The front of the Huafu gate was extremely lively, bustling and crowded crowds gathered on both sides of the road, it was almost impossible to get through, they were all waiting to see the empress and princess from Chang'an, the crackling sound of the ten miles of firecrackers pushed the whole atmosphere to the climax of excitement point.
In front of the door facing Yishui's splendid costumes, it seems that they put on all the clothes from the bottom of the box, and they all stand and wait like competing for beauty, with smiles on their faces, even if there are some who are unhappy, they still have to force it With a smile, everyone wants to have a good relationship with the empress, even if they can't, it's okay to disdain.
Just come here to live for a few days, not for a long time, so be patient, if you can't be provoked, you can always hide. The smile is still there. Avoid falling into the mouth, and asking for trouble in the end.
The carriage rattled to a stop, and Nanny Li helped Hua Rong down first, followed by Xiang Nianrong, and finally Hua Qin. Originally, Hua Qin, a courtier, no matter how big the official position, could not be behind the queen mother Get out of the carriage and break the rules.
But thinking about being sick, old, and the queen's father, he didn't take into account so many etiquettes.
After Huarong got off the car, the road was quiet all day long. People, big and small, no matter whether they recognized them or not, all imitated the people around them, knelt down and saluted, and muttered words.
"See the empress, the empress is blessed and safe!"
Huarong gave her a hand, "Excuse me, let's all get up."
"Thank you empress." After thanking you, I dared to get up and looked around one after another, the empress's peerless beauty.
A few seconds later, there were whispers all around.
¡ª¡ªIs she the Empress? So beautiful!
¡ª¡ªThe one next to her is a princess, so cute!
¡ª¡ªThis Hua family is really powerful. I heard that the empress was only a concubine before! Now she has become the queen empress.
¡ª¡ªWhat is so powerful? Except for this unfavored concubine who became the empress, how about the other married ones? A few days ago, I met the husband of the third lady in a brothel! Hugging from front to back is a treat!
¡ª¡ªThat's right, that's right, the men in the Hua family are not very good. I heard that there was a general, but he died in the battle. It seems that he was the empress's real brother
"Father, be careful."
Hua Qin stuck his head out of the carriage tremblingly, and Hua Rong quickly reached out to help.
Hua Qin shrank back, and quickly said, "The empress is reluctant, there is a large audience here, if people know that the old minister asked the empress to help, it would be a crime of beheading, reluctant, reluctant."
Huarong frowned, and wanted to say something, but seeing Huaqin's determination, she gave up. So he asked the guards at the side to help Hua Qin down.
"Empress, please come in."
Huaqin got out of the carriage and made a gesture of invitation to Huarong.
Huarong nodded slightly, then led Xiang Nianrong inside, Huarong entered, the Yingying Yanyan who was standing at the door also moved, one after another filed in, closed the door of the house, but couldn't stop the bustle outside, The sound of crackling firecrackers and the noise of chirping, like a festival.
After entering, Huarong didn't say much, so she went to the courtyard Huaqin refurbished for her to rest for a while and have dinner later.
The courtyard has been renovated from the inside to the outside. If you don't remember the road, you may not be able to recognize it at all. It has completely changed its appearance. It is completely different from the previous one. It is almost comparable to the palace in the palace. After walking all the way, I have also seen it. The other courtyard is probably the most luxurious one.
Zhou Feiran, Lu Yiliang, and those guards and eunuchs are not easy to live separately, but they can't live in the same courtyard as Huarong. Fortunately, Huaqin had the foresight to repair a slightly inferior one at the side, which made them fall. foot.
"Queen, this courtyard is so beautiful!" Xiang Nianrong sincerely admired, "It's different from those palaces in the palace. It's exquisite, small, but still majestic."
Huarong looked around lightly, there are rockery streams, bead curtains in the attic, everything that one expects to find, the style is fresh and elegant, but also refined, just by looking at it, those who don't know the goods may just see the word "good-looking", and those who know the goods will feel that it is extremely luxurious , although not wearing gold or silver, but everything is priceless, stacked together, people are amazed.
Hua Qin is an official, although he is not a clean official, and he has made a lot of money, but these, I am afraid that it will cost half of his life savings, but he is willing to part with it.
"The empress is resting here. This courtyard is the old man's wife thinking about the old days of the empress, so she renovated it on the basis of the original one. I hope the empress likes it." The nun next to the lady introduced with a smile on her face.
Huarong responded, "It's pretty good."
The mammy smiled, then saluted and prepared to leave, "The empress first rests first, and the old servant will call the empress and the princess again after dinner is served."
Huarong said "um", "Go down."
"yes."
Nanny saluted and retreated, walked to the gate of the courtyard, was stopped by Nanny Li again, and directly took out a brocade box and handed it to Nanny, "This is a gift from the empress."
Mammy quickly caught him and thanked him, and then left after thanking her again and again. After a few steps, she secretly opened it to take a look, a jade bracelet full of water, which surprised the nanny, she quickly received it in her arms, and rushed back with a red face.
"Ma'am, do you want to rest?" Nanny Li turned back to Huarong and asked.
Huarong rubbed her forehead, "Well, I'm tired from the carriage ride all the way. Are everything ready?"
"It's all ready." Nanny Li said, "According to the list given by the empress, everyone has prepared a gift."
"I've been back for so many years, but there are more Yingyingyanyans that I haven't seen before." Huarong joked casually.
Grandma Li smiled, "Don't worry, Madam, I brought a lot of things this time, even if there are a few more, I'm not afraid. This garden is really exquisite."
Huarong chuckled, "It's really exquisite, it's a world of difference from the previous ones, the previous yard probably couldn't even compare to the string of colored glazes in the yard."
Nanny Li stepped forward to rub Huarong's shoulders, and said with relief, "Your Majesty, you don't have to think so. This time Master Hua is able to do this because you value the relationship with your Majesty."
Huarong wanted to refute a few words, but swallowed the words when they reached her lips. If she thought that way, she might have lost all her true feelings.
"This time, I also want to get closer to my father." Hua Rong said, "Where is Nian Rong? Where did he go?"
"You should play in the yard. The princess is young, so everything is new to her." Nanny Li smiled, "The old slave has already sent someone to follow her, so nothing will happen."
"That's good." Huarong breathed a sigh of relief, "Children are energetic, but after driving the carriage all the way, they still have such energy. I'm almost exhausted."
Mother Li rubbed her shoulders and said with relief, "Your Majesty is still young, it's just that the princess has just arrived, so she's so excited, that's why she's so energetic."
"That's right, in the future, I should take her out for a walk more often."
