The days finally passed calmly, and Wan Qing was busy practicing martial arts, learning piano, and calligraphy every day.
Grandma Xi taught for a few more days and then returned to her hometown to retire and no longer taught etiquette. Wan Qing gradually had more and more time for herself, and she felt comfortable when she was free. Unfortunately, she didn't have a companion by her side, so she missed her very much.
Su Ling.
Su Ling had recently gone to the nunnery with his mother to pray, but had no chance to come to see him.
The days passed like water. As Wan Qing became more and more accustomed to the life in Zuofu, the day of entering the palace was gradually approaching...
In the morning of that day, Wan Qing wanted to practice her basics for a while before going to dress up, but she was immediately stopped by Mrs. Zuo who got up early to get ready.
"Wan'er, you are still practicing martial arts today!" Following Mrs. Zuo's scolding, Mrs. Zuo stood at the door wearing a red dress and snatched the wooden sword from Wan Qing's hand. Her eyes widened.
Mo Xiang and Mei Hong were both startled, "You two, why don't you change your clothes for me?"
"It's Madam!" The two men responded immediately and quickly changed Wan Qing's clothes.
Wan Qing touched her nose awkwardly, sat on the stool and let Mo Xiang and Mei Hong dress up.
In the past ten days, Mo Xiang and Mei Hong have made a lot of progress through the tutoring nanny's unknowing tips. In addition, Wan Qing treats them very well, and the two of them think about Wan Qing wholeheartedly.
No flaws are left behind. Although the movements of the hands are fast, they are still steady.
Seeing that it was almost time, Mrs. Zuo took Wan Qing out of the palace. Because they were going into the palace, Mrs. Zuo and Wan Qing did not ride in the same sedan, but sat separately.
In order to prevent herself from getting bored in the sedan chair, Wan Qing took a book of piano music and got on the sedan chair.
Because she was concentrating on studying the music score, Wan Qing did not feel oppressed or panicked. However, when Wan Qing, who was still relatively relaxed, could vaguely see the grandeur of the palace through the swaying curtains, she suddenly felt a little panicked in her heart.
The sedan landed steadily at Xuanwu Gate. With the help of Mo Xiang, Zuo Wanqing got out of the sedan and followed Mrs. Zuo.
Mrs. Zuo was already used to walking among the magnificent buildings, but she slowed down because she noticed Wan Qing's panic, and calmly patted Wan Qing's hand to signal her to relax.
Since the Queen Mother was summoned today, Mrs. Zuo took Wan Qing directly to the Summer Palace.
Unfortunately, before arriving at the Summer Palace, Wan Qing saw the yin-yin-yang-yang eldest prince approaching from a distance. Suddenly, the remaining panic turned into a sense of helplessness. He did not expect that this would happen unintentionally.
It did help her a lot.
Mrs. Zuo saw that Wan Qing had relaxed a little, and the smile on her face grew stronger.
"An Zhen is here." After bowing, the Queen Mother waved Chu Wanru over. Before Chu Wanru could reach the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother hurriedly added, "Why?
Come here, why don't you bring your precious daughter to the Ai family! She's hiding it and not showing it to the Ai family! Once you get married, you won't understand the Ai family's thoughts!"
Wan Qing bowed to the Queen Mother again, and then followed Chu Wanru to the Queen Mother.
"Come, raise your head." The Queen Mother stretched out her hand and took Wan Qing's hand, bringing her closer. Then she gently squeezed Wan Qing's palm, frowning suddenly, and there was a slight hint in her tone.
Blaming, "Anzhen, how do you raise a child? How come you are so thin!"
Chu Wanru was startled. She didn't expect the Queen Mother to say this. Just when she was about to accuse her, Wan Qing's voice came out softly, "I would like to report to the Queen Mother, my mother treated Wan'er very well, but Wan'er
She's very active, so she doesn't gain much weight."
"Are you so active?" The Queen Mother didn't seem to believe it. After living for so many years, she could tell at a glance that this child was Xijing, so how could she still say that she was so active? Just as she was about to ask again, several princes and princesses also came one after another.
The Queen Mother snorted lowly and waved her hand to ask Chu Wanru and Wan Qing to sit aside for the time being.
"Lu Rong pays his respects to the Queen Mother." As the eldest prince's greetings sounded, several subsequent princes and princesses knelt down to pay their respects one after another.
The Queen Mother asked them to stand up, and she caught a glimpse of the second prince whom she loved the most. She couldn't help but want to let him stay a little longer, so she said, "Come here, prepare some snacks. Today, the prince and princess will have dinner at the Ai family."
Already."
The eldest prince obviously arrived at about the same time as his party, but he came in a little later. He didn't know what kind of medicine was being sold in the gourd.
Wan Qing was secretly vigilant, but at this time she could only watch her nose and heart, and just listened quietly.
"Luchen, the Ai family saw someone with a very similar temperament to you today." Seeing that she was speechless for a moment, the Queen Mother found a way to talk to Chu Luchen.
Chu Luchen's voice was not as elegant as expected, but rather hoarse. Several princesses snickered, but Chu Luchen had no reaction. Knowing the Queen Mother's thoughts, he led the introduction back to Wan Qing.
On the body, "Back to the Queen Mother, the person who looks similar to Chen'er is Miss Zuo's family?"
"Ouch! If you don't mention it, the Ai family will almost forget it!" The Queen Mother pretended to slap her forehead, and quickly called Princess Anzhen and Wan Qing to them, "Lu Chen, let me tell you, this Wan Qing
My son also said that he is very active, what do you think?"
The princes and princesses also knew that the Queen Mother favored these two princes, so they just listened to their conversation as a matter of fun. If they couldn't skip the morning and evening arrangements, they wouldn't want to come here.
However, Chu Luchen and the fourth prince Chu Luyi then turned their attention to Zuo Wanqing, who was standing beside Princess Anzhen.
Wan Qing is wearing a newly made lake blue pleated Ruyi moon skirt today, and the blue dress makes her skin look as clean as snow. In addition, with her slim waist, it is no wonder that the Queen Mother thinks she is too much.
thin.
At this moment, she was half-lowering her head and couldn't see her expression clearly, but it made the two of them look forward to it.
The two of them wanted to take a closer look, but Wan Qing felt that her cheeks were about to burn. She lowered her face a little.
"Why, Lu Chen is also interested?" The Queen Mother interrupted the two of them at the right time and turned the conversation to Wan Qing, "Wan Qing, please tell the Ai family, why are you so restless?
What's the solution? If what you say is wrong, the Ai family will still have Wanru to blame."
Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother would suddenly throw the words at her. Wan Qing raised her head in panic, but quickly calmed down, "Queen Queen Mother, you are very active when you play the guqin?"
The Queen Mother smiled and shook her head, then immediately denied, "This does not count."
"Empress Dowager, how about Wan Qing plays a song before making a decision?" Wan Qing bowed to the Queen Mother again and waited for the Queen Mother's response.
The Queen Mother pretended to think for a moment, then called for the guqin, "It's ready for the Ai family."
Wan Qing thanked the Queen Mother and sat down behind the guqin. The moment the guqin played, her whole temperament seemed to suddenly sublimate, and it seemed that only this qin and this person were left in the world.
