In October in the capital, the autumn is over, and the few dead leaves on the branches are shivering in the cold wind.

In the Cining Palace, there was light smoke in the antique copper incense burner, and a parrot on the shelf yawned, and its small eyes looked around boredly.

Ouyang Mama's eyes swept over the ladies one by one, from the posture of holding the pen to the expressions of each person, the six ladies were either smiling, or with square eyebrows, although they had been copied for an hour, but everyone was serene and did not have the slightest fatigue.

Mama Ouyang walked by their side one by one, and the famous ladies are the famous ladies, whether it is the European body or the hairpin flower, they are all upright and beautiful, and the work is neat.

She looked at the Western clock on the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, alas, four hours, who would have thought that these delicate ladies on weekdays had copied Buddhist scriptures for four hours without eating or drinking.

"Miss Huo, have you finished copying?" Mama Ouyang's gaze fell on the girl sitting at the end of the second row.

The girl got up and walked up to her with the copied scripture in her hand: "Sijin has already copied it, please take a look at it." ”

Mama Ouyang bowed her head and said to the palace maid standing aside, "You accompany Miss Huo to the Evergreen Pavilion." ”

Huo Si thanked him and followed the palace maid to the Evergreen Pavilion.

The Evergreen Pavilion is not far away, and it is also in the Cining Palace, which is the place where the Queen Mother spends her flowers, the four seasons are verdant, and the flowers are undefeated, so it is named the word Evergreen.

Huo Sijin held the copied "Diamond Sutra" and walked on the pebble path to the Evergreen Pavilion without hurrying or slow.

A "Diamond Sutra" is about five or six thousand words, she can memorize the song like a stream, and she doesn't have to copy it while reading it, if she can copy it in three hours in the past, but today she still rubbed it for four hours, and it was estimated that other ladies were about to finish copying before she put down the wolf in her hand.

Mama Yan taught her that people who have been in the palace for half their lives will not like young women who are too prominent.

She also deeply understands this, when she made the Buddha fruit in Yongji Temple, she was in the limelight for a while, and she thought that it would attract the queen mother's dislike.

Now that she has grown up, she is no longer a reckless little girl who returned to the capital at the beginning of the year, she acts in a measured manner, and today's opportunity is not easy to come by, she will not let herself make a mistake.

The Queen Mother is not the only one in the Evergreen Pavilion, the eldest princess Fangyi is also there, and there is also a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy and two seven or eight-year-old girls.

Huo Roufeng had only seen the Queen Mother and the eldest princess Fangyi, but the three young men and women had seen it for the first time.

She hesitated a little, it stands to reason that in this case, the palace maid who brought her was to tell her in advance, at least to tell her who the people in the Evergreen Pavilion were, but this palace maid not only said it, but also only sent her to the door of the Evergreen Pavilion and handed her over to the inner attendant to lead her in.

The young man and the two little girls were dressed in ordinary service, although they were gorgeous, but they couldn't see their identity, they were the ordinary clothes of the children of large families.

But who else can sit here with the Queen Mother and the eldest princess, just thinking about it like this, Huo Sijin knew in his heart.

She saluted the Queen Mother, and then bowed to the young Yingying: "The courtiers have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a thousand years old." ”

The boy nodded, calmed down, and continued to play with a small stone in his hand.

Huo Sijin breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't guess wrong, since the young man was the prince, those two little girls thought to be the two princesses born by the queen.

She saluted the eldest princess Fangyi and the two little princesses according to the ceremony, and the eldest princess Fangyi smiled: "Today's copying of the scriptures, you are the first to finish copying, the young lady in the Zhuangyuan Mansion, sure enough, even writing is much faster than others." ”

A palace maid came over, took the scriptures in Huo Sijin's hand, and presented them to the Queen Mother, who flipped it over and said with a smile: "A good hairpin flower Xiaokai, beautiful and dignified, the words are like their people." ”

Huo Si was busy and thanked him, and the queen mother said to the palace maid who was waiting on the side: "Take it to the prince to see." ”

Hearing this, Huo Si's heart moved, could it be......

"The imperial grandmother said yes, it must be really good, the grandson doesn't need to read it, and besides, this is a Buddhist scripture, and the grandson doesn't understand it, so as not to blaspheme the Buddha and Bodhisattva."

The air in the room froze, and Huo Sijin's fingers hidden in his sleeves trembled.

Up and down the government and the opposition, who doesn't know that the first emperor and the queen mother are both people who are Buddhas, and the emperor is not to mention, he can't be a monk.

But the prince said that he didn't understand the Buddhist scriptures.

It's also too ......

"You kid, you're getting naughty and naughty." The Queen Mother said with a smile, not only was she not annoyed, but her tone was a little doting.

The eldest princess Fangyi took over the conversation and said with a smile: "If the prince doesn't look at it, then let me see it." ”

The sudden cold atmosphere was only then relaxed, and the eldest princess Fangyi flipped through the Buddhist scriptures and said, "Well, the copy is neat, and the words are well written." Mother, what don't you appreciate? ”

The Queen Mother said: "Look, there are also people who ask for rewards for others, it can be seen that the eldest princess really appreciates it." ”

After speaking, the queen mother said to the palace maid: "Bring the box of womb flowers, let her pick two, who let her finish copying first, let her pick first." ”

A box of uterine flowers was placed in front of Huo Sijin, Huo Sijin didn't even dare to say it, and only took out the two closest to her.

He thanked everyone in the room one by one, and followed the attendant out of the Evergreen Pavilion.

As soon as I walked out, I saw two more ladies waiting outside with the copied scriptures, and when I saw her come out, an attendant walked in with a lady.

The lady who stayed outside, Huo Sijin knew, she was Li Zhilan, the niece of Li Qiao, the former squire of the military department.

Although Li Qiao has been in office due to illness for many years, the Li family has produced more than a dozen jinshi, and now there are six or seven people who are officials in the court, and Li Zhilan's cousin and brother are all officials in the court, with a smooth career and a great future.

Li Zhilan has just passed this year, is good at painting flowers and birds, and is well-known in the Beijing boudoir circle.

Seeing Huo Sijin coming out of it, Li Zhilan took her hand affectionately and asked softly: "Sister Huo copied it quickly and well, she must have won the praise of the Queen Mother." ”

As she spoke, she glanced at the two palace flowers that Huo Sijin was holding in her hand.

Because it was taken out of the box and was a reward from the Queen Mother, Huo Sijin could only take it out all the way.

I didn't feel anything in the Changchun Pavilion, but now it looks a little shabby.

Sure enough, she saw a hint of ridicule in Li Zhilan's eyes, if it was before, she would have been red-faced, but now she is smiling slightly.

Today, what else does she have to feel ashamed of, if she doesn't fight for it, she will marry the Yuan family to fill the house.

How could a person like Li Zhilan know her difficulties.

Huo Sijin didn't want to entangle with Li Zhilan anymore, so he said that he wanted to go to see Huo Rong, so he walked away.

Huo Rong from Xifu entered the palace with her, and when she came out after copying the scriptures, Huo Rong was still writing hard.

Li Zhilan can laugh enough if she wants to, anyway, she is not the one in it.

As for the prince, others may want to, but she doesn't want to.
