The scarlet skirt is full of hibiscus, and the skirt flutters between walks, as if they are all alive, gently swaying in the wind. The rounded pearls on the tips of the shoes flickered between the skirts, and they were half-covered by the lute. It also echoes the pearl on a string of fine tassels hanging down from the bun.

Gu Wanyin nodded with satisfaction, took the silk fan embroidered with hibiscus handed over by Danzhi and held it in her hand, covered her lips and smiled softly and asked, "How is it?" ”

A few girls naturally didn't say anything bad. Danzhi said again: "It's a pity that the princess is too thin, if she is a little plump, she will definitely be more noble and beautiful." ”

Gu Wanyin glanced at Danzhi: "No matter how plump you are, won't you become fat?" People are rich and timid, and I'm already afraid of heat, so forget it. ”

"It's not early, and the old lady must be in order. The princess should go out quickly. Danzhi straightened the hem of her skirt again, and then urged softly.

Gu Wanyin stopped talking, turned around and walked out the door.

The old lady had indeed cleaned up. The dark blue forehead covered the silver hair, the bun was smooth and recognizable, and the clothes with dark patterns embroidered in autumn colors on the body made the whole person look energetic, and there was no sickness in the usual days.

When the old lady saw Gu Wanyin's dress, she was also extremely satisfied, and praised with a smile: "When you wear it like this, it looks like a lot of people, and you should wear it like this at home." When I was younger, I loved to wear these bright colors. After speaking, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly turned his head to Ganlu and said, "I remember that I have a necklace of red coral, you go and bring it to the princess to wear." She is wearing this dress today, and she is just right with that. ”

Manna pursed her lips and smiled, and hurriedly went into the house to rummage around, and after a while, she pulled out a box with gold and inlaid treasures.

When I opened the box, I saw that it was indeed a string of bright red coral with a bright red color and uniform size.

The manna was carefully put on for Gu Wanyin. The old lady looked at it again, and then smiled: "It's really a perfect match." ”

Gu Wanyin also pursed her lips and smiled, and said happily: "I made it today." This coral string. But it's a good thing. ”

The old lady couldn't laugh or cry, "You monkey, it's just that." Anyway, I won't wear it horizontally, so I'll give it to you. ”

"Isn't the old lady distressed?" Gu Wanyin joked with a smile. affectionately grabbed the old lady and walked out: "The old lady doesn't have to feel distressed, what the old lady wants, I will definitely dig out my mind to get it for the old lady." Is this the old lady still at a loss? ”

The old lady laughed out loud: "Didn't you secretly eat honey this morning?" Why is your mouth so sweet? ”

Gu Wanyin glanced at the old lady in surprise: "How did the old lady know?" ”

……

The grandparents and grandchildren talked and laughed all the way into the palace, but they were not bored. After entering the palace, there was a sedan chair waiting at the gate of the palace, and the two were directly carried into the queen mother's palace.

The Queen Mother is still kind and kind, but when she sees the old lady, it is different from when she sees others; Don't wait for the old lady to salute. The Queen Mother laughed: "Get up quickly, you are not in good health now, why are you so polite?" ”

The old lady refused to abolish the rules, and still saluted the Queen Mother respectfully.

The Queen Mother was a little angry and said angrily: "Why are you doing this? ”

The old lady smiled slightly, and looked at the Queen Mother with a little affection: "Etiquette cannot be wasted." ”

"That's it, Yutan, come and sit down." Seeing this, the Queen Mother seemed a little helpless, but the corners of her lips were slightly upturned and she seemed to feel relieved, and her voice was much more gentle and doting than before.

Yutan is the old lady's maiden name, and the old lady listens to the queen mother call her like this. I was a little stunned, as if I remembered the old days. But soon the old lady came back to her senses, smiled and sat down, her demeanor was more respectful than before. It's a little more follow-the-eye.

Although Gu Wanyin lowered her head, she also felt a subtle change in the atmosphere: the Queen Mother's sentence "Jade Sandalwood" immediately shortened the distance between the identities of the two sisters, and the atmosphere softened a lot. All of a sudden, it didn't look like a monarch and a minister, but it felt like a sister.

"Wanyin, you can sit too." When the Queen Mother spoke to Gu Wanyin, she brought a bit of the majesty of the superior, which was not at all as casual as when she was to the old lady.

"Empress Dowager Xie." Gu Wanyin thanked her, and then she dared to sit carefully. Although I only sat down, my body was tense and straight, and it was no more comfortable than standing. However, the Queen Mother gave her a seat, which represents glory and status, not for comfort.

The Queen Mother looked at the old lady again and asked softly, "You haven't been in good health lately, why did you come to the palace at this time?" Okay? Isn't it in the way? ”

The old lady replied with a smile: "When people are old, there will naturally be more diseases. It's not a serious illness, it doesn't matter. How is the Queen Mother doing? Last time, the Queen Mother said that she couldn't sleep well, but now it has improved? ”

"As you said, when people get old, there are more problems. I didn't sleep well anymore. It's good that Yiyè can sleep in the middle of the night. The Queen Mother sighed, as if she was a little embarrassed: "In a blink of an eye, so many years have passed." I'm left with a relative like you. Thinking about these years, it is really as the book says, like the morning dew and autumn glow, but it is just a moment. Marry and have children, and then you get old. ”

The old lady seemed to have some emotion on her face when she heard this. But soon smiled again, and said: "The queen mother's body is well maintained, and now she looks much younger than the concubine's body." ”

One sentence immediately made the Queen Mother laugh. Reaching out and touching her face, the Queen Mother smiled: "No matter how well you maintain it, you will get old day by day." ”

The old lady smiled, but she changed her words and said: "The queen mother has hugged her great-grandson, and I don't know when the concubine will have such a blessing." As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Gu Wanyin.

Gu Wanyin's face turned red, and she hurriedly buried her head lower, and the shyness on her face was obvious.

The Queen Mother glanced at it and laughed: "In the end, I am still newly married, and my face is still tender." Then he said to the old lady, "They are still young, so there is no need to worry." I think it's just a year or two of hard work. You just wait patiently. ”

"I hope so." The old lady nodded noncommittally, and then sighed: "Jing'er's child is also uneasy, although he wrote a letter to his family and came back, but he only had a few words, and he didn't explain anything clearly, which really made people feel unbearable;." ”

"Jing'er is brave." The Queen Mother smiled, "I still remember that when the saint saw him behead the head of the high priest of Miaojiang, he couldn't calm down for several days. What else can go wrong with the one who can defeat the High Priest? In my opinion, Jing'er is not inferior to the king of Zhennan. The Zhou family is loyal and brave, but they are the pillars of the imperial court. ”

The Queen Mother's words were extremely pertinent, and she seemed to be really happy to have a courtier like the Zhou family.

"I'm still young in Shenyong." The old lady sighed: "Jing'er has a good martial arts, just like his father, he has a brute force, but he doesn't know how to be flexible." I don't know how many people I have offended openly and secretly, if it weren't for the protection of the Queen Mother, how many times would have been calculated. ”

When the Queen Mother heard the old lady say this, she immediately nodded: "It's too young." The mind is also a little simpler. Compared with those scheming ministers, they are too immature. The saint also thought about this, so he didn't let him hold an important position, because he was afraid that he would not know if he was young and was calculated. ”

Gu Wanyin's eyes shrank, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of her lips. But there is some sarcasm in my heart: The Queen Mother's words are clearly ruthless and hypocritical.

However, the old lady is only half a catty.

After listening to the Queen Mother's words, the old lady nodded with a smile and looked at the Queen Mother gratefully: "Thank you for being so fond of the Holy One." ”

The Queen Mother smiled, and then said: "However, Jing'er has also matured a lot since she got married, and the Holy Lord asked him to investigate the flood this time, so why didn't he mean to use him?" ”

"He's young, but don't make any mistakes." The old lady's eyes flashed, and she turned worried.

The Queen Mother looked trusting: "You can rest assured that he is doing things safely." How many days have you been there? It's already an eyebrow. If things go well, it won't be long before I'll be back. When the time comes, there will also be promotions and knighthoods. The saint saw the fold yesterday, but he was very happy, and said that he wanted to reward it! ”

Gu Wanyin carefully distinguished what the Queen Mother said, and felt that the Queen Mother was not polite, but it seemed to be true. At that moment, she was also in a good mood, and the corners of her lips curled and she couldn't help laughing.

The old lady was also overjoyed at the moment. But then he seemed to remember something, and said with a smile: "Last time, I heard that the Queen Mother had already made Jing's daughter-in-law's command, Jing's daughter-in-law, don't you want to thank you?" The Queen Mother loves you like this, but you are blessed. ”

When Gu Wanyin heard this, she hurriedly stood up and saluted respectfully: "Concubine, thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother." ”

"It's just a gesture." The Queen Mother smiled slightly, and then instructed the female officer next to her: "Go and ask if the command service is ready?" If it is done, it will be sent to Zhennan Wangfu together in a while. ”

The female official took the order and left, and the queen mother put the matter aside, but suddenly seemed to remember something, and suddenly said: "By the way, Concubine Rong is your aunt?" She's recently pregnant and bored, so go check her out. It's also boring to be with us, and it's good to walk around. The mourning family also happened to talk to the old princess for a while. ”

The Queen Mother is giving an eviction order. Obviously, the Queen Mother didn't want her to hear some words. Gu Wanyin immediately got up and retreated, and then a eunuch led her to the palace of Concubine Rong.

Thinking of Concubine Rong, Gu Wanyin couldn't help frowning-she and Concubine Rong didn't have a good relationship with her, and Concubine Rong wanted her to be a concubine for the fourth prince, and she was even more disgusted with this aunt in her heart.
