Chapter 11 Empress
West Courtyard
"Mother, Qiang'er is a little hungry." Nie Qiang sat leaning against the Shen family and said coquettishly.
Without waiting for Shen to speak, Su Hong met Xiang'er beside Nie Qiang to get some snacks.
"Why are you hungry again?" Shen looked at her daughter with a smile, "How can I eat like this?"
Nie Qiang held her cheek and looked at her mother strangely. "My mother didn't say that Qiang'er didn't eat much."
"That was in the past, and you didn't eat much when you were a child. Now you have to eat five or six meals a day." He raised his hand and gently nodded Nie Qiang's forehead.
Nie Qiang was in pain and covered her forehead. "My mother is afraid that I will empty the royal house, isn't it?"
"It's you."
Nie Mei coldly looked at the scene of 'mother's kindness and filial piety' in front of her, and smiled with contempt. In her eyes, Shen was the enemy who killed her mother. If it hadn't been for her, her mother wouldn't have died. It's not that she was sad for the dead, but it was just a pity. Unfortunately, she died too early to see herself. How to let the poisonous woman's family leave the house in the future? It's a pity that she can't help herself, so that she can only fight alone now.
Seeing Xiang'er come in with a plate of hot dim sum cakes, Nie Mei hurriedly greeted them. Before Xiang'er put down the dim sum, she took two of them and ate them.
Shen shook her head and asked her to eat slowly, but the afterglow of her eyes looked back at Nie Mei's smiling face. She couldn't help but be angry. When she looked at it again, Nie Mei had already lowered her head and dared not look at her.
Shen stroked her bun and knocked down the teacup that Su Hong had just made as soon as she raised her hand. Shen looked at Su Hong, and Su Hong hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "I'm going to die."
Another maid beside her also quickly squatted down to dry the tea stains splashed on the cuffs for Shen. That's all. This tea stain can't be wiped. She let the maidservant retreat again and looked at Su Hong, who was still kneeling, and said in a low voice, "Let's go."
Su Hong quickly stood up from the ground and bent down to hold Shen sitting on the chair.
When the two got up, Nie Qiang just sat next to him and ate pastries and seemed to know nothing. When he came to Nie Mei's place, Shen suddenly stopped and pointed to Nie Mei, "Let's go and accompany me in and change clothes." Regardless of Nie Mei's surprised eyes, she went in first.
"Red silk, you're back. How's it going? Is it fun here? Tell me if there is any good place to go." Nie Qiang was arched by Xiang'er, and Fang realized that the red silk had stood beside him and called him a few times.
In front of Nie Qiang's greasy smiling face, the red silk was originally worried and felt a little better. "What is my sister eating, and I don't wait for the red silk."
Nie Qiang said, holding the plate left by himself, "What should I do? I've eaten it all." She knows that red silk is the most clean, and she will definitely not eat anything she has touched.
Red silk smiles indifferently, "It's okay." He picked up one of the mung bean cakes and put it in his mouth for a few bites. "That's good."
Nie Qiang was full of joy, "I like red silk. It's great. You can eat this again, and this. I think taro balls are the best."
The red silk ate a mouthful of taro balls. Fang remembered the scene he saw when he first entered the door. It was not that Su Hong accidentally knocked over the teacup and made her mother wet her clothes, but that her mother wink at Su Hong first, and then Su Hong picked up the teacup and accidentally knocked it down.
Then, my mother asked Nie Mei to go in and change clothes with her. What was it for?
Don't think about it any more. Shen has changed a navy blue orchid dress and came out of it. Nie Mei followed her face low, and she couldn't see the expression on her face at all.
Shen looked at the red silk and said with a smile, "How about it? Did Master Guangliang take you around?"
Red silk sat next to Nie Qiang. Just now, she only looked at Nie Mei's expression. When she heard her mother speak to her, she recovered and said at a loss, "Yes, I went to two more courtyards."
one by one, one by one
The temple fair ceremony in the evening began. Emperor Mo came slowly with the queen, but the prince and other princes came very early. The red silk and the Shen family knelt in the crowd, saying long live the emperor like a parrot, long live the emperor, and the queen.
Shortly after the beginning of the temple fair, Emperor Mo climbed the tower of the North Courtyard, and then the prince, the second prince, the eldest prince, the seventh prince and other princes coincidentally went up to the tower.
And those princes and nobles also climbed several floors with Emperor Gao. Red silk did not want to take advantage of this bustle, but when they thought that the prince would die here today, they couldn't help but worry.
Shen and Nie Qiang sit in the west courtyard drinking tea and laughing with the official wife. It seems that something has not been dealt with in the future today.
Red silk hesitated again and again and again went up to the tower with Qiao Yue.
one by one, one by one
"Red silk?" Tang Qin's tone was a little surprised, but after a while, she regained her usual affinity and laughter.
"Long time no see, princess" Red silk has some unknown feelings in her heart, as if it is nostalgic.
"Why haven't you come to the palace to find me for so long? I look forward to you every day." Tang Qin's face was like a jade plate, and her lips were like a plum, and she said to the red silk with a sweet smile.
"Red silk was in poor health a few days ago. Hasn't the princess come to see me yet?" In one word, Hongsi felt that these words seemed to have been carefully arranged before. With her mouth, she knew what she wanted to say. There was no need to guess, just knew.
Tang Qin took her hand, stroked her as if she was distressed, and said, "I don't know. If I know, I will definitely send someone to send ten boxes and eight boxes of supplements for you to eat enough."
"The red silk is waiting. The princess is a golden word." After saying that, he naturally pulled his hand out of Tang Qin.
Most of the two were a little strange. Red silk knew it, but Tang Qin didn't know. She just thought that red silk was making a grump, and she didn't care much about it.
The two watched the fireworks for a while, and a palace man came to invite Tang Qin to the south courtyard.
Tang Qin first asked the palace people to go back to report, and then she would go later. She turned around and asked the red silk to go with her. The red silk had wanted to go to the south courtyard. How could she miss such a good opportunity now? She quickly agreed and drank Tang Qin and went to the south courtyard with a joke.
Emperor Mo and the princes came down from the tower and returned to the South Courtyard. When they came back, as soon as the emperor saw that her daughter did not come back together, she urgently asked the palace people to look for it.
As soon as the red silk arrived at the south courtyard, it began to look carefully. The south courtyard was guarded, and the three layers and three layers were guarded. Outsiders could not easily come in. As soon as they entered, Qiaoyue was detained outside. Before leaving, the red silk ordered Qiaoyue to say a few words, and then she left at ease after Qiaoyue wrote them down.
Entering the south courtyard, the first thing you can see is a small and clever water pavilion. There is a carefully decorated rockery beside the water pavilion. There are all kinds of flowers on the lake, but the most prosperous are those light blue flowers.
Sure enough, it's the same as in the dream. It's here.
Emperor Xi and the Empress are not strange to her, but she also knows that they don't like her very much. She can understand this. No one would like the previous rude and bullying Nie Hong silk, including her.
Emperor Xiao and the Empress just casually said a few words to the red silk and then ignored it. Emperor Wei wore a gold-patterned dragon armor robe and an emerald golden crown on his head. His face was shocked and looked at the red silk without anger or smile. The red silk knew that he was looking at him. Although he knew a little about the prince's going to ask Emperor Yao to marry, he still couldn't be too I confirmed whether Emperor Gao would really agree or not. Although she didn't want to marry the prince, what would she do if this was her best choice?
Rong Xianghe, the emperor, is in her early 40s, but fortunately, she is well maintained, and there are not too many wrinkles on her face. From a distance, she is just a 30-year-old woman.
After a while, Emperor Mo went to the studio on one side to test calligraphy with the princes. The Empress smiled and sent, "Have a good comparison. The princes don't let Emperor Mo."
The Empress talked to Tang Qin for a while, and then said to the red silk, "Why is the red silk still standing? Let me sit down."
After the red silk thanked, he slowly walked to the lower seat and sat down.
The maidservant came forward with a pot of tea and pushed it behind her. Tang Qin leaned on the side of the emperor and smiled sweetly and said to the queen the wonderful program she had just seen in the tower, "Mother, it's really beautiful to look down from the tower. It's a pity that you didn't have a look. Red Silk and I also saw the dragon and lion dance, right, red Silk?"
Red silk answered, "Yes, those dancers are really awesome. They look real from afar."
The Empress raised her eyebrows, "Really? It's just for ordinary people to play. With that, he patted Tang Qin's hand again. "Look at your cold hands, I don't know how to wear more clothes. Mother Cui, give the princess that robe quickly."
Hearing the order, Mother Cui, who leaned against the pillar and began to be stunned, quickly called a maidservant to get the robe.
After Tang Qin put on her robe, she only smiled at the red silk. "The mother doesn't look at what the red silk is wearing. This is too much."
The queen still had a smile on her face, and said while closing Tang Qin's clothes, "You girl, the girl with red silk has lived outside since she was a child. It's hard for you to get out of the second palace." Turning his head and looking at the red silk, "Do you think it's red silk?"
Red silk has a funny answer, "Yes." The queen always seems to like to find fault with herself today.
After a while, the ninth prince and Tang Ziran left. Tang Ziran did not look at the red silk before leaving, but left with the ninth prince Tang Xiao after saying goodbye to Emperor Ma.
Red silk still sat in the corner facing the cold words thrown by the queen for a while. Although she knew that the queen didn't like herself very much, she would not be so obvious in the past. Moreover, how could such abrupt thing be done by such a deep as the queen.
After the two brothers left, there were only Emperor Xi, the prince and the second prince left in the studio. The three of them chatted until they were not in a bad time. Even Mother Cui, who stood by the pillar, began to yawn. The red silk smiled in his heart. This maidservant was really bold enough. Not only did he look at the slut, but now he is still lazy.
It was not until Hai that the three people came out one after another. The prince came out first. The net satin coat he was originally wearing was also splashed with a few ink. When the emperor saw it, he immediately asked someone to change his coat with the prince. When the prince came back, he wore a black silk velvet coat, and his face was full of red and talked to the emperor about just now. As a result of the several people's test, the queen also smiled lovingly. While talking, Emperor Ma and the second prince came out. The two of them were also happy and thought to their hearts. Could it be that the Tang family likes to play literary and dance pens very much?
Just thinking about it, who would have thought that the queen sent a cold arrow to herself, "Isn't the red silk the first beauty in the country? It should also be full of literature and dance." The Empress said this originally because she wanted to see the joke of red silk. In her past, she must have thought that she was praising her, and she would be happy to accept herself, or add fuel to her reputation. Unexpectedly, the red silk just lowered his head and lowered his eyes and answered calmly with a little joy, "The emperor's praise, the first beauty in the Yan country is nothing more than ordinary people's jokes. If it comes to the beauty of red silk, it is not as good as the princess. If it is literary, who in this Yan Dynasty doesn't know that the queen is a talented woman who can write poetry at the age of three." After saying that, Tang Ruomu leaned slightly.
Tang Ruomu secretly gave him a better comparison with his fingers.
After saying this, the red silk didn't know that it would have such a big impact. It was not happy that the queen said cold words to herself today. She wanted to gag her mouth with these words. Unexpectedly, she got the rare approval of Emperor Yao and suddenly looked at the queen.
