Chapter 690 Meeting(1/2)
Following the guidance of the palace people, we soon arrived at Chaohe Palace.
A banquet was held today in the garden of Chaohe Palace. The flowers were blooming in spring and the sunshine was excellent.
The Queen Mother sat in the middle position, followed by Qi Ranran.
Yu Wenxuan was the first to see the person, bowed first, and spoke frankly,
"I've met the Queen Mother, I've met the Emperor's sister-in-law."
After finishing speaking, he blinked at Qi Ranran very excitedly.
Sister-in-law, I miss you so much after not seeing you for a day~
Qi Ranran replied with her eyes.
Look at our Xuanxuan looking beautiful again~
The Queen Mother slowly twirled the agarwood bracelet in her hand, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she didn't notice her little daughter's casualness, she raised her hand meaningfully,
"Just come, no need to be restrained."
This was said not only to Yu Wenxuan, but also to Forsythia.
She called people here because she wanted to meet them, not to scare them.
Forsythia spoke up at this moment and saluted according to the etiquette and standards taught.
"For women of the people, see the Queen Mother, and see the Queen Mother."
Generally, only women who come from the royal family or princes and nobles have a high rank.
Although she was granted the title of county head by the emperor, she had no protection, and there was a difference between her status and her orthodox status.
The Queen Mother shouted and formally saw the person in front of her.
It seems that he behaves in a measured manner and advances and retreats appropriately, as if he is well-informed and sensible.
After sitting down, the Queen Mother looked at Forsythia and asked,
"I heard that your ancestral home is in Yangzhou."
Forsythia: "Yes, a folk girl grew up in Yangzhou since she was a child."
The Queen Mother continued to twist the agarwood bracelet in her hand, and seemed to inadvertently mention it to Qi Ranran beside her,
"The Ai family must remember whether Huan Yu went to Yangzhou a few days ago."
Qi Ranran understood immediately, nodded, and while remaining dignified, he also helped smooth things over.
"Exactly,
The second brother went to Yangzhou a few years ago. Didn’t he also solve a case in Yangzhou and recover a gold mine for the imperial court~
I heard that the girl even helped a lot during this period."
After saying that, his eyes naturally fell on Forsythia.
What followed was an encouraging smile.
Queen Mother: "Yes, the Ai family has remembered it. This is indeed the case."
Qi Ranran continued to work hard,
"It's more than that,
At the beginning of the year, there was a heavy snowstorm in Yangzhou, and even the girls helped.
In this regard, the emperor mentioned that even girls were contributors to disaster relief.
His decisiveness, magnanimity and magnanimity are not inferior to those of men at all."
Yu Wenxuan was shocked after hearing what they said. He looked like "What did I miss?" and turned to look at Forsythia.
“It turns out there is such a story in it!
Why haven’t you even mentioned it to me, sister?”
Yu Wenxuan really has doubts.
The Queen Mother calmed down and wanted to hear what Forsythia would answer, and then turned her eyes to Forsythia again.
Forsythia lowered her eyebrows and saluted again in the direction of Qi Ranran,
“Thanks to the Queen’s praise,
As a common people, you should do things for the imperial court.
Women of the people did not dare to be greedy for merit, they just did what they could.
Women of the country believe that others would do the same."
What he said was neither condescending nor arrogant, and made people feel comfortable hearing it.
The Queen Mother nodded with approval.
Be prudent in your work, be strict in your words, and will not enter into relationships casually. If you know how to advance and retreat, you will be sensible.
The only drawback is that it's a bit restrained.
Maybe...it was the first time they met because of their status.
Ordinary people rarely do not hinder the majesty of the Heavenly Family.
It will be better if we get along with each other more in the future.
The Queen Mother felt satisfied after meeting the person she wanted to see, and said nothing more. She heard Yu Wenxuan's mouth closing and closing as she kept talking.
The whole place was made happy by her.
The sun is gradually coming up, and it’s easy to feel tired when the sun shines on your body.
The Queen Mother stood up first and spoke to Forsythia,
"Now that we've arrived in the capital, let's take a good look.
The scenery of Beijing is different from that of Yangzhou.
If you meet someone you don't know well, let Xuanxuan take you."
Forsythia stood up and saluted, "The daughter of the people thanked the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother raised her hand and shouted, speaking,
"Xuanxuan stays."
Yu Wenxuan: "..."
This is a bit sudden.
She originally wanted to go to the emperor's sister-in-law, but the empress dowager stopped her and had no choice but to stay.
Yu Wenxuan stayed, while Forsythia left first under the leadership of the palace officials.
Before we left Chaohe Palace, someone came to deliver a message.
"My lord, please stay a while. Your Majesty, please go there."
The person coming is Caiyue.
Forsythia saluted in a friendly manner, she had an impression of the other party.
I know this is someone close to the Queen.
Caiyue took people to Changle Palace.
Hearing the footsteps, Qi Ranran immediately became energetic.
She had prepared her things early. When she saw Forsythia, before Forsythia could salute, she quickly called someone over and brought the box over.
"I made some velvet flowers for you. I wonder if you will like them."
The Qionghua blooming in Yangzhou was a great sight. She thought that Forsythia had grown up in Yangzhou and she probably liked Qionghua.
Therefore, the velvet flowers made for forsythia are in the style of viburnum.
When the forsythia is opened, it contains velvet flowers and viburnum flowers.
The flowers are lifelike, as if they were just picked from the branches.
"Daughter of the people, thank you, Queen..." Your Majesty...
Before he could say anything else, Qi Ranran had already shaken his hand eagerly.
"There's no need to be so formal. There are no outsiders at the moment, so there's no need to be too formal."
As he said that, he took Forsythia's hand and looked at it.
"And these," many of them are rouge and gouache for women, and they are the best-selling products in her store. Qi Ranran smiled, "I have never met you before, so I will arrange it for you on my own.
A little more,
I prepared this today in advance. You have fair skin, so this color is just right."
Forsythia recalled that when he was in Yangzhou, Qi Huanyu did not only hand over precious medicinal materials but also a lot of rouge gouache to her, saying that it was the palace's wish.
To be continued...
