Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The crimson carriage stopped outside the palace gate. The roof of the carriage and the surrounding curtains had dark patterns of auspicious clouds embroidered with gold and silver double threads. The doors and windows were decorated with blue tassels, which was very noble.

    "Young Master Cousin and Madam Cousin are here."

    The groom respectfully reminded Gu Yanting to get out of the car first, and directly took Song Wan out of the car without the help of his maid.

    The palace still stands majestically in front of everyone's eyes, and the imperial guards stand in front of the palace gate loyally. It seems that no matter what earth-shaking changes occur in the outside world, there will be no difference here.

    Song Wan had known that Marquis Yue'an had a good status in Zhaoling before, but she didn't realize how high their status was until this time. The imperial guards did not even check the tokens for Ruan and He Nanzhou to enter the palace, and directly let them enter the palace.  Afterwards, no one searched them as usual.

    After passing through the palace gates, they were taken to the imperial garden.

    As soon as we entered the garden, a strange fragrance hit our nostrils. In this fragrance, dozens of colorful butterflies were dancing in the garden, which was extremely beautiful.

    Mrs. Ruan was a little surprised, but she returned to normal in an instant and walked towards the front pavilion.

    The weather was hot, so mats were hung around the pavilion. Four palace servants stood outside the pavilion to wait on them. When they saw Ruan and He Nanzhou, the four of them immediately bowed and said, "I have seen Madam and the young Marquis."

    Mrs. Ruan nodded slightly in response, and two of them opened the mat and called inside: "The Queen Mother, Madam and the young Marquis have arrived."

    There are ice cubes placed in the pavilion to cool down, and there are various iced fruits and snacks on the table. The Queen Mother is sitting inside, and there is another woman in white sitting with her back to the outside of the pavilion.

    Although there is only a back view, it can be seen that this woman's figure is graceful and very human.

    The Queen Mother came to her and before she spoke, she had a smile on her face and said kindly: "Come in and sit down. It must be hot after walking so far, right? Eat some fruit to quench your thirst. This is the lychee that Vietnam sent as tribute this year. It tastes pretty good.  , if Zhou'er likes it, he will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send a few baskets to the Hou Mansion in a while."

    Ruan and He Nanzhou went in first, while Song Wan, Gu Yanting and Yuelan stood outside the pavilion, saluted according to the rules and said in unison: "The common people pay homage to the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother be safe and sound."

    As soon as the words were spoken, the woman in white turned to look at them.

    The woman's appearance is very beautiful. Her facial features are wider and deeper than those of ordinary Zhaoling women. Her eyes are big and bright, and her lips are red and plump. However, she does not make people feel tall and strong. She is even taller than when Song Wan first saw her.  At that time, there would be two more points of softness of Zhaoling women.

    Who else could it be if it wasn¡¯t Sassou?

    Sasu¡¯s eyes swept over the faces of Gu Yanting and Song Wan, and then looked at Yue Lan, Bai Heng, Yin Niang and Chu Yichen in turn.

    The further he looked back, the more interested Sassou's eyes became.

    She recognized them.

    Sasu can see through Yin Niang¡¯s disguise technique, but the Queen Mother cannot.

    She glanced at Song Wan and Gu Yanting casually, then looked at Ruan and asked, "Is this your eldest brother's child?"

    Ruan sat down next to the Queen Mother and said with a smile: "Yes, my father and brother didn't agree with me marrying far away. I was so angry that I didn't have much contact with my family for many years. The year before last, my father was seriously ill, and I realized how much I had missed.  Xiu Shu asked them to persuade them to go to Beijing, and they set off to Beijing after taking care of their family affairs. They are all good boys."

    After speaking, Mrs. Ruan waved to Song Wan: "Ah Wan, come here quickly and let the Queen Mother take a good look."

    Song Wan walked between the Queen Mother and Ruan.

    Getting closer, Song Wan found that the Queen Mother's complexion was indeed much better than before, the wrinkles on her face were significantly reduced, and even her eyes were much brighter, as if she had really rejuvenated her youth.

    Song Wan only glanced at her and then withdrew his gaze. He obediently bowed and said, "A commoner woman pays homage to the Queen Mother."

    The Queen Mother and the Governor's wife had the same reaction yesterday, wondering: "Why is it called this name?"

    The Queen Mother was just confused, not disdainful.

    Ruan said with a smile: "The name is just a title. It doesn't matter what you call it. A child with good character is good."

    "That's right," the Queen Mother agreed, and then said to Song Wan, "There is also an emerald bracelet in the Ai family. It was given to the Ai family by the late emperor. The color is too green. It is suitable for you to wear at your age. I will have someone take it soon."  Come give it to you.¡±

    Song Wan immediately said: "Thank you Queen Mother for the reward."

    His tone is neither humble nor arrogant. Although he doesn¡¯t look very impressive, he still understands the rules.

    The Queen Mother ignored Song Wan and raised her eyes to look at the others. She did not ask Yue Lan or Yin Niang to come forward to reply. Her eyes flickered between Gu Yanting, Chu Yichen and Bai Heng for a while, and finally said to Bai Heng: "Come here.  Let the Ai family take a look."

    Bai Heng is young, has never been to Hanjing, and has never seen Sasu. He is one of the fewp; After Sasu left, the palace people rolled up the bamboo curtains, and tables and chairs were set up outside to start serving food.

    Ruan said to He Nanzhou: "Zhou'er, please take everyone to sit down. I will stay with the Queen Mother here."

    Song Wan stood up and returned to Gu Yanting, sitting down with him outside the pavilion.

    Not long after they sat down, Zhao Qing arrived with the four princes.

    He Nanzhou was about to stand up and salute, but Zhao Qing was the first to say: "There are no outsiders today, it's just a family dinner, no need to be polite."

    The Marquis Mansion of Yue'an and the royal family have different surnames, but Zhao Qing said it was a family banquet, which showed how much he valued it. He Nanzhou didn't refuse and sat back magnanimously.

    Zhao Qing walked into the pavilion, and the palace servants had placed tables, stools and food beside him. Zhao Qing sat down, said a few words to the Queen Mother, and then looked at Gu Yanting, who was sitting next to He Nanzhou.

    After all, Zhao Qing had been sitting on the throne for so many years, and he was younger than the Queen Mother and had a much clearer mind. Although he thought Gu Yanting had an average appearance, his eyes were extremely dark and sharp, and he had a calm and unhurried demeanor that was rare.  He looked at Gu Yanting kindly and said, "I heard that you opened an inn in Muzhou and your business was doing very well. Now that you have arrived in Hanjing, are you going to continue to open an inn?"

    He Nanzhou has not shown any extraordinary talent so far. Zhao Qing is actually a little anxious. If there is a business genius in the Ruan family, it would be great to help replenish the national treasury after making money.  .

    Gu Yanting said truthfully: "I have no interest in doing business and I don't plan to do this anymore."

    Zhao Qing asked: "Then what are you going to do?"

    Gu Yanting said: "I want to try marching and fighting."

    Zhao Qing had no reaction, He Nanzhou put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "That's great!"

    Zhao Qing looked at He Nanzhou in confusion, and He Nanzhou said: "Your Majesty, I don't know that besides reading account books, my cousin also reads various military books the most. Before, in order not to worry his grandfather, he opened the  The inn is the backbone of the family, but protecting the family and the country is his real ambition, so his other purpose in coming to Beijing this time is to join the army."

    He Nanzhou was serious about what he said. Ruan didn't know about it beforehand. After a moment of surprise, he whispered in a low voice: "Zhou'er, this is the imperial court, don't mess around!"

    Marching and fighting is no joke, and life in the military camp is not as simple as they imagined. The Ruan family does not want these juniors to live a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife.

    The topic of Gu Yanting actually came up a bit unexpectedly. Being stopped by Ruan made him a little more interested. He looked at Gu Yanting again and asked, "Have you ever practiced martial arts?"

    Gu Yanting said: "It takes a little practice."

    Zhao Yi didn¡¯t mind seeing the excitement, so he immediately stood up and said, ¡°In that case, why don¡¯t I have a few moves with him to show my father.¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
