Chapter X

"How many sons, are you having fun today?" In the face of the almost undisguised surprise of the people in the shed, the visitor didn't care at all, bowed slightly with a smile, shook the whisk in his hand, and bowed.

"Ah, don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Grandpa Gao, please take a seat." Xie Bi is a person who has always experienced officialdom, and he was the first to react and hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"You don't need to sit down," although he is an old henchman who has been waiting for the emperor for more than 30 years, and has already been promoted to the chief eunuch of the six palaces, Gao Zhan's behavior has always been unassuming, and in the face of these children who are a few rounds younger, he is still not rude, with a lovely smile, "Come with our family, the empress dowager wants to see you." ”

"The Empress Dowager?" Xie Bi was taken aback, "Her old man is here too?" “

"Not really. The Empress Dowager saw you children having fun on the Yingfeng Tower, and asked you to go up. ”

"All of us?"

"Yes, this gentleman, and this little brother, all go up."

Xie Bi turned around, and everyone looked at each other for a while. The empress dowager is the emperor's grandmother, now more than ninety years old, never ask about political affairs, so relieved to live a long life, the empress dowager has passed away for many years, and she is still living a very nourishing life. Since what she likes most most is to see a group of juniors around her, it is not unusual for her to send someone to summon her, but she didn't expect that she would be dizzy and could see who was sitting below.

However, he was stunned, and the Empress Dowager summoned her, and the emperor did not dare not go. The group had to tidy up their clothes, and with Gao Zhan out of the brocade shed, they entered the Yingfeng Tower from the side ladder.

The Empress Dowager is not in the main building, but sits in a warm pavilion sheltered from the wind. As soon as I entered the attic door, I saw an old lady with snow-white hair leaning on a soft couch, her face wrinkled and her face kind. In addition to the group of palace maids Cai'e and the inner prison attendants, there were also four people sitting next to them.

Mei Changsu's eyes rolled slightly, and he had already confirmed the identities of these four people.

The first phoenix crown yellow robe, the graceful should be the queen of Zhenggong Yan, the corners of the eyes and lips have wrinkles, only vaguely retaining a bit of the beauty of youth. On the right hand side of the queen is a woman in palace clothes with a high bun and beautiful face, who is also over forty years old, but she is better maintained, and her skin is still quite shiny. The middle-aged beauty sitting on the left hand side of the queen has a more dignified demeanor, and her beautiful eyebrows are a little familiar, so she is naturally the eldest princess of Liyang. The last one is a young woman, her dress is simple, her makeup is plain, although her face is not beautiful, but she is heroic, her spirit is essence, the room is full of noble women, no one can suppress her momentum, I want to come except for the Nihuang County Lord, who has such a demeanor?

"Are you coming?" The Empress Dowager sat up tremblingly, her eyebrows glazed and she smiled, "Quick, call over and tell me which children they are?" ”

Yan Yujin couldn't help but purse his lips and smile, and was glared at by Queen Yan.

Because of her advanced age, the Empress Dowager has been a little confused in recent years, although she likes to get close to young people, but she can't remember who is who, and sometimes she has only seen it the first day, and she has to be reintroduced the next day.

Gao Zhan led everyone forward, and Mei Changsu whispered to Feiliu: "Wait a while, will you let the old grandmother pull your hand?" Smile and show grandma how about it? ”

Feiliu grimaced with a reluctant expression.

At this time, the Empress Dowager had already taken the hand of Xiao Jingrui, who was closest to her, and Gao Zhan hurriedly introduced from the side: "This is Xiao Jingrui, the eldest son of the Marquis of Ningguo. ”

"Xiao Rui, are you married?" The old man asked kindly.

"Not ...... yet"

"Oh, hold on!"

"Yes......"

After touching Xiao Jingrui's head, she turned around and grabbed Xie Bi's hand again.

"This is Xie Bi, the second son of Ning Guohou."

"Xiaobi, are you married?"

"No ......"

"Hurry up!"

"Yes......"

Then the Empress Dowager beckoned to Feiliu again, Mei Changsu hurriedly pushed him over, the young man had a cold face, and reluctantly let the old empress dowager hold his hand.

"This little brother's name is Feiliu ......," Gao Zhan quickly asked Xie Bi and introduced.

"Xiaofei, are you married?"

"Nope!"

"Hurry up!"

"No ......" didn't wait for Feiliu's words "don't" to come out, Mei Changsu had already hurried over to cover his mouth. The Empress Dowager's attention naturally immediately shifted to him, took his hand, and looked at it with a smile.

"This is Mr. Su Zhesu." Gao Zhan said.

"Xiaoshu," the Empress Dowager asked the same question with some inarticulate words, "are you married?" ”

"Nope."

"Hurry up!"

“……”

In the end, it was Yan Yujin who was pulled over, and after Gao Zhan's introduction, the Empress Dowager still asked: "Ozu, are you married?" ”

Yan Yujin blinked his eyes and said mischievously: "I have already married." ”

The Empress Dowager paused slightly, as if she was reacting, but then she asked a new question: "Have you given birth?" ”

Yan Yujin was stunned for a moment and muttered, "It's not ...... yet"

"Hurry up!"

“……”

Empress Yan stepped forward and said respectfully, "Grandmother Huang, will you let the children sit with you for a while?" ”

"Okay, good," the Empress Dowager was very happy, beckoning and arranging, "Sit here, Xiaoshu sits next to Grandma, Xiaorui Xiaobi is here, Xiaozu don't stand, Xiaofei is too far away......"

Surrounded by young people, the old man looked pleased, and ordered people to keep bringing plates of delicate fruit snacks, and distributed them to eat like children, and he watched from the sidelines, smiling very happily.

However, despite the happy mood, the Empress Dowager is already old after all, and she will be tired after a few years. Queen Yan was afraid of losing, so she persuaded and deceived the eldest princess of Liyang, and finally coaxed her to agree to go back to the palace to rest, and several people were released.

Mei Changsu thought that this exceptional summons should end smoothly, so he relaxed a little and walked out of the warm pavilion with everyone. As soon as he walked to the staircase, he heard a clear and pleasant female voice behind him: "Mr. Su, please stay." ”

Although she only called "Mr. Su" to stay, it is conceivable that everyone stayed and turned around together.
