Chapter 84 Entering the Palace (1)
"Grandmother don't guess, you'll know when the eldest aunt comes later?"

Xiao Huaisu shook Mrs. Du's hand with a smile. She didn't care about this matter, and she couldn't get along with her anyway. However, when she thought that the Empress was Ye Guanlan's aunt, she couldn't help but feel a little bit moved, but she didn't know this. Do the aunt and nephew look alike?

As expected, Mrs. Wang came in a short while, with Du Yanyun still following behind.

After entering the room, the mother and daughter saluted Mrs. Du first, then Du Yanyun turned to Xiao Huaisu with a smile, "Congratulations to my cousin."

"Me? What am I happy about?"

Xiao Huaisu looked at Du Yanyun in puzzlement, then at Mrs. Wang, and finally fixed on Mrs. Du, her eyes were blank.

"You mother and daughter, don't keep your eyes shut. What exactly did the empress say, tell my old lady quickly." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Du gave Mrs. Wang a reproachful look, "I don't know if I'm just a quick-tempered person? !"

Wang's eyes flashed, and he said immediately: "I'm going to tell my mother-in-law about this, Sister Pianyun is quick to talk," and said with an annoyed look at Du Yanyun, and then said: "The empress's birthday is coming soon, and I have invited all the family members. The female relatives went to the banquet and mentioned Bo Xian..."

"So that's what happened..."

Mrs. Du thought she understood, maybe it was because Du Boxian went back to Beijing to visit her relatives, and the empress got the news, so she made a decree on purpose, "No!" The old lady's expression was serious, Du Yanyun just said congratulations to Xiao Huaisu, " Is there anything left to say?"

Mrs. Wang nodded, and gave Xiao Huaisu a deep look, "Your Majesty also specifically mentioned Huai Su, asking her to enter the palace with us at that time!"

"Let me enter the palace together?"

Xiao Huaisu opened his mouth wide in surprise, and pointed his small finger at himself, "How could the Empress know that there is me?"

She is such a little person, I'm afraid she won't be able to catch the eyes of the empress, even if her grandfather is the chief assistant of the court, but her family Xiao's family is so declining now, let alone the empress, I'm afraid that which family No noble would favor her so much.

Du Yanyun's eyes were twitching, and the corners of his lips curled up into an ambiguous smile, "I'm afraid it has something to do with the son of Guang Enbo."

Everyone immediately understood this.

Mrs. Du glanced at Xiao Huaisu, nodded and said: "It is possible, the Empress has always valued Prince Guang En Bo, if he mentioned something to you, then it is not surprising that the Empress is interested."

Mrs. Wang thought for a while, then frowned and said: "Since the empress has issued a decree, I'm afraid that Huai Su will have to learn the rules of the palace in the past few days, and the clothes for entering the palace will have to be made separately, and the time is a bit tight , but it’s okay to hurry up.”

"Well," Mrs. Du nodded to Mrs. Wang, "I'll leave this matter to you."

The two of you confirmed Xiao Huaisu's next move and arrangement with just one word. It's a pity that she, the person concerned, hasn't expressed her opinion yet, but the empress herself made an order, and she dared not disobey it. The face of the mother of a country is terrible. Not everyone dares to wipe it off.

Besides, entering the palace is not so fun, the rules are too big, I don’t know if it’s because of Ye Guanlan, but she will be busy in the next few days, Xiao Huaisu sighed, and a touch of anger appeared on his face. wry smile.

The queen's birthday is the thirteenth day of the [-]th month, and there are not many days left. While making clothes for Xiao Huaisu, Wang invited the retired teaching nuns from the palace. There are so many people, as long as there are no mistakes, it is safe to pass this level.

He said he was not afraid, but Xiao Huaisu was still a little nervous, the rules in the palace were too strict, when he met those ladies and nobles, he had to kowtow to salute when they met, this is really asking for guilt, isn't it?

Xiao Huaisu also sent news to Zhuangzi, wanting to ask if it was Ye Guanlan's idea, but Uncle Gui wrote back to her, saying that since they left Zhuangzi, Ye Guanlan also took Luo Jue away, and left I don't know where.

Xiao Huaisu bit his lips, and said in a muffled voice: "This guy said he was going back to Bianjing, but now he has disappeared. Could it be that he went to another place to have a good time?" Ye Guanlan pushed her into the fire pit, then turned around and patted his ass and left. Let's see how she will deal with him next time we meet!
"What is my cousin so angry about?"

A soft female voice sounded, and Xiao Huaisu suddenly turned around, only to see Du Yanyun, who was wearing a green dress, turned in with a smile, followed by Feng Chun, who was holding a black lacquered wooden tray, "Your dress is ready, mother!" I specially asked me to send it for you to try first, and if something is not good, you can change it.” After speaking, he turned around and picked up the light yellow Ruyi moire shirt and a crepe skirt sprinkled with emerald flowers from the tray.

Light yellow and emerald green, the color is very fresh and tender, and it is also suitable for little girls to wear.

Xiao Huaisu couldn't help but his eyes lit up, he came forward and stroked the dress lightly, the fine snow satin was thin but warm, the weather in November was getting colder, the thickness of the dress was just right.

"Put it on and try it on!"

Du Yanyun smiled and handed the dress to Qiu Ling, "Wait for your lady to change it, and see if there's anything you don't like."

Qiu Ling took the dress with a smile, Xiao Huaisu turned to Xiao Ju and said, "Bring a pot of tea for Second Cousin," and said to Du Yanyun, "Second Cousin, wait a moment, I'll come as soon as I go."

Du Yanyun nodded, then sat down at the round wooden table and waited patiently.

After a while, Xiao Huaisu appeared in front of her with a new dress. Du Yanyun looked left and right, and couldn't help praising, "It's true that people rely on clothes. Cousin has been wearing filial piety clothes for so long, and people look mature. Wearing some clothes now The fresh and tender color has the vigor of a little girl at once, it’s really pretty!" Then she held her chin and thought for a while, and continued: "I think a light yellow sash will be added to this waist at some time, and the hanging ends will be tied together. The eight-treasure knot, or a suet jade pendant can also be used." His eyes turned up again, "comb two more buns, paired with a pair of butterfly emerald feather gold flower hairpins, I think I can decorate some more around the buns. Scattered millet beads, so lively and delicate, everyone will love them!"

"Where did the second cousin go?"

Xiao Huaisu blushed with embarrassment, but she couldn't help but rejoice seeing her cute appearance in the mirror. Sure enough, women throughout the ages love beauty, whether they are five years old or 50 years old, their nature will not change.

Du Yanyun covered his lips and said with a smile: "The queen empress just wants to see you this time, if you don't dress up beautifully, we can't explain it to you." He said with some emotion, "In previous years, my mother couldn't get away and didn't want Take me with you, I have only participated in this palace banquet three times, this year is the fourth time, Sister Yu is the same as you, it is the first time to go, and this is thanks to the empress's blessing."
