Chapter 595

Take things with you. Xu Mingyi takes ah Kui to the Queen's residence and a servant woman leads the way.

Here is also a single courtyard, facing a garden on the left. It is quiet and suitable for recuperation.

Under the porch of the main room, there were two little servant girls with blue and white armor.

"This is our cousin. Don't salute quickly?" the servant who led the way smiled and reminded.

The two girls were surprised when they heard that they were busy.

So this is the watch girl.

Last night, the story of girls leading soldiers into the city has long been spread - women leading soldiers, which they have only heard in their notebooks!

It's the first time to be so close to the characters in the script.

For this reason, everyone is curious and admiring Miss Biao. In particular, it is said that Miss Biao has a big knife in her left hand, a long bow in her right hand, and a handsome young man around her

As soon as I came and went, I had a vague but extremely powerful outline in my mind.

But now

But now the watch girl in front of me has bright eyes and bright teeth, snow cheeks and Qiong nose, crow hair like clouds, pearl jade buckle fine silk shirt, snow green skirt, apricot silk shoes

This is clearly a little lady like a flower!

No, no, no, there are still some differences

When she walks, she strides bigger than ordinary little women, and is particularly light, and her body is more straight. From her back, she looks like a straight and tough lotus growing in the water.

Xu Mingyi came to the outer hall and lowered his voice. The woman guarding the curtain asked, "is your mother resting?"

The old lady saw her this morning and recognized her. She saluted at this time. When she was about to answer, she heard a laughing voice from the inside: "but Zhaozhao? Come in quickly."

It's the queen.

Xu Mingyi raised her feet and went in. She was sitting in front of the dressing mirror. A young servant woman was combing her soft and bright black hair. She was wearing a satin shoe with autumn fragrance embroidered lotus pattern. The sunset was sprinkled on her through the porch window, gently plated with a layer of soft warmth.

This picture is quiet and full of the breath of ordinary years, which makes Xu Mingyi stunned for a moment.

She used to see empress, either Phoenix robe or palace dress. She rarely saw such an "ordinary" empress.

These days, when marching on the road, it was also the dress of ordinary women's family members, but it didn't give her such a feeling at this time.

How to say

Like, at this moment, she suddenly felt that she should no longer call each other the queen.

"Why did you get up? The wind and cold are better?" Xu Mingyi returned to his senses and asked.

"Much better." the Queen's face was still a little weak, but her eyes were full of a smile: "I heard that the general arrived in the afternoon... Just now the wife of the son sent someone to send a message and asked me if I wanted to eat late in the hospital, but I felt I couldn't lie down, so I also wanted to go ahead and make a fuss."

In the past, when she was in the palace, she avoided all the banquets, but now it's different. Just listening to the little girls whispering in the corridor, she felt that a heart was going to fly out with her

I want to go out and have a look, walk and listen.

Just now she got up from her bed in Chinese clothes and saw a golden glow outside the window. As soon as her feet fell to the ground, it seemed as if she had stepped into the years before entering the palace.

She had never taken such an easy step for a long time.

The cold and illness seemed to be "just in time". The family took care of her. Every day, except eating, she slept. Zhaozhao sent her a script to relieve her boredom. The Empress Dowager stuffed a sugar into her mouth when she took medicine

Now, most of the disease has gone, and many traces seem to have been washed away at the same time - those traces mentioned by Xu Yun.

She could stretch out in her hair and stand barefoot at the window for a while.

The autumn sun will fall to the west, but she seems to be alive again.

"... sit and talk quickly. I've been tired all day. Sit down and have a tea break. The dessert was sent by Lady Shizi just now. I tasted it. It's different from that in the capital. Zhaozhao also tried it."

Listening to these words, Xu Mingyi sat down with a smile on his face.

Since she left the palace, her mother has become different day by day.

In the past, the mother was close to her, but now she is more comfortable than being close.

Looking at such a lady, she is also very happy.

No matter whether the empress can still walk with her second uncle, she is happy for the empress.

For one thing, only when the empress really puts down her identity as a queen can she have a new beginning.

Second, life is more than love. People need to face themselves more often. Only when they are really good can they live well.

She thought that the reason why the second uncle had made such an explanation at the end of the day was that the second uncle was most concerned about the mother's health.

"This yard is somewhat similar to the one I used to live in Ningyang. There is also a lotus pond in my yard, and many fish are raised. I ask the girls to feed each other fatter..."

"Linyuan City, I've also been here... The first lady of your house is a wonderful person. She led me around manlinyuan and secretly took me to see a horse outside the city. I bet and lost all the money I took to buy fat powder... It seems that she was only twelve or thirteen at that time?"

Xu Yun somehow learned that she had lost money. One night, he returned the book borrowed from her to her.

She took it and saw that the bulging in the book could no longer stand out.

When he was about to open it, he had turned and walked quickly.

Covered in the book is a box of rouge from Jingfang building.

Jingfang building

She still remembers the name.

Some people are like this. She is clearly talking about other past events, but in those impressive past events, there is his shadow more or less.

After a moment of trance, the queen turned to the present.

"... last night, I heard that my father and the Duke had some disputes. My old man spoke coldly and some didn't like listening. He told the Duke not to take it seriously. When I'm ready, I'll make some snacks and send them to the Duke to make a good apology."

Xu Mingyi smiled: "if Grandpa could eat the snacks you sent, he would be able to eliminate any anger."

He added: "these days, Grandpa and the prince have quarreled for not a hundred times, but there have been eighty times. The quarrel has returned to quarrel, but the business has been discussed smoothly."

The day before yesterday, she heard doctor Qiu use a very strange word - noisy at the head of the bed and noisy at the end of the bed.

Although the words are not used properly, they are not much different in general.

In the end, it is a way of getting along that has lasted for decades, and it is not so easy to change.

While eating tea and talking, the servant woman had tied the Queen's hair in a bun.

"Qiao Niang's hands are so skillful. That's what a person is like." the queen smiled and praised the mirror.

The servant woman smiled and said, "you're a good-looking man. That's how you look."

The queen smiled more strongly: "originally, it should only be dexterous, but it's also clever to think about your mouth."

Qiao Niang was flattered.

She knew her identity. She thought she might not be easy to serve. Unexpectedly, she was so gentle and approachable. When people approached, it was like touching a cloud. It was really comfortable to get along with each other.

"You see which one you want to use..." Qiao Niang opened the jewelry box and asked the queen to choose.

"The Coral Bead hairpins are beautiful... The patterns of carving flower hairpins are exquisite and fresh..." the queen looked at them carefully. In the past, she didn't focus on such trifles. Any maid in waiting chose to wear them. Everything was a word "can".

Now, if you don't choose, it's not so easy to choose.

After comparing and comparing at the temples, I asked the little girl for help: "Zhaozhao, come and help me choose and see which is more suitable."

Xu Mingyi walked over with a smile.

As usual, I didn't see that my mother still had the crux of difficult choice.

"Look at this?"

Xu Mingyi took out the brocade box in his sleeve and opened it on the dressing table in front of the queen.

The queen was slightly stunned.

That's a pair of hairpins.

White jade plum blossom is used as a hairpin. Under the flower is a pair of emerald blue butterflies.

"... why did you bring it?" the queen looked at the hairpin and asked Xu Mingyi with a smile.

"I thought you might need it, so I took it with me when I went out."

The queen smiled and her eyes were thoughtful: "the gadgets of her youth are gone. I'm afraid they have long been out of line..."

"Don't you?" Xu Mingyi said, "you used to wear more palace clothes in the palace. Naturally, you should choose those that can hold you down. But now that you come out, you just wear them. What you really like is -"

He added: "if you really don't like it, you can't force it, but you still have to think about whether you really don't like it or because of the" incompatibility "in your mouth."

Listening to these words, the queen looked at the hairpins lying there quietly.

A moment later, the girl's voice sounded again: "in the younger generation's view, women are their own face, what they like is suitable, and what they use on themselves must first be liked by themselves."

Hairpin should use what you like.

Similarly, the husband should choose what he likes.

Women for themselves

The queen repeated these four words in her heart.

After a moment of silence, she smiled again in her eyes. Looking at the little girl on her side in the mirror, she said in a warm voice: "Zhaozhao, thank you, you are really a good child..."

"You don't have to thank me, just follow your heart."

This is the second uncle's account.

The queen picked up the brocade box, took out a hairpin, handed it to Qiao Niang and said with a smile——

"Just use this."

Qiao Niang took it and put it on her hairpin.

Seeing the moment when the hairpin didn't enter the hair room, a boot fell to the ground in Xu Mingyi's heart.

Since the empress wears these hairpins, half of them are from the Xu family.

As for the other half, it depends on the second uncle!

"Watch girl, this pair of hairpins are very good." looking at the person in the mirror, Qiao Niang sighed: "just look at it and don't feel it. When you use it like this, you know it's so matched."

Xu Mingyi smiled noncommittally and said, "it really fits with the temperament of the empress."

She didn't choose anything——

But the person who chose these hairpins must have used a lot of thought.

The queen smiled at the mirror, as if she were smiling at herself, or at girls and servants.

Although the hairpin matched, it was also too simple. Xu Mingyi picked another golden lotus and shook it with a pair of ears, which he personally wore for the queen.

Every time she wears one, Qiao Niang will boast of flowers.

The atmosphere in the house was harmonious and pleasant, and laughter came from time to time.

After cleaning up, it's dark outside.

Xu Mingyi accompanied the queen to the direction of the dining room. He took his time and looked at the furnishings in the house.

Soon after they arrived in the dining room, they all arrived.

The Duke of the town sat on the main seat, and the king of Dingnan and the Empress Dowager took the seat.

The rest of the people sit on both sides of the hall, one for each.

Xu and Cui sat together, but they had a kind of in laws attitude. Recently, Xu learned to play horse hanging with Cui, which greatly comforted Miss Cat. Before leaving the city, Tianjiao was sent to Xuesheng teahouse and taken care of by Mr. mo.

The two sons also sat together. After getting along with each other all the way, they inexplicably felt a little pity for each other.

Doctor Qiu sat down with the national teacher who came without invitation. Yuandezhi and the head of the yuan family also came.

Xu Yun wanted to sit with his nephew, but he went to his nephew and had a look - well, his nephew is not alone. There is a big bird squatting on the cushion next to him.

Xu Yun, who was pushed away by the birds, could only sit alone.

The wine and dishes were soon put on the table, and the people raised their glasses together to celebrate the joy of entering the city.

The queen also picked up the wine cup, but the cup was replaced with osmanthus honey tea.

She held the wine glass and looked at Xu Yun from the main seat to the lower head with a smile. When she came to Xu Yun opposite, she just collided with his line of sight. Instead of avoiding, she smiled and lifted the glass to him, and then drank all the honey tea.

"...?!" Xu Yun was stupid.

What does she want?

What's the meaning of this?

Why smile at him?

Are you kidding him?

Will he forgive her at once or wait and see?

No, he hasn't figured it out yet!

A small gesture and expression made an uproar in Xu Yun's heart.

It's really like an abandoned woman who cares about her gains and losses when she returns from a betrayed husband.

The next moment, when she saw her hairpin, her mind was roaring and blank for a moment.

This

It's clear that we want to make up with him?!

But don't we have to make this clear first?

He hasn't promised yet. She... Why did she put on the hairpin first!

Xu Yun, who felt that he had directly lost a coaxed link, ate the wine without knowing the taste, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help raising slightly. He was afraid of being seen by the other party and was desperately suppressed.

This meal was the longest he had ever had.

But I can't finish it——

The dishes were almost eaten, but a maid brought a bowl of dumplings.

Inside the white porcelain bowl, the Tangyuan with delicate and smooth skin is divided into red and green.

Anxious Xu Yun wanted to frown.

What kind of dumplings do you eat?

Doctor Qiu smiled and began his explanation: "this two-color dumpling is called Yuanyang dumpling, and its fillings are also different. The king, the Duke, and you can have a taste..."

Mandarin duck dumplings?

Tangyuan means reunion, and mandarin ducks mean to be in pairs.

Xu Yun picked up the spoon.

Good moral.

He can.

Xu Yun took one bite at a time and put two dumplings into his stomach.

The faces of the Duke of the town and the king of Dingnan were inexplicably strange. They didn't taste it for a while.

Piansheng's doctor Qiu's gaze was full of expectation——

The Duke of town couldn't stand this kind of look. Thinking that the other party was his life-saving benefactor, he looked a little stiff, picked up the bowl and swallowed the dumplings with the soup.

Dingnan Wang frowned: "...?"
