Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 122 Meeting the Empress Dowager in Juxian Tower
Beijing,

Ouchi Imperial Palace,

Harem Gathering Tower,
Zhang Jinyu also followed the two female historians step by step, and entered the first floor of the attic.

There is almost nothing on the huge and empty first floor, and almost no one is there. There are only a few servants guarding the entrance. I thought there would be various compartments or some new gadgets.

Disappointed, Zhang Jinyu followed up to the second floor, and saw that the entire interior of the attic was larger than the first floor. In the previous life, several large flat floors were not enough for this floor, and it was made of solid wood floors, full of rosin. And the smell of aromatherapy, refreshing.

Moreover, the partitions and curtains inside the attic can't be seen at a glance, and there are also many court ladies and eunuchs running around there, not knowing what they are busy with.

Of course, continue to go upstairs. On the third floor, there are so many delicious fruits and delicacies that Zhang Jinyu swallows his saliva. What should I do if I am a little thirsty? The voice of Yingying Yanyan upstairs did not dare to be too presumptuous, it was simple.

Enduring hunger and thirst, smelling the incense, and passing by a table full of fruits and some tea, I couldn't help but stop and pick up the tea bowl and drink it, temporarily relieving the urgent need.

Continuing to go up to the upper floor helplessly, the place on the fifth floor is not too big but there is a viewing corridor, and there are rows of seats with blankets in a circle, and I don’t know what they are for. Go up to the sixth floor.

When we reached the sixth floor, it was suddenly bright and full of light, and there was a large partition blocking the entrance gate. Zhang Jinyu wiped his sweat slightly and straightened his clothes.

Suddenly I thought about it, as the saying goes, women can hold grudges better than men, but it is best to coax them, anyway, I have knelt down once, this time is not bad, I can only see the tricks, so I bowed my head and strode forward went in.

When I came to the main hall, I didn't pay attention. There were two noble ladies in bright yellow palace clothes sitting in the middle. If they didn't run away, this is the real master. They knelt down in the middle and shouted loudly;

"Chen, Luo Yunhou Zhang Jinyu pays homage to the queen mother and queen, wishing the queen mother good fortune such as the East China Sea and longevity in Nanshan, and wishing the queen immortal happiness and eternal youth. Chen Luo Yunhou has long worshiped you two sages, just like the water of Na'an Lake It is endless, and it is like the flood of the water transport river, which is out of control."

As soon as the words fell, apart from Zhang Jinyu secretly observing there,

The concubines on the entire attic were suddenly extremely quiet, they all stared blankly at this handsome and mighty young general in armor, this roar was hard to see in a hundred years, it was simply unheard of.

The empress dowager and the empress were also stunned, and it was also strange. It was the first time they saw a general who visited him like this, and their interest was immediately aroused, and they didn't let him get up, so the empress dowager asked with a smile;

"You little monkey, have you seen Aijia before? Do you know what kind of wise things Aijia does, and you can still talk about the water in Anhu Lake?"

Zhang Jinyu didn't dare to raise her head, but only heard the voice, she was a little too old, so she should be the Queen Mother. After thinking about it, she said,
"Back to the Queen Mother, I heard my mother often say that the Queen Mother is kind, and that the Queen Mother takes special care of the courtiers' families and will help them when they are in trouble. Therefore, I especially admire the Queen Mother, but it is as continuous as the water of the Anhu Lake."

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager had a vicissitudes of smile on her face. This is the only thing she has been able to do in her life. I didn't expect that even your juniors outside the customs would remember it. It's rare.

"Get up, stop kneeling, by the way, who is your mother?"

Only then did Zhang Jinyu stand up, stamped her numb shoulders, and subconsciously looked around, "Fuck me, so many beauties are top-notch ones, which are rare to see normally."

There are so many beauties today, I just watched what I did, Zhang Jinyu quickly looked back, they are all the emperor's women, envious.

"Back to the queen mother, the minister's mother is Wang Shihan from the Jinling family in the south of the Yangtze River."

The Empress Dowager did not expect that the mother of the Hou Mansion outside the pass was actually from Jiangnan. The one whose surname is Wang in Jinling is the Wang family.

Empress Jiang Yuqing was also there to observe Zhang Jinyu's every move. Seeing him secretly looking at the concubines around him, there was no lust in his eyes, and it was funny that he turned his eyes back with a little blush.
"Well, that's right, I asked you, please explain what's going on with me, how the river of water transport you said was flooded out of control."

Zhang Jinyu heard a mellow and delicate voice, don't ask, it's the second in command, it should be the queen asking, I'm just being polite, why keep asking, it's absolutely impossible.

Zhang Jinyu wiped his sweat nervously, thinking quickly, what did the queen say, his brain almost went down, and suddenly thought that the queen must inherit the same lineage as the queen mother, so he had to worry about it.

"Of course, I also admire the empress, and I speak from the bottom of my heart. I heard that the empress often asks the House of Internal Affairs to distribute food and porridge. Countless people have survived. The refugees outside the city and the water transport have spread all over the world. I have also heard the empress's benevolence outside the customs. Wise and wise, you must have admired him for a long time."

The queen also nodded with a smile, not to mention that there is such a thing, it is good to say,
"Even if you will say, pass the test, Qiuye Dongmei, move a stool for Luo Yunhou, I must be tired from running down there."

"Yes, madam!"

I saw the two beauties in palace costumes move a stool over and put it down before going back. Zhang Jinyu said thank you, but she was not polite. The concubine laughed faintly when she saw it.

The queen and the queen mother also looked at each other when they saw each other. It was true enough. The queen had sent someone downstairs to watch their every move before they came. Even the second daughter knew about the jade pendant, so she wanted to I'm exploring.

"Oh, Lord Hou just sat down like this?"

Zhang Jinyu was taken aback by the question, how could she sit down if she didn't sit like this? Could it be that she sat down slowly, this woman has too many things to do.

"I just sat down like this. I don't understand what your empress means. Is it because I'm sitting in the wrong posture?"

"Pfft,"

Suppressing a laugh, the surrounding concubines couldn't hold back and laughed out loud. The empress dowager glanced around, and the surrounding concubines immediately stopped talking.

"Bengong didn't say that you were seated wrongly, but that the other two female historians around Bengong came to move stools for you and didn't even give you a meeting gift. You gave them all to show you the way downstairs."

Chun He and Xia Yu, after hearing what the queen said, their faces paled and they knelt down,

"The maidservant did not dare to atone for her sin."

"Get up, it's none of your business."

The second daughter just stood up and looked at herself worriedly. Zhang Jinyu was also a little confused. What was the meaning of this? There are so many eyes here, are you tired? Just give me another one.

"It's my fault. I forgot to give the two elder sisters a meeting gift. These are the other two jade pendants. Your Majesty, how nice are you? I happen to have only four jade pendants. Unexpectedly, there are also four female historians in the Empress Palace. It is a blessing from God." ah."

After finishing speaking, he quickly took out the other two jade pendants, held them in his hands and stretched them forward. Seeing this, Qiuye and Dongmei turned to look at the queen. The queen nodded. I was relieved when the things were taken away, this hand is really soft, it just costs money.

I wanted to sit down, but saw that the queen was still staring at her before she spoke. Zhang Jinyu sat awkwardly and was either standing or standing.

It suddenly occurred to me that all the maids would be useless if they had the rightful master. Grandma’s, there was still Yueshi’s precious Dongzhu outside Guanwai, so she gritted her teeth and took out Dongzhu and held two of them in her hand.
"I have almost forgotten that I have a love name for collecting treasures outside the pass. This is the treasure of the Jurchen Khan tent that I captured after the victory in the Battle of Pingyang. It is said that it is the holy lake of Yuezhi, a special product of the North Sea seabed, and the North Sea East. Pearls are rare in the world, and I happen to have two of them, which are specially given to the empress dowager and empress."

"Oh, it's actually this thing. Take it here to see if it's real. I've heard of it, but I haven't seen the real thing."

Zhang Jinyu didn't know what he wanted after hearing it, it's a big loss.

"The Empress Dowager, this thing is a gift from heaven, it is a rare treasure, especially under the sunlight and moonlight, it is extremely bright. Please take a look, the Empress Dowager and the Empress."

After speaking, Zhang Jinyu went to the attic window, opened the window, and the sun came in. Zhang Jinyu put his hands in the sun, and spread his hands, revealing eggs the size of beads.

This bead is enchanting and round, with clear natural flowing texture, crystal clear and flexible overall, light-transmitting and radiant, and immediately shines brightly under the sunshine, like two small suns, and the bead seems to be surrounded by mist, and the cloud is lifelike when viewed from the front. Moreover, the beads gradually become warm and warm, which is more suitable for people with cold body to wear.

The concubines around all showed longing expressions, and some showed jealous expressions there, but they disappeared in a flash.

Seeing this, Concubine Wu Guifei had a lot of thoughts and wanted it too, but she lost her mind when she heard that there were only two of this thing, but since Luo Yunhou can get two, he can get the third one, so he is thinking of a way.

There are not a few concubines who have such thoughts, and they all stare closely at the Beihai Dongzhu in Luo Yunhou's hands.

The queen was also very surprised, it really was a fetish, and she was interrupted by the queen dowager just as she was about to speak.

"Put it away, what are you showing off, Dawu has never seen it before, it's just a glowing bead, it's not so bright without light."

"Back to the queen mother, yes, when there is no light, it is the same as Ye Mingzhu."

Zhang Jinyu hurriedly took hold of the bead, but the bead was still shining, and Zhang Jinyu's hands were illuminated transparently, which is too brave, and of course the concubines were even more envious when they saw it.

"Come back and sit down. This bead is rare in the world and you can't be too greedy. The queen wears one to relieve the cold, and Ai's family won't want it. It's just like that after seeing so many treasures in this life."

"Mother."

After hearing this, the queen dared not ask for it anymore, she just wanted to dissuade her, but was pressed down again by the queen mother. The surrounding concubines thought that they also had the chance to get Dongzhu, and they were all looking forward to it.

"After listening to Ai's family, you take this bead back to your mother, Mrs. Wang. A woman who is alone in the bitter cold outside the pass also needs this bead."

Zhang Jinyu was also very moved after hearing this, the queen mother is really good.

"Thank you Queen Mother Long."
