In the blink of an eye, it has begun winter, the east wind has stopped, but the day is cold day by day, like holding a goose feather heavy snow, the stove is lit for twelve hours in the house but it is only better than nothing, but I think that the smoke pavilion must be "warm as spring".

After the last time Mama Xu came over to "mention" in person, Zhou Lingqing finally let go of the "prejudice" that there was no reason for Ruyan Pavilion, and often visited Ruyan Pavilion when he returned home.

Speaking of which, I am still very puzzled - Zhou Lingqing was like smoke to others, and he was really afraid of freezing in the palm of his hand in the past, and he was afraid of melting in his mouth, why did people turn the sky upside down once they had a baby? Co-authoring can only be a dewy mandarin duck, and cannot be implicated by blood?

But my doubts are honest, I can't keep up with current events, because people are like glue now.

This incident caused the whole Manchu to be very dissatisfied - of course, the Manchu Mansion except for Mama Xu.

Xiao Wang Xiao Wu Xiao Qiao felt that he had entered hell from heaven the most, Xiao Jiu followed, Zi Feng, well, Zi Feng fell down. After getting up early and going to the Ruyan Pavilion to "serve" for a while, she suddenly came back one day - and carried a bag of herbs that I asked Xiao Jiu to buy.

"How are you? At this hour, it should be in the Smoke Pavilion! ”

I took it over and asked.

"I don't have to go again—"

What's the matter, do you think you're not serving you well?

"I used to go to Ruyan Pavilion on behalf of the prince, but now that the prince is so diligent, wouldn't it be more dazzling than the sun when I am next to me?" She pulled the cuff belt and said, "Besides, there will be distinguished guests in the mansion in the near future, and I want to stay for one night, the prince is afraid that you will not be busy, so he dialed me back to help you..."

Anyway, I am also the "hostess" who has sacrificed to my ancestors, and there is such a distinguished guest who wants to work and mobilize the people, but I don't know? I don't know, forget it, even Xiao Jiu couldn't eat melons at the forefront this time?

"Where did you hear that?" I asked, putting down the bucket in my hand.

"The prince came back from the next dynasty today and went directly to Ruyan Pavilion, he just said it himself-"

"And who is the guest?"

"I didn't elaborate—"

The secrecy was really guaranteed, and it wasn't until the "distinguished guest" came to the door two days later that I didn't know who it was.

Well, more than one.

Sitting on the main seat in the hall is the queen mother who has changed the dress of ordinary people, she only combed a simple ordinary bun, but the jasper dragon and phoenix hairpin pinned to the sideburns and the white jade eight immortal pattern bracelet on the wrist show dignity everywhere, and a plain robe wrapped in a mink coat is even warmer and better-looking.

Standing next to her is the "new" concubine Niangniang, she combed Chaoyun near the incense bun, only fell a delicate jade step, and then there is no other whitewash, Xu is too plain, the face is particularly eye-catching, only to see the exposed cheeks The delicate blow bomb can be broken, under the straight nose bridge, the lips are like cherry blossoms flashing, and a Liuxian skirt with an elegant light pink inner collar is both noble and mysterious.

Their arrival caught people off guard.

"When I didn't want to see you again, you were already the princess of King Ling-" The Queen Mother hugged the hand stove tightly, but her voice was still trembling.

Isn't it good to stay in the palace on this cold day?

"It's all borrowed from the Queen Mother's auspicious words, how can Le Ming be virtuous?" It's not modest, it's really consciously that you can't serve these ancestors in the house!

"Princess Ling is used to being humble," the concubine Niangniang liked to answer the call, she half-squatted down after speaking, leaned over to the queen mother's ear, and whispered, "I just don't know how long I haven't washed, and I'm really embarrassed to dress like this..."

If you want to whisper, you really whisper, your whisper is really a "whisper" that resounds through the hall.

The girl standing on the side almost held back her internal injuries by holding back her laughter. Only Xiao Jiu had a little conscience, and he took out a small bronze mirror out of nowhere and presented it.

I looked at my face, which was black and gray in the bronze mirror, and suddenly greeted the eighteenth generation of Zhou Lingqing's ancestors in my heart! - It was he who said that the VIP must be informed before his visit, so that I can prepare in advance! I just want to ask who I will give it to?

People came so unexpectedly, before this, I was grinding the beauty stone jade paste, it must be that the jade paste paste is black, and the grinding process accidentally got on my face! That's where the big ugliness comes in!

"The queen mother didn't know, a few days ago, the cold wind was blowing, and many little girls in the house had thick cheeks on their faces, and even worse, they all had chilblains, and the concubines had nothing to do to grind some plasters to divide the big guys, this is not a coincidence, they were grinding, and they said that you were here, and the concubines were in a hurry to take over, so they didn't pay attention to so much-" I reported it truthfully.

"The mourning family came to visit suddenly, and no one knew in advance, you didn't prepare, so naturally I don't blame you," the Queen Mother was very considerate, and then became interested in my beauty stone and jade ointment, "Grinding beauty ointment?" The mourning family has never heard of such a strange thing—it's just that, since you're here today, let's take a look at your garden, and you'll take the mourning family around, and you let the concubine take the concubine to settle down first—"

Are you going to walk with me alone?

"Qingyi Garden has already been prepared, and the concubine will let people bring the concubine to live——"

I hurriedly called Zifeng to come in, wanting to entrust her with the errand.

Who knew that she had already been petrified at the door, and I suddenly - she seemed to be seeing Xu Yingying for the first time.

Fortunately, there is a reliable Xiao Jiu, she tugged on Zifeng's sleeve and reminded her again and again, Zifeng came back to her senses and stepped forward to receive her life.

Although the Lingwang Mansion is not as good as the palace, it takes a stick of incense to walk from the front door to the Xinyuan, so I put forward my opinion while holding the queen mother, I said that the weather is cold and the road is far away, why don't we take a soft sedan car to Xinyuan?

As a result, she was rejected by the Queen Mother, she said that you didn't say you wanted to move around more in the past, why are you lazy today?

Attack me with me?

I nodded curtly, and just like that, we walked for a quarter of an hour in the cold wind before we walked to Xinyuan - I walked a stick of incense by myself, and with the "blessing" of the Queen Mother, the time was naturally longer.

The Queen Mother couldn't get up when she sat on the chair behind the small desk in my room, but her hands were not idle, she kept looking at everything in front of her, and praised her mouth, "Your cottage is well tied, divided into two from the middle, one side is on the couch, one side can be used as a small study, and a chair is placed in the middle, usually there are sisters here, and they can also sit and talk—but, a capable princess like you, Prince Ling is reluctant to buy a study for you?" ”

Don't mention it, he will only say that it is more than enough for you to put ten in this king's study!

"Where is there a need for such seriousness, the concubine is just idle to have fun-" I smiled back, and served hot tea.

"Even so, Qing'er is blessed to have a confidant 'doctor' by her side—" She reached out and took the teacup, pinching the lid and floating the tea.

I didn't even realize for a moment who the "Qing'er" in her mouth was - in fact, I had never heard anyone call Zhou Lingqing's nickname.

I raised my head a little unexpectedly, and saw the Queen Mother sitting behind the table and drinking tea unhurriedly, with a kind and gentle look on her face - she was so calm and calm, and the "cowardly, incompetent, and timid" aunt in Zhou Lingqing's mouth was thousands of miles away from her.

I only heard the queen mother sigh, and then said, "The emperor of the mourning family is not so lucky, his queen has lost her heart and has been locked up in the cold palace for many years, but no matter how the mourning family persuades, he doesn't want to establish a queen again——"

No wonder no one has mentioned the queen, even Xu Yingying has never seen the queen show up that day.

"The concubine is smart and lovely, and with the concubine Niangniang always by the emperor's side to solve problems for the emperor, the emperor can naturally be in a happy mood——"

What's not satisfied, if this "concubine" is Zhou Lingqing's "princess", he will be so happy that he jumps three times in a row.

"Hmph, it's all a fox trick, the mourning family looks down on her, and she didn't even attend the day of Concubine Feng! You see, from ancient times to the present, where is there a precedent for giving the position of a concubine when entering the palace? The mourning family once waited for the first emperor with her sister, and her sister was so favored that it took five years to walk from a small Zhaoyi to the position of a concubine, "The queen mother's words were full of dissatisfaction, but after a moment, she changed her sex, and her face showed an expression similar to relief, "However, this time the emperor is in poor health, and the mourning family wants to go out of the palace to Guohua Temple to fast for a few days, one to pray for the emperor, and the other to ask for the peace of the country, Hui Guifei is positive, and copied the scriptures overnight, saying that she wants to go with the mourning family, and the mourning family saw that she had some sincerity and brought her to - Guohua Temple is only a few miles away from Ling Wang's mansion, I thought about coming to Qing'er's house to have a look and stay for a day. ”

"The courtyard has already been prepared in the house, waiting for the queen mother to come——"

Zhou Lingqing didn't say a word that you were coming, and I didn't know what to keep secret.

"The mourning family didn't want to stir up the people, so they only came out secretly, I'm afraid that Qing'er didn't tell you, so you were so unprepared——"

Oh, this guy is indeed obedient.

The Queen Mother's eyes looked around, a side face, and the afterglow stopped on the group of cabinets behind her, she seemed to be quite interested in the herbs in it, so she opened her mouth and asked me to introduce them one by one - although she couldn't remember a few.

I took the initiative to fill some pills and muscles and bones in a cow paper bag for the queen mother, the old lady seemed to hold some treasure, happily put it in her arms, and then had lunch in Xinyuan, and chatted for a long time before sending her back to Qingyi Garden to take a nap, I took a deep breath - finally retired.

As soon as I stepped out of the garden, I was loosened up by Zifeng.

She suddenly came out from behind the bald tree, her face was very solemn, and her eyes revealed uneasiness, "Have you seen it?" The concubine and... It's like a smoke......"

I'm not blind.

"Yes...... It's a bit like, but the world is always..."

"Nope! I've been watching her in the garden for a long time! It's just that the smoke looks like her, the tea you love to drink, the jasmine you love to order, and the dishes you love to eat are all exactly the same! ”

"Xu ...... Xu is the prince likes... Like smoke, the imitation of ......"

"Nope! The prince only drinks Longjing and Lushan clouds! ”
