Golden branches and jade leaves

Chapter 144 The Flower Blooms on the Outer Street (Part [-])

Blossoms on the Moshang ([-])

I straightened the bronze mirror, and then carefully looked at my face in the mirror.

"Miss!" Roujuan, the close maid, came in with a water basin, saw my movements, and shouted in a fuss.

"What are you calling?" I rolled her eyes, "Isn't it just looking in a mirror? There's such a fuss."

"It's not uncommon for other daughters to look in the mirror, but it's rare for you to look in the mirror." Rou Juan laughed.

I had no choice but to give her a blank look, because I usually spoiled this girl, but if I looked in the mirror, I would also hurt me a few words.

In fact, I really rarely look in the mirror so carefully, at least compared to girls of the same age, surprisingly few.Although from other people's compliments, I also know that my appearance is good, and my father is handsome and handsome, and my mother is soft and elegant, so I know that my appearance will not be bad when I think about it.

I just don't like to play with those hairpin rings, and I don't like to compare hair styles and outfits in front of the mirror all day long like those noble ladies.

I like swinging on a swing under the sunshine in spring, feeling the briskness of the fragrance of flowers drifting through my nose with the wind all over the sky, and I also like holding a book in my hand in the winter snow season, sitting by the fireplace, feeling the quietness of winter and cozy.

But today, I started scrutinizing my features with unprecedented precision.Because, next month, I will enter the palace.

This time, the palace where the Empress Dowager lives needs to be supplemented with female officials serving documents, so eight young girls were carefully selected from among the rich and noble families in Daqi.It is a great honor for every girl who is chosen.

Everyone knows that the Empress Dowager is a peerless beauty. When I stand by her side, even if I can't be a green leaf, I definitely can't be a dogtail grass that spoils the scenery.

Moreover, it is said that entering the palace this time has a deeper meaning.

Although the decree is not clearly stated, everyone knows that the emperor is about to turn 15 years old, and he will soon be in power and get married.

So this time the female officer is not just a female officer.It can also be regarded as the pre-selection for the queen mother to check the ladies of various families in advance, observe their speech and behavior, and choose their conduct and appearance.

In other words, among us selected women, there is a high possibility that one will be the future Empress Daqi.

The light cart was driving on the palace road, the wheels rolled over the carved jade bricks on the ground, the carriage trembled slightly, which caused my heart to fluctuate accordingly.

Secretly lifted a corner of the car curtain, he was already on the palace road outside the Shunzhen Gate, turned a corner, and the Panlong Gate was in front of him.

I was in the fourth carriage, looking at the carriages of the companions in front and behind, I vaguely guessed their identities and appearances, and my heart became more and more uncertain.

Putting down the curtain of the car, sat back in the car, took a long breath, thinking that I was about to meet the most honorable woman in the whole world, my heart felt nervous.

What kind of person is she?I heard that she has a face that is unparalleled in the world, what kind of beauty is that?And him, His Majesty the legendary emperor who has not yet been in power.

Although two years ago, the queen mother had already let him enter the yamen of various ministries and departments to practice and study.But for those of us official ladies who have been in the boudoir for a long time, whether it is the emperor or the queen mother, they are too far away and ethereal.

……

Just when I was lost in thought, the carriage bumped and then stopped.

Arrived!

I tried my best to calm my mind, waited for the inner warden next to the car to lift the curtain, and then walked out with a bow.

The weather outside is just right, there is not even a trace of cloud visible on the blue sky, the sun is bright and warm, and the morning breeze is blowing, which makes people feel refreshed, and it is a good time for autumn.

In front of you is the majestic Panlong Gate. On the vermilion palace gate, the carvings of brass auspicious beasts are shining with golden light.Against the backdrop of the continuous palace walls on both sides, it looks soaring into the sky.Beyond the palace wall, you can faintly see the flying eaves and bucket arches inside, which are magnificent, and the vermilion glazed tiles shimmer with golden light under the sun, which clearly shows the wealth and luxury of the Tianjia.

I looked around, and the girls I had chosen together this time had all come out of the carriage.

Perhaps it was because they knew that the Empress Dowager had a pure and simple disposition, not extravagant. The appearances of several people were all plain and elegant, but they couldn't hide their bright and fresh temperament.

I can vaguely recognize some of the faces. When my mother took me around to visit relatives and friends, I saw a few of them.

Among them, the woman on the left is the one I am most familiar with. She is charming, with a white jade-like nose, slightly upturned cherry red lips, and an autumn-colored satin dress with cloud patterns that is cut and slender. On her head was a peach-shaped jasper hairpin, with two long and short pearl tassels hanging from the head of the hairpin, adding a bit of magnificence to the plain appearance.She is Liu Xue'e, the granddaughter of Ronglu Doctor Liu Quan and Master Liu, who is the same age as me.

Seeing me looking at her, she turned her head and smiled at me.I also smiled at her, and the tension in my heart eased a little.

Afterwards, the inner eunuch led us into the palace gate and into the Qianqing Palace.

The crocodile curtains in the hall are inlaid with round and bright pearls and jade, exuding radiant brilliance, and the light and shadow around the ground are as blurred as smoke. A gust of wind blows, the curtains move lightly, the pearls and jade collide, and the hall is full of crisp Pleasant sound.

We walked in a piece of pearly jade, and we didn't even dare to take a breath. The shadow reflected on the ground of white jade carved bricks seemed clearer and moving than the reflection in the water.

After walking through the heavy curtains, we saw her sitting behind the desk.

After hearing her story, I had fantasized about her beauty, but when I actually saw her, I suddenly realized that such beauty cannot be imagined at all.

She was leaning slightly on the desk to check a volume of documents. Her smooth black hair was tied into a simple wishful bun and pinned with a jade hairpin. A few strands of hair were lazily scattered on her forehead, hiding her bright eyes. Qinghui.

She was only dressed in plain clothes, but people's eyes sparkled with all kinds of splendor.

Hearing the inner eunuch's announcement, she raised her head, smiled and asked, "This is it." From a long distance, I vaguely saw a slight tiredness in her watery clear eyes. , as if clouds and mist are lingering on the clear water pool, maybe today's political affairs are too hard?
Then she slowly stood up from behind the desk, and she was already in a glamorous style within this station.

She should be in her thirties, but why does she look fresh and moving as if she is in her twenties? Could it be that the years can't bear to leave traces on that peerless face?

I couldn't help but marvel, no wonder Emperor Cheng loved her so much that it never faded.If it is such a woman, I can't help being moved as a daughter, let alone a man?

I knelt down on the ground together with the figures of the crowd, and I only saw her cloud-like skirt walking towards us in my low-lying eyes.

"There's no need to be too polite, let's be flat." Her voice was as clear as pearls and jade, with a trace of tiredness, but it also had a special charm.

We bowed our heads in thanks, then got up flat.

She had already walked up to us, no one dared to stare at her face, we lowered our heads nervously.

I saw her slender and slender figure passing in front of us, then stopped in front of Xue'e, and asked in a soft voice: "Are you Liu Quan's granddaughter?" There was a faint nostalgia in her tone.

A look of surprise appeared on Xue'e's face, and she hurriedly bowed and said: "Family ancestor Liu Quan, Empress Dowager Meng has missed it."

"Yes." The Queen Mother responded lightly.

I know that Master Liu Quan's daughter, Xue'e's little aunt, is Emperor Jing's biological mother. Back then, she was conferred favor and title at about the same time as the Empress Dowager. It is said that the two had a close relationship, and when the heavenly rule was in chaos, it was still Master Liu. Hiding the Queen Mother secretly, saved the Queen Mother's life.

It's no wonder that the Queen Mother was the first person to ask about it at this time.

I have been calling and shouting for so long, I almost went crazy waiting, finally the second volume is printed, and it is estimated that it will be on the market in a few days ^_^ I am so guilty that everyone has waited so long, I bow and apologize to everyone... …
