Chapter 697: Meet the Queen
When Lian Fangzhou arrived, there were already many people waiting in the square in front of Kunning Palace.
There was a row of little eunuchs in sapphire blue robes standing around.
All the wives of life were all dressed up and made up, and they were incomparably gorgeous. At first glance, they could see the flowers were splendid and dazzling, and their facial features were deeply submerged.
This is the case wherever people are grouped together by similarities. It is these life women, except for one or two close relatives or some special relationship between the two families, the rest are all of the civil service system and the civil service system, and the military officer system is also It is one place, another is a relative, another is a noble, and another is a clan. There are three or five groups. At most, they say hello to each other at first, and then they go to their respective circles.
Li Fu said hello to Mrs. Tongzhi, the commander of the five military governors' mansion in advance. That Mrs. Shen was waiting for Lian Fangzhou to enter the palace at the gate of the palace.
Seeing the people who were whispering together in twos and threes, Lian Fangzhou couldn't help but smiled gratefully to Madam Shen: "If there was no Madam, I really don't know what to do! Fangzhou is so grateful!"
Mrs. Shen smiled slightly and said softly, "You'll get used to it after a few more visits! Actually, it's nothing. It's just that you don't think my old wife is boring!"
Commander Tongzhi is from Yipin, Li Fu's boss, but he is nearly fifty years old this year.
His wife is also forty-two.
Among this large group of women, they are of the same age. Except for those relatives, of course.
And Lian Fangzhou's age, in this civil and military system, is the youngest one, and some people are more than three times her age! Therefore, Mrs. Shen said this.
Lian Fangzhou listened to Bi and said with a busy laugh: "My wife said this, but I feel ashamed! It's the lady who doesn't dislike my ignorance and is willing to point out and tolerate me!"
Hearing Mrs. Shen's delight, he chuckled and said, "Mrs. Li is really an interesting person! Well, if you don't dislike my old wife, let's just be together!"
During the conversation, someone who knew each other was coming, so he brought Lian Fangzhou to meet him.
Gradually, the sun rose from the eastern sky, and the golden light penetrated the morning light and shone down.
Lian Fangzhou looked up and saw a radiance that became more and more dark.
When everyone finally arrived, the eunuch Sli flew out from the hall and made a wink to pass the word. Everyone hurriedly looked solemn and straightened their clothes and decorated with emeralds. The maids who came out gave instructions and arrangements together.
Soon, all the wives took their places, neatly arranged according to their grades, and there was no sound at all.
Afterwards, under the guidance of Eunuch Sli, they entered Kunning Palace one after another to pay homage to the Empress.
After saying a few words, after receiving the Queen's reward and gratitude, those who did not need to attend the banquet left in turn, while those who attended the banquet were led by the palace maids to the side hall of Kunning Palace to wait.
The festive season is approaching, and the empress's reward is also the occasion. The moon cakes made by the imperial kitchen in the palace are indispensable, and there are also new palace flowers.
The rest of the special rewards are only available for those with special relationships or identities.
In Kunning Palace, the floor is paved with gold bricks, and the carpet embroidered with large peony flowers is made of gold and silver threads.
The auspicious beast standing on the side of the crane and the bronze furnace do not know what incense, and the air is filled with a sweet and elegant fragrance, which is intoxicating.
On the high phoenix seat inlaid with gems and adorned with gold, the empress in full clothes and a phoenix crown sat on it, and the beautiful palace maids stood on both sides, as solemn and solemn as the Bodhisattva in the temple.
When Lian Fangzhou walked into the palace, he felt as if he had been put into a dazzling box with dazzling flowers.
He knelt down on the ground, not even daring to lift his head.
As for whether the Empress is round or flat, I don't even know.
The queen was somewhat interested in her, and when she heard the soft voice of the female officer beside her singing and reciting "Zuo Shi Lian, the commander of the Zuodu of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies," she glanced at her.
After this group of people went to worship, the queen smiled and said, "Which one is General Li Fu Li's wife? Raise your head and let this palace take a look."
Lian Fangzhou listened to the queen's dignified and virtuous voice, as if he had practiced general formulae before, but it wasn't ugly, but it made his originally tense heart secretly loosen.
She hurriedly bowed to the door of her own home, and Fang slowly raised her head.
The queen wanted to see her, but she didn't dare to look at the queen. Even though she raised her head, she didn't dare to look at the queen.
In fact, before she came, she guessed that most of the queen would want to see her, and she would also want to see if she was the queen!
Rare is precious!
Which family's official wife is not a famous lady, but comes from a prestigious family? She is an alternative! And it was a mistake to pick up a huge bargain, who do you see if you don't look at her?
Even when she was waiting outside, she didn't know how many people she had called to look at it secretly, and she felt a little numb.
The queen didn't make it difficult for her, she nodded and smiled after looking at her: "General Li has a good eye, you are very good!"
Then the female official called out, and everyone thanked them for getting up and backing away.
The following banquet proceeded and ended smoothly and smoothly as usual, with no surprises.
However, Lian Fangzhou always felt that two eyes fell on him, and he was examining himself from beginning to end, and that feeling was very bad.
She pretended not to care, then looked back suddenly, and finally caught the two lines of sight, and before the woman in the costume showed embarrassment, she withdrew her gaze without a trace.
Sitting in that position seems to be the second prince Li Wang's concubine Zhu Shi, the daughter of the Dali Temple Minister.
Lian Fangzhou doesn't need to be funny, but this princess is interesting, she is nothing to stare at and do! There are no flowers on her head!
In addition to moon cakes and newly-made palace flowers, Lian Fangzhou also received a hand of Hetian jade Ruyi, a pair of golden chalices with pearl hairpins, and two pieces of cloud brocade as gifts from the queen, and he was quite satisfied when he left the palace.
Li Fu remembered her in his heart, and waited at the palace gate for a long time, causing the guards guarding the palace gate to straighten their waists and dare not come out.
Although the Five Army Governor's Mansion had no control over the Imperial Forest Army, it was a system after all, and the guards were somewhat respectful and fearful in their hearts.
Seeing Lian Fangzhou and Mrs. Shen coming out, Li Fufang breathed a sigh of relief, turned to the side to avoid it, and first Lian Fangzhou got into the carriage.
Lian Fangzhou was not careful when he got into the car, which almost shocked him.
The two laughed for a while, and Li Fu asked with a smile, "Are you okay? Has anyone bullied you?"
Lian Fangzhou said with a smile: "Your wife is not a fool, do others bully if they want to? Besides, these people are accustomed to talking sloppily, but they can't do anything! , I only think they are jealous!"
