Chapter 22: Entering the Palace
As soon as the sky was white, Qiu Tian had already walked out of the room dressed up, and bumped into Qiu Jibei, who was waiting in the yard early, "Starling, why are you so early?" ”
"Xiao Jiu, you don't even bring spring tea, you enter the palace alone......" Qiu Jibei looked at Qiu Tian uneasily, Qiu Tian looked at Qiu Jibei with a melancholy face, "Starling!" Didn't I enter the palace as I always did? What's more, the queen mother in the palace will definitely take care of me......"
"It's different!" Qiu Jibei and Qiu Tian walked out of the courtyard side by side, and said in a low voice: "In the past, the queen mother announced that you entered the palace to relieve fatigue, but now His Majesty specially announced his father, let his father ask the queen to give the queen mother, and let the queen mother announce you into the palace, isn't this going around in circles, who knows if there is a fraud?" ”
"Starling! You say so, but Your Majesty wants to slander our family? ”
"Xiao Jiu! I'm telling you now, seriously, not kidding! Qiu Jibei changed her hippie smile in the past, and at this moment she was reprimanding her with a strong face, she pursed her lips, "Huh...... Got it! ”
"Why don't I ask my father to ask the queen mother for a message, and let me accompany you in the palace?" Qiu Jibei made up his mind and looked at Qiu Tian firmly, and Qiu Tian couldn't help but look at Qiu Jibei's determined appearance with a smile.
But the two talked too seriously, and they didn't know that Qiu Baitu, who was dressed in dark blue clothes and slightly embarrassed, was behind him.
"Bastard!" Qiu Baitu shouted angrily, he slept in the study last night, but he got up late and almost couldn't catch up with Qiu Tian to leave home, he was out of breath to catch up, and he heard Qiu Jibei's words that lost his head.
The two of them heard Qiu Baitu's angry voice behind them, and when they turned around, they saw Qiu Baitu, who had changed from his previous neat appearance, and shouted in unison: "Big brother! ”
But Qiu Baitu didn't pay attention to this, but raised his leg and pushed it directly to Qiu Jibei, and said angrily: "Qiu Jibei, you have the courage to grow hair, right?" ”
"Big brother! You...... You ......" Qiu Jibei hurriedly turned sideways to avoid Qiu Baitu's foot, "Big brother, aren't you worried that Xiao Jiu is alone in the palace?" ”
Qiu Baitu gritted his teeth, he learned that she ran away from home and rushed back from the ancestral house for a day and a night, and now he is alone in the palace that eats people and does not spit out bones, how can he not worry about this rampaging sister.
"The harem is His Majesty's backyard, and you want a man to go in, I'm afraid you want to take off your head and let the Qiu family be buried together?" Qiu Baitu flicked his sleeves and stared at Qiu Jibei, and then glanced at Qiu Tian, who was wearing a cotton jacket intertwined with orange and pink, and couldn't help but look back seriously.
The satin surface of the cotton jacket interwoven with orange and pink is embroidered with small flowers that grow towards the sun, although it lacks the elegance of Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, but it has a tenacity to survive in adversity.
Under the small padded jacket is matched with a horse-faced skirt of the same color but different lines, with her movements and refracting the light, sparkling, it seems that the whole person is very playful and energetic, and the eyebrows are heroic but there are a pair of strange big eyes, and the eyes are full of radiant light, as always confident......
The facial features of the logo are matched with simple makeup and entering the palace, especially the combed bun, the bun is inserted with jade flowing gold tassel hairpins and other red and green gemstone embellished with inlaid flowers, this set of hair accessories is his birthday gift from her seventh birthday, but it is also this set of birthday gifts that made her and him, the two gradually drifted apart.
Since he was a child, he has received Dun Dun's teachings from his father's ear, as well as the teachings of the eldest lady to him, so he cares about Xiao Jiu more than anyone else, but this set of hair accessories was found to her by spending means and a lot of money, but she didn't cherish taking one of the flowers to the pawn shop to exchange money, and went to the restaurant to fight wine and tea with others, not only did he lose the nobility of everyone's ladies, but even his mind was pawned by her.
Even though he redeemed Hua Tian and asked his subordinates to return it to her, he never had a heart-to-heart with her again. He thought that this hair ornament had already been pawned by her, after all, she was still a year away from reaching the age of the queen, and the hair ornament given by her father and the queen mother was already much more expensive than this hair ornament.
"Little Jiu!" Qiu Baitu looked at Qiu Tian and smiled at him, and in a trance, he seemed to have returned to his childhood, Qiu Tian who pestered him and called his brother with milky voices.
"Big brother! What's wrong? Qiu Tian blinked her eyes and looked at Qiu Baitu with a smile, she found that his was now on her hair ornament, "Big brother!" You also like this hair accessory? ”
Qiu Baitu nodded, "Hmm! ”
"Xiao Jiu, why are you wearing this hair ornament today......" Qiu Baitu just noticed that he was talking a lot when he asked halfway, but Qiu Tian smiled heartily, "Because this is a treasure that I have treasured for a long time, I want to enter the palace This kind of scene should be more solemn!" ”
Qiu Tian also inadvertently turned out this set of hair accessories on the jewelry cabinet of the original owner, this set of hair accessories was neatly placed on the small pear blossom wooden box, and the wooden box was finely carved and molded, she thought this was a good thing treasured by the original owner!
It just so happened that a few days ago, this set of orange and pink new clothes sent complemented each other with this hair ornament, and she wore it to the palace to support the scene, after all, she was the queen's niece, and no matter how depressed she was, she couldn't lose the queen's face.
Qiu Baitu carefully recalled Qiu Tian's words, but Qiu Tian was urged by his grandmother, so he saluted Qiu Baitu, and hurriedly walked out with his little skirt, while watching Qiu Jibei watch Qiu Tian leave, "Big brother!" Xiao Jiu, everything you send is precious, but it's just ......"
"Just?" Qiu Baitu's brows furrowed suddenly, and suddenly seemed to think of something, staring at Qiu Jibei intently, "Did you coerce and lure Xiao Jiu to take this set of hair accessories?" ”
Qiu Jibei was shocked in his heart, and found that he had leaked his mouth, so he hurriedly covered his mouth and shook his head, "Woo woo..."
"Speak!"
Qiu Jibei's eyebrows twisted into a "well" character, "Big brother, don't force me to do it!" I promised Xiao Jiu not to say it, if I did, I would ......"
He looked at Qiu Baitu's increasingly gloomy face, and hurriedly turned around and shouted as he ran: "Big brother, you have to understand that Xiao Jiu is all for you, she has kept everything you give Xiao Jiu, this set of hair accessories is purely accidental......"
Qiu Baitu frowned unhappily, "I'll find out." ”
He thought that if his father hadn't sent him to his ancestral house to be trained in a private school; If it weren't for the fact that he studied abroad and did business for three years; If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Jiu was still young at that time, he couldn't go to private school with him; If it weren't for the old seven and eight who were messing around with Xiao Jiu...... If it weren't for all this, Xiao Jiu and him would not have drifted apart.
If he is beside Xiao Jiu Dun teaching, Xiao Jiu will inevitably be as proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea as Miss Zhao Jia'er, with a pure and virtuous personality, and become an example for the nobles of Kyoto to learn.
Thinking of this, Qiu Baitu gritted his teeth angrily, and finally sighed helplessly and went back to the study, while Mrs. Qiu, who had been peeping not far away, tightly twisted her handkerchief.
She finally got out of it, and finally sent her son to the ancestral house to go to private school, and finally got rid of Qiu Tian, the burden that would destroy her son, and finally raised her into a wicked and willful woman who was hated by everyone in the city.
Now, what is almost in hand, how can she let it go.
"Madame! It's cold, let's go back to the hospital! Mama Cui, who was beside Mrs. Qiu, lowered her eyebrows and said with concern, and Mrs. Qiu glanced at her son again and turned back to the courtyard.
On the other hand, Qiu Tian kept knocking on the soft bag of the carriage on the carriage, dozing off in a daze, until the carriage stopped after entering the palace gate, the door was pushed open, and a biting cold wind blew into the carriage, and the cold wind woke Qiu Tian up.
She opened her eyes slowly, looking outside the door at the well-dressed Imperial Guards in thick winter clothes standing straight, she sniffled out of the carriage and glanced at the crimson city wall standing in front of her, the original yellow glazed tiles were now covered in thick white snow.
The crimson palace wall revealed the imperial power of not being angry, and the indifferent expression of the Imperial Forest Army made Qiu Tian's heart suddenly tighten, and she was sent to answer Qiu Tian early Mama Zhao bowed to Qiu Tian, "Miss Qiu Jiu, you are finally here." The old slave is waiting for you here and leading you into the palace......"
Although Qiu Tian has never entered the backyard of the deep palace, since the original owner's body has a memory, he basically has to attack a small residence once in three or four months, and he has to enter the palace once in two or three months to participate in the palace banquet.
So she is not nervous or worried that she will not know the court etiquette, let alone worry about her own shame, or that she will lose her head because she has made those masters unhappy because of her words, but the impression of the emperor in her memory is always vague, as if she has seen it, and it seems that she has not seen it......
"Hard work, Mama Zhao came to pick it up!" Qiu Tian smiled back, and Mama Zhao nodded, thinking: Master, let me look down on this yellow-haired girl......
But Qiu Tian looked at Mama Zhao who was secretly happy, her face was still pale, but she quickly found this Mama Zhao who was unknown but had served by the side of the popular concubine for more than ten years from the memory of the original owner.
Mama Zhao, although she is not Concubine Zhao's personal grandmother, so she cannot be seen in many public occasions, listening to the queen's mother's side Mama Li said that this person was in the year when Concubine Zhao was framed to seize Concubine Zhao's inner hall, and she was guarding Zhao Mama to death, and Concubine Zhao deliberately left her in the courtyard of the inner hall to take care of her in order to avoid the emperor's attention to Mama Zhao, but her status has the treatment of a personal grandmother.
Now, Concubine Zhao is afraid that she is in a panic, and she actually put the idea on her head, and the clear-eyed person sees that Concubine Zhao also loves Qiu Tian, but in her opinion, she is afraid that she is going to use her "stupidity" to live a nestish affair for the queen.
Thinking of this, Qiu Tian couldn't help but shake her head, but found that Mama Zhao looked at her and hurriedly showed a pug-like smile and said, "Mama, is Niangniang healthy today?" What's the mood? ”
