The ugly daughter-in-law of the farm gate: the sweet wife of the husband in the mountains

Chapter 318 Dedication
Ye Xi looked outside the side hall, the guards outside were heavily guarded, they could only stay in the side hall, and could not walk freely in the Chonghua hall.

Thinking about how she saw guards and palace people everywhere during the journey, she felt very pessimistic about entering the palace today.

Even if he could see the emperor from a distance, it would be too difficult to strike up a conversation.

If you still want to see the emperor alone, I'm afraid it will be as difficult as climbing the sky.There are always so many people around, it's hard to say which ones are arranged by the Wei family.

Looking out from the window, one could see many people entering Chonghua Hall one after another.

The Empress Dowager's birthday, orders from various prefectures in the capital, and relatives of the royal family, I am afraid that they will all come.

"Don't worry, we have to wait for the banquet before going to see the Queen Mother!" Qin said.

Although the tournament is scheduled for today, what is more important today is the Queen Mother's birthday.So, naturally they have to wait.

They always have to wait for the guests to arrive and pay respects to the Queen Mother before it will be their turn.

"It's my first time entering the palace, so I'm a little nervous." Ye Xi took a sip of tea.

After waiting for a while, some palace servants came to invite them to the main hall.

Stepping into the main hall, the palace servants first led them to pay respects to all the nobles in the palace.The emperor, queen mother and concubine Wei are all present.

Ye Xi slightly raised his eyes to look at the position above, the emperor in dragon robe looked very haggard, even the dragon robe on his body didn't fit well.

He had probably been ill for quite a while, and it wasn't just the Wei family's excuses, maybe the emperor was really seriously ill.

Because after the empress passed away, there was no new empress in the palace, and Concubine Wei had always been in charge of the six palaces, so Concubine Wei sat beside the emperor, as if she was treated like an empress.

After all, the palace has its own maintenance methods, Wei Guifei still looks very young, and she is extremely beautiful.

It's no wonder that the favor has not faded for so many years, one is the friendship with the emperor's childhood sweetheart, and the other is because of Wei Guifei's appearance!

The Empress Dowager looks like a bodhisattva with benevolent eyebrows and eyes, perhaps because she has been worshiping the Buddha all the year round, she seems to be shrouded in a kind of light.

After the salute, the Fighting Championship officially began.Each family came forward one after another to present brocade pictures.

The emperor ordered people to hang up the brocade pictures of each family, so that everyone in the hall could see clearly.

When it was the Gu family's turn, it was the Qin family who brought Ye Xi to present the brocade picture.When unfolding the brocade picture, Ye Xi purposely revealed Zhou Jingqing's token to her.

I just don't know if the emperor will notice her.

Ye Xi carefully looked at the brocade pictures presented by the families, because they all wanted to please the Queen Mother, and the patterns were more or less related to Buddha.

Many guests commented on it, but many people paid attention to the brocade pictures of the Gu family and the Wen family.

If it is as expected, the winner of today's Fighting Championship will be selected from the two.

After listening to everyone's comments, the emperor asked the empress dowager what she meant.

"Today I'm all smiling for the Queen Mother. It's up to the Queen Mother to decide what these brocade pictures are like."

The picture of Wen's family shows Guanyin, the Buddha's radiance, and children playing in various poses.

It is a very attractive picture, even Ye Xi finds it very interesting.

And the weaving is very exquisite, which is quite a feeling that makes people's eyes shine.

The Empress Dowager stared at the Jintu of the Wen family for a few more times, and there seemed to be some complicated emotions in those eyes.

After looking at the brocade pictures of the Wen family, the queen mother looked at the brocade pictures of the Gu family, and even took a few more glances at Ye Xi.

"What's the name of this picture?" The Queen Mother asked after a while.

Ye Xi hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "It's called the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, and what it depicts is the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss."

"It's a good idea. The most rare thing in the world is bliss. The Ai family looks at this picture very well, and it can be hung in Ai's bedroom from now on."

Hearing what the queen mother said, the emperor naturally didn't have to ask any more.

Everyone naturally knew that the Queen Mother had chosen this painting of "Elysium".

"However, the Ai family thought that it should be hung in the Huguo Temple. But I don't know if the Gu family can weave a bigger one?" The Queen Mother suddenly asked.

Qin was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't expect the Queen Mother to say that suddenly.

Although the queen mother affirmed the picture of the Gu family, she was naturally ecstatic.

But for the larger brocade picture, the flower book needs to be made separately, which is not an easy task.

It's a dilemma, so I agreed, if I can't hand over the brocade map when the time comes, I can't afford it.

But if he should not come down, wouldn't he offend the Queen Mother if he wanted to be in court?Not only did he offend the Queen Mother, but everyone in the hall felt that the Gu family was ignorant.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the most important thing in brocade weaving is to make the flower book. If the size of the picture is different, the flower book will also be different. If we want to re-make the flower book weaving, please allow more time for the Queen Mother." Ye Xi said.

Since it's just zooming in on this picture, it shouldn't be difficult to remake the flower book.

She has already made the flower book of Paradise of Elysium once, and it should be handy to do it again.

What's more, with so many capable people in the Gu family, she can always ask Gu Qingzhou to find a few more people to help her.

In the current situation, I couldn't tolerate them not agreeing.

When the results of the tournament came out, all the participating families also withdrew from the main hall.

The palace servants were about to lead them out of the palace, but one of the palace servants chased them out, saying that it was the empress dowager who ordered the Gu family to wait in the side hall first, and the empress dowager would summon them when the birthday banquet was over.

Qin's face showed joy for a moment.Being able to be summoned by the Queen Mother in person is naturally a good thing that others cannot envy.

For a while, the faces of other family members were not very good-looking.

On the way here, I could exchange some pleasantries, because at that time the result of the tournament was unpredictable.Everyone comes with confidence, and they can smile naturally when facing their opponents.

Now that the results are out, it is inevitable that the Gu family will win the championship, so it is inevitable that I feel a little uncomfortable.

Some even said "Congratulations", while others walked away with heavy faces.

People from other families had left, so Qin and Ye Xi went to wait in the side hall.

Ye Xi was slightly relieved to have the opportunity to meet the Queen Mother.

She was really worried that she would go out of the palace with people from other families, and that would be a waste of time today.

In the end, she still misjudged the situation in the palace. She thought that there were so many people in the palace that she might be able to find a little room for her own actions.

But it was only when he really came that he realized that the palace was really struggling.

Especially since they are from outside the palace, the people in the palace will never let them walk.

If you want to have a little freedom, unless you are a palace servant in the palace.

I just don't know if I can gain something from meeting the Queen Mother.

She is not at ease here, and the situation on Jingqing's side is no better than hers.

"What do you think the Empress Dowager is staying with us for?" Qin asked suddenly.
