After Princess Duanyang entered the palace, there was still some time before she left the banquet, so she didn't go to the side hall where she was waiting to be seen. went straight to Ci'an Palace to ask for peace.

"You two will go with me."

As a rule, the woman must be summoned or a sign in advance to be seen. But Princess Duanyang is an exception, and she can take a chariot in the palace. At this time, she sent a message to Qingdai and Tingjia, and the two agreed immediately, so they went with the blame.

Princess Duanyang and her entourage bypassed the Shunzhen Gate and slowly marched along the vermilion palace wall towards Ci'an Palace. The hustle and bustle of Shunzhenmen has long been left behind, and the palace road is silent, even if there are occasional chamberlains and palace maids passing by, there is not a trace of footsteps. Compared with the lanterns outside to welcome Wanshou, there is no joy here at all, even if the vermilion wall with glazed tiles standing next to the road is magnificent, but walking in the middle still makes Chapter 187 The inviter feel a little dull and depressing.

Qing Dai half-hung her head and followed behind Bu Yuan, and Tingjia next to her asked in a low voice, "You went to the Empress Dowager's palace when you went back to thank you, right?" ”

"Well, except for the year you were married when you were a child, and you came to the palace in February when you were thanksgiving.

Last time, I followed Shulan and stopped for a short time in the palace of the emperor and the queen mother before leaving the palace and returning home. ”

Tingjia glanced at the back of Princess Duanyang in front of him, and said to Qing Dai in his ear: "I have been in the palace many times, whether it is the queen mother and the queen's palace. There will be no fewer people who want to see the two palaces today, I see that my mother specially called us to follow, because she wanted to take you to meet the Queen Mother, and let you recognize people by the way. ”

Qing Dai naturally knew that those who could be allowed to go to the Empress Dowager's palace were the top noblewomen in Dahua, and they were much higher in grade than those ladies who were waiting for the banquet in the side hall. This can be regarded as the princess's mother-in-law really approving her as a daughter-in-law.

Tingjia said again: "Today is Wanshou again, there are many people in the palace, and one person can't say a few words." The Queen Mother is easy-going, so you don't have to be too nervous. ”

Qing Dai looked at the palace wall of Ci'an Palace not far away, and said "um" softly.

When I arrived at Ci'an Palace, I heard everyone's laughter before entering the main hall.

Princess Duanyang walked in with a smile, "I'm still early, and when I arrived at the gate of Ci Chapter 187, I found out that I was late." ”

There was an uproar in the hall with the sound of stools moving, and a group of noble ladies and palace concubines got up one after another to greet Princess Duanyang.

The Queen Mother laughed and teased: "It's you with a loud voice, no wonder this person can't sit still." Princess Duanyang shouted injustice, and when she saw the person sitting next to the queen, the smile on her face paused almost imperceptibly, and then said: "I didn't expect Princess Beihu to arrive at this time." Qin Shu stood up, and Shi Shiran saluted: "Qin Shu has seen Princess Duanyang. "You are now the princess of Beihu, one person is above ten thousand, I don't dare to accept this gift." didn't dare to snort on her mouth, but Princess Duanyang's footsteps didn't move, and after accepting her salute, she sat down on the other side of the Queen Mother.

Qin Shu sat down with a smile, "Although Qin Shu is married far away, she still thinks of her homeland in her heart, and in front of the princess, Qin Shu should be the gift of her junior." ”

"The princess is too modest." Princess Duanyang smiled, and said, "To celebrate the emperor's birthday, I will bring my daughter-in-law to the queen mother and queen to say goodbye." Tingjia and Qingdai came over to give gifts to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother. ”

Tingjia and Qingdai stepped forward and saluted the two palaces.

"This is Shulan's daughter-in-law, right? I haven't seen him for a few months, but this person is getting more and more energetic, and he really looks like a peony fairy when he stops here. The Queen Mother's boast, everyone looked at Qingdai.

Qing Dai Jin rì wore a light pink sè wide-sleeved placket round coat, different from the traditional Dahua costume sè, the cuffs rolled crepe edges, the front placket and the back of the shirt embroidered with white peony, the lower body with the sè skirt is also inlaid with crepe edges, the face is like jade, the eyes are like stars, the lips are like cherry, standing on the hall vividly, the whole person is as soft as jade. The summer breeze blowing in at the gate blows through the hem of the clothes, and the light crepe ripples on the edges, and there is really a feeling that the clothes are fluttering and returning in the wind.

The moment Qin Shu saw Qing Dai, her eyes darkened, but in the blink of an eye, she returned to normal.

"Don't say it, it's a bit like that." The queen echoed with a smile.

"The Queen Mother praises falsely." Qing Dai generously thanked her.

Qingdai got up and stepped aside with Tingjia, and Princess Duanyang said to the Queen Mother again: "Don't say it, although my daughter-in-law is young, she is also capable." This birthday gift to the emperor, the emperor is full of praise, it is all Qingdai's ideas.

Qing Dai was slightly stunned, she didn't expect her mother-in-law to praise her at home, but she praised her in front of outsiders at this time, but this matter was attributed to her father-in-law and eldest brother.........

The Queen Mother chuckled, "Shulan has sharp eyes and picked a good daughter-in-law." ”

"Then thank you and the emperor!" Princess Duanyang hid her face and smiled, with a bit of pride in her eyes.

Qing Dai caught Princess Duanyang's eyes for a moment, and then it suddenly dawned, isn't it because of Yu Zidu?

"I wonder what kind of birthday gift the princess gave this time?" A clear female voice sounded, interrupting Qing Dai's thoughts.

Qing Dai raised her eyes and saw that it was Qin Zi sitting next to Qin Mei, the current Jade Concubine Niangniang.

Qin Shu didn't marry Hua Shaoyan in the end, Qingdai thought she would marry Yu Zidu or Li Yu, but she didn't expect her to enter the palace behind her nose, and she was crowned a concubine a year later, which is also extremely honorable.

Without waiting for Qing Dai to answer, the queen spoke first: "Marquis Zhongyi and the prince invited the world's Hongru and Hanlin scholars to jointly compile and publish a "Collection of Sacred Words", which was just presented to the palace yesterday, and the emperor greatly appreciated it. Unexpectedly, this idea came from nine nǎinǎi, which impressed the main palace. ”

"The Collected Records of the Holy Word is a collection of the merits of all famous artists, and the concubine must read it carefully." Concubine Yu didn't mention Qingdai at all, and only spoke around the literati who were collected into a book.

"Thanks to the queen's praise, as the Jade Concubine said, the "Collection of Sacred Words" is compiled by the efforts of hundreds of schools, and my father and eldest brother have worked hard to collect, sort, select, and compile, and print, which is really not my work in a few words. Moreover, the holy words are all from the emperor, and if you talk about the merits, the emperor is the greatest. ”

Qing Dai replied generously, anyway, the jade concubine didn't want to get her own light, so she gave all the credit to the emperor, and saw what else she had to say.

Qing Dai's flattery was a little childish, but when she pushed the emperor to the front, the queen mother and the queen were rebuffed.

The Queen Mother said: "Spreading the holy word and educating all the people is a great matter for the benefit of the people. Those who participated in the compilation of the collection were meritorious. ”

Everyone agreed, and the Queen Mother finally rewarded Qingdai with a pair of jade Ruyi.

When rewarding, Princess Duanyang pretended to shirk for a long time, and secretly didn't know how to reward the Qin family sisters with a few white eyes, but when she looked at Qingdai, her eyes were a little more satisfied. Qing Dai didn't know whether to be glad or not, and her rival helped her establish a tall image in front of her mother-in-law.

Qing Dai took the reward and walked to her seat, passing by Zhao Yuhua and Zhao Yuzhen, Qing Dai heard a light sneer, and returned to her seat without lifting her eyelids.

Everyone talked about other things, and Qingdai thought about her own thoughts. After all these twists and turns,

She was a little puzzled, the princess's mother-in-law didn't seem to like Qin Shu very much, and she was afraid that it was for Hua Shaoyan's sake, so she wanted to tell Hua Shaoyan about the girl who was somewhat similar to Qin Shu. But now, she is only afraid that Qin Zi is not waiting to see Qin Shu, Qin Zi's heart is higher than the sky, and she looks down on the third son of Zhongyi Marquis, and goes to the emperor's dragon bed. How can a person who is so arrogant as the princess's mother-in-law not be angry and annoy the two sisters.

"What do you think? Today, you are shining, and you will go back tomorrow to set up a table and have a banquet. Tingjia gritted his teeth and asked, but his eyes looked at the head, as if he was listening intently to the Queen Mother and the others.

"I wondered, this credit should have belonged to my father and eldest brother, why did my mother push me out?

It's not just for a reward, is it? "Mother doesn't want to see the two sisters of the Qin family, this is one of them. Second, your eldest brother told me about this, and the uncle made a lot of efforts, and in the end he got the credit. Mother feels sorry for the uncle, you have been rewarded, and the uncle's face is bright. Tingjia didn't care that Hua Shaoqi's credit was shared, but he regarded Qingdai and Hua Shaoyan as his own family.

Qing Dai put her hand on Tingjia's hand and said softly: "Sister-in-law is understanding, I can be a concubine with you, a blessing from my previous life." Tingjia laughed in a low voice and said, "Count your girl with a conscience." Remember to draw me two patterns of jewelry and clothes! ”

Qing Dai rolled her eyes, "I just praised you, but this time I took advantage of the fire to rob again." ”

Tingjia smiled silently. Qing Dai remembered the birthday ceremony again, and asked quietly: "I was afraid that there would not be many rì children, so I got the collection first." Later, didn't you tell me that the picture was also made, why didn't you mention it to the Queen Mother today? "My father-in-law only dedicated the printed "Collection of Sacred Words" to the palace yesterday, and the map of Kyushu Huanyu has not been released to the public so far.

"I think it's going to be offered at the night banquet."

Qing Dai nodded, coinciding with the return of longevity from all over the world, the Kyushu Huanyu map can better highlight the power of the kingdom of Dahua, and at that time, it can not only play the role of congratulating the birthday, but also play a deterrent effect.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to show off!

The two muttered for a while, and the chamberlain came to report, "King Zhong has arrived!" Li Yu came in and saluted: "Son, please say hello to his mother, the emperor's aunt and the queen's sister-in-law!" The feast is ready, and the children are here to invite you and your sisters-in-law and ladies to move. The royal brother and several princes arrived later. The Queen Mother said: "In this way, let's drive!" ”

Li Yu stepped aside, and waited for the Queen Mother and the Empress to go first before he stepped up to follow from the side. When I was about to go out, my eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of a soft pink in the corner, still the face that was as beautiful as jade, and the flowing dress on her body made her whole person a little more soft and elegant, like a delicate lotus with crystal morning dew in the liquid pool, beautiful and soft, pure and elegant.

An inexplicable light flashed in his eyes, Li Yu hurriedly lowered his eyes, took away the thoughts in his heart, and secretly warned himself not to do this again......

Li Yu walked a few steps briskly and said to the Queen Mother: "The child will take the first step to prepare, and the queen mother will walk slowly." "Hmm!" The Queen Mother nodded, and Li Yu left in a hurry. !!
