In the third year of Taikang's reign, the palace was renovated and resplendent.
Miss Jun looked up at the palace in front of her. The road was still very familiar. She passed the Meridian Gate and walked to the right.
There were many people at the gate of the palace. The whole family was accompanied by mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Familiar relatives and friends greeted each other, chatting and laughing. Among them, Miss Jun, who was walking alone without classy makeup, looked particularly eye-catching.
Although there were many people looking over, these ladies maintained their status and did not point fingers.
Miss Jun ignored these people and followed the team inside.
Someone coughed next to me.
Miss Jun looked over and saw Zhu Zan walking over at some point.
Wearing the crown prince's robe, he looked a bit unfamiliar at first glance.
"You can come to see me even though you are a guilty person?" Miss Jun said with a smile.
Zhu Zan laughed twice without saying a word and strode past her. Several young people behind him were laughing and joking and walking past Miss Jun, as if they were just passing by and not talking to each other.
Is this a greeting? He laughed twice and didn't even say "Happy New Year".
Miss Jun smiled.
The excitement here was quickly stopped by the officials on both sides. It became quiet again in front of the palace gate. After crossing the Meridian Gate, men and women also walked in different directions.
"Miss Jun."
Someone greeted.
Miss Jun looked up and saw Mrs. Dingyuanhou waving to her.
Not only Dingyuan Hou’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were acquainted with Miss Jun, there were also two Marquis Madams who greeted her, all of whom had dealt with her, either seen a doctor or received medicine.
As the two families greeted her, word spread about who Miss Jun was. More and more people looked at her, and more people came over, either saying hello or looking at her curiously.
"There are so many people you don't know, are you nervous?" Mrs. Dingyuan Hou smiled at her in a low voice.
Miss Jun smiled and shook her head.
In fact, there weren’t many people I didn’t know, and there wasn’t anything to be nervous about.
Soon, chatting and laughing, they arrived at the Queen Mother's location.
But they couldn't get in yet and were waiting outside the palace. The queen mother and queen were all in the front hall to receive wine from the courtiers, and then they would come back to accept the congratulations from the concubines, then the princesses, and then the ladies inside and outside the palace entered the palace.
Miss Jun looked towards the front where the princesses were.
The old aunts are all gone, and the only ones left are aunts and a few cousins.
Of course there is no sister among them.
Since they were given the title of princess and moved to Prince Huai's Mansion, the sisters have never appeared to attend the imperial congratulations.
Miss Jun lowered her gaze and heard the laughter in front of her.
Their sorrow is only their own and has nothing to do with anyone else's.
Accompanied by the sound of music, women filed into the Queen Mother's Palace according to their rank. Miss Jun naturally stood at the end, looking at the Queen Mother on the throne at the deepest part of the hall, and the Queen beside her.
Because it was too far away, Miss Jun felt that she couldn't see clearly.
Because the Queen had been in Shandong and came to the capital only after King Qi ascended the throne, she had almost no interactions with her, but the Queen Mother was different.
She grew up in front of the Queen Mother.
Queen Mother Liu is fifty-six years old this year and is not her direct grandmother.
The father was born to the late Empress Wu. The prince's life was saved due to a difficult childbirth, but Empress Wu herself did not survive. It was precisely because of this that the prince suffered a fall and was in poor health.
At that time, no one could guarantee that he would be able to support the prince, and the concubines could not avoid him for fear of being implicated. At that time, Mrs. Liu was just Zhaoyi, with a gentle personality and a low profile, but at this time she took the initiative to take care of the prince.
This is not a good opportunity, and it may gain the favor of the emperor, but it is very hard to support the prince, and if he cannot do so well, he will die.
This is too risky.
But Liu Zhaoyi succeeded, the prince was supported, and three years later she gave birth to a prince, and five years later she was named queen.
Many people envied Liu Zhaoyi's good luck, and some people secretly said how cunning Liu Zhaoyi was, but his father said that Queen Liu was really good to him.
When he was a child, he was naughty and didn't want to study. Empress Liu punished him by kneeling down and beating him, which was fine with other children. The prince's health was always in bad condition. How could he dare to be punished so severely? The emperor came to intercede, but Empress Liu didn't allow it. What happened to his father?
After being punished, she no longer dared to be naughty and lazy, and she respected Empress Liu even more.
Only when you sincerely treat the prince as a prince and as your own child can you be so harsh, especially when you already have a son. According to some people's thoughts, they would like the prince to be deposed.
Everyone said that this queen was very strict, but Miss Jun didn't feel that way. She often came to Queen Liu's palace to play when she was a child. Queen Liu even cooked venison for her in person and allowed her to lie on the bed and eat melon seeds. It was not like that.
Her mother and sister always took care of her.
When she left the palace, Queen Liu was very reluctant to leave, but she praised her as a good child. Every time she came back during the New Year, she would stay in Queen Liu's palace for one night and eat her favorite snacks that Queen Liu specially left for her.
.
She didn't think much of it in the palace before, but later she went out with her master more often, and she knew that this kind of relationship was the kind of relationship between ancestors and grandchildren among the people.
She has always regarded her as her biological grandmother.
I don’t know how Empress Liu felt when she learned that her father had died, or if everything was as she wished. Then did she have feelings for her father and her family? She would also have feelings for cats and dogs, let alone humans.
.
Or maybe it's just because we are human beings that people are always more ruthless towards others.
A palace maid brought a wine glass, and Miss Jun took it. Following the MC's singing, she raised the glass and bowed, bowed again, and three times.
The hall was filled with congratulations and drums.
The atmosphere in the Libi Hall became much more joyful and relaxed. First, the princesses came up to the Queen Mother and softly called the Queen Mother for red envelopes. The Queen Mother also smiled and actually took out the red envelopes and gave them to them, attracting the ladies inside and outside.
Just for fun.
Miss Jun stood at the end of the hall, smiling along with the people next to her.
A chamberlain came close to the Queen Mother and whispered a few words into her ear. The Queen Mother seemed to have thought of something and looked into the palace.
The chatter and laughter stopped immediately, and silence returned to the hall.
"Where is Miss Miracle Doctor Jun?" the Queen Mother's voice sounded calmly.
Everyone in the palace suddenly looked around. Miss Jun took a few steps forward and stood in the center with her eyes lowered. She knelt down and kowtowed to the Queen Mother.
"The folk girl is here," she said.
All eyes fell on her.
"No courtesy." The Queen Mother's voice came from a distance, "Come here and let the Ai family take a look."
Miss Jun responded and kowtowed once more before standing up. She lowered her hands slightly and stepped forward. Countless eyes on both sides were focused on her, looking at her hair accessories, her face, and her posture.
state.
The distance from the very entrance of the palace to the Queen Mother's throne was considered too far for many women, both inside and outside the palace. They even felt suffocated just thinking about walking there under the gaze of everyone.
But this fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl walked steadily, and her face not only showed no trace of restraint, but became more and more calm.
She stood a few steps in front of the Queen Mother, acting gracefully and elegantly, as if she had done this many times before.
She raised her head and looked at the Queen Mother, who also looked at her.
The Queen Mother looked even more dignified and solemn in her court dress and heavy makeup.
She hadn't seen the Queen Mother for a long time. Ever since her father passed away and her brother and sister entered Prince Huai's Mansion, the Queen Mother had not seen her even when they got married. It was as if the whole person was suddenly separated from their lives.
Throw something away as soon as you throw it away. It turns out that feelings can also be like this.
Miss Jun lowered her eyes and knelt down to salute.
"Sure enough, he is a miracle doctor." The Queen Mother's voice fell, "I heard that you have very strict rules when it comes to medical treatment. Then take a look at the Ai family. Is there any bad sign?"
This is a bit rude to ask.
If you have great rules, how big can you be? Is it bigger than the emperor's family of the Tian family?
If it's not big, the so-called rules for seeing a doctor are just looking at the dishes. Do you look down on these princes and nobles?
Furthermore, will you provide medical treatment to the Queen Mother?
It is unrealistic to say that the Queen Mother is not sick. After all, older people are somewhat uncomfortable.
But if you are sick, do you really want to tell the Queen Mother that you are in trouble during the Chinese New Year?
The atmosphere in the main hall was a little stagnant and quieter. (To be continued)
