Gu Qianyun raised her hand gently, and everyone who was discussing in a low voice stopped talking, Gu Qianyun looked at the queen kindly, smiled and said: "The queen is right, but what Rong Concubine said is also right, no matter what, this birthday is still the same. I want to live, and I have to live a lively life, but it doesn’t need to be too extravagant.”
The queen mother's words fell, and everyone replied in unison: "Yes."
Murong Shuqing lowered his head lazily, not interested in continuing to watch. In fact, everyone in the room knew about these so-called discussions, and this was the end result. Those with low grades do not have the right to speak, as long as they agree to it; those who can speak up, no one wants to offend the queen, not to mention Cang Yuezhi's victory, or defeat, this prince is one year old, and no one dares to say Don't celebrate, everything is just a formality.
How long will this kind of regular greetings continue? Shouldn't they stay for lunch or something? If so, her legs will suffer.
While Murong Shuqing was thinking nonchalantly, the empress dowager's smiling voice rang in her ears, "Shu Qing, come and see all the concubines."
Murong Shuqing didn't react for a while, Qiu Rong was obviously much more alert than her at this time. Hearing the Queen Mother's words, she immediately took two steps back, so Murong Shuqing appeared in front of everyone.
There was a moment of silence in the Xiangrui Palace. Murong Shuqing could feel the line of sight that fell on him, curious, surprised, doubtful, and so on. Murong Shuqing raised his head, bowed his knees slightly, and said, "Shu Qing greets the empresses."
This is not in line with the rules, and it seems too perfunctory. It's just that she really can't remember so many grades. These may be symbols of their status, but in her opinion, they are extremely boring.
Murong Shuqing didn't kneel, and asked An to be hastily, but none of the people present paid any attention to this, they just stared at the woman in plain makeup and green hair, and couldn't say a word.
In the inner courtyard of the palace, many women, either for the emperor's favor, or to attract attention, or to show their identity, do not dress themselves exquisitely and gorgeously, and never step out of the palace gate. Even Concubine Leng, who has always been famous for being cold and arrogant, has no less objects on her body than others. Even the beloved daughter-in-law of ministers outside the palace was meticulously decorated when she entered the palace. And the woman in front of her appeared as if she did not belong to the palace, causing them to be stunned.
After a long time, Concubine Shu first came back to her senses and asked everyone's questions, "The Queen Mother, who is this?"
The Queen Mother drank tea leisurely, elegantly but silently smiling. While they were looking at each other, the Queen's gentle voice smiled softly: "It must be the daughter of the Qi family, the future general's wife." Murong Shuqing entered the palace to study Li, the Chief of Internal Affairs had reported to her yesterday, and I heard from my father a few days ago that Murong Shuqing was a person of extraordinary demeanor and charisma, and the woman in front of her could afford these eight words. The queen raised her hand gently and smiled at Murong Shuqing, "Miss Murong, please calm down."
Murong Shuqing stood up straight with a wry smile, and replied, "Empress Xie." She understood why all the women in the palace were keen to climb up. If it were her, she would work hard to avoid kneeling a few people.
Most of the women in the palace are the daughters of important officials of the court. Although they dare not interfere with the affairs of the court, they still understand somewhat. They may not know Murong Shuqing's name, but the Qi family and Xuanyuan Yi will not be ignorant. Knowing Murong Shuqing's identity, they also understood why she didn't kneel and perfunctory.
Concubine Shu looked at Murong Shuqing carefully, and said with a tsk tsk: "I have heard that Miss Qiyue was a fairy-like person since I was a child. When I meet Miss Murong today, I really know what it means to be out of the world." No wonder Xuanyuan Yi let it go. Chuqing, this beauty is not wanted, please give me a marriage.
Murong Shuqing replied indifferently: "Concubine Shu is wrongly praised, and Shu Qing is not as good as her mother." Murong Shuqing was reluctant to talk about these false praises, and was even a little impatient.
"Shu Qing entered the palace to study etiquette for half a month, and she is not familiar with the palace. You should take care of her more." The queen mother waved her hand lightly, and Qiu Rong immediately brought a chair for Murong Shuqing and lined up beside the queen. .
Everyone nodded and replied: "Yes." The precious daughter of the Qi family, the beloved wife of General Xuanyuan, with such an identity, even if the Queen Mother did not say it today, no one would dare to embarrass her.
Closing her eyes gently, Gu Qianyun said tiredly, "Okay, you all go back and rest."
"Yes." Sure enough, they were all from famous families, with elegant demeanor. After dozens of people saluted, they exited quickly and silently.
Murong Shuqing also breathed a sigh of relief, and it was finally over. He was about to get up and go to the backyard to enjoy the warm sun and breeze, but his hand was lightly grabbed. Murong Shuqing turned around and met the Queen's gentle eyes.
"Bengong feels that I have a good relationship with Miss. I wonder if Miss would like to sit down at Bengong?"
Fate? She doesn't feel that she has any affinity with the lord of the harem. I'm afraid that she can't get rid of Xuan Tiancheng, but she just doesn't know, how much does she know
"Go ahead, the queen is a role model in the harem. It's better for you to stay with her for a while longer than to study with those maids for a few days." When Murong Shuqing was hesitating about how to refuse, Gu Qianyun's words made her nod her head. replied: "Yes."
Following the Queen and her group absentmindedly, Murong Shuqing strolled along the way, and arrived at the Queen's Feifeng Palace within a short distance.
The size of the palace is similar to that of the Xiangrui Palace, and the architectural style is basically similar, and without exception, it is decorated gorgeously and elegantly.
Holding the hot tea just brewed in her hand, the queen didn't speak, she didn't intend to speak, and idly fiddled with the new tea in her hand. In the flower hall, the servant and the maid stood in one room, and it was as quiet as if no one was there.
Just when Murong Shuqing was so bored that she was about to fall asleep, the queen finally opened her mouth and just asked, "What does Miss Murong do for her usual pastime?"
With a light cough to hide the smile at the corner of her mouth, the women in this palace like to ask what other people do when they open their mouths? Murong Shuqing smiled and replied, "Read a book."
Murong Shuqing answered in a general way, the queen is also a person of high quality and blue heart, she already knew that she was not interested in this topic, so she turned to say: "I heard that the silk cotton produced by Murong's Su Nishang is fine and thin in texture, bright and shiny. Run Ningze. It can keep out the cold in winter and prevent the heat in summer. It is the best silk. When you wear it on your body, you can soothe the mind and make you feel refreshed. That's what the lady is wearing today." Most people wear plain clothes, especially green. It looks monotonous and depressing, but this one on Murong Shuqing's body is different. It looks bright and refreshing in color, and shows different shades of light under the sun. The light and thin texture makes it seem like there is no wind and automatic, swirling and elegant.
"The rumors in the market made the queen laugh. In addition to the fact that the silk and cotton are really soft and comfortable to wear, it doesn't have that many effects." Murong Shuqing glanced at his clothes with a funny look. A piece of clothing has such a magical effect, so there is no need for medicine.
The Queen shook her head, seeing with her own eyes that the cloth was really dazzling. No matter whether it was as magical as the rumors said, she liked it tightly, so she smiled and said, "Miss Murong is too modest. I just don't know how to buy silk and cotton these days. what?"
I had long heard about the benefits of Tiansong silk and cotton. When Haoer was born, he wanted to make some soft clothes for him, but after searching all over the capital, there was none, and there was no sale in Su Nishang. Later, after inquiring from various sources, I found out that the silk cotton was just a thing made by Su Nishang for Murong Shuqing alone.
"The amount of celestial silk cotton is small, it is difficult to color, and bleaching and dyeing is complicated, so Su Nishang never sells celestial silk cotton." She, she just wanted her to give some away. If that's what she wanted to come to Feifeng Palace, then why not give her some. Murong Shuqing smiled generously and said, "If the queen likes it, Shu Qing will send three horses to Prince Hao to celebrate the prince's first birthday."
Sure enough, she was a thoughtful person. The Queen nodded slightly and smiled politely: "So, thank you Miss."
Murong Shuqing smiled back and gave it to the queen, and more and more people would inevitably ask her for it later. It seems that she should urge Qin Fu to develop a new type of silk cotton from other silks and sell it to these dignitaries, preferably in limited quantities. Rare things are precious, she wants silk cotton to sell for gold, and the little prince is the best spokesperson for silk cotton.
Murong Shuqing was thinking about how to launch the silk cotton plan, but there was no way. After being a businessman for a long time, he would inevitably suffer from occupational diseases. At this time, a palace maid walked in slowly, half-kneeled in front of the queen and said, "Empress Empress, the little prince is awake."
The originally dignified and elegant queen hurriedly said happily: "Bring it over to this palace to see."
Murong Shuqing followed the Queen's line of sight and saw a slightly chubby grandma walking outside the hall, holding a pink and tender child in her hands. The child is very cute, and the big eyes that flicker and flicker are the most dazzling, which makes people feel pity and love. The queen could not wait to stand up to greet her, took the child in the woman's hands, and happily kissed the child's pink | tender cheek.
The current queen has a doting smile on her face, just like all mothers. However, the mothers in this palace are much more pitiful than the mothers outside. They are not allowed to feed their children by themselves. At night, the princes and princesses must leave the mother's bedroom, and they can come to greet them during the day. If the mother makes a mistake, she is also deprived of the right to see her child. As they grow older, the princes spend less and less time with their mothers, and they are accompanied by more mammas and slaves. I don't know if this system is to torture mothers or children
Murong Shuqing watched the little prince smiling mischievously in the empress' arms and dancing, thinking of Xingyue at home. This year, Xingyue was five years old. When she first arrived in the east corner, Xingyue was still young The prince is so big.
Thinking of Xingyue's coquettish and coquettish appearance, Murong Shuqing's face also raised a soft smile, but this smile was quickly broken by a loud announcement—
"The Emperor is here."
With the announcement, the servants and maids in Feifeng Palace had consciously knelt on the ground, and the queen held the little prince in her hands and greeted the door of the palace. The queen bowed slightly and respectfully waited for the arrival of the emperor. Even the little prince, who had been dancing, seemed to sense the difference in the atmosphere and stayed in his mother's arms obediently.
In this battle, the heads of the people in the entire room were crouching under their feet. It is no wonder that the emperor wants to call himself a widow, and he really has a feeling of being at a high place. Some helplessly half-kneeled, Murong Shuqing waited on the spot to welcome the "dignified" emperor.
The strong footsteps stepped into the hall, and the gentle voice of the queen also sounded quietly, "Chen and concubine greet the emperor."
Xuan Tiancheng said lightly, "Let's be flat." As he spoke, Xuan Tiancheng picked up the little prince from the queen's hands, and coaxed the child in his arms with a sweet and soothing voice, "Come. Hao'er, father and emperor hug." For a moment, he was surrounded by the halo of fatherly love.
Xuan Tiancheng carried the little prince into the hall and saw the figure of Indigo at a glance. He stood still in front of Murong Shuqing, staring at the woman in front of him without saying a word. Murong Shuqing was still half-kneeling without raising his head, pretending not to feel Xuan Tiancheng's gaze.
The queen observed the two of them secretly. They didn't communicate at all, but they seemed to be very familiar with each other. It's a very strange feeling. Since the last time she found out that the emperor was furious over Murong Shuqing's portrait, she had paid attention to this Murong Shuqing, but the emperor gave her a marriage gift and learned the etiquette, which confused her. How did they know each other? Still don't know
The Queen stood beside Xuan Tiancheng with a smile, and tentatively introduced: "This is, Miss Murong."
Murong Shuqing still didn't look up, and said softly, "Murong Shuqing greets the emperor."
Xuan Tiancheng stared at Murong Shuqing and shifted his gaze to the little prince, and said casually, "flat body." He carried the little prince to the throne and sat down. He said to the queen who was following behind: "Today, the official reminded me that Hao'er's birthday is in a few days. How are you preparing?"
The queen smiled happily and said, "Go back to the emperor, the queen mother discussed with us today, and is already preparing."
"Ah That's good."
Looking at the sky, the queen asked expectantly, "The emperor can have his lunch here."
Xuan Tiancheng's attention was on the sweet smile of his youngest son, and he just said "um" casually. Murong Shuqing could feel that the queen was in a very happy mood. Having a meal with her husband, for her, It was something to be excited about.
Murong Shuqing sighed softly, and said softly behind the queen: "Empress Empress, Shu Qing promised the Empress Dowager to go back for dinner at noon, so she won't disturb the Emperor and the Empress." She had no interest in eating with their family.
The queen glanced at the emperor and saw that he was still teasing Xiao Hao'er attentively, so she turned around and said to Murong Shuqing with a smile, "Okay. Next time I will come to this palace to sit down." She would always figure it out. What happened between her and the emperor
The Queen didn't know that after she turned around, Xuan Tiancheng also turned to look at Murong Shuqing, but just glanced at him and quickly turned back.
"Shu Qing retire." Murong Shuqing turned and left the Feifeng Palace.
