up and thanking him with the support of Nian Meng, "Empress Dowager Lao is bothered. ”

The Queen Mother ignored her, and instructed her sleeve incense: "The Xu family and the Cui family also have bodies, give them an embroidered stool." ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Huo's face, but Qi Yun still glanced at her before sitting back.

Over there, Xu Baolin and Cui Yu's wife hurriedly thanked them, and only dared to sit on the edge of a stool.

Because the Queen Mother still snubbed Huo Guifei once, the atmosphere in the hall was a little embarrassing, and Queen Zhou, who had always played a round game, was only released from the grounding order, and it was a little cold, but fortunately, someone outside came in and said: "Queen Mother, the Lord of Roushu County has recovered from her illness, and now she is waiting outside to say hello to the Queen Mother!" ”

Empress Zhou and the others had a trace of just the right amount of surprise on their faces, and the Queen Mother nodded quietly, and said to everyone: "This child is also strange and pitiful, originally a good marriage, but Qintian monitoring miscalculated, and the child of the Liu family rushed to each other, and he became seriously ill before he passed the door, but fortunately, he didn't have to continue to make mistakes, the Song family begged to come to the mourning family, the general maternal feelings, the mourning family left her in the palace for a few months, because she had been sick before, it was inconvenient to show you, now take advantage of the excitement, She is also well, so she will call her over to take a picture with you, and she will not need to give a meeting gift, and she will give it when she goes to visit your palace by herself. ”

Everyone laughed, and Concubine De said angrily: "The Queen Mother is asking the concubine to give a meeting gift today, and the concubine can't take it out if she is not prepared at this time, if she is in a hurry, the concubine has to take this set of imperial Fulu Shouxi tea set sent by the sleeve Su to arrive!" ”

"You have no conscience, drinking the tea poured by the people in the mourning palace, and you even have the idea of a tea set for a meeting gift." The Queen Mother scolded with a smile, "Why can't you take it out?" Look at the pair of water spirit hairpins on your head, the string of jade beads on your neck, and the single Jin Chuan mourner on your wrist has seen three, why don't you just take two of them? You don't want to give, the mourning family wants you to give, and after a while, no one else needs to give the county lord a greeting gift, and the mourning family will look at Concubine De! ”

Concubine De hurriedly made a regretful look, and said with a pause: "The Queen Mother doesn't hurt the concubine, the concubine Baba dressed up to greet the eldest princess Guangyi, but the queen mother asked the concubine to take off her costume first to give the lord of Roushu a meeting gift, originally the queen mother is a beauty here like a cloud, and the concubine knows that her posture is simple, so she wears a delicate and splendid thing like a water spirit hairpin, so as not to let the princess not see the concubine, who wants to call the queen mother such an order, pitiful, the princess will come over, I am afraid that the concubine will have to come to the eldest princess, The eldest princess can see the concubine! ”

The Queen Mother pointed at her, and was about to continue laughing, Rou Shu had been brought in outside, Rou Shu had been in Renshou Palace for a long time, and it was the first time to meet the Sixth Palace, Su Ruhui stood beside the Queen Mother with a smile, and saw that her long hair was meticulously combed into a single snail, wearing a set of shallow scarlet palace clothes, with a goose yellow bottom embroidered with a crane pattern on her arm, beads, makeup, all of which are both atmospheric and feminine without losing the girl's gentleness, without squinting, step by step up to the palace to salute the Queen Mother, just looking at it this way, but it is indescribably dignified and generous, It's just the standard royal county lord style, and I can't help but cover my mouth quietly.

The Queen Mother kindly called out and said with a smile: "Just give the queen and others a salute." ”

Rou Shu followed the introduction of Mama, one by one to the queen, the four concubines, and the concubines above the third grade all saluted alone, and owed to the low-ranking concubines, which was considered to have been seen, although the queen mother said that in addition to Concubine De, Rou Shu would give a meeting gift when she visited the palaces later, but Queen Zhou still took a red gold ring from her wrist and gave it to her, and said with a smile: "It's not that the daughter-in-law doesn't obey the queen's will, it's just that I'm afraid that Concubine De's sister will be embarrassed alone, so the daughter-in-law will help her." ”

The queen did this, and then the concubine also pulled out a jade hairpin, and the concubine untied a purse, and when she went to Concubine De, she happily took off a jade bracelet: "Then thank you to the queen, the concubine will not feel wronged." ”

"One of the four concubines who co-authored a dignified and upright product, and when you give a meeting gift, you feel that the mourning family has wronged you?" The Queen Mother said angrily, "What a conscienceless, the mourning family has hurt you in vain all these years!" ”

"Where is the Queen Mother? The concubine knew that the queen mother only asked the concubine to give a gift to the county lord alone, whether she was helping the concubine, and she wanted to make the county lord feel that it was better to have a concubine in this full hall. Concubine De is an old man who entered the palace when Changtai got married, and she has been able to cope with it in front of the Queen Mother for many years, and said with an unrestrained smile, "It's just that the concubine knows that the first princess is coming, and the Queen Mother must be very happy, so the concubine has the courage to make trouble with the Queen Mother, lest the Queen Mother see the eldest princess, and she won't hurt the concubine so much." ”

Saying that she skillfully made a gesture of grievance, the Queen Mother couldn't help laughing: "Guangyi hasn't come yet, how many times have you drunk vinegar?" is such a big person, even Rongshou is more sensible than you. ”

Princess Rongshou had been sitting there obediently eating snacks, and when she heard the words, she hurriedly said: "Concubine De is more sensible than Rongshou." ”

Queen Zhou couldn't help laughing: "Queen Mother, there is a way that is sincere in fairy tales, the princess said so, I want to come to Concubine De is still sensible." ”

Concubine Shu also smiled: "The queen is not busy talking to Concubine De first-the princess didn't drink the vinegar of the eldest princess!" ”

"The Queen Mother loves Rongshou, and the Queen Mother must believe Rongshou's words." Concubine De was simply a scoundrel to the end, "The Queen Mother wants to help the concubine speak!" ”

For a while, there was laughter in the palace, and the low-ranking concubines also laughed, the queen mother was in a happy mood, and was listening to them joking with a smile, and Li Guang came to report in person: "The queen mother, the eldest princess's ceremonial drive has arrived at the palace gate, and now she is asking to see her son alone!" ”

"Don't hurry up yet, please!" The Queen Mother was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered.
