Chapter 37 Budding

The craftsmanship of the Empress Dowager Shengci is really good, since it can be appreciated by the first emperor, it is by no means an ordinary level. She made two dishes, one with steamed tofu and one with minced chicken choy sum. Both dishes were surprisingly light and delicious, and Xiaodong was smiling when he ate them. The Empress Dowager Shengci didn't eat a few bites of food herself, just watching her eat.

"Queen Mother, you can eat it too."

The Empress Dowager Shengci smiled and touched her face: "Add another bowl of soup?" ”

Xiao Dong wiped his mouth: "I can't eat it." ”

She lifted up a small corner of her shirt and let the Empress Dowager Shengci see her bulging belly like a small watermelon.

"Belly is blessed today."

The Empress Dowager Shengci hurriedly pulled down her clothes: "Don't catch a cold." If you are full, go back and tilt your head for a while to recuperate. I'll call you when I go back, and I can't miss your class. ”

"I don't sleep." Xiaodong was sitting next to the Empress Dowager Shengci, it was raining outside, and there was a cold tide in the Changchun Palace. The Empress Dowager Shengci hugged her, her hands were light and rubbed, rubbing her stomach for her, rubbing Xiaodong so comfortably, lying down like a lazy cat, eager to hum twice to show satisfaction.

"What's the afternoon class?"

Xiao Dong said: "I heard that there is a piano lesson. ”

The Empress Dowager Shengci nodded: "Well, then tomorrow is chess, the day after tomorrow is painting, the day after tomorrow is a vacation, and the internal study is a three-day holiday...... The piano lesson is still taught by Ou Lanying, right? ”

"Yes, I heard that Master Ou is very strict."

"Be strict and reconciled. Originally, this school was loose enough, if she was not strict, how could anyone obey her. The voice of the Empress Dowager Shengci did not sound as indifferent as when Xiao Dong saw her for the first two times, she was soft and kind: "Did you bring your own piano?" ”

"No, I don't even know what class I'm taking today."

The Empress Dowager Shengci thought for a while and ordered: "I remember that I still have a few pianos, and it's useless to leave them in vain, you can take someone to find them and give them to the county lord." ”

Xiao Dong muttered, "No...... I don't know how to play, wasting good stuff. ”

said that he didn't sleep, but he was full of food, and he was rubbed and caressed like this, Xiaodong didn't know why he squinted, and he slept so fragrantly. The palace maid came over and wanted to hug her away, but the Empress Dowager Shengci waved her hand and refused to let her. Then he softly ordered someone to bring the bed veil and quilt, and gently put it on her body.

"The county lord is really good, sensible and kind." The palace maid said on the side: "I think the little county lord is quite smart. ”

The Empress Dowager Shengci shook her head and said softly: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you're smart or not. Sometimes life is too smart, and life is not comfortable. I just think...... Fall in love with this child. ”

The man who went to find the qin came back after a short time and took three yaoqins.

Xiao Dong rubbed his eyes and yawned.

The Empress Dowager Shengci said softly: "It's almost time, wash your face and wake up." Come, take a look at these pianos, which one do you like? ”

Xiao Dong was very embarrassed, he fell asleep on the lap of the Empress Dowager Shengci, fortunately he didn't drool, otherwise it would be even more rude.

The palace maid opened the piano box and let Xiaodong choose.

The three qins lay quietly in the box, even if Xiao Dong was a pure layman, he could see that each of them was not ordinary. The one in the middle is crystal white and jade-white, with strings like ice silk, and it is a jade qin.

"I don't want it." Xiao Dong shook his head and waved his hand: "I don't know how to play the piano." Besides, the sixth sister said that there is a piano in the piano room. ”

The Empress Dowager Shengci thought for a moment: "Okay. When you learn it, you'll take care of me. ”

Xiao Dong was a little curious: "The Queen Mother can play the piano?" ”

The Empress Dowager Shengci only said: "I touched it when I was young, but then I didn't touch it for a long time, and it became deserted." ”

Xiao Dong exclaimed. is not only a beauty, but also smart and talented, a female celebrity, and a good dish. Such a holy empress dowager, no wonder the emperor once favored her so much.

The Empress Dowager Shengci personally tied her hair and sent her back to Jiyutang.

Shen Qiang and Shen Fang's eyes were red, the two sisters were sitting together, not knowing what Shen Fang was talking about, Shen Qiang was obediently bowing her head and listening. Xiao Dong came into the house, and the two of them hurriedly stood up.

Shen Qiang's handkerchief was about to be twisted into rotten leaves, Shen Fang was fine, and she cried when she looked at it, but it didn't seem excessive.

Xiao Dong glanced at it: "Huh? What about Sister Yao? ”

Yao Jinfeng didn't go with her, why didn't she see her at this time?

Shen Qiang sighed: "We patronized and talked, but we don't know when she went out." I'll go out and find her. ”

Shen Fang took her hand: "It's still raining, she definitely won't be able to go far." ”

As he was talking, Yao Jinfeng came in from outside. She had thin raindrops on her shoulders and was obviously out.

Shen Qiang asked her, "It's raining outside, where have you been?" ”

"Huh? I'll give you a place for your sisters to talk. Yao Jinfeng brushed the raindrops on her shoulders and sleeves, her face was also stained with rain, and the puffs were tender and raw, looking very fresh and bright: "I'll go outside for a walk - the palace is really big." ”

Shen Fang hurriedly said: "It's all us who patronize and talk, but we forgot about you." However, the palace is no better than other places, the rules are big, and there are many taboos, so you can't walk around. ”

Yao Jinfeng didn't care, and waved his hand: "I know, I didn't go anywhere else." ”

Xiao Dong was already shorter than others, and when he looked down, he saw that Yao Jinfeng's shoes were stained with mud and a little blade of grass.

Did she go outside?

Xiao Dong didn't ask.

If only nothing had happened.

Though...... Although in the novels she had read before, beautiful women wandered around the palace, usually to do something, either to meet the emperor or the prince, no matter how bad it was, she had to meet a handsome guard with a graceful and heroic demeanor, and then ...... Such and such......

Yao Jinfeng is undoubtedly the beauty of the beauties, and it can be seen from the reaction of the Luo family brothers that the young man's resistance to her is really not high-

Xiao Dong suddenly thought of a possibility!

The Yao family sent such a beautiful and lively Yao Jinfeng to the capital, did they really come to read to her as a companion? Wouldn't it be the idea of letting her marry into the palace?

His father, King An, must have known that she couldn't settle down, but he didn't mean to send this trouble back to his hometown......

The more Xiao Dong thought about it, the more he felt that what he thought was reasonable, but after thinking about it again, it was not right.

Yao Jinfeng's appearance is beautiful enough, but her character is really not suitable for entering the palace. To survive in the palace, beauty alone is not enough.

If you can't figure it out, Xiao Dong is not embarrassed, and she has to find the root cause. It's just decided to follow up a little more closely in the future, so that Yao Jinfeng won't have the opportunity to wander around and cause trouble again.

Thinking so, she saw Shen Qiang busy washing her face and hair. And Yao Jinfeng sat in front of the window, half leaning out of the window. There was a faint smile on her lips, her eyes were shining, and her cheeks were a touching peachy pink.

She is like the most delicate flower on the branch, and it is a good time for it to bud.
