In the afternoon, Xu Chunjun and Jiang Nuan packed up and went to greet the queen.

Because of Huo Tian's high official position, before Cen Yunchu entered the palace, Jiang Nuan had entered the palace several times.

But Xu Chunjun and the Queen met for the first time.

After the two saluted and got up, the queen ordered someone to serve tea, and said to them with a smile: "I know that you and Cen Zhaoyi are close friends in the boudoir, and now it seems that birds of a feather flock together, and you are both such outstanding talents."

Xu Chunjun and Jiang Nuan hurriedly said they didn't dare to take the role, and the queen asked Jiang Nuan again: "I heard that you are pregnant again, how many months have you been now? Can you still accept it?
If you want to eat anything, you must tell the people in the future, there is everything in this palace, just ask them to get it for you. "

"Thank you, Empress, for your concern. My wife is fine, and I am used to eating without taboo." Jiang Nuan replied.

"That's good," the queen nodded and said, "Although you are here to accompany Cen Zhaoyi by order, there are children and relatives at home, so it's okay to go back and see from time to time. If you are afraid that people will not let you go, you can come Find me."

Xu Chunjun and Jiang Nuan agreed and thanked the queen.

"Your eldest son is almost one and a half years old, isn't he?" the queen asked Jiang Nuan, "Now that he is happy again, if he spends scattered leaves on Huo's family, Yu Guo will also be of great merit.

After all, the Huo family has made great contributions to the country and has been loyal from generation to generation. It's a pity that the population is small. You should have more children. "

The queen is worthy of being a queen, and she speaks very nicely.

Apart from thanking Jiang Nuan with a smile, she didn't say anything else.

The queen turned her face to Xu Chunjun, looked at her calmly, and said: "Your grandfather was the prime minister of the previous dynasty, and your father and your uncle are also loyal and capable ministers.

Although you are a woman, you are of the blood of the Xu family and influenced by the family tradition, so you are outstanding among all the skirts.

I have also heard people say that how you run a family is really ambitious, broad-minded, and visionary. "

"My wife is panicking. My lady has praised you too much. I don't dare to take it." Xu Chunjun's attitude is submissive, and his voice is soft, "Chunjun's family has fallen since he was young. He grew up in the countryside. He has no talent or virtue. duty.

Thanks to the help of relatives and friends, I have just lived the life I am today.It's not that I have any talents, it's just a fluke. "

"You're just being modest, but I know it. It's the same reason for a woman to run a family and a man to be an official." The queen smiled, "It's never possible to rely on outsiders for help, but it's a pity that you are only a daughter, otherwise you will be in trouble." There must be something in the officialdom."

"The Empress's mother respects the world, and she is in charge of the six palaces. She is the model of women in the world." When it comes to flattery, Xu Chunjun has never had to draw up drafts. Forgive me."

"It's outrageous to say this, you two are here to accompany Cen Zhaoyi according to the oracle, and it can be regarded as sharing my worries. I should thank you," the queen said with a smile, "you two will have to work hard in the future.

Cen Zhaoyi is the emperor's beloved concubine, and this is her first child, so it is right to be more careful.

It's just that sometimes I can't help taking care of you, so I have to rely on the two of you. "

Xu Chunjun and Jiang Nuan hurriedly said that this is their duty.

The queen invited the two of them to have tea again. After drinking a cup of tea, Xu Chunjun gave Jiang Nuan a wink, and the two got up to say goodbye to the queen.

The queen didn't force her to stay, she said: "You have just entered the palace, and you have walked around, which can be regarded as recognition.

Don't just stay in one place for nothing, it's boring.

Although there are many rules in the palace, they are not used to scare people, but to let everyone abide by the rules and not mess with the common law.

The emperor is not in the palace now, and you have nothing to avoid.

Besides, it's rare for anyone to come in this palace, and they are happy to have someone to talk to! "

Xu Chunjun and Jiang Nuan agreed, ready to withdraw.

But the queen said: "Wait a minute, it's the first time for you to come to my palace, and I ordered someone to prepare a gift for you. There are not many things, but it can be regarded as my heart."

Speaking of which, a maid from the queen's palace brought two boxes and sent them to Xu Chunjun and Jiang Nuan respectively.

The boxes were opened, and each set of jewelry was placed inside.

At first glance, you can tell that it is a good thing. Even though Jiang Nuan has a lot of jewelry in his house, he can't pick out a few of such fineness.

Taking such a heavy gift as a meeting ceremony, Xu Chunjun had to sigh in his heart that the empress is really generous.

But since the queen has already rewarded them, it is inconvenient for the two of them to refuse, but they seem to be ignorant of flattery.

So he thanked the queen again before leaving.

"Concubine Hui is not here, let's go to Zhaoyi Palace for a meeting ceremony." Xu Chunjun said, "It will be too late if we don't go two days."

"According to the old slave's wishes, go to Shui Zhaoyi Palace first, and then go to Feng Zhaoyi's side." Bai Fu said, "Usually, there are a few ladies at Feng Zhaoyi's side who are touching dominoes. Have you seen each other?" Are you okay?"

"That's great, let's do what my father-in-law said." Xu Chunjun said with a smile.

He asked Jiang Nuan again: "Can you still walk? If you are tired, sit down and rest first."

"I also run in the front yard and back yard every day in the mansion, why do I get tired after walking these few steps." Jiang Nuan said with a smile, "I'll see you soon, so you don't have to worry about it."

At this time, Shui Zhaoyi was watching the maids and eunuchs changing the water for the goldfish on the porch, and went in when they saw Xu Chunjun and Jiang Nuan coming.

Order someone to watch the tea, and serve some of her favorite snacks on weekdays.

"What I eat and drink here is different from other places," Shui Zhaoyi said, "Sister Chen is quite used to it, but the other concubines don't like it too much, saying it tastes weird.

I don't know if the two of you can get used to eating, if you like it, eat more, if you don't like it, don't force it.

I'm used to being casual and straight-talking. "

Jiang Nuan liked her character very much, and said with a smile: "We usually go to the palace to see Madam Cen, and she always says you are a sincere person.

I'm the most straight-tempered person who doesn't know the twists and turns, and I feel really comfortable hearing my mother talk like this. "

Shui Zhaoyi was also amused by her, and said: "I heard earlier that Huo Tian was so heroic that he married a naive girl.

Now it seems that it's not that you are stupid, it's just that outsiders don't know how good you are.

I have a little sister who is also as old as you. She was born when I married into the palace.

A few days ago Tokiomi came to Beijing and brought her portrait, which is somewhat similar to you. "

"Sure enough, people with similar temperaments only need to say a few words, and they feel like old acquaintances." Jiang Nuan said with a smile, "If Shui Zhaoyi doesn't dislike it, I will often come to your palace to play."

"Of course that's good. People who have stayed in this palace for a long time are becoming less and less interesting. It's better for you who come from outside to be more fresh." Shui Zhaoyi is also very happy to get close to Jiang Nuan, "I like to look at people's eyes , A person's temperament is all hidden in his eyes."
