Xiao Dong and Zhao Lu bowed down on the cushion in the center.

She wore layer upon layer of clothing, like a round hydrangea. Although she remembers all the movements that Hu taught her, she is confident that she can do it well-

But she forgot that there is a word in the world, called accident.

She knelt smoothly, but when she bowed downward, her body suddenly lost her balance and rolled to the side like a ball.

Sporadic laughter came from where the women were seated.

Zhao Lu quickly turned his head and looked at her with concern, and reached over to help her.

Xiao Dong's face was slightly red, she held Zhao Lu's hand to stabilize her body, and knelt down again.

Someone from above cleared his throat, and the sporadic laughter disappeared, and the temple was lonely again.

Xiao Dong bowed down again, this time she was very serious, thinking that she was kneeling steadily. But a heavy layer of clothing, soft cushions, fleshy hands and feet, all kinds of objective factors are superimposed - this time when her head has not touched the mat, the world is spinning in front of her, and she is crooked to the side again, this time even knocking over Zhao Lu who was kneeling beside her. The round little winter is simply swaying left and right like an indomitable tumbler, but he can't finish this ceremony.

The person sitting on the top this time couldn't help but laugh: "Hurry up, don't worship." It's hard for such a young child. ”

Someone picked up Xiaodong and helped her stand firmly.

With such thick clothes, it was difficult to walk. Xiao Dong turned his head to look at the palace maid who picked her up, wearing a blue satin short jacket and a pink skirt, looking not bloated, but slim and slender waist.

"Come, come and let the mourning family see."

Why does the Queen Mother call herself a mourner? Do you mourn because your husband died?

Xiao Dong's mind was full of thoughts, and the person moved forward with small steps. The thick dress and skirt made her walk unchanged, and she almost twisted to the queen mother's seat.

A well-maintained, white hand rested on her shoulder.

Xiao Dong finally saw the Queen Mother's appearance clearly.

The Queen Mother is not the rich or shrewd old lady she thinks. In fact, she has nothing to do with the old word. With good facial features, beautiful face, and a gentle and amiable smile, he is indeed a person with an excellent temperament as Zhao Lu and Hu Shi said.

"Your name is Xiao Dong, isn't it?"

Xiao Dong nodded.

"Good boy......" She looked at Xiao Dong's appearance, touched her head, turned her face to another person and said, "Sister Yao, look, this child was born like her mother?" I still remember Qing Yuan's eyes, which were also generated like this. ”

Another voice sounded: "Sister is right. ”

This voice is as cold as a mountain spring, and it is indescribably beautiful. Xiao Dong couldn't help but turn his head to look, Zhao Lu hurriedly took her hand and whispered, "That's the Empress Dowager Shengci." ”

Xiao Dong only glanced at it-

The Empress Dowager Shengci is definitely a beauty.

Perhaps the word beauty is the least rare in the palace, and it may be the area with the largest number of beauties, the best quality, and the highest density in the world. But even if the Empress Dowager Shengci is in a group of beauties with their own characteristics and extraordinary styles, she can still steal everyone's attention for the first time. Her skin is as white as jade, and her eyes are as clear and clear as a stream of autumn water. The eyebrows and eyes seem to be carefully drawn by Danqing's skillful hands, and there is no imperfection.

If there is really any flaw, it is her charm and temperament. Her gaze clearly revealed a cold as ice, rejecting people from thousands of miles away.

It is like a rare flower born in a high place, precious, lonely, self-opening and self-willing.

Xiao Dong was sure of one thing the moment he saw her.

This Empress Dowager Shengci must be King An's biological mother.

Without such a peerless mother, how can there be such a handsome and extraordinary son?

Hmm, that means that the Empress Dowager is her grandmother?

Xiao Dong was stunned.

Grandmother...... cough, the Empress Dowager Shengci in front of her looks so young and beautiful, she doesn't even look like a son, who would have known that she was already a grandmother, and she had a grandson as big as Zhao Lu.

Xiao Dong is young, and it is the first time to enter the palace, and no one stands up at this time to find fault with her poor etiquette. Zhao Lu still saluted the Empress Dowager Shengci in a regular manner.

The Empress Dowager Shengci only nodded and asked indifferently, "What about your father?" ”

Zhao Lu replied respectfully: "My father went to the court and ordered me and my sister to come and greet the two queen mothers." ”

Empress Dowager Shengde hugged Xiaodong and whispered, "Alas, this poor child ......"

Her eyes turned red, and she picked up a handkerchief to wipe away her tears. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became gloomy, and the joy just now seemed to condense, pressing heavily on people's shoulders.

Someone next to him persuaded: "Sister Xiaodong, isn't there two queen mothers and many elders watching and protecting?" Don't be sad Queen Mother, don't talk about the people in front of you, even those who have already gone, they will be uneasy. ”

The man who spoke was dressed in a gorse silk satin skirt and wore a crown of gold beaded hibiscus on his head.

This kind of dress is also unique in this house, and her noble status is self-evident. Sure enough, the people around the Empress Dowager Shengde also followed suit: "What the queen mother said is very true, the queen mother should not be sad." ”

Empress Dowager Shengde nodded: "What you said is true, but I think of Qingyuan's girl, who is much stronger than you, but her life is thin, and her body has always been bad...... Now it's so young to leave the child behind......"

Xiao Dong stood stunned and didn't make a sound, Zhao Lu's eyes were also red, holding one of Xiao Dong's hands, silently.

"Don't be sad Queen Mother, look at you, you scared the two children again."

The Empress Dowager Shengde took Xiao Dong over: "Well, look at this child, I only saw it for the first time when he has grown so big." She took a piece of dim sum and handed it to Xiao Dong, who took it - why do these people always like to hand her a snack? Is it possible to hand over something else? After all the way on the carriage, she was smoked by the smell of the whole house, and she couldn't eat it at all.

Someone behind him suddenly said, "This is Sister Xiaodong?" ”

Xiao Dong turned her head, and a little girl looked at her with a smile. She was born beautiful and lovely, eight or nine years old, with a double beard and light pink clothes, and it is foreseeable that she will be a big beauty again in a few years.

Xiao Dong is almost immunized.

Next to her, Zhao Lu told her: "This is the sixth princess." ”

The sixth princess raised her hand to interrupt him: "Don't make those false courtesies, just call me Sixth Sister." Hehe, I've been waiting for a few days, and finally someone will call me sister, and I don't have to be an old man anymore. ”

Empress Dowager Shengde smiled and beckoned her to come over, holding Xiao Dong in one hand and holding her in the other: "Why did you come here first?" What about your sisters? ”

"They don't lack younger sisters, so naturally they don't need to rush here. I'll have to take a look first, and I'll have a sister in the future, which is a great event. ”

A woman next to her said: "The sixth princess has been looking forward to her sister for so many years, but she is looking forward to it - but the county lord does not live in the palace, and the sixth princess's wish to be a sister will not be fulfilled." ”

The sixth princess pursed her mouth slightly, and shook the hand of the Empress Dowager Shengde coquettishly: "Queen Mother, then let Sister Xiaodong stay and be a companion for me." ”
