was making trouble, I suddenly remembered the matter of the early dynasty, Bao Yuan only smiled and said: "I was too tired last night, so I had to stop the early dynasty today." After that, he didn't forget to pinch my earlobe and said with a smile, "In the future, if the late dynasty and the rejection of the dynasty are all due to Rui'er." I pouted and glanced at him when I heard this, gritted my teeth and said: "That Meng Lang made it clear that he wanted me to become a disaster for the country, since it was the emperor's will, the concubine should obey it." After speaking, he was still angry, and reached out to screw him. But he suddenly caught a glimpse of the palace maid and eunuch standing behind him, so he had to stop his hand.

Bao Yuan laughed when he saw this, put his arm around my shoulder and comforted: "Fang is the one who coaxes Rui'er, you must be confused and uneasy when you first enter the palace, so I have a day off today and accompany Rui'er well." Seeing him so considerate and thoughtful, I smiled.

Bao Yuan arranged for the maid of the Shangshi Palace to send breakfast in, I was already hungry, but now I wanted to see the Queen Mother but I had no appetite, and I lazily moved a few points to the food, Bao Yuan was full of indifference, and personally prepared vegetables for me, coaxing me to eat some snacks. After withdrawing breakfast, he took my hand and went to the Queen Mother's Palace. At this time, I noticed that Bao Yuan was not wearing a crown dress today, and was wearing a regular dress with purple and purple ink edges, but the nine-clawed golden dragon woven with gold thread on the clothes and the dense dragon pattern on the cuffs showed his identity as the ninety-five honor.

After taking advantage of the public opinion, the female official Shangyi brought hazelnuts, chestnuts and jujubes with a gold plate, I didn't know the reason, and asked Bao Yuan, he only smiled and said nothing. I had no choice but to give up, I was worried all the way, and I couldn't care about the scenery on both sides.

"Qinghe Palace has arrived." I only heard Shang Yi singing loudly, Zhiqiu had already stood beside me and stretched out his hand to help me down, I was very surprised to see her, Bao Yuan said behind him: "From today on, Zhiqiu will be your personal female officer." "I know that Baoyuan people call Zhiqiu as Qiu's mother, I heard that she was Baoyuan's nurse, and she has been in the palace for 20 years, and now she is on an errand in the Queen Mother's Palace.

"The emperor is safe, and Mrs. Hua Rui is auspicious." Zhiqiu maintained his usual peace and quiet, and after saluting the two of us, he said: "The Queen Mother has already had breakfast, and she is talking to you in the main hall at this moment, and please move the emperor and Niangniang over." After saying that, he turned sideways and led the way.

Bao Yuan took my hand and walked side by side, I thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate, and whispered: "Meng Lang, I'll just follow you behind, if you go in hand like this, the Queen Mother may be surprised." ”

"It doesn't matter." Bao Yuan smiled warmly, and comforted in a soft voice: "Don't be afraid, Rui'er, the queen mother is a person who eats fasting and recites Buddha, and in the past, she treated Rui'er like that because she didn't understand, but now it's different from the past, she will like you." That being said, I still felt a faint sense of unease.

Just thinking that he had arrived at the palace gate, "The emperor has arrived!" Lady Blossom has arrived! The eunuchs waiting outside the hall sang in a sharp voice.

I only heard the crisp sound of the hairpin ring colliding, and the warblers sounded neatly: "The concubine welcomes the emperor!" In front of her, she had already fallen to her knees.

"Get up." Bao Yuan insisted on taking my hand, and walked straight to the queen mother's seat past everyone. Empress Dowager Li wore a crown dress and sat on a rosewood chair, more graceful and dignified than when she first saw her.

"Sons and daughters, see the queen mother."

"The concubine sees the queen mother." I followed behind Bao Yuan, lowered my eyebrows, and bowed my head.

"Chang'er is exempt, Concubine Xu, you should also get up." The Queen Mother looked at Bao Yuan with a smile and raised her hand slightly towards me, but deliberately accentuated her tone on the word Xu.

"Empress Dowager Xie." I straightened up, my eyes down for instruction.

"Chang'er, sit next to me. Su Jin, move a chair for Concubine Xu. The Queen Mother's tone was gentle, but I became more nervous.

"Chang'er, can you have breakfast?" The Queen Mother said to me: "Concubine Xu, the emperor must use vegetarian food every moon day, and he must pay attention to it in the future." ”

"Yes, the concubine remembers the teachings of the Queen Mother." I hurriedly got up and agreed.

"Chang'er, tomorrow is the Buddha Bathing Festival, and the palace is usually going to hold a blessing ceremony in the Huizhen Palace, are you ready?"

"Erchen has already handled this matter with the Xuanhui Academy, it should be almost, and I will go to see it myself later."

"Then you can go quickly, let us sit and talk, Concubine Xu has just entered the palace and met the other sisters." The Queen Mother said slowly, but her eyes kept looking at me.

"Yes, Erchen will go." Bao Yuan got up, and I and the concubines also hurriedly stood up. He waved his hand and smiled: "I think the queen mother doesn't like me to be here to hinder you from speaking considerately, so she deliberately supports me." Sit it all! He walked up to me and whispered, "I'll pick you up later, and show you around." As he spoke, he shook my hand lightly in his sleeve, helped me straighten the golden step on my hair, smiled and gave me an encouraging look, and walked out like a gust of wind. He didn't shy away from suspicion in front of such a person, so I had to blush and resign myself to seeing him out, but looking back at a pair of hot and jealous eyes.

was about to take a closer look, but heard the queen mother say: "Concubine Xu, you shouldn't know the other concubines in the palace when you first enter the palace, come, you know each other today." As he spoke, he pointed to a beautiful woman wearing a light crimson embroidered red plum skirt and a moon-white brocade shawl and said, "This is Han Zhaorong." ”

"Sister Zhaorong." I bow blessed.

"The lady is above me, how dare the concubine be worshiped by the mother." That Han Zhaorong bowed his knees and returned the salute, and his voice was pleasant. I looked at her closely, her face was round, her demeanor was dignified, and there was a sense of peace between her eyebrows.

"Jingyi, although Concubine Xu is above you, but you are older than her and entered the palace first, and you have a prince, so it is not an exaggeration to be worshiped by her." The Queen Mother said.

"The Queen Mother is right, please ask Sister Zhaorong to mention more in the future." I chimed in, and my attitude was more humble.

"Li Xiuyuan, Su Chongyi, Liu Anchen. The three of you also came to greet Concubine Xu. The Queen Mother spoke, and the three women walked forward, and the one who walked in front was the owner of the gaze just now.

"Xiu Yuan, Li Yanniang, Chongyi, Su Jinyan, An Chen, Liu Huilan, have seen Mrs. Hua Rui." The three women greeted me together, and I helped them up one by one after returning the salute. Xiuyuan Li Yanniang, plump and tall, more charming than the rest of the concubines, and also wore a red and purple brocade flower dress, and the beads were gorgeous, and she felt more beautiful. It's just that I don't like the hot gaze in her eyes, and the deep jealousy is hidden in the dark brown eyes. Chongyi Su Jinyan was wearing a light purple silver silk skirt, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, especially a pair of phoenix eyes, but her whole body exuded a sense of coldness, and she was thousands of miles away from people unintentionally. An Qing Liu Huilan is slender and pretty, and she is also very cute when she wears an apricot-colored orchid palace dress.

Everyone returned to their seats after seeing the salute, only to hear the Queen Mother say: "Li Xiuyuan's outfit today seems to be demonstrating with others?" He took a sip of tea.

"The concubine doesn't dare." I saw that Li Yanniang got up from her seat with a panicked face.

"You didn't enter the palace on the first day, you should know that red can only be worn by concubines of the third grade or above, but the red and purple you are wearing today can only be worn by concubines of the second rank or above. And can you also bring that silver step shake? ”

The concubine confessed, just because she thought that the emperor had accepted a newcomer, and it was a festive day, so she deliberately wore a festive color, thinking that the emperor would be happy to see him, but she didn't want to overstep it. This step was originally given by the emperor when Xuanyu was born, so ......" Li Yanniang explained, but her eyes looked at me for a moment.

"The concubines' clothes and ornaments are customized, and the female officials of Shangyi should have made it clear before you enter the palace, and the concubines can only be peaceful if they follow the rules and regulations." The Queen Mother slowed down her voice and said: "Concubine Xu, I am afraid that you don't know these rules very well when you first come, Zhenghong can only be worn by the Queen Mother and the Queen, but thinking that you are newly married, I am afraid it is also the emperor's intention, but you must not do it again in the future." As he spoke, he looked at my headdress and said, "If the golden step is given by the emperor, it doesn't hurt to wear the belt, but don't be too ostentatious." "It turns out that the Queen Mother is knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, I just noticed that what I am wearing today is a red golden peony pattern Shu brocade skirt, and the peony pattern is only available for concubines above the first grade, and my concubine Mrs. Feng is only from the first grade. I didn't expect to be distracted in the morning and worry about seeing the Queen Mother, so I went over this point with Baoyuan to pick out clothes for me, and I got up to confess my guilt, and the Queen Mother didn't reprimand me anymore, only said that at the request of Baoyuan, Zhiqiu was sent to me as a personal female official, and asked her to teach me more in the future.

As he was talking, he could only hear a crisp children's voice from far and near, "Grandma Huang!" Royal Grandma! Holy brother bullied me! A girl stumbled into view. I saw her throw herself into the arms of the Queen Mother, burying her head in a coquettish voice: "Grandmother Huang, the holy brother always bullies me." ”

"See the Imperial Grandmother!" He was followed by a six-year-old child, but with a calm and calm face.

"Hehehe......" Seeing the Empress Dowager Sun's face, she immediately smiled, and stroked the girl in her arms and smiled: "Look, look, these two little enemies." How many stories are born in just a few moments. As he spoke, he said: "This Fengyi girl is getting more and more delicate, I'm afraid you bullied Sheng'er!" ”

"Imperial Grandmother Mingjian." The boy standing on the ground said solemnly.

"Isn't it......" The little girl was about to deny, looked up at everyone, and suddenly broke free from the queen mother's arms and ran to Han Zhaorong, "Mother, mother, the holy brother bullied me." Saying that, he was tired of being in Jingyi's arms and refused to come down.

"Come on, come on, Zun Sheng, I've seen Concubine Xu." The Queen Mother greeted.

"Is this the Lady Blossom that my father married yesterday?" The boy looked at his grandmother, turned to me and saluted, "Son, see Lady Blossom." "I hurriedly got up and held on, but I lamented again and again in my heart, this ancient man also married and had children too early, thinking that I was not yet sixteen years old to be a stepmother, alas~

was thinking wildly, only to hear the queen mother say: "This is the emperor's eldest son Xuanzhe, who is now raised in Han Zhaorong's palace, and his biological mother has passed away." "Oh, it turns out that this beautiful child in front of me is the child entrusted by Taihua?! Poor little boy lost his mother. Thinking of this, I stroked his head and said softly, "Good child, the mother will take good care of you in the future." As he spoke, he saw that his face turned red, and he looked at me secretly with some twists.

"Mother, this sister is so beautiful." Princess Fengyi, who was sitting in Jingyi's arms, pointed at me and said sweetly.

"Feng'er must not be rude, why don't you go and see Mrs. Hua Rui soon." Jingyi said something to stop Fengyi, I hurriedly turned around and said with a smile: "This is our Fengyi princess, why do I think the princess here is the most beautiful!" He winked at her as he spoke.

"Really? Mother, Feng'er is the most beautiful here? The little girl chirped happily when she saw someone. Everyone laughed when they saw this, and the laughter swept away the tension just now.

After laughing for a while, the Queen Mother was tired, and I got up with the concubines present to leave, but she stopped me and said, "Concubine Xu, you can follow me to the east hall to sit and talk." ”

The east side hall is the living room of the Empress Dowager Li, the layout is unusually simple and simple, I remembered that Bao Yuan said that his mother, who was not from a high background, has always advocated frugality, and because of his belief in Buddhism, he does not like luxury.

After sitting down, Zhou Shanggong sent everyone back, and the Queen Mother looked at me and said: "The past has passed, and I don't care about you anymore, although your current identity is the third lady of Xu Kuangzhang's family, but you know what kind of background you are." Chang'er likes you, and insists on taking you into the palace, and I don't want to be too much of a mother to him, but there is a sentence I said today that you have to remember, no matter what identity you are now, no matter how much Chang'er spoils you, if you dare to charm the Lord and cause trouble, the mourning family will not be spared. Do you understand? ”

"The concubine understands that the concubine will be cautious in her words and deeds in the future and abide by her duty." The Queen Mother didn't like me because of my background, and Bao Yuan insisted on welcoming me into the palace despite opposition, I knew that such a situation was inevitable now, and only by being more deferential could she change her opinion of me.
