This is the main hall of Cining Palace, which is not only magnificent and atmospheric, but also has a calm inside.

Walk through the main hall and enter the side hall.

The Empress Dowager was sitting cross-legged on the kang, looking at a Buddhist scripture in her hand by the light outside the window.

After the Tang family took Yang Mu to salute, the Empress Dowager put down the Buddhist scriptures, looked at Yang Mu with some cloudy eyes, looked up and down for a moment, and found that this girl was not afraid of herself, so she couldn't help but ask slowly: "Sister Mu, this is the first time to enter the palace, right?" ”

Yang Mu nodded and said, "First time." ”

The Empress Dowager became even more curious and asked, "I heard that you grew up in the countryside?" ”

Yang Mu didn't feel ashamed of growing up in the countryside, and still nodded and admitted.

The Empress Dowager looked at Yang Mu with some incomprehension, "Can someone talk about this?" ”

Is it because I grew up in the countryside and has no knowledge, so I don't know how to be scared when I see myself?

Yang Mu said with a smile: "There is nothing wrong with growing up in the countryside, courtiers can adapt to life in the city, but people in the city can't survive in the countryside, after all, they can't even tell the difference between rice and wheat." ”

The Empress Dowager was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly laughed, a little girl with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth.

Tang smiled embarrassedly and said, "Empress Dowager, Sister Mu has been unrestrained since she was a child, and she is not very good at replying." ”

According to the status of the Protector Mansion, as long as Yang Mu doesn't say anything rebellious, the Empress Dowager will not deal with a little girl of the Yang family, so she is not afraid.

The Empress Dowager was really not angry, but asked the old lady to bring a small box, handed it to Yang Mu, and said: "This hairpin is still my mother's dowry for me, I am too old to wear it, I will reward you!" ”

Yang Mu opened the small box, and inside was a hairpin inlaid with pearls, the pearls were very large and the color was also very good.

The Empress Dowager continued: "It's a make-up for you! ”

Tang Shi hurriedly said: "Sister Mu'er's little child's family, where can you wear such a valuable hairpin?" ”

Yang Mu bent his knees and said, "Thank you Empress Dowager!" ”

The Empress Dowager's smile deepened and said, "See?" This kid loves it! ”

Tang blushed rarely.

Coming out of the Empress Dowager, still led by the eunuch surnamed Mao, several people walked through the door and into the backyard.

As soon as I entered the backyard, I heard the sound of rattles.

When I entered the room, I saw a woman in her early twenties, dressed in palace clothes, whispering softly coaxing the baby in the nurse's arms, and holding a rattle in her hand to shake it.

Eunuch Mao said: "Niangniang, Mrs. Shizi and Miss Yang are here." ”

Concubine Shu turned back in surprise, and when she saw Tang's mother and daughter, her eyes instantly turned red.

Tang is Yang Yi's sister-in-law, Yang Yi is the youngest daughter, when Tang just married into the Yang family, she was only a few years old, and the two have lived together in the Yang family for more than ten years, and the relationship is very good.

Yang Yi rushed over in a few steps, stopped Tang's salute, and cried and threw herself into Tang's arms.

A middle-aged female official ordered the nurse to take the child out, and then reminded Yang Yi: "Niangniang, this is in the palace." ”

No crying is allowed in the palace, especially when the concubine sees her mother's family, and she is not allowed to cry.

It's just that the rules are like this, but there are not many people who abide by them, the kind of life that has been suppressed in the palace all the year round, and suddenly seeing the grievances of the family, almost no one can control it.

Especially Yang Yi and the child, they are very embarrassing in this palace, if it weren't for the protection of the Queen Mother, I am afraid that the two of them would have died no less than a hundred times.

escaped death several times, which made this woman who was widowed at a young age even more aggrieved.

Tang patted Yang Yi in his arms and said, "Niangniang, don't cry, didn't the courtiers bring Sister Mu to see you?" ”

Only then did Yang Yi remember that there was a niece who hurriedly came out of Tang's arms, cleaned up her emotions, wiped away her tears, and looked Yang Mu up and down.

"This is Sister Mu? It's so handsome! ”

Yang Mu smiled and thought to himself, it seems that the people in the palace praise people are all one word.

Yang Yi said to the female official: "Hurry up and serve tea." As he spoke, he pulled Tang and Yang Mu to sit down.

The female officer smiled and ordered someone to serve tea.

Yang Yi is in her early twenties and is a very beautiful woman, but because she is widowed, she can only dress elegantly, and even her jewelry is very ordinary.

Yang Mu took the pastry box out and said, "This is made by the courtiers themselves, and the mother will try it." ”

Yang Yi looked at the cake and asked curiously what it was made of, and if children could eat it.

After Yang Mu finished answering one by one, Yang Yi tasted it and said it was delicious.

After eating a piece of cake, Yang Yi obviously had something to say to the Tang family, so he said to Yang Mu: "The garden of Cining Palace is very big, there is a big swing, you children like to play." ”

She instructed the female officer to take Yang Mu to the swing.

Yang Mu didn't stay, got up and went with the female officer.

Tang asked, "Is the mother in good health?" How is Your Highness? ”

Yang Yi nodded lightly, retreated left and right, and told her recent situation.

Recently, because she moved to Cining Palace, the Queen Mother of East and West has no way to take her, so she is safe for the time being.

The body has been recuperated by the Tai Yi and is also very healthy.

Tang breathed a sigh of relief, it was not easy to live in the palace, especially the birth of His Royal Highness, which blocked the way of too many people.

Yang Yi's eyes were red and said, "Sister-in-law, can you ...... Talk to my father, and let our mother and son go to the fiefdom. ”

Yang Yi's child Li You is the widow of the former Emperor Xibao, and after Li You was born, some people wanted to support Li You as the prince.

The Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces and the Empress Dowager of the Empress Dowager made the first move, canonized Li You as the king of Jing, and fiefdom Jinan.

The Tang family didn't understand the affairs of the court, so they could only say that they would take Yang Yi's idea home.

Yang Yi wiped her crying red eyes, pitiful, showing the difficulties of the harem.

Tang's heart relented, and he also shed a few tears.

Yang Mu was down-to-earth in the back garden to enjoy the flowers and swing, and it wasn't until half an hour later that the Tang family came to her, saying that it was time to leave the palace.

The two of them went out of Cining Palace with Mrs. Bao, and saw a little palace maid waiting at the door, and when they saw the three of them, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Mrs. Shizi, Miss Yang, summoned by the Empress Dowager."

After the mother and daughter glanced at each other, they looked at Mrs. Bao at the same time.

Mrs. Bao nodded and said, "Lead the way." ”

The little palace maid led the way first and went all the way to Shoukang Palace.

Compared with the magnificent atmosphere of Cining Palace, Shoukang Palace is rich and elegant.

The imperial concubine is over half a hundred years old, but she is very well maintained, and she looks like she is only in her early forties.

Compared with the kindness of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager Wang's eyes were sharp and scrutinizing.

Yang Mu, the woman who took on the role of Yang Lin's two families alone, made the imperial concubine very curious.

Fortunately, Mrs. Bao mediated it, and she didn't make a storm, but just rewarded some things.

When he was in Cining Palace, only Yang Mu was blasted out to visit the garden, while Shoukang Palace was blasted out of Tang's mother and daughter.

The mother and daughter had nothing to do in the back garden, and Mrs. Bao and the queen concubine chatted happily in the dormitory.

When the mother and daughter were invited back again, the Empress Dowager obviously had a better attitude towards Yang Mu.
