"Since it's unintentional, don't open your mouth. Empress Chen warned lightly.

The concubine accepted it when she saw it, but she didn't say anything more, and sat down with a victorious and arrogant attitude.

This scene was interesting in Xiahou Shuang's eyes, it seemed that this palace was really a place of chaos.

As the saying goes, the palace gate is as deep as the sea, and from then on it is innocent to be a passerby! If you don't have a scheming, you may have no place in the palace.

At this time, a younger concubine at the end said: "The sound of the piano of Princess Alcohol that day was really amazing, and the concubine still remembers it." ”

Li Jieyu spoke, Li Jieyu had only been in the palace for a long time, it was the age of innocence, what was thinking in her heart blurted out, Queen Chen glanced at her, and the inside story in the hall that day must not have been known to others.

How could Concubine Ling let her old enemy Xiahou Shuang be in the limelight, the only possibility was that Concubine Ling wanted to make Xiahou Shuang ugly, but she didn't expect that Xiahou Shuang's superb piano skills would make her show off and be rewarded.

"The piano skills of the day are indeed superb, I don't know what the name of this song is?" Empress Chen asked casually.

Xiahou Shuang replied respectfully: "After returning to the mother's words, this song is called the song of the moon, which is made by a master outside the world, and the daughter-in-law was shocked after hearing it, and it took several pleas to get the piano score, and I really couldn't get any other tune in the palace that day, so I had to replace it with this song, and I didn't think that it could enter the ears of the queen mother and all the mothers, and the daughter-in-law was very lucky." ”

"It's rare and good, and you must have worked hard to practice. Empress Chen seemed to be very satisfied with Xiahou Shuang, and she did not hesitate to praise her.

At this time, Qianyue came in to report, and several princes heard that the second princess had come to the palace and came to meet them together.

Queen Chen's chin bowed, a few people poured in the hall, and in front of them were the third prince Xiao Xinming and the fourth prince Xiao Xinda, Xiao Xinming was white and pure but looked like a weak scholar, Xiao Xinda's eyebrows and narrow lips gave people a cold feeling.

In the middle is Xiao Xinge, the fifth prince, with a burly figure and thick limbs, and the youngest sixth prince, Xiao Xingan, is only seven years old this year, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, and looks at the strange Xiahou Shuang with a smile on his face.

After everyone greeted the queen, Xiao Xinge said in a loud voice: "This should be the second sister-in-law, please say hello to the second sister-in-law." This loud voice lit up, and the concubines on both sides covered their mouths and chuckled.

Xiao Xinge's biological mother, Chun Guiren, was afraid that her son's mouth would disturb Xiahou Shuang, so she hurriedly got up and played a round game: "This is the fifth prince, born with a big voice, Princess Alcohol must not be surprised." ”

Xiahou Shuang saw that his eyes were clear, and he looked honest, and he hurriedly got up and said: "The pure nobles are too worried, and the fifth brother's simple nature makes people feel good at first sight. ”

is really a clever person, and he secretly praises it in his heart, but he will be a stupid person to marry into the royal family, and he seems to be too worried.

Xiahou Shuang greeted the other princes together, and the concubine on the side smiled and said to the princes: "You came early today. ”

Xiao Xinming said respectfully: "Today is a small court meeting, my father and several courtiers are talking in the imperial study, so the children and younger brothers came to see the second sister-in-law in the palace of the queen mother. ”

In addition to the young six princes, the rest of the princes have opened a mansion to live in another place, and Emperor Xuanhua intends to train them, so several princes will go to court together at the daily court meeting.

Concubine Duan is the biological mother of the third prince, and the two of them talk casually, Xiao Xinda on the side looks a little sluggish, but she seems to have gotten used to it, and she doesn't care about standing quietly on the side and is incompatible with the excitement in the hall.

Xiahou Shuang remembered that it was mentioned in the booklet that Xiao Xinda's biological mother was just a beauty under the ranks, and she died after giving birth to the four princes, and the four princes were raised by Concubine Xian, and Concubine Xian took care of the princess wholeheartedly, and she didn't care too much about the four princes, which must be the reason why Xiao Xinda had a gloomy personality.

"It's rare for you to enter the palace, and go to the Queen Mother's palace to meet the Queen Mother, and the palace will be dispersed when it is tired. "No one expected that the queen would let Xiahou Shuang go to see the queen mother, in the past, the queen and the queen mother fought openly and secretly, and even forced the queen mother to close the palace door, and rarely came forward.

Xiahou Shuang got up, as if she didn't know the inquiring eyes of the concubines, and stepped forward to say goodbye to the queen.

Cining Palace built is resplendent and splendid, unique in the palace, and it is a symbol of the dignity of the harem, but it is a pity that with the decline of the master, Cining Palace seems a little bleak.

Xiahou Shuang buckled the palace door, only to hear a squeak, the palace door opened, and an old palace maid with gray hair poked her head out, and Xiahou Shuang saluted and said: "Xiahou came to meet the imperial grandmother." ”

When the palace maid heard this, she hurriedly opened the door of the palace and saluted Xiahou Shuang: "Meet Princess Alcohol!"

After Xiahou Shuang called, the palace maid said as she walked: "Please come with the old slave, the queen mother has been waiting in the palace for a long time." ”

The palace maid led Xiahou Shuang to a small hall to worship the Buddha, and an old woman with a blushing face and a childish face knelt on the futon, closing her eyes and chanting scriptures.

Xiahou Shuang knelt on the cushion behind the Queen Mother without saying a word, quietly waiting for the Queen Mother to chant.

After about a cup of tea, the queen mother opened her eyes, and the palace people on the side stepped forward to help her up, as if she saw Xiahou Shuang at this time, and only heard her say: "You are Rong'er's newly married daughter-in-law?"

Xiahou Shuang respectfully kowtowed and said, "Granddaughter-in-law Xiahou clan to meet the imperial grandmother!"

"Well, a calm mind is a person who can achieve great things. It was not in vain that the mourning family sent a message to the queen early for you to come to meet. ”

It turned out that it was not Queen Chen who suddenly wanted to let Xiahou Shuang come, but the Queen Mother proposed to see her, and Xiahou Shuang didn't understand why the Queen Mother wanted to see her, so the only way to keep silent was the best policy.

The Queen Mother walked up to Xiahou Shuang and said, "Get up, come with the mourning family." ”

Xiahou Shuang followed the Queen Mother to the main hall of Cining Palace, the golden wall in the palace was brilliant and full of royal luxury, Xiahou Shuang sat down and the Queen Mother said: "I heard that you and Rong'er have known each other for a long time?"

"The granddaughter-in-law didn't dare to hide it, she did know, when the granddaughter-in-law was checking the accounts in her own store, a group of scoundrels came to look for trouble, thanks to the help of the prince, these people were beaten away, the prince's chivalrous heart, so that the granddaughter-in-law admired. ”

After hearing this, the Queen Mother nodded with a few laugh lines on her face, as if she was caught in a memory, and said: "Rong'er seems to be indifferent, but she is actually enthusiastic, otherwise she would not have been used back then." "It's vague here.

Xiahou Shuang really heard it and was suspicious in her heart, could it be that there was something hidden in the prince?

didn't wait for Xiahou Shuang to think about it, but listened to the Queen Mother say: "Rong'er is simple-minded, and she knows how to repay her kindness, since you have become her princess, you must treat each other well in the future, and living your little life is the right way, don't pay too much attention to other cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods." ”

Xiahou Shuang's heart was cold, and she hurriedly got up to respond, the Queen Mother saw that her attitude was sincere, her expression was neither humble nor overbearing, which made people feel at ease, the Queen Mother knew that Xiahou Shuang had listened to these words, waved her hand and said: "You go, when he has time to enter the palace to see my old woman." ”
