Chapter 401: Reunion after a long absence

Although it is daytime, Cining Palace is still brightly lit, a hundred palace lamps emit a faint glimmer through the light yarn, the women in the dormitory compete with each other, the warbler sounds and swallows, and there are elderly women sitting in the hall and laughing with the women around them.

Some men from close relatives of the royal family also arrived, but they did not dare to be presumptuous, such as Wang Cheng and Zhang Heling brothers, although they are usually very domineering, but today they are docile like kittens, standing obediently on this side of the palace gate, not squinting.

When the Son of Heaven arrived, everyone knelt down to greet him, Jiajing was used to seeing such pomp, and sent him to the Empress Dowager Zhang as if no one was there, knelt down and kowtowed three times, and said: "Erchen congratulates the queen mother for a long life." ”

Jiajing has been in Beijing for more than two years, and has never had such a posture, Empress Dowager Zhang was surprised and delighted, and had to get down from the couch, personally helped Jiajing up, and complained angrily: "The emperor is the Son of Heaven, how can he practice himself like this?" Get up quickly, it's cold on the ground. ”

Jiajing took advantage of the situation, smiled, and then said, "Two Aiqing, come in." ”

While talking, Xu Qian and Yang Yiqing came in together, Yang Yiqing is a bad old man, over seventy years old, and there is nothing surprising about his body, so when he came in, the ladies seemed to be blind and didn't see him.

This is the tragedy of the old age, don't look in front of the men, the old man is senior, and he has the confidence to speak, but in the eyes of the women, the bad old man is like the air, dispensable.

Everyone's eyes naturally fell on Xu Qian, who was young and energetic, handsome and chic, and slender beside Yang Yiqing, with this Yang Yiqing as a foil, Xu Qian at this moment was really dazzling. Heroic.

Yang Yiqing and Xu Qian bowed down and congratulated Empress Dowager Zhang on her birthday: "I wish my mother a long life." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang said dignifiedly: "Don't be polite, get up and speak." ”

The two saluted many nobles and reported their names. Everyone knew that this young man was Xu Qian, and they paid more attention.

"Look at people, he became a champion at a young age, teaching the royal lieutenant. My unsuccessful son is older than he is, and I have to call him an adult when I see him. ”

"He is Xu Jiaoxi? At such an age, can you really run the school well? ”

Everyone is appreciative and suspicious, after all, many relatives are in the school, and they don't expect to teach people well, for fear of bringing people badly.

They have seen what it is like for a group of fox friends and dog friends to mix together in their nephews' generation, dare to do any bad things, and dare to talk nonsense.

Empress Dowager Zhang ordered someone to sit on Yang Yiqing and Xu Qian, and Xu Qian sat down. I saw so many old women and young women looking at him. I'm a little embarrassed. Turning his gaze, he wanted to dodge these eager eyes, but he might as well see a familiar figure. But it's the Miss Lu family.

Miss Lu followed behind Mrs. Lu and waited obediently beside her. Sometimes the messy hair with sideburns turned to reveal a goose-egg-like face facing Xu Qian, and whispered in Mrs. Lu's ear, most of these words were related to Xu Qian, and Mrs. Lu looked at Xu Qian and smiled.

This smile made Xu Qian's hairs stand up involuntarily, and he didn't know how many bad things Miss Lu said about herself.

At this time, Jiajing said slowly: "Queen Mother, don't you often say that this birthday is not interesting, it is like this every year, and it will pass in a blink of an eye, is it nothing more than listening to the drama and talking?" I thought of a fun thing to ask some juniors to come and congratulate you on your birthday, what do you think? ”

Empress Dowager Zhang understood, glanced at the Queen Mother, and both showed a triumphant smile, and said, "Oh? I don't know which descendants it is. ”

Jiajing Zhengse said: "These are not only heroes, but also loyal orphans, all of whom are the pillars of my Ming Dynasty, and they heard about the birth of their mother, so they also want to do their filial piety." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang smiled and said, "You, you just have some weird ideas, everyone is here, call in, take a good look at the mourning family." ”

When she said that she had a good look, she glanced at the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother coughed at a grandmother beside her, who immediately stepped into the ear room on the side.

Said to be the ear room, may as well say that it is a side hall, this side hall is separated by several light yarns, Mama saluted in the direction of the light yarn, raised her eyes to look at the pretty figure behind the light yarn, and said: "Your Highness, people are coming, Niangniang invites you to take a look." ”

The voice behind the light gauze looked displeased, and Yinling's voice said: "What's there to see, they are all a group of gentlemen, usually very well-behaved in front of people, but behind the scenes it is another way, the palace is tired of dying of such people, there is no father's shadow, and these people with low eyes are afraid of starving to death." You go and ask, have these people read books? It's all sake bags and rice bags. ”

Mama smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, isn't that Xie Zhao full of economy?" It's not that His Highness doesn't like it. ”

The person behind the light yarn was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "If you don't like it, you don't like it, it's strange that you like such a wooden person." ”

Mama took the opportunity to say: "I don't know what His Highness likes?" ”

The people inside said angrily: "You don't have to ask, what kind of I like, the queen mother can't find it." ”

These words are a bit confusing, the dignified princess, behind the queen mother of the two palaces, and the support of the Son of Heaven, there are still people in this world who can't be found? Could it be that Qu Xing wants to go down to earth, or the gods in the sky can't succeed, but the princess is very angry today, and Mama didn't dare to contradict her, so she said: "Niangniang said, Your Highness will take a look, success or failure is another matter, the right is to invite Your Highness to watch the play, Your Highness should not embarrass the old slave......"

"Okay...... Okay......" Princess Yongchun softened her heart and said, "Just follow the queen mother, go, roll up the curtain, and the palace will be seen from here." ”

She stepped out of the lotus step, it was the Hongxiu that Xu Qian saw in Jiangnan last time, nearly two years of hard work, Hongxiu has added a bit of maturity, a graceful palace dress, it seems that she can't hide her graceful state, the apricot-like face is white and picturesque, when she arrives at the door, her smoky eyes look at the outer hall through the curtain, her eyes are a little lazy, and she doesn't seem to be interested in anything, but suddenly, her eyes moved, her eyes narrowed into a line, as if she saw something interesting, and whispered: "It's him?" ”

Mama said on the side: "Who is he that Your Highness is talking about?" ”

"Nothing." Hongxiu lost consciousness, her thin lips raised slightly, she smiled self-deprecatingly, and said casually: "What is the origin of that young man sitting next to His Majesty?" ”

Mama glanced out at Hongxiu's words and said, "He is the champion Gong Xu Qian, the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, didn't he call in two academy students and captains to congratulate Zhang Niangniang on her birthday this time?" He is the teacher of this royal academy. ”

Hongxiu was stunned for a moment, wrinkled her nose, and said, "It's just a kid who hasn't dried up." Although she was disdainful in her mouth, she was quite surprised in her heart, she couldn't help but think of what happened in Zhejiang, she was quite happy at that time, why was she happy? Hongxiu didn't think deeply, she recalled carefully, and felt that there was nothing worth reminiscing about, saying that it was heaven on earth, and the scenery was not as beautiful as the palace, it seemed to be ...... There seems to be one person who makes her quite interested.

She looked at Xu Qian with interest, Xu Qian was taller than before, Xu was a master, his complexion was fairer than before, he was still so clear-eyed, but he looked too strict when he was sitting.

I haven't seen each other for so long, and there is no strangeness, so that Hongxiu suddenly remembered what the two said when they were separated,

"I'm so sad now that I can't make poetry."

"You are so uninteresting, someone deceived you, I reported the news for you, Huang Gonggong's side, I also gave you a lot of good words, now I beg you to write a poem to say goodbye, you are actually pushing back."

"I can't make a poem, so I might as well just give you a sentence." "When the lonely sail is far away and the sky is clear, I know that my thoughts are always thinner than the West Lake. May the girl have a smooth sailing here......"

"Although this is not a poem, it has some meaning, only to know that missing is better than West Lake, hey......"

"Alright, get out!"

"Holy!"

Thinking of this, Hong Xiu Wan'er smiled, her eyes flashed like stars, and her thin lips looked good when they were hooked.

Don't you know if you remember me, this idiot? Thinking of this, Hongxiu's mood became heavy again.

Hongxiu's smile and the trance when frowning fell into the eyes of the old lady beside her, and the old lady was suddenly shocked, her face turned green with fright, and she muttered in her heart: "This Xu Qian has a wife, and the palace also promised him a family, one person, two debts, if it ...... If...... Isn't that a human life? If you let Niangniang know, I don't know how many people in this palace want to fall to the ground. ”

The people in the side hall were thinking wildly, and there was a commotion in the outer hall, but they saw a team of burly and fierce warriors in strong suits rushing in, and these warriors at first glance had a terrifying majesty, and their eyes showed a fierce light, which made people daunting.

When the warriors entered the hall, they immediately lined up, fell to the ground together, and said loudly: "I wish Empress Dowager Zhang a long life!" ”

These people shouted in unison, and all of them were like bells, which added to their majesty.

Empress Dowager Zhang was suddenly frightened, and finally relieved herself, but she reluctantly smiled and said, "Okay, you are all good men, are you royal captains?" ”

Yang Yiqing stood up, bowed to the ground, and said, "Weichen Qi Niangniang, this is a warrior of the Martial Arts Academy." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang immediately bowed her head and said to Jiajing: "The mourning family is a women's family, it can't be said to be good or bad, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

Jiajing was full of praise and said, "Strong man." He added, "The Warrior Camp is nothing more than that." ”

Hearing this, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor immediately frowned, the warrior camp is the most elite armed force in the palace, the guard of the guards, commanded by the Imperial Horse Supervisor, this martial arts academy has only been practiced for a few months, and the warrior camp is compared, isn't it clear that he is incompetent?
