Tong Xinrou was preached and displeased, but thinking that everything in the palace would depend on Zuo Rongrong to take care of her, she had to endure it, nodded obediently, and looked very well-behaved, Zuo Rongrong glanced at her, didn't want to waste time, and directly led people to greet a few people who were good friends with her.

"Oh, Sister Rongrong, you're here so early." A woman wearing goose yellow pink clothes came to greet Zuo Rongrong, and there were two other people who came together, one in pink clothes and one in green, Zuo Rongrong smiled on her face, "Of course you have to come early, today is the birthday of the queen's mother, and you came quite early." ”

The woman in yellow pouted, "Besides, my mother didn't want to come, so she woke me up from bed early in the morning and dressed up, but I haven't slept enough." Saying that, she yawned, the two women next to her smiled, Zuo Rongrong frowned, "Look at you, talking nonsense again, it would be bad if someone heard this, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Zuo Rongrong's tone was accusatory, blaming the little girl in front of her for being open-mouthed, the little girl stuck out her tongue, and knew that she seemed to have said the wrong thing. Several people chatted enthusiastically, and Tong Xinrou, who was standing on the side, couldn't interject at all, so she could only keep smiling and standing aside and watching a few people.

Finally, someone still discovered her existence, Huang Yi asked Zuo Rongrong in a whisper, Zuo Rongrong looked back at Tong Xinrou and explained: "Oh, this is the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, Tong Xinrou, she wants to enter the palace with us today, okay, don't say more, let's hurry in and get there, it's better to get there early." ”

Tong Xinrou originally wanted to get close to a few people, but she didn't expect to be directly interrupted by Zuo Rongrong, and took everyone away directly, the smile on her face froze, looking at the backs of several people, Tong Xinrou's fingers clenched, "Sooner or later, when you cry, hum!" ”

whispered, Tong Xinrou still hurriedly followed, and the group soon arrived at the queen's bedroom, Tong Xinrou was surprised all the way, I didn't expect the palace to be so big, I don't know how much more than their Tong Mansion, Tong Xinrou felt that her heart was fluttering and picking up.

When she arrived at the queen's bedroom, Tong Xinrou only felt more restrained, and the young ladies sitting there began to pay attention to their manners, and the small table in front of them was full of all kinds of exquisite and delicious delicacies, but no one touched it, and Tong Xinrou had to sit upright with her eyes and nose, and suddenly Tong Xinrou felt an inexplicable coercion.

Everyone saluted, Tong Xinrou hurriedly followed, Yu Guang cautiously looked at the woman with the most noble status in the east, and suddenly felt a lot more pressure in her heart, this is the queen mother.

After the ceremony, the queen let everyone sit down with thousands of manners and dignity, and sat down with a childlike heart, and did not dare to come out, and then the queen spoke, "You can come, the palace is very happy, come, you can have a drink and you can start the banquet, no need to be restrained." ”

Everyone smiled and catered to her, Tong Xinrou looked at the noble queen, and was extremely envious, Tong Xinrou's eyes were too conspicuous, many people looked at them, Zuo Rongrong looked to the side, and found the emotion in Tong Xinrou's eyes, frowned unhappily, and reminded loudly, "Didn't I remind you, enter the palace and look less, what are you doing staring at the queen mother so scorchingly, hurry up and take it back for me!" ”

The queen sat on the top seat and had long noticed the movements below, but she still had this determination after many years in the harem.

The queen remained silent and gave Rika a gesture, Rika had already noticed the childlike softness with burning eyes, there was no way she was too conspicuous, and after receiving the queen's instructions, Rika nodded down, and the queen continued to remain silent.

At this time, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, after a while, these young ladies in the boudoir couldn't wait to show their talents in front of the queen, and a woman in blue stood up from her position, "Queen Mother, today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, the little girl has been practicing hard at home for a long time, and she has prepared a gift for the Queen Mother." ”

The queen looked at her with a smile, "Oh? It's rare that you are so hearted, so, then this palace wants to see it. ”

Lan Yi smiled and leaned over, "That little girl is ugly, and today I prepared a song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" for the queen's mother, I hope the queen will like it." ”

Then the woman stepped forward, someone in the middle had already placed the zither in the middle, the woman in blue sat behind the zither, the green jade fingers attached to the strings, and suddenly the momentum of the whole person changed, and then a passionate and powerful song was so pleasant between the fingers, echoing in the hall, the queen smiled on her face, looking very satisfied.

The young ladies sitting on both sides have different expressions, some are envious, some are disdainful, some are unconvinced, and some are indifferent, Zuo Rongrong is like this, she has nothing to ask for the queen, so naturally she will not want to be in the limelight in front of her, these women are either family orders, or they want to ascend to the supreme concubine position, competing to be the crown princess, and they want to be able to jump into the dragon gate one day.

However, she already has Tong Yimeng in her heart, so she doesn't care much about these, but it's a pity that Tong Yimeng doesn't seem to have any other thoughts about her, she is now sixteen, and in two years, she will have to marry if she doesn't marry, according to her father's temperament, she will never agree to let her marry the declining Tong family, which makes her very annoyed.

Zuo Rongrong was absent-minded about this, but Tong Xinrou, who was sitting beside her, was full of fighting spirit, the woman in the field had finished playing, and the queen smiled, "Not bad, very good, reward!" ”

A pair of jade Ruyi was so lightly rewarded by the queen, Tong Xinrou looked at the color of the pair of jade Ruyi, and knew at a glance that it was not ordinary, and a touch of greed flashed in her eyes.

The woman in blue thanked her with a smile, took Yu Ruyi and sat back in her place, and then more people came to perform, playing the pipa, dancing, playing the flute, everything, childlike Xinrou was also a little itchy, since childhood, in order to marry into the palace, Zhao Meizhi did not find a teacher for her, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, compared to these young ladies, she can also be no less.

It's just that she doesn't plan to perform these today, and at the same time sighs in her heart that she is prescient, because these people are either vocal music or dance, all of them fall into clichés, and Tong Xinrou has absolute confidence in herself at once.

Everyone sang and I appeared, and soon stopped, everyone was rewarded, the gifts were similar, but there was no distinction between high and low, Tong Xinrou took it all in, and felt that now was the time for him to play, so he got up, "Queen Mother, the little girl has heard that Queen Mother loves poetry, and today I saw Queen Mother shocked, so I want to write a poem, and I hope that Queen Mother will not dislike it." ”

As soon as Tong Xinrou stood up, everyone's eyes looked at her, and doubts flashed in their eyes, the ladies and ladies in the capital basically knew each other, but this person looked strange and didn't know where to come.
