The majestic sister-in-law of the Red Chamber

After Situ Meng came out from the emperor, he went straight to the empress dowager's bedroom, thinking in his heart that the matter of the draft should be made clear to the empress dowager as soon as possible. At that time, you will really be double-faced, and you will be splinted!

Thinking about something in his heart, Situ Meng couldn't help but quicken his pace, especially after entering the Empress Dowager's Compassionate Peace Palace, his vigilance was not as high as before. The Empress Dowager Zhi was walking in the back garden of the Compassionate Ning Palace at the moment, so she ran towards the back garden by herself without anyone notifying her.

Unexpectedly, when he just walked out of the corridor and was about to step into the back garden, he almost bumped into a woman who turned from the side. When a step in the corridor felt wrong, he subconsciously circulated his true energy to his feet, and his body moved several meters forward at the same time, avoiding the embarrassment of being about to hit.

"Stop! Who the hell are you? How dare you run amok in the palace of the Empress Dowager! You just want to run away when you run into my lady!" A little maid suddenly yelled.

At this time, Situ Meng had time to carefully observe the person who almost bumped into him just now, but it turned out to be a person wearing a gold satin dress, a double bun, and a simple The velvet flower, a young woman with a golden step in it, looks at her developed figure and somewhat childish face, and she is probably not as old as Ji.

This attire looks simple and plain on the surface, but just because of what she is wearing, the skirt made of cloud brocade called an inch of brocade and an inch of gold, it is not simple no matter how you look at it!You must know that this brocade is an exclusive tribute of the imperial court. Except for high-grade grades in the palace or special rewards from the royal family, the folks can't buy it at all, and they are not allowed to sell it.

Moreover, looking at her attire as a boudoir girl, it is absolutely impossible to be a servant of the court lady, nor is it possible to be a married woman!Then the most likely one is the show girl who came to participate in the draft this time.

'But, didn't the Empress Dowager issue a decree that all beautiful women should not leave Chuxiu Palace?How could there be a show girl here?The Empress Dowager probably wouldn't do such a self-blame thing, you know, the Concubine Zhen is always staring at her, waiting to grab her pigtails! '

Although his heart was full of doubts, Situ Meng still didn't open his mouth to ask. He just looked indifferently at the pair of master and servant in front of him. I reminded him that at this moment, he dared not relax at all.

"What's the matter with you! Don't you know how to apologize for bumping into my lady? You really have no manners at all!"

The little maid helped her master up, and watched Situ Meng stand aside with arms folded, without saying a word, she immediately became angry, and squirted wildly at Situ Meng.

"Xiaochun, shut up! Don't be rude in front of the lord!" The lady was delicate and soft, with a soft voice that sounded a bit coquettish. Although it was scolding, there was a touch of sweetness in her ears. greasy.

Although Situ Meng didn't speak, he sneered in his heart. It seems that some people couldn't wait and couldn't bear it!As soon as I entered the palace, it seemed that I was already being targeted!

It's just that, being able to walk around in the Empress Dowager's Palace so freely, and that little girl dared to yell at herself, it seems that the identity and background of this lady is really not simple!After all, they have all turned favors to the Empress Dowager!

Thinking of this, Situ Meng narrowed his eyes immediately, and his eyes on the pair of master and servant became sharper instantly, but he began to hesitate in his heart whether he should ask his mother to ask the nanny and the maid to help Lin Tian up.

'Forget it, I don't want to bother my mother anymore, if I really need it, I'd better find Brother Huang to ask for two people! After making up his mind, Situ Meng pressed his original thoughts and turned his gaze to the pair of master and servant again.

"My lord?" The little girl was stunned for a moment when she heard what her master said, then her eyes widened in disbelief, she looked at Situ Meng, and stammered, "Miss, are you mistaken for someone! He How could such a prince be? How could the prince be dressed like this? He is worse than our young master!"

"Xiaochun! Why don't you hurry up and apologize to the lord!" The young lady glared at her maid, then squatted down at Situ Meng apologetically, gave a blessing, and said with lowered eyebrows:

"The servant bumped into me by mistake, and asked the prince to make amends! The prince must have come to find the empress dowager! The empress is resting in the gazebo in the garden at the moment. The little girl has something else to do, so she will leave first!"

After the woman finished speaking, without waiting for Situ Meng to reply, she took the little girl behind her into the corridor and walked towards the front yard without any hesitation, as if Situ Meng in front of her was like a scourge.

"Hehe... Is this playing hard to get after knowing the great achievements of the young master before? Unfortunately, the young master doesn't like this!" Situ Meng murmured, and walked directly towards the gazebo in the garden.

"Miss, did you say that the prince just now is Prince Zhongshun?" After walking a long way to the open space in the front yard, the little maid asked in a low voice, seeing that there was no one around.

"This is the Empress Dowager's Compassionate Palace! Do you think there is anyone other than this lord who can let him walk in ostentatiously without being informed by the guards at all."

At this time, the young lady had completely lost the soft and cowardly look she had before, her whole body exuded a fierce aura, her face was stern, her lips were tightly pursed, and her voice was as cold as frost in winter Snow seeps into people like snow.

"Uh... But, didn't you say that the prince is still in the south of the Yangtze River? It is estimated that when he returns to the capital, it will be at least the time for the palace selection! Why is it suddenly so early?

Moreover, looking at him as an dignified and loyal prince, how could the younger brother of the emperor's mother and compatriot wear such shabby clothes?Master, look at his attire just now, it is not as good as that of ordinary rich and powerful people!

Not to mention that the clothes on his body are just the most ordinary silk and satin texture, and even the jade pendant around his waist is not a precious thing! "Although the little girl is convinced of her master, she still has a little doubt in her heart.

"Hehe... the ordinary silk and satin you are talking about is the rarest Song brocade among the four famous brocades! Besides, haven't you seen it? His robes fluttered as he walked, and under the sunlight, there would be a faint glow. dark pattern?

That is the highest skill of Shu embroidery, and also the most difficult one - the same color show!As far as the value of the piece of clothing on his body is concerned, it is more than ten times more expensive than the piece of brocade bestowed by the empress dowager on my master's body. Moreover, it is not the best of the best that ordinary craftsmen can make. !

It is no exaggeration to say that the seemingly ordinary clothes on his body are not inferior to the emperor's ordinary clothes!Moreover, it is a low-key and restrained luxury, only those who know the goods can see the value of it!If ordinary people read it, they will think the same as you!

Therefore, his clothes are very suitable whether he is entering the palace or wandering in the streets of the capital!

As for what you said, it looks like an ordinary jade pendant without any color, although I don't know what it is, but judging by the moist texture, and the crystal clear appearance without any variegation, I can guess, Surely it can't be the common stuff you're talking about, if we don't know each other, it just shows that we are short-sighted!

This loyal prince is not easy!In my opinion, my father's plan this time may not work!hehe……"

The woman suddenly laughed twice, and said silently in a voice that only she could hear: "It's fine if you don't succeed, then it's possible for me and him! After all, if Prince Zhongshun really nodded and agreed to this Darling, that's really troublesome for me!

It seems that the news that father and the others found is indeed true. This Prince Zhongshun really hates women who deliberately approach and affectation!I have to work harder, as long as he personally refuses, then come to think of it, neither the father nor the empress dowager will blame me! "

As for this woman who had met once, Situ Meng had long forgotten her, and quickly came to the gazebo in the garden in three steps at a time, and saw his mother at the same time.

"The queen mother is always well? My son greets you!" Situ Meng said, kneeling in front of the empress dowager on one knee.

"You! You are still the same as when you were a child. You are so naughty, and you ran over without letting me know! Get up, get up!"

As the Empress Dowager said, she quickly pulled Situ Meng up from the ground, pulled him to sit down in front of her, and asked:

"When did you come back? Did you report back to the emperor first after you came back? You have been away for nearly a year, and you don't know how often you write a letter to Ai's family to report safety. Every time you only talk to your emperor." Please contact me, have you forgotten the mother of Aijia for a long time?

Really, I don’t know how to take good care of myself when I go out, look at you, you’ve lost weight again!When you turn around, Aijia will send you some supplements back home, so you should make up for it!This year is also exhausting! "

The Empress Dowager said with a bit of complaint, holding Situ Meng's hand but still refused to let go, with a smile on her face.

"How could it be? I have always missed my mother, but so many things have happened this year, and many important events related to the court have to be kept secret, so I haven't been able to contact my mother in time. Mother, don't be angry with me!

By the way, I bought a lot of Jiangnan specialties for my mother!After loading a whole truck, I let Xiao Chengzi bring people into the palace early in the morning!It may be that there are too many things, and the maids haven't been able to check and sort them all out yet!Queen Mother, you can go back and ask them and you will know!

It's just a pity, it took a lot of time to go from Jiangnan to the capital, and I couldn't bring many local delicacies in Jiangnan to my mother!However, I brought a cook from Jiangnan with me when I came back this time, and I can let him enter the palace to cook some Jiangnan specialties for my mother! "

Situ Meng said with a smile on his face: "Mother, I have never been out of the capital. Only now did I know that our Dayong Dynasty was so vast, with magnificent mountains and rivers and picturesque scenery. The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is similar to that of our capital city. They are completely different!

The bamboo there is still emerald green in winter, but the cold wind seems to blow directly into the bones through the clothes, which makes people very uncomfortable!Fortunately, the Royal Palace in the Slender West Lake has floor heating and fire walls, otherwise, I don't know how I will live this winter! "

Situ Meng sat with the empress dowager intimately, talking about all the things he had seen and heard outside, and the relationship between him and the empress dowager, which was already a bit rusty, warmed up instantly, and the two of them talked, and the sky gradually darkened When he got down, Situ Meng's stomach let out a "cuckling" sound of protest.

"Hahahaha... Xiao Shishi is hungry! What are you all doing standing here, why don't you hurry up and pass the meal! By the way, let the imperial dining room cook the prince's favorite chicken marrow bamboo shoots and steamed lamb with milk , goose oil rolls with pine flesh, tofu skin buns, bad goose palm duck letters, and rouge goose breast are all served!

Also, the old duck soup with bamboo fungus that was simmering before is also served!That's right, that's right, let the imperial dining room watch over it, and prepare some seasonal vegetables and fruits!This combination of meat and vegetables is justified! "

The empress dowager gave instructions to the maid beside her with a smile.
