Chapter 053: The Queen Mother Summons
"Xiao Qi, what will happen when you say that the Queen Mother suddenly summoned me?"
Mei Ji sat in front of the vanity mirror in a panic and asked anxiously.
When the Queen Mother's will reached Fengtian Pavilion, everyone was shocked. After all, the Queen Mother doesn't want to see the beauty of Fengtian Pavilion, which is something that everyone in the palace knows. This is the first time, the Queen Mother sent her will to Fengtian Pavilion, it was sent before, and it was also a will of punishment.
Xiao Qi obediently walked to the dressing mirror and looked at Mei Ji without makeup in the mirror.
"The slave doesn't know. ”
The Empress Dowager Duan in Long Qi's impression is a gentle, virtuous and dignified woman, she is the princess of Qi State, and the king of Qi State taught her very well, not only poetry and song are unique in five continents, but also have many attainments in the art of war.
The famous poet saint on the list, the dream of a good match in the hearts of thousands of people with lofty ideals.
When Xiao Yi returned to the dynasty, Long Qi was fortunate to meet her several times, although she was a princess of a country, she was not as showy as Concubine De, and the palace feast was always very low-key, making people hardly notice her existence. Only when Xiao Yi appeared, she could be seen with a kind smile and dignified demeanor.
Why Emperor Dachu didn't like her, Long Qi didn't know, at that time, Long Qi only felt that she preferred Duan Zhaoyi, who was cautious everywhere, than Concubine De, who was more active than the queen everywhere.
Fortunately, no matter how disgusted the emperor is with her, she also has a place in the Chu State. Especially the queen, she praised her a lot, and when she was almost forgotten, she could always be heard from the queen's mouth, so that Duan Zhaoyi could often appear in front of the ladies and ladies.
The queen has no prince under her knees, and Duan Zhaoyi is close to her, so the queen treats Xiao Yi as her own child. Even Xiao Yi was able to jump from the vassal king back then and get the opportunity to return to the dynasty, thanks to the help of the queen.
I believe that the queen's help is inseparable from the strategy of Duan Zhaoyi, that is, the current Queen Mother Duan.
When he received the will of the Queen Mother, Xiao Qi recalled all the memories of the Queen Mother.
Empress Dowager Duan is really not a simple character, otherwise, how could she send her son to Kyoto City in a desperate situation of not being favored and become one of the hot heirs to the throne. This difficult road of leaping from the dirt to becoming a chosen one must be indispensable to the guidance of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother doesn't like Mei Ji, and now she is suddenly summoned, it must be because of Yu Ji's mention last time.
Chun Yumin is most familiar with the Queen Mother, and she once warned Xiao Qi.
What Chun Yumin said should not be wrong, the Queen Mother will not accept Mei Ji easily, so this time, Xiao Qi does not feel optimistic.
"How could you not know. Hui Chang, who was standing on the side, rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "You said that Yu Ji would help our mother, but since you came out of Qixiang Pavilion, there has been no movement on Yu Ji's side. It was so easy for her to mention our mother, and the Queen Mother summoned her. Looking at the face of the herald's father-in-law, he knew that it was not a good thing. Yu Ji is already ambiguous, and now that you have exposed Niangniang in front of her, if she goes to the Queen Mother to complain, Niangniang will have a hundred mouths and can't tell. ”
Seeing that Meiji's face was also full of worry, Hui Chang continued to sarcastically: "Niangniang, the slave's right eyelid is jumping, her chest is also stuffy, and her mind is also very restless, I always feel that something big may happen." And so it turned out. According to the slave's conjecture, the Queen Mother's summons this time must not be as simple as drinking tea, the mother must be careful and be vigilant everywhere. ”
"Of course I know that the Queen Mother's mind cannot be changed with a word. She already hates Hunan people, and she won't really accept me because of Yu Ji's praise. ”
Mei Ji has such a preparation in her heart.
"But," Mei Ji looked at Xiao Qi worriedly: "In the will of the Queen Mother this time, she even brought Xiao Qi." Xiao Qi, why did the Queen Mother let you go too. Isn't it, she found out about our use of slavery, so this time, she asked us to go together to confess our sins. ”
This is Meiji's biggest concern.
The use of Xiangnu allowed her to quickly perceive the turmoil in the palace, which brought a lot of convenience, but at the same time, she also had to bear this part of the crime. In case of the East Window incident, it will be a crime of treason, and she will not be able to escape from it.
Xiao Qi hurriedly comforted: "Niangniang, how could it be." If the queen mother punished Niangniang for this time, she would let the head of the palace come over to announce her will, how could she send a young inner eunuch. Moreover, if you want to be punished, you can do it in Fengtian Pavilion and go to the Queen Mother. ”
Mei Ji nodded: "What you said is reasonable, but for some reason, my heart is always up and down." ”
In fact, not only Meiji, but Xiao Qi was also unsure of the Queen Mother's thoughts for a while.
She smiled and said: "Niangniang, let's let the slave maid get a decent outfit for the mother, see the queen mother, but don't be sloppy." ”
Mei Ji nodded: "Okay then." ”
Today's Mei Ji is wearing a lotus pink winter dress, with a goose down coat, the sideburns on the top of her head are simple and natural, and she does not swear too much hairpin, just use a few delicately made lotus flowers to bundle her hair. This outfit is both simple and generous, and the lotus flower is a Buddha flower, which is right for the queen mother's aesthetics, and there will be no mistakes.
Hui Chang personally put on makeup for Mei Ji again, and there was no too much modification on her fair and delicate skin, only a simple pale lip grease was applied to the pink lip flap, and the whole person's complexion suddenly improved.
Looking at her aura in the mirror, Mei Ji's high heart was finally able to let go of a little.
I hope that she won't let the Queen Mother be angry again today.
As its name suggests, the palace is very luxurious. This used to be the place where the grandmother of King Zhao of Xiangguo lived, and the feng shui was excellent and very fairy. This grandmother was 100 years old, so when she first entered the palace, the Queen Mother chose this place to recuperate.
As soon as I walked into the Qihuang Palace, I heard the pleasant Buddha sound from the Buddha bell under the corridor.
The smell of sandalwood fills the air, which makes people feel relaxed, calm, and calm just by being in the middle of it.
In the main hall, Xiao Qi knelt behind Mei Ji.
She didn't dare to look up, she only knew that the palace maids were serving the Queen Mother and doing something.
At this time, the Queen Mother was much younger than Long Qi's memory.
She wore only a bedgown, and her dark and thick hair shimmered with a lubricated sheen scattered behind her. When Xiao Qi entered the hall, he only glanced at it quietly, and he already felt that the woman in front of him was a peerless beauty.
A little palace maid knelt not far in front of Mei Ji, holding a Buddhist scripture and reciting it softly.
The queen mother's eyes are not good, so she specially selected a few articulate and sweet voices from the palace maids to recite Buddhist scriptures for her every day.
Seeing Mei Ji kneeling below, she slowly raised her hand, and the palace maid immediately stopped.
"Mei Ji, I heard that you are also copying blessings, but you really have a heart. ”
