Mu Huagui

Chapter 26
The three sisters Chen Jiao'er sat together, the three of them were relatively silent, but the joy in the eyes of the other two couldn't be suppressed.

With Aunt Fu's leadership, the journey went smoothly. Everyone could only faintly hear the carriage stop twice, get out of the carriage and change into a sedan chair, and then walk.Along the way, even a curious girl like Yingying didn't dare to look up at will. It was only when they got off the sedan chair that everyone really looked around.

This is the imperial palace. As a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Chen Jiao'er couldn't help feeling ups and downs. She took a deep breath, calmed down her excitement, and followed closely behind Aunt Fu.

"The Empress Dowager is still taking a nap. You rest in the side hall for a while, and I will send someone to pass the news later." Aunt Fu invited everyone into a side hall to sit down one by one, and then invited two maids to wait on them. I went to wait at the queen mother's place.

"Second sisters, do you know why the Empress Dowager invited us here?" Ming Qiniang applied plaster on her face because of her injuries, and put on a soft hat, covering her face with a light gauze.Li'er stood behind her, and was the first to ask when Aunt Fu left.

All the girls frowned, and asked rashly when entering the palace for the first time, which seemed extremely frivolous.But he also wanted to know how the palace lady would answer, so no one made a sound to stop her.

The maid in blue palace clothes was about thirteen or fourteen years old, her round face showed two prickly dimples with a smile, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, how could the servants know about the Empress Dowager and her old man, so please be safe and don't get bored. "

The other younger and slightly older court lady didn't say a word, she just ordered someone to bring tea in and stopped talking.

Not long after, an aunt wearing the same color palace dress as Aunt Fu brought in a few young maids and said, "Which one is Ming Qiniang from the Ming Mansion, Miss Chen Jiaoer from the Chen Mansion, the Queen Mother is here to invite you, please go to the compassionate palace with your maidservant." Palace." After speaking, he swept a circle around the faces of the two, signaling them to follow.

Unaware of the surprised looks on other people's faces, Chen Jiao'er and Ming Qiniang were even more puzzled and glanced at each other. Ming Qiniang's face was covered by the tulle, and no expression could be seen, but Chen Jiao'er believed that she must be Like myself, at a loss.

Li'er, who was about to follow Xizizi, was stopped by the two maids and said, "I will take care of the ladies, please sit here for a while."

Using eyes to soothe Cherry's uneasiness, Chen Jiao'er and Ming Qiniang followed their aunt out of the side hall, the long corridors, the pillars are carved with exquisite reliefs, and even the green bricks under their feet are polished to a perfect fit .

It is believed that the buildings outside the corridor are even more resplendent, but both of them lowered their heads and did not dare to look around at will.The aunt who was walking in front suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "My servant will take Ming Qiniang to the Hall of Compassion, and please wait here for Miss Chen."

"Yes." Chen Jiao'er didn't dare to have any objection, she stopped her steps honestly, and when the footsteps in front of her gradually faded away, she raised her head and found that there was not even a maid of honor left beside her.

Staying alone in a completely unfamiliar palace, Chen Jiao'er felt a bit of fear for no reason, and became more afraid to act rashly.

"Oh..." There was a chuckle from behind her, and a tall figure turned around from behind her. Chen Jiao'er looked up and said hurriedly, "Master."

"Isn't it quite courageous? You dare to enter the palace like no one in the palace alone with a girl. How can you be like a mouse in the palace? Seeing a cat makes your legs go weak from fright." Zhou Mingyuan looked at Chen Jiao'er He looked embarrassed, and found it very interesting.

Chen Jiao'er didn't speak, Zhou Mingyuan waited for a while, and finally touched his nose boredly and said, "I thought that if you are brave, you must have sharp teeth, but it turns out that you are a gourd without a mouth."

"What is the order of the son of the world, please just tell me." Chen Jiao'er gritted her teeth, and said word by word.

"Oh, it turned out to be a smart one, so let's not talk nonsense, who the hell is Wuhua Temple that day?" Zhou Mingyuan's tone changed, and his temperament seemed to become cold.

"It's Chen Qiluo, and Miss Liu seems to have found out." Chen Jiaoer confessed without hesitation.

"Oh, so it wasn't you." Zhou Mingyuan seemed a little surprised, feeling a little depressed in his heart.

I thought it was this girl who found out about Liu Shuhe, and I was desperate to find a way, but I didn't expect that it was not her in the end.

"Do you know what it is?" Zhou Mingyuan asked after thinking about it.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know." Chen Jiao'er shook her head firmly. It was related to these dignitaries, so she would not take her life to inquire.

Thinking of being left here alone, my heart moved, and I whispered, "Thank you, son."

"Thank you for what I did, I didn't do anything." Zhou Mingyuan blushed slightly, knowing that the other party had noticed the clue.Some embarrassment, some joy.

"Sure enough, she is smart. The Empress Dowager is a very nice person. She likes to eat sweets and listen to people talking..."

Before Zhou Mingyuan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Jiao'er, "Don't worry about it, my son. Jiao'er is an orphan without blessings, so I dare not do such a futile idea."

"Well, if that's the case, then you should be careful." After Zhou Mingyuan finished speaking, he was also surprised. He always thought that most women had long hair and short knowledge, and they only knew how to cry or act like idiots.I have always kept him at a respectful distance, never taking care of him easily.He actually said so many things to her today, if other people found out, his jaw would probably drop in shock.

Chen Jiao'er was also a little moved, she knew very well the nature of the son, she would not easily reveal his true feelings to outsiders, she nodded her head and answered "Yes."

Chen Jiao'er lowered her head and waited for a while, but Zhou Mingyuan didn't make a sound again. She raised her head carefully, only to find that there were people around, and Zhou Mingyuan had disappeared at some point.

After waiting for a while, I saw Aunt Fu brought four other people and went up to the Hall of Compassion with her.Seeing that Chen Jiao'er was waiting in the same place, the four couldn't help showing a little smile, but when they thought that Ming Qiniang was not meeting the Empress Dowager alone, their hearts sank again.

Following everyone's prostration to pay homage, and being lifted up and given a seat by the maid, it was like a dream.

The empress dowager in the Hall of Compassion is wearing Ruyi forging and embroidering multicolored auspicious cloud clothes, and the five phoenixes hanging on the auspicious cloud bun tremble slightly with the voice of the voice.The red gold nine-phoenix-carved red sandalwood seat under her body and the purple-gold embossed hand stove in her hand were things that Chen Jiaoer had never seen before in Liu's residence. She carefully held the silver-white Zhu Liuxia flower cup brought by the maid, and admired the floating on the water. Root needles.

Maybe it was because she was too nervous, even Tang Xiaodie, who was always amused and joking, was not as respectful as she really was.The Empress Dowager talked for a while, then said that she was tired, and asked Aunt Fu to reward them and send them back home.

After returning home like this, Chen Qishan and Tang Xiaodie both pursed their lips, feeling unwilling.When they arrived outside the palace, the carriages from various prefectures were already waiting outside. When everyone boarded the carriages, someone muttered something and realized that Ming Qiniang was not among them.

Did Ming Qiniang go out of the palace, and where was the person at this time, exchanged glances, some were jealous, some were envious, but no one dared to ask loudly at the gate of the palace, everyone remained silent.

Back in the Chen Mansion, Yingying dared to show an excited look, and said, "I didn't see the appearance of those sisters in Jinhuaju just now. They usually ignore the slaves, but now they are going around the slaves, saying that the slaves It is a great blessing to be able to go to the palace once in this life."

"My maidservant sees that the old lady also values ​​young lady very much, otherwise how could I move the yard for you." Cherry became more and more excited as she talked, wishing she could move back to Cuiyun Residence now.

Seeing that Chen Jiao'er was not interested in this, Cherry restrained her excitement embarrassingly.Xin Dao didn't know what the queen mother said to the young lady, why she came back from the palace so unhappy.

On the day Chen Jiao'er moved into Cuiyun Residence, there was news that Ming Qiniang was left in the Empress Dowager's Palace that day, saying that she was in the Empress Dowager's palace to serve her in the Hall of Compassion.

After the Wei family sisters returned to the Duke's Mansion, they were soon invited by Mrs. Liu to the mansion to accompany Liu Shuhe.Chen Jiao'er didn't pay much attention to these things, the royal family was too far away from her, besides, she had a blood feud and didn't want to enter the palace as a doll who would never be free.To be favored by the emperor and ask the emperor to help her avenge her?
How to explain my life experience, I am afraid that if I tell the truth, the first one to be wiped out is myself, a monster.

Looking at the newly added furniture and decorations in Cuiyun Juli, I thought that the old lady's thoughts were in vain.The remaining four people were neither favored by the queen mother nor picked up by the Liu family, so they probably had no chance with the royal family.

Both the eldest lady and the second lady were in the room, carefully asking them about their situation in the Liu residence, especially what the queen mother said when they were in the Hall of Compassion.

Chen Qishan said a little angrily, "I just praised a few words and said that Miss Liu's illness is cured, thanks to us and the like, and then let Aunt Fu send us out of the palace. There is really nothing missing."

Chen Qiluo was exhausted after being entangled with the eldest lady for a few days, and finally said angrily, "You can't let me see the empress dowager and rush to beg her to take me in. She doesn't like me, what can I do?" But she thought in her heart That being said, it would be great to be able to return home alive, and it would be best for Miss Liu to be busy preparing for marriage, and if there is no news for a long time, maybe she won't pursue it anymore.

After Chen Jiaoer moved in, the old lady sent Qin's mother to arrange two rough envoys to come over. Cuiyunju and Jinhuaju are only separated by a corridor. It used to be the old lady's youngest daughter who lived there, but this daughter never lived. It died at the age of ten, and the yard was empty.

When she first arrived in Chen's residence, the old lady also valued her very much and let her live in Cuiyun residence.Later, she was weak and often fell ill, and the old lady was also getting old. She was afraid of getting sick, so she asked the old lady to move her.Unexpectedly, their master and servant would move back one day, Cherry sighed with emotion.

Early in the morning, the old lady's room was lively, the fourth lady, the sixth lady and the seventh lady all gathered together to say hello to the old lady.Seeing Chen Jiao'er, Chen Qishan said, "Sister got such a good place, shouldn't we invite our sisters to have a good time, speaking of sister Jiao'er who has been in the mansion for so long, we haven't bothered."

Miss Six and Miss Seven are all children at heart, and they all clapped their hands and applauded when they heard it, and even the old lady laughed and said, "Sisters should get close and close when they are at home, and let Mother Qin help you take care of it."
