After experiencing the shock of the crowd that night, Meiberry and the others did not go out again the next day.

But just because she didn't go out didn't mean she could lie down and pick her feet. Xie Changxuan sent a nanny to teach palace etiquette.

As a last-ditch mentality, Mei Bei and Mei You spent that day practicing the moves of meeting the Queen Mother and the Emperor over and over again.

While practicing salutes, Meiberry cursed this evil feudal society.

Suddenly, I understood the ridiculous actions that the quirky heroines in the TV series I watched in the past made to avoid these salutes.

As a result, they only practiced for one day, and the eunuch who announced the decree came the next day.

Xuan Meiyou and Mei Bei entered the palace immediately, and the carriages were ready outside.

Seeing this posture, Mei Mei and Mei You also became a little nervous.

This is equivalent to wanting to see the top leader immediately.

I clearly remembered the rules I learned yesterday, but now I am so nervous that I have completely forgotten them!

Mei Berry secretly glanced at Mei You's confident look and couldn't help but praise her for being calm and composed, but she still wanted to praise our heroine!

As a result, Mei You waited until the eunuch who delivered the message left and suddenly turned to look at Mei Bei and asked: "What are we going to do next? Change clothes or put on makeup?"

Plum Berry: "...?"

Ah, good question.

She doesn't know either.

Fortunately, at the last moment, the nanny sent by Xie Changxun yesterday came to the rescue again and helped Mei Mei and Mei You dress up again.

While washing and dressing up, she did not forget to give detailed instructions on the process of paying homage to the Queen Mother, and took the trouble to talk to Mei Bei and the others in an attempt to strengthen the impression on them.

Probably knowing that the two of them were not used to gorgeous and complicated clothes, Mammy tried her best to match them with simple and elegant clothes without losing etiquette.

Dressed up like this, until she got on the carriage, Mei Bei stared at Mei You's face and still hadn't come back to her senses.

"Look at what?"

"Look, sister, you look good."

Although Mei You's foundation is not bad, her makeup skills are good, which really gives people a different feeling.

Meiyou is like a dusty pearl, now that the dust has been wiped off, it shines brightly again.

After being praised by Mei Berry, Mei You couldn't keep his face expressionless. He curled his lips and said, "You are also very good-looking."

"Hehe~"

Meiberry's reaction was even more straightforward. When people complimented her on her beauty, she happily accepted it.

Seeing Mei Berry's expression, Mei You felt inexplicably bright.

It seems that there is nothing to fear in the palace.

After entering the palace, the two of them got on the soft sedan and were carried into the harem by the palace people.

It wasn't until after getting off the sedan chair that Mei Bei looked up and glanced at the plaque hanging on Ci'an Palace that she realized that she had arrived at the Queen Mother's residence so quickly.

There was no buffer at all. She wished she could walk on the road for a while after entering the palace to calm down her mood.

Meiberry couldn't help but hold her breath, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

"You two ladies, please come with me. The Queen Mother is taking a nap, please wait a moment."

A young woman's voice came, and when Mei Berry looked up, she saw a beautiful but serious young woman standing at the palace gate looking at them with lowered eyebrows.

Mei Bei glanced at her side from the corner of her eyes. The palace attendants who had brought the sedan just now had already stepped back.

It seems that they really have no second choice.

"Excuse me."

Meiyou and Meibei remembered the etiquette taught by the previous nanny, and Yilan took a second look at the way that the palace people next to the Queen Mother were also polite.

Show respect without being flattery.

Yi Lan turned sideways to welcome Mei Mei and Mei You in. After the two entered, Yi Lan took them into a room and sat down.

But if there weren't palace people around all the time, Mei Bei would have lost her temper and look around to look at her surroundings.

After the palace servants came to serve tea, Aunt Yilan who brought them in left. Upon seeing this, Mei Bei picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Very good, wild boars can't eat fine chaff.

She didn't even notice the difference between the tea in the palace and the fine tea outside.

In fact, Mei Berry felt that the tea beside Yang Qingyue was not as delicious.

Ever since, Meiberry started to feel dazed after taking a sip of tea.The corner of Mei Bei's eyes kept falling on the eunuch Gong'e at the door. They all lowered their heads and did not dare to take another look. They stood there quietly like wood carvings and clay sculptures.

No matter how she looked at it, she felt that this palace was extremely depressing.

After about half a cup of tea, Yi Lan, who had led them in before, finally appeared again, saying that he was taking them towards the main hall of Ci'an Palace.

Along the way, Yi Lan had no intention of mentioning anything. Mei You couldn't help but frown when she saw this.

It wasn't until she was almost at the entrance of the main hall that Aunt Yilan stood still and said to Mei Bei and the others in a low voice, "The Queen Mother doesn't like to make noise, and I ask the two young ladies not to be surprised after entering."

There is no etiquette reminder for this reminder. Do you really reassure them, or do you want to deliberately make them look embarrassed or show off their power?

However, they disappointed the other party. After entering the palace, Mei Pei and Mei You saluted the Queen Mother who was sitting at the top according to the manner taught by their aunt.

From the beginning to the end, Mei Bei didn't see clearly what the Queen Mother looked like, and the other party didn't raise her head or say anything.

Mei Bei and the others knelt down and bowed. When they lowered their eyebrows and closed their eyes, they only saw each other's exquisite pair of satin shoes.

I don’t know which one is more luxurious, the Shu brocade shoes in the TV series or the Queen Mother’s brocade shoes inlaid with gems.

While Mei Bei was distracted, the Queen Mother shouted. Following the voice, Mei Bei stood up and raised her head slightly to glance at the Queen Mother.

After just one glance, Mei Bei secretly sighed that this Queen Mother was really graceful and well-maintained.

Finally, Meiberry withdrew her gaze and fell on the opponent's hand.

I saw that the other party was holding a handful of bodhi beads in his hand, and his nails were trimmed to be round and harmless. There was neither a cover nor a pill on them.

No matter how he looks, he doesn't look like a difficult person to get along with.

However, from the moment she excused herself to now, the Queen Mother has remained silent.

"How old are you two this year?"

After a while, he asked slowly.

"Returning to the Queen Mother, the two civilian girls are both 14 years old this year."

After Mei You finished speaking, the Queen Mother was surprised: "Oh? Can you kill the Tatar leader at the age of 14?"

"That was due to the hard work of all the soldiers. The Tatar leader was only at the end of his strength and was killed by the girl by luck."

Meiyou said a few humble words, while Meiberry stood aside and acted like a fool.

As a result, after the queen mother finished asking Meiyou, she focused her attention on Meiberry again.

"I heard that you, Mei Qi, can pierce the Yangtze River with a hundred steps and shoot many Tatars out of the city gate when they sneak attack Yue Liao!"

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, the girl of the people was shooting arrows with many warriors at that time. It was not the girl of the people who took the credit alone."

Meiberry only dared to speak modestly. After speaking, she continued to lower her head, looking nervous and afraid and unwilling to say anything.

The queen mother called them all the way here and didn't know what to do.

It's better to pretend to be dead. After all, she pretended to be like this, and the Queen Mother probably wouldn't want to communicate with her anymore, right?

She was complaining in her heart when she heard the Queen Mother ask again: "The Ai family asked you to come to Beijing. Firstly, they want to see what the legendary women who fought against the Tatars are like. Secondly, they also want to ask what you want." What kind of reward.”

Huh?
Mei Bei was stunned for a moment, then raised her head and glanced at the kind-hearted Queen Mother, and blinked.

Is it really that simple?
Just meet once, give a reward in person and then disappear?

The key point is that Meiberry hasn't thought about what she wants?

It was probably because Mei Berry's expression was too conspicuous, and the Queen Mother caught her eye immediately, so she insisted on letting Mei Berry speak first.

Plumberry: 0.0
"Reporting to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, when the people's daughter and the people's daughter were crossing Liao, the county magistrate had already given many rewards, and the people's daughter no longer had any rewards that she wanted."

"Really? In that case, how about becoming a female court official next to the Ai family?"

"what?"

Mei Bei was dumbfounded by the Queen Mother's question, but she was thinking in her heart: She didn't want to enter this palace and become a person who looked like a wood carving and clay sculpture!
"What? Could it be that you don't want to?"

The Queen Mother's eyes suddenly turned cold when she looked at Mei Bei. After Mei Bei regained consciousness, she immediately knelt down and said, "Reporting to the Queen Mother, the daughter of the people once swore to stay with her sister to help her expel the Tatars and restore stability to our Dacheng border. .”

"Help your sister expel the Tatars?"

As expected, the Queen Mother also knew what was important. She turned to Mei You and said in surprise: "No wonder Gu Hou wanted to make an exception and recruit you to serve in the army. It turns out that you, a girl, want to make contributions like a man?"

It was hard to tell whether the Queen Mother was happy or angry in her tone.

Meiberry couldn't help but raise her head to meet the cold eyes of the superior looking at the two sisters, and her body began to tremble...

Mayberry: This wave is going to kill me!
