After Su Fengnuan said these words, the queen mother was taken aback.
Su Fengnuan looked at her with a smile, "Tell me, is that the reason?"
The queen mother was stunned for a moment, thinking about Su Fengnuan's words, she didn't really mean to refuse, it seems that she agreed? But if you agree, her tone of voice is a bit sloppy, it doesn't seem like she is distracted, as if she doesn't care about it.
She coughed and nodded, "It's really inappropriate for the Ai family to ask you this way." After saying that, she laughed, "When the Ai family taught you the rules, you didn't follow the rules. Now the Ai family won't follow the rules with you. You still remember the rules. Now that you say this, Aijia doesn't know what to say about you."
Su Fengnuan sat on the chair, smiled and cupped his hands, "I really made your old man worry, I'm sorry."
The Empress Dowager looked at her, speechless for a moment, and suddenly felt that she was like a little loach, slippery and unrestrained, when she was not pleasing to the eye in the past, there was no place to get angry even if she was angry, the emperor covered her, now she is a little pleasing to the eye After a while, he found that there was nothing he could do about her. She coughed and said, "Ye Shizi's appearance has indeed inherited the advantages of King Rong An and Princess Wang. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has unparalleled appearance."
Su Fengnuan curled the corners of his mouth, "I like beautiful men the most."
The queen mother shook her head when she heard the words, and continued to talk to her in a rare and kind manner, "Beauty is just a superficial appearance."
Su Fengnuan looked at her innocently, "I'm just an ordinary person. Looking at men, I think a little appearance is enough."
The queen mother couldn't help coughing again, "I heard that Ye Xi also looks very good."
Su Fengnuan nodded, "Yes, my brother's appearance is a little worse than Ye Shizi's."
The Queen Mother saw that she was discussing the man's appearance with her without blushing, and felt that she had led her into a ditch for a moment, and said, "Your appearance is also beautiful, and you inherited your mother. The blue is better than the blue."
Su Fengnuan blinked, "The appearance of a woman cannot be compared with that of a man."
"It's true." The queen mother looked at her, and felt that today's talk could not continue, so she changed the subject and said, "Every year at the end of July and early August, the Ai family will hold a banquet of flowers. Although Since the spring of this year, there have been troubles and troubles, and there has been no peace in Beijing. But it is precisely because of this that the Ai family wants to be more lively."
Su Fengnuan had heard of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and immediately said with a smile, "There must be a lot of flowers to admire at the Hundred Flowers Banquet?"
Seeing that her mind was focused on flowers, the Queen Mother thought that maybe she was still young. Although she was old enough to discuss marriage, since she was playing around all day, she probably didn't know much about love affairs between men and women, otherwise she wouldn't have said it bluntly. It's about seeing Ye Chang's appearance. Then he pointed out, "It's not just about viewing flowers, all unmarried men and women in various mansions of high grade in Beijing can participate."
Su Fengnuan looked at the Queen Mother, "Then, in this case, is it to appreciate flowers or people?"
The Queen Mother was speechless for a while, thinking that no one would ask this question except her, after all, everyone knew that although it was called appreciating flowers, it was actually appreciating people. She sighed, and said, "Forget it, the Ai family won't tell you these things anymore, you just need to remember that at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, you are not allowed to wield swords, beat and kill the Ai family, so as not to ruin the Ai family's life." Good flowers and ruined the Hundred Flowers Feast."
Su Fengnuan suddenly realized when he heard the words, "Oh", looked at the Queen Mother, and said in a long voice, "So you called me today because of this. You have been around for a long time, and I am confused." , she raised her hand to promise, "Don't worry, as long as no one messes with me, I won't fight."
The queen mother thought about how innocent she was, and she could tell by killing the noble concubine Yue that the emperor's noble concubine, she killed as soon as she said she wanted to, obviously she had no intentions. She loves martial arts, just like others love playing the piano and painting. She pondered for a long time because of Ye Chang's words, and today she asked her to ask, whether it was blunt or beating around the bush, she didn't notice it, and it was useless to say what she said earlier.
Because of her peace of mind, and because of her mood, the Queen Mother felt that chatting with this little girl today was quite gentle. Although she never understood what she meant, she didn't let her get bored with just a few words, which is rare.
So, she nodded, and followed her words, "That's what the Ai family called you to come today. Considering Ye Shizi's injury, the Ai family set the Hundred Flowers Banquet for ten days later, presumably Ye Shizi will be able to get out of bed at that time He moved around. In the past, he didn’t like the Hundred Flowers Banquet and never participated in it. This year, he blocked the emperor’s hand, suffered such a serious injury, and was bored in the mansion for a long time, so he must also want to be lively.”
Su Fengnuan counted with his fingers, "There's still half a month left for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and five days after ten days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival."
The Empress Dowager nodded, "Yes, during the Mid-Autumn Festival in previous years, the emperor would hold a banquet in the palace, and the ladies from various prefectures competed with each other, which was very lively."
Su Fengnuan looked at her, "Wouldn't it be that the two are busy together?"
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "The Hundred Flowers Banquet held by the Ai family is different from the Emperor's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. The Hundred Flowers Banquet is for casual viewing of flowers. Although there are also small groups of young men and women competing together, it is always for viewing flowers, which is harmless. For the emperor's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, in previous years, he would submit a list of contestants from among the young ladies from various prefectures, and the top three would be rewarded by the emperor. So, we put all our efforts into it."
Su Fengnuan understood after hearing the words, "So that's how it is!"
The queen mother nodded, "Apart from wielding knives and swords, do you have any talents that you can show?"
Su Fengnuan blinked his eyes, "Sword dancing doesn't count, fishing in the river doesn't count, plucking the old man's beard, pulling the old monk's eyebrows, if these don't count, it doesn't seem to be."
The queen mother was speechless for another moment, and said honestly, "If there is no one, there will be none. No matter which excitement you participate in at that time, just behave yourself and don't cause trouble and cut people with your sword."
Su Fengnuan said, "You have to untie your sword when you enter the Hundred Flowers Banquet, right? You also have to untie your sword when you enter the palace. So, even if someone provokes me, I can't use my sword to slash people. At most, I can use fists and kicks."
The queen mother was speechless for a while, and said, "What Aijia means is that it's best...don't fight."
Su Fengnuan looked at the Queen Mother, "But what if others provoke me? My temper is not very good."
The queen mother choked, thought for a while, and said, "You killed Concubine Yue and became famous. The Ai family thinks that no one who doesn't have eyes would dare to provoke you, and they might avoid you all the way. As long as you behave well, Just don’t take the initiative to cause trouble.”
Su Fengnuan grinned, "It's easy to say, so far, there is no one in Beijing that I find particularly unpleasant."
The Empress Dowager was relieved when she heard that, she looked away from her, and landed on the box she had selected earlier, selected a few pieces of jewelry from it, and said to the nurse beside her, "Put these pieces of jewelry into a small box."
The nun hurriedly responded, brought an empty box, and put the jewelry chosen by the Queen Mother into it.
The queen mother saw that the nanny had finished dressing up, and said warmly to Su Feng, "The Ai family rewarded you with these jewelry, take them back."
Su Fengnuan was taken aback, "The queen mother rewarded me with jewelry?"
The queen mother nodded and said, "Daughter's family, you still have to dress up well. You must not wear too little jewelry, otherwise it will look too simple and shabby. Although you are the daughter of the general's mansion and like to dance swords, you are also the king of the university. The granddaughter of a scholar should pay attention to boudoir manners."
The nanny took the box and handed it to Su Fengnuan.
Su Fengnuan thought that it was rare for the Queen Mother to be kind to her today. She thought that the sun might not come out from the west this day, but she did not expect it to come out from the west. The so-called gift from the elders is irresistible, so why don't you take the so-called free gift, so she was not polite, and accepted it with a smile, "Thank you, Queen Mother."
The queen mother took a look outside and saw that the sky was cloudy, she said, "I'm afraid it will rain soon, the Ai family won't keep you, go back."
Su Fengnuan was liberated, stood up immediately, and said to the Queen Mother, "It's going to rain, then I'm leaving." After saying that, he turned around cheerfully, and walked out the door without waiting for the Queen Mother to say more.
With this look, it was obvious that she couldn't wait to leave. The Queen Mother shook her head for a while, and said to the nun, "She didn't bring an umbrella when she entered the palace, did she? Give her an umbrella and ask her if she can find the way out of the palace by herself? If you can't find it, let Eunuch Yan send her out of the palace."
"Yes." The nanny hurriedly chased him out and called Su Fengnuan to stop.
After Su Fengnuan stepped out of the palace door, she felt that the air was fresh. Just as she was about to leave, she heard the nanny shouting, so she turned to look at her. After hearing her order from the queen mother, she asked her to wait for her to get the umbrella. Taking a look at the sky, thinking that it might really rain soon, he nodded.
Not long after, the nanny fetched the umbrella and handed it to Su Fengnuan.
Eunuch Yan asked tentatively outside the hall, "Miss Su, do you need a servant to send you?"
Su Fengnuan shook his head, "No need, I can go by myself."
Eunuch Yan nodded.
Su Fengnuan took the umbrella and went out of the Empress Dowager's Palace.
After she left, the queen mother thumped her shoulder and said, "After all, she is still a little girl. If you don't see that she has no rules and no manners, she is still somewhat pleasing, not so annoying."
The nanny heard the words and whispered, "A girl at Miss Su's age already knows about men and women, but she is ignorant. It must be that Mrs. Su spoiled her too much and was reluctant to marry her." People, so I don’t teach her such things, in order to raise her for a few more years.”
The queen mother nodded, "It seems to be the case." After finishing the sentence, she said again, "She and that kid Ye Chang are quite suitable. Today Ai's family met her, and I will talk to the emperor another day, and I agree. Let the emperor I know, in Aijia's heart, his son is still the most important. After making troubles, Aijia will still respect his wishes."
The mother heard the words and said, "Where is the overnight feud between mother and child? The emperor attaches great importance to filial piety, which can be seen from the fact that he did not blame the father-in-law's mansion for the case of the noble concubine Yue. Your heart. This is the emperor’s respect and filial piety. If you obey the emperor’s wishes, you will also give the emperor face. The emperor will respect you even more. The so-called harmony between you and the emperor is the blessing of the world.”
The queen mother nodded repeatedly when she heard the words, "You are right."
