The carriage swayed all the way, Ye Chuqing was drowsy in the car, and almost fell down when she was napping several times, which frightened the Xu family.

After a long time, I vaguely arrived at the gate of the palace. Because they were in the carriage of the palace, the palace gate guard did not let them get off, and the carriage drove straight into the palace.

After entering the palace gate, I walked on the palace road for almost half an hour before the carriage stopped.

Gao Gonggong stood outside the carriage and asked a few people to get off. Ye Chuqing first picked up her skirt and jumped down. Later, I saw Xu Shi and Ye Chuxia grabbing Gonggong Gao's arm, stepping on the back of the eunuch who was driving the carriage and getting off the carriage elegantly.

After getting off the carriage and walking on the palace road for a while, Xu Shi first said to Gonggong Gao: "When we arrive in the palace, we should go to see the mother of the country first, and we have all the courtesies." The father-in-law went back to report to Lord Ning first, and after we met the mother of the country, we went to see Lord Ning. ”

Father-in-law Gao replied with a smile: "Okay, madam, please, the miscellaneous family will go to see Lord Ning to return." ”

Xu Shi bowed slightly, and said politely: "Father-in-law, please!" "After that, Grandpa Gao recruited a eunuch to guide Xu and the others, and he left!

The Xu family was originally a first-grade lady, and Gonggong Gao, as the great eunuch beside Lord Ning, was only a sixth-grade lady. Xu categorically did not have a rule to salute him. It's already polite to him.

Several people followed the little eunuch all the way to the dormitory of the mother of the country. After walking through countless palace roads and turning countless corners, I walked to the dormitory of the mother of the country - Qifeng Palace. At this time, Ye Chuqing was already dizzy.

The little eunuch who led the way stepped forward and said a few words to a palace maid at the gate of Qifeng Palace, and the palace maid went in!

After waiting for a while, the palace maid and an old grandmother came out, walked straight to Xu's face, and saluted with a smile: "Niangniang, please let the lady and the girls in!" ”

Xu nodded slightly and said, "It's hard work!" He gave a reward to the little eunuch who led the way, and then the mother and daughter followed the mother into the inner hall.

As soon as he entered the main hall of Qifeng Palace, he heard a burst of talking in front of him.

Ye Chuqing suppressed the curiosity in her heart, respectfully respected the rules that Xu told her, folded her hands in front of her waist and abdomen, lowered her head slightly, moved the lotus step gently, and followed behind Xu Shi step by step.

When he arrived at the palace, Xu Shi first bowed and said, "The courtiers see the mother of the country!" At the same time, Ye Chuxia and Ye Chuqing both knelt on the ground, and said in unison: "The courtiers meet the mother of the country!" May the mother be auspicious and healthy! ”

Praying for the country's etiquette, Xu's once sealed Mrs. Yipin, there is a decree in the body, and there is no need to kneel and bow when saluting. And Ye Chuxia and Ye Chuqing have no titles, and they must kneel and bow when they see the royal family.

"Excuse me! Get up! A gentle and unlost voice rang out.

Ye Chuqing was reluctant to kneel, but when she heard this, she hurriedly used her hands and feet together, and stood up at once.

At this time, Ye Chuqing quietly raised his head and saw several people sitting on the top.

Sitting in the middle is a middle-aged woman, with a round face and thin eyebrows, a smile at the corners of her lips, a pair of red phoenix eyes that are not angry and mighty, a nine-tailed golden phoenix hairpin on her head, and a red embroidered golden phoenix Xiangyun palace dress, which makes her even more majestic and solemn.

Ye Chuqing thought about what Mother Sun said, and knew that this was the mother of the country today, her real name was Zhong Xiyun, who was now five years old Chinese New Year's Eve, and was the sister of Zhong He, the left minister, who married the current lord at the age of sixteen, and still has a son and two daughters.

Among them, one son is the eldest son of the lord of the country, Sikong Yunlin, who is now eighteen years old, is the righteous prince of the country, humble and benevolent, and married Su Yi, the eldest daughter of Dingyuan Houfu, as the crown princess a year ago.

There are two daughters under the mother of the country, the eldest daughter Sikong Bixuan, who is 16 years old, is named the eldest princess of Tsinghua and lives in Tsinghua Palace. The second daughter is the fifth daughter of the lord of the country, named Sikong Jasper, who is nine years old and is named Emperor Yunhua.

At that time, Ye Chuqing was still a little puzzled, because she used to watch costume TV series in which the emperor's daughter was called a princess, why is it called the emperor here?

Mother Sun told her that in the country of Qi, only Her Royal Highness the eldest princess could call her princess. And the other daughters of the lord of the kingdom are all called Emperor Ji. Like today's lord, in addition to the eldest princess of Qinghua, there are nine daughters, including Emperor Fanghua, Emperor Ronghua, Emperor Zhaohua, Emperor Yunhua, Emperor Fenghua, Emperor Linghua, Emperor Shaohua, and Emperor Chunhua, and only the eldest princess of Tsinghua can be called a princess.

Ye Chuqing looked at the two girls beside the mother of the country. The girl on the left is wearing a long aqua blue dress, with a silver and white ribbon tied at the waist, a goose egg face, crescent moon eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, red lips slightly hooked, a princess bun with green silk, a golden jade beaded hairpin headdress in her hair, and the rest of her hair is scattered behind her, which makes her skin like clotted fat, elegant and noble.

Ye Chuqing realized that this should be the eldest daughter of the mother of the country, the eldest princess of Qinghua. It is said that she looks quite similar to the mother of the country, and she is also very beautiful. The elegant and noble temperament on the body seems to be innate.

On the right side of the mother of the country sat a little girl, who seemed to be the same age as Ye Chuqing. This should be the fifth daughter of the lord of the country, the second daughter of the mother of the country, Emperor Yunhua, Sikong Jasper.

Yunhua Emperor Ji is wearing a pink brocade shirt today, a skirt of the same color, wearing auspicious cloud pattern embroidered brocade pearl shoes, wearing pink beaded flowers on her head, a circular bun on the top of her head, embellished with pearls in the middle, and the rest of the green silk scattered behind her head.

She has a round face and eyebrows, a straight and beautiful nose, clear and moist big eyes, small pink lips with a slight smile, pink cheeks are white and pink, the whole person looks smart and pretty, and her pleasant laughter like a clear spring makes the listener feel comfortable.

I have to say that this royal gene is good, the children of the royal family are all handsome and unparalleled, the men are handsome and handsome, and the women are beautiful and beautiful.

Ye Chuqing looked at the first few people, and kept sighing in her heart, but she ignored a scene that often appears in the palace fighting scenes of TV dramas - she and Emperor Yunhua collided.

At this time, I heard the gentle voice of the mother of the country: "Madame, please take a seat." Xu saluted and thanked him, and sat down on an embroidered stool at the bottom of the head. Ye Chuxia and Ye Chuqing stood behind Xu.

Emperor Yunhua looked at Ye Chuqing, then at herself, stood up and walked in front of Ye Chuqing, looked Ye Chuqing up and down, and asked, "Who are you?" Why haven't I seen you? ”

When the mother of the country heard her question, she hurriedly shouted: "Yunhua! Then he asked Xu with a smile: "Mrs. Ye, is this little girl Madame's youngest daughter?" ”

Xu got up and replied: "Back to Niangniang's words, this is Ye Chuqing, the youngest daughter of the courtier, because Master Yikong ordered that there was a catastrophe before the age of sixteen, she could only be resolved by hiding her from being known by the world." Last time there were assassins in our house, the courtier's youngest daughter was injured by the assassins, and then she got better! Master Yikong once again calculated, saying that her fate had passed and she could be released. Therefore, the courtiers took her into the palace this time to meet the mother of the country and the masters of the palace. ”

The mother of the country nodded, her eyes showing love and pity: "Poor child! Stretched out his hand and beckoned Ye Chuqing to step forward.

Ye Chuqing lowered her head and stepped forward, the mother of the country took her hand and sighed, and said: "But fortunately, everything has passed, and the so-called bitterness is sweet." You'll be able to live your life in the future! In the future, go into the palace more often, you and Emperor Yunhua of this palace are of the same age, and they will play together a lot, but it is just right. As he spoke, he ordered the female officer to bring a brocade box, took out a beaded flower and inserted it in Ye Chuqing's hair.

Ye Chuqing hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Courtier, thank you for the reward!" Then the female official next to the mother of the country helped Ye Chuqing up.

Ye Chuqing lowered her head, but she was bitter in her heart. What she hates the most is kneeling around. Who knew that you have to kneel here at every turn, and you have to be thankful at every turn...... Well, in order to see the national teacher and Master Yikong safely, I can only endure it!

After that, the eldest princess of Tsinghua also gave Ye Chuqing a meeting gift, which was a superb jade pendant, and Ye Chuqing thanked her again.

Then Emperor Yunhua took Ye Chuqing's hand and said with a smile: "Your name is Ye Chuqing?" How old are you? ”

Ye Chuqing replied with a smile: "Back to Emperor Ji, the courtier Ye Chuqing is ten years old this year. ”

"Ten years old? A year older than me! Yunhua Emperor Ji pursed her pink lips, looking extremely cute.

Ye Chuqing looked at her, and suddenly laughed out loud. I was purely amused by the cute appearance of Yunhua Diji.

The eldest princess of Qinghua watched the interaction between the two of them, and also smiled lightly, and asked Ye Chuxia: "Early summer, you just entered the palace, right?" ”

Ye Chuxia smiled and nodded: "Hmm!" ”

The mother of the country smiled slightly and said: "I'm afraid that Lord Ning is in a hurry, you go to Ande Palace to accompany Lord Ning first, and after lunch, you will come to Qifeng Palace with Lord Ning, and let's go to Guangming Hall for a banquet together." ”

The eldest princess of Qinghua nodded and said, "It's okay, then you go first!" Early summer, let's talk later! ”

Ye Chuxia responded with a smile: "Okay! ”

Emperor Yunhua was a little reluctant: "I wanted to hear you talk about interesting things outside the palace, but I just ...... Alas, then go first! ”

Ye Chuqing said with a smile: "Emperor Ji wants to hear interesting things outside the palace, I will naturally tell you." ”

Emperor Yunhua's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Okay, it's decided, you can't cheat!" ”

Ye Chuqing couldn't help but smile and said, "Never regret it!" "To be honest, she really likes this innocent and innocent little girl.

Then the mother and daughter left Qifeng Palace and went to Ande Palace.
