ugly queen

Chapter 13

"Yes, the little girl is Liuliu. I don't know why the two sisters are looking for the elder sister?"

The little maid looked at each other, and was slightly surprised when she heard Liu Liu calling them younger sisters. She imagined that Miss Liu Er should be an arrogant and domineering person, but unexpectedly she was a cold and warm person. She even said The words he uttered are also full of deep and pleasant magnetism, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

"The Empress Dowager ordered her servants to come and pick up Miss Liu to the Palace of Compassion. The Empress Dowager said she misses Miss Liu," the little maid said, taking a step back and motioning for Liu Liu to get on the sedan chair. Under the curtain, before getting on the sedan chair, in the blink of an eye, I saw a lot of eager and envious eyes sweeping over, and a smile appeared on Liu Liu's lips. I think this is also my aunt's plan to shake the mountain and knock the tiger. I am afraid that I will My niece was bullied by others, so I made my attitude clear first.

"Thank you, my two sisters," Liuliu got on the sedan chair, her faint words pierced through the thin air, and the two little maids smiled and led the way, followed by the maids Cui'er and Qiao'er.

The sedan chair turned around and passed through the palace. Liu Liu lifted up a corner of the sedan curtain and looked at the palace. The sun shone brightly on the glazed roof, shining brightly, surrounded by palace walls, and the tile eaves fluttered. Thousands of people have been locked in a huge cage, and they have been trapped here for their entire lives.

With a faint sigh, will he leave here again?Or are you going to be locked here for the rest of your life?
Suddenly, the majestic and magnificent harem has arrived, with verdant trees, green trees and red flowers, a pavilion in three steps, a bridge in five steps, there are railings on the bridge, flying towers are inserted into the sky, and there is a scene of prosperity everywhere. , the eunuchs and maids all had beaming expressions on their faces. Today is a good day for the emperor's draft, and everyone is infected with such joy.

The sedan chair turned around and walked towards the third palace. The Compassionate Ning Palace is located in the third palace, at the back. The rest are the six palaces of the East Palace and the six palaces of the West Palace. There are [-] palaces in total, and only Yunhua Palace is currently there. There lived Zhang Xiuyi, Zhang Xiuyi was from the second grade, the daughter of Zhang Zhisan, the servant of the Ministry of Rites.

The sedan chair quickly stopped in front of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and the tall and gorgeous jade plaque was inscribed with three powerful characters "Palace of Compassion and Ning." Many exotic flowers and trees were planted in front of the gate, forming a green barrier. He Qiaoer had already walked over from behind, and said respectfully: "Miss, please come down, the Compassionate Ning Palace is here."

After Qiao'er finished speaking, she raised the curtain of the sedan chair, and Cui'er stretched out her hand to help Liu Liu get off the sedan chair.

Liu Liu raised her head and took a look around, then slowly looked at the Palace of Compassion and Ning. There were already two nuns, two maids and two eunuchs standing guard in front of the palace gate. Seeing Liu Liu getting off the sedan chair, she was busy Going forward to greet Miss Liu respectfully: "Servants (servants) greet Miss Liu," Liu Liu waved her hand to signal everyone to stand up.

The maids of the Palace of Compassion and Ning respectfully invited Liu Liu to enter the Palace of Compassion and Ning. On the tall lintel was written the three characters of Palace of Compassion and Ning. Liu Liu lifted up the hem of her skirt with one hand and gracefully stepped up the jade steps. Cui'er and Qiao'er followed closely Walking behind the young lady into the Compassion Palace.

The Palace of Compassion Ning is resplendent and resplendent with musk. The empress dowager sits high on the phoenix couch made of brocade silk, wearing a luxurious purple phoenix skirt. Although she is old, she still has the charm, her smile is like a flower, and she looks at Yingying. Liu Liu, who bowed down, said softly: "Liu'er, get up, come and talk to Ai's family for a while." Liu Liu listened to the Queen Mother's words, slowly got up and walked to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was reluctant to give up. Pulling Liuliu's jade hand, she sat down on the phoenix couch, and the maid beside her served tea.

The Queen Mother looked at Liu Liu, and asked lovingly, "Is Liu Er still nervous? There is something wrong with everything."

Liu Liu looked at the queen mother beside her, looking at herself with concern, smiled lightly, her eyes were full of brilliance, and said briskly: "Don't worry, aunt, Liu'er is not nervous, what should come or not, Liu It's Liu'er's fault for making my aunt bother."

As soon as Liu Liu's words fell, Feng Yun, the Empress Dowager, smiled with satisfaction. Liu Liu was more sensible than before, and I hope everything will be fine for her in the palace.

"Liu'er can think so, the Ai family can feel relieved," the empress dowager smiled heartily, and the entire Compassionate Palace was filled with joyful atmosphere. Liu Liu took the tea in hand and took a sip of it gently. , although it is not as precious as Dahongpao, it is a rare variety, and it is also a rare high-quality tea.

"It smells so good," Liu Liu sighed contentedly. After listening to Liu Liu's words, the empress dowager suddenly became interested: "So Liu'er also understands tea?"

Liu Liu didn't think about it. She likes to drink tea, and she has to taste all kinds of tea, so there are many good teas in Yunxiao Pavilion. Some insights.

"I don't really understand, I just like to drink tea, so naturally I understand more," the voice was deep and slow like spring water, warmly melting into the bottom of people's hearts.

The empress dowager couldn't help but love her a little more. Although this Liu'er looks ordinary, she is a woman with connotations. In time, the emperor may find out that she is good. The empress dowager couldn't help but smile happily. Just as he was about to speak, a young eunuch ran in outside the door of the Compassionate Ning Palace, and quickly knelt down.

"Empress Dowager, Empress Xiuyi has come to pay her respects to Empress Dowager, please go to Chuxiu Palace with Empress Dowager, the emperor will pass by from the other side."

The Empress Dowager let go of Liu Liu's hand, turned around and told the little eunuch: "Go and call her in."

The little eunuch responded respectfully: "Yes, Empress Dowager," and retreated slowly.

Liu Liu stared at the woman who came in from the gate of the palace. She was beautiful and graceful, with green temples and cool sleeves. She looked as elegant as a chrysanthemum, exuding a natural and fresh luster.

Zhang Xiuyi led the four maids into the Palace of Compassion and Ning slowly, with a slender waist, raised her hands and feet, showing extraordinary bearing, Yingying bowed down to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager: "My concubine pays her respects to the Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager waved her hands and said softly, "Get up and sit down."

Zhang Xiuyi responded, and slowly retreated to the side, looked up at the high seat, and saw a masked Qingling woman sitting beside the queen mother, her eyes were as bright as water, and her spirit was as clear as dust, the queen mother loves her so much, this is probably the queen mother The empress's own niece, Liu Liu, the second daughter of Prime Minister Liu's family, the big dispute in this draft is how the emperor will arrange for the second daughter of Liu. Seeing you now, Zhang Xiuyi feels that the second daughter of Liu is not as good as the rumors It's unbearable, looking at the water in her eyes, she must be a woman with thousands of talents.

The empress dowager glanced at Zhang Xiuyi, took Liu Liu's hand, and introduced with a smile: "Liu'er, this is the empress Xiuyi, hurry up and see the ceremony."

Liu Liu wanted to object, why should she be greeted by her, but thinking that she was in the palace, it was better to be careful, as the saying goes, once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, slowly get up and answer Yes, walked down the steps, stood in front of Zhang Xiuyi, and spoke politely.

"My little girl has met Empress Xiuyi."

Zhang Xiuyi didn't wait for Liu Liu to bend down, and quickly supported Liu Liu's body: "Sister, don't be polite, it should be the younger sister who greets the older sister," Zhang Xiuyi said, and saluted Liu Liu, Liu Liu only raised her eyebrows He opened his mouth lightly.

"Ms. Xiuyi has spoiled my little girl, please stop doing this."

As soon as Liu Liu finished speaking, the empress dowager waved her hand lovingly: "Liu'er, come and sit next to Ai's family." The two aunts sat down, and the empress dowager held Liu Liu's hand while looking at Zhang Xiuyi below: "The Ai family has always liked Liu'er's personality the most. point."

"Don't worry, Empress Dowager, this concubine will definitely live up to her trust. My sister is such a spiritual person, she will definitely be deeply favored by the emperor."

Liu Liu, who originally had a good impression of Zhang Xiuyi, couldn't help but frowned, with a trace of displeasure in her eyes, it seemed that this woman was also a flatterer, why should she be close friends with her, all the women in the palace revolved around one man, no one It is worthy of deep friendship.

"Sit down too," the empress dowager was very satisfied after hearing Zhang Xiuyi's words, and finally opened her mouth to give her a seat. Zhang Xiuyi glanced at the Liuliu above her, and couldn't help feeling slightly jealous. The empress dowager's own niece, this What a great honor, I don't know how many concubines she can become in today's draft, but it must be higher than her own.

"Liu Er, don't be nervous. No matter what the emperor says, aunt is here for everything?" The queen mother exhorted softly, for fear that Liu Liu would be wronged. Choose Liuliu to be the queen, because this is the last edict of the first emperor. If the emperor dares not listen, then the elder will be abolished and the younger will be established.

"Thank you, aunt," Liu Liu said softly, but she hummed in her heart, if the emperor could not choose her, she would feel at ease, and then three times a day she would offer incense to God.

"Don't worry, empress dowager. The emperor has always been filial. He knows that the empress dowager loves his sister, so he will definitely make her a queen." As soon as Zhang Xiuyi's words fell, the empress dowager smiled with satisfaction. Liu Liu's body trembled and her face turned pale. Please, she I don't want to be a queen at all, and become a woman who is criticized by everyone.

The empress dowager didn't know what was going on in Liu Liu's mind, she thought Liu Liu was a little timid, so she comforted her softly: "Don't worry, Liu Er, my aunt will teach you when the time comes."

"Yes," Liuliu, one head and two big ones, was exhausted after just a short time of effort. The rules in this palace are so complicated, she can't be that woman who stands tall in the world, so let her be in the palace. It is good to fend for itself.

The Empress Dowager was talking to Liu Liu, when a loud figure barged in and said playfully, "Hey, where's the Empress Dowager?"

The person who came was the current emperor's younger sister, little princess Feng Wuyang, and there was no one else who could yell loudly in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, except her. Liu Liu, rushed over quickly.
