Chapter 172: Meet the Queen Mother

"This ......" Speaking of this court etiquette, Tang Yining is really a little weak-hearted.

The predecessor was because she hadn't studied, and later, everyone thought she would, and no one ever mentioned this issue. Her court etiquette is still because she was obsessed with ancient ornaments for a period of time and came into contact with it a little.

But to say that the etiquette of systematic learning is really unprecedented. At the palace banquet before, there were so many people, and no one noticed her, so naturally no one said anything about her etiquette.

Now follow Prince Gong and Princess Gong to see the Queen Mother, if there is something wrong with few people, it will easily attract everyone's attention, and even attract everyone's jokes. Especially Prince Gong, who brought her into the palace, will lose face because of this.

"It doesn't matter! I've already prepared a mama here, if you don't have anything else to do now, you can stay and learn from mama. I don't know, what do you think? "Prince Gong can only say that it is a suggestion, and she will not force it. But smart people already know what to do, which is the best.

"That would be better, it's really hard, Princess, you are still planning for me like this." Tang Yining said with joy on his face.

This time, she came over and brought over the Jin Bu Shao that she was going to give to Prince Gong last time. The last time we had dinner, Tang Yining had already brought gifts over and was going to give them to Princess Gong.

Who knew that being gaged by Xie Tianrui made Tang Yining forget about it all of a sudden, and after he went back, he didn't react until he found out Jin Buyao, and his meeting gift hadn't been given yet.

"Princess, I wanted to give you a gift last time, but I was in a hurry, so I didn't have time to prepare. This is the golden step shake that I specially made for you these days, I hope you like it. With that, Tang Yining handed Jin Buyan to Prince Gong.

Princess Gong took the golden step shake and took a closer look, the handicraft is indeed good, and the style is relatively novel, so it can be seen that it is a very sincere gift.

"I like it very much, I have a heart. In this case, the time is relatively tight, why not start now? ”

"Good!" Tang Yining saw that the princess really liked it, and she got closer to the princess.

There is nothing more rewarding than being recognized for the results of her own work, not to mention that the princess is still really good for her.

Then Mama walked in and took Tang Yining to another place to start teaching. One teaches very hard, the other learns very hard, this comes and goes, and the efficiency will naturally go up.

Soon, after Tang Yining had almost learned, Mama let someone take Tang Yining to find Prince Gong. When Princess Gong saw the two of them, she was still a little surprised, she didn't expect Tang Yining to learn so quickly, she must have learned it before.

In this way, there was a beautiful misunderstanding, but it was really not because Tang Yining had learned it.

"It's not too early, then I won't leave you to eat, the carriage is already ready outside, and there will be a carriage to pick you up early tomorrow morning." Princess Gong put down the book in her hand and said very lovingly.

Tang Yining bowed her head happily, saluted and said, "Yining thanks the princess for her love, then Yining will go back first." Ming'er will come to disturb the princess again in the morning, and ask the princess not to dislike Yining's clumsiness. ”

"Go ahead."

The maid on the side walked out and left with Tang Yining.

The next day, the light broke. The wide carriage galloped along the official road, and several horses stepped past, leaving shallow hoof-like footprints.

The news of the Queen Mother came after yesterday afternoon, Prince Gong had planned to go to the palace early tomorrow morning, Tang Yining had already asked Prince Gong and Princess Gong, so she listened to the princess's words, and got into the carriage prepared for her by Prince Gong early this morning to meet the princess.

The carriage traveled slowly, the vehicle galloped steadily, Tang Yining and Prince Gong sat in the carriage, the groom drove the car in front, and the green smoke flew out of the gold-painted copper furnace, gradually disappearing into the night, and going farther and farther.

Tang Yining lifted the curtain, the rising sun in the early morning was high, the plains were long, and the warm sun hung a little glow on the quaint dead branches.

She turned her head to look at Prince Gong and Princess Gong, and said with a smile: "Princess, this road is galloping smoothly, I knew that Yining should have brought a game of chess first, so as to relieve my boredom with you, Princess." ”

"I'm fine." The princess shook the fan lightly in her hand and chuckled: "With you talking to me, I won't be bored." ”

"Well, I don't know what you want to hear, princess? Or want to talk to Yi Ning about something? Tang Yining smiled lightly.

Prince Gong's expression suddenly became unfathomable, Tang Yining smiled and poured her tea, and said: "If the princess has anything to say, you might as well tell Yining directly, Yining will be a family with you sooner or later." ”

The princess's face became softer when she heard the phrase "family", yes, sooner or later they will be a family. There seems to be nothing to hide from the family!

"Where did you get those rubies from your golden hairpin?"

Tang Yining didn't talk about the princess asking her this question at all, she thought that the princess would only ask about Xie Tianrui. Or ask her about the past, but she never thought that she would suddenly ask about the gift to the Queen Mother.

"Back to the princess, it's not a ruby, it's a blood jade from the Western Regions."

"Blood Jade?"

Tang Yining put the copper stove aside, took out the wooden box of incense, took out the golden hairpin and put it in the hands of Prince Gong.

"Blood jade because of its appearance and color like blood flowing in its veins, so it is named blood jade, it is rumored that a certain jade craftsman has spent his life to make it, this rumor sounds even more precious blood jade, and it is very rare to see it on the market in the Western Regions."

While listening to Tang Yining, Princess Gong looked at the broken blood jade on the golden hairpin, and then put the hairpin back into Tang Yining's hand.

"This gem is crystal clear, the blood jade is flawless, but it is also chic. Presumably, Narao has always liked the Queen Mother, who has always loved gold jewelry, not to mention that you are not only like this, but also cater to the Queen Mother's liking. ”

Tang Yining listened to Prince Gong's words of appreciation, nodded, and hid the golden hairpin in the original incense treasure box.

"I hope the Queen Mother will like it." Tang Yining didn't dare to boast too much, after all, she hadn't given it to the Queen Mother, and she didn't know how the Queen Mother would react when she saw it.

"How sure do you feel about this time?" Princess Gong asked.

Tang Yining gestured and said softly: "Yining feels that there are about eighty percent." ”

She may not be able to guarantee that the Queen Mother will like this hairpin, but in any case, she feels that this hairpin is indeed very suitable for the Queen Mother.

"However, I seem to have heard Tianrui say, isn't your hairpin going to be given to the Queen Mother on the Queen Mother's birthday? Give it now, on your next birthday, what should you give to the Queen Mother? ”

"The princess doesn't have to worry, Yi Ning has already thought about this. Since I have already given the birthday gift that I originally planned to give to the Queen Mother in advance, it would be good to change it to another equally exquisite birthday gift for the Queen Mother. ”

Soon, the carriage arrived at the palace gate. According to the etiquette system, the two can only get out of the car and go on foot.

Princess Gong and Tang Yining came hand in hand and walked into the Cining Palace. The Queen Mother was holding a stove in her arms, wearing a long-sleeved hollow magnolia cloak, and her cheeks were faintly tired.

After the two saw the Queen Mother, they immediately saluted her. said in unison: "Concubines/grass people, I have seen the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an!" ”

"Let's all get up, it's hard to see each other, why are you so unfamiliar?"

As soon as Tang Yining kept getting up, the Queen Mother saw that Tang Yining was still holding a wooden box in her arms, and asked with some doubts: "What are you holding in your arms?" ”

Tang Yining didn't speak, just looked at the Queen Mother with a smile. Seeing that Tang Yining's expression suddenly became mysterious, the Queen Mother, who had lived in the deep palace for a long time, still didn't understand anything, and immediately said, "You guys go out first." ”

She withdrew from the palace people around her, and then set her eyes on Tang Yining.

"You tell the mourners, what is in your box?"

Tang Yining smiled in a low voice, walked over and put the box in the queen mother's hand.

"The incense box is really ingenious."

The Queen Mother slowly opened the flail on the edge of the box, and the glittering golden hairpin lay in the middle of the box. Rao is queen mother, her eyes flashed, and she said: "This is the treasure you said you want to dedicate to the mourning family?" ”

"Yes." Tang Yining replied, but he was a little nervous in his heart.

The Queen Mother took out the golden hairpin, and then put the hairpin in her hand to play. She has seen so many hairpins in the palace, although this one is not other graceful and luxurious, but it is also small and exquisite, especially the red blood jade on it, which is inlaid at the end of the hairpin and plays an embellishment role on the entire hairpin.

"Blood jade? I have a heart. ”

"How could the Queen Mother know that this is blood jade?" Princess Gong was a little surprised, you must know that she mistook it for a ruby at first.

"The mourning family grew up in the Western Regions, and the blood jade is the most precious treasure in the Western Regions, speaking of which, the mourning family has not seen this thing for decades, but I didn't expect that the mourning family would be able to recognize it when I see it now."

The Queen Mother said in her mouth, but there was some nostalgia on her face. After all, those young years really made people feel what it was to be young and frivolous.

Not now, she's old. It's just that when I think of the youthful vitality of that year, it's still very gratifying.

Tang Yining suddenly felt happy in her heart, the Queen Mother's recognition of blood jade was something she never expected, but this deepened the Queen Mother's homesickness, which was more meaningful.

She didn't know that the Queen Mother grew up in the Western Regions, if it weren't for the fact that this blood jade was too special, she might not have used blood jade as an embellishment at the beginning, and might even just make a golden hairpin alone.

I didn't expect the blood jade to be added by accident, but it really became an unexpected joy.

"Although the materials are not expensive but extremely fine, Queen Mother, the old slave will help you put them on." The old lady of the Queen Mother's entourage saw that the Queen Mother liked this hairpin very much, so she asked if she wanted to wear it.
