"Sisters, don't make fun of me."

Jian Ning was helpless, "The court clothes are really heavy, I don't know how many layers inside and out, this winter is fine, but the summer is almost sick; Let's talk about this phoenix crown...... If you really want to bring the crown, you must bear its weight! ”

The queen laughed, "Sister, don't be sad, you see that those Xiyi mothers whose waists are strangled are even harder than us!" ”

Jian Ning laughed with a "poof", "I'm ashamed to hear my sister say that." ”

After that, he got up and asked people to take the court clothes and put them on one by one.

The imperial concubine's court dress is about the same as that of the queen, except for the red haze veil, the bright yellow color represents a special status in the palace.

Its silk and other crafts can only be used by a few people, and the phoenix crown on the head is specially formulated by Zhengde, breaking the regulation that the imperial concubine cannot use dragons.

The queen's phoenix crown nine dragons and four phoenixes, the imperial concubine six dragons and three phoenixes, the imperial concubine, the princess, the crown princess nine and four phoenixes. It is foreseeable that Jian Ning's court dress will become a common practice, just like the imperial concubine has a golden treasure.

After some scourking, Jian Ning came out of the room with heavy steps, and sighed again and again when she saw the queen and others, "This is really terrible!" ”

Xia Shi laughed to death, "How can you say so exaggerated?" Let's go, don't let the Queen Mother wait. ”

The group sat in a sedan chair, and Gardenia was also taken to Cining Palace.

The English envoys came to visit and brought their daughters, who returned to the Queen Mother to entertain them, which made the Queen Mother, who had never had anything to do, feel novel. In the past, Xiyi rarely brought female dependents when he visited, and even if he brought a low level, he was not worthy of being entertained by the queen mother. But this time the Yingyi came different, they brought the princess of the royal family over, and the Ming Dynasty has grabbed land with Spain over the years, and Spain is stubbornly holding the route to the New World, which makes the Ming people very annoyed. Hearing that Yingyi had the intention to compete with the Spaniards, he naturally wanted to be grandly entertained.

When I arrived at Cining Palace, it was already busy. Although there was only a princess and a few noble ladies, it was the first time for the Ming Dynasty and the United Kingdom, so the two sides also attached great importance to this lady diplomacy.

"The concubine asks the Queen Mother for peace, and the Queen Mother is blessed with peace and security."

"Get up."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Wait for the English princess to come, you all sit down." Imperial Concubine, why are you still so plain today? Today, we can't fall into the national prestige of our Ming Dynasty, this makeup still needs to be more gorgeous. ”

Jian Ning smiled and said: "Queen Mother, you don't know those Western mothers-in-law, their faces are rubbed like white walls, so ah, we have to be light, so that they look elegant." ”

The Queen Mother glared at her and said angrily: "As long as you have a lot of eyes, you can always find a reason even if you are lazy." ”

The queen and the others immediately laughed, "Queen Mother, haven't you seen Sister Jian wearing court clothes, so where are you wearing clothes?" It's almost like going to the execution ground. ”

"She's ......"

The Queen Mother shook her head, "She is willing to teach and educate people, and she is also willing to write books, but she doesn't like to dress up or love these red tape...... That's it, that's it, you go and smear some gaudy lipstick, and you'll pass the test. ”

Saying that, he asked his palace maid to bring her lipstick to Jian Ning, and Jian Ning blessed her body, "Yes, the concubine respectfully obeys the decree of the Queen Mother." ”

"Look at this character, it is really a careful eye in the emperor's mouth, and the mourning family is also poor, Yizhi has come out, and the mourning family seems to have bullied you."

"It's just that the Queen Mother is kind, otherwise how dare the concubines be presumptuous?"

"Oh, kindness should be bullied?"

The Queen Mother was obviously in a good mood, and she was poor with Jian Ning for a while before she was asked to put on makeup.

When everything was put in order, the English princess and the ladies also entered the palace. The magnificence of the Forbidden City amazed these Englishmen, and in fact, these Englishwomen have been amazed all the way, and they have not stopped marveling since they entered the Ming Dynasty. But all the amazement was not worth the moment, the palace in front of them was too grand, although the style was completely different from the British, but they still felt an indescribable beauty.

And it was even more so big that they didn't know how long they had walked to get to this palace, which was still so magnificent and magnificent that it was worthy of the residence of the most noble woman in the world.

When they entered the temple, the porcelain in the house almost blinded their eyes, and it was a golden country, and its wealth was unimaginable to the people. The eyes of these women from foreign lands swept greedily over these exquisite porcelain, and finally fell on the body of the concubine of the Daming Palace.

The amazement kept flashing in their eyes, so that they forgot the etiquette they should have, but Princess Mary, who was only nine years old, looked quite magnanimous, bent her knees slightly, and after performing a standard Western-style blessing salute, she said in an angry Daming official voice: "Respected Queen Mother, Her Royal Highness, good afternoon." ”

The Queen Mother felt strange, this foreigner's child was the first time she had seen it, but she didn't expect these red-haired ghost children to be very good-looking. In addition, he is worthy of being a child of the royal family, and his bearing is different.

Although it still looks crude......

Jian Ning looked at the little princess with curiosity in her eyes. If you're not mistaken, this is Mary I, the famous Bloody Mary, right?

At this moment, Mary seemed very innocent, and her blue eyes were also full of curiosity about Daming. It's just that maybe it was her mother's experience that made her a little difficult in the British palace, but she knew how to restrain herself even though she was only nine years old.

No wonder he can succeed in winning the throne in the future, but he has seen the old since he was a child.

The princess's salute brought the others back to their senses, and they all pulled on their skirts and saluted.

The queen's face turned red, how could these Xiyi women be so shameless, how could they pull their skirts at will?

Fortunately, the West is still relatively conservative now, and in a few later years, all white flowers will be exposed, and it is estimated that the queen and others will faint.

Jian Ning's attention was not on this, but on listening carefully to what these people had to say. Sure enough, the English at this time was very different from that of later generations, and I could only barely listen to it. But those translations are really awesome, one by one, and the meaning is actually similar to her own translation?

Retranslation is a very complicated job, and these Chinese who go out are really amazing!

Let a group of people get up, the Queen Mother asked people to serve refreshments, and said with a smile: "We have a saying in China that there are friends from afar, and we are very happy." A few people came across the ocean, all the way around, just for the love of the Ming Dynasty and England, today's mourning family on behalf of the Son of Heaven to entertain you, I hope you will like today's snacks and dishes. ”

Listening to the translator's words, Mary picked up a piece of mung bean cake with some curiosity and took a bite, a sweet taste spreading on her taste buds. The taste is a little weird, but it's a little unstoppable.

In this day and age, sweetness is always a luxury taste experience, even if she is not very accustomed to that bean taste, Mary is still reluctant to put down the mung bean cake in her hand.

"Here, try this, this is chaise chicken cake."

The Queen Mother looked proud, "This thing was invented by my Ming Imperial Concubine, called Chicken Cake; Later, it was rumored that outside the palace, the people took the name of the concubine. This thing is soft and sweet, and the taste is very beautiful. ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Mary stood up and saluted, and asked, "I have heard that the imperial concubine of your country is not only good at food, but also erudite, and is the most famous writer in your country, I wonder if she can come today?" I came at my father's behest to see what a woman who wrote a book like the Rise of the Empire must be! ”

The Queen Mother was even more proud, and hurriedly said: "Of course you can." This is the imperial concubine, her surname is Jane, and the small character is Yunshu. ”

"Hello, Imperial Concubine."

Jane Ning returned the salute and said with a smile, "Hello, Princess Mary, it's an honor to meet you." ”

"Do you know English?!"

Mary exclaimed, and the Queen Mother was also surprised, "Imperial Concubine, how can you tell them Xiyi?" ”

Jian Ning bowed and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, your son will too!" I learned it all from him. ”

"The imperial concubine is really studious."

The Queen Mother shook her head, "The mourning family doesn't want to learn anything at your age."

"How can the Queen Mother talk nonsense? You've learned a lot over the years, knitting sweaters, making scarves, making pastries......"

Jian Ning said with a smile: "It's just that everyone has their own strengths, and concubines prefer to learn some strange things." ”

The Queen Mother was happy at once, "No wonder Zhao'er likes you, your mouth is sweet." ”

Mary looked at Janening, and her little heart was greatly shaken. This is the real lady and lady, although I can't understand what they are saying, but the free chic and elegant between talking and laughing is something she can't learn, it is a kind of self-confidence from the heart, not just relying on a few rigid movements to pile up.

What's more, this woman is probably the most knowledgeable woman in the world today, right? When she was in England, she had heard a lot of stories about this woman. Her life was full of intrigue and bitterness when she was just sensible, and it was this woman's story that inspired her in those days when she couldn't see the light of day.

A commoner climbed to this position by her own efforts and talents, and made her husband love her alone, if anyone in this world wants to say that she is happy, then this person is the only one left, right?

How unfair is God? gave her beauty and talent to the same person, and now she has also been given power and wealth......

In comparison, I am like an ugly reptile......

Mary thought so, but soon remembered a famous quote from this woman: Knowledge changes destiny.

Maybe I should study hard, too? My father didn't take it seriously to himself. Oh, perhaps, otherwise who would let their women go on adventures at sea? I also let myself study here, saying that I would let myself go back when the time is right......

This is clearly giving up on yourself, right?

Maybe I can start over in Daming?

Little Mary, who was eating Chinese food, looked absent-minded, and then looked at Gardenia next to her, who was only one year older than her, this Chinese princess's treatment was obviously too good, even if she was not born to the queen, but the queen was very good to her, which made her feel a little jealous.

If only the queen could do the same to her......
