In love with the enchanting senior brother: the lady strikes

On the sixth day of February, I went to Beijing with my father and elder brother to celebrate the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday.

Along the way, my elder brother took my hand and babbled like a woman: "Rong'er, it's your first time entering the palace, you have to behave yourself, speak carefully and keep your words..."

"Rong'er, if you want to come to the Holy Spirit, you have to stay with me for lunch with your father. You are an unmarried female family member, so you are not allowed to stay to serve the Holy Lord's banquet... You go home and learn embroidery, don't run around..."

My mother left early, and it was not easy for my elder brother to be both an elder brother and a mother. Therefore, as soon as I entered the palace gate, I remembered my elder brother's instructions and performed the dignified and elegant lady of the great family to perfection.

But, alas, maybe I acted so well. Among all the female relatives, I was the only one who got the favor of the Empress Dowager and gave me lunch in the Palace of Cishou.

【Lady strikes】

In the imperial garden, the trees are verdant, the strange flowers are burning, and the slightly cool wind blows, the dappled lights and shadows are swaying, as if in a dream.

On the Ququ path, I followed the court lady Hanxiang to the Cishou Palace.

"...Forgive...Forgive..." Suddenly, there seemed to be a faint sobbing sound. For a moment, my curiosity and truth-seeking heart suddenly arose, and I quietly slowed down my pace.

Behind the strange stone rockery, surrounded by flowers and trees, a young man in yellow robes is sitting beside a white marble table, his appearance is not clear in the shadow of mottled flowers and trees, only the ivory folding fan in his hand, which depicts the mountains and flowing water, is shaking. The wind is rustling, very chic.

A line of court ladies and eunuchs knelt in front of the young man in yellow robe. For some reason, he withdrew his fan suddenly and kicked a young eunuch in the heart. made a sound.

I was shocked, even though the lives of slaves in the palace are the most worthless, how could such a bold person blatantly use lynching?

The soft voice of the palace maid Han Xiang suddenly sounded: "Miss Ye, it's getting late, and this servant is afraid that the Empress Dowager will be waiting in a hurry!"

What should I do if I was caught peeping?

Hee, I, Ye Rongying, turned around and smiled calmly: "I'm sorry, Auntie, it was Ye Rong who was abrupt."

Han Xiang was taken aback for a while, then Fushen said: "Miss Ye is polite..."

Thanks to the good education of my father and elder brother, I didn't make a lot of jokes during the lunch in Cishou Palace.

However, after lunch, the Empress Dowager took my hand affectionately, first asked about my age and living expenses, and then said: "The Ai family has been in the palace for a long time, and it is very boring. My daughter-in-law, What kind of fun do you young people have in your spare time, and tell me, an old woman, too?"

I smiled dignifiedly: "Back to the Empress Dowager, years ago, the servant girl drew an embroidered appearance of a proud snow plum, and recently I was thinking about whether it is better to embroider green plums or red plums..."

Alas, I am good at walking horses, looking at flowers, fighting crickets, climbing trees, going down rivers, and touching crickets. But when it comes to embroidery, I can't even embroider a big cake. How can I embroider cold plums!

However, although I can't figure out what the old lady's purpose in rewarding me with lunch is, I know one thing. This old lady has lived smoothly for most of her life in the intriguing harem, and finally became the queen mother, enjoying the rest of her life , must not be simple.

Therefore, I weighed it, if I said it bluntly, losing the face of my father and elder brother would be a minor matter, but causing disasters to the family would be a major matter, so it's better to be well-behaved.

The old lady smiled kindly: "Daughter Rong has a handsome appearance and a soft and gentle temper. She is really a good girl!"

I blushed slightly, and said with a shy smile: "The empress dowager is absurd, Ye Rong is too ashamed to take it!"

【Lady strikes】

When I went out of the palace gate and saw my elder brother, I learned that the queen mother urgently called for my father.

I was very surprised: "The old lady invited me to dinner first, and then talked to my father again, what is on her mind?"

The eldest brother gently took my hand: "Don't worry Rong'er, it's not a bad thing."

Well, I have been loyal and brave to the Emperor Ye's family for more than a hundred years, except that my father wants to marry me a stepmother, nothing will happen to me.

I smiled reassuringly, and mentioned the matter of the imperial garden to my elder brother, who pondered for a long time before saying: "The young man in yellow robe must be the third prince Xue Piao."
