This time I can only bring one maid with me to the palace. It seems that I can only wait outside the palace gate, but the one I can bring with me is naturally the most considerate.

Xining decided to take Qiuye with him. With the lesson learned from the last time, Dongmei didn't show any displeasure.

When the time came, Grandma Li came to invite me. Xining took Qiuye to the front hall, where all the people who wanted to go were already waiting there. The men sat with General Zhao, while the female family members followed Mrs. Zhao on one side.

Talk and laugh.

Mrs. Zhao, wearing a heavy flower crown and a red flower gown, was sitting on a warm couch on one side. When she saw her, she asked her to sit next to her.

The imperial edict is simple. For important events, there are coats of fur; concubines and crown princes are appointed to the court and wear zhai; when paying homage to the emperor and the chariot, they wear red clothes; when meeting guests at banquets, they wear mother-of-pearl ceremonial clothes, which are ordinary clothes on weekdays.

Today is a day for the palace to have fun with the people, and it is also the Queen's decree, so you only need to wear ordinary clothes. The clothes of the young masters are fine as long as they are not over-the-top. The emphasis is on the noble ladies who have not left the palace.

I looked at my daughter's goose-egg yolk dress. She wore a double-wound bun with small silk flowers on the left and right buns. The dots looked playful and her pale face became a lot more lively. Underage girls can wear double-wound buns.

But she usually does her makeup at home. As a noble girl, it would be a bit petty to comb her hair like this without wearing anything gold or silver. But with a valuable finger-length finely carved tortoiseshell comb inserted on the side, it immediately makes a difference.

There is no gold or silver on the neck and chest, only a warm mutton-fat jade pendant, engraved with pine and crane.

Mrs. Zhao held up her hand, which was not cold. There was a chicken blood red bracelet on her wrist, which kept her body from being too plain.

Looking sideways, he saw Qiu Ye next to him, with a gray fox cloak hanging on his arm. He couldn't help but smile and nodded. He said with a smile, "The old lady is old and in poor health. Your second aunt has to take care of your second uncle, so they don't

Gone."

She is not in good health and needs to be taken care of. The old lady is always afraid that her second daughter-in-law will cuckold her second daughter, so she guards against it. It is said that she will be beaten hard every now and then, causing the second wife Chen to dress like a widow.

The courtyard was as lifeless as a cold palace.

After getting up and entering the palace, Mrs. Shizi came forward to help. Xining was about to help Mrs. Zhao on the other side, but Mrs. Zhao refused.

"I'm not even 70 or 80 years old yet, you just have to deal with each other." Mrs. Zhao was in a pretty good mood.

Two carriages were prepared, and Mrs. Zhao asked Xining to ride with her, while Mrs. Shizi took one alone. The men all rode horses, and the maids and servants walked beside the carriages, and the group headed towards the palace.

Grandma Li was older and sat in the car. The car was spacious and not crowded.

Mrs. Zhao took Xi Ning's hand and couldn't help but tell her not to be afraid when meeting nobles in the palace, but to be polite but respectful. Although men and women were sitting separately this time, they would inevitably bump into each other when walking in the palace.

When the opportunity comes, don’t leave the palace leader who leads the way.

Aunt Li sat in the front seat near the door of the car. "Madam, don't scare the young lady. Don't worry, if you don't look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, who in the Zhenguo General's house would dare to bully you?"

"Yes!" Mrs. Zhao felt relieved now, opened the curtains and looked outside.

General Zhao's eldest son and third son were riding tall horses. Each of them was tall and majestic. Although Zhao Heming was still young, he was as tall as an ordinary adult. He had practiced martial arts all year round and looked somewhat imposing.

Pedestrians on the road looked at him sideways. With this posture, even if he didn't know he was from the Zhenguo General's Mansion, he would still be wary before making trouble.

Seeing General Zhao looking over, Mrs. Zhao seemed to be aware of the pride in her heart. Her cheeks turned slightly red and she lowered the curtain.

Xining looked at it carefully and became amused, "I heard that when my grandfather arranged to get married, my mother was not happy. Is this the case?"

"Isn't that right?" Grandma Li was not afraid of exposing her eldest daughter's background, and laughed happily, "Madam was the youngest lady in the house at that time, and she said that the four young ladies in front of her all married well, but when she got married, she didn't

A civil servant of seventh rank or above is a Jinshi, but she was asked to marry a charcoal ninth-rank lieutenant, and she was still a concubine. But it didn’t happen that she was now the best-married among the five sisters, and she became the wife of a hereditary general.

Already."

"He also said," Mrs. Zhao rolled her eyes at Grandma Li, but couldn't help but laugh, "We were still young and ignorant at that time."

A fourth-rank eunuch was obviously quite capable of marrying off all his daughters to young talents. If he hadn't been so vicious at the time, by the time General Zhao had ascended the title, he would have been too popular to marry.

You must know that many people later even thought of taking their legitimate daughters as concubines, but they were rejected by General Zhao. There was even a county king who wanted the county owner to marry into the general's palace as a common wife, so he went to the official's house to ask for the decision.

At that time, General Zhao resisted his orders to the death, so he gave up.

But in the end, the ship capsized with Aunt Xu. Even though General Zhao was deliberately cold and often avoided, and he gave birth to two concubines one after another, it was obvious that Aunt Xu was not an ordinary person.

Xining smiled and said, "It seems that my future marriage will have to be passed over by my grandfather."

Mrs. Zhao's eyes lit up, and Grandma Li was very happy, "Young lady is really a big kid, isn't she? The marriages that Mrs. Zhang arranged for the five sisters were not good at all. The husband and wife respected each other like guests and the whole house was filled with descendants. This time, Miss.

You can follow the second young lady of Zhongshu Lingma's family more. She is the young lady's aunt and granddaughter. In terms of seniority, she should be called your cousin."

Mrs. Zhao is the youngest daughter. There is a fifteen-year age difference between her and her eldest sister, and the owner is the youngest daughter. How do you put this generational relationship?

Most of Zhang Taishou's relatives are outside the capital. He originally thought that General Zhao could stay with Mrs. Zhao, but seeing that General Zhao was not a good thing, he wrote a letter of recommendation to the official. His aunt's daughter

When she grew up, it was Mrs. Zhao who introduced her to him, and she married Ma Zhongshu, who was just entering his official career.

Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but sigh, "At a glance, my eldest sister's granddaughter is already so big."

Grandma Li smiled so hard that she could hardly see her eyes. "Well, among the grandchildren, only Miss Ma is unmarried. The eldest lady is already waiting for the marriage of Zhang Luoxuan's grandson. But Master Sun is already thirteen.

In a few years, Madam will be able to hold her great-great-grandson in her arms, and she may even be younger than the eldest lady when she held her great-great-grandson."

This made Mrs. Zhao feel relieved and looked at her little daughter who had just grown up with a smile. Thinking about the plans of the Duke of Rongguo for her daughter, she was afraid. This time is just an opportunity. Take a closer look. Someone will come to your door in the future.

When proposing a marriage, you know which family will not accept it, but you can't make any mistakes.

Unfortunately, later on, the great-great-grandson was exterminated in his belly. Xi Ning sighed slightly. He wanted to see clearly what caused the Zhenguo General Mansion to be exterminated.

The closer we got to the palace, the more people there were. Everyone in the court who received the message went to the palace. But when they saw the Zhenguo General's Mansion, many civil servants even stepped out of the way to let them go first.

Although the imperial court emphasizes civility, the generals who have guarded the border for generations are highly respected. If you have any complaints, you can go to the border to guard the border for a few years and fight against the Huns and Tatars a few times.

When General Zhao evades someone, he will not rely on his status, but will bow to express his gratitude when passing by.
