Sheng Weiqiao didn't know what Sheng Suihe was thinking, so he huffed for a while and left with the box in his arms.
She worked very hard that day, and Lu Jin and three other maids were also busy. In this way, the master and servant worked until late at night, and then settled down at Sheng Suihe's reminder.
In the next month, Sheng Weiqiao, Sheng Wewu, and Gongsun Yingjiang were woken up by their respective maids early in the morning, and they dressed up and prepared to enter the palace.
Just as he was collecting his shit, someone from the east came to report that Nan's family was here.
When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, she was slightly surprised. Although the first two times she went to see the Queen Mother, Nan had brought her with her, but this time Princess Wuyang reconciled her rejection of the Queen Mother and asked her for the privilege of entering the palace alone. Later, There was still a way back, and Nan didn't say he would accompany them that time, so why did he suddenly come now
Bu Nao was surprised. After all, as an elder, even if you come uninvited, you can't leave someone alone.
Sheng Weiqiao went to give instructions: "Quickly ask my aunt to serve tea in the main hall. Tell her that he is half dressing up and his appearance is not neat. It is not possible to visit him at the moment. Please ask her to have some refreshments first. He will be there soon!"
After a while, she dressed up and rushed to the main hall, only to see Sheng Suihe already greeting the Nan family, saying: "As the New Year is approaching, I wonder if my aunt, as the mistress of the Hou Mansion, will be busy with many things, so I will have a special meeting tomorrow." How can I be so embarrassed to make room for my dear girls to come to the palace to pay their respects?"
Nan shook his head and said: "Baomo and his grandparents came from the same family. Our uncle is an only son. He usually doesn't have a sister-in-law to ask for. His parents' family is also far away and it is inconvenient to go back and forth. I don't want to go to the East during the festival. In fact, apart from some social activities that our uncle is here to attend, there is nothing urgent to do."
When he said that, he glanced at Sheng Weiqiao who happened to come in, and said, "The sisters in the Meng family are all very light-hearted. Qiao'er is simple-minded. Wu'er is so young. He thinks that Ying Jiang's child is also very strict." Literally - after all, we have not been in Chang'an for a long time and have not been to the palace many times. Although the Queen Mother allowed us to go directly to the palace gate to ask for an audience, she just allowed us children to go to Xinshou Palace alone to interact with the children of the Meng family. Both he and our uncle are worried."
Sheng Wei and Qiao Lian went to say thanks: "Sorry for bothering my aunt!"
It was rare that Sheng Suihe did not sow discord, and he also nodded to the Nan family: "Auntie's great kindness, my brother and sister will remember it in my heart!" Although he gave Sheng Weiqiao some advice, she didn't have to ask for the books and notes that Huan Yehe sent in a hurry. They all came east, but Huan Yehe said that Meng Fifteen should stay away from them and that it would be best to use Meng Fourteen to avoid the fifteenth lady of the Meng family.
After all, Sheng Weiqiao's level of intrigue could not reassure him.
Sheng Weiwu, who is traveling with me, is so young, so it would be nice if she doesn't hold him back.
After all, Gongsun Yingjiang was born in Tortoiseshell Island, and his scheming legs had the air of a businessman, so he could hardly enter the elegant hall, and he was not a stranger to the invisible killings in the palace.
However, due to the Queen Mother's invitation, Sheng Suihe, as a man, could not accompany her, so Nan was willing to help. He was very grateful, so he naturally put aside the alienation and estrangement that he had felt before to stay away from Ningwei Hou's mansion, and showed a warm and affectionate attitude.
"How can I be so kind to Bu Nao for running some errands with me?" But the impression he had given to Nanshi before was so bad. After hearing what he said, Nanshi snorted coldly, "That boy of mine is so ruthless. ! It’s as if our two families are thousands of miles apart, yet we still show respect for any trivial matter! I beg Brother Xinzhang’s flesh and blood, he really doesn’t want to see me!"
"That matter is easy to handle. When Dongci heard that aunt was coming, he took the curtain hat and put it on, and then came out to see aunt." Sheng Suihe didn't care about her complaints and looked at the corner of the room with a smile. He looked at the copper leak and said, "At that moment, our horses are walking, why don't we set off again later?"
Nanshi and Sheng Weiqiao had a short discussion, and they both agreed that although the Queen Mother did not say the time that month, it would be better to go earlier, so as to show respect.
So Sheng Weiqiao and the others had a hasty breakfast, and then boarded the car with Nan and set off. Although Nan was kind-hearted, when they arrived at the gate of the palace, the news of asking for an audience came in, and a leg-bearer came out after a while. Fu Chen's foreign attendant was Eunuch Tian, who was the guide when Sheng Weiqiao entered the palace for the first time. He politely and firmly refused Nan's visit: "It turns out that Madam has such intention, the Queen Mother is very pleased. No. Coincidentally, tomorrow I have an urgent matter to report to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother. That’s why the Queen Mother sent a message. Except for a few young ladies who had made an appointment long ago, no one else will be seen in Mingyue! I would like to ask Mrs. Nan to come back in another month. ?”
Nanshi's heart sank when he heard those words. She asked Chensha to stuff a heavy purse for him and asked in a low voice: "Since Mrs. Zheng Guogong has come to the palace to ask for something, what about his nieces who come to the palace?" Won’t you disturb the Queen Mother too much?”
She thought that since she couldn't get in, it would be best for Sheng Weiqiao and the others not to go. They would come there tomorrow. The Lord asked her, but the Empress Dowager Bu Nao personally said that she wanted to go to the Xinshou Palace. Flattery - but Eunuch Tian said with a smile: "That's not a problem! After all, Mrs. Xiang didn't enter the palace alone, but she brought all the ladies from the Meng family who had not left the palace with her. After Miss Sheng and others entered, I just want to keep company with the ladies of the Meng family!"
After he said that, Nan didn't want to tell Sheng Weiqiao and the others not to enter the palace, so she sighed and gave Sheng Weiqiao a few words of advice, and watched worriedly as she led Sheng Weiwu and Gongsun Yingjiang into the palace with Eunuch Tian.
Sheng Weiqiao and the others were not familiar with Eunuch Tian, and there were rules in the palace not to make noise, so they walked in silence along the way.
After a long while, they finally arrived at the Xinshou Palace. Because Xu Xu came to see Madam Xiang, the Empress Dowager Mingyue used the main hall. As usual, Eunuch Tian went in first to report. With the Empress Dowager's permission, Sheng Weiqiao and the others tidied up their appearance and filed in to pay their respects. .
Before they entered the palace that time, they reminded each other to behave respectfully. At that time, every move was in compliance with the rules, and they didn't even raise their heads.
After waiting, Empress Dowager Meng kindly said "Ping Sheng" and ordered "Give me a seat." The three pastel embroidered stools with gold and thousands of patterns moved by the palace people were gone, and the palace maids were offering tea and saying softly. After thanking each other, they each took teacups with plum blossoms, royal robes, yellow peony flowers and leaves, and gold circles on their legs. Fang raised his head slightly and secretly took a look at the red flower.
I saw the red sandalwood girdle at the head, the throne with the phoenix title and longevity pattern, and the Empress Dowager Meng was walking on her knees. The Empress Dowager will be wearing 50% new regular clothes tomorrow, with purple bottom, four-in-one Ruyi Ruiyun pattern and wide sleeves The lapels of the short jacket reveal the collars of two layers of underwear, one painted light purple and the other painted red.
The waist is tied with a wide belt of ruby gold and five clouds holding the moon, and the aqua-colored base elastic ink landscape skirt is tied around the waist. Most of the ink color has become very light due to the frequent washing, and the landscape patterns in many places are There are even intermittent traces.
I don’t know if during my last visit to the Tufu, I heard that Queen Mother Meng had recovered from a serious illness just a few months ago. Looking at it now, Sheng Weiqiao felt that even though Queen Mother Meng had a trace of hair in her high bun, she was still wearing it. The Ershu flower hairpin shines brightly in the candlelight, showing the unique majesty and grace of the Tian family. Dong's face is decorated with makeup and looks good, but the look in his eyes is like the dress the Queen Mother is wearing at the moment. Shaohua, only remaining tired.
The Queen Mother looked at the three Sheng Weiqiaos, smiled slightly, turned her head to the east and said to a beautiful middle-aged woman wearing a first-class mother's hairpin dress: "Are those Sheng Shixiong's granddaughter and great-granddaughter, because of the Bishui County incident in the past two months? Mrs. Ning Weihou brought the matter into the palace to explain to the Ai family. The Ai family originally said it was a trivial matter and nothing to worry about. It turned out that while they were talking, they casually sent an errand to the girl named Wei Qiao. I didn't expect her to have any insights - who knows, but she accidentally hit her! The girl was helpless, but the brother at home, who has a big chest, actually saw the flaw at a glance!"
Sheng Weiqiao speculated that the middle-aged beautiful woman should be the wife of Zheng Guogong's wife, Xiang. It was originally heard that Xiang was not very popular with Zheng Guogong. Although the Queen Mother personally chose Zheng Guogong's continuation and received a formal imperial title, she was not favored by Zheng Guogong. In the Duke's house, it seems that Meng Lijiang's biological mother took advantage of Duke Zheng's favor, so the mistress didn't respect her very much - so Sheng Weiqiao speculated that Xiang Xu was not very good-looking
