Chapter 203
Yin Zijin's soft voice passed by her ears, as if she was reciting the standard answer: "To the Queen, my mother and the maids often tell me that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. Over the years, I have only read "Female Commandments" and "Female Rules"...
When I was very young, the nanny warned me to abide by the code of conduct for women, serve my husband well, and serve my parents-in-law well. ”
Mrs. Du was a typical lady from a wealthy family. After hearing what Yin Zijin said, she immediately laughed happily: "Zijin is really lovely. No wonder Xuan'er likes you so much. If Xuan'er lived a monk-like life eight years ago, then he lived an ascetic life eight years later.
Zijin, please don't let Xuan'er down! How has Xuan'er been over the years? I still see it. ”
Yin Zijin quickly bowed and said, "Yes, I will write it down."
The Queen's attitude at this time was not like that towards an ordinary visitor. Instead, it was more like a mother-in-law meeting her daughter-in-law for the first time, asking endless questions. She leaned forward slightly and asked again with a smile: "How is your sewing?"
Upon hearing this, Yin Zijin hurriedly took out the exquisite handkerchief from her waist, and respectfully presented it to the queen with both hands, responding softly, "To answer your question, the handkerchiefs I usually use were all embroidered by me."
The queen gently reached out to take the embroidered handkerchief, looked at it carefully, and a look of satisfaction gradually appeared on her face. She nodded repeatedly in approval and said, "Well, it's really good! It's embroidered on both sides. Look at this pair of mandarin ducks, they are so lifelike and vivid! Zijin, come, let me see your pair of three-inch golden lotus." After that, the queen looked at Yin Zijin's feet with interest.
Yin Zijin's snow-white face was slightly flushed, as beautiful as a peach blossom blooming in spring. He gently raised his delicate hand, which was as slender as a catkin, and carefully lifted up his skirt, with his movements being graceful and light.
As the hem of the skirt slowly rose, a pair of small and exquisite three-inch golden lotus feet wrapped in delicate embroidered shoes gradually appeared before everyone's eyes. The golden lotus was wrapped with a thin golden chain, shining with dazzling light, as if the bright stars in the night sky had fallen on it.
The queen took a closer look and couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise in her eyes. She marveled at the smallness and delicacy of the feet, and the touch of elegance added by the thin gold chain. The queen immediately praised, “This small foot looks just about three inches long, and it is locked with such an exquisite thin gold chain.
From this we can see that the Yin family is indeed extremely strict in the education of their daughters! No wonder they could cultivate a lady like Zijin who has good manners and elegant temperament. ”
The more the queen looked at her, the more she liked her, and her heart was full of approval and expectations for this future daughter-in-law. With a smile on her face, she said kindly, "Okay, child, don't stand there anymore, take a seat quickly." After that, she ordered the palace maid beside her to quickly give Yin Zijin a seat.
Yin Zijin sat on a chair nearby and talked with the queen. After a while, the palace maids served exquisite tea, fruits and snacks.
The queen was sitting on the phoenix throne, her posture was dignified and majestic. She was wearing a gorgeous bright yellow satin double-breasted gown embroidered with colorful phoenix, peony and cloud patterns. The color of the dress was bright and eye-catching, as dazzling as a rising sun.
The queen's hair was combed up high, and was decorated with pearl and jade hairpins, sparkling with charming light. The most eye-catching thing is that she wears a golden phoenix headdress on her forehead with its wings spread out as if it is about to fly. The phoenix is lifelike, with its wings trembling slightly, as if it can soar into the sky at any time.
Looking at the queen's face again, it is a typical round square face with soft and smooth lines. Her skin is as white as snow, and as warm and delicate as mutton-fat white jade. Her eyebrows are curved like a crescent moon hanging in the sky; her eyes are bright as stars, deep and full of spirit. Just a glance at her can make people feel the endless majesty and kindness. With such a face, one can tell at a glance that the person is blessed, born with extraordinary nobility and auspiciousness.
The queen said quickly, "This is a tea made with top-grade donkey-hide gelatin. Zijin, you must drink more! This donkey-hide gelatin tea has the effect of nourishing yin and replenishing blood. Drinking it regularly will be of great benefit to your health."
When Zijin heard this, a look of gratitude appeared on his face. He quickly stood up and bowed to thank the Queen. Then he carefully stretched out his hands and gently picked up the teacup that was still steaming and emitting a faint fragrance.
He first sniffed the tea, then slightly opened his red lips and took a sip. I just felt a warm current slowly flowing down my throat and instantly spread throughout my body, making me feel comfortable and relaxed. So he stopped hesitating and began to taste it in small sips.
Seeing Zijin so well-behaved and sensible, the queen was even more delighted, and then she said earnestly: "Zijin, now you have been chosen by Xuan'er as his concubine, and Xuan'er likes you very much! After you marry into the East Palace, you must serve Xuan'er wholeheartedly and give him more children. Only in this way can our royal family be prosperous!"
Xuan'er is now almost thirty years old, and he still has no children to take care of him. Perhaps in a few years, when other families have already had children and grandchildren and are enjoying the happiness of family, Xuan'er will still be alone and lonely.
You have to know that in this deep royal family, not having offspring is a big taboo! If things continue like this, Xuan'er's position as crown prince may be difficult to maintain. Once the crown prince is deposed, Zijin, you might as well think carefully about what kind of miserable and sad end Xuan'er will suffer?
If you really like Xuan'er and really love her, after marrying her, you must also give birth to children for her. Not to mention, Xuan'er is a gay! I finally fell in love with you, Sixth Miss, and I feel that I have hope.
I was born in a poor family, and now I sit in this high position. For us, an orphan and a widow, it is really lonely up there! Once you fall, you will be crushed to pieces..."
Mrs. Du's words were sincere and true. As she spoke, she became a little sad and wiped away the tears that were about to fall with a handkerchief. Yin Zijin hurriedly stepped forward and comforted her: "Please rest assured, Queen, after I marry the Crown Prince, I will do my best to give birth to children for the Crown Prince."
Madam Du patted Yin Zijin's hand and said, "What a good child! None of my children ever made me worry-free. I will have to trouble you again for the trial tomorrow. By the way, how did you find out that the incense was problematic?"
