Chapter 319

I don't know why. When ye Xiaoxian sat down, she found many people looking at her.

There was surprise and surprise in her eyes. It seemed that this person looked at her every time she came out, including the National Teacher's wife when she went out.

She didn't know why, so she smiled at the official wife who looked at her.

But the wives of these officials and family members still don't stop. After reading her, they have to talk to each other.

Ye Xiaoxian had to ask the Chamberlain's wife sitting next to her: "Why are they all looking at me? Do you know what's going on?"

The Chamberlain's wife said bluntly, "Madam Xiao, you look a little like the Empress Dowager."

"Empress Dowager?" Ye Xiaoxian was surprised.

She had never heard of the Empress Dowager and the national teacher, but since others said she looked like the empress dowager, she wondered.

Looks like the Empress Dowager. What's the trouble? Is the Empress Dowager old?

The Chamberlain's wife looked at Ye Xiaoxian carefully again, and then said, "the more you look, the more like it. Especially the makeup you wear today and the clothes you wear are the style the Empress Dowager likes. The Empress Dowager also likes to wear blue clothes with lotus leaves."

"...." Ye Xiaoxian thought that the queen gave her these clothes. Did the queen give them on purpose?

She had a hunch that she might get into trouble next.

May be punished for bumping into the Empress Dowager.

……

Fortunately, the queen was also present.

After the queen came, she sat on the throne, and then looked at the people below.

The people hurried to greet the queen, and ye Xiaoxian followed.

The queen looked dignified and dignified: "let's officially start now that everyone has come. The main reason for inviting you to come today is that there are a lot of strange things in various places. First, we will give you appreciation and appreciation, and second, we will reward some officials and family members who have made meritorious contributions in the previous dynasty. Because you take care of your family, men can focus on state affairs."

Then the queen said, "tonight, we have several new faces. Let me introduce them to you. The first one is the new lady Shangshu of the Ministry of rites. Her name is..."

The first time Mrs. Shang Shu of the Ministry of rites attended such an occasion, she seemed a little nervous, but she was not flustered. She saluted the queen alone and other officials and family members.

The queen also introduced Ye Xiaoxian: "this is general Xiao's wife Ye. As we all know, there are frequent reports of success in the war in the north, that is, General Xiao is defending the country on the front line, so ye's contribution is indispensable."

This time, the people looked at Ye Xiaoxian even more recklessly.

Ye Xiaoxian stood up and saluted them one by one, imitating the appearance of the minister's wife of the Ministry of rites.

At this time, an official family finally couldn't help it. When ye Xiaoxian finished the ceremony, she said, "I look at Mrs. Xiao. She looks like a person, like... Our empress dowager."

When the family member finished, the other officials and family members couldn't help agreeing.

"Yes, it's really similar."

"Is it just like our empress dowager?"

"I saw it just now. I was only surprised."

“……”

When the queen saw that her desired effect had been achieved, she also said, "if you don't say it, the palace really doesn't think it. If you say so, the palace looks like her mother. Will they know each other in previous lives?"

Another humanitarian: "I'm afraid it's not a previous life, but the lost sister of the Empress Dowager?"

Then someone asked Ye Xiaoxian where she lived and where she came from.

They knew that the Empress Dowager came from Jiangnan and entered the palace 20 years ago.

Ye Xiaoxian had to say, "my concubine is from Qinghe County and belongs to the southernmost."

They thought that there would be no intersection. They should just look like.

The Empress Dowager then drew everyone's attention back: "look at you, Mrs. Xiao looks like her mother. It's just a coincidence. There's no relationship between them. Don't speculate. Next, let's enjoy our tribute while eating some snacks."

First came the snacks and drinks in the palace. In Ye Xiaoxian's eyes, these things were not very good, but they were all packed in exquisite dishes, so the food looked high-grade.

Then there is the tribute. The first one is a glass vase. The vase has five kinds of patterns, which shine together.

Seeing this, they all exclaimed, saying that the glazed vase was really rare.

Only Ye Xiaoxian didn't think there was anything. Glass is glass. It's rare in these days, so it looks strange. If it's put in modern times, it's an ordinary vase.

This vase was given by the queen to Mrs. Shangshu. Mrs. Shangshu couldn't help smiling when she received the vase.

Ye Xiaoxian could not help sighing. This thing is really worthless. Alas!

The second jade bracelet made Ye Xiaoxian feel rare.

The jade is crystal clear. Even if you don't know much about jade, you can see that the texture is pure and mild. If you wear it on your hand, it can immediately become the temperature of your body.

This kind of jade, if placed in modern times, is very valuable.

However, other officials and family members are obviously used to such texture. They don't look very rare. The Jadeites in this era are pure and have many kinds. It's estimated that they are used to it.

Ye Xiaoxian couldn't help sighing in her heart: if she wasn't from the same era, her values were different.

Later, some pure sheep horn combs and rare night pearls were added.

On the way, the queen asked her servants to bring a brocade box. She smiled and said, "guess what's in this brocade box?"

This brocade box is not transparent. Who can guess what's inside.

But even so, a group of people spoke one after another:

"I guess it must be a rare treasure!"

"It must not be ordinary."

"Yes, after all, it's the finale."

“……”

The queen smiled: "this is the Tianshan snow lotus from the Tianshan tribe in Baoning city. Tianshan snow lotus grows in extremely cold places, and only blooms once in five or six years on the hillside of Tianshan. It is a woman's holy medicine. Although we don't lack Tianshan snow lotus in the imperial medical room, we usually see dried flowers, and this one is sealed with cold ice, which is very rare!"

After that, the queen opened the brocade box. The people looked again and found that there was a fresh Tianshan snow lotus in it.

The queen said again: "this Tianshan snow lotus, the palace wants to give it to Mrs. Xiao, because General Xiao is fighting in front. It's very hard. Only Mrs. Xiao can enjoy this honor."

Ye Xiaoxian has seen Tianshan snow lotus in Tianshan tribe. In fact, she doesn't care about it. For one thing, Tianshan snow lotus is used to cure diseases. She's not ill now. Second, although the snow lotus is fresh, if you want to achieve medicinal value, you still need to get it to the royal doctor's room and let the royal doctor dry it. Only in this way can it have efficacy.

She actually wants that jade bracelet.

But this is from the queen. She has no choice, and she can't exchange it with others in private. Otherwise, this behavior is also a great sin.

Ye Xiaoxian went up to receive the reward.

When she stepped forward, everyone stared at her again, and then someone talked about it again:

"It's like!"

"No, it's like walking."

"Except not so charming, everything else is like."

Ye Xiaoxian ignored everyone's comments, but concentrated on receiving the reward.

When she took the brocade box from the queen, she saw the queen smiling at her like a Mona Lisa.

Ye Xiaoxian's heart trembled with laughter. She always felt that the queen had some conspiracy.

In ancient times, especially in imperial palaces, it was easy to plot as long as there were many women. Ye Xiaoxian always felt that if she crossed to ancient times to be a concubine, she might not survive an episode.

She has this sense of crisis now.

……

The dinner party lasted until 8 or 9 p.m. people in this era used to go to bed early. Many officials and family members yawned at this point.

The Queen's treasure was almost rewarded, so they dispersed.

Ye Xiaoxian was ready to go, but the queen stopped her at this time: "Mrs. Xiao, wait a minute, there are still some things the palace wants to tell you."

Ye Xiaoxian wondered, so she stayed temporarily.

Her intuition is that the queen is upset and kind. It is estimated that there is really a conspiracy.

Ji and others are almost gone. There are only the queen and ye Xiaoxian, as well as the palace maids who serve the queen.

The queen looked kind: "Mrs. Xiao, you don't have to be nervous. The palace wants you to stay. It doesn't mean anything else. It just feels that your husband is fighting on the front line. As the queen, the Palace should sympathize with the general's family."

"Thanks for the Queen's sympathy." Ye Xiaoxian said.

The queen said again, "you've been living in the master's house recently, haven't you? In fact, you could have lived in the general's house. Why have you been living in the master's house all the time?"

Ye Xiaoxian smiled bitterly: "I don't know, this is the arrangement of the national teacher."

"Oh." In fact, the queen clearly knew it.

The queen smiled and said, "are you still used to living in the National Teacher's house?"

"Still used to it."

"Just get used to it. I'm afraid you're not used to it. If you need anything, you can send someone to send a message to the palace. As long as you're within your ability, the palace will help you."

The empress's sudden enthusiasm confused Ye Xiaoxian.

Are the people in this palace so uncertain?

Ye Xiaoxian had to say, "thank you for your concern."

Then the topic came to Tianshan tribe. The queen asked Ye Xiaoxian, "I heard that you spent some time in Baoning City, didn't you?"

Ye Xiaoxian nodded: "it's been two or three years."

"How's the environment over there?" Asked the queen.

After being trapped for so long, ye Xiaoxian naturally missed life there. She said, "there are Tianshan Mountains, green mountains and green waters, cattle and sheep eating grass on the grass, people riding horses and grazing happily, and life is free."

After hearing this, the queen suddenly sighed and said, "no wonder."

no wonder?

Ye Xiaoxian did not understand why the queen said so.

The queen asked, "can you often see six kings and seven kings over there?"

Ye Xiaoxian didn't know where she was. She thought the queen was asking about their private affairs. She said, "I don't see them often. I only see them once a year. During the animal Festival, the seventh Lord will come over to ride a horse and shoot arrows."
