This time, the protagonists are not Xiao Dong, they have become Shen Fang and Shen Qiang, two sisters. The big one is gentle and quiet, and the small one is lively and clever, which is very eye-catching. Xiao Dong made time to look at the people in the room, she didn't have time to take a closer look at them one by one last time.

The queen is still fully draped, and the golden light is shining.

But this time, very close to the Empress Dowager Shengde, there was also a palace beauty.

She was dressed in a pink satin palace dress, her makeup was elegant and beautiful, sitting on the brocade pier not far from the Empress Dowager Shengde, and behind her stood a palace maid wearing a light green shirt, this body was green, lined with her pink, like a pink camellia blooming in spring. Although it is winter, there is a warm and soft spring that makes people feel comfortable when they look at it.

If she were an emperor, she would definitely like to be with such a beauty.

Xiao Dong's gaze didn't have time to retract, and the person who was being looked at also noticed her and smiled at her.

The palace man next to him said to Xiao Dong: "This is Ming Guifei Niangniang." ”

Oh, it turns out that this is Mrs. Ming's sister.

It is said that the concubine is extremely favored in the palace, and sometimes her words are heavier than the queen.

Is it because of this reason that the lady Ming in her own family, although King An does not want to see her, only offers her from afar?

Xiao Dong took two steps forward and curtsied towards Concubine Ming. Without waiting for her to squat down, Concubine Ming hurriedly helped her up, and said with a smile: "The county lord doesn't have to be polite. The last time you came to the palace, I didn't see it. Later, I heard Zhi'er say that I saw you. ”

Concubine Ming's voice is like a wind chime in front of the corridor, the voice is crisp and soft, and it makes people feel a little numb and crispy when they listen to it.

When it comes to appearance, Mrs. Ming is three points more beautiful than Concubine Ming, but Concubine Ming's speech and demeanor make people feel as comfortable as a spring breeze.

Sometimes, temperament is much more important than appearance.

Because there is no shortage of beauties in the palace, no matter how good-looking the face is, it will be tired of looking at it without waiting for aging.

But the temperament is different, and the temperament will not get old.

Concubine Ming can be favored, it really makes sense.

Concubine Ming's hands were soft and smooth, holding Xiaodong to sit beside her, and softly asked her if she couldn't live in the capital, what she liked to eat, and what pastimes she usually did at home. Xiao Dong may answer two words, more of which is to lower his head and not speak.

"In a while, you will be able to go to school and study with your five sisters." Concubine Ming said softly: "Your fifth sister has always said that she wants a little sister, if you don't understand anything, you can ask her." ”

Xiao Dong held the tassels on his purse, neither nodding nor shaking his head.

The Empress Dowager Shengci suddenly beckoned to this side, Xiao Dong was stunned, and the palace people on the side hurriedly said: "County Lord, the Empress Dowager asked you to come over." ”

Xiao Dong was a little surprised, she saw the Empress Dowager Shengci twice, but she didn't say anything both times.

The palace people led her to the Empress Dowager Shengci, who touched her head and asked softly, "Are you hungry?" ”

Xiao Dong touched his stomach and nodded.

The Empress Dowager Shengci slowly stood up with the hands of the palace people, and said to the Empress Dowager Shengde: "Sister, it's not too early, I'll go back first." ”

Empress Dowager Shotoku smiled and said, "You go." ”

The Empress Dowager Shengci took Xiao Dong's hand and said, "You go with me." ”

Xiao Dong saluted with the Empress Dowager Shengde and followed the Empress Dowager Shengci out. The sun had risen, Xiao Dong raised her hand in front of her face to block it, the sunlight flowed from between her fingers, her hand was small, and it was crystal clear by the sun, like milk jelly.

When passing by the side hall, the Empress Dowager Shengci suddenly pointed to a row of low houses behind her and said, "When I was still doing Zhaoyi, I lived there. ”

Xiao Dong turned his head to take a look, the Empress Dowager Shengci said this, and continued to walk forward, Xiao Dong hurriedly followed.

The Empress Dowager Shengci didn't speak, and when breakfast was put on the table, she whispered, "Eat." After a moment's hesitation, he said, "I don't know what you like to eat." ”

The breakfast of the Empress Dowager Shengci is too much different from that of the Empress Dowager Shengde, and it is inferior in terms of items and utensils. Of course, it's never too much to eat – it's just a little sad.

Xiaodong was really hungry, and in the morning Hu asked her to cushion two mouthfuls of snacks, but she refused. She looked at the table, pointed to the yellow pumpkin millet porridge and said, "I want that." ”

The Empress Dowager Shengci hurriedly beckoned the palace people to serve porridge for her.

The Empress Dowager Shengci does not have the supposedly expensive and rare goat milk soup here.

Through the heat, the face of the Empress Dowager Shengci was clear, and she couldn't tell that she was already a grandmother.

Of course, she must be a beauty, otherwise, how could she become Zhaoyi, Mr. was the emperor, and gave birth to King An, and now she can still be the queen mother.

Xiao Dong was just curious.

The Empress Dowager Shengci seemed very indifferent when she saw her the first two times, but this time she took the initiative to invite her - why?

Xiao Dong now has a vague concept - the people in the palace will never do things without a purpose.

I don't want to do so much, so I'll fill my stomach first.

The pumpkin millet porridge is boiled soft and thick like honey, and the fragrant taste is excellent. Xiao Dong drank two bowls in a row, and ate two crystal buns and a jujube paste cake, before he burped with satisfaction and put down the spoon.

The Empress Dowager asked, "Is it enough?" Would you like to add more? ”

"That's enough." If you eat her little belly again, she will burst, and if she pats it, she will now be like a drum.

Strange, maybe it was because eating together had shortened the distance between them, Xiao Dong now looked at the Empress Dowager Shengci, feeling as if she was an elder who had known each other for a long time and was not a stranger.

Maybe it's because ...... Although the Empress Dowager Shengci didn't say much, she looked at Xiao Dong with the same gaze as Xiao Dong's nurse Hu Shi.

The kind of gaze that sees her eat happier than herself, Xiao Dongtian can feel and experience it in Hu's place, and it is so familiar that she will not have an illusion with her eyes closed.

After all...... This very beautiful Empress Dowager Shengci, who looks no more than middle-aged, is her own grandmother.

"Come on."

The Empress Dowager Sheng Ci opened a box and handed it to Xiao Dong: "These are for you." ”

Xiao Dong reached out to take it, the box was much heavier than expected, and she almost didn't hold it.

It was full and stuffed with all kinds of jewelry.

"These?"

"Once upon a time...... I don't need the emperor's reward. ”

The contents of this box, I'm afraid that Xiao Dong won't do anything in the future, and lying down to eat and lie down is enough for her to squander for a lifetime.

It seems that the emperor of the first ...... Well, that is, her grandfather, is really partial to the Empress Dowager Shengci. The contents of this box are not ordinary.

The Empress Dowager Shengci, who has always been shabby and embarrassed, is such a priceless treasure as soon as she makes a move, this contrast is too great. If the Empress Dowager Shotoku had such a private room, it would not be strange at all.

The Empress Dowager Shengci looks like a little daughter-in-law next to the evil mother-in-law, but ......

But why give it to her? The emperor also has several princesses. And they grew up in the palace, and they are much closer to the Empress Dowager Shengci than her.

Why did the Empress Dowager give her these?

"Take it well, and ...... in the future Make a dowry for you. The Empress Dowager Shengci touched her head: "I'll let someone send you back to the palace, don't tell others about this, you know?" ”

Xiao Dong nodded dumbly.
