After seeing off Emperor Ming Yan, Tang Shiyue went to the front to find Yan Shitu.
As expected, Yan Shitu still stayed around. Tang Shirong and Huo Qiyang ignored him, so he just read a book and glanced outside from time to time.
As soon as she passed by, he saw her, quickly threw away the book, and ran over: "Yuer!"
Tang Shiyue was standing on the steps, a head taller than him, so she pressed his shoulder and said softly, "Some things are not ready yet, do you understand? But if you want to come see me, you can follow my brother."
Not yet.
Instead of denying!
Yan Shitu's eyes sparkled and lit up.
He tried desperately to suppress his joy, wanting to scream but not daring to. Finally, he opened his arms and hugged her tightly.
Boys and girls are not allowed to sit at the same table as each other due to age difference of seven. His action was totally frivolous.
Tang Shirong was furious at the time and came out of the study room directly: "Yan Shitu!"
...
...
Yan Shitu let go of his hand and wiped away the tears of laughter. When he looked at Tang Shirong again, he was full of pride, saying "Hahaha, I am the relative", gave him an arrogant look, and ran away.
Tang Shirong was so angry that he stared at his back, then slowly realized something was wrong and turned back to glare at her.
Tang Shiyue made a face at him.
He hurried over and lowered his voice: "Yueyue! Marriage is a serious matter, it's not a joke! If you do this, where will Jing stand!"
What the hell is going on!
Tang Shiyue patted his shoulder helplessly: "Brother, don't worry..." She was really a little worried, "You are such a fool, how can I let you go out alone?"
She said to Huo Qiyang through the window: "Ayang, please take care of him more often."
Huo Qiyang: "I understand, sister."
Tang Shirong: "..."
Tang Shiyue and the female official studied hard for three days, and then it was the empress dowager's birthday.
Early in the morning, she brought Linlang into the palace.
According to the rules, she had to go and pay a visit to the Empress Dowager first. The Imperial Noble Consort's people were waiting for her halfway, and kept comforting her, telling her not to be afraid, saying that the Imperial Noble Consort had already gone.
The Cining Palace was already filled with beautiful women in elegant clothes.
The concubines in the harem had been listening to the story of Lady Enfu for more than half a year. When they heard that she was coming today, they all got up early and went to the Cining Palace to prepare to watch the first scene.
Many people were secretly waiting to see her make a fool of herself, such as the queen who suffered greatly at her hands.
As soon as the eunuch called out the name, the laughter in the palace suddenly stopped, and everyone's eyes swept over.
Even the imperial concubine who had arrived earlier was extremely worried by this situation and held her handkerchief tightly.
But how could she be wrong?
There are only a few people here? She has seen scenes with tens of thousands of people, right?
Movie Queen Tang is not afraid.
So, under the gaze of everyone, the young lady in the third-rank imperial robes, with a face that was 90% similar to the Imperial Concubine, had a calm expression and very steady feet. She walked step by step, without shaking her shoulders, arms, or eyes, all the way to the front of the cushion, clasped her hands lightly, bowed her body steadily, raised her head and said: "I bow to the Empress Dowager, may the Empress Dowager live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
In fact, it was not until she learned from the female officials that she learned that women did not need to touch their heads to the ground when they knelt down to pay respects... Because with hair full of pearls and jade, it was unrealistic to touch the ground, so there was the ladylike way of paying respects by bowing solemnly.
The room was silent for a while because everyone was stunned.
Is this a young lady from the countryside?
These rules, these manners, these bearings, are as smooth as flowing clouds and running water; they are both beautiful and elegant.
Even if they were asked to do it themselves, they might not be able to do it so well.
The Imperial Concubine couldn't suppress her joy.
She really liked her daughter's reliability when doing things, and seeing the expressions of these people made her feel proud!
The Queen Mother was also a little surprised.
After all, after listening to Emperor Ming Yan's words, she really didn't have much hope for the rules.
But seeing that she did a good job, he was also a little satisfied and nodded: "She is a good child. Get up."
Tang Shiyue thanked him and then stood up.
The Queen Mother asked, "I heard that you are the goddess of fortune among the people? You are blessed by heaven and have great fortune. Is this true?"
Tang Shiyue replied respectfully, "Your Highness, Enfu is just a commoner. How could I be so blessed as to be favored by the Heaven? I think it is only because of the peace and prosperity of the country, the people's well-being, the great talent and vision of the Emperor, and the great virtue of the Empress Dowager that Enfu is lucky enough to have such luck."
These words sounded so nice that the Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction.
Someone asked sarcastically, "Why didn't you give this blessing to the emperor?"
Tang Shiyue smiled, thinking that this person should be the cannon fodder in the palace fight... The first one to jump out is usually the stupidest.
Linlang whispered, "This is Concubine Jing."
According to the Dayan etiquette, concubines and above can be called "Niangniang".
So Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "Empress Jing, the emperor is the ruler of the world. Even when two countries are in contact, there are envoys running around. Could it be that the emperor must personally handle important matters? This is one thing. Secondly, the emperor is the ruler of all people. The blessings of all people in this world naturally belong to the emperor, not just Enfu."
"You..." Concubine Jing was speechless.
Although Tang Shiyue's words were ordinary, they were full of traps. Could she say that the emperor was not the master of the world and the master of all people?
Jingpin was unwilling to accept this and asked, "Even if you are an envoy, why did they choose you?"
"Enfu doesn't know," Tang Shiyue smiled lightly, "God's choice of people can only be explained by chance. Enfu privately guessed that maybe it was because Enfu was quite well behaved in front of the elders!"
The Imperial Concubine almost laughed out loud.
When she said she was well-behaved in front of her elders, didn't that mean Concubine Jing was not well-behaved in front of her elders?
This man is the Queen's lackey, who has always been known for his sharp tongue and pretending to be straightforward. Now, he has suffered a setback!
Jingpin choked up and said with wide eyes: "Enfu is really good at talking. You said you are well-behaved in front of your elders... Oh, I heard that your elders are very 'interesting'!"
Several concubines covered their mouths and laughed. They were all people who had read the Stories of the Four Extreme Women.
Tang Shiyue was not sure what to say since this involved her elders. Then her mother stepped forward and said with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment, Sister Jingpin. I am indeed quite interesting. But since the emperor is the supreme ruler, is it inappropriate to describe me as 'interesting'?"
Concubine Jing's face changed.
Although Tang Shiyue is still the county lady, everyone has inside information and people call her Aye and A Niang directly.
She was afraid to speak for a moment.
The emperor regards her as his daughter. If the emperor knew that she dared to mention the Four Extremes Women, wouldn't that be a thorn in the emperor's heart!
The Queen Mother looked at him coldly, and only then said, "Forget it, you keep chattering whenever we meet!"
Everyone lowered their hands and begged for mercy.
The Queen Mother said gently, "Enfu can come to the palace often if you have nothing to do and talk to me."
Tang Shiyue responded quickly, and asked someone to bring up the prepared things: "Today is the Queen Mother's birthday, and Enfu has nothing to show for it. This is the sandalwood essential oil made by Enfu himself. Apply a few drops at night, and you will sleep well and it is good for your health. If the Queen Mother doesn't mind, please keep it for your enjoyment."
"Oh?" The Queen Mother was very interested.
She had seen a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, so they were no longer rare to her. However, she was old and her sleep was not very good, and it was not easy for her to take medicine frequently. She had heard the women in the palace talk about this essential oil, and it was said to be very good.
She ordered someone to take it over. In the wooden box were four very exquisite bottles of essential oils and two very exquisite stoves. There was also a piece of paper with instructions for use written on it, which was very thoughtful.
The Queen Mother nodded with a smile: "Enfu is thoughtful."
At the same time, he asked people to reward him, and then everyone came out.
Tang Shiyue had to follow the Queen to Kunning Palace, and then perform another round of kneeling kowtow.
The queen looked very dignified, with thick makeup, straight eyebrows, and an awe-inspiring and inviolable look... Maybe this is the legendary face of a legal wife? Anyway, if she were a man, she would never marry such a woman. What's the difference between marrying a mother?
The queen looked at her with a malicious look.
But after all, there were so many people around, so she didn't make any small troubles like not waking up for a long time. She just gave them some gifts quickly and left.
Apart from the Empress Dowager and the Queen, her mother had the highest rank in the harem. She had to go to the Imperial Noble Consort's Yonghe Palace to pay her respects again... before she could complete the process.
Then the people from the Imperial Concubine's Palace came and changed her hairstyle and jewelry, making them slightly simpler than before.
Tang Shiyue grumbled to her: "Mother, why is that person calling her Jingpin when she's so nagging? Does Aye mean to tell her to shut up?"
