You must know that although the Queen Mother lives deep in the palace, she is high above, and the people below are even more flattering. Therefore, at that time, Tang Yining wasted a lot of effort when selecting materials, found a rare piece of blood jade from the Western Regions, and specially cut and polished it into small rubies and embedded them on it.

"Miss, your idea is really ingenious, give it to the Queen Mother, and when the Queen Mother sees this hairpin, she will definitely be happy. In addition, this hairpin is so exquisitely made, it must be a unique part of the capital. ”

At this time, a little maid in a yellow dress walked in, still carrying this morning's meal, and the old lady hurriedly raised her wide sleeves to block the golden hairpin.

"What's the matter with you? Why are you so unruly! The old lady rebuked very dissatisfied.

You know, this is a big taboo, but fortunately, the two of them didn't say anything confidential just now. If you say something that cannot be known to others, let others know.

Leaving aside the degree of loyalty of this maid, there are some things that only the fewer people know, the safer they are.

The little maid in the yellow dress was startled and wanted to kneel, but she was still holding Tang Yining's meal in her hand, and said with teary eyes for a while: "Miss, the slave maid, the slave maid saw that you had not announced breakfast for a long time, and the slave maid came in on her own initiative." Please forgive me! ”

"Put it here......"

Before Tang Yining finished speaking, the old lady spoke first and interrupted Tang Yining's words.

"Alright, let's put it down and get out. Seeing that you are a first-time offender this time, forget it. If there is a next time you come in without permission, you will not be spared. ”

Tang Yining was slightly stunned and asked Mama: "Mama, what was ...... you just now" She naturally knew what the purpose of the old mama was doing this, but just now she was interrupted before she finished speaking, which really made her feel very dissatisfied.

The subordinate must have the appearance of the subordinate, even if he is close to the master, he must understand that he cannot make decisions for the master at will, and he cannot overstep his responsibilities. Tang Yining felt that she had to find an opportunity to talk to the old lady about this, otherwise something would go wrong sooner or later.

"In this house, there are a lot of girls with unclean hands and feet, Miss, you still have a snack, be more wary of them, this is a rare object that you want to give to the Queen Mother, the value must be Liancheng, Miss still take care of it, don't be stolen by someone with a heart." Saying that, the old lady looked out very vigilantly, worried that some girls who didn't have long eyes were eavesdropping on the corner of the wall.

Although Tang Yining couldn't cry or laugh, she also understood what the old lady meant, smiled and locked the box, and then went to breakfast.

Today's breakfast has four happy pearl balls, Tang Yining knew that the old lady next to him liked this dish quite a lot, and gave that plate to the old lady to eat by saying that she had not digested well recently. After the old lady thanked her, Tang Yining took the opportunity to throw out her own questions.

"Mama, are there any grand events in the palace recently that can allow royal ladies to enter the palace? Well, or is there any way to meet the Queen Mother? ”

The old lady thought for a while and said, "Didn't the Mid-Autumn Festival just pass a few days ago, and it will take a long time after the Mid-Autumn Festival to celebrate the festival." And on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Queen Mother only came for a while, according to the past, if other festivals are not too important, the Queen Mother generally does not attend. Now, probably only the Queen Mother will come forward in person at next year's sacrifice. ”

Tang Yining frowned, "Priest next year?" ”

She suddenly remembered that there was an annual sacrifice in the ancient court, hoping that the coming year would be smooth and rainy, the grain would be harvested, and there would be high priests in the palace who used turtle shells for divination, and at this time, the most respected person in the palace would be invited to preside, and the respected host was bound to be the queen mother.

However, it will be a long time before the sacrifice ceremony, but what she wants to do cannot be delayed.

"Yes."

Tang Yining frowned slightly, she suddenly remembered that she made this hairpin to give it to the Queen Mother as a birthday gift when she was in the Queen Mother's thousands of years. hurriedly asked, "What about the Queen Mother Qianqiu?" ”

The old lady looked at Tang Yining with some hesitation, and then said softly: "Miss, your identity can't go to the Queen Mother's Qianqiu Banquet." ”

Tang Yining still remembered Xie Tianrui's reminder in the end, so he made the golden hairpin birthday gift that he originally thought would be sent to the Queen Mother in Qianqiu not long after. I also decided to find another gift for the Queen Mother's birthday, and I wanted to give the golden hairpin to the Queen Mother in advance.

But what she didn't estimate was that everything was ready, but she couldn't find a chance to meet the Queen Mother. If you can't see the Queen Mother, this golden hairpin can't be sent. The golden hairpin must be handed over to the Queen Mother by herself, so that the Queen Mother can remember her as a person.

If you drag someone else's hand, will it cause unnecessary trouble, not to mention, the Queen Mother must not have any impression of this, after all, the number of people who give gifts to the Queen Mother every year is not known, how can she remember a little general's concubine who has never met?

Just when her heart was in a hurry, the old lady on the side suddenly spoke.

"Miss, forgive the old slave for talking too much, when does this hairpin miss plan to go in and present it to the Queen Mother?"

Tang Yining frowned, she originally planned to dedicate it to the Queen Mother when she entered the palace recently, but the banquet time for the next time she entered the palace was still so long, and this matter should be sooner rather than later. If she can't see the Queen Mother earlier, it means that she will be in more danger, thinking of this, her heart suddenly jumped, and she was a little flustered.

You must know that since Xie Tianrui said those words, Tang Yining thought about it, the queen is in charge of the harem mother world, if she really finds a reason to let her enter the palace, she really can't help but enter.

When the time comes, if the queen really does anything to her, she will call the heavens and the earth unwilling. Therefore, if you want to save your life, it is very important to hold a thick and strong thigh.

The one who can balance the queen is, of course, the queen's mother-in-law, the queen mother. Now, she can't see the Queen Mother at all, and she can't please the Queen Mother, how can she hug the Queen Mother's thighs?

The old lady has been with Tang Yining for so long, why don't she know what she is worried about at this time, her young lady has always been kind-hearted, and often rewards her with some food, and now she knows that the young lady wants to enter the palace to see the queen mother.

She wanted to do something to help her young lady, but she didn't know where to start, and besides, she was just an old slave, and she was too shy to help her.

"Mama, I heard that Xie Tianrui, the king of the little county, is very eye-catching in front of the emperor, but I don't know what the relationship between the king of the little county and the queen mother is?" Tang Yining didn't know why, and suddenly thought of Xie Tianrui.

The old lady suddenly lit up because of Tang Yining's words, yes, now that the young lady has been married to the little county king, the princess of the county who has not passed through the door with the little county king, if she asks the little county king for help, the little county king should be able to help, right?

Anyway, there's just another little hope!

The old lady lowered her eyebrows and replied quickly: "The queen mother used to like the little county king very much, and when the little county king was still in his infancy, she kept holding it, and almost didn't let other concubines touch it, this matter is something that the whole capital knows." The little king was laughed at when he was young, and he felt ashamed, and he has kept our mouths tight all these years. ”

In this way, the relationship between the Queen Mother and Tianrui is also very good, but after so many years, Tianrui and they live outside the palace, presumably people go to tea and cool, and their feelings are a lot weaker.

Thinking about it back then, I don't know why, the Queen Mother liked Xie Tianrui who was still in infancy, even the emperor's little grandson, the eldest prince at that time was not as good as Xie Tianrui's position in the Queen Mother's heart.

The women in the deep palace are the most emotionless, except for children. She heard Tianrui say that he was sent out of the palace when he was six or seven years old, and at that time it coincided with the new emperor's accession to the throne and the gift of the queen mother.

In addition, although Prince Gong is not the queen mother's parent, he is still quite filial to the queen mother.

At that time, although the Queen Mother was worried about Tianrui in her heart, but the overall situation was important, after she heard that she was taken out of the palace and into the palace to live, she did not insist on stopping him, let alone often summoning him into the palace, although it sounded a little unbelievable, but she could estimate and assume that their relationship had slowly faded over the years.

According to the current estimate, the Queen Mother does not have a deep friendship with Tianrui now. Isn't this the way to go?

"Then Mama, you said that if I asked the little prince to take me into the palace to see the queen mother, can you?"

Tang Yining didn't know how to enter the palace at all, if she knew that she was going to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother in the end, she should have asked Xie Tianrui what to do that morning, and now this is not up or down......

"This ......" The old lady really didn't know, if she knew, she would have told her own miss early in the morning, but she didn't know, so she followed her own young lady here in a hurry.

"Forget it, I'm just asking. You go down first, let me be quiet alone, and think about any other way to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother. Tang Yining waved her hand at the old woman.

She thought about it, and felt more and more that something was wrong, so she withdrew the old lady first, and wanted to think about how to go to the palace to meet the queen mother by herself.

The Queen Mother has lived in the deep palace for a long time, she naturally knows that the Queen Mother is not something that anyone can see if she wants to, and she has no suitable reason to see it now.

She lifted the jade chopsticks, took a few vegetables and put them in her mouth, chewed them carefully, and still recalled the words that the old grandmother said just now. Thinking about it, I want to find some more valuable clues from it.

She thought about it, but found nothing. Tang Yining still felt that she should go and discuss with Xie Tianrui together, and now it seems that her strength alone is obviously not enough.
