Hua Xiyan, who has always slept until he woke up naturally, was woken up by Wen Xia, saying that the person sent by Mrs. Wang had been waiting for a long time. Le Wen Novel|

Hua Xiyan hurriedly sat up, and with the help of Wen Xia, he put his formal clothes on his body. Since there is a sacrifice today, the clothes worn are not the light leno skirts of the past, but modest dresses. The color of crimson purple is embroidered with a bat crescent, the skirt is outlined with gold thread to outline the pattern of wealth and auspicious clouds, and the shawl on the arm is not the light gauze texture of the past, but a real brocade. On the head of the embroidered shoes are two huge eastern pearls, which are shining brightly and dazzling.

Hua Xiyan stood in front of the mirror, looking at the woman who had instantly become extremely rich and dignified because of her clothes, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"Miss, what's there to sigh about, how beautiful it is." Wen Xia asked puzzled while arranging the hem of Hua Xiyan's clothes.

It is true that many people can hope for this outfit, but what is she getting it for, and how much does it cost her?

"Call someone in!"

Hua Xiyan sat in front of the rhombic mirror, and saw a middle-aged woman with a kind face walking in with a smile, it was Mama Luo beside Mrs. Wang.

"The old slave came to comb the young lady's hair." Luo's mother stepped forward with a smile and picked up the three thousand green silk of Huaxi Yan.

"There's Mama Lauro!" Mother Luo is a figure with a head and face next to Mrs. Wang, and whoever meets must be polite, Hua Xiyan naturally understands.

"The second lady has a high forehead, and she is a blessed person at first glance." Mother Luo pulled up the broken hair in front of Hua Xiyan's forehead, revealing her smooth forehead, and couldn't help but praise.

As soon as he heard it, it was auspicious, Hua Xiyan smiled and said: "Chengluo's mother's auspicious words!" ”

Luo's mother gave Huaxi Yan a high bun, and did not shake the hairpin with a golden hairpin, but eight purple hostas fixed the bun, and on the head was a gold flying goose ring Huasheng, and a purple glass hung down and fell between the eyebrows.

"The second lady is really a sign." Mother Luo looked at the person in the mirror, nodded and exclaimed, "I don't need to put on makeup." ”

This is the smoke of Zhonghua Creek. She really doesn't like the heavy fat powder here, and every time she can, she doesn't wipe it.

Hua Xiyan followed Luo's mother to Mrs. Wang's courtyard for breakfast, and as soon as she entered the house, she aroused a lot of admiration.

Similarly, our Hua Xiyan has heard too much in the Wang family, and he just chuckles and doesn't say anything.

"Don't be busy looking at the second sister, didn't you notice that the eldest sister is also a human today?" Wang Jin bit the head of the Furong in his hand and gestured to Wang Lan opposite.

Wang Lan is also dressed in a formal suit, but it is red, her hair, which has always been only tied together, is pulled into a concentric bun today, and the pearl hairpin flowers add to the grace, just like a wealthy lady, but the awkward expression is so weird.

What Wang Lan hates most is this kind of clothes, so every time she wears them, it's almost like killing her.

The ancestral hall of the Wang family is not far from the front of the courtyard, and it took a lot of people to walk there.

A group of monks have all gathered in place, and they are lining up on both sides of the door, and when they see everyone in the royal family, they all sing the Buddha's horn in their mouths.

Wang Yao entered the courtyard first, and then everyone entered in order. Since the protagonist of the recent period is Hua Xiyan, she follows behind her, with her hands in front of her, her eyes not squinting, and she looks dignified.

The footsteps of the crowd were very light, and the smoke curled from a huge incense burner in the courtyard, and the fragrance was calm and calm.

Hua Xiyan knew that the Wang family was wealthy, but when he saw the gold brick paving in the ancestral hall, he couldn't help but be surprised.

On the agarwood case, there are countless spiritual seats, which are enshrined by the ancestors of the Wang family. The crowd knelt silently and bowed respectfully.

"The ancestors of the Wang family are above, and the descendants of Wang Yao are fortunate to have a sister, and the body and mind are happy, and they are specially collected in the Wang family, worship the ancestors, worship the heavens, and accept the grace of the heavens, which is suitable for the king's training. Day, the genealogy is famous, the clansmen are kind, and the ancestors are gifted to become gracious. "Say that, bow down deeply again.

Hua Xiyan stepped forward slowly, knelt half a step behind Wang Yao, and bowed respectfully three times, which was to enter the incense.

Master Tongyi came, brought a kind of monk to sit cross-legged in the hall, began to chant the scriptures, all the men of the Wang family knelt down to listen, and Mrs. Wang withdrew from the room with Hua Xiyan and Wang Lan.

"This sacrifice is easy to say, there is nothing to be nervous about." Mrs. Wang took Hua Xiyan's hand and said with a smile.

Hua Xiyan didn't know why, but she felt that she had entered the ancestral hall, as if countless coercion was pouring down, and the pieces of spiritual position seemed to have turned into the serious faces of the ancestors of the Wang family, staring closely at her, a newcomer.

"Come on, come over here." Mrs. Wang pulled Hua Xiyan and took her into another room.

Different from the hundreds of spiritual positions just now, there are only a few tablets in this room.

Mrs. Wang walked to the table next to her, picked up two pillars of incense, lit them, and looked up at the plaques, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

"Get on your knees!" After a while, Mrs. Wang spit out such a sentence, Hua Xiyan and Wang Lan immediately lifted their skirts and knelt down on the pu mat.

"Yan'er, do you know who is in here?" Mrs. Wang handed the incense in her hand to the two of them and asked slowly.

"I don't know the smoke." Hua Xiyan lowered his head and replied respectfully.

"There are three ancestral halls of the Wang family, one is the ancestor of the Wang family, and the other is the daughter of the Wang family, and this one is the noble woman of the Wang family." Mrs. Wang's voice sounded slowly, lingering in Huaxi Yan's heart like green smoke from the top of the incense, "The Wang family has produced a total of six queens, thirteen first-class ladies, and countless princess wives. ”

Hua Xiyan's mind was shocked, six queens! I suddenly thought of the folk rumor "If you don't become the king, you will take the king as the prime minister", which turned out to be like this.

"The first queen, Queen Lixin, is your uncle's sister." Mrs. Wang looked down at Hua Xiyan, her eyes were full of pain, "It's just that it's too early......

Hua Xiyan could clearly hear the lamentation and sadness in Mrs. Wang's words, like a knife cutting at her heart, digging out her flesh piece by piece, so painful. Hua Xiyan hung her head and was silent, not knowing what words to use to comfort her.

Mrs. Wang didn't speak again, she just stood silently in front of Empress Lixin's spiritual throne and was silent for a long time.

"Please."

I don't know how long it took, but when Hua Xiyan felt that the incense in his hand was about to burn clean, he heard Mrs. Wang's voice coming.

Hua Xiyan stepped forward and inserted the incense in the incense burner, and when he turned around, he saw Mrs. Wang, who was standing in place, bursting into tears.

Hua Xiyan's mood is very complicated. Whether in her past life or in this life, she has seen too many people who are indifferent. Especially after a woman marries into her husband's family, it is difficult to deal with the relationship with her husband's family. She didn't know how deep the relationship between Mrs. Wang and Queen Lixin was to make her so sad.

"Lan'er, you go out first."

"Yes, Mother." Wang Lan saluted again towards the tablet of the head and bowed out.

"When I was still in the palace, I had a good relationship with Queen Lixin." Mrs. Wang spoke, as if she had fallen into the past, and her voice contained a little hoarse and ethereal, "She is a very gentle woman, and she is so good to everyone." Don't bully concubines, don't blame slaves and maids, in the harem, the reputation is excellent. ”

"The Queen Mother often praised her with me, and at that time I felt that it would be difficult to have such a good woman in the world. Later, the emperor's decree betrothed me to the Duke of Dingguo, that is, her brother. At that time, I was full of joy, she was such a good woman, and my brother must be extraordinary. However, I realized that it was exactly what I had imagined. ”

"It wasn't until I entered the Wang family that I gradually understood what kind of family could raise such a woman. I also hold myself to her standards. Even though I wasn't good enough, I was trying to get closer to her. ”

"Such a beautiful woman, from the outside to the inside, is so beautiful......" When she said the last beautiful word, a smile appeared on Mrs. Wang's lips, obviously remembering some beautiful scene and being very happy.

Hua Xiyan seems to understand a little, why Mrs. Wang has such deep feelings for Queen Lixin, it is not only a friendship, but also admiration and appreciation from the heart, her standard, her sustenance, and the beauty that she can hardly achieve in her life.

But that standard fell early, and it was difficult to accept it for anyone.

"That'...... How did the queen ......"

"Smoke!" Mrs. Wang raised her voice abruptly and interrupted Hua Xiyan's words, and the loudness of the voice made Hua Xiyan smart.

Knowing that she was too excited, Mrs. Wang wiped the tears on her face and said softly, "If you want to know, I'll tell you another day." ”

Hua Xiyan knew that he shouldn't have asked these things, after all, this time it reminded Mrs. Wang of her sad past. But just now, she asked very impulsively, and now when she heard Mrs. Wang say this, she couldn't help but nod her head and didn't say much.

Queen Lixin's death is probably Mrs. Wang's death hole, a scar that cannot be touched for a long time, but if there is a slight touch, I am afraid that the blood flow will be insufficient.

The two of them walked out of the room one after another, and the chanting on the other side had ended, and Master Tongyi was teaching the Dharma, and there were many people sitting in the courtyard, including monks and pilgrims, who were listening attentively.

Hua Xiyan was not interested in this nature, so he walked to the corner pavilion with Mrs. Wang and Wang Lan to rest.

The three of them were gossiping when they saw a servant girl walk in, with a graceful posture and a soft face, obviously not an ordinary maidservant.

The person who came saluted respectfully to a few people, looked at Hua Xiyan, and said, "The princess has invited Miss Wang Er!" ”

Hua Xiyan nodded without the slightest surprise, and said to the two: "Aunt, sister, I'll come when I go." ”

"I'll go with you." Wang Lan knew that Princess Roujia didn't want to see Huaxiyan, and now that she heard this, she could still sit still, so she immediately stood up.

"The princess has invited Miss Wang Er." The maid smiled lightly and repeated it again, biting the words "Miss Wang Er".

"My sister is here with my aunt, and I'll be back soon." Hua Xiyan pressed Wang Lan's hand and winked at her.

Princess Roujia would not do anything if she called her away so blatantly.

Wang Lan had to sit down again, looking at Hua Xiyan's departing back, her eyes were anxious.
