My heart hurts when I mention the abolition

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the flower viewing feast.

According to Madam Zheng's statistics, most of the unmarried girls from aristocratic families in the capital will be there, and only a very few will find an excuse of being sick or are really sick and will not come.

Nanny Zheng persuaded her again, "Your Majesty, you should take care of yourself. Although you don't want to go through the muddy water in the palace, we live in this palace and we can't escape no matter what. If that's the case, why don't you just go to the palace?" Refreshment to ensure that you will have peace of mind."

After all, she sighed deeply, thinking that this time the empress would be like before, not paying attention to her admonition.

However, Chen Yizhen's expression was heavy. After a while, he suddenly stretched out his hand, held her hands tightly, and said, "Nurse, you are right. I was indeed too indulgent in the past. Don't worry, I have recovered now, no I will make such low-level mistakes again."

Madam Zheng: "...??"

Chen Yizhen withdrew his hand, straightened his sleeves, and turned towards the main entrance of Zhongcui Palace, "Let's go."

Of course, Chen Yizhen would not go to the Royal Garden to wait for those noble ladies to come over. She would first go to Ningshou Palace to pay her respects and have a chat with the Empress Dowager. After all the noble ladies arrived, she would accompany the Empress Dowager to the Imperial Garden .

When she arrived at Ningshou Palace, the empress dowager had already arrived, and she was chatting with the empress dowager.

"Look at my concubine, He Yourong, the granddaughter of Mr. He's family, is pretty good, and the youngest daughter of Mr. Zhang, Minister of Rites..."

Seeing Chen Yizhen coming in, the corners of her mouth drooped invisibly, then she looked away and her voice stopped immediately.

On the contrary, the Empress Dowager waved to her with a smile, and ordered the maid to bring a stool over and put it beside her.

Chen Yizhen saluted with a smile, and sat on the stool.

The Empress Dowager pursed her lips, coughed, and turned the subject back, "Old Ancestor, what do you think?"

The Empress Dowager waved her hand, "The Ai family is old and has passed the age of worrying. You, the emperor, and the empress will decide on this matter, and finally choose a candidate for the Ai family to take a look at."

The Empress Dowager was satisfied, and nodded her head submissively.

What the empress dowager said meant that she had the full power to handle the matter. As we all know, Chen Yizhen would not and was not qualified to make a fuss about the draft. As for the emperor, the empress dowager never thought that her son would disagree.

In addition to the candidates she mentioned, she would naturally arrange people from her natal family, but she was a little hesitant and didn't know what title to arrange. If she was lower, she was afraid of wronging her niece, and if she was higher, she would not be able to justify the emperor and the empress dowager.

The Empress Dowager sat by herself, thinking about something in her heart, changing her expression back and forth, while Chen Yizhen next to her lowered her head, looking respectful and humble, but her mind had already drifted away.

After an unknown amount of time, seeing that it was getting late, the Empress Dowager finally decided to leave.

Chen Yizhen hurried forward and supported the empress dowager with one arm. The empress dowager wanted to help her with the other arm, but the empress dowager moved away calmly. The empress dowager felt embarrassed, and she pretended to take back her palm as if nothing had happened.

The three of them came to the imperial garden, and from a distance, they saw twenty or thirty young girls scattered in silk and satin, light gauze, full of jewels and jewels.

Looking at this scene from a distance, Chen Yizhen couldn't help narrowing his eyes slightly, feeling lost. She was the same age as them back then, but she skipped this step directly, even until the decree to make her queen came out clearly, the empress dowager It was only then that she was formally summoned for a blind date.

When the noble ladies saw them, they hurriedly gathered and blessed them respectfully.

"See Empress Dowager Empress, Empress Dowager Empress, Empress Empress, Empress Dowager Empress, Empress Dowager Empress, Queen Empress Empress."

The Empress Dowager smiled and raised her hand, "Let's all get flat, there is no need to be polite."

Seeing that many people gathered together just now, seeming to be discussing something, she couldn't help being curious, "What are you discussing?"

After calming down for a while, He Yourong took the lead to stand up and answered the Empress Dowager with a smile, "Going back to the ancestors, it was the younger sister of the Xia family and the [cx exclusive] younger sister of the Zhang family who saw the golden chrysanthemums blooming in the imperial garden. So I made two paintings, and my courtiers and others were invited to sit around in front of the paintings and comment on them."

"Oh?" The Empress Dowager rose up, "What kind of two paintings are they?"

She is a wealthy and noble daughter from the Zanying family, and she has also been influenced by piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, especially chess and painting, which are her favorite two.

He Yourong hurriedly led them to the pavilion.

Sure enough, there are two paintings on the stone table in the pavilion, a golden chrysanthemum swaying against the bright sun, the painter used splashed ink in a large space, dotting the layers of petals to render the golden chrysanthemum vigorous and strong.

The other picture is exactly the opposite. Although the painter also used rich splashes of ink to dot the clusters, people with a discerning eye can see that the chrysanthemums in this painting have clearly entered the withering period. Let it go, but sooner or later the north wind blows and the fragrance of flowers drifts away.

The two paintings have their own advantages and different points of emphasis. I have to say that the painting skills of the two noble ladies are really outstanding, no wonder they dare to openly paint on this occasion.

The Empress Dowager commented with a smile, "They are all very good. The picture of chrysanthemums in autumn on the left is lifelike, rich and splendid, and the one on the right shows the strength of chrysanthemums. It is not bad."

Although the Empress Dowager only said such a simple sentence, people with a discerning eye can already hear the meaning in her words. The Empress Dowager clearly prefers the painting on the right.

It's not that the painting on the right is much better than the one on the left, it's just that the Empress Dowager is in her prime of life, and naturally she can't agree with young people in her way of looking at things and appreciating things.

In normal times, it would be nothing, but at this time, the Empress Dowager's casual praise was related to the important matter of entering the palace, so the painter on the left could see it with the naked eye, and immediately lowered his head, his face showing disappointment, while the right The painter raised his chin with a proud face.

Chen Yizhen looked at them curiously, and he could tell who was the artist of which painting from their expressions.

The artist of the painting on the right took a step forward and respectfully saluted the Empress Dowager, "My daughter thanked the Empress Dowager for her compliment."

The Empress Dowager stared at her with a smile, thought for a while, and asked, "Are you from the Xia family?"

The painter raised his eyebrows, unexpectedly the Empress Dowager still remembered her as a small person, she immediately smiled and replied excitedly: "Hui Niangniang, it is the minister's daughter."

Surname Xia?I just don't know what it has to do with the Queen Mother?Chen Yizhen turned his head to look at the Empress Dowager.

The empress dowager puffed out her chest with a proud face.

It seemed right, it was really the Xia family.
