Love on the Pillow: Pampering the Unscrupulous Queen

Chapter 7

After the carriage stopped, Su Qing got out of the carriage slowly with the support of Shi Shu and Shi Qin.

"Miss Su, the Empress Dowager is in the imperial garden, please come with the slaves." An older nun smiled slightly after seeing Su Qing.

"Nurse Sun, please lead the way." Su Qing smiled gently after seeing the nun.

Grandma Sun is an old man next to the Queen Mother, so it is a great honor to come out to pick her up.

A group of people walked through the corridor and walked along the bluestone path for a while, and saw that the garden in front was crowded with flowers, and the clothes and temples were fragrant among the palace people.

Many aristocratic daughters have also arrived, all dressed in gorgeous clothes and with outstanding appearance.

Standing among these beauties, Su Qing was still the most dazzling one in the crowd.

The Empress Dowager was sitting on a soft chair and was talking to a few wives around her. When she turned her head and saw Su Qing, the smile on her face became more real.

Empress Dowager Su has also experienced two dynasties now, so she doesn't know what these young ladies are thinking.It's just that these precautions are not a hindrance, and she doesn't bother to pay attention to them.

"Girl Li, come here. Let Ai's family take a good look at you." The queen mother beckoned for Su Qing to walk over.

Although the Empress Dowager Su is the younger sister of Mrs. Su, the difference between the two is nearly 20 years. She is only in her 40s now, but she is in her prime.

It has to be said that the Su family is indeed a beauty.Although the Empress Dowager Su is over [-] years old, she is still magnificent, dignified and majestic, and the royal demeanor of the world is quite difficult to look directly at.

Su Qing didn't ignore the jealous eyes, either open or dark, but she still walked gracefully and calmly through the crowd to the Queen Mother, and slightly bowed to salute: "Su Qing has seen the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Su nodded, stretched out her hand to pull Su Qing up and down for a look, and then nodded with a smile: "It's a sign of getting more and more girl Li."

A few concubines beside her also jokingly said: "The empress dowager is born with unique eyesight, and has always loved Li girl since she was a child. Li girl was also a beauty since she was a child, but she didn't expect that she has grown into a fairy-like figure now. Looking at it, the Ai family has a bit of the demeanor of the empress dowager in the past."

"What Concubine Mei said is that, after looking at it from Ai's family, Li girl's eyebrows and eyes are really similar to those of the Empress Dowager, no wonder she looks more and more beautiful." Another concubine also laughed.

"The concubine saw Miss Su's emerald emerald face from a distance, but when this person came up to him, she realized that it was Miss Su's heavenly fragrance and beauty, which made her face pale." Mrs. Shangshu also followed suit. road.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Su Qing has been favored by the Queen Mother, maybe she will be the future Crown Princess or even the Queen, when will she not hold her at this time?

Su Qing lowered her eyes slightly: "The concubines and wives have praised you, Su Qing is ashamed."

"Come, come, come, and the rest of the girls are also coming. The flowers in the imperial garden are almost in bloom, you guys also come to accompany Ai's family to have a look." The queen mother smiled, and she didn't want anyone around her after she got up. The palace servants supported him, and let Su Qing help him directly.

"Now it's only the beginning of March, and the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming so lively. It can be seen that the Queen Mother's mother loves the world, and even the flowers in this garden are grateful for the emperor's kindness, and they bloomed early. "Wang Qiang, the daughter of Prime Minister Wang's family, flattered her with a white jade hand warmer.

The queen mother looked back at her, and said with a smile: "You are the most talkative among the girls. The flowers in the imperial garden were all watered with hot spring water by the crown prince a month ago, which made the flowering period earlier. It's just that the flowering period is earlier. It will inevitably make Jiaohua suffer from the cold. The Ai family also does not want this imperial garden to be bleak, so they asked you girls to accompany the Ai family for a stroll."

When Su Qing heard the word prince, she froze for a moment, and then said: "You are a flower lover, empress dowager, so you naturally take pity on these flowers. But the prince is a pure, kind and filial person, and only wants to make you happy, empress dowager. But you forgot to obey the laws of nature. However, it is also the prince's filial piety to you."

When the Empress Dowager Su heard the words, she laughed and pointed Su Qing's forehead with her finger: "You know that. The crown prince is the grandson of the Ai family. Can the Ai family not know about him?"

Su Qing pursed her lips and smiled, and said nothing.

Wang Qiang, who was next to her, handed over the hand stove in her hand to the maid next to her in a fit of anger, and tightly twisted the handkerchief in her hand.

The garden is now full of flowers, colorful and beautiful.

"Although the flowers in this garden are beautiful, they are no more eye-catching than these girls. The Ai family also ordered someone to make some silk flowers for you some time ago, but the silk flowers of the Ai family are not for nothing." The queen mother paused He stepped down and said with a smile, everyone had already walked to a warm pavilion full of flowers in the imperial garden.

"The Ai family can use this silk flower to make a lottery. The girls can just show what talents they have, so that the Ai family can appreciate it." The Empress Dowager Su smiled slightly.

The palace people outside the Nuan Pavilion immediately opened the Nuan Pavilion, and everyone looked at it, and there were various things such as pens, ink, paper and inkstone, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

The noble ladies had already prepared to enter the palace, and they also guessed that the Empress Dowager would test their talents, so they were not surprised to see the things in the warm pavilion.

"The little girl is not talented, and only one hand of calligraphy can barely catch the eye. I hope the Queen Mother will not be offended." Wang Qiang stood up first and said.

The queen mother nodded calmly: "Well, the paper and pen will serve you."

Immediately, there were palace people grinding and paving the paper, but the concubines nearby were not interested.They were all elites in the palace, and they could tell at a glance that today's queen mother wanted Su Qing to show off, but this Wang Qiang just wanted to dominate Su Qing in everything, so it would be strange to win the favor of the queen mother.

After Wang Qiang splashed the ink for a while, everyone stepped forward to see that Wang Qiang's calligraphy is indeed not bad, the willow style in one hand is elegant and flexible, soft and yet elegant, it is indeed a good calligraphy.

The queen mother nodded again and again when she saw it: "It is true that it does not disgrace your father, Prime Minister Wang's reputation. It is really not bad. I am afraid that few people can match this willow style."

Wang Qiang raised the corners of her lips slightly: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your compliment."

"Appreciate the flowers." The Empress Dowager said, and there was a palace man next to her holding an extremely delicate silk flower. The stamen in the middle of the silk flower was carved with gold and silver threads.

When Wang Qiang got the flowers, she immediately ordered the maid beside her to put the silk flowers in her temples.Seeing her, Empress Dowager Su smiled and praised: "Sure enough, she is more charming than Hua."

There are also ladies from Shangshu's family who paint with brushes, and ladies from Guogong's family who dance on the spot...they also got silk flowers.

When it was Su Qing's turn, the Empress Dowager turned her head to look at her, and said with a smile: "Li girl, Ai's family knows about it, and she is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. How are you going to please Ai's family?"

Su Qing thought for a while, then leaned slightly and said: "Su Qing got a piano score recently, although she hasn't studied it thoroughly, she is willing to give it a try."

In fact, that piano score was found and given to her by Feng Jun in her previous life. At that time, she also felt like a treasure, studied it repeatedly, and when she was finally able to perform it perfectly, there was no listening to the piano by her side. people.

Su Qing stretched out her hand, hooked the strings of the qin lightly, and the qin rang. The slightly low sound showed that it was definitely a rare and good qin.
