Chapter 174: The Queen Mother's Reward

"What Prince Gong said is very true, besides, the mourning family likes you, and it is the intention of the mourning family to give you something good. If you can please the mourners in the future as they are today, it will not only be these things that the mourners will reward you in the future. There are still a lot of good things in the mourning family! Alright, take it. ”

Tang Yining was stunned for a moment, looked at Prince Gong on the side, and then at the Queen Mother, she hooked her lips and smiled gracefully.

"Yining, thank the Empress Dowager for your reward."

"I've been staying in the Cining Palace of the mourning family, so I guess Yining is also bored, right? Have you ever been in the palace before? The Queen Mother asked with a smile.

You know, the Queen Mother doesn't say that all the concubines in the capital remember, but they are all a little familiar. Like Tang Yining, without information, the Queen Mother knows that Tang Yining should be a concubine, even if she is a concubine, she is not favored.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the last time I entered the palace was during the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet. Before that, Yi Ning had never entered the palace. ”

The Queen Mother looked out the window, then stood up and said, "Come!" Yining, you rarely enter the palace, and the mourning family will take you to take a good look at the scenery in this palace, which is extremely good. When people are old, if they don't move around more, otherwise they will soon be useless. ”

Seeing this, Tang Yining immediately stepped forward, held the Queen Mother's hand and said, "What the Queen Mother said is very true, why don't we go out and take a walk at will?" ”

"Well, let's go. Prince Gong's family's family also followed together. ”

In September, the fairy lake is a piece of sand.

Tang Yining carefully held the hand of the Queen Mother to Xinghu, and the Queen Mother wore a wide-sleeved pink brocade satin robe, lined with Su embroidered scattered brocade shirt, and combed with a high circulation cloud bun. Prince Gong followed the two of them half a step slowly, walking.

On the shore of the Star Lake, the breeze was blowing, Tang Yining and the Queen Mother walked quietly by the Star Lake, the palace maid behind them held the guard of honor, and there were palace people walking around in the distance, and there were concubines boating in the lake.

The palace people passing by, when they saw the Queen Mother, they all bowed down and saluted, but the Queen Mother didn't look at them at all, and walked past them as if they didn't see it.

At this time, those concubines will secretly spit out an unclean word, and the queen mother will not be angry even if she accidentally hears it.

Although Tang Yining was strange in her heart, she also knew that it was better not to make a sound at this time, the queen mother's temper was originally unpredictable, and she was strangely tight all these years, and she had been living in the palace and refused to come out, even those concubines who wanted to visit her rarely saw the queen mother, no matter how she said it.

"The Queen Mother hasn't come out to ventilate for a long time, and it's been three years since the last time she came to the Star Lake in the palace." The Queen Mother's personal maid said beside her.

Tang Yining chuckled in his heart when he heard the phrase "three years ago", it seems that the Queen Mother's perennial residence in Cining Palace is not a rumor.

But the Queen Mother, why did she live in this deep palace for a long time and not move around? Tang Yining was really a little puzzled. But I didn't ask anything, knowing that sometimes it's not a good thing to know too much.

At this time, the queen mother was wearing the golden hairpin given by Tang Yining on her head, and at this time she actually had a bit of a girlish feeling.

"Yi Ning, look at it. Is this hairpin good looking good on the head of the mourning family? ”

Tang Yining hurriedly responded: "This queen mother lined with blood jade and golden hairpins has a ruddy complexion, which is naturally very good-looking. ”

"There are countless people in this palace who want to please the mourning family, and they can be lined up from here to outside the Xuanwu Gate, and there are countless concubines in the palace who want to please the mourning family, but do you know why the mourning family favors you? Like the golden hairpin you sent? The Queen Mother said meaningfully.

Tang Yining was slightly stunned, and it was the same. The Queen Mother's reaction today was a little beyond Tang Yining's expectations. She thought that the Queen Mother should like the golden hairpin she sent, but she shouldn't have such a big reaction.

You know, as a woman in the deep palace, what kind of treasures have the Queen Mother never seen? If she was favored just because of an ingenious golden hairpin, it would be impossible.

"You are a very smart person, you naturally know what the mourning family means, you have a fate with the mourning family, you can please the mourning family, make the mourning family happy, and the mourning family will naturally like you."

The Queen Mother did not turn her head, her eyes stared at the plain and waveless lake, and her eyes were also quiet.

At first glance, she felt that she had a fate with this child, and the child's eyes were very clear, just like herself before entering the palace, and she couldn't help but pay more attention to her.

Later, I learned that this child was the woman who was promised to Xie Tianrui to be the princess of the county, and she couldn't help but care more about her, this child is smart and clever, and will please her, aside from the exquisite golden hairpin, she has this filial piety, which is very good.

In this palace, there are fewer and fewer people who can talk to her, she can see that this child is different from those concubines who will only compete for the wind and be jealous, she is kind-hearted, and she will not meet her, and the words she says are from her heart, and being able to meet this child can be regarded as a little comfort for her in this deep palace.

But Tang Yining didn't understand, just because of a golden hairpin, how could the Queen Mother say so many words that made her unpredictable.

Tang Yining suddenly felt that she didn't seem to understand what the Queen Mother meant, let alone why the Queen Mother suddenly valued her so much. Her process of currying favor with the Queen Mother was too smooth, so smooth that Tang Yining couldn't believe it.

Is the rumored unapproachable Queen Mother really the old man by her side now? How did she feel that something was wrong? However, the strange thing is that Tang Yining did not feel threatened by the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother should be sincere to her.

Don't dare to say anything else, go directly, Tang Yining still has a certain amount of self-confidence.

"Yining was able to get the love of the Queen Mother, and she was naturally very happy in her heart. But the Queen Mother was so kind to Yining, and she also rewarded Yining with so many precious jewelry, Yining was very worried in her heart......"

Tang Yining's hands let go of the Queen Mother, clasped tightly, her fingers deeply embedded in the flesh, she was at home facing her father and mother, she was all this well-behaved little jasper.

Looking at Tang Yining's appearance, the Queen Mother suddenly smiled, took Tang Yining's hand and patted it slightly, and then said: "It's not too early, you should go back first, I guess I'm tired of entering the palace early this morning to accompany the mourning family to the lake." It's time for the mourning family to go back to Cining Palace to rest, and the next time the mourning family wants you to accompany the mourning family, the mourning family will naturally announce your entry into the palace. ”

Tang Yining wanted to say something more to the Queen Mother, but Princess Gong pulled Tang Yining's clothes on the side and said, "Yes, the Queen Mother." Then the Queen Mother, you go back to rest earlier, and the concubine will take Yining back first. ”

"Hmm!"

"The Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an! The concubines/grass people retired first. With that, the two of them saluted and left.

When the two walked out of the palace gate, while waiting for the carriage of Prince Gong's mansion, Tang Yining asked a little puzzled: "Princess, why don't you let Yining ask clearly?" The Queen Mother doesn't seem to have anything to say. ”

"The most taboo thing in the palace is to get to the bottom of it, if the Queen Mother wants to tell you, even if you don't ask, the Queen Mother will tell you, okay, you don't ask too much, don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

As she spoke, Princess Gong took the maid's hand and got into the carriage.

Tang Yining looked at the back of Princess Gong, thoughtfully, it seemed that she was still too tender.

By the time Tang Yining returned to the General's Mansion, it was already the third watch.

The reason why the Queen Mother let her walk around with her in the palace to breathe her breath must be because she took her out to show the concubines. Although she understood that the Queen Mother would do this because she favored her, the Queen Mother's actions still surprised her a little.

After all, she didn't expect the Queen Mother to protect her so quickly.

If it was just because of a hairpin, the Queen Mother would definitely not make such a move. It can be seen from the reaction of the Queen Mother that in fact, although the Queen Mother and Tianrui used to be in love with their ancestors and grandchildren, the affection has also faded.

And when the Queen Mother talked to her, she only mentioned Xie Tianrui slightly, and she seemed to be more concerned about her life? It made her think that she was delusional.

The Queen Mother, who has never liked to talk to people, actually told her a lot of the Queen Mother's past life that day, but it was all before entering the palace.

Tang Yining still remembers the leisurely look on the Queen Mother's face when she mentioned the past.

"Yining, do you know that not all women want to enter the palace as concubines? Thinking back then, when the mourning family was fourteen years old, she was sent to the palace as a show girl, and since then she has walked on ice with both feet, and there is no chance to leave the palace. ”

Thinking of the Queen Mother's sigh at that time, Tang Yining suddenly seemed to understand something, and her eyes gradually became distant.

"Little Cui! Lighting! ”

Tang Yining thought of this, so he asked Xiao Cui to use a thin stick to light the candle, took out the gold and silver jewelry rewarded by the Queen Mother and placed it on the table, and began to study it carefully.

Rows of lights illuminated the jewels in the box, and also reflected Tang Yining's face. Now, if someone is there, they can see the beauty under the lamp, but the beauty raises her green jade fingers and caresses the jewels.

When Tang Yining saw the carvings on those precious jewelry, his delicate face wrinkled.

The carved ornaments on these jewels that the Queen Mother gave her are really ingenious. She has never even seen some lines, and these jewelry are casually given to others? How many treasures and jewels in this royal family she hadn't seen before?

Or is there something else going on in there? It must be not easy, right?

Tang Yining has never loved vanity and the monetary value of these jewelry, but loves these ancient long-lost arts, which are not seen in modern times, and wants to explore these ancient long-lost handicrafts.
