In addition to the emperor and the prince and princess, the only person who is eligible to ride in the Forbidden City is the king and his wife. Song Haonian followed King Xin to the Qianqing Palace to meet the emperor, and Lily went to Kunning Palace with Princess Xin to meet Queen Zhang, if she was really held by the nursing mother, and followed Lily's side: Today, Princess Zhou made up big makeup, her hair was full of pearls, she was wearing grand civilian clothes, and she couldn't hold her child, and Lily was also wearing a full set of jewelry.

So as not to be rude in front of the queen.

Princess Xin saw that Lily was nervous, but when she had never seen the queen Fengyan and was a little scared, she didn't care much, and said with a smile: "Niangniang is very kind, don't be afraid." ”

Lily secretly clenched her fists, forcing herself to compose.

The chariot slowly drove into the palace gate, Princess Zhou, Lily and the nurse stepped on the embroidery pier to get out of the car, and there were already palace ladies waiting on the side, introducing them to Kunning Palace.

The queen sat in the main hall of Kunning Palace, Lily didn't dare to look up, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a round pearl under the hem of her casual jacket skirt, which was dazzling.

Princess Zhou had a very good face in front of the queen, and after she looked at the seat, Lily had to pay a big salute to the queen, and said: "The people's woman Li, meet the queen." ”

The queen's voice was soft: "This is Brother Xuan's daughter-in-law, raise your head and let me take a look." ”

Lily held her breath, followed the instructions of the female officer, raised her face slightly, her eyes drooped and did not dare to look directly at the queen, and only fell on the pattern of flowers and birds embroidered on her green knee skirt.

The queen smiled again: "Our family is flesh and blood, why bother to see outside, you raise your eyes and take a look with me." ”

Only then did Lily dare to raise her eyes, only to see that the queen was wearing a crown of gold silk inlaid with red treasures, wearing a big red python jacket and a green knee skirt, dressed in casual clothes. This queen is a famous beauty, her face is like Guanyin, her eyes are like autumn waves, her mouth is like a cherry blossom, and she is dignified and beautiful. She looked into Lily's eyes with a smile, and saw that she was slightly nervous, but her eyes were clear, not like such treacherous and evil people, nor were she dazzled by wealth, so she couldn't help nodding and laughing

"He's a good boy. ”

Princess Zhou said: "Niangniang doesn't know, this child is very scared along the way, but it seems that the concubine wants to trick her into eating her alive with Niangniang." Seeing the phoenix face of the mother at this time, I knew that we were also a person with a nose and two eyes, and we had no three heads and six arms. ”

Lily blushed and bowed her head, and the queen asked the female official to show Lily a seat, and asked the nurse to bring Ruzhen up.

Before entering the palace, the nurse had already picked up the inside and out of Ruzhen to make sure that he would not and pee in front of the queen, this kid loved bright colors, and he didn't cry when he was handed to the queen's arms, staring intently at the rich ruby on the crown of her hair.

The queen only cared about the family affairs of Princess Zhou and Lilyla, and asked: "How is the situation at your family?

Most of the concubines of the Ming Dynasty came from good folk families, and the daughters of wealthy families and petty officials near the capital were selected to enrich the palace, and they were guided and educated by female officials for many years before they were able to serve the Son of Heaven and the mother of the world.

Empress Zhang and Princess Zhou were both born in the people, and they were not high-ranking families, but they both had small property in their families, and they had never seen a family like the Li family in Liushan Village who sold children's beards, and they didn't know how Song Haonian lived in the people.

Lily said: "My mother's family is really not a family with status, two years earlier, so poor that I can't even afford to eat, my mother is determined to sell my three sisters at a good price, so that I can save money for my brother, fortunately, the little brother has a good heart, but he knows how to love us." ”

He also said: "I just married the big man, I am afraid that he will not be afraid, for fear that he will beat me if he disagrees, and then he will be better, he is not a bad-tempered person, he looks fierce, but treats people very well." ”

The queen couldn't help but wonder: "What are you afraid of him doing?

Princess Zhou laughed all of a sudden: "This is how rare and strange the mother is, that folk couple, it is common for husbands to beat their wives, I don't believe you ask Brother Xuan's daughter-in-law." ”

Lily also nodded and said: "Niangniang is a person who lives in the heavenly palace, I don't know that there is one of the most unpromising men in our countryside, or he is angry outside, or he can't earn a family to chew and wrap, and he will be beaten after grabbing his wife, and he should be angry." ”

The queen said: "If Changping knows, hit the lower half of them!"

Princess Changping was raised on horseback by the emperor when she was a child, and she was born with a violent temper, more like his father than the prince, if she knew such things, none of the men who had to be prestigious with their wives could please her hands. Princess Zhou also said: "There is one thing in Changping that is right, people still have to read to understand reason, for example, let's beat the children and the official teaching, then we understand the truth of husband and wife, mutual respect and love, if you put it in the people, the villain does not know that men must love their wives, and women do not know how to respect their husbands."

Husband, husband and child, aren't you going to make a lot of shameless things?"

When Princess Zhou fled to Nanjing, she saw some folk sufferings along the way, and she knew more than Queen Zhou.

The two sighed at each other, and asked Lily again: "You had such a hard time before, what happened later?" Although the news reported by Chen Bin was clear, he did not hear Lily speak vividly after all.

Lily smiled and told Song Haonian how to go out to sell goods, hunt and make skins, and how she picked wild fruits and hunted wild vegetables at home to satisfy her hunger.

Later, she talked about raising chickens and ducks, ordering tofu and other things, she picked out the interesting parts and talked about them, and the troubles and hardships encountered over the years were lightly bred, and Queen Zhang and Princess Zhou both listened to it.

If he really couldn't stay any longer, the queen called a female official to take him to the warm pavilion, "Take out the things that the prince used when he was a child and give them to him to play." ”

The queen and Princess Zhou kept urging Lily to ask her about the following, and Lily drank tea while talking, and unconsciously poured two cups of tea, and was a little urgent.

The queen was still asking, "Have you ever caught a rabbit?"

Lily's face was embarrassed: "Niangniang, forgive the sin of the people's women, the women have to go and change their clothes." ”

The queen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly recruited the female official to come over, took Lily to the clean room, and said to Princess Zhou: "Although I grew up in the people, it is not evil, and the people are also generous." ”

Princess Zhou said: "I'm afraid that we are ordinary, but she is afraid of some generosity, and it is the most rare to have a clear mind, plus Brother Xuan looks at her eyes, so I found Brother Xuan, and I don't want to be a wicked person to make Brother Xuan hold a grudge, so I simply recognize this daughter-in-law." ”

The queen said: "The folk say that the poor and lowly friends should not be forgotten, the wife of the bad chaff does not go to the court, and Brother Xuan is the only one who is willing to share the hardships when she is the most sad, and now her identity is different from the past, if she is left behind immediately, she will be frivolous." ”

The two most noble women of the whole Ming Dynasty got together to discuss the matter of lily, and in the end they had to admit it: Song Haonian recognized this daughter-in-law, and the Li family had never done anything crazy and rebellious. When Lily came back from the clean room, she felt that the queen and Princess Zhou treated her more kindly than before, and the queen asked if she was used to living in Beijing these days, and Lily said: "If you talk about life, the countryside naturally can't compare with the capital, and the food and clothing used in these days are all rich that I have never seen in my life."

It's expensive, and it really dazzles me. In terms of climate, Beijing is drier and colder than Taiping County, and the flowering period is late. ”

Princess Zhou said: "Exactly, a few years ago, I was in Taiping County, and I only felt that the place was humid and warm, and even in winter, it was not as cold as Beijing. ”

The queen smiled: "You are unlucky, in a few days I am afraid that there will be wind and sand, and then Zhenzhen'er will not even be able to get out of the door, my lord, if it is true, you have to be careful, don't let him be blown by the wind." ”

Lily hurriedly nodded yes, she had never heard of the sandstorm in Beijing in her previous life, and she hadn't really understood it here, listening to the queen's meaning, she was afraid that children would not be able to resist such a big wind and sand.

A few people laughed for a while, and the queen called a female official and said, "You go to the Qianqing Palace to ask the emperor for me, I haven't seen Brother Xuan yet, why is he holding Brother Xuan and not allowing him to come to see me?"

The female official smiled and played: "I'm afraid that when the emperor sees His Royal Highness, he will be so happy that he won't let go, and the mother will be in a hurry, and the slave will go." ”

The queen said: "If you really are still here with me, if the emperor doesn't come, he won't be allowed to see his nephew!"

The female official hurriedly went to the Qianqing Palace to deliver a message for the queen, and when Baihe heard that the emperor was coming, she became nervous again, and the queen glanced at her and said: "The emperor is not used to worrying about women, you don't need to be afraid of him." ”

Lily whispered: "When we were at home, we only heard that the emperor was heroic, and the people were blunt, so we were afraid of provoking the emperor's anger. ”

The queen said, "There is me." ”

and said to Princess Zhou: "I look at Brother Xuan's daughter-in-law's face, it looks like yours?"

Princess Zhou nodded: "She is young, and she wears these things brightly, what is the use of those heads and faces that I have? ”

"You're a decade younger than me, and you're lying in front of me to say these things. The queen said angrily, "Since you say so, I will also give Brother Xuan's daughter-in-law two sets of noodles, so that you don't have to chew your tongue everywhere, saying that I, who is an uncle, don't hurt my nephew and daughter-in-law." ”

Lily hurriedly thanked her, and the queen said, "It's your mother who grinds me." ”

A few people talked about the popular clothing patterns in Beijing today, Lily couldn't speak, but also listened to it with relish, the queen and Princess Zhou talked to Lily set the style of clothing for the four seasons, and asked Gong E to write it down, "Go back and take Brother Xuan's daughter-in-law to measure the figure, but you can get it in a few days." ”

Song Haonian has not yet been officially titled, and everyone knows that his status is high, and their husband and wife can only make folk style things, and they can't use the royal system.

Thinking of this, the queen sent someone to urge the emperor: "Ask the emperor, if there is no side, I will ask someone to make the clothes of the princess of the county for Brother Xuan's daughter-in-law." ”

Li Baiyi Jiemin woman, the biggest thought in this life is to be a landlord's wife, there are three or five people at home to help with the work, how can I think that I can become the princess of the county one day? Rao knew that Song Hao was a county king, she was still startled, and quickly stood up and excused herself: "Niangniang, my mother's reward has made me uneasy these days, and today Niangniang has given me such good things, where can I afford it? We didn't pay filial piety for a few days, but spared Niangniang's things for nothing."

, I really can't get over it in my heart. Suddenly, a majestic voice outside the door said: "You will keep your things with Niangniang, what can you not afford to do?"
