Chapter 20: Entering the Palace for a Family Banquet

Early the next morning, her mother came to wake her up, because she was too tired yesterday Sheng Zhiyao missed the time to wake up from the alarm clock, and when she heard her mother calling her outside the house when she was sleepy, she rushed out of the villa with an exclamation.

Qi Xinyue opened the door just in time to see her slipping and falling to the ground, and her tears were about to come out of her tears: "Mother." ”

Qi Xinyue looked distressed when she saw her baby daughter fall to the ground, and quickly hugged her: "Did it hurt?" ”

Sheng Zhiyao looked at her mother who cared about her and grinned: "There is a little pain." “

Qi Xinyue put her back on the bed, helped her rub the painful place, and said apologetically: "Your grandfather told me before that I wanted me not to go directly into your room when you were sleeping, saying that you are easy to be scared awake when you sleep, and my mother forgot about it in a hurry." ”

Sheng Zhiyao nodded, still grandpa was thoughtful, knowing that I would definitely not sleep in the house, so he simply helped her find an excuse to not let them in directly.

"It's all right, Mother." She arched into Qi Xinyue's arms and sprinkled a coquettish, and Qi Xinyue gently touched her hair.

has not been by her side for so many years, in fact, Qi Xinyue is also guilty, and her heart tightened just now when she saw her fall to the ground.

"Alright, it's time to get up, the carriage is already waiting outside."

Sheng Zhiyao nodded, and Mei Lan Zhuju came in to serve her to change clothes and wash.

After dressing up, Sheng Zhiyao came to the carriage accompanied by her mother.

"Far away, listen to grandpa's words and remember to follow the rules." Qi Xinyue carried Sheng Zhiyao into the carriage and didn't forget to tell her.

"Alright, it's time to go." Old Marquis Sheng's voice came from the carriage, and Qi Xinyue hurriedly retreated to the side.

The carriage drove all the way, and it took about a stick of incense to reach the gate of the palace, and the old marquis Sheng got out of the car first, and Sheng Zhiyao jumped down with his little short legs.

At this time, Gonggong Cui walked out of the palace gate and looked at the grandfather and grandson with a smile: "Old marquis, Your Majesty asked me to pick up the two." ”

"Humph! It's not like I won't go. The old marquis looked impatient, Originally, His Majesty only Xuan Sheng Zhiyao entered the palace alone, but he was afraid that his granddaughter would be wronged in the palace, so he proposed to come together.

"Old marquis, the county lord is here, please." Gonggong Cui didn't care about Old Marquis Sheng's attitude at all, he just smiled.

The high walls of the deep palace were silent, and the palace maids and eunuchs who walked by saluted them, but there was no sound.

Sheng Zhiyao's little eyes rolled, this was a place she had never seen before, both majestic and curious.

"Didn't you go to Your Majesty?" Old Marquis Sheng watched curiously, and Gonggong Cui led them to the harem.

Gonggong Cui smiled slightly: "Back to the old marquis, Your Majesty is waiting in the queen's palace." ”

The Purple Phoenix Hall is the residence of the current empress, and when they walked to the door of the palace, they heard the emperor's voice coming: "It's far away, come quickly." ”

Sheng Zhiyao followed the sound and looked at it, and saw the emperor sitting in the hall, and there was a graceful and luxurious woman sitting beside her, although she was older, her skin was well maintained, and the phoenix hairpin on her head showed her identity, and the woman saw her with a loving face, and smiled softly at Sheng Zhiyao.

Old Marquis Sheng took her to the hall and knelt on her knees: "Minister, Sheng Lixin see His Majesty the Emperor, the Empress." ”

Sheng Zhiyao listened to what the old marquis said, and then said: "Lord Yongchen, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen Mother. ”

"Get up." His Majesty the Emperor was very happy to see Sheng Zhiyao, and the queen beside him was also very happy.

"Far away, come, come, come to the imperial grandmother." The Empress shifted her position, leaving a place between her and His Majesty the Emperor that could accommodate Sheng Zhiyao.

Sheng Zhiyao stepped forward but didn't dare to sit down, looked back at his grandfather, and only then picked up the hem of his skirt and sat on it with his approval, and his little feet were still dangling because he couldn't reach the ground.

"Zhiyao is so cute, and your grandmother looks like the truth." The queen touched her fleshy face and sighed.

"Grandma?"

"Yes, I am close friends with your grandmother, you are her granddaughter, since you are my granddaughter, you will call me Imperial Grandma in the future."

"Grandma Huang?" Sheng Zhiyao shouted in her soft and cute voice, and the queen was overjoyed.

"My good granddaughter, grandma has nothing to give you, so I'll give you this as a meeting gift." The queen beckoned to the grandmother behind her, and she walked up with a jewelry box.

"Although this jade bracelet is not the best jade, it is a memorial to me and your grandmother." The queen picked up the bracelet and wiped it carefully, as if she remembered some old things.

Sheng Zhiyao raised his small hand to reveal another bracelet: "Is this what Grandma Huang said?" ”

The queen looked at the old marquis Sheng in surprise when she saw the bracelet on her hand: "This is Yuxian's one?" ”

Old Marquis Sheng nodded.

The queen mother was very happy, when she was unmarried, she and Yuxian had said that if both of them gave birth to daughters, they would give them the bracelet as a continuation of their friendship, but after getting married, Yuxian and she did not get their wish, she didn't even have a sister-in-law, until the emperor came back that day and told her that the Sheng family had given birth to a girl, and she immediately remembered this bracelet.

Now that she finally saw Sheng Zhiyao, she asked Mama to take out the jewelry.

"Grandma Xie Huang's reward, I like it very much, so it's a pair." Sheng Zhiyao looked at the bracelet on his hand and liked it very much.

The queen saw Sheng Zhiyao so happy and laughed.

"Grandma Huang, I don't have anything of value for you, why don't I make lunch for the two of you?"

The emperor was a little surprised that such a small baby could cook: "Oh? Can you also cook? ”

"Of course, why don't you try it?" Sheng Zhiyao raised her chin arrogantly and looked confident.

At this time, Grandpa Cui's voice suddenly remembered: "Concubine Qi has arrived." ”

Sheng Zhiyao heard the voice and turned around and saw a woman walking over with small steps: "The concubine has seen Your Majesty, and she has seen the Queen Mother." ”

Concubine Qi stood up without waiting for the queen to speak: "Yo, it's so lively today, Old Marquis Sheng is also here." ”

"Minister, see Qi Guifei Niangniang." Old Marquis Sheng has always disliked the people of the Qi family, but the etiquette that should be had as a courtier of His Majesty cannot be abolished.

"Get up, I heard that Your Majesty and the queen have a family banquet today, and invite the lord of Yongchen, I thought about coming over and seeing, the mother won't blame, right?" After Qi Guifei finished speaking, she turned her eyes to Sheng Zhiyao, and Sheng Zhiyao looked at her neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Qi Guifei was a little surprised in her heart, the little baby actually dared to look at her, and sure enough, she had the same virtue as her grandfather.

"Sit down since you're here, I'm going to make us lunch."

Qi Guifei was a little surprised, the daughter of the Hou Mansion actually knew how to cook, and it was really something that some small families did: "That concubine came at the right time, and she happened to be a little hungry." ”

Sheng Zhiyao felt very disliked when she looked at Qi Guifei's appearance, and at home, Mama Li also popularized the current royal family tree with her.

Qi Guifei is the biological mother of the second prince, and the second prince has two sons, the son-in-law Feng Yuanqing and the concubine Feng Yuanchen.

And the queen's sister-in-law was young, and she has never been pregnant, but fortunately, Her Majesty and her are married and have always been pampered.

Qi Guifei sat firmly in her current position because of her mother's power and the raising of an adult prince, and she thought that she had the emperor's love and was against the queen mother everywhere.

Sheng Zhiyao knew that the queen was displeased, so he said to her: "Grandma Huang, where is the kitchen?" I'm going to do it for both of you right now. ”
