Empress Huaishu of the Harem

Chapter 69
There is such a kind of person in the world, who has always been raised in a wealthy town, with elegance carved into his bones, and even his voice has a kind of grace and luxury.

I have always felt that Weng Lord Chengyi is such a person.

Because obviously, like everyone else, she was trying to curry favor with the empress dowager's direct daughter-in-law, but she still had a sense of what others didn't have.

It's just that when she saw me, she was slightly taken aback, then smiled politely, saluted, and said, "Diji is here."

I also returned the gift with a smile, and said: "My Lord, it's been a long time." So there is nothing to say.

Unexpectedly, she, who was always polite to me but also polite, said again: "Thanks to you taking care of Ling'er last time, I will always remember it in my heart."

When I heard her mentioning Su Ling, I was also a bit concerned, and said: "I heard that Su Ling has recovered, Huang Tian blessed me."

Lord Chengyi nodded and said: "It's Daan, I will bring her to the palace to pay her respects in a few days."

I said: "That's good." That's it, nothing else.

After I watched Lord Chengyi leave, I walked towards Xiaozhai.

I'm from my husband's family, and Peiying is a girl to be married. According to the custom of avoiding shame, I can't come out to greet her.

Just a few steps away, Yun Zhan took the opportunity to whisper in my ear: "Actually, Miss Suling already came to the palace a few years ago, but the Empress Dowager didn't ask you to go there."

Of course I know, but people didn't mention it, so why should I bother to expose my scars.

This thought turned around, and I was already in front of Xiao Peiying, she was wearing a bright red double-breasted skirt, with a skirt of the same color, decorated with broken beads.It doesn't look too luxurious, but it also makes her skin fairer. Even I, who has always been mediocre with her, couldn't help saying: "When people are happy and energetic, the county lord is even more beautiful."

Peiying smiled lightly, although she blushed a little, but she was not shy, and said instead: "Then the servant girl should also express her congratulations to Di Ji."

When I thought about it, it was true, even though the third elder brother came from the Qinghe king's lineage, he is a serious royal family after all, and the older brother marrying his sister-in-law, isn't it just a great joy.So he said: "Since that's the case, don't be a courtier. After a while, I will salute you."

Xiao Peiying nodded and said: "Emperor Concubine, please sit down, I will be leaving the palace tomorrow, and the room is a little messy." She changed her address in a polite manner.

Then he ordered the maid to look after my seat.

In fact, I am still in my boudoir, and there are limited things I can do for my friend who is about to get married, and I can only joke a few words, talk about my thoughts, and add makeup at the end.We can't say how speculative it is, the first two cannot be carried out, so adding makeup has become the highlight.

The so-called dowry, as the name suggests, is to present property to the bride-to-be to make her dowry more generous. It is said that it should be given three days before the marriage.But I can't go out of the palace casually, and my mother is not yet out, so I can't enter the wedding room, so I have to send it out at another time.

Because I have given marriages to Sister Ozuki and the prostitutes of several palaces before, I already have a lot of experience in choosing gifts. It doesn't have to be too complicated and expensive, but the lottery must be good.It's as if what I took out this time is a pair of concentric rings, the agate texture is Warring States Red, and it is rare that the whole body is ruddy and free of impurities.After accepting it, Xiao Peiying thanked her very much, and I said, "These are all common things, what matters is your heart. As for the precious ones, you won't see them until you get to Najib."

Peiying was stunned, and laughed at herself: "Jiaodiji is a joke, after all, I grew up in another county, and I am no more knowledgeable than the daughter of Jingzhong."

I clicked my tongue and said: "Others don't know, but I saw your performance in the palace with my own eyes. It's called ignorance. Those of us who don't go out of the gate can't survive. It can't be said that the empress also likes you like this. of."

Speaking of her future mother-in-law, Xiao Peiying expressed a little emotion and gratitude, and said: "In the past, I just felt that I had to fight, but since I met the Queen Mother, I realized that as long as you work hard, your destiny can be so different. The road is made by people. "

My heart seemed to be hit by something, and I repeated what she said just now, "Roads are made by people."

In the blink of an eye, it was May, and the filial piety period for my mother and concubine had expired, and a ceremony to remove my clothes was held in Tongming Hall.The next day, I changed into colored clothes and went with Concubine Demu to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager.

There is a row of acacia trees planted outside the front hall of Yining Palace. Albizia juliensis is not common in the palace. It is said that it was planted by Emperor Longqing for his beloved son King Qinghe. Now even the king of Qinghe has passed away for many years, but because of this flower At that time, the fragrance was elegant and elegant, and gradually many people liked it.

The Queen Mother was even more so, seeing me help Concubine Demu to come, she sent me and Xue Po to plant flowers without saying a few words.

Xue Po who put on a light summer shirt was not very happy, said: "I'm just about to finish the water-colored cloud-pattern silk shirt today, wouldn't it be a waste to walk around in the mud."

The Empress Dowager frowned, not looking angry, "When did you become so squeamish? Didn't you teach you to farm and weave, and water would stain your sleeves?"

Xue Po didn't like to talk back, so he said sullenly: "Then I'll go back and change into the head office."

After Xue Po left, Concubine Demu accompanied her with a smile, and said: "The Empress Dowager doesn't have to be too strict, the Empress Dowager is honored by gold and jade, and she was born as a dragon and phoenix among human beings. It doesn't matter if you do these small things or not."

The queen mother really sighed a bit, held the shower and said: "No matter what your background, you only enjoy the blessings and do not suffer. Aijia has lived to this age, but I have never seen it. I am not afraid of my sister's jokes. Watching her day It's like a day, and Aijia is always worried that she was too arrogant and indulged in the past, and her growth was too smooth, and it was difficult to weather the storm."

Concubine Demu also smiled and said: "No, Empress Xuepo is the youngest child of the first emperor, and she has already reached the age of the emperor. It's really amazing. Also, I heard that the matter of Empress Lingxi has been settled, really Congratulations to the Queen Mother."

The queen mother was already indifferent, and said: "Children are debts, I just hope everything goes well for her this time."

Concubine Demu said: "Other courtiers and concubines don't understand, the only thing is, when the child has set a date, you have to call the branch, we old sisters still have some things that have been accumulated for her at the bottom of the box."

The Queen Mother laughed instead, and said: "She should be filial to you. The elder sisters should keep things for themselves. Lingxi has Aijia to buy them."

Concubine Demu also laughed, and said: "You are out of touch with what you said. Doesn't Lingxi call me 'Concubine Mu'? Not only her, but even Huai Shu, Xue Po's share, I have already prepared for it." alright."

The queen mother raised her eyes and looked at me, her tone was quite gentle, and said: "You have already taken off your clothes in May, and you are 17 years old now, the Ai family can no longer take care of the girl." At the end, it was already a bit joking .Although I have developed a thick skin, I still have to hide my face "shyly" in front of my aunt, saying that I watered the flowers and left the two ladies who regard the marriage of the younger generation as a great interest for the rest of their lives.
