The officials entered from the Taihe Gate, and the women entered from the Wuying Gate, and after passing the Que Gate, Xue Pan and Mrs. Xue parted ways.

They arrived early, before the palace gate opened, but the carriages were already parked in front of the palace gate, arranged in an orderly manner.

Xue Shen's family got out of the car to explore the way, and came back to say that he saw the carriage of Jiafu.

Mrs. Xue was quite surprised to meet her old acquaintance in a foreign country, and hurriedly stepped forward to meet her.

Mrs. Wang was imprisoned in the Lucui Nunnery by Jia's mother because of loan sharking, Wang Xifeng just found out that she was pregnant, and among the female dependents, Jia's mother only took Mrs. Xing and Jia Yuanchun's sister-in-law to visit the spring.

Mother Jia was very surprised to see Mrs. Xue, and after listening to Mrs. Xue tell the inside story, she said happily, "The real treasure girl is so promising, she can get the blue eyes of the queen mother, and she can earn such a face for her aunt in a few days after entering the palace to accompany her!" ”

Xue Baobao entered the palace to accompany the Queen Mother Yang, although this matter is not a secret, but it is not publicized everywhere.

Except for Jia Zheng, who received an unimportant position in the Ministry of Industry, the others are all kinds of fancy ways to enjoy life, and they have long been out of touch with the court, and they have not received any news until now.

Mother Jia was angry at Mrs. Xue why she didn't tell herself earlier, and Mrs. Xue smiled, "The Queen Mother's blue eyes are our blessings, but it's not good to publicize them everywhere, so that the Queen Mother hates us frivolous."

Jia Mu smiled and patted Mrs. Xue's hand, "Mrs. Aunt said very well, that is, she should have such a calm and generous attitude."

After entering the palace today, I will take a look and see if I have time to meet Concubine Xiande.

If there is, please ask your aunt and wife to come along, and ask your mother to recognize your relatives."

Mrs. Xue was very surprised and thanked Mother Jia.

Mother Jia said again, "Mrs. Aunt came early, and she has to enter the palace according to her grade today, and Mrs. Aunt is afraid that she will have to wait for a while."

Mrs. Xue hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay to wait a while early, if it's late, it's not good to be disrespectful."

Jia Mu nodded in agreement, "This is also true."

While the two were talking, the carriage of the palace also came.

Mrs. Wang had long known that Xue Baobao was announced to the palace by the Empress Dowager Yang, and during the days when Xue Baobao entered the palace, she often took Wang Xiluan to Xue's house to walk around.

She can speak well, deliberately lowered her figure to make friends with Mrs. Xue, and strictly ordered Wang Xiluan to please Mrs. Xue obediently.

Mrs. Xue is soft-hearted and cares about the brother-sister friendship between her and Wang Ziteng, and after this period of time, her sister-in-law can be regarded as able to maintain a polite harmony.

Only Mrs. Wang didn't know that Xue Fu had received grace and could enter the palace to worship, so she didn't have to ask.

After hearing the reason, he took Xue Baobao's hand and praised him repeatedly, "It's really a blessing for our sister Bao'er, just when your uncle said that he will be able to rush home tomorrow before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and tell him the good news when the time comes, so that he will also be happy and happy."

Xue Baobao, "......"

If she knew that Mrs. Yang had personally come to the door and persuaded Mrs. Xue to give her to the treasure building as a little wife, she would definitely immediately persuade Wang Ziteng to pack her up and send her to the palace!

Mrs. Xue was very surprised, "Brother will return to Beijing tomorrow?" ”

Mrs. Wang's tone couldn't hide her joy, "Yes, I haven't been back for several years, Brother Pan met once when he was a child, but Sister Bao has never seen it."

This time, it was easy to ask for the emperor's grace and allow their uncle to return to Beijing to report on his work. When the time comes, sister-in-law, you have to take your brother and sister home often, and the family will be close to each other."

Mrs. Xue was pleasantly surprised, where did she remember the festival with Mrs. Wang, and nodded again and again.

Mrs. Wang asked Yu Xin again, and when she learned that Yu Xin could not return to Beijing for the New Year, she sighed very regretfully, "It is so unfortunate that his uncle often praises him in his letters, and I don't know if the two nephews can meet each other."

Mrs. Wang's regret was very sincere, which made Xue Baobao very suspicious of what she was regretting, anyway, it was impossible to regret that Yu Xin and Wang Ziteng's "nephew" could not meet.

Mrs. Xue asked, "Brother is going out when he comes back this time?" He is not young anymore, it is better to ask the emperor for grace to stay in Beijing, no matter what the title, it is better than running around."

Mrs. Wang sighed, "Who doesn't say it, only such things depend on the emperor's grace, how can we do the Lord?" ”

As he spoke, the vermilion palace door slowly opened in the morning light, and everyone hurriedly closed their voices and returned to their carriage quickly and quietly.

The palace gate has just opened, and the ministers in the palace have not yet appeared, and it is still early to enter the palace to congratulate.

The powerful ministers are usually majestic outside, but at this time, they are all silent, waiting for the call in the cold wind.

The Xue family was really at the back of the line as Jia Mu said, and they didn't enter the palace until the end of the hour, and kowtowed to the Empress Dowager Yang and Queen Yang and other women from afar, and they didn't even see the color of their clothes clearly, so they were taken by the palace people to receive the royal banquet.

Most of the royal banquets are cold dishes and dim sum, and the few hot dishes have already been blown cold on the way to the end.

Everyone raised their chopsticks meaningfully, and when the imperial banquet was over, they went to kneel in batches to thank the Queen Mother Yang and the Queen Mother Yang for the banquet, and then lined up to go home from the palace.

The Xue family was still at the end of the line, and it was already past noon when they waited for their own carriage.

Xue Baobao was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, but fortunately, Xue Shen's family was in a good place, and seeing that they were delayed, they prepared snacks and hot tea.

Xue Baobao poured a big sip of hot tea, and ate seven or eight cheese in a row before he felt alive, and asked with a smile, "Mrs. still thinks that it is a great grace to be able to enter the palace to worship?" ”

Mrs. Xue glared at her, "Don't talk about it! How many people want to suffer this sin, and they haven't thought about it all their lives! ”

Xue Baobao laughed, "Mrs. also said that it was this sin, but it can be seen that she doesn't like it either."

Mrs. Xue was angry and funny, "If your brother comes out and earns me a real three-grade life back, I can't wait to suffer this sin every day!"

Your little family has grown up with fine clothes and food, where do you know the benefits of wealth! ”

Xue Baobao turned around and grimaced at Zhen Yinglian, Zhen Yinglian couldn't help laughing, poured her a cup of tea and sent it to her, "Drink some tea, don't choke."

……

……

The next day was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Xue family, like countless families, spent the New Year lively and busy, and on the first day of the new year, the family went to the palace to worship.

Although she knew that she would not be able to enter the palace until the end, Mrs. Xue still did not dare to slack off, and urged her children to get up early to prepare, and arrived outside the palace gate before dawn.

They waited for more than two quarters of an hour before the palace gate opened.

According to the usual practice, it is always two quarters of an hour after the palace gate is opened that the ministers will come to the palace gate to announce the decree.

On this day, there was a movement very quickly, and it was not the inner minister who came, but a palace maid in blue clothes.

Soon, someone recognized the identity of the palace maid in Biyi - Bizhu next to the Queen Mother, how could she be her to announce the decree?

Bizhu walked quickly to the palace gate, and whispered a few words to the guards guarding the door, and the guards raised their voices and shouted, "Is the family of Lord Xue from Ziwei Sheren here?" ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, how many products is Ziwei Sheren, how can they come to congratulate?

The carriage of Jiafu was in front, Tanchun heard it clearly, and hurriedly asked someone to call Mrs. Xue.

Mrs. Xue was also taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Bizhu returned the salute and said with a smile, "Mrs. Xue, the Queen Mother ordered the slave maid to invite Mrs. Xue and Miss Xue to go to Cining Palace for a while, and also asked Mrs. Xue not to be presumptuous."

Mrs. Xue, "......"

How to meet the blame?

How can you be presumptuous!

They were able to rush into the palace in front of those first-grade and second-grade old feudal monarchs, which is really a great grace!

Although Mrs. Xue was barely suppressed, she couldn't help but show a flattered smirk, and said busily, "The Queen Mother is too polite, too polite, I'll go to her old man's house to say goodbye."

The wives who were waiting in line in front of the palace gate to enter the palace were originally curious about what Bizhu came to ask Mrs. Xue to do, but they didn't expect to see Bizhu personally leading the mother and daughter of the Xue family into the palace after a while!

It turned out to be the Queen Mother who summoned it herself!

Or summoned as soon as the palace gate opened!

In the past, most of them kowtowed to the Queen Mother Yang from afar, even if it was the Queen Mother's maiden brother-in-law, Mrs. Yang, did not have the grace to meet the Queen Mother every time!

Everyone thought that the Empress Dowager Yang personally gave Xue Baobao and Lu Li as a guest, and thought that the Empress Dowager Yang summoned Xue Baobao into the palace to accompany them, and looked at the eyes of the Xue family's mother and daughter.

Yu Xin is really favored!

Even the Xue family, who took the Shangjia family, followed the chicken dog to heaven!

After I went back, I tried to find a way to climb and make friends, that Miss Xue had just arrived, and I didn't know if I had decided on a family affair......

Mrs. Xue naturally didn't know that she had become the most powerful and high-status lady in Da Xiao, and the ladies were fragrant in their hearts, and followed Bizhu all the way into Cining Palace.

Then, Xue Baobao was invited in to "serve the Queen Mother's mother", and Bizhu personally led Mrs. Xue and Zhen Yinglian to enjoy the scenery and gossip in Cining Palace.

And Xue Baobao, who was directly called to the Empress Dowager's bedroom, was just about to kowtow, but was helped up by the Empress Dowager Yang herself.

"Good boy, you are so familiar, what are you doing so politely, you are not allowed to kneel in the future."

Empress Dowager Yang had a gentle attitude, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was a little embarrassed, "Good boy, I called you in so early, why, you probably guessed it."

That little enemy in this palace refuses to enter without your hands.

In the past few days, I have been eating steamed buns and steamed buns left over from the morning, how good is this! ”

Queen Mother Yang was born in the Yang family of the descendant family, she has been pampered since she was a child, and after she got married, she is a mother in the world, her husband and son are both emperors, it can be said that there is no more noble woman than her in the whole Daxiao.

In the eyes of a person of her status, eating leftovers is a great deal.

"Originally, if you didn't enter the palace, it would be fine, but since you have entered the palace, the palace will inevitably trouble you.

Really Miss Xue is a good craft, in fact, not only Xiao Qi, but also the palace eats the things made by the imperial chefs, there are many tricks, and the arrangement is also good-looking, but I just feel that it is tasteless, and it is not right to eat."

Empress Dowager Yang's tone was sincere and sincere, and her words were full of appreciation for Xue Baobao and embarrassment to ask her to cook in person during the New Year.

Actually, she doesn't have to be like this, Xue Baobao can only do it, she is like this, but she makes Xue Baobao embarrassed.

Empress Dowager Yang reached out and picked up a bell hairpin from the dresser, inserted it for Xue Baobao with her own hands, and said with a sigh, "Good boy, I'm afraid that this palace will often trouble you in the future."

This hairpin was originally carved by the emperor himself when the palace entered the palace, and almost everyone in this imperial city knows it.

Xue Baobao hurriedly wanted to take it off, is it appropriate to give her such a hairpin like this?

Empress Dowager Yang firmly held her hand and said with a loving smile, "Good boy, this palace can't give you anything good, but at least it can ensure that no one dares to bully you in this palace, give it to you, you want it, you deserve it."

Xue Baobao had to accept it, and the Queen Mother Yang personally sent Xue Baobao to the kitchen, and then turned around.

Xue Baobao is very aware of the urine nature of the treasure building, and what he pretended to say when he met at the beginning of the year has long been forgotten by him, and he is definitely no meat now.

Those who nibbled on steamed buns and steamed buns at noon and evening yesterday must have been more greedy for meat.

Early in the morning, Xue Baobao wouldn't give him anything to eat, so after thinking about it, he decided to make a fried sauce noodle.

Coupled with mung bean porridge that lowers the fire, a few refreshing kimchi, it should be about the same.

As for the Queen Mother, the taste of the mother and son is very similar, but there is no need to prepare separately, which is convenient.

Xue Baobao was already familiar with the small kitchen in this Cining Palace, and ordered the ingredients to be prepared, boil the porridge first, and then start making fried sauce.

Most of the fried sauce in the fried sauce noodles is spring sauce, Xue Baobao adjusted the sweet and spicy taste according to the taste of the treasure building, and added onions, shrimps, minced meat and other condiments.

In ancient times, the conditions were limited, and in winter, even the royal family did not have cucumbers to eat, so Xue Baobao was going to take two green vegetables and roll them from the boiling water to make a side dish.

After the fried sauce was ready, Xue Baobao began to mix the noodles, knead the noodles, and pull the noodles.

No matter what kind of noodles they are, to make them delicious, the first thing is to pull them strongly.

Xue Baobao was a northerner in his previous life, and his family liked to eat pasta, and noodles were often served on the table.

Naturally, Xue Baobao put a lot of effort into the ramen area, and even asked her to perform a fancy ramen ramen by a ramen brother, and she would do it.

Well, it should be better than most of the little brothers.

After breakfast was ready, the palace people sent it out.

Xue Baobao usually cooks more, and what the Queen Mother Yang and Bao Bao can't eat, she and the palace people who help in the kitchen will solve it.

After the Empress Dowager Yang and the treasure were sent away, Xue Baobao beckoned the palace people to eat, and he took a piece of silk candy from his purse and put it in his mouth.

She didn't actually eat breakfast, but last night she didn't dare to close her eyes all night under Mrs. Xue's constant chatter, and she was sleepy and tired at this time, and she had no appetite at all.

She said hello to the palace people she knew with sugar, and then went out to find Mrs. Xue and them.

She was already familiar with this Cining Palace, and soon found Mrs. Xue and Zhen Yinglian who were drinking tea in a side hall of Cining Palace.

Bizhu was still accompanied, and when she saw her coming, she got up with a smile and saluted, "Miss Xue, Niangniang has ordered, when the girl comes, she will lead Mrs. Xue and the two girls to sit at Concubine Xiande's place."

Today, Mrs. Xue and the two girls are dining at Concubine Xiande's place, and there is no need to kowtow to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Yang was kind, Mrs. Xue was naturally grateful, and after thanking her for her grace, Bizhu led them to Jia Yuanchun again, and only went back after handing them over to Jia Yuanchun.
