Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Gift
Empress Cao smiled and raised her hand: "No courtesy, get up quickly." ”
She smiled and looked at the second princess and Lu Fuma, and instructed Yingluo: "Quickly pour tea for the princess and the concubine." ”
It was the first time that Lu Juma had entered the Yilan Palace.
As for the queen mother, I have seen it, but I have never seen it so closely.
The queen mother was wearing a crimson dress, this color was joyful, but it was not gorgeous, and it did not look very luxurious, except for a pair of gold-inlaid hostas and two silk flowers on her head, there was no side makeup.
Lu Juma had heard of the queen's reputation for being thrifty and virtuous, and when he looked at it, he was really thrifty enough. If he wants to meet such a person in another place, he will never dare to regard this as a queen mother.
It doesn't look like listening to talking.
Although Lu Juma has never dealt with the queen's mother, he has still seen so many of the ladies who have dealings with Mrs. Lu, some of them are kind, and some are arrogant, and they treat people whose status is not as good as their own, and they are arrogant, as if they can't show her high status if they don't step on other people's faces.
Mrs. Lu sent away a wicked guest at that time, and it was inevitable that she would catch her son and complain.
The particularly arrogant Mrs. Wang was born as a slave in the past, and everyone knows this, but she just wants to make a look of "I am from a famous family", treat her subordinates either by beating or scolding, and never allow anyone to mention her past.
What Mrs. Lu didn't tell her son was that Mrs. Wang still wanted to marry the Lu family, but unfortunately his daughter was like a mother, Mrs. Lu didn't want to marry a shrewd daughter-in-law who dared to point at the elders' noses and scold, this is not only the son's life, but also the grandchildren. What kind of children can such a mother raise?
Empress Cao smiled and looked at the newlyweds in front of her.
She is a person from the past, and she can see whether the husband and wife are in harmony and affection.
Zhao Yuxi, this girl, the Liu family raised her, and at the beginning, she was certainly raised for others to see, in order to win people's hearts. But people are not plants and trees, and after a long time, there will always be some affection.
Empress Cao still remembers the first time she saw her.
At that time, the capital had suffered several military disasters, and it was already a big life for this little girl to survive, but she was very thin at that time, and she was wearing a shirt and pants that obviously did not fit, and she was changed from an adult's clothes to a small one, and her hands, feet and little face were washed clean before she came.
Her whereabouts were told by others, hoping that she would receive some reward for reporting such a "remnant of the former dynasty".
After being left behind by Empress Cao, the girl has been silent, and the people who serve her have quietly discussed whether she is a mute person.
She has gotten better in the past two years, but she still has a lingering loneliness on her body.
When Empress Cao chose a husband for her, although Lu Weining was also among them, Queen Cao never imagined that he was the one who was finalized.
Not to mention others, even Queen Cao feels that this family affair is a little unreliable. As the saying goes, a talented woman is good-looking, and she raises her eyebrows - what does Empress Cao think these two people can say? Lu Weining is only interested in knives, guns and sticks, and Zhao Yuxi is a particularly cold and introverted character, how do these two get along?
I didn't expect to see each other today, and the two of them seemed to be quite harmonious.
Although Zhao Yuxi still doesn't talk much, Queen Cao feels that she is a little different.
At the very least, there was much less of the cold aura that had been hanging over her.
Liu Yan and Liu Fang were in front, Liu Yu was behind, and the three of them dispersed from school, and they also came to Yilan Hall together.
Empress Cao beckoned: "It's just a coincidence, your second sister and the concubine are here, come and see you." ”
Liu Yu didn't send it to the palace gate yesterday, and she hadn't seen the Lu family before, and today was the first time she saw her.
At this glance, she was taken aback.
This reckless horse, it's so dark!
This size is also a little higher, the guards outside the Yilan Hall are all selected from the guards, they are decent in appearance, and their bodies are also very well-proportioned and straight, but the Lu horses are more than half a head taller than the guards, and their shoulders are also broad. It was similar to the uniform worn by Meng Juma at that time, but it was weak and invincible when it was put on Meng Juma, and the scribe was romantic, so it was ......
It's not that it doesn't fit, of course, tailor-made clothes don't make clothes that don't fit.
But when you look at it, it makes people feel awkward, as if you're wearing someone else's clothes.
Liu Yan and Liu Fang had already met once yesterday, and they were not much surprised by Lu Yuma's physique and appearance, the two smiled and saluted, and Liu Yan reached out to ask for a red envelope.
Lu Weining turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yuxi, and then understood what the princess meant by stuffing a purse on him before going out.
He didn't understand it at the time, and Zhao Yuxi didn't explain it in detail, only said that it could be used.
That's when he realized he was waiting here.
Empress Cao said: "I know nonsense, and I don't have a system." ”
Although she said this, she had a smile on her face, and she didn't mean to reprimand seriously.
Although it shouldn't be like this according to the system, the family should be affectionate, talking and laughing. really comes according to the number of courtesies, that's not a life, it's a show on the stage, and it's for others to see.
The gift was prepared by Zhao Yuxi, it was not very expensive, it was an agate pendant. The one Liu Yan was holding was a bunch of grapes, purple grapes, and two green leaves on it, which were particularly delicate and exquisite.
"This is good, I'm going to skewer it when I go back."
Liu Fang's is a pomegranate, and Liu Yu's is a red peach, both of which are lovely, meaningful and good fruits.
Empress Cao took Liu Yan's grape and gave it back to her with a smile.
It's good to send something like this. If you really give something worth a thousand dollars, it will be too out-of-the-box.
If Empress Cao is not good at asking in detail, Yingluo is looking for rosin outside, and she has asked everything she can and should ask.
Of course, Rosin will not hide it from Yingluo.
There's nothing to hide, even the pony met on the bedpost last night.
Rosin actually understands very well that although the princess is married, the princess's confidence in acting in the future depends on whether the backer behind her is hard or not. If the queen cares about it, even if the princess gets married, life will be better. On the other hand, if the palace ignores her in the future and loses favor, the husband's family will not respect her as an empty princess.
Yingluo and the rosin sisters made love and chatted for a while, and Yingluo also asked people to bring the materials that the queen gave her the day before yesterday to give to rosin.
Yingluo's time was just right, and after they finished speaking, the second princess and Lu Juma also resigned from the queen and left the palace.
Zhao Yuxi walked out of the gate of Yilan Palace, stopped, and turned his head to look east.
Lu Weining lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"From this side, walk all the way to Dongyuan."
Lu Weining understood.
The princess lived there before she got married.
"But what do you want to bring? Or do you want to check it out? ”
After all, it is a place where she has lived for several years, and it is inevitable that she will miss it when she leaves the palace at first glance.
"No, there's nothing left behind." Zhao Yuxi felt a lot of emotion in her heart, but she would never say many words.
"If I have a chance in the future, I will take you to the Qingyi Hall to have a look."
Lu Weining didn't think about it, but she couldn't help but think about it.
Where did she live before, what was it like?
If I have the chance, I'd like to check it out.
