chapter Ten
"You gentlemen, are you having a good time today?" Facing the barely concealed surprise of everyone in the shed, the visitor didn't take it seriously at all. He bowed slightly with a smile, flicked the brush in his hand, and held it in his hand.
salute.
"Ah, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously, Eunuch Gao, please sit down." Xie Bi is a person who has always been in the officialdom. He was the first to react and hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
"There is no need to sit down." Although Gao Zhan is an old confidant who has served the emperor for more than thirty years and has been promoted to the eunuch chief of the Sixth Palace, Gao Zhan has always been unassuming in his dealings with others. Faced with these few
A child who is several rounds younger than him, he is still not rude and has a smile on his face, "You come with us quickly, the Queen Mother wants to see you."
"The Empress Dowager?" Xie Bi was startled, "She is here too?"
"No. The Queen Mother saw you children having fun at Yingfeng Tower and asked you to come up."
"All of us?"
"Yes, this gentleman, and this little brother, all come up."
Xie Bi turned around, and everyone looked at each other for a while. The Empress Dowager was the emperor's direct grandmother. She was now over ninety years old and had never been involved in political affairs, so she had a long life and a good heart. The Empress Dowager had passed away for many years, but she was still alive.
It's very nourishing. Since what she likes most is seeing a group of juniors around her, it's not surprising that she would send someone to summon them. However, she didn't expect that her old eyesight could still clearly see who was sitting below.
However, he was still in a daze, and when the Empress Dowager summoned him, the emperor did not dare to leave. The group had no choice but to straighten their clothes, follow Gao Zhan out of the brocade shed, and enter the Yingfeng Tower via the side staircase.
The Empress Dowager was not in the main building, but was sitting in the warm pavilion sheltered from the wind. As soon as she entered the pavilion door, she saw an old lady with snow-white hair leaning on a soft couch, with a wrinkled face and a kind face. In addition to
In addition to the palace maid Cai'e and the eunuch's attendants, there were four other people sitting next to her.
Mei Changsu turned his eyes slightly and confirmed the identities of these four people.
The person sitting at the head of the throne, wearing a phoenix crown and a yellow robe, must be Empress Zhenggong Yan, who has wrinkles around her eyes and lips, and only vaguely retains some of the beauty of her youth. To the right of the empress is a beautiful woman in palace attire with a high bun, about the same age.
She is over forty, but her skin is better maintained and her skin is still quite shiny. This is the Crown Prince's biological mother, Concubine Yue. The woman sitting on the left side of the Queen has a more dignified expression, and her beautiful eyebrows are somewhat familiar.
Naturally, it is the eldest princess of Liyang. The last one is a young woman. She wears simple clothes and has light makeup. Although her appearance is not beautiful, she is full of heroic spirit and has an exquisite look. No one in the room can overpower the ladies in gorgeous clothes.
Her momentum, besides Princess Nihuang, who else has such grace?
"Are you here?" The Queen Mother sat up tremblingly, smiling, "Quickly, call over here and tell me which children are they?"
Yan Yujin couldn't help but smile, and was glared at by Queen Yan.
Because of her old age, the Empress Dowager has become a little confused in recent years. Although she likes to get close to young people, she can't remember who they are. Sometimes they have just met them the first day and have to introduce them again the next day.
Gao Zhan led everyone forward, and Mei Changsu found an opportunity to coax Fei Liu in a low voice: "Can you let the old lady hold your hand later? Can you smile for the old lady?"
Fei Liu had a cold face, showing an unwilling expression.
At this time, the Empress Dowager had taken the hand of Xiao Jingrui who was closest to her. Gao Zhan hurriedly introduced from the side: "This is Xiao Jingrui, the eldest son of Ning Guohou."
"Xiao Rui, are you married?" the old man asked kindly.
"not yet……"
"Oh, hurry up!"
"yes……"
After touching Xiao Jingrui's head, she turned around and took Xie Bi's hand.
"This is Xie Bi, the second son of the Marquis of Ning State."
"Xiao Bi, are you married?"
"without……"
"Hurry up!"
"yes……"
Next, the Empress Dowager waved to Fei Liu, and Mei Changsu hurriedly pushed him over. The young man had a cold face and reluctantly let the Empress Dowager hold his hand.
"This young man's name is Fei Liu..." Gao Zhan quickly asked Xie Bi and introduced him.
"Xiao Fei, are you married?"
"No!"
"Hurry up!"
"No..." Before Fei Liu could say "no", Mei Changsu hurried over and covered his mouth. Naturally, the Empress Dowager's attention immediately shifted to him and took his hand.
, looked at it with a smile.
"This is Mr. Su Zhesu," Gao Zhan said.
"Xiao Shu," the Empress Dowager asked the same question with a somewhat unclear enunciation, "Are you married?"
"No."
"Hurry up!"
"..."
The last person to be pulled over was Yan Yujin. After Gao Zhan introduced him, the Queen Mother still asked: "Ojin, are you married?"
Yan Yujin blinked his eyes and said mischievously: "We are already married."
The Queen Mother paused for a moment and seemed to be reacting, but then she asked a new question: "Have you given birth to a baby?"
Yan Yujin was stunned and murmured: "Not yet..."
"Hurry up!"
"..."
Queen Yan stepped forward and said respectfully: "Grandmother, would you like the children to sit with you for a while?"
"Okay, okay," the Empress Dowager was very happy, beckoning and making arrangements, "sit over here, Xiao Shu sits next to Grandma, Xiao Rui and Xiao Bi are here, Xiao Jin shouldn't stand, Xiao Fei is too far away...
"
Sitting around the young people, the old man looked pleased. He ordered people to bring in plates of delicate fruit snacks and distributed them to them like children. He looked on and smiled happily.
However, although she was in a happy mood, the Empress Dowager was already old after all, and soon she became tired. Empress Yan was afraid of making a mistake, so she persuaded and deceived Princess Liyang together, and finally coaxed her to agree to return to the palace to rest. Only a few people
Considered to have been released.
Mei Changsu thought that this unusual summons would end smoothly, so he relaxed a little and walked out of the Nuan Pavilion with everyone. Unexpectedly, just as he reached the stairs, he heard a clear and sweet female voice behind him shouting: "
Mr. Su, please stay."
