Chapter 2413 Waste Princess 2
Judging from the appearance of this aunt, she was nearly fifty years old. She was wearing a fine-woven cotton robe, with a fine powder on her face and a red lip.
Wear a hanging bun, that is, after all the hair is let down, tie a knot in the middle. At this time, hairstyles are not as varied as they were in the later stages, and are all very simple.
Wearing silver millet bead dangle earrings on each side of her ears. When walking, she holds her hands on her belly and the dangled earrings barely move.
Ordinary palace attendants are not allowed to wear makeup and usually wear dark clothes with tops and bottoms. To be dressed like this and at this age, she must be a maid serving as a dowry to the Queen Mother.
Xining bowed slightly and saluted: "This aunt is well."
The aunt immediately stepped aside and said: "It turns out to be the fourteenth princess. The old slave is just a maid beside the Queen Mother, so there is no need to salute."
"My aunt must have served my grandmother all year round. In Mo'er's eyes, you are also an elder." Xining said it as it should without blushing.
"Princess Fourteen, you're welcome." Even though my aunt has been in the palace all year round and has long been trained to be indestructible, she still can't help but slightly raise the corners of her mouth: "Serving the master is what an old slave should do. I don't know what Princess Fourteen will do today." What’s the matter?”
"I haven't seen my grandma for a long time, and I don't know how she is. I miss her very much. Maybe I have been thinking about her day and night, and I had a dream last night, which made me feel uneasy, so I came to visit today. I hope it will be convenient for my aunt."
It's not enough to just talk about it. The ancients believed in the art of witchcraft and Gu. When it came to dreaming, they were almost certain to see the Queen Mother.
The aunt hesitated: "Princess Fourteen, please wait a moment."
Xining responded immediately: "Sorry, auntie."
As soon as the aunt left, the maidservant was a little panicked. She didn't expect that the fourteenth princess was so willing to spare her efforts. He rolled his eyes several times, but when his aunt came back, she still didn't come forward.
Based on this alone, Xi Ning made a rough analysis. The Queen Mother probably doesn't see many people at ordinary times, because if she does meet later, she might file a complaint. It's not like she can't eat and is walking around. It was expected that the Queen Mother would be just like before and would not see her, so she did not surrender.
The aunt came over and said: "Please invite the fourteenth princess to come with the old slave."
Chun'er, who had already climbed up, suddenly became energetic. She raised her head in front of the sweeping maid and made a arrogant gesture. Then she lowered her head and followed her obediently.
These aunts naturally saw it but said nothing. There are many things going on in the palace, and it doesn't happen every day.
The sweeping maid was completely panicked now. She kept holding the broom while sweeping the floor. She didn't know where to look or what to think.
After entering the courtyard, you turned a corner and saw the main hall.
When you get to the door, take off your shoes and walk in. A man in his fifties, wearing a dark long sleeved coat, was kneeling in front of a low table with food on the table.
Because she was sitting sideways, she could see that her hair was hanging down and braided into a bun on the back of her neck, with a hosta stuck in it. With powdered face and black eyebrows, she must be the Queen Mother Liang Jishi.
Xining immediately knelt down and saluted: "Grandma."
The Queen Mother glanced sideways, her etiquette was correct and she knew the rules. So he said: "Come and sit."
Now that I'm here, I might as well act like a loving grandmother.
Xining stood up and saw that a palace attendant had already placed a futon opposite the low table. She went over, slightly pressed down the front of her gown, and knelt down.
Her behavior was dignified and measured. The Queen Mother nodded slightly, but her hair was messy. She was young and didn't wear makeup, but why wasn't her hair combed?
Glancing sideways, I saw the little maid who was still kneeling on the ground shivering. She looked thin and small. She was still a child. Naturally, she couldn't serve her master well.
"Tell me what you dreamed about last night, tell me."
Sure enough, when it comes to metaphysics, the ancients were interested. After all, dreams can also predict good or bad luck. Xining looked at the dishes on the table, swallowed his saliva, and began to make up: "Last night, Mo'er dreamed of an old man. Although he didn't look angry or intimidating, he was very kind to Mo'er. Although Mo'er had never seen him before, But he felt cordial. He told Mo'er to come find her grandmother, and by the way..."
Seeing her lowering her head, no longer daring to look, and hesitating, the Queen Mother became anxious: "What did you say?"
Xining pretended to be brave and lowered his voice: "He knows a lot of things, but he has also been sorry for you before, so let's forget it." Mo'er was confused after hearing this. What else did she want to ask? He disappeared in the blink of an eye, and Mo'er woke up with a start."
The Queen Mother stayed where she was, confused and filled with sadness that could not be hidden.
She held a high position and was her legitimate wife, but it was her concubine who inherited the throne. In the body owner's memory, the Queen Mother once had a son, but he died at the age of ten. The remaining two daughters were married to other vassal states by King Liang a few years ago and became queens.
As the legitimate mother, the princes and kings have long-term marriages and are inextricably linked, so the life of the Queen Mother will not be much worse. I won’t miss out on celebrating birthdays during festivals and festivals, and I will definitely invite you to a family dinner. All the gifts were received, but during the family dinner, the Queen Mother said she liked purity and rejected them.
After all, King Liang's queen is not the Queen Mother's surname Ji, but Jiang.
The Queen Mother remembered all the things she had done before, since she was a girl, full of anxiety and expectations, she brought the vine girl and a large amount of dowry to the Liang Kingdom to get married. Then she fought to the death with her sisters, got pregnant and gave birth to a child... She didn't dare to think about it anymore. Every time she thought about her ten-year-old son's high fever and his death, she felt so distressed that she couldn't breathe.
Subconsciously holding a bowl of corn porridge, he took a sip in despair.
"Gululu~"
The Queen Mother looked up and saw that the voice came from the 14th Princess sitting opposite: "Have you eaten?"
"Go back to grandma, I used it."
After using it, I licked my lips, swallowed, and almost dropped my eyes into the bowl of porridge.
The Queen Mother was dumbfounded: "Then use more and pass this bowl of porridge."
The personal maid picked up the bowl and placed it respectfully in front of Xi Ning.
Even if he is about to starve to death, he is not busy eating. He holds it in front of his eyes with both hands, as if holding a rich reward, and bows his head to thank: "Thank you, grandma."
Then he took the bowl in one hand, raised his sleeve to cover it with the other, and started drinking porridge.
After taking this sip, the water gate was opened immediately, and the porridge poured straight down.
The queen mother and the dowry aunt were both stunned. They looked at each other and knew what each other was thinking. This means I'm hungry, and I'm very hungry.
After finishing half the bowl of porridge in one go, Xining let out a breath, smiled sheepishly at the Queen Mother, and placed the bowl gently on the table without being disrespectful. His eyes were focused on the white-cut mutton on the table again, and he swallowed his saliva.
The Queen Mother was angry and funny, and her feelings were here to take advantage of her: "Eat, eat. Just eat whatever you want. There is nothing to be embarrassed about here with my grandmother."
"Thank you, grandma." Xining happily picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Seeing one chopstick after another, the food reaches the mouth and is swallowed before it is chewed, as if a starving ghost has been reincarnated. The Queen Mother turned from shocked to calm.
"Gululu..." This time the voice came from the side.
It came from the belly of the little maid kneeling aside.
Xining stopped using his chopsticks, stopped chewing in his full mouth, and looked at the Queen Mother pitifully. Just like the stray kittens outside, their eyes are full of hope and extravagant hope.
