Dongyu followed Lin Jiufu and went to the outer courtyard of the Sheng Mansion to receive the order. The messenger was the chief eunuch of the queen's mother, Kunning Palace, who read it feminine and arrogant.

The queen mother Yi ordered to summon Dongyu into the palace, but did not say anything. Yi's purpose is very simple, that is, Xuan Dongyu entered the palace at the beginning of noon today.

After Dong Ying received the order, he went back to the inner courtyard and told Mrs. Sheng.

Mrs. Sheng didn't think about it deeply, and she was happy for Dongyu: "I'm afraid that Niangniang misses her sisters at home." Then he complained about Dongyu, "You too, never go to see the queen mother, how can you be like this?" ”

Dong Ying smiled helplessly. She is the lord of Roujia County, and she can enter the palace.

Her cousin is a queen, and her sister is a favorite concubine, if she is more tactful, she should always walk around with the nobles. Although the Sheng family doesn't need her to add these rich gimmicks.

But Dongyu never took the initiative to ask for permission to enter the palace.

"Mother, I'll go back and change my clothes, and I'll go." Dong Yu said, but his voice was inexplicably weak.

Mrs. Sheng didn't notice her unusualness, and urged her to go quickly, not to make her wait for a long time.

Higashi-dori Road is.

Coming out of Yuanyang Pavilion, the swan feathers were snowing heavily, and a thick layer had accumulated on the road. A few rough maids and mothers-in-law were clearing the snow on the path. It had just been brushed off, and it was covered again in a moment.

Rose held an umbrella for Dongyi, and suddenly saw Dongyao's feet slip and almost fall. Rose quickly held her up, and said with concern, "Grandma, are you okay?" ”

Only then did she notice that Dong Yu's face was colorless.

Dong Ying came back to her senses in a daze, said perfunctorily that it was okay, let Rose and a little maid support her left and right, and slowly returned to the Jingshi Courtyard.

Her palms were clenched tightly, her palms were wet, and there was sweat on her head.

Luo's mother and Tang Hong, Xun Fang and Biqiu were directing the rough maids and women to clear the snow, and when they saw Dongyu coming back, several people hurriedly greeted them.

Dong Yu's face was not good, except for Mother Luo and Orange Hong, the others were a few steps behind.

"What's wrong?" Entering the house, Luo's mother stepped forward to serve Dongyu, worried. "Sister Yu. But what happened? ”

asked Dongyu, but his eyes glanced at Rose.

Rose shook her head slightly, indicating that she was not able to answer for Dongyu.

Dongyu saw their small movements, and smiled lightly: "There is no accident." The queen mother announced that I would enter the palace, and quickly find out the county lord's court clothes......"

Mother Luo's face changed slightly, and she asked again uneasily: "What are you doing when you suddenly enter the palace?" Your face is so ugly. Is it all right? ”

Dong Yu didn't bother to explain again.

She was suddenly terrified.

Last year, she met the Queen Mother once. At that time, the queen was still the imperial concubine, with a dignified and beautiful appearance, and she was not smiling. See the face of Dong Yu. There is a kind of vigilance in the queen's neglect of Dongyi. That incident made Dongyu understand that the queen didn't like her cousin.

There are many sisters in their family, and their affection is actually very weak. The queen mother is much bigger than Dongyu. Dongyu is still in infancy, she has already left the cabinet, and she has no friendship, similar to a stranger.

There was also the matter of Emperor Yuanchang mixed in, and Dong Ying couldn't help beating the drum in his heart.

Entered the palace. Whether she can come out safely or not, it's up to her to decide.

Why did she suddenly enter the palace?

Although Sheng Xiuyi is the young master of the crown prince, he does not have much real power. The Sheng family has retired from the top of power, and Dongyu really doesn't understand what the queen mother's purpose is to suddenly announce her entering the palace.

Is it really for the sake of sisterhood?

Or Emperor Yuanchang......

Dongyu is locked in the inner house all day, but he often goes to Rose to inquire about news. She knew that Emperor Yuanchang had been using good medicine to save his life since he was injured by an arrow, and his health was getting worse day by day.

When I think of this, my heart is like a mess and I can't be quiet anymore. Hinting over and over again that there is nothing wrong with you, only to find that it doesn't help. Dongyu's lips were as pale as paper.

As soon as she thought of the palace, a chill swelled in her back.

Orange Hong came out of the county lord's court clothes, and a few maids served Dongyu to change clothes. Then Orange Red and Rose served Dongyu to comb her hair and makeup.

Dong Ying's brows were still slightly frowned, and he was preoccupied.

Rose and Orange tried to comfort them, but they didn't know what to say, and they served in silence. Dong Yu thought about it, and his eyes were empty.

After dressing up, he looked at himself in the mirror, and the rouge gouache had already covered the paleness of Dongyu. Under heavy makeup. The woman in the mirror is graceful and charming. Beautiful.

Dong Yu didn't think to resent himself for having such a face, but went to see Brother Cheng first.

Brother Cheng fell asleep. Dong Yu stood in front of his bed for a moment. Looking at her son's whitening little face and slightly pouting mouth, it was very pleasing, her heart seemed to have been hit by something, and it hurt a little.

Mother Luo followed behind, pulled Dongyu's sleeves, pretended to be casual and smiled: "The queen mother summoned you, are you still rubbing here with Brother Cheng?" Let's go and come back and see if it's enough, okay? I can't get enough of it every day, I've never seen you hurt a child like this. ”

I want to tell Dong Yu that nothing will happen.

Dongyu understood Luo's mother's hard work, and finally raised her face to show a sincere smile: "It's still early, it's too late." How can there be a mother who doesn't love her son? I can't see Brother Cheng, but I can't see enough. ”

All the people who served in the house laughed.

Dong Ying turned around, glanced at the people in the room, and said, "Orange and red accompany me, and Rose stays." ”

Rose and Orange were both slightly surprised.

"If the queen mother leaves me to speak, and comes back late, let the prince not have to worry." Dong Yu glanced at the confused Rose and added.

Rose suddenly understood: the eldest grandmother was afraid that the prince would be worried, and she didn't know what was going on, so she asked herself to stay and explain to the prince. The room is full of maids and women, Rose speaks crisply, and often follows Dongyu. Sheng Xiuyi believed her words even more.

The eldest grandmother doesn't want the family to worry.

Instead, Rose was even more worried: Is there really something? It's looking at Brother Cheng again, and it's leaving himself to pass the word to the prince, which is a bit unlucky. She looked at Dong Ying, her eyes were worried, and she happened to collide with Dong Jin's gaze.

Dongyu's eye waves converged, and he had regained some calm. Touching Rose's worried eyes, she suddenly decided to look at her, and smiled slightly.

Rose's heart was a little relieved.

Luo's mother personally helped Dong Ying put on a gray squirrel silk cloak, and helped her wear clogs, so that she could go quickly.

Coming out of the Jingshi Courtyard, a rough mother-in-law carried a soft sedan chair and waited for Dongyu.

At the entrance of the Sheng Mansion, there was already a prepared canopy folding feather tassel carriage. Parking for a moment, there is a thin layer of snow on the top of the carriage. The bright red tassels are wet with snow, adding to the showiness.

Orange helped Dongyu get into the carriage, and he also sat in, handing a copper hand stove to Dongyi. He asked Dong Yu if it was cold.

There is a thick felt velvet on the wall of the carriage, which the cold wind cannot blow into, and a wool carpet is covered, which is not cold.

Dongyu was holding the copper hand stove in her hand, and she didn't feel the cold, she said truthfully: "I'm not cold." ”

Then there was silence in the carriage again, except for the sound of the carriage rolling.

"Big grandma!" Orange Red had been pondering, and suddenly remembered something, and shouted out in a lost voice.

Dong Yu was also thinking about something, and was suddenly startled by her shouting. She was already nervous, and when she shouted defenselessly, a spirit would jump out of her mouth.

"What's wrong?" Dongyu calmed down, stroked her chest and asked her.

"Is today the day when the queen mother descends?" Orange Red was surprised and asked Dongyu. Although she didn't know what Dong Ying was afraid of, she knew that Dong Ying had never guessed the purpose of the queen's mother inviting her into the palace, and she was scared.

Orange Red also served in the Xue family for a few days.

When she first entered the Xue family, she was on an errand in the courtyard of the eldest lady Rong, and Rong's mother personally trained their new maids. At that time, it was also mid to late October, I don't remember the specific day, but it was also a snowy day, and the eldest lady asked Rong's mother to send a birthday gift to Liangdi.

That time, Orange Red was on an errand with another little girl, responsible for taking care of the tea. The little girl's hands and feet broke the lid of a teacup, and Rong's mother punished Orange Hong and the little girl for kneeling in the snow.

Orange Hong clearly remembers that the snow was falling all over the sky, and the cold air came up from her knees, and the little girl was so frightened that she secretly sobbed.

Then the eldest lady came out and said to Rong's mother that today is Liangdi's birthday, even if she accumulates virtue for Liangdi, she forgives these little girls. also urged Rong's mother to send Liangdi's birthday gift to the prince's mansion as soon as possible.

At that time, Xue Liangdi was today's queen mother.

If it is the birthday of the queen's mother, it makes sense to invite the sisters in the family to go. Hearing this, Dong Yu was also slightly stunned.

She didn't know when the queen mother was born.

When she arrived at the Xue family, the queen mother had already become the crown prince. She had barely seen the cousin.

"Really?" Dong Ying asked rhetorically.

Orange Red couldn't make up her mind, so she told what happened back then: "...... It's been so long that I can't remember what day it was. But then, just like today, it was snowing heavily, and I thought it would be almost ......."

Thinking about it, Dong Ying also feels reliable. Emperor Yuanchang is still sick, and the queen mother will naturally not hold a birthday banquet with great fanfare. But on the day of his birthday, it is possible to invite the sisters of the family to reunite.

Her heart seemed to be relieved.

didn't see the queen mother, everything couldn't be concluded, and Dongyu sighed secretly. For the palace, is she a bit of a cup bow snake shadow?

She has never lived there, but with the film and television works of later generations, it is a bit arbitrary to judge that it is a place to eat people?

For women in this era, no matter where they are, they are not free.

As the carriage slowly advanced, Dongyu finally arrived at the Donghua Gate of the Forbidden Palace.

The servants and carriages of the Sheng Mansion were stopped outside the Donghua Gate, and Dongyu handed over the name post, took the carriage of the Forbidden Palace, and went to the Kunning Palace of the Queen Mother.

The carriage circled for a moment, and Dongyu sat quietly and did not dare to move.

When the carriage stopped, a female officer stepped forward and helped Dongyu get out of the carriage.

The snow was still falling, and the Danqi in front of Kunning Palace was snow-white, covering the blue-gray floor tiles. The ground was so slippery that even the heavy clogs were a little unsettling.

Dong Ying carefully held Dong Yuan's hand and slowly walked into Kunning Palace.

At this moment, her flustered heart calmed down inexplicably. Whether it's the queen's birthday or other reasons, she has already entered the palace. (To be continued)
