Chapter 47: Meeting

"Of course." Showa smiled, his face full of pride: "My master is a well-known Zhou Wei. But you're not bad, it's more than enough to deal with some petty thieves. ”

Little thief? Su Wenmei was stunned for a moment, but saw that the lord of Showa had ordered his entourage to leave gifts, so she went to the Xiangyun Hall near the imperial garden. Xiangyun Hall is spacious and bright, and it is a common palace for banquets and hospitality in the palace.

Lord Showa was in a hurry. She didn't want the imperial brother to see her little thoughts.

Su Wenmei tidied up her clothes and headdresses, and more and more people came to celebrate her birthday.

When Qian Hui entered Mingyang Palace, he saw Su Wenmei dressed in a red and gold-inlaid auspicious dress, with a gold hairpin inlaid with pearls, and the whole person looked white and tall, luxurious and simple. Dressed like this, it is completely different from her usual simple and beautiful, but it is also extremely beautiful.

Qian Hui saw her, saluted, and couldn't help but praise from the bottom of her heart: "Sister, today, very beautiful." Qian Hui was dressed in a light blue dress, and she simply pinned three golden hairpins on her head, which was also very beautiful.

Qian Hui gave Su Wenmei a jade Guanyin statue embroidered by herself, which was very heartfelt. Su Wenmei and Qian Hui talked for a while, and then saw that the royal relatives and concubines of various palaces gave gifts one after another. After sitting for a while, he went to the Xiangyun Palace.

Cheng Qian also went to Xiangyun Palace, Su Wenmei waited for a long time, and finally saw Mrs. Su coming tremblingly with a cane, followed by Aunt Su and Su Jinnian: "Mei'er." ”

Su Wenmei greeted her, and the old lady and aunt wanted to salute her. Su Wenmei took her grandmother's hand and stopped it, but she couldn't resist her grandmother.

"Concubine Niangniang, the ancestral system is like this. The old body is going to bow to the mother. "Grandma, aunt, brother, kneeling three times and knocking nine times, but it made Su Wenmei feel unusually long.

After the salute, Su Wenmei took the old lady's hand, and the old lady said: "Mei'er, grandma is old, and her feet are slow, I finally came to the palace today to see you, I ......"

Su Wenmei shook her head and looked at her grandmother carefully, the grandmother who loved her very much in the past. Even if I had amnesia and forgot my grandmother before, I had a sense of déjà vu when I met her for the first time, and I always felt very close to her. It seems that blood and feeling, is really a wonderful thing.

It's just that I haven't seen her for nearly half a year, and my grandmother seems to be even older. Life is impermanent, and there are some things that you don't talk about at this time......

Thinking of this, Su Wenmei took her grandmother's hand and helped her into the inner hall of Mingyang Palace. She explained to her aunt and brother: "Auntie and brother sit for a while, Wen Mei will talk to grandma for a while, and she will be back in a moment." ”

Su Jinnian smiled softly at her and nodded.

"Grandma." Su Wenmei entered the inner hall, and despite the old lady's obstruction, she knelt down in front of the old lady: "I hope that the child is stupid and reckless, and there will be no disaster and no difficulty to the minister." ”

After hearing this, Old Madam Su's face changed greatly: "What did you say?!"

Su Wenmei spoke again: "I hope that the child is stupid and reckless, and there will be no disaster and no trouble to the minister." ”

Old Madam Su heard it very clearly this time, her hands trembled, and she was about to touch Su Wenmei's face.

"Grandma, if the child remembers correctly, this is the child's eighth birthday, and the father himself wrote a poem for the child, right?" Su Wenmei knelt down, looked at Mrs. Su, and turned her thoughts for the past few days into words and tears.

Old Madam Su looked at Su Wenmei: "Could it be ...... Don't...... In the vast sea of people, you are still alive! ”

"Yes." Su Wenmei burst into tears: "Grandma, I escaped from the palace that day, and I remembered it when I came back." I am your own granddaughter, I am still alive, when my mother hid me in a straw pile in a farmhouse, led away the pursuers, and jumped into the river. ”

"You...... Yuyan, do you have a purple birthmark on your back? ”

Birthmark? She also remembered that when she was a child, her family said that she had a birthmark on her back, but she couldn't see it herself.

She unbuckled her belt, slowly pulled off her clothes, and presented her gelatinous back in front of the old lady.

"Yuyan!" Old Madam Su was emotional: "You are my good grandson!" ”

Back then, Su Hong was beheaded for interfering in the emperor's family affairs. It didn't take long for Xu Shuyi and Su Yuyan to disappear overnight. Later, Mrs. Su and her subordinates found Xu Shuyi's body and one of Su Yuyan's shoes by the river, but no one thought that Su Yuyan was still alive.

Back then, he examined the knife wounds on Xu Shuyi's body and judged that she was victimized. It's just that Su Hong offended the royal family and pushed the Su family to the forefront, so the Su family could only cover up the matter on the grounds of violent death.

Su Hong's younger brother Su Da secretly investigated, and only found out that the matter was related to the royal family.

Although Su Hong had a deep relationship with Xu Shuyi and his wife in the past, he had been on the battlefield for a long time and had been married for many years before he got such a daughter as Su Yuyan. The whole family naturally held her pearl in the palm of their hands.

The grandfather and grandson wept bitterly. The two reminisced, and Mrs. Su told her a lot of things when she was a child, and as she spoke, the old lady burst into tears and looked at her good granddaughter with a look of relief. After a while, when it was time to eat, the two of them tidied up and came out of the inner hall of Mingyang Palace. At this time, the relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren seemed to be closer.

When Su Wenmei entered the palace, she was the genealogy of the Su family, and it was Su Yuyan's identity. Su Yuyan's father is the eldest son of the Su Mansion, so she is naturally the daughter of the Su family in name.

The ancestors and grandsons held hands and arrived at the Xiangyun Palace, but they saw that everyone was almost there. When Cheng Qian saw her coming, he got up, came to her, and stretched out his hand with a smile: "Give me your hand." ”

Grandma patted the back of her hand and said to her with relief, "Go ahead." ”

Everyone saw Cheng Qian holding Su Wenmei, walking off the red carpet step by step, and sat down on the main seat. Next to them sat the Queen Mother, and next to the Queen Mother was the virtuous concubine.

The virtuous concubine had a smile on her face, and her heart was already overturned: because of the relationship between her father and the queen mother, she was named a noble concubine when she entered the palace, but she only waited in Fangyi Palace for one night on the day she entered the palace. Even if there was a period of time when the emperor often came to her Fangyi Palace and snubbed Concubine Wen, where did the emperor treat her as well as Su Wenmei?

He looked at Concubine Wen's eyes, which was clearly different from looking at others.

The emperor greeted all the emperors before ordering the chopsticks.

During the banquet, the palace concubines and princes all toasted to the emperor and the newly sealed concubines, and Zhuang Xianren was also a concubine, so he felt left out. And the Queen Mother doesn't seem to like her as much as before.

The Seventh Prince, Cheng Ye, and the Ninth Prince, Cheng Li, stood up, Cheng Ye: "Brother Huang." Congratulations to the royal brother for winning the beauty. Cheng Ye wished the emperor's brother eternal stability and longevity; Wish...... Concubine Wen will always be young...... Happy birthday. ”

Because of what happened outside the palace before, Cheng Ye was always a little embarrassed when he said this. Su Wenmei's eyes narrowed, the tails of her eyes looked slender, and she raised her wine glass: "Speaking of which, I have to thank the Seventh Prince!" ”

She had something to say, and her eyes seemed to be holding a gun and a stick, and she raised the two-inch small wine glass over it, and drank it with her face hidden. turned the wine glass upside down again and looked at Cheng Ye: "The palace is dry, the prince is free." ”

Cheng Qian played a round on the side, and several people sat down after toasting, and the Ninth Prince glanced at Concubine Wen meaningfully: "Brother Wang, this Concubine Wen seems to have an opinion on you?" ”

Cheng Ye turned his face sideways, and Cheng Li couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

After three rounds of drinking, guessing the lantern riddles a few times, and watching a few performances of the palace ladies, everyone began to play horse hanging.

Su Wenmei didn't know how to hang a horse, so she took advantage of the commotion of everyone and went all the way back to Mingyang Palace to change clothes. There are too many gold threads and pearls on the auspicious clothes, and some are heavy.

She took Bing'er back to Mingyang Palace, and saw a few maids still holding a few gifts, but they were not included in the treasury. In one of the trays, a pair of delicate agate-colored glass coral beads are placed, and the crystal clear red beads are worn into a string, and the tassels worn by small beads give people a stunning feeling at a glance.

Su Wenmei and the accompanying Ruxia and Bing'er were also instantly attracted by it. She happily walked over and picked up the bracelet and looked at it carefully. The color style is very beautiful, even if Su Wenmei is in the palace, all kinds of treasures are used to it, and she is attracted by it at a glance.

It's just that although this gift is exquisite, Su Wenmei likes it. The giver just sent a servant and didn't leave a name.

"Mother." When Ruxia saw such a baby, she couldn't help but sigh: "The slave maid once saw such a treasure at the concubine of the first emperor, and it was called glazed coral beads." ”

"Legend has it that Concubine Rou's glazed coral beads bracelet was made by 700 sea divers to the East China Sea to find the glazed coral, and then carved by the top master into this glazed coral beads, so it is extremely precious. It's just that the glass coral bracelet is extremely difficult to make, and I don't know which one is so generous to give such a precious thing to Niangniang. Ruxia smiled and looked sideways at Su Wenmei.

"It's really exquisite." Su Wenmei sighed and asked the palace maid on the side: "Why is there no name here?" Do you know who sent it? ”

"Niangniang, the gift was given by a small servant, and he didn't report his name, so he left, and the slave didn't say anything when he called him. Therefore, the slave did not know who gave this gift. ”

Su Wenmei thought about it sideways, but couldn't figure out who it was. This gift is too precious, and it must be a rare treasure even for princes and nobles.

"Mother." Bing'er recalled: "When I just came back with Niangniang, the slave seemed to see the little maid next to the Seventh Prince passing by us, could it be ......?"

Su Wenmei recalled, as if this was indeed the case. The little guy next to the seventh prince, she had seen him once in the city that day, and she also met him on the palace road back to Mingyang Palace today, and he kept his head deliberately down. Bing'er didn't say it, she couldn't remember it yet.

She felt suddenly out of interest, and slowly put the very delicate bracelet back into the tray: "Put it all in the warehouse and put it away." ”

"Yes." They took the gifts and walked in the direction of the Mingyang Palace treasury. Su Wenmei entered the inner hall to change her clothes, and came out in a pale yellow dress with gold edges. This pale yellow dress doesn't feel too plain and doesn't make too much of a show, it's great.

Su Wenmei felt bored, stayed in Mingyang Palace for a while, and then went back to Xiangyun Palace. At this time, Xiangyun Hall had invited musicians in the palace to play the piano and sing and dance, so Su Wenmei sat with her grandmother and Qian Hui, drank tea and chatted, and watched the singing and dancing.
