Xie Mingxi glanced at the county lord of Yongning lightly, and pulled the corners of his mouth: "Inherit my mother's auspicious words." ”

Xie Jun immediately stepped forward and whispered a bunch of instructions. It is nothing more than "after entering the palace, you must be respectful everywhere and must not lose your manners" and the like, and also hinted with ulterior motives that "if you are lucky enough to meet the princes, don't panic" Yunyun.

Old lady Xie felt that her son's instructions were not careful enough, so she specially added: "Ming Niang, you must behave well when you enter the palace today, and you must leave a good impression on the emperor and the queen." ”

Xu Shi couldn't squeeze forward, and only had time to say: "Stability is the first thing in everything, and you can't be reckless." ”

The grandmother, who is not related by blood, really shows her concern.

Xie Mingxi smiled at Xu and got into the carriage.

The carriage moved forward smoothly and soon disappeared in front of the eyes of everyone in Xie Mansion.

……

The time is right.

Outside the Donghua Gate, more than a dozen carriages have been parked. There was still a steady stream of carriages coming in the back.

The palace gate has not yet opened, and a group of carriages can only wait outside the Donghua gate.

Against the backdrop of all kinds of gorgeous carriages, the carriages of Xie Mansion are ordinary. Quietly parked in the rear, unobtrusive. Xie Mingxi sat quietly, looking straight ahead, his eyes were heavy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Half an hour later.

Congyu couldn't hold it back, quietly lifted the curtain and looked out, then turned his head and whispered: "Miss, the palace gate hasn't opened yet!" ”

Xie Mingxi snorted.

Fuyu couldn't help but mutter, "I don't know how long I'll have to wait." ”

Xie Mingxi said lightly: "Today is the Shangyuan Festival, and all the concubines and princesses in the palace are here, and even the Queen Mother will show up." Everything in the palace has to be asked by the queen. As a student, what does it matter if I wait a while! ”

Xie Mingxi opened his mouth, and Congyu Fuyu was immediately silenced.

The young lady is usually easy-going, but once she sinks her face, she will exude a strange majesty and coldness, which makes people feel awe-inspired.

Another half hour passed.

The heavy vermilion palace gate finally opened.

I don't know which carriage it was, and there was a small cheer. Soon, the cheer was swallowed back.

Xie Mingxi quietly curled the corners of his mouth, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

The cheer just now was clearly Yin Xiaoxiao's voice.

……

The girls who had been waiting outside the palace gate for a long time finally got off the carriage.

On weekdays, I have to say hello and say hello to my familiar classmates. Today, no one dares to look around, let alone make a noise. One by one, they stood quietly beside the carriage.

A palace maid with a beautiful face appeared at the palace gate, swept her eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "The queen has a will, please all the girls go to the Jiaofang Hall and wait for the queen to summon you." ”

Empress Yu would go to the Lotus Pond Academy every month to teach, and she was accompanied by palace maids from time to time. The face of this palace maid is not unfamiliar to the students of Lotus Pond Academy.

It was Zhilan, the palace maid beside Empress Yu.

The girls should say yes in unison.

There was no need for Zhilan to order, and the girls entered the palace gate in turn in the order in which they came. The footsteps are light and silent.

After entering the palace gate, the girls automatically and spontaneously stood in five columns according to their usual habits. There is a column for students in each house. Then, in the order of the school, the peony school went first, and the begonia school was last.

Zhilan's eyes showed a look of satisfaction.

These girls are all students of Niangniang, and they all represent Niangniang's face. Fortunately, the girls have undergone strict etiquette teaching, and no one has lost their manners and made a fool of themselves.

……

Jiaofang Palace.

Today, it is the Empress Dowager Li who sits at the top, and Empress Yu is at the bottom of the Empress Dowager Li.

Empress Dowager Li, who is covered with fat powder and heavy makeup, looks like a beauty from a distance, but it is a little scary up close. The wrinkles at the corners of the eyes on the forehead can't be covered up no matter how much fat powder you apply.

Empress Dowager Li was red, wearing a red palace dress, her lips were painted scarlet, and her long nails were also bright red.

Empress Yu also wore a red palace dress. The face is thin with grease powder, and the temperament is noble.

The concubines in the palace were seated according to their grades.

Concubine Mei, who has recovered from her illness, has a little plump cheeks, a smile on her lips, and her sick face is gone. The beauty of the six palaces has also returned.

The cold and silent sixth princess stood beside Concubine Mei.

Several princes have not yet appeared at this time.

Empress Dowager Li took a sip of tea, and then opened her mouth with a smile: "The mourning family is so old, it's good to see the excitement." Today, I want to see what the world-famous students of Lotus Pond Academy are like! ”

When talking about the four words famous all over the world, Empress Dowager Li's tone showed a little mockery.

Empress Yu smiled faintly quietly: "The queen mother said that she laughed." It's just a little girl who is interested in studying and learning, how can she be famous all over the world. ”

Empress Dowager Li glanced at Empress Yu with a smile: "The queen said this, but she was too humble. The Lotus Pond Academy has today, but it is all the credit of the queen. ”

Empress Yu continued to smile lightly: "If there is no approval from the queen mother, the daughter-in-law can go out of the palace every month to the Lotus Pond Academy to teach students as a master." And thank you to the queen mother. ”

The fighting method of the most noble mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the world, none of the concubines dared to interject, and they hung their heads one by one.

Empress Dowager Li was choked once, and she was quite unhappy, and said with a smile: "Queen, it's not too early, let the students come to see you!" ”

Empress Yu responded and immediately gave the order.

……

A bunch of young girls rushed into the Jiaofang Palace.

All of them are young, with outstanding appearance and different temperaments.

Then, under the guidance of the palace maid Zhilan, all the girls saluted together: "I have seen the queen mother, I have seen the queen mother." Dozens of pleasant and delicate girlish voices gathered together, and it was extremely pleasant.

This scene is really rare. Even a few years ago, Emperor Jianwen's beauty pageant entered the palace, and there was no such grand scene.

Empress Dowager Li's eyes swept over the pretty faces of the girls, her mood suddenly improved, and she said with a smile: "Okay! Good! No rude flat! ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" After thanking them neatly, the girls stood up straight, but no one looked up, their eyes slightly lowered.

Worthy of being a student of Lotus Pond Academy!

This etiquette alone is far better than ordinary ladies!

The concubines only felt that their eyes lit up, and they looked at them quietly.

The second prince has become married, and Concubine Xian glanced at it casually and withdrew her gaze. Concubine Li, Concubine Jing, each of them is worried about the candidate for their future daughter-in-law, so they naturally have to look at it carefully.

If you don't look at it, it's enough, and at a glance, it's quite dizzying.

This one is beautiful, and that one is pretty. This temperament is dignified, and that is beautiful and lovely...... Eh, I can't see it.

By the way, who is that Miss Xie San who is famous in the capital? There are so many girls, all of them are beautiful and beautiful, where can you see it?

Where is Xie Mingxi?

The sixth princess searched quietly for a while, and finally found Xie Mingxi's figure through the shadows.
