Chapter 1882 Stop and fight 40
Who is counting on this measurement?
Xining smiled: "I just got this. Is it possible that the palace will reward me with a second-hand one? Take a good look at the difference between these two!"
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the two corollas, both of which were of second grade, with eight flower hairpins and eight Baodian flowers. But the difference was that the corolla in the other person's hand was relatively new.
The emerald green and cloisonne on the corolla will become somewhat dull in color over time.
After being exposed, the other party put the flower crown in his hand on his head: "Who said the new one is yours? This one belongs to the county master." After saying that, he stood up without any explanation and strode forward.
There is a way to repair a missing pearl, but a broken wing at the end of the corolla is too obvious. Where can I find a craftsman to repair it for a while?
Xining could only sigh slightly and took the flower crown from the hand of the palace maid: "My little daughter has no choice but to go back. If the queen mother asks, please inform the female official."
The maid wearing the "One Year Scenery" headdress immediately agreed that today was a good day, and it was somewhat rude to wear a flower crown with missing arms and legs. If it is serious, he may be judged to be impolite in front of the Queen Mother and may be beheaded. So taking leave is the best way.
The pace of everyone did not slow down. The time had come and they could not stay and let the Queen Mother wait. At this time, everyone had basically walked out.
She could only hold the broken flower crown and follow the palace maid on the way back.
In the eyes of others, it seemed that she was very unlucky because she didn't even attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. It ended in such a dismal way and she went back dejected. In fact, she was quite happy. In fact, the palace banquet was not fun at all. Not only did she have to sit still and not move around, but she also had to be mentally alert.
This dynasty is pretty good, and the king is not stupid. Try it in the Jin Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty. Even if you are extremely careful, you may lose your head.
So no matter what the palace banquet is, the second aunt in the house is not bad at cooking. When I go back, I want a roasted chicken and a pot of roasted lamb ribs. Wouldn’t that be delicious? And you can sit or lie down and eat whatever you want, it's very comfortable.
After leaving the palace, Aunt Jiang and Taohong, who came with them, were very surprised as to why they came out so early.
When he saw the broken corolla in her hand, he roughly understood what was going on. The county owner had been tricked.
After being helped into the car, Xining breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go." Let's go home and eat roast chicken and mutton.
Oxen are not very fast, and during wartime all year round, horses are basically used as war horses, so they are very scarce. Even if they were first-class civil servants, they would ride in sedan chairs or ox-carts when going to court, and only military attachés and wealthy people could ride horses.
When he was about to leave the last palace gate, he heard someone shouting from behind: "Master Yong'an County, please don't leave, Master Yong'an County..."
The guard at the door immediately stopped him, and with the sound of horse hooves, a guard came galloping over on a horse with a horse in tow.
After getting off the horse, he bowed beside the carriage and said: "Master Yong'an County, please stop, the Queen Mother has summoned you."
Xining...
The palace is so big that if you take an ox cart back, it will take at least one stick of incense to enter the two gates, so the guards also brought a horse when they came.
Her wish to go back home to eat roast chicken and mutton was shattered, so she had no choice but to go back. A eunuch knelt down to serve as a horse stool. He didn't care about anything at this time, so he stepped on it and mounted his horse. Fortunately, the hem of the court dress is big enough, but after all, it is a skirt, so it is still a bit inconvenient.
The guard stood under the horse and pulled the reins, raised his head and asked: "Can the county master know how to ride a horse?"
"Yes!" Xining stretched out his hand to pull the reins over and turned the horse's head.
Seeing that she could ride a horse, the guard got on his horse and galloped away with her towards the palace. After getting off the horse, a palace maid came up immediately carrying a basin and various toiletries. Her hands and feet were as fast as an assembly line.
Since you want to see the Queen Mother, of course you can't be rude. Xining quickly wiped her face, and while the palace maid helped comb her hair, she helped herself put on nude makeup again.
The maid in charge of dressing up helped her put on another flower crown and asked: "There are some pearls here, ordered by the queen mother, for the county lord to use for makeup."
This dynasty likes pearls, not only as jewelry, but also melts pearls with isinglass and sticks them on the forehead, temples and cheeks. This is called "pearl flower makeup".
Xining smiled faintly: "Although this makeup is good, is it a little too much for the little county master? The queen mother praises her love, but the little girl has to know how to praise her."
Pearls are valuable and are usually used in the palace. This time some princesses and princesses used them. They are also royal. What does it mean for a county princess who is not related to her to use this makeup? Who knows whether it was the Queen Mother who said it, or whether she was deliberately deceiving her and setting a trap for her. Anyway, it would be better to stay safe rather than pursue this kind of luxury.
When the palace maid heard this, she actually stopped her hands and immediately said with a bit of panic: "The county master is right, but these pearls are indeed ordered by the queen mother. I dare not lie about it. The county master has considered it carefully."
This is why she doesn't like the palace. She has to walk on thin ice every moment, for fear of saying the wrong thing. But the palace maid is like this, is it possible that she is afraid of what she will mention in front of the Queen Mother?
She said leisurely: "Thank you sister for informing me, but I think those who came to celebrate my birthday today are all noble people. No matter how I dress up, I can't match the nobility of these noble people, so the court dress flower crown is enough."
When the palace maid heard this, she felt relieved and continued to wait carefully.
After dressing up, Xining was led to the main hall.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was wrong. Please forgive me, Your Majesty..." Cries came one after another all the way.
The county magistrate who tripped her and snatched her flower crown, now with disheveled hair and only wearing underwear, was escorted out by two palace maids. I cried and shouted all the way, how miserable it was.
The servant who followed stopped and saluted her: "The Lord of Yong'an County."
"Is this?" Although he knew this was supposed to be for her to see, he still had to pretend to be confused.
The chamberlain lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "Huihe County Master made the Empress Dowager unhappy and expelled her from the palace. I have to go back to resume my life after finishing this matter. Please forgive Yongan County Master."
"Weng Weng, please." Xining nodded slightly and watched the servant quicken his pace to keep up with the team that was gradually moving away.
This should be regarded as supporting the body owner. Looking at the flower crown and the court uniform, it is too embarrassing. When the emperor finds out, he will most likely order to take away the title and fief.
Originally, he wanted to make her look embarrassed, maybe for his own pleasure, or maybe to please the princess who deliberately blocked the way, but in the end, his own glory and wealth were involved, and now he suffered a big loss!
You must know that being kicked out of the palace in this way will definitely have a great impact when discussing marriage in the future. You may not be able to marry someone from a small family immediately and sever ties with the family. If it loses its use value, the dowry will be much less. When it comes to the man's family, a woman who has been abandoned by her family will have a sad life.
Although the county owner is only fifteen or sixteen years old, the world is like this. Since you are in a high position and enjoy the glory and wealth, you must pay more attention to your words and deeds.
There is still an unanswered question, and what happened today is becoming more and more obvious. Why does the Queen Mother help the body master so much?
After thinking about it, I stepped into the temple.
