Chapter 44

Seeing Xiaoluo ask this, Yan Hui cried with joy, after years of lying on the salary, she finally saw a little hope, I hope this hope can bring more unknown truths to herself.

"You go first to the Queen Mother of Shoukang Palace, and the rest of the matter will slowly depend on the situation step by step, the most important thing is not to let the emperor have any suspicions." Yan Hui said seriously.

Xiaoluo nodded.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yan Hui said some precautions for entering the palace and some preferences of the Queen Mother, etc., always doing enough homework, just make sure that nothing goes wrong.

The two chatted for almost an hour, which made Qiu'er and Yu Niang outside very anxious, and Yu Niang was worried that Xiao Luo's heart was unacceptable. But Qiu'er is worried about whether Miss is being bullied or something, which is really laughable.

Fortunately, Steward Zhou came over in time to inform the Taishi to come back, and Yu Niang had to enter the door to inform Yan Hui. The master finally returned home, and the eldest lady and the prince were going to greet each other at the door.

Yan Hui and Xiao Luo are as close as mother and daughter, this Chinese New Year's Eve meal is also happy, especially the Gong clan directly boasted that Xiao Luo has strong learning ability, is a good child, what can be taught once, do things seriously, after doing things will be looked at again and the like, very careful. I was embarrassed to praise Xiaoluo, to be honest, Xiaoluo really couldn't listen to such praise of himself. Regarding the suspicion of his life experience, Xiaoluo didn't particularly care. If it's not your own, it's not your own, but if it's your own, you'll naturally come that day.

Taking advantage of the New Year's trip, Xiaoluo also visited the capital all over the city. Which teahouse has the sweetest tea? Which restaurant has the best food to your taste? Which hairpin is the most expensive? Which brocade clothes sell the best? Xiaoluo took the silver her mother gave her, and spent countless sums of money.

According to the rules of the New Year, the second day of the Lunar New Year is to go to the elders of other families to pay New Year's greetings. Empress Dowager Yan is in a high position, and she lives in the palace, so naturally people from the Yan Mansion come to pay her New Year's greetings. In previous years, Yan Hui did not have her share in Zhao Temple, but now that she has come back and recognized a righteous daughter, the people of Yanfu have gone to Shoukang Palace to pay New Year's greetings to her.

Today's Yan Hui's dress is really eye-catching, of course, she has been dressed up since she came back from Zhao Temple. But this New Year's is even more unique, a brocade dress like blue and green embroidered with a little red to a little bewitching peony is dazzling, with a rare green finch flying cloak, and then there are tassels on both sides of the golden hosta, set off her delicate white face is more graceful and delicate and delicate, this dress is not dazzling.

The contrast is much simpler, and it is still a solid blue background as always, and the hem is embroidered with some small flowers.

"Luo'er, you're too simple!" Yan Hui blamed, turned to look at Liang Niang and asked sharply, "How do you all serve Miss?" ”

Liangniang and Linggui immediately knelt down, and Qiu'er also knelt down.

"It's all New Year's, so don't be angry, mother," Xiaoluo smiled and said with a smile on her hand,

"It's because I insist on wearing this, I'm still young, and if I dress up, I will have a chance in the future, and it's not bad."

"That's so, but if you dress like this to enter the palace today, others will say that we are harsh on you." Yan Hui couldn't cry or laugh, Xiaoluo's stubbornness didn't mean she didn't know.

"Why care about what others say, isn't it okay for us to live well? What kind of harsh criticism to talk about, Yanfu is my home. ”

Yan Hui smiled, this child is now more and more able to speak.

"Words are terrible! You'll experience it later. I don't know when the Taishi walked out of the left room of the main hall, and his tone was neither serious nor light.

"I've seen my father!"

"I've seen my grandfather!"

"Don't be polite, you'll know what is terrible in the future!" After that, he glanced at Xiaoluo and walked away,

"Chen Shangshu made an appointment to go to Wentang in the western suburbs together, and he won't come back at noon."

"Father, wait for me, my son will accompany you!" Shi Ziye hurriedly followed.

In this Wentang in the western suburbs, others don't know what to say is the clearest. It is just a Taoist temple located in the west of the city at the Great Cliff Mountain. However, Daya Mountain is famous for its high cliffs, but there is a natural habitable place between the two peaks in the middle, with a natural hot spring, called Wentang in the western suburbs. And that place is another place where she can't be a senior brother, and she is relieved of this.

Sending away his father and brother Han, Yan Hui looked at Xiaoluo silently, and Xiaoluo returned to the courtyard with great interest and changed into a brocade dress embroidered with white plum in pink that he didn't like the most, plus a cloak of light white and warm colors. In short, it is a dress that is in line with my mother's mind and I don't want to go too against my own ideas. The three women entered the sedan chair in turn according to the order of the eldest and youngest, and Xiaoluo was at the end, she rode a cyan sedan chair today, which was very suitable for her consistent low-key, showy style.

It's the New Year, and the palace is also very lively, but this excitement is no better than the natural fireworks outside the palace, which always makes people feel a little depressed, which Qiu'er is the most obvious, she doesn't like to enter the palace the most. But I'm just a little girl, what can I do?

And the young lady said that she has to get used to the rules of the palace, does this mean? It's Linggui, walking in a serious way, very magnificent.

I can't allow Qiu'er to think about it, the palace is already in front of her, and they will pass quickly after handing over the name card. The carriage can also walk in the palace for a while, but after the noon temple gate, you can't go in again, you have to rely on your own 11 road to pass.

What is surprising is that today I actually met Concubine Ning Guifei in the palace, this woman who is only one step away from the queen's position is as arrogant as ever. Seeing that Yan Hui was instead standing in front of her and looking down at the road,

"Miss Yan, why did you come to the palace today?"

Xiaoluo swallowed her saliva and laughed silently in her heart, she wanted to step forward to relieve her mother's siege. Gong grabbed her with a hand.

"I've seen Concubine Ning!" Yan Hui was very thoughtful, and the two followed behind Yan Hui and saluted in turn.

"When did Miss Hui become so courteous now?" Ning Guifei said provocatively.

Speaking of Ning Guifei's grace, it is unparalleled, but in just one year, she was promoted from a noble person to a concubine, and was promoted to the position of a noble concubine after giving birth to two sons and a daughter in a row. Moreover, Ning Guifei's temperament is not arrogant or dry, and she is low-key, which has won the praise of all the concubines in the palace. It's just that I don't know why this is the case for Yan Hui.

"Is there something wrong with the concubine?" Yan Hui didn't want to talk to her much.

But this is the home of the concubine, and she wants to have a good chat with Yan Hui.

"It's okay, I haven't seen her for many years, but I don't want Sister Hui to come out, I'm just going to see you." said it was fine, but the pestle was in the middle of the road and just didn't go. And her concubine's guard of honor is so huge, even if Yan Hui wants to walk sideways, it is a little difficult.

"To be honest, I don't want to see you!" Sure enough, Yan Hui is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"I don't believe that the emperor can still protect you!" Ning Guifei's voice was not high, but the words pierced Yan Hui's ears like needles.

"My dignified concubine of the Taishi Mansion, do I still need others to maintain it?" Yan Hui shook the hem of her clothes. The saber rattling, the battlefield without gunpowder smoke rises at the touch of a touch.

Both of them were looking at each other, and there was no trace of anger in them. But the subtle aura between the two told everyone on the scene: they were quarreling!

In the distance, there is a small sedan chair walking towards this side!

"Guifei Niangniang, someone is looking for you!" Xiaoluo stepped forward to help Yanhui, and said in a humble tone.

Ning Guifei's long eyelashes on her big black eyes didn't turn a moment, staring straight at Yan Hui without speaking.

"Mother!"

A sweet voice sounded, and there was a pair of black eyes on the delicate white face.

Ning Guifei put away her fierce expression, turned her head and asked gently,

"Zhaoning, how did you get here?"

"Has the concubine forgotten? My grandmother asked me to go to Shoukang Palace today, and my chess brother just invited me to go with me. ”

Zhaoqi? Xiaoluo's heart slipped in an instant.

Lin Zhaoning, the eldest daughter of the current emperor, is said to have been very favored when Ning Guifei was still Concubine Wu, and was named Concubine Ning after giving birth to her, and she was also named Lin Zhaoning in order to show her favor to Ning Guifei.

Probably every time she saw her daughter, Concubine Ning could recall that the emperor at that time was not the emperor, but her husband.

Ning Guifei squinted at Yan Hui, who was still standing there, what else did she have to worry about her? There are sons and daughters, and what about her? So far, although there are so-called earth-shattering things, she is not relying on her family to survive well, if it weren't for Yanfu, she is afraid that she will not have a place to stay.

Thinking of this, she felt a trace of happiness all over her body! A feeling of exhilarating from head to toe.

Her heart was even more proud. However, they settle the grievances between them by themselves, and have nothing to do with their daughter, and she doesn't want her daughter to know much about her past.

"Even if you go to the ancestor, go quickly, don't be mistaken."

Zhao Ning's eyes turned to Xiaoluo's side and asked, "Mother, who are they?" ”

Yes, who are they? Lin Zhaoning in her bones has absolute and high supreme imperial power, which is enough to make her look down on all beings. This made Yan Hui feel very uncomfortable when she heard it, and she couldn't help but glance at her. And this glance made Ning Guifei have a sense of victory.

"I've seen Princess Changxing!" Gong saluted. As a housekeeper of Yanfu for so many years, she has dealt with the family in the capital and the people in the palace, others can pretend not to know, but she can't.

Yan Hui and Xiaoluo greeted each other slightly.

"It turned out to be the prince of the Chengen Mansion." Princess Changxing didn't care about the small section, and she didn't care about Yan Hui and Xiaoluo, who didn't specifically ask An to salute.

"Mrs. Shizi is going to Shoukang Palace?" Princess Changxing thought and said, "I heard Zhaoqi say that someone from Grandmother's Foreign Mansion will come over, so it must be Mrs. You." ”
