Chapter 63 Twins, Xiaoxiang Qiyun
The prince is very fierce. The shadow of the dragon scales. Chapter 63. Twin Gemini. Xiaoxiang Qiyun is a bright and elegant atmosphere. The next morning, the red sun did not appear in the sky, and was replaced by the sea of clouds and breeze.
Kuishou Street is covered with gray, with three octagonal arches standing solemnly on the street. In the mansion of Xiao’s family in Huainan, the servants and maids tidy up the corners of the house. The east wing is the house where the eldest son of the mansion lives. Because Xiao Chuyang’s eldest son was a county magistrate in a remote village, the east wing naturally belonged to Xiaoting.
It was noon and the sun was noon. Although there was no sun, the morning court was about to end. Many staff members of the Prime Minister's Mansion had already gone to Xiao Chuyang's house to wait. The maid stood outside the eldest master's room with a washbasin, kicking the door lightly with her boots:
"Young Master, Young Master! Get up. When the master comes back, he sees that you have not yet gotten up. He will definitely send you to the palace to visit the Empress Dowager..."
"Well... the sun hasn't come out yet..."
A lazy voice sounded from the room. After a little while, the door opened. Xiao Ting, wearing a white nightgown, had his hair and chicken coop, walked out, sleepy eyes, and was still holding a fan in his hand.
Xiao Ting has been having a happy and happy night in the past few days. A few days ago, he took the silver from the empress dowager to buy rouge and made the right choice between Mei Qusheng and Xu Buling. He made a fortune. As for buying rouge? Alas, my aunt at most hung him up and beat him up. This is not the first time.
After Xiao Ting slowly washed up, he spread his hands while walking. The maid was skillfully wearing clothes behind and advised: "Young master, it may rain today, so I won't go out, right?"
"What's wrong with it raining? I'm taking a car, and the rain can't get wet on me. Tonight, a new plate was opened for Longyin Pavilion, betting who will become Xuanhe Bakui's first beauty first. Isn't this a waste of money? Except for Fairy Ning, there is no one else..."
"But young master, you spent all the money to win the silver last time, and the Queen Mother's rouge has not bought it yet..."
"This is simple. If you go to the palace and talk to Qiao'e, you will say that the price of rouge has increased, and you will need some more..."
"Ah? The Queen Mother knows what to do?"
"What are you afraid of? My aunt doesn't..."
Xiao Ting was talking when he suddenly saw a woman in black walking in outside the gate. Her iconic gourd-like figure, her eyes were like apricots, her red lips were like vermilion paint, and her clothes were simple and elegant. The nobility and arrogance in her bones were invisibly afraid to look directly at her.
"Mom~"
Xiao Ting was clever and hid behind the pillar in a flash, covering his face with a fan. The maid was also startled and hurriedly bowed and bowed:
"See the Queen Mother."
The woman frowned and walked to the pillar, tilted her head to look at the trembling Xiao Ting: "Tinger? Why are you hiding here? Isn't you happy to see your aunt?"
Xiao Ting's face turned pale, and he looked like 'My life is over': "Aunt, I've bought the rouge, I'll go back and get it for you..."
The woman folded her hands around her waist, looked at her carefully, and sighed softly:
"I am your aunt, not Xiang'er."
“…”
Xiao Ting's expression froze. He turned his head and looked carefully. He realized that the bun was an unmarried style, and the flower hairpin on his head was not something the Queen Mother's aunt liked, and his temperament was slightly different.
"Ah~ Aunt, why are you here? Are you in Huainan?"
Xiao Qi smiled plainly: "I informed me that I was coming before the New Year. The mansion also sent someone out of the city to greet me. Don't you know?"
"Is there?"
Xiao Ting, who had just gotten up, looked at the maid she trusted the most.
The maid blinked, looking like "You don't listen after talking to the young master eight hundred times."
Xiao Qi stood in the corridor in a long black dress. She hadn't seen her nephew for a long time. She was in a good mood and didn't look into it in depth. She just looked up and down:
"Prepare to go out?"
Seeing that the person coming was not the mad Queen Mother, Xiao Ting felt much more relaxed, tidied up his clothes, looked gentle and elegant, and chuckled:
"I plan to go to the Imperial College. Yesterday, Master Song taught the "Study Records" in "The Book of Rites" and asked me to study it myself at home and take the exam at noon today."
"oh."
Xiao Qi nodded and smiled and said, "The learning of memorizing questions is not enough to be a teacher, so I must listen to the words! What is the next sentence?"
Xiao Ting laughed, raised his hand, looking like he was preparing to show what he learned, blinked: Weimei
"...Auntie is exhausted, you should be tired, Ting'er will take you down to rest?"
Xiao Qi smiled and turned around and left the corridor: "Copy "Study Records" a hundred times and send it to the study room within three days, otherwise you will be suspended for one month."
Xiao Ting's face was stiff, his smile slowly turned into a twist, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Aunt, Imperial College has only copied it ten times, so it's not bad that you can start the price..."
"If you can't finish copying, go back to Huainan with me. It seems that life in the capital is too lazy. You have forgotten your surname Xiao."
"Aunt, don't...I know how to recite it. People are good at nature, hey..."
Xiao Ting chased after him for a few steps, suddenly staggered and softened to the ground.
The maid said nervously skillfully: "Young Master, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, it's just a split headache, cough cough cough."
Xiao Ting looked like he was in his life and fell softly to the ground. Unfortunately, his aunt had long disappeared in the corridor...
In Changle Palace, the breeze swept through hundreds of flower pots. Although it was not yet the season for chrysanthemums to bloom, the greenery in the garden was already refreshing. Between the pavilions and towers, the Changle Palace, which has always been calm, is undergoing a major cleaning.
The Empress Dowager wore a fiery red phoenix skirt and sat beside the fence on the edge of the corridor. Her sitting posture was a bit indecent compared to her identity, but it was not surprising that the palace maid was used to the empress dowager's appearance in private.
At this time, dozens of palace maids were walking through it, neatly arranged the empress dowager's furnishings, and moved the cauldron in the garden, and even the small wooden signs that were originally hung on the window to record the weather.
The Queen Mother's eyes were obviously displeased, but she could do nothing. Her sister has always been rules since she was a child. If she went to the palace to visit her, she found that she had messed up the Queen Mother's bedroom and had to talk nonsense until she had finished rectifying it...
Qiao'e sat next to the empress dowager, pinching her shoulders seriously. Seeing that the empress dowager was unhappy, she said softly:
"The Queen Mother, the eldest lady will not enter the palace every day. When the eldest lady leaves in autumn, they will be safe."
Qiao'e grew up with the Queen Mother. When she was a child, the Queen Mother was willful and naughty and was often dealt with by the eldest lady. She was actually afraid at this time.
The Empress Dowager snorted lightly, threw her messy thoughts aside, took out a small mahogany sign from her arms, and rubbed her jade fingers on the 'Zhengzheng' several times:
"If you don't stay in Huainan well, why did you go to Chang'an to do something? Why didn't Xiao Xiang marry her? She just lacks a husband to discipline her..."
Qiao'e smiled with her lips and knew that she was angry, so she naturally didn't answer. She looked up at the small wooden sign in the empress dowager's hand. Qiao'e's thoughts were slightly moved, but she guessed that the empress dowager was thinking when she was living in the summer resort. Every time the empress dowager was bored, she would take out the small mahogany sign to look at it, and then she would go up the mountain. After she came back, she would have more words on the word "其" and she would feel a little bit more.
Although I didn't understand the purpose, Qiao'e also understood the rules a few times, so she said softly: "The Empress Dowager wants to go to Furong Temple to burn incense again? Furong Temple is far away, so it's not easy to go..."
The queen mother pursed her lips and looked at the small mahogany sign in her hand. For some reason, she felt a little panicked and upset, and she kept thinking about something that she shouldn't have recalled.
"Well... I'm a little bored... Xu Buling seems to have not been to the palace for a long time. I heard that he has become 'Zhao Hong Yimei'. If you ask him to come to the palace in the next post, I have something to ask him..."
Qiao'e was stunned and blinked: "Empress Dowager, you met Prince Xu yesterday..."
“…”
The empress dowager's eyes were stunned, and she remembered what she had kissed Xu Buling Ye yesterday, but... But why did she feel more bored than not seeing each other? It seemed that she was missing something, but she couldn't say anything...
"Well... I'm upset recently and I've always forgotten things, so let's go another day..."
"oh……"
Qiao'e hesitated for a while and suddenly had an idea: "Does the Queen Mother want to go out of the palace to go for a walk? I heard that Qujiangchi is preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival, and the performers and jugglers are all there, so it's so lively."
The Queen Mother sighed: "It is natural for me to go on the Dragon Boat Festival. How can I go now? It's a big mobilization."
Qiao'e shook her head, leaned into the empress dowager's ear, and whispered a few words.
After hearing this, the empress dowager suddenly lit up and her eyes showed a little excitement: "I have been in the palace for ten years and I have forgotten this. Fortunately, you are smart, let's go..."
"The young lady hasn't entered the palace yet. Do I want me to send a post to the mansion?"
"Go quickly..."
