"Husband, I'm so nervous."
In the luxurious royal carriage, Qin Keqing leaned in Jiapo's arms with a nervous look on her face. Today is the day when Jiapo and Qin Keqing enter the palace to express their gratitude. They are married by the emperor. On the ninth day after the wedding, they need to bring Qin Keqing into the palace to meet the emperor and empress. , thank the emperor and empress for the marriage.
Jiapo held Qin Keqing in his arms and comforted her gently: "Don't be afraid, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are both very good people. The Queen Mother is kind and kind, and the Queen Mother is gentle and generous. They will not embarrass you."
"Really?"
After hearing what Jia Po said, Qin Keqing relaxed a little, raised her pretty face and asked uncertainly.
Japer lightly scratched his lovely wife's nose with his finger, pretending to be angry: "Ke'er, you don't believe in being a husband?"
"Giggle! I believe my husband's words." After saying that, he leaned his whole body into Japer's arms.
What Qin Keqing didn't know was that the two old men in the palace were more nervous than she was.
"How is it? How is the Ai family doing?"
The Queen Mother, wearing a red uniform, asked the Queen.
"Mother, are you sure you want to wear this?" Looking at the Queen Mother in normal clothes in front of her, the Queen Mother looked uncertain.
Seeing the Queen's question, the Queen Mother said with a sad face: "You girl, if the Ai family dresses formally, I guess that girl Ke'er won't be able to let go. This is the first time the Ai family has officially met the child in so many years. , the Ai family wants to leave a good impression on that child."
Seeing that the Queen Mother was getting sad, the Queen Mother hurriedly muttered: "The Queen Mother loves Ke'er so much, I am very envious of her."
The Queen Mother didn't know that this was the Queen trying to make her happy. She immediately smiled and said: "You and your sister-in-law were raised by the Ai family. Your sister-in-law has been dignified and quiet since childhood. You and your elder brother are a couple. Only you and the emperor have been naughty since childhood. Naughty, that time you and the emperor were punished by your father, it was not the Ai family who protected you."
"Oh! Mother, after all these years, you still say that your children are no longer obedient." When the queen saw that the queen mother said that she was a child, she quickly acted coquettishly to stop it.
Fortunately, the eunuchs and nuns around are all old people who have been accompanying the Queen Mother, and they have basically watched the Queen Mother and the others grow up, otherwise I'm afraid...
Seeing the queen begging for mercy, the queen mother relaxed a lot. She turned to a nanny beside her and said, "Go and see if that old guy is ready. If he delays the Ai family's meeting with their granddaughter, the Ai family won't be able to spare him."
There is no other old thing in the Queen Mother's mouth except the Supreme Emperor. Since the Supreme Emperor ceased to be in power, he basically looked for the Queen Mother outside Ci'an Palace every day. It was not until Emperor Longchang sent someone to tell the Queen Mother that he might have found his eldest brother's daughter that the Queen Mother first Gaffe, it was also on that day that the relationship between the Emperor and the Queen Mother eased, although not much.
After basically confirming Qin Keqing's identity, the two old men came to the Qin Mansion with the opportunity of a gift from the palace. The Queen Mother tried on Qin Keqing's phoenix crown and harem to completely confirm that Qin Keqing was her stolen granddaughter. At that time, the Queen Mother almost rushed up to hold Qin Keqing and asked her to If the Queen hadn't arranged for the nanny to stop it in time, I'm afraid the wedding wouldn't have been able to go ahead.
At this time, in Chongming Palace, His Majesty the Emperor was covering his forehead and looking at his father.
"Dragon robe! Dragon robe! They are all dragon robes! I want to wear something more friendly, not these dragon robes! Can Ke'er still feel Yu's kindness in the dragon robe?" At this time, the Supreme Emperor changed into more than ten robes in a row. None of the clothes and robes were satisfactory. He blew his beard angrily and stared at the people below.
The old eunuchs and old ladies below were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and trembled all over.
Just then, an old eunuch said bravely: "Your Majesty! A few days ago, when I came back from home to visit my relatives, I bought a Songhe longevity robe. I have never worn it..." Before he could finish, he said If he dared to say any more, his whole body would tremble even more.
The Supreme Emperor knew that this eunuch had served him for almost forty years, and his figure was similar to his own, so he said, "Go and get it. If I am satisfied, I will benefit from you."
When the old eunuch heard this, he quickly got up and ran out to get the Songhe longevity robe. Fortunately, he lived in the palace, which was not far from Chongming Palace, but he came back in a short time.
After a while, the Supreme Emperor, who put on Songhe's longevity robe, nodded with satisfaction and rewarded the old eunuch with another two thousand taels of silver. Everyone else also received ten taels of silver each. The emperor felt heartbroken when he saw it. The court was indeed not short of money now, but You can't be so lavish with rewards.
After a while, the palace maid came to report that Jia Po and Qin Keqing had entered the palace.
Jia Po and Qin Keqing walked towards Ci'an Palace. They originally planned to visit the Empress in Fengyi Palace, but Xia Shouzhong stopped them halfway and said that His Majesty the Emperor asked them to go to Ci'an Palace to meet him. He heard that they were visiting Ci'an. When the palace met, Jiapo knew in his heart that it was the two old people who wanted to see Qin Keqing, and he was relieved. At least the royal family's attitude towards Qin Keqing was not bad now. Even judging from the wedding of the two, the royal family was treating Qin Keqing. You have to make amends, otherwise even if you marry a princess, you will be overstepping the bounds of etiquette in many aspects.
Soon the two of them arrived at Ci'an Palace under the leadership of Xia Shouzhong.
In the palace, the Emperor and the Queen Mother sit high on it. The Emperor sits on the left of the Emperor, the Queen sits on the right of the Queen Mother, and the Prince sits behind the Emperor.
In the center, there are dancers dancing and musicians playing. It looks so lively. However, the whole family present was too distracted to enjoy the singing and dancing. Except for the prince who didn't know what he was thinking about, the emperor and the queen mother looked outside the palace door from time to time. The emperor and the queen looked at the door with expectation in their eyes. .
Entering the main hall, the singing, dancing and vocal music stopped abruptly.
The Queen Mother's eyes instantly fell on Qin Keqing.
Perhaps because he sensed the gazes of the Queen Mother and the others, Japer could feel Qin Keqing's whole body beginning to tremble, and he immediately held his lovely wife's hand. As if sensing her husband's encouragement, Qin Keqing adjusted her mentality in one breath, and then saluted with Japer. .
Qin Keqing's nervous look also fell into the eyes of the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother, and they were severely pinched in their hearts: "This is the granddaughter of the Ai family. This palace was originally her home, but now she is so nervous when she returns to her own home."
The emperor and the empress felt equally uncomfortable: "This is my eldest brother's bloodline, my only bloodline. She should have been the apple of the royal family's eye, the eldest princess of Daxing, but now she has to be so cautious."
"Your Majesty, Japer, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Queen Mother, His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty the Queen."
"My concubine, Jia Qin, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor, the Queen Mother, His Majesty the Emperor, and the Queen."
"Hurry up and forgive me!" A kind and kind voice came in front of Jiapo and Qin Keqing, and at the same time a pair of old hands helped Qin Keqing up. This is the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother looked at Qin Keqing, her eyes filled with emotions of love, joy, distress, and longing.
Qin Keqing could feel the Queen Mother's mood in front of her. She was at a loss and didn't know why the Queen Mother showed these emotions to her, but she always felt that she had seen the Queen Mother somewhere.
"The Queen Mother! Have we met before?" Qin Keqing looked at the Queen Mother and felt very friendly in her heart for some reason. Looking at the Queen Mother, her originally nervous mood became extremely relaxed.
"My child, we met when I gave you the phoenix crown and harem to try on that day." The Queen Mother looked at Qin Keqing lovingly and said, but in her heart: "My dear, I am your grandmother. Your grandmother was the best when you were a child. I like holding you, and now that you are finally back, the Aijia will not let you leave the Aijia."
At this time, the Supreme Emperor also came over and said with a smile: "Haha, girl, where is Yu? Didn't you forget Yu? Haha"
Seeing the Supreme Emperor approaching, Qin Keqing was about to salute, but the Queen Mother frowned and stopped him from saluting, saying: "Don't pay attention to him, come and tell Aijia how you have been in these years." After saying that, he pulled Qin Keqing towards him. The throne walked away.
Upon seeing this, the Supreme Emperor glared at Japer first and then hurriedly chased after him.
Only Japer stood there with a wry smile the whole time and thought to himself: "I am also your grandson-in-law after all. You should pay attention to me!"
