Chapter 132 Royal

Dozens of steps away from Juxiu Palace, Zhao Xing suddenly whispered, "The Empress invited the third lady of Ningyuan Houfu to help treat guests early in the morning. The Empress loves the third lady the most." The smile on Li Xiaoyao's face remained unchanged, but his hand neatly leaned into his purse and took a Jinfu bean and stuffed it into Zhao Xing's hand. Zhao Xing opened his eyes for a moment, as if he understood something. He took over Jin Fudou and said tentatively, "Yesterday, the mother was angry with the third master again. I heard that the third master cried as soon as he had something to do." Li Xiaoyao listened attentively, and his men kept stuffing Jin Fudou. Zhao Xing grinned and muttered in a low voice, "It would be nice if Miss Li could often enter the palace in the future."

Li Xiaoyao's face smiled a lot, and his words were not far from Juxiu Palace. Zhao Xing subconsciously shrank his shoulders, closed his mouth and did not dare to say another word. Li Xiaoyao also mentioned it nervously. This Empress Guo is also a famous virtuous and filial piety. Legend has it that she is comparable to the late Empress Xiaoci. Since her voice I don't know whether he is so famous, virtuous or virtuous. That's for sure to be shrewd.

Zhao Xing stopped walking when he entered the palace gate. Li Xiaoyao did not dare to move. He stood with his head slightly and waited for someone to lead. After waiting for a cup of tea, two maids in the same blue and gray skirts in the hanging flower door stood two or three steps away in front of Li Xiaoyao, and said in a soft but cold voice: "The Empress asked Miss Li to enter. ."

Li Xiaoyao followed the two maids through the hanging flower door and turned around the double-sided embroidered screen with rich and noble flowers on a bright yellow background. The front was suddenly cheerful. Li Xiaoyao walked along the corridor and walked forward meticulously, while quietly looking everywhere with the corners of his eyes. The yard was extremely large. On the lotus-shaped stone platform east of the weeping door, there was only The bronze-embroidered mottled bronze tripod. In the west corridor, there are two bulging and extremely vivid toads. Next to the steps of the main hall, there are two bronze cranes more than one person high on the left and one right. The two cranes hold their heads high, their long mouths are half open, and their wings are ready to fly. In the four corners of the corridor, there are four pots of huge iron trees. The corridor is full of various birds on one side of the yard, flying up and down, singing happily, but on the other side is a tablet. Li Xiaoyao has a strange feeling in his heart. It's okay to be paired with bronze tripods and bronze cranes, with so many bright cages and birds with bright feathers, which is a strange beauty. Question mark

When the three reached the steps of the main hall, a maid turned around and ordered, "Wait here." Li Xiaoyao quickly lowered his hand and stood still, and did not dare to look around. He paid full attention to the movement around him.

After another cup of tea, there was finally a summoning sound on the half-high steps. Li Xiaoyao slightly carried her skirt up the steps and followed the maid of the blue and gray skirt into the hall.

The hall was covered with a rich velvet carpet. Li Xiaoyao followed the maid without squinting and turned the hundred treasures. The warm winter sun shone along the kang through the glazed windows. Li Xiaoyao knelt down in front of the semi-old bullet ink mat in front of the kang and made three or nine salutes.

"Get up and let me see." There was a condescending grace in her voice. Li Xiaoyao stood up, bent her knees again, raised her head, with a respectful smile on her face, and looked up at the kang. Queen Guo looked as if she was only 20 years old, but her round face was extremely small, with big eyes, dense and long eyelashes, exquisite nose and mouth, and slightly chin. It's sharp. It's like an ancient costume doll. It's so beautiful that people can't believe it's a real person. It's looking at her coldly and sharp.

"I'm clumsy. I don't see what's good. Take a look for me." Empress Guo turned her head and looked in front of the kang and said. Li Xiaoyao looked over with Guo Hou's eyes. She was only full of amazement and almost exclaimed. The 17 or 18-year-old girl standing on the edge of the kang had a four-five-point look of Guo Hou, but she had a very beautiful melon seed face. The gentle sharp jaw arc was perfect. Guo Hou's beauty. Guo Hou's bad place It's perfect here. There is no picky place on her face. Her hair is black and soft, with a new cross bun, lotus-sized pearl pendant hair, slender and slender figure, a very light pink tight jacket with a pine skirt. Standing there, the drifting dust is indescribably. This It must be Guo Yurong, the eldest daughter of Guo Li, the Marquis of Ningyuan, and Guo Yurong, the third wife of the Guo family. No wonder Guo Hou loves her the most. She was born like this. Who doesn't hurt when she sees it? Li Xiaoyao can't look away. She has never seen such a beautiful woman in her life.

"Look at what my aunt said, if my aunt's eyes were clumsy, wouldn't the servants have no eyes that day?! This is not clumsy." Mrs. Guo didn't look at Li Xiaoyao. Her smile was better than the flowers blooming. She spoke gently with Guo Hou. Li Xiaoyao breathed secretly and her voice was very beautiful. They all said that Guo Yurong was Kaiping Mansion. No, she was the first talented woman in Beiping. Not to mention the first beauty was sure.

Queen Guo's eyes were full of smiles, raised her hand and nodded at Mrs. Guo. She smiled and said anxiously, "You child, you can just talk!" Guo Sanniangzi squeezed her lips and smiled, with a little lingering light from the corners of her eyes. She glanced at Li Xiaoyao. Guo then turned his head and glanced at Li Xiaoyao and asked faintly, "How's Mr. Lu's body?"

"To the mother's words, Mr. Lu wrote a letter last month, saying that he is healthy." Li Xiaoyao replied respectfully. Mrs. Guo looked back at Guo, raised her chin to Li Xiaoyao and asked, "How did you see Mr. Lu?"

"It's also a coincidence that Mr. practiced medicine in Chizhou Prefecture." Li Xiaoyao turned his head and looked at Mrs. Guo, with the same respect in her voice. Mrs. Guo, Xizi, frowned like a beautiful heart and asked, "When?"

"Five years ago."

"Hmm." Guo Hou frowned and nodded to Mrs. Guo. Guo San dragged Li Xiaoyao from the corners of her eyes. She looked at Guo Hou and said with a smile, "It's all my aunt's fault! I'm also so clumsy that I can't see anything! Cousin Cheng is really honest. Mr. Lu agreed, so he really used it as a staff member?! I don't know what he is good about!" Guo Hou looked at Mrs. Guo with a smile, raised her hand and stretched out to Mrs. Guo with a smile and said, "It's almost time. Let's go there." Mrs. Guo hurriedly helped Guo Hou get off the bed. Guo Hou was in front of her. Mrs. Guo helped her and laughed in a low voice. Li Xiaoyao and the maids followed her all the way to the Chonghua Hall.

Outside the Chonghua Hall, Lv Feng stood at the outermost intersection, staring at the end of the detour as if enjoying the surrounding beautiful scenery. Su Zicheng, Su Ziyi and Lv Hua stood under the steps and whispering and laughing. Su Zicheng glanced at the outside of the hall from time to time, looking at Lv Feng, who had been stretching his neck and kept looking at it, and frowned from time to time. At the door of the hall, Princess Ning was He handed over to Su Biruo.

Guo Sanniangzi took Guo Hou and turned from a detour into the sight of everyone in the hall. Lv Feng blinked his eyes, retreated to Su Zicheng and asked in a low voice, "Where is Xiao Wu?" Su Zicheng stared at him impatiently and ignored him. Lv Hua frowned and stared at Lv Feng. Lv Feng** looked at Lv Hua, shrank his shoulders, retreated to Lv Hua's side, and dared not say anything more.

Several people saw Guo Hou up the steps and came in, bowing respectfully. Guo Hou stopped, raised his hand with a kind smile, and said, "Don't be polite. Today is a family banquet, not a national ceremony." With that, he turned to Lv Hua and Lv Feng, looked up and down carefully, and praised with a smile, "The Lv family, the heavenly master, really lives up to its reputation. It's really a dragon and phoenix among people. Look, compare your uncles!" Guo Hou pointed to Su Ziyi and Su Zicheng and smiled. Guo Sanniangzi's eyes moved from Lv Hua and Lv Feng to Su Zicheng and stopped. Li Xiaoyao followed with a smile and looked at everyone's greeting. Lv Feng glanced at Guo Hou and Mrs. Guo and squeezed her eyes at her. Guo Hou went up the steps. Mrs. Guo quickly let go of her aunt and bent her knees slightly to see Princess Ning.

Without waiting for everyone to see the good gift, the waiter outside reported loudly, and the emperor came.

Everyone rushed out of the hall. Guo Hou was at the front, and Guo Sanniangzi followed closely. Wei took Su Biruo and took a few steps to catch up with Su Ziyi. There were four people with Su Zicheng. They were half a step behind. Lv Hua turned his head and looked at Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao hurriedly took two steps, followed Lv Hua side by side with Lv Feng, and finally greeted him. Go.

The emperor is medium-sized, slightly fat and white, but his skin is loose. People in his fifties look much older. He holds a ten-year-old man in one hand and wears a bright yellow silk gown. He looks very much like Guo's beautiful teenager. Both of them look very similar, both have the same face is soft and peaceful, and his gait is gentle and light. Li Xiao Yao looked at the two carefully. It seemed that the legend outside was true. The emperor was gentle and generous and lost his hesitation and cowardice. Looking at this, the third son looked like his mother. He was afraid that his temper was very similar to his father. No wonder the emperor loved him the most. No wonder Guo Hou thought he cried as soon as he had something happened. His mother must not I want a son with such a personality.

The emperor's smile was as warm as a spring breeze, and his voice spoke gently to his sons. Then he turned to Lv Hua and others. He looked at Lv Hua and Lv Feng carefully and said with a smile, "The face and body are very close to Mr. Lv. Is the heavenly master safe?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and your father is well!" Lv Hua was about to kneel down with his long shirt. The emperor quickly raised his hand to stop him with a smile: "Today's courtesy, be casual."

"Yes!" Lv Hua answered with a smile. The emperor took two steps, stood in front of Li Xiaoyao, looked at her with a smile behind his back. Li Xiaoyao gave a blessing on his knees with a smile. The emperor asked with a gentle smile, "How old are you Li Xiaoyao?"

"I'm seventeenth." Li Xiaoyao replied with a smile, and the emperor gently said, "Since Mr. Lu recommended you to Ah Cheng, you must be different, but it's a big deal for the girl's family to marry a good person. Don't just report the kindness of your encounter and delay the lifelong event. Do you hear that?" The emperor spoke softly to Li Xiaoyao like a chattering elder. Li Xiaoyao's heart was warm and soft by him. He hurriedly bent his knees and thanked, "This is the emperor's love for Xiaoyao, and Xiaoyao wrote it down."
