"Mrs. Hou, where have you been, the slave has been looking for a long time, you are coming to the table, the Empress Dowager is looking for you!"

The lady in charge of Shoukang Palace hurriedly walked over, and when she saw Qin Yunshu, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

From leaving to now, it has been a long time.

"Mama, I went to the back of the high platform to take a look, and I heard that there is more than one performance prepared by the barracks. It's delayed, I'll go back. ”

As he spoke, Qin Yunshu walked forward, his sleeves swayed back and forth, and a slight crisp sound entered his ears.

Her instincts told her that something was wrong. The right hand poked in slightly, and there was one more thing in the sleeve that should have been empty.

Carefully stroked, it is a string of beads, not big, and the material is not glass, nor pearls, very ordinary wooden beads.

Someone took advantage of her unpreparedness and quietly stuffed in, and it was someone close to her.

"Mrs. Hou, why did you stop?"

"Mama, I have something that has fallen behind in the backfield, I'll take it. Tell the Empress Dowager that I will be back soon. ”

After that, Qin Yunshu quickly took a sideways step, and the moment she turned around, her fingers hooked the wooden beads, and she looked very carefully along the moonlight.

It is sandalwood beads, close to smell, there is a light and elegant fragrance, it is a high-quality sandalwood.

The texture is worn and old, and it is very old.

This thing......

Qin Yunshu remembered that when she went to Shoukang Palace, she saw the Empress Dowager wearing a string of sandalwood beads on her wrist, which was very similar to the string in her hand.

When she went to the backcourt, she didn't have sandalwood beads in her sleeves, but now she did.

The girl of the He family......

It turned out that she didn't come here to mention the He family, but to do so.

It's ridiculous to think about it, the He family has already moved out of Qijing, and the girl of the He family entered the palace for the first time this year, and she was not close to the Queen Mother at all, but she was able to get sandalwood beads.

"It seems that in order to frame me, the people who can't be beaten with eight poles are united."

Qin Yunshu said in a low voice, ignoring the fact that the master was calling her, and walked straight forward.

She is familiar with the terrain of the palace, and Jin Yan said before that she would send someone to follow her secretly.

Now, she moved forward quickly, and the person who was hidden in the shadows should have noticed, even if she didn't know where he was hiding.

Entering the secluded palace road, she stopped when there was no one around.

"Come out."

whispered three words, only to hear the trees on the side of the swaying, and after a while, the moonlight reflected a long shadow.

"Mrs. Hou."

The man bowed and saluted, his face was solemn, and his stature was about the same as Sun Guang's, but it felt very different.

Sun Guangmuleng smiled, this man was as calm as a piece of ice.

"This string of sandalwood beads is owned by the Queen Mother."

She handed it over as she spoke, and the man immediately took it.

"The subordinates will be sent back to Shoukang Palace immediately."

Where did you come from, and where did you go back.

Qin Yunshu waved his hand, looked at the night sky, and chuckled, "Don't, the Empress Dowager has been wearing sandalwood beads today." The girl from the He family who stopped me in the palace road and sent it to her. ”

"Subordinate Order."

Shen Shen four words, bowed his hand, sandalwood beads have withdrawn the sleeves.

"Well, do it quickly."

Qin Yunshu flicked his hand slightly, and before he could take it back, the man in front of him was gone, this speed was fast enough.

No wonder Jin Yan ordered him to follow secretly, just this skill, quite good.

Soon, Qin Yunshu walked back from the palace road, and when she was about to reach the atrium, she saw her mother waiting.

"Mrs. Hou, have you found something?"

Qin Yunshu deliberately stroked the earrings, "Well, if you wear it, it is a pair, if it becomes a single in the spring year, it is not good." ”

"Just find it."

Mama nodded, then turned and led her to the main table.

"Sister Qin, you're finally here."

When Du Siyan saw her coming, she deliberately got up and glanced at her.

Qin Yunshu walked closer, only to find that a huge plate was placed in the center of the table, baked, sprinkled with flower petals all around, and the smell of meat wafted with the smell of sesame seeds.

At first glance, she didn't know what it was, and on closer inspection, mutton.

Daqi has always been in the spring, and there is no saying about eating mutton, even if you eat it, there is no need for such a big plate, right?

Qin Yunshu looked at the Empress Dowager suspiciously, and saw that her eyes were full of kindness, and she understood.

The Empress Dowager is not a native of Qijing, her father is a nobleman in Qijing, and her mother is a member of the Zhao clan, mainly herdsmen.

Eating mutton in the spring must be baked, special plates, tribal customs.

So, along the way, she put such a big plate at the main table, and there were other tables, but they were not so big.

"Here comes the girl, give it to her."

The Empress Dowager smiled and glanced at her grandmother.

After a while, a delicate short knife was handed over, and Qin Yunshu looked down.

This knife was different from what she usually saw, with a pattern carved on the hilt and a tribal atmosphere.

"Mrs. Hou, this knife was given by her mother on the day the Empress Dowager got married."

The knife, in the Zhao clan, is a sacred place, implying that the flesh is vigorous and brave and not afraid of hardship.

On the first day of the new year, the first knife must be a person with a high status, or a person who has made great contributions.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager waited until Qin Yunshu came and could continue to eat after the knife.

The main table stopped, and dozens of tables next to the women's table naturally stopped.

Therefore, the steaming dish, everyone can only watch and not eat.

Qin Yunshu stroked the short knife, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and finally smiled, "No wonder it's so exquisite, I've never seen it." The Empress Dowager, you have entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, the first sword, but with the blessing you have given. ”

With that, she bent down and slowly lowered the edge of the knife against the big leg of lamb that was roasted in the middle of the table.

Reflecting the moonlight, the Empress Dowager watched quietly, with a bit of reminiscence in her eyes.

The children of the Zhao tribe look forward to this moment every year. The family gathered, dressed in new clothes, ate mutton and took the wedding bun, and then looked at the colorful fireworks blooming in the night sky.

This year is complete.

"The Empress Dowager, I heard that among the whole sheep, the kidneys are the most refreshing."

As he spoke, Qin Yunshu had already taken off a large piece and walked around the table to the side of the Queen Mother, "You are still looking good, and you are in good spirits every day." ”

After a series of coaxing, the Queen Mother smiled, and her whole body was refreshing.

Zhaoxi, who was sitting next to him, his heart sank violently, and the smile in his eyes was difficult to maintain.

If she can survive in the deep palace, she is attached to the Shoukang Palace. Now, Qin Yunshu is so intimate, if he is the empress dowager......

For her, a great threat.

"The mourning family is envious of Mrs. Xiao, I never thought that your mouth is so sweet."

With such a good daughter-in-law, who is not happy?

"If you are happy, I often enter the palace to accompany you, so there is no need to be envious."

Whether it is the Xiao Mansion or the Qin family, for the Chu royal family, they are all children with foreign surnames.

The royal family often visits and practices filial piety, this time......

"It's better to be a goddaughter to the mourning family directly."

As soon as these words came out, Mo said that everyone at the main table had changed their complexions, and the ladies at the rest of the tables and those outside Beijing also understood.

This sentence, but ......!!

If it really happens, Qin Yunshu's status is not comparable to a good fate.

The godgranddaughter is the step-granddaughter, who wants to enter the royal family tree, which is equivalent to a princess!

That's a good life!
