The other party looked at her several times, Qiao Zhaoyi looked at her nose and nose, and only thought that she was a transparent person.

Until a few breaths later, a small public on duty in the palace passed by, and when he saw the man in brocade in front of the sedan chair, he was respectful and happy, and immediately bent down and arched his hand: "Gonggong Deng, it turns out that today you are going back to the palace to serve the mother, and the little one said how to prepare the sedan chair in the corner gate." ”

Qiao Zhaoyi: "............"

Originally, she still thought that Niangniang was a compassionate person, and she was willing to keep a sedan chair for her at the corner gate, but it turned out that she thought too much about everything.

It's just that the timing of her entering the palace coincides with the father-in-law who also returned to the palace.

So why did you just ask her to take a seat?

Qiao Zhaoyi stood motionless, and several little fathers-in-law carrying sedan chairs were even more like mud tires, like mourning and approval.

They were on an errand at the gate of the palace today, and there was a message from the queen's palace that the second daughter of Lord Shen Shiqiao's family was going to enter the palace and asked them to prepare a small sedan chair.

Everyone never expected that as soon as the girl from Master Qiao's family came, Gonggong Deng would also arrive in an instant.

The little eunuch who was in charge of carrying the sedan chair felt that the dark clouds covered the top of the sedan chair.

The queen and His Majesty gave birth to a total of four sons and one daughter, but the eldest son did not stand still, and died after only a few months of birth, and the mother and His Majesty were very sad, and it was not until the birth of the second son that they were relieved.

Deng Gonggong, is the seventh year after the death of the eldest son into the palace, when the death day, Niang Niang burned incense and prayed for the deceased son in the Baohua Palace, just the Duke of the Ministry of Internal Affairs just elected the child into the palace, Niang Niang saw Deng Yi standing in the front at a glance.

This child's eyebrows and eyes are slightly similar to the deceased little prince.

Niangniang felt in her heart, so she asked someone to come over, although she was a slave, she loved it very much.

Deng Yi is just over 20 now, but he is already a leading eunuch, not to mention, he just got an errand from the Investigation Institute last year.

The Imperial Power of the Investigation Yuan is only for His Majesty, supervising hundreds of officials, and when it comes to the investigation and inspection guards in the streets and alleys, the adjectives given are all "plagiarism and arrogance", which shows the madness of this organization's daily actions.

There was no precedent for eunuchs to be in power in the past in the Investigation Yuan, and Deng Yi was the first.

In this regard, the reply given by the palace was that there were eunuchs in the three armies when they went out, so why should Your Majesty place a eunuch in the "courtyard"?

Deng Yi was ordered to handle the case three days ago, this morning the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were interrogated, and the Investigation Institute was ordered to observe, and now that the dust has settled, he hurriedly returned to the palace to meet Qiao Zhaoyi.

The soft sedan chair in the palace is not something that anyone can do, if it is not for the six Shangshu and the court, it will be an exceptional reward from the heavenly family.

Deng Yi and Qiao Zhaoyi both belong to the latter.

Deng Yi saw the surrounding state, and quickly thought of this, without the opening of the heavenly family, how could anyone dare to sit in a sedan chair in the palace.

Deng Yi looked at the soft sedan for a long time and laughed.

With this smile, several little eunuchs wanted to cry without tears, but unexpectedly, Deng Yi tidied up his sleeves and walked to the sedan chair instead, looking like he was going to follow the sedan chair.

Qiao Zhaoyi, who was half-bent down in the sedan chair and was about to go out: "......"

As early as the little eunuch's voice of Duke Deng, she guessed the identity of the other party.

The Son of Heaven is a close minister, and he is humble and powerful.

This master, the people who saw the six departments in the past, dared not to take it seriously.

Let him give himself a sedan chair, which is completely contrary to the salted fish law that Qiao Zhaoyi abides by every day.

Qiao Zhaoyi wanted to get out of the sedan chair, but was pressed back by Deng Yi's eyes.

Qiao Zhaoyi: "......"

Okay, too.

Uncle, she will do whatever you want.

Deng Yi acted arrogantly outside, and restrained a lot inside the palace walls, unhurriedly following Qiao Zhaoyi's sedan chair, and the palace people on the road frequently looked at each other, and after seeing their appearances, they bowed their heads in unison, walked quickly, and didn't dare to look at it again.

Qiao Zhaoyi sat in the sedan chair, afraid of being hated by Deng Yi, so she carefully lifted the corner of the curtain in front of the sedan window on the left side and peeked at the person's face.

Unexpectedly, Deng Yi's five senses were keen, and as soon as his eyes fell on the other party, he looked back.

Qiao Zhaoyi suddenly met a pair of eyes.

Qiao Zhaoyi: "......"

Deng was indifferent, and asked her with his eyes, is there something?

Qiao Zhaoyi saw that his face was innocent, so he smiled sweetly at him, and then reached out to put down the sedan curtain.

Deng Yi saw the other party's posture, and thought expressionlessly, how can he be like a kitten? It's not like her Lao Tzu killed the ministers at the court meeting.

Qiao Zhaoyi really thinks a lot, Deng Yi is arrogant, but he is not a person who bullies girls for trivial things.

The group walked through one palace gate after another, turned one palace wall after another, and walked for a long time in the red wall golden tile before finally stopping the sedan chair.

The place where the master stays, even if it is a great courtier, needs to walk in.

Qiao Zhaoyi followed behind Deng Yi, seeing that all the people were respectful, and they didn't even dare to interrogate, so they hurriedly let them go, and also experienced the strange feeling of "it turns out that this is the posture of the eunuch".

After seeing the two palace walls, passing through the lintel beams and columns, and then going inside, you will arrive at the Chunhui Palace.

A waiting grandmother heard the sound, glanced out, immediately smiled, came out to greet Gonggong Deng, and then searched and interrogated Qiao Zhaoyi according to the rules, and waited for the person to reply, and then let the two in.

Before Qiao Zhaoyi entered the palace, he had heard about the fame of the current queen Zhou for a long time.

She is not His Majesty's original wife, but she was raised later, from entering the palace to giving birth to a prince, ranking as the queen, and assisting the government, it has been twenty-six years.

After Zhou Qiyan took power, he promoted many people in the court, killed many people, overthrew many civilian groups, and also cultivated many heroes from the poor family for Daye.

Before Qiao Zhaoyi entered the palace, she thought that Zhou Hou should be a solemn and domineering character, but she didn't expect to lift the curtain and enter, but what she bumped into was an unusually dignified and gentle person, dressed in plain brocade clothes, with a piece of paper in front of her, she lifted the pen, as if she was thinking about something.

It wasn't until Qiao Zhaoyi came in that his eyes moved from the painting.

Qiao Zhaoyi kowtowed, "The courtiers pay tribute to Niangniang, and wish Niangniang a thousand years of Jin'an." ”

The sound like a sweet spring sounded in the hall, and Zhou Qi shook his head at the girl in front of him.

I saw that the face of the person who came was like a peach apricot, but he was wearing an sunflower green dress, which lined the whole person like a hazy spring flower hidden in the mist of the spring mountain.

Zhou Qi shook her eyes, first smiled lightly and asked her to get up, and then beckoned her to come over, "Let's take a look at this new painting in the palace." ”

Qiao Zhaoyi walked over and saw a bucket square pressed on the paperweight on the table, painted with Zhao pink peony, overlapping pink and purple flower hearts, pressed the white at the edge, born on the sprinkled gold rice paper, but the edge was empty, without inscription.

Qiao Zhaoyi's face was deferential, and he only picked up a few words of flattery.

In fact, everything that has no clear purpose is easy to do, and if she doesn't enter the game, it is the best way to break the game.

Uncle Wenyuan's family is not a hero, nor a minister, where did he get the face to get the queen's will.

Unexpectedly, she stood for a long time, Zhou Qiyan suddenly asked Deng Yi to hand over a pen, Zhou Qiyan said slowly, "Although the painting is completed, there is a lack of the poem of the prime minister." Yesterday, His Majesty said that Qiao Lang's children were all very well raised, and this palace also wanted to see it. ”

The voice is not serious, but gentle and calm, as if he is really distressed by poetry.

Qiao Zhaoyi: "......"

She held the pen and felt that it weighed a thousand pounds.

Your Majesty's words are ahead, if she doesn't write well, I'm afraid that she will not have to give her father a hat that teaches her daughter in the future, which will affect the official reputation, and the sister who marries out of the family will have to live in her husband's house.

Her eldest sister is married by virtue of her talent, and if her sister-in-law is not able to understand literature and ink, how can she have the face to straighten her waist in her husband's house in the future.

But if it's well written, will it give her a reason to go out directly?

Qiao Zhaoyi, who thought of this: "......"

She stood in front of Dou Fang for a long time, her heart was pounding, and finally thought of something, put down her pen, knelt down slowly, and slowly read the peony appreciation words that had already existed in Beijing to Zhou Qiyan: "In the past, there was humanity, the peony demon in front of the court was unqualified, and the hibiscus on the pond was pure and affectionate." Only the peony is true to the national color, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom. ”*

No matter what they have in mind, all in all, it's right to boast.

This peony may have other hidden meanings, but Qiao Zhaoyi doesn't want to think about it, she is only sure of one thing, under the current conditions, she is right to compare the peony to the queen.

There is no one in the world who does not like others to compliment him, and even more so in heaven.

Qiao Zhaoyi: "The real flower in the world is the peony, but the heavenly religion is late, and it blooms alone in late spring, which makes peony and other things not see the true face, thinking that they can be compared." ”*

"But where the peony blooms, it also moves the flowers, allowing the flowers to see the hope and possibility of their own growth, which is the righteousness of the past and the present."

Qiao Zhaoyi said slowly: "The courtiers are dull and unbearable poetry, and the sentences written are afraid that they will insult this flower, so that the flowers of their immortal products will be stained with the soil of mortal mud. ”

Zhou Qiyao is the successor of Daye, but the road he has walked over the years has not been smooth, and there are obstacles everywhere in the front and back harem.

Qiao Zhaoyi didn't know what Zhou Qiyan was thinking, but as a student majoring in drama and literature, he had read a lot of history books, and he could also get a glimpse of the psychology of another Wu family who also served as a regent from just a few words.

The untitled peony she said originated from the well-known Wuhuang wordless monument in her previous life.

Qiao Zhaoyi's voice landed, the needle drop in the room could be heard, and in the silence, the breeze blew slowly, blowing away the meager sweat emanating from Qiao Zhaoyi's back.

Chunhui Hall is a good place to enjoy the coolness, in the early autumn when the heat has not completely subsided, the breeze here is gentle, and it is refreshing.

Xu is the afternoon wind is strong, the hall is placed four varnished ebony screens, painted grass and wood.

Pick and plant a few verdant bamboos in the hall, the flower shadow outside the window is sparse, I don't know what kind of it, the window is only half open, the room is full of incense, there is a unique leisure.

This queen, who was born in Daye, is also a person who can live and have taste.

Zhou Qi shook his eyes at the peony in the painting, smiled for a while, and asked Deng Yi to hold Qiao Zhaoyi's hand and sigh: "Qiao Lang has indeed raised his children very well. ”

"Yesterday, Uncle Wen Yuan's family entered the palace, and praised you for being a good boy, and when I look at it today, it is really extraordinarily standard, transparent and heartwarming."

Zhou Qiyan said alone, and only asked at the end: "Yesterday, I listened to my mouth and said that you have reached the age of discussing relatives?" ”

Qiao Zhaoyi softened her body and replied softly: "Yes." ”

"In June this year, Jiangnan sent a set of gold inlaid emerald heads, and you will get married in about two years, so I will make a color head for you first." Zhou Qiyan thought for a while, and finally sighed before saying: "If the noble son of any family can get you to be his wife, the family is also lucky, you are sensible." ”

When Qiao Zhaoyi walked out of the Chunhui Hall with the box, people were still pondering, could it be that Zhou Qiyan really loved her cousin sister in Wenyuan's mansion, so that things that were not made could be said to be noble sons without changing their faces.

But in this marriage, she really doesn't want to marry whoever she loves.

Qiao Zhaoyi glanced at the sky, about halfway through the application time, the Zhang family, who the Qiao family sent someone to invite overnight last night, should also have taken the dowry list to Wenyuanbo's mansion.

Daye is happy to marry, so before the rich and noble families marry their daughters, they sometimes let the dowry list go through in front of the government, to prevent the two parties from separating, or the death of the woman, because of the dowry.

Wen Yuanbo's family didn't expect that even if they were killed, they had obviously ruined the dowry list, and the Zhang family could transfer another copy from the government!

Not only did the Zhang family come, but they didn't know where to get the letter, and they actually sent out another news that was originally tightly covered!

I only heard the Zhang family's son ask sharply: "What about the girl born before my sister's death!" Did you send Zhuangzi up early, so as not to hinder your way to marry a bride? ”

Yan Zhou, who heard Xin'er, almost closed his breath on the spot.

……

There was a commotion over there, Qiao Zhaoyi tossed for an afternoon, and finally returned home from the palace, his face was full of joy, and then after seeing Deng Yi follow him out of the palace, he laughed and collapsed directly, and took it back at the time, with a cautious look, and whispered: "Gonggong Deng." ”

Deng Yi's face was unwavering.

He has indeed seen a lot of pretending to be pigs and tigers, and he is the first one who pretends to look like a real pig.

Why don't you see the sharp teeth and sharp mouth just now.

Deng Yi sent her out of the inner palace gate according to the queen's wishes, and when she left, she took out something and stacked it on the box with her head, and said with a smile: "Niangniang rewarded, salute and thank you." ”

I don't know what's in the box, it's much heavier than the head.

As soon as Deng Yi let go, Qiao Zhaoyi felt that he was pressing down from the top like a daughter, and even led people forward slightly.

Qiao Zhaoyi: "......"

Deng Yi saw her like this, laughed undisguisedly, and after Qiao Zhaoyi thanked her, she flicked her sleeves and left in a good mood.

The wind brought by the sleeve swept on Qiao Zhaoyi's face.

Qiao Zhaoyi: ...... She endures.

She endures and endures!

Qiao Zhaoyi turned around and walked out, and the palace people who were waiting on both sides were relieved to see Deng Yi leaving, and they took the boxes from Qiao Zhaoyi's arms one by one.

The news of Chunhui Hall has always been strict, they don't know what is going on inside, but when they see a reward, they know that they must have shown their faces in front of Niangniang, and they are more enthusiastic than one another.

As soon as I got out of the palace gate, I saw Qiao's carriage, Qiao Zhaoyi walked over quickly, and when Mama Fang saw that Qiao Zhaoyi had won such a big reward, she was so excited that she couldn't do it, she clasped her hands together, and couldn't stop chattering about the blessing of her ancestors.

When they arrived at Qiao's Mansion, the two of them just wanted to go to the main courtyard to tell the story of the Lin family, when they saw a familiar girl from Yuwan Pavilion walking hurriedly, crying and begging with a sad face: "Fourth girl, you can count it back, come to our courtyard and take a look, the third girl is not good!" ”

Qiao Zhaoyi: "...... Yes!? ”

Didn't she go to see her unmarried husband??
