After Mama Chun left, the Xue family hurriedly prepared for entering the palace. After she came to Beijing, she only went to see the Queen Mother once, and then saw that the Queen Mother did not deliberately go to the Queen Mother before she was summoned.

The Queen Mother has to summon countless internal and external wives every year, even if she has taken care of the Xue family because of the actions of the imperial court before, the durability of this care is limited.

There are regulations on the dress of foreign women entering the palace, and the Xue family was given a decree when they married Wang Dong, and now Wang Dong has risen all the way, and Xue's husband and wife Rong are already three good ladies.

So Zhai Guan, round-necked full-sleeved coat, Xia veil, and gold belt are very hard all the way. Sanniang and Wuniang are little girls who have not yet come out of the cabinet, so it is much easier.

Sanniang wore a dark red gold jacquard satin cross-collar long jacket, lined with a white cross-collared mid-shirt, and a cinnabar pleated skirt. She deliberately chose this solemn color to wear, and the headdress and jewelry are also regular, not frivolous at all, only atmospheric and steady.

Wu Niang wore a pink four-petal printed cardigan and a pink pleated skirt, looking pretty and lively. The two sisters stood together, and it seemed that the differences in their personalities were immediately apparent.

Although the Queen Mother was summoned in the afternoon, no one dared to let the Queen Mother and others. So Xue and Sanniang finished dressing up, and when they saw that it was just after noon, they took a carriage to the palace. Xue also had the foresight to prepare some small snacks in the carriage that were easy to eat.

"We'll probably have to wait a long time in the palace outside, so let's have some pastries, or we'll be hungry later. I heard that one year, a woman from another province went to the palace to greet the Queen Mother, because there were many people summoned by the Queen Mother that day, and the woman waited in the palace outside for two hours. Who knew that as soon as he entered Ci'an Palace and kowtowed to the Queen Mother, his stomach rang like a drum. The Queen Mother was merciful and did not pursue her for the crime of dereliction, but this woman was used as a laughing stock by the ladies present at the time, and finally spread it. The woman was ashamed. Since then, he has not appeared at banquets in Beppu. ”

Xue was obviously nervous too, otherwise she wouldn't have said so many words in order to divert her attention.

Sanniang listened carefully and saw that Xue had finished speaking. He moved to her side, and leaned against her. Sanniang could feel Xue's tense body finally relax.

Halfway, Xue Shi exhaled: "Fortunately, you will accompany me into the palace this time." Otherwise. I'm really a little ......" seemed to realize that it was a little inappropriate for him to say this in front of his juniors, and Xue didn't say any more.

Sanniang understands that the servility that the Xue family has cultivated in the high-ranking families over the years, as well as the instinctive fear of those in power, are not so easy to fade.

The carriage entered the palace, Xue handed over the sign, and the mother and daughter were led to a side hall and waited for the queen mother's summons.

From getting off the carriage, there is naturally some distance to the side hall. It's just that no one dares to think that the road is long. Although Sanniang was walking with her head down on the road, she looked up at the palace without a trace. After reading it, she didn't have much other feelings, Sanniang only felt that there was not much difference from the Forbidden City she had seen in her previous life. Therefore, it is more calm.

It's just that when the three of them passed through a corridor, there happened to be a few palace people who were like crowns of jade because of one face. The suave son came from the other side.

The Xue family took Sanniang and Wuniang to avoid the side.

At this time, Sanniang vaguely heard the palace maid on the side quietly turn her head and say, "It's Shen Gongzi who is coming." ”

Sanniang was shocked, and couldn't help but quietly raise her eyes.

At this time, Shen Wei happened to be coming, he walked lightly, smiled lightly and tilted his head slightly to listen to an old eunuch next to him, looking very gentle and harmless, and even that smile made him look gentle, and had a good family education.

But Sanniang couldn't help but feel cold in her heart when she saw the light smile on his face, because Sanniang found that the smile on Shen Wei's face seemed to be a perfect mask, although there was no flaw in his expression, but his eyes were cold.

The coldness in Shen Wei's eyes is different from Xuan Shao's coldness, Shen Wei's coldness is the kind of cold aura that seems to come out of the bottomless cold cave, what makes you afraid is not that coldness, but worrying about whether the dark bottomless hole will suddenly drill out some creepy beasts.

Almost instinctively, Sanniang felt that this person was dangerous. Maybe after hearing about Miss Sun's family, Sanniang subconsciously had prejudice against Shen Wei.

Shen Wei seemed to sense that someone was looking at him, and he also looked over, and when he saw a lady dressed in a three-grade foreign wife with two unmarried women, Shen Wei smiled and nodded here, but his eyes stayed on Sanniang's body for a moment before he looked away.

Sanniang had already turned her eyes away casually before him, as if it was not Shen Wei who she had just raised her eyes to look at, but the white camellia that stretched out into the porch next to him and beside him.

Until the two parties were already seven or eight steps apart, Shen Wei still listened to the eunuch with a light smile.

"Didn't I see that lady in the palace very often, could it be that she came to Beijing from other provinces?" Shen Wei saw that the eunuch had stopped the topic, and seemed to ask casually.

Hearing this, the old eunuch squinted his eyes slightly and glanced back, and said with a smile: "Oh, that's the wife of Wang Shilang of the Criminal Department, presumably today I brought the young lady of Wang Shilang's family into the palace to see the Queen Mother." ”

"Wang Shilang?" Shen Wei's eyes flashed, and the smile on his face remained unchanged: "Ke's ...... Wang Dong? ”

"Hehe, it's the family of Lord Wang Dongwang." The old eunuch shook off a handful of dust and said with a smile.

The bottomless black gas in Shen Wei's eyes seemed to have tumbled a few times, and finally calmed down.

Sanniang followed the Xue family in the side hall and didn't wait too long, and there were grandmothers and palace maids from Ci'an Palace to summon them.

Xue sorted out the clothes on his body, and tidied up for Sanniang and Wuniang, and then took Sanniang and Wuniang to follow the strange grandmother.

This side hall is used to receive the wives who are waiting for the queen mother to summon them on weekdays, so it is not too far from Ci'an Palace. I only walked for half a cup of tea, and since I came to Ci'an Palace.

Sanniang and Xue stood honestly outside the hall and waited, the palace people who brought them seemed to go in to pay respects, and after a while, there were eunuchs waiting outside the hall singing and saying that the Empress Dowager Niangniang Xuan Sanpin Lady Xue and the Wang family Sanniang and Wuniang met.

There were a few more twists and turns in the corridor, and Sanniang finally entered the inner hall of the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace.

Learning the posture of Mama Zhuang, Sanniang's head was just rightly lowered, and she followed behind the Xue family to salute the Queen Mother who had not yet seen anyone according to the rules of the Gongzhong.

About four or five meters away, there came the voice of a very loving old woman: "Get up, come near, let me see." ”

As soon as these words fell, several palace people stepped forward to lead the Xue family and Sanniang and Wuniang forward.

"The girl of the Xue family, I haven't seen you enter the palace to see the mourning family for a long time, but you don't like to talk to the old woman of the mourning family?" The Queen Mother's voice was very close, and she seemed to be casually teasing Xue's two sentences, and her words were still smiling.

But Xue Shi was frightened by the Queen Mother's words and broke out in a cold sweat, but she didn't know what to say, so she just said, "The concubine doesn't dare." ”

The Queen Mother smiled, turned her head to Mama Chun and said, "I originally thought that this Xue family girl was Mu Ne, but I heard that a while ago, she also did an elegant thing on the street, which is somewhat similar to Xue Hanlin back then." ”

Mama Chun smiled: "Mrs. Wang must be upright by nature rather than wooden, so I don't know how to invite pets in front of you." ”

The Queen Mother nodded, still smiling: "That's true, but it's good to be able to see the direction clearly in front of the big right and wrong, and it's not worth mourning her family." ”

"These two little girls are Wang Dong's daughters?" After praising Xue with a smile, the Queen Mother turned her attention to Sanniang and Wuniang behind Xue.

Xue Shi hurriedly got out of the way and let Sanniang and Wuniang step forward.

Sanniang stepped forward respectfully and saluted the Queen Mother again.

"Come forward and let the mourning family take a good look, the mourning family's eyes are not as good as they were back then, if you don't stand closer, the mourning family can't see clearly." The Queen Mother beckoned to Sanniang and Wuniang.

Sanniang obediently stepped forward when she heard this, stopped at a distance in front of the queen mother's couch, and still stood respectfully, and Wuniang also followed Sanniang obediently, but after all, she was a little nervous, and her head was a few points lower than Sanniang.

The Queen Mother glanced at Sanniang a few times, and saw that she was very obedient between her eyebrows, and there was no rudeness in her gestures at a young age, and she was very person-like, so she couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

"Go and see if the queen is busy, if the affairs in her palace have been dealt with, let her come to Ci'an Palace." The Queen Mother turned her head and instructed a palace maid behind her, and when the palace maid left the palace, the Queen Mother said to Sanniang again: "You are the third mother of the Wang family, right?" ”

Sanniang was thinking about the Queen Mother's intention of calling the queen over, but when she heard the Queen Mother's question, she replied calmly and unhurriedly: "Back to the Queen Mother, the courtier is the third mother of the Wang family." ”

The Queen Mother laughed and said, "Mama Chun, you can bring Sanniang closer for the mourning family to see." ”

Hearing this, Mama Chun smiled and stepped forward and gently pulled Sanniang to take another step forward, at this time Sanniang's skirt had already been hit by the queen mother's phoenix couch.

The Queen Mother looked at Sanniang carefully, and she was very satisfied: "Give me a seat, move an embroidered pier, and let Sanniang sit closer." ”

The queen mother said that the seat was for the Xue family, so after the Xue family thanked the grace, they were led to the chair on the side, and the three niang and wu niang were placed on the embroidered pier in front of the palace maids.

Sanniang and Wuniang also thanked the Queen Mother for her grace before sitting down, and Sanniang finally saw the Queen Mother's face because of the angle. (To be continued)
