The family of four set off for the capital before dawn.

Because it's the first time entering the palace, not to mention Xia Qiyue, An Zichen is very nervous, and there are many things to pay attention to when taking two children with him. The family of four can just go back to the house in the capital and change their clothes. .

Xia Qiyue changed the two children into festive yet dignified attire, and she also dressed herself up carefully, while An Zichen had clothes corresponding to his position, so there was no need to change.

At noon, they had to line up at the gate of the palace to enter the palace. The four of them had a quick meal at home and left the door. They were afraid that they would not be able to eat in time after entering the palace and they would be hungry.

And with so many rules, it might be difficult to get enough to eat.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, they found that men and women entered the palace through different doors. Xia Qiyue took Ke'er to the queue of the wives and ladies.

The gifts that were originally brought were also brought in by the servants, but they said that when they arrived at the Empress Dowager's Palace of Compassion and Peace, the servants they brought would wait outside.

Xia Qiyue and Ke'er arrived after suffering from the cold wind for a while, and the maid in charge of the palace checked them before letting them in.

The mother and daughter looked left and right to appreciate the scenery at the entrance of the palace, and then were escorted by the eunuchs in the palace to the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

"Mother, it turns out that the imperial palace is such a beautiful place. Ke'er likes it so much..." Ke'er sat next to Xia Qiyue, and still sighed at the majestic beauty of the imperial palace.

"Hey, you have to talk less for a while, look at your mother's eyes and act, don't do anything wrong and cause trouble, you know?" Although Xia Qiyue is also admiring the palace, she still focuses most of her energy on not making mistakes , I was afraid that Ke'er would be punished if she didn't say a word right and made a mistake.

"Got it mother!" Ke'er nodded solemnly, keeping her mother's words firmly in her heart.

When they arrived at the Compassionate Ning Palace, An Zichen's grade was the fifth grade, the lowest grade existence in the field, so Xia Qiyue's mother and daughter were at the back. people.

It was the same way at the beginning, everyone was too busy making acquaintances in front of the Empress Dowager and the Empress and other concubines, no one could notice them.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, the mother and daughter even ate a few pieces of exquisite pastries in the palace.

Ke'er didn't want to eat any more after eating two yuan. She held her mouth and shook her head, whispering in Xia Qiyue's ear that it wasn't as delicious as her cooking.

Xia Qiyue knew that she was talking about cream cakes, but she didn't think so. The palace pastries in front of her were exquisite and delicious.

But when it came time to give gifts, the mother and daughter could no longer squint.

Following the men's grades in front of them to give gifts, Shi Shu and the two little maids from the mansion were also let in, and found Xia Qiyue's side.

She watched carefully, and was relieved to see that everyone was only giving gifts to the queen mother and queen. She prepared only these two gifts, and they spent money to ask the father-in-law who gave the post.

I thought in my heart, if this father-in-law is lying, then I can find a way to get some out of the space when the time comes.

In front are the family members of the fifth-rank civil servants who are giving gifts. The men are of low grade, so of course they should not be too conspicuous. If you give too expensive gifts, you are afraid of offending the wives above, so the gifts are quite standard. The gifts from the empress dowager are all handmade Embroidered embroidery.

There is an unwritten rule in the court, as long as the rank is the same, the civil servants must come first, so Xia Qiyue is the last person to give gifts tonight, she took a breath, led Ke'er, and walked forward gracefully , Then he took his daughter to kneel down, kowtowed, and said New Year's greetings.

After all, those are the words, the key is the gift.

But the Empress Dowager and the Empress have been receiving presents all afternoon, and they are tired of aesthetics, and their expressions are indifferent.

In addition, the grade of the family is average, and the background is also low. Knowing that they can't give away any good things, it's just a matter of meaning.

But the Queen Mother still did not neglect Xia Qiyue. Firstly, her man had just made meritorious service and was a celebrity beside the emperor. Secondly, she knew that this was the extraordinary woman Yun Che was talking about. With the skin care products she made, it became white, tender and moisturized, so she was a little more patient with the fair-skinned and beautiful person in front of her.

He personally asked her to stand up, and asked her to look up at her face, admitting in her heart that her face was indeed more hydrated than hers.

Thinking about whether she has other more powerful skin care products on her body, she has been thinking about it for a while and looking for a chance to make a routine.

Xia Qiyue got up, and was watched by the queen mother for a while under the eyes of many ladies and ladies, and then smiled and took the gift from the maid behind her.

What she is going to give today is a mirror, a half-length mirror that can be placed on the dressing table, and the back of the mirror is inlaid with colored beads of different sizes, shining with colored light.

She wiped the mirror even more brightly, without any dirt at all, allowing people to clearly see their truest self, not blurred and yellowed like a bronze mirror.

The queen mother and queen's gifts are the same, exactly the same, she is too lazy to think about other gifts.

After she took away the rather large half-length mirror from the maid, she first handed it to the aunt next to the queen mother, and then to the maid next to the queen, and then said, "I got it by chance, saying it was a glazed mirror, I hope Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager can like it."

As soon as the queen mother heard that it was a mirror, she lost interest, but she still let the maid beside her take it out of face.

When everyone heard this, the lady who had just been promoted to a fifth-rank general actually only gave the queen mother and the queen a mirror, and when they looked the same, their expressions were a little secretive.

When the servant girl lifted the red cloth on it and showed the half-length mirror to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother shook her body and almost doubted whether she had a twin sister.

What everyone saw was the colorful beads inlaid behind the mirror body, and their eyes were squinted by the glittering colorful beads.

At the same time, there is an idea that this thing is not a thing in the pool.

"You said... this is called Liuli mirror?" The queen mother was indeed the queen mother, and she stabilized her mind for a moment.

She has seen too much of this big storm, she will not be shocked by such a little thing for too long.

Xia Qiyue replied respectfully, "Return to the Empress Dowager's words, yes!"

At this time, the queen's side was already being held by the maid, and she was taking pictures.

"Mother, this glazed mirror is really good, it's much clearer than the bronze mirror!"

The queen mother just nodded slightly, and didn't say anything to the queen. It had long been rumored that the queen mother and the queen were at odds, and because of the relationship between Concubine Shu and the third prince, the two had long been opposites, so everyone looked at it with disapproval.

Now that the queen has won, concubine Shu and the third prince have been trampled into the mud, it's no wonder that the queen mother can give the queen a good face.

The queen retracted her gaze embarrassingly, and the next second the queen mother's voice sounded:

"The gift from the wife of the Great General Dingyuan is very much in line with Ai's family, thank you!"
