The apex pet of the black belly

Chapter 86
The next day, the sky was bright and clear, and the temperature of the scorching sun was still so hot. Occasionally, a breeze blew by, making the leaves of the big trees planted outside Xianyun courtyard rustle.

Princess Dingyang sent someone to give Shen Yunyi a set of light purple Shu brocade embroidered skirts with gold threads.

The Shu brocade is smooth and bright, and the lotus pattern is outlined by the gold thread, which is lifelike and swaying. In the middle of the lotus, there are rice-like pearls inlaid, exuding a light luster.

In addition to the skirt, Princess Dingyang also gave a few pearl flowers, which were made of gauze, but the stamens in the middle were either gemstones or pearls, which were elegant and luxurious, very delicate.

There is no woman who does not like beautiful clothes and jewelry, and Shen Yunyi is no exception.

The maid sent by Princess Dingyang not only sent clothes and pearls, but also said that Princess Dingyang asked Shen Yunyi to wear this skirt and these pearls, and she will take her into the palace to visit the Queen Mother later. .

Shen Yunyi was playing with a pink gauze bead flower in her hand, she couldn't put it down, and asked, "Grandma just took me there alone?"

The servant girl replied respectfully, "I would like to report to Miss Fifth, besides you, there is Second Young Master."

Shen Yunyi nodded. In the past, Princess Dingyang usually took Shen Yunyi to the palace alone, but occasionally she would take Shen Wenhao with her.The reason is that Shen Yunyi and Shen Wenhao are twins of dragon and phoenix, which is an auspicious omen, and when they were brought into the palace, the queen mother was delighted to see them.

After the maid left, Shen Yunyi ordered Yuyan and Zisu to dress and comb her hair.

Shen Yunyi was still young, so she didn't need to do any complicated hairstyles. Her hair was simply combed into a small bun, with most of the black strands hanging down and placed on one shoulder. On the side of the bun, she wore three pearl flowers.

After Shen Yunyi dressed up, she went to Princess Dingyang.

When Shen Yunyi arrived, the girls from the first room, the second room and the fourth room had all arrived, and Shen Wenhao was also there.

Shen Yunyi looked at Shen Wenhao, and saw that he was also wearing a blue Shu brocade robe, a jasper belt around his waist, and a purple gold crown on his head, looking regal and wealthy.It's just that Shen Wenhao is not used to this attire, and he always twists his shoulders from time to time.

Shen Yunyi knew exactly what was going on in Shen Wenhao's mind, didn't she just don't like to dress up so formally and felt awkward.

As soon as Shen Yunyi came in, everyone's eyes were on her.

The 12-year-old girl is just green and pleasant, like a growing peach, exuding the unique charm of girls of this age.

Shen Yunyi's facial features are exquisite, her face looks like white porcelain, and she is flawless. She is dressed in a light purple Shu brocade embroidered gold thread skirt that wraps her slender figure. Luxurious.

Shen Yunqing stared at Shen Yunyi with red eyes, more precisely at the Shu brocade worn by Shen Yunyi, "Fifth sister is really blessed. There has always been a saying that one inch of Sichuan brocade is one inch of gold, and now I only have a set of Shu brocade." The Shu brocade used for the clothes is also ordinary. How can it compare to the top-quality Shu brocade that the Fifth Younger Sister wears as a tribute."

Princess Dingyang didn't like Shen Yunqing's sourness, glanced at Shen Yunqing, and said indifferently, "The Shu brocade on Hao'er and Yunyi was given by this princess, do you have an opinion?"

Shen Yunqing gritted his teeth, holding back his bleeding heart, "Don't dare."

Princess Dingyang sneered, not daring, but not knowing.

Zhao's eyes moved back and forth between Shen Yunyi and Shen Wenhao, and suddenly said, "Mother wants to bring Hao'er and Yunyi into the palace to visit the Queen Mother?"

Princess Dingyang's behavior was not hidden from anyone, so everyone knew about it.

Princess Dingyang gave a "hmm" and nodded, "hmm."

Deep resentment welled up in Mrs. Zhao's heart, and the hand holding the handkerchief suddenly tightened two points, "Like Yunrou, Yun Xin has never been to the Palace of Compassion. Why don't mothers open their eyes?"

Zhao shi deliberately left out Shen Yunqing, and instead took Shen Yunrou and Shen Yunxin as the vanguard.As for the two concubines, Shen Yunling and Shen Yunning, Mrs. Zhao would not even mention it.

Shen Yunrou's eyes lit up suddenly, but she didn't dare to look at Princess Dingyang, and looked at Shen Rui with longing and pitiful helplessness.

Shen Yunxin was startled, and Yang said in a panic, "Yun Xin has never been in the palace, if she sees the Empress Dowager, she will lose her manners. Yun Xin still doesn't have to go."

Shen Yunxin also said, "My mother is right, I am not suitable to enter the palace."

Princess Dingyang looked at Mrs. Zhao with a half-smile, which made Mrs. Zhao's heart pounding. Just as she was fidgeting, Princess Dingyang's voice sounded again, "Why are you only talking about others? You gave birth to it yourself. Woolen cloth?"

Zhao Shiqiang pulled out a smile, "It's not that Yunqing has never been in the palace. The concubine Li in the palace likes to love Yunqing as a cousin and niece very much. So it's better to give other people the opportunity to enter the palace."

Concubine Li gave birth to Princess Funing, she is eleven this year, she is very quiet in the palace without fighting.Concubine Li is Zhao's cousin, and the relationship between the two is very good.

Princess Dingyang boasted mockingly, "You are really considerate of others. Who this princess brings into the palace is her business, and it is not up to you to intervene. My heart is sore, I insist on taking others Come out as a shield. This princess told you not to use your careful thoughts on this princess, it’s not enough. It seems that you really didn’t listen to it at all.”

Surprised, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly got up to plead guilty, "Mother, forgive me, I—"

"Okay, stop apologizing. And don't say anything. It's getting late, Haoer, Yunyi, let's go to the palace now."

After Princess Dingyang got up, Shen Wenhao and Shen Yunyi immediately stepped forward to support her, one left and one right, and the three grandparents led a group of servants and left in a mighty way.

Shen Wenhao and Shen Yunyi were sitting in the luxurious carriage of Princess Dingyang. Wind chimes were hung on the four corners of the carriage, and the surroundings were covered with light and light-shielding brocade. It was like a room with everything that one could expect, even an ice basin. Two, so the carriage is very cool and comfortable.

The carriage moved slowly, and Princess Dingyang rested on the carriage with half-closed eyes. Seeing this, Shen Yunyi and Shen Wenhao remained silent.

Shen Wenhao and Shen Yunyi kept making eye contact, you squeezed your eyebrows, I blinked, you moved your shoulders, I poked my fingers, it was not boring along the way.

Shen Guogong's mansion is not far from the location of the imperial palace, and soon arrived at the imperial palace.

Occasionally, a majestic wind blew past and lifted the brocade covering the carriage window. Shen Yunyi looked out and saw that the carriage had stopped outside the palace gate, and a group of soldiers with halberds was about to stop the carriage. When they saw the sign on the carriage, they immediately Withdrawing his movements, he let the carriage go to the palace.

Shen Yunyi knew why, the Empress Dowager loved Princess Dingyang very much, and allowed Princess Dingyang to enter and leave the palace freely without reporting.Therefore, when the soldiers guarding the palace saw the logo of Princess Dingyang on the carriage, they would let it go so easily.

After the carriage entered the palace, it drove all the way. When it reached a glazed screen wall, Princess Dingyang and others got out of the carriage. Immediately, two soft sedan chairs were carried by the palace people to wait.

Princess Dingyang waved at Shen Yunyi, and said softly, "Yunyi, you sit with grandma. Haoer, you sit alone."

Shen Wenhao looked at the soft sedan with some distaste, it was covered with pink gauze, and the corner of his mouth curled up, "Grandmother, I'm a man, I'd better just walk to the Palace of Compassion."

Of course, Shen Wenhao's cautious thought could not be hidden from Princess Dingyang. The latter gave him a meaningful look, and then told the nanny who was guarding the soft sedan chair, "Go get the sliding pole. My princess' grandson doesn't like it." This soft sedan."

Mammy responded, and quickly ordered someone to fetch the sliding pole.

Shen Wenhao couldn't accept the ladylike soft sedan chair, but he could still accept the sliding pole. He grinned and said with a smile, "Thank you, grandma."

Princess Dingyang and Shen Yunyi got into the soft sedan chair without any scruples. Not long after, Shen Wenhao's sliding pole was also carried by two young eunuchs.

Shen Wenhao immediately got on the pole, and soon the group of people headed towards the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

The Compassionate Palace has glazed green tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, and Su's colorful paintings on the brackets.In the spacious courtyard of the Compassion Palace, there are two large vats filled with water, and a copper crane stands on a high platform.The crane is lifelike, standing on one foot, fluttering like a fairy.

In a blink of an eye, Shen Yunyi hadn't been to the Compassion Palace for more than three years.The Compassionate Ning Palace is still as resplendent and resplendent as in memory, without any signs of being outdated.

Emperor Mingkang was extremely filial to the queen mother, and every year he wanted to repair the Palace of Compassion and Ning.The good things that were presented as tribute did not pass from Emperor Mingkang first, but were selected by the Queen Mother before it was Emperor Mingkang's turn.

Emperor Mingkang's behavior fell into the eyes of everyone, who would not give a thumbs up and praise him, saying that he is a rare filial son, and he is even more filial to the Queen Mother.

Soon, an old nanny who was at least sixty or seventy years old walked out quickly, wearing a dark brown dark-striped beanie, her hair was mostly gray, and her face was wrinkled.

Shen Yunyi still remembers this old nanny, she is Nanny Zhang, the queen mother's first confidant, only two years younger than the queen mother, now 68, and has been serving the queen mother.

Even Emperor Mingkang and Princess Dingyang were raised by Madam Zhang when they were young.

Regardless of Zhang Nanny's age, her legs and feet are very agile.I heard that Nanny Zhang is a master. Three years ago, Shen Yunyi saw her crushing walnuts with her bare hands. She squeezed the walnuts in her palm, and with a light grasp, the walnuts shattered.

Princess Dingyang also had a smile on her face when she saw Nanny Zhang, and hurried forward to meet her, "Just send any maid and eunuch here, why come here in person."

Nanny Zhang said with a smile, "This old slave wants to see the princess sooner, so he feels happy and at ease."

Nanny Zhang looked at Shen Wenhao and Shen Yunyi again, her eyes flashed, "This is the grandchildren of the princess' twins, right? They are really outstanding, and they are all beautiful."

"They just returned to the capital, thinking that my mother would always tell me that she misses their two monkeys, so I brought them here." Hearing Mammy Zhang praise Shen Yunyi and Shen Wenhao, Princess Dingyang smiled deeply. deep.

Princess Dingyang frowned when she heard the faint laughter coming from the hall, and asked, "Who will accompany the queen mother?"

Nanny Zhang replied, "It is Prince Qi's son and Princess Huishu who are accompanying the Queen Mother."

The corner of Shen Yunyi's mouth twitched secretly, even Shen Wenhao twitched.

The Empress Dowager had two sons and a daughter, besides the son and daughter of Emperor Mingkang and Princess Dingyang, the other one was King Zheng.

Zheng Wang died young, but his concubine gave birth to a son for him, and a concubine also gave birth to a son for him.The concubine and concubine gave birth on the same day.

The fate of the two sons of King Zheng was also good, one inherited the title of King Zheng, and the other was named King of Qi by Emperor Mingkang.

The one who inherited the title of King Zheng also died young, leaving only his son Xiao Jing.To say that Xiao Jing's life was also quite bitter, his father died early, and his mother also died early.In Zheng Wang's mansion, only the grandmother, the old concubine Zheng Wang, is still alive.However, the old concubine Zheng Wang was weak and sick. She had been in Zheng Wang's mansion all year round and had hardly seen outsiders.

Let’s talk about King Qi’s lineage. Today’s King Qi is the grandson of King Zheng, and the first generation of King Qi also died young.However, King Qi lived a long time, and he still had quite a few children, but there were only two of them, one was Xiao Ming, the eldest son of King Qi, who was thirteen this year.There is also Xiao Keqing, the owner of Huishu County, who is eleven this year.

Shen Yunyi and Shen Wenhao didn't like Xiao Ming's two brothers and sisters very much, because they relied on the favor of the Queen Mother and Emperor Mingkang, their tempers were not to mention bad, and they only had eyes on their foreheads to judge people.

Furthermore, Shen Yunyi and Shen Wenhao couldn't understand Xiao Ming and Xiao Keqing's bullying and domineering behavior in private, and Liang Zi had already formed a relationship.

Not to mention Shen Yunyi and Shen Wenhao, even Princess Dingyang didn't like Xiao Ming and Xiao Keqing very much. If she hadn't thought that they were the blood of her late brother, she would have turned her back a long time ago.

The smile on Princess Dingyang's face faded away.

Seeing this, Nanny Zhang led Princess Dingyang and others into the palace while talking about other interesting matters.

The further you go in, the more obvious the laughter becomes.

Soon, Princess Dingyang and Shen Yunyi entered the main hall.

I saw a man dressed in a red embroidered phoenix palace dress, his hair was half as gray as Nanny Zhang, but there were not many wrinkles on his face, and some drooping eyes were full of smiles, leaning on the arhat bed made of red sandalwood and carved begonias , and the palace man waved a long-handled fan with peacock feathers to cool it down.

This is the Empress Dowager of Da Chu.

From the face of the queen mother who is not young, one can vaguely see her youthful magnificence and beauty, even though she is old, the noble and graceful temperament accumulated by the years on her body is getting stronger and stronger, inadvertently A glance, also carries a lofty and unparalleled majesty.

Look at the man and woman sitting around the Queen Mother.

The man was dressed in an indigo brocade robe and a white jade crown. He looked handsome, but he was full of arrogance, which lowered his appearance a lot, which made people very unhappy.

The woman was dressed in an ice-blue gauze dress with thousands of colors of plum blossoms, holding a peony gauze fan in her hand. The blush on her face was like a delicate begonia. Her arrogance also lowered her sense of beauty.

This is Xiao Ming, the eldest son of King Qi, and Xiao Keqing, the princess of Huishu County.

Shen Yunyi thought to herself, Xiao Ming and Xiao Keqing, two brothers and sisters, haven't seen each other for so many years, but they are still equally annoying.

Princess Dingyang only needs to bow her knees to the queen mother, while Shen Yunyi and Shen Wenhao have to kneel and kowtow to salute.

The queen mother didn't wait for Shen Yunyi and Shen Wenhao to kneel down, and said, "We are all a family, so there are so many etiquettes, so I am exempt. Move some chairs and eat some melon to warm up."
