Take your wife with you
The embroidery at the back of the fructus was so small that it was hard to see clearly, but there were still flowers.
The silk handkerchief was the color of silk, but the color was very light. The silk was soft but soaked in sweat, and there weren't many flowers on it. Only four corners had been embroidered, including Fu, Lu, Zhu, Xi, and Xi. The beauty of the silk handkerchief was embroidered into the shape of a flower.
"Embroidered by Qingluo?" So beautiful. " The empress dowager took the fructus and silk handkerchief and turned them over and over. She looked like she loved them so much that she couldn't let them go.
"Qingluo is so coincidental, look at the design, it's so special, all the fructus in Wailing Home only have flowers that are embroidered to the ears, this one of yours was embroidered all the way to the seams, you truly used your heart."
"Why didn't anyone think of embroidering the flower all the way to the end before? Why couldn't they see it later on? So it can be seen that it's useless. This kernels is the same, why did she think of embroidering her calligraphy into flowers?
"At first glance, it looks like a flower has bloomed, and its leaves are extremely beautiful. If you look carefully, it's actually a 'Blessed', 'Lu', 'Prayer', 'Xi', 'Qingluo', the 'Mother' likes it, so you can accept it."
"Of course, I purposely embroidered it to give it to Imperial Mother. Now that I know Imperial Mother likes it, I can relax. I'm just worried that Imperial Mother won't like it."
Zheng Qingluo's heart began to loosen a little. She had always wanted to give things to the empress dowager, but she couldn't make up her mind what to give. She thought about the good letters and finally decided to give them to the empress dowager.
"Look up, look up. Seeing how interested the embroidery is, Wailing Home likes it very much." Her Majesty picked it up again and looked it over carefully. She really did like it.
"I'm so glad that mother likes it. In the future, I will weave more small items for her." Zheng Qingluo saw that the empress dowager was happy and she was happy as well.
"That's great. Wailing Home will be waiting for you." Her Majesty happily passed the things to the Aunt Yan and told her to put them away.
"You have to keep it well for Wailing Home, in a few days it will be the new year, Wailing Home has to bring these two things along, at that time, I have to let them see my wife's filial piety and skill."
His intention was to wear the fructus and bring the silk handkerchief to see the woman. He was giving Qingluo face!
"Thank you, Imperial Mother!" Zheng Qingluo quickly knelt in front of the empress dowager. If the empress dowager thought highly of her, then her first step in the imperial household would be taking her out. The rest was up to her.
Aunt Yan also had eyes. As soon as the empress dowager passed her the eyes, she had already helped Qingluo up.
"Girl, you're too polite. We're family, where did you get so many manners from? Imperial Mother must have told you that you don't need to have so many rules when you come to Imperial Mother's place."
The empress dowager deliberately lowered her face. She was actually extremely happy. Look at our daughter-in-law, she's got a good eye. She knew she was setting up a ladder just by saying a few casual words. How could a child like this not cause anyone to feel pain?
"I will obey mother's imperial decree. Your son will remember it." Zheng Qingluo respectfully bowed as before.
"You know what I'm saying is useless. You're not someone who can mess around with the rules. Hurry up and sit down, don't be so stiff here, mother. Then, see if there are any snacks you like, just casually eat two."
Zheng Qingluo sat next to the empress dowager again. Just as she sat down, she saw a young palace maid walk in from outside. She lightly walked to Aunt Yan's side and spoke to her in a low voice.
"If you have something to say, then say it out loud. Qingluo is not an outsider either." He had something to say to the empress dowager, but someone had to hand it over. The palace wasn't allowed to make a ruckus. Violators were not meant to be punished by slapping them a few times.
"Yes, empress dowager. This servant has come to report that Seventh Prince has come to fetch him. He's currently waiting outside the hall, and would like to come in to kowtow to the empress dowager."
"You still want to wait for your Aunt Yan to report this, just come in." Even though the empress dowager spoke so magnanimously, everyone in the hall knew that you just thought the empress dowager was in a good mood and didn't take her words for real when she spoke so courteously.
"Yes, this servant will invite Seventh Prince into the palace right now." The palace maid turned and quickly walked out of the main hall. After a while, she saw the Seventh Prince walking into the hall with large strides.
"Muhou, Lil 'Seven kowtowed to you. Greetings, muhou." Before Seventh Prince even got close, there were already palace maids laying the cushions. Seventh Prince Luo Qingqi firmly kowtowed three times to the empress dowager.
He then extended his hand to receive the teacup prepared by the palace maid, "Imperial Mother, please have some tea."
The empress dowager laughed as she watched him do this as if it were natural and natural. She accepted the tea and took a big gulp, which Aunt Yan received and passed to the palace maid behind him. The palace maid then took the tea cup and went down.
"Hurry up and get up, or are you waiting for the Queen Mother to help you up?" Her Majesty pointed at Seventh Prince's forehead and looked at him lovingly.
"Muhou, have you had a good day? Are you tired?" Luo Qingqi glanced at Qingluo from the corner of his eyes. He didn't speak to her and went to sit by the empress dowager's side.
"Good, but good. I have a new wife to talk to. I'm not tired. Seventh Brother …" The empress dowager called out to the Seventh Prince and her voice paused for a moment.
"Sigh, Muhou, please speak." Luo Qingqi waited respectfully for the empress dowager to continue speaking, but the empress dowager pointed at Qingluo happily. "Your wife is getting married, it's really not bad."
"That's right!" Luo Qingqi arrogantly raised his head, then smiled and raised his brows. He looked into Zheng Qingluo's eyes, her eyes shining.
Seeing Seventh Prince's proud look, the empress dowager couldn't help but want to stab him with a few words. "If you really don't deserve praise, then you won't be so modest." This is praising your wife, not you. You don't have to be so proud of yourself.
"You are praising my wife, how can I be modest? My wife is not good, is it not worth it for you to praise her? If you can praise my wife, that is proof that I have good eyes. If mother praises me for having good eyes, how can I be modest?
The empress dowager was so amused by him that she trembled with laughter. Every time Xiao Qi came by, the empress dowager would be coaxed into a cheerful mood.
"You know she's from your family, there's no need for you to be so protective. Look at you, you're so petty, you don't even know what to say. Besides, I'm praising your wife. What does it have to do with you? Do you have to praise yourself like a flower?"
Looking at their attitude, Zheng Qingluo could tell that the mother and son pair were used to chatting, and they didn't act apart from each other. Their relationship was really good.
"Muhou, your son can't stay here anymore. He still needs to visit the Grand matriarch. He'll come visit you another day." The mother and son pair chatted for a while before Seventh Prince Luo Qingqi got up and took his leave.
Ever since Seventh Prince Luo Qingqi entered the main hall of the Tzu Ning Palace, Zheng Qingluo had not spoken anymore. She was afraid of interrupting the conversation between the mother and son, and because Luo Qingqi was present, she actually didn't know what to say to the empress dowager.
"Alright, I know you two are busy today. Go quickly, don't make your mufei wait for too long." The Empress Dowager waved her hand, indicating that the two of them could leave. They bowed again, took a few steps back, and prepared to leave.
The empress dowager suddenly thought of this before she shouted to Luo Qingqi, "Seventh Brother, come to the palace again, and think of taking your wife with you. If you're too busy, let your wife do it herself."
"I understand. Imperial Mother, I will bring Qing Luo to see you often." Luo Qingqi clearly agreed, and the two of them bowed once more before walking out of the main hall. Luo Qingqi covered his hands with his sleeves and pulled Zheng Qingluo's hands, walking out of the Tzu Ning Palace's door.
Luo Qingqi supported Qing Luo up the sedan, and then returned to his own sedan. All the way, the two of them did not speak a word, because Aunt Yan had already escorted them all the way to the palace gate.
The palanquin didn't go too far this time, and in a short while, it reached the place the two of them were going. Qingluo alighted from the palanquin and saw that the palace in front of her was slightly smaller than the empress dowager's Tzu Ning Palace.
When Qingluo looked at the signboard, Luo Qingqi also came to her side, still using his sleeves to cover himself, and pulled Zheng Qingluo's hand into his own palm. It seemed like only then would his heart be at ease.
Zheng Qingluo followed his footsteps and walked to the door of the Spring Festival Hall. The people inside seemed to know that the two had arrived and the door slowly opened.
"Seventh Prince, Seventh Princess, Grand Consort is waiting for you. Please follow me." The one who came to pick up Seventh Prince and Seventh Princess wasn't a palace maid, but a eunuch, Zheng Qingluo thought to herself. No wonder she didn't go out to greet them.
"There are steps, please wait a moment." The eunuch's voice was not sharp, but it was a bit clear, not as deep as a normal man's voice. Zheng Qing Luo sneakily glanced at Seventh Prince Luo Qingqi.
Seeing that he didn't have any intention to speak, Zheng Qingluo didn't say anything. She followed the eunuch into the main hall. The eunuch entered the hall first, gave the seat of honor a thousand times, and then reported back to the inside.
"Mistress, Seventh Prince, Seventh Princess has arrived." This time, his voice seemed to have become a bit sharper, but the person inside could still hear his from far away. However, Zheng Qingluo didn't hear her response.
After waiting for a while, a palace maid came out. Seeing the two people waiting at the entrance of the main hall, she quickly stepped forward and carefully bowed to the two masters. Then, she softly asked for forgiveness.
Please forgive this young master. Grand Consort has just drank some medicine, his spirit is finally back to normal now, I have been waiting for you two, please come with me. "
Just drank some medicine? Zheng Qingluo sneaked a glance at Luo Qingqi again, seeing that he still had nothing to say, not even a hint, Zheng Qingluo could only suppress the doubts in her heart, and followed half a step behind him into the main hall.
