Chapter 57: The Queen Mother Arrives in Person
The hollow pear wood windows are slightly closed, and the cool breeze invades through the cracks.
The palace lights are like day, extravagant to the extreme, and the show girl to be selected as a concubine is still like this, not to mention the favorite concubine of the Son of Heaven, the queen of the world.
"No wonder everyone is looking forward to entering the palace as a concubine, but this kind of glory is difficult to imagine outside the palace. Liang Bairou looked at the extremely luxurious furnishings in the hall and sighed.
Xue Hainiang was in a trance, and after a while, she smiled, her voice was clear, "A small courtyard of Chuxiu Palace, my sister still has such feelings, if it is thanks to the Holy Grace in the future, the concubine will give the palace, wouldn't my sister be even more emotional." ”
Liang Bairou was embarrassed, but there was a wisp of embarrassment in her heart, although she was a high-ranking woman, she grew up in the countryside since she was a child, and she had never seen such a luxurious and prosperous palace.
"I can't compare to Hai Niang, I have been in a rich place like Shangjing since I was a child......"
Xue Hainiang knew that she had hit Liang Bairou's heart headache, and said busily: "There will always be a day when pearls are covered with dust." ”
Liang Bairou smiled gracefully, indicating that he didn't mind.
While the two were chatting, Mingxi and Qiu Xuan had already walked in with the money for dinner.
"Miss, hurry up and eat, the food in this palace is more than a hundred times better than that in our house, and even the slaves and maids are also stained." "Qiu Xuan was originally a lively and playful child, but now when she enters the palace, she feels fresh and gorgeous when she looks at everything.
Liang Bairou already minded her identity as a country maid, but now seeing Qiu Xuan's noise that she didn't know the rules, she frowned even more: "Why are you so ignorant of the rules, now that you have entered the palace, you can't be in the house." ”
Xue Hainiang knew this, and hurriedly smiled and comforted her.
After dinner, the two of them gossiped again, until it was almost unitary, Rao is Liang Bai's tenderness was still unfinished, and it was difficult to give up his love, but according to the rules of the palace, he had to go back to the room to take a bath and rest.
The palace lights are like day, shaking the eyes with a tingling pain.
"Mingxi, just leave one lamp behind. Xue Hainiang commanded lightly to Mingxi, her eyelids were slightly constricted, and her pupils were like an eternal deep pool.
Mingxi bowed his head lightly, blew out the palace lamp, and then walked to Xue Hainiang's side and sat down.
"Is there any news from Gu San?" Xue Hainiang's clear voice came, Mingxi enlisted, and replied with a smile: "There is no news for the time being, everything is okay if you want to come to Gu San, but thanks to him today, I never knew that he had such a witty side." ”
Xue Hainiang stared at the candle heart jumping in the gorgeous palace lamp, and smiled lightly, "He is so ......" Otherwise, she would not have left this person behind that day, and did not hesitate to scatter all her money to leave him in the palace.
"Gu San, he really came in time today, otherwise I don't know how Miss Nama would entangle with us. Mingxi said angrily.
Xue Hainiang lifted her chin slightly, and her phoenix eyes swept a deep meaning, "You go to the city gate early in the morning, and let him check the temperament of the father-in-law who claimed to be the head of Chuxiu Palace yesterday, who he is good friends with, and the situation of the concubines in the palace." ”
Mingxi nodded like pounding garlic, and smiled like a flower, "Mingxi knows that Mingxi Ming'er will quietly go to the city gate early in the morning, and no one will find out." ”
Hearing this, Xue Hainiang was a lot relieved, after all, there are many eyes and ears in this palace, and she is a show girl to be selected, if people see that her personal maid has frequent contact with the city gate guards, she will definitely be made a big fuss by someone who cares.
"What do you think of Miss Liang?" Xue Hainiang asked suddenly, but Mingxi was stunned.
She looked back in confusion, but saw Xue Hainiang staring at her with phoenix eyes.
"Miss Liang is kind and amiable, soft and gentle, but she is an excellent person to get along with, and Mingxi looks at her and treats Miss sincerely. ”
Xue Hainiang hooked her lips and smiled, "That's very good." ”
——
The breeze is light and gentle.
Early in the morning, there was a matter of frequent discussion among the show girls, and the Queen Mother, who had lived in Weiyang Palace for a long time, actually went to Chuxiu Palace in person, and went straight to the dormitory of Ma Zaoxiu and Xue Qiaoling.
"Miss Ma really deserves to be the top of the Queen Mother's heart, and she actually made the Queen Mother so aggressive......" The woman dressed in Tianshui blue curl frowned lightly, her jade face was exquisite, and she applied a little powder, but the distortion formed by jealousy on her face was to destroy this beauty.
"Miss Ma is the niece of the Queen Mother, and she is favored by the Queen Mother. ”
For a while, the show girls all had their own thoughts, jealousy, envy, loss, etc.
Xue Hainiang wore a jujube red cloud brocade skirt, gorgeous and beautiful, bright and moving, Liang Bairou wore a lotus pink brocade curl, soft and dignified, out of the water hibiscus, the two stood side by side to attract the attention of many show girls.
"Miss Xue, Miss Liang. A graceful and tall figure came in steps, she was dressed in a purple curly robe, holding a plain shawl in her hand, and her black hair was high.
Dai eyebrows and apricot eyes, looking forward to Shenhui, if the shoulders are shaved into a waist, if the waist is about Su, this person is Murong Mingyue of Murong Mansion.
Murong Mingyue has always been closer to Ma Zaoxiu, but Liang Bairou subconsciously disliked it, but Xue Hainiang smiled like a flower, and stepped forward and said, "Miss Murong got up so early, I don't know if yesterday was a good night's dream?"
Murong Mingyue smiled lightly and bowed her head gently: "The palace is luxurious, the silk bedding, and I sleep very well." ”
The two of them laughed and laughed, but there was no smoke at all.
In another place, Xue Qiaoling was already smiling, she originally thought that living with Ma Zaoxiu would be blessed at most in the future and share a piece of the pie with her, but she never thought that now she would be lucky enough to see the Queen Mother after staying for less than a day.
"The courtiers knocked on the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was blessed with Jin'an. Xue Qiaoling stepped forward and bowed.
The Queen Mother bowed her head slightly, and then stopped looking at her, but blindly asked Ma Zaoxiu for warmth, for fear that she would not be used to living in the palace.
"The niece is tired of the queen mother's aunt, it is really the nephew's unfilial piety, and I ask my aunt to punish her. Ma Zao embroidery snuggled up to the Queen Mother's side as usual, not taking into account that she was now in the palace instead of the ordinary horse family courtyard.
The Queen Mother also caressed her soft black hair lovingly, and said with a smile: "Xiu'er is so well-behaved, how can the mourning family be willing to punish you." ”
Xue Qiaoling specially made a cup of tea, walked to the side of the Queen Mother, and bowed to her, "The Queen Mother, please use tea." ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, Xu Shi looked at her deliberately making tea, and glanced at her lightly, "The mourning family looks at your dress, not like a maid in the palace, you are the one who lives with Xiu'er?"
Xue Qiaoling smiled lightly, and her beautiful eyes flashed a sly, "The courtier Xue family, the second daughter of the Xue Mansion, is fortunate to live with Miss Ma." ”
The Queen Mother smiled softly, "In the future, Xiu'er will have to be taken care of by you......
Before he could say anything, he heard Ma Zao's embroidery sneer: "Xiu'er can be taken care of by her aunt, why do you need others." ”
