Chapter 161: The Empress
"My girl is a good girl" Susukino Shin and Honor, looking at Huaxi and nodded, "Hehe, I knew it was my own species at first sight." ”
When he meets people, he praises his own flowers, and his daughter is the best Susukino Shin's mentality as a father Huaxi can understand, but at first glance it still sounds a little embarrassed, Huaxi blushed, lowered his head, and secretly glanced at Susukino Shin.
Susukino Shinbu didn't care, and still looked at Huaxi with a smile.
Bo Ye Tong looked at Bo Ye Xin and shook his head and chuckled, then looked at Huaxi, "Come, this is a meeting gift from Uncle Huang to you, come and walk around the palace more in the future." ”
Li Deshun hurriedly stepped forward to take the jade pendant handed by Sukino Tong, was a little surprised, hurriedly gathered his mind, and respectfully presented the jade pendant to Huaxi.
Susukino Shin saw clearly what Li Deshun was in his hand, and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, this is left to you by the Empress Dowager, you have never left your body, and now this is ......"
Huaxi didn't know why, he looked down at the jade pendant in his hand, engraved with the pattern of Feng Xiangyun, the whole body was moist, and it really looked like an old object that had been played for many years. At first, looking at the attitude of Gonggong Li and Sukino Shin, Huaxi guessed that this jade pendant must have some origin, and then listening to what Bono Shin said, she knew that this gift was indeed too heavy.
"Your Majesty, what my father said is very true, this thing is precious, and it is a thought left by the ancestors of the Empress Dowager to Your Majesty, Huaxi does not dare to accept it." Huaxi knelt on the ground and presented the jade pendant with both hands.
"Huaxi, get up first." Sukino turned to Sukino and said, "Brother, I look at the child's face and like it." Besides, you were born and died for me, and now you are just this seedling...... Speaking of which, I am also ashamed that your jade pendant has followed me for many years, and I gave it to Huaxi because I wanted the Empress Dowager to have spiritual energy to protect her in the sky, so you should not shirk it anymore."
Susukino Shin didn't object to anything, "Your Majesty gave it to you, and you still don't thank you?" ”
Huaxi kowtowed to thank him, and Sukino left Bono to speak, and sent Gonggong Li to send Huaxi to the queen's palace to meet him.
Walking out of the gate of the Qinzheng Palace, the sunlight sprinkled on the stone steps, bright and bright, a little dazzling.
Huaxi rubbed the jade pendant, and the white jade phoenix on the pendant fluttered its wings in the sun.
Li Deshun stood beside Huaxi and sighed: "The old slave has been with His Majesty since the previous dynasty experienced rebellion, and His Majesty has never left this jade pendant given by the Empress Dowager back then. His Majesty often said that he relied on this jade pendant to bless him when he turned into a murderer...... Today, His Majesty gave it to the county lord, and I hope the county lord will cherish it. ”
Huaxi put the jade pendant in the fish bag and said, "Thank you Manager Li for the reminder." Huaxi Province, will be a good collection. ”
"With the blessing of this jade pendant, the girl will definitely be blessed." Li Deshun smiled and nodded, and his attitude towards Huaxi became more and more modest.
Li Deshun sent Huaxi and Bailan all the way to the queen's Kunyi Palace.
The little eunuch who was notified at the gate of the palace saw Li Deshun see him off in person, nodded and saluted Li Deshun.
"Go and report to the mother that the county lord Jingxian has arrived"
The little eunuch stole a glance at Huaxi, and ran in to report it. After a while, the little eunuch came back and reported: "Niangniang is dressing up, please wait a while." Mr. Li went first, and the servants took the county lord to the side hall to rest. ”
Huaxi knew that the queen did not meet immediately, because she intended to leave trouble, but she didn't care much. It's just a little longer, if you really avoid it, the queen herself will not be able to explain in front of Susukino Tong.
"The old slave accompanies the county lord to talk, and waits for the mother." Li Deshun didn't plan to leave immediately, and ordered the little eunuch to lead the way.
Huaxi glanced at Li Deshun and said with a smile: "It's okay, the chief manager is busy, so you don't have to work hard for Huaxi." ”
"The county lord is polite. The old slave received His Majesty's will to bring the county lord to Niangniang, so he should naturally accompany the county lord and wait. ”
The little eunuch's face was a little uncomfortable, and he wanted to speak, but after being glanced at by Li Deshun, he cowered and didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly led the way in front and invited Huaxi and others into the side hall.
"The county lord and Manager Li sat down for a while, and the servant called someone to serve tea to the two." The little eunuch hurried out.
Li Deshun said apologetically: "The little slave doesn't understand the rules, don't blame the county lord." ”
Huaxi said: "It's okay. Huaxi would also like to thank the chief manager for accompanying him. ”
After the two sat for a while, the little eunuch came back and said, "The queen mother is invited." ”
Li Deshun smiled, got up and asked Huaxi to go first. Huaxi took Bai Lan and followed the little eunuch into the main hall of Kunyi Palace.
In front of the gilt peony screen in the main hall, there is a woman in palace costumes, in her thirties, with a small round face, red eyes, and oblique red on the side of Dai's eyebrows. The brown-red hair is combed with a startling bun, and there is a red gold inlaid treasure bead string with a five-winged oblique phoenix hairpin inserted between the side temples, and the upper body is wearing a bright yellow upper body, and a waist-length skirt embroidered with lotus lotus root of the same color is dragged to the ground, and the tip of the golden silk cloud shoes is exposed under the skirt, and the eastern pearl the size of the thumb cover is embellished, which is graceful and luxurious.
"Say hello to the queen," Li Deshun bowed and bowed.
"Father-in-law Li is exempt."
Li Deshun half-bowed his waist, "Your Majesty wants the old slave to bring the county lord Jingxian over to give the lady a salute." ”
Huaxi stepped forward to bow to the queen, and Bai Lan also knelt down.
The queen paused for a moment before raising her hand and said, "No courtesy, come and give a seat." ”
"Queen Xie" Huaxi sat down at the bottom.
The queen said to Li Deshun: "Gonggong Li, the person has been sent to me, you can rest assured." I beg you to go back and tell Your Majesty that the banquet will be held in the Millennium Pool of the Imperial Garden later, and your Majesty will be invited to the banquet at that time. ”
Li Deshun smiled and promised to leave.
Huaxi sat on the brocade stool, smiling silently at the queen's scrutinizing gaze.
"Yurui and Xingchun are still used to it?"
"Thanks to Niangniang's concern, Huaxi is not very grateful." Huaxi thanked the queen, but didn't mention how Yurui and the two were doing, and Yan Jin, who wanted to come to the queen's palace first, had already told her. There are some things that everyone knows, but it is impossible to say them clearly, lest someone take advantage of the topic to play.
The queen's hand gently fiddled with the palace silk hanging down from the skirt, "King Xin is the emperor's dearest brother, and the mourning family treats you as your own daughter. ”
The queen raised her eyes to look at Huaxi, and the corners of her mouth smiled, "Now it seems that the mourning family is too worried, and if there is anything missing in the house in the future, just come and ask the mourning family." His Majesty's heirs are not abundant, except for the three adult emperors born by the mourning family, the rest are all immature. I'll be able to see your brothers at the palace banquet later, and there are also some noble girls. You are not very old, and you have lived in Dahua for a long time, and now that you have returned to Tiandu, you should make more friends with people of the same age. ”
Huaxi nodded obediently, "Thank you Niangniang for making you so bothered, Huaxi is really a little unhappy." Although Xia Ma Wei lost its effect because of Gonggong Li's intervention, except for the temptation at the beginning, the queen did not have a trace of abnormality later, and she was able to behave so kindly, and Huaxi had to admire the "bearing" of this external performance.
However, how can the women in this palace be simple, let alone the queen mother who has three emperors and is the head of the harem.
The queen smiled and said: "Why should the family be so polite and mourn that the family has no daughter, you will be the daughter of the mourning family in the future." After a few days, the house is bored, and you can come to the palace to stay with the mourning family for a few days. ”
Coming to live in the palace? He didn't want to kill her, but he didn't dare to refute it immediately. Huaxi didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so she had to laugh silently.
"What? Isn't it because the mourning family is old and unwilling to live with the mourning family? ”
Huaxi shook her head, "The queen's phoenix and fairy appearance, like a double decade, how can she be involved with the 'old'?" ”
The queen chuckled, "Looking at you Jing, you're quite good at talking...... If you wish, then in a few days you will come and live in the palace. The hour is not early, and I go to the royal garden with the mourning family. ”
This statement made Huaxi unable to refute, so he had to think about acting again at that time.
The queen walked down and stretched out an arm, Huaxi understood, and hurriedly helped up, and the two went to the imperial garden together.
