Today's Hajj will last a long time, and everyone will have to come to the palace at the same time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info But the high-grade Hajj can rest after the meeting, and the low-grade may wait for a long time.
Because the queen and the emperor want to accept the pilgrimage of civil and military officials and envoys together, the female dependents have to postpone one an hour to enter the palace, and after the queen returns to the Jinghua Palace next to the Xuanzheng Palace, she will accept the audience of the female dependents here. Ying Xiuling was named Mrs. Fuguo, and was the first to go in to meet the women, and then was led by the palace maid to the side hall to drink tea and rest. But after the wife and the family members of the officials who had added special grace to the emperor met the queen, the queen asked An Yurong to invite her uncle to bring Xiaoxiao into a separate hall to drink tea and talk. The queen is very interested in Xiaoxiao, she also has a lot of earliners in the palace, and she will not pay attention to Meng Dingguo's family affairs. What's more, her sister Shen Wanhua has always been in love with Meng Yu, although she doesn't agree, she also wants to see what this girl who poses a threat to her sister looks like and what her temperament is. Besides, the emperor is valuing Guo Shichao, and he has to be a bit of a princess in front of the emperor.
When she met just now, she had already seen Xiaoxiao, with a slender figure, melon seed face, big eyes, and two cute dimples on her cheeks, but she was clever and beautiful, but compared with her sister's appearance, it was still a little worse. She comforted her heart, and thought that this girl was very pleasing to the eye, and people also looked smart, which was a bit beautiful. It's just that if she snatches Wanhua's sweetheart, she still doesn't feel angry.
Ying Xiuling smiled slightly: "The queen mother is very kind, don't be nervous." I will give a banquet in a while, this kind of opportunity is not easy to get, and my aunt will always accompany you. ā
smiled and nodded.
Ying Xiuling said and gently lifted the skirt and walked into the gate of the main hall of Jinghua Palace, but she couldn't expose her shoes. Xiaoxiao was instructed the etiquette in the palace before entering the palace, she was very smart, and Ying Xiuling was also very relieved of her. Sure enough, she also quietly lifted her skirt gently, and followed her aunt into the hall generously.
When the queen saw her aunt come in, she immediately stood up with a smile, stopped Ying Xiuling, who was about to bow down, and asked An Yurong to help Xiaoxiao up, and gave her a seat and gave her refreshments. A palace maid led the two to sit down on a carved high-backed chair, and the queen said a few words of homely things, then looked at Xiaoxiao and said: "Xiaoxiao girl is really handsome and polite, and after my aunt raised a meritorious family, she also worked hard." ā
Ying Xiuling hurriedly said politely: "Niangniang is too famous, and she is also the sister of Meng Yu's friend, and my family should also take care of it." ā
The queen is gentle and gentle, and Ying Xiuling and Xiaoxiao are homely, asking about the cold and warmth. But she muttered a little in her heart, Wanhua went to the previous dynasty with her early in the morning, and she and the emperor accepted the congratulations of hundreds of officials and envoys, and Wanhua's casual personality didn't know where to go. It's just that she used to run away and run away, but she ran back to find herself at any time, and when she saw the emptiness, she was eating and begging for rewards, always annoying herself. But two hours have passed today, and there is no shadow to be seen, and she feels strange. But the previous dynasty was all people who came to congratulate in an orderly manner, and the forbidden army was so tightly guarded, it was impossible for anything to happen, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart.
Suddenly, she was excited, Wanhua had been kidnapped twice, probably related to her father's enemies. Today, all kinds of forces are concentrated in the palace, not everyone is of the same mind as the emperor, let alone Shen Hechang, Wanhua doesn't want to have an accident.
She was uneasy, and even Ying Xiuling could see it, and then An Yurong came in and said softly to the queen: "There is no harem, let the little eunuch on duty in the front court look for two circles, and I didn't see the shadow of the second lady." General Qi sent his men to look for it, and General Qi himself went to see Commander Guo, preparing to send the forbidden army inside and outside the palace to look around. ā
Ying Xiuling and Xiaoxiao both knew that Shen Wanhua was probably missing. Ying Xiuling also knew that Shen Wanhua liked Meng Yu, and she had also seen this girl, although she was really similar to Meng Xue in terms of appearance, but that bold and lively personality, it is estimated that not only Meng Yu can't stand it, but she can't stand it either.
smiled and listened, and felt in his heart, Shen Wanhua disappeared in the palace, don't have anything to do with her cousin again. She was very clever, thinking in her heart, but her face did not show any light.
The queen frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Hurry up and find it! Don't let the bad guys take advantage of it!"
Immediately, the queen smiled quietly and responded to Xiu Ling: "It's time to give a banquet in the palace, this palace will accompany my aunt and uncle to Jinghua Palace's main hall, and the wife and female dependents have already arrived." ā
The main hall of Jinghua Palace is really richly decorated, although it is daytime, it is hung with red lanterns, revealing joy. The queen entered the main seat, and let Ying Xiuling go, Ying Xiuling thanked her, and took her seat with a smile, and Su Qiyun's position was also specially arranged next to Ying Xiuling. Xiaoxiao sat there very quietly, but secretly watched how the other ladies behaved, reminding herself not to behave wrong. The palace maid sent fresh fruit snacks, and the queen gave cypress leaf wine. Seeing that the wine had passed two rounds, he also toasted the queen with Aunt Meng and Aunt Su, Xiaoxiao was thinking about his cousin's affairs, and saw that some of the frail female dependents had retired to the palace to rest temporarily, and some were serving in the maid's ring or the palace maid's guidance, so he quietly responded to Xiuling: "Auntie, it's too stuffy here, go out with a smile to breathe." ā
Ying Xiuling was very relieved about Xiaoxiao, knowing that she was a bold and careful and clever child. What's more, her martial arts are not weak, so she whispered: "It's also stuffy here, go out and take a look at the scenery." There aren't many opportunities in the future. ā
Xiaoxiao blinked his big eyes and said "um", and walked out of the temple gate. Jinghua Palace was at the junction of the front and back dynasties, and at the door leading to the front dynasty, his cousin's subordinate General Qi was talking to the two forbidden soldiers. This General Qi, Meng Yu took Guo Shichao into the palace through him at the beginning, and he didn't expect to be under Guo Shichao now.
Because when they were fine, General Qi and the other forbidden soldiers would also talk to Guo Shichao for a drink, so Xiaoxiao also knew them. She leaned against the wall and walked over quietly, and when she came to her, she said, "General Qi." ā
General Qi looked up and smiled: "Hey, smile, you have face today, the queen personally summoned you and gave you a banquet." Your cousin and we will have to freeze outside the palace!"
smiled and saluted: "General Qi made fun of him, can you help me find my cousin?" I have something important to find him!"
General Qi and the two guards of the forbidden army both laughed: "What do you have to look for him? Is it that the queen can't carry the things rewarded by the queen, so you are looking for him to carry them for you?"
smiled and blushed: "What's the matter, it's really important!"
General Qi smiled and said seriously, so he said to a forbidden army: "The emperor has also started to give banquets, it is estimated that there will not be many things, you go and see where Commander Guo is, and ask him to come over quickly." (To be continued.) )
