Chapter 423 Shangsi Festival 1st Update (1)
The Jade Kun Palace, where the Queen lives, has two front and back entrances. The main hall in the front yard is the Jade Kun Palace, which is five rooms wide, with three bays and three auxiliary halls in the east and west. But the queen’s daily life is not in the front yard, but in the Baihuaju in the backyard.
Baihuaju, named after the hundreds of exotic flowers planted inside, is also five rooms wide, with wing rooms on both sides, and three side halls on the east and west sides. It has colorful glazed tiles, colorful paintings under the eaves, and low eyebrows. The pleasing to the eye and breathless maids and eunuchs add a strong royal atmosphere to the entire palace.
At this time, in the warm pavilion of Baihuaju, the Queen of the Jin Dynasty was half leaning on the warm couch, wearing a red satin double-breasted shirt embroidered with flower and bird patterns, a bright yellow long skirt with gold threads, and black hair. He casually put a bun on his head, leaned on the pillow and closed his eyes to meditate.
Beside the couch, a palace maid was kneeling on the couch, holding a pair of beauties and gently lifting her legs.
"Empress!"
Li Zequan, the great eunuch of the Jade Kun Palace, walked in gently with his body hunched over, and said in a soft voice: "Ms. Qi, Mrs. Li Guogong is here. She is waiting outside the palace, waiting for your summons."
Queen Mo opened her eyes and said slowly: "Mother is here? Quickly announce----"
After saying that, she sat up from the hot couch. The palace maid on the bed quickly put down the beauty's hammer, knelt on the ground, and helped her put on brocade shoes embroidered with nine-tailed colorful phoenixes holding beads.
Just as she was getting dressed, the gray-haired Mrs. Li Guogong, Mrs. Liu, had already been led by Li Zequan, wearing the auspicious uniform of Yipingaoming. She walked in holding the girl's hand. When she saw Queen Mo, she bowed down and bowed down.
"My concubine, Mr. Liu of the Duke's Mansion, pays homage"
"Mother!"
Queen Mo had already put on her shoes, stood up and stopped the old lady who was kneeling, and stretched out her hand to help her up.
"How many times have I said that outside, a mother can treat her daughter like a monarch and a minister, but in her daughter's own place, these clichéd things can be avoided!"
Mrs. Liu smiled kindly and said: "Your Majesty, the courtesy between the emperor and his ministers cannot be wasted. As the empress is in the middle palace, she should set an example for the other concubines. If you only think about filial piety and don't let your ministers and concubines perform this ritual, what will happen in the future?" If you go out, you will cause trouble to your Majesty and His Highness King Qin. Your Majesty, please let me perform this ceremony, otherwise I will feel uneasy!"
The queen had no choice but to sit down, leaning sideways, and reluctantly accepted her mother's gift.
After the ceremony, Empress Mo personally stepped forward, helped her mother up, led her to sit on the warm couch, offered tea, and said with a smile: "Mother worships the Buddha and chants sutras in the Buddhist hall every day, why are you so free today? There is no need to go to the Buddhist hall. Yet?"
Liu said: "Just because I talked about Yi'er's marriage with your father yesterday, didn't your Majesty intend to designate the daughter of the general who protects the country to be our Yi'er's wife a year ago? Why is there no news? I and I Your father is not worried, so he comes and asks himself."
Hearing her mother mention this matter, Queen Mo had a headache. She rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Mother doesn't know something. It's a long story. I'll allow my daughter to tell you slowly..."
Outside the window, there was a gentle breeze. The palace maids and eunuchs waiting outside the palace stood there motionless, like statues. The courtyard was silent, except for an emerald green parrot jumping on the magnolia tree, as if playing or playing. Foraging…
"So, Yi'er refused to marry the daughter of the Li family just because of that girl from the Mu family?"
In Nuan Pavilion, old lady Liu suddenly realized something.
"Exactly!"
When Mu Caiwei was mentioned, Queen Mo's already cold and arrogant face became even colder and filled with anger.
"They are all those women who don't know the heights of the world and are delusional. They covet the position of Yi'er's wife and instigate Yi'er not to get married. However, the unsatisfactory rebellious son is fascinated by her and actually ignores his great career. What a shame. No more getting married!"
