Chapter 120

Aji never got up so early.

The moment she woke up by Zhao Chen, she really didn't want to get up.

But today I am going to go to the palace to pay homage to the queen, how can I not afford to do it?

The maids in the outside world had already started to be busy, so Aji quickly put on her clothes. Madam Jiang hung Madam Yipin's court clothes on the hanger and waited before going out. After washing her face with her hands and feet, she was mostly sleepy. Aji and Zhao Chen sat on the kang for dinner together, looking at her sleeping daughter over there, and couldn't help feeling distressed.

She knew that it was decent to be able to go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings, and she was not afraid of this little pain, but how old her daughter was, just because the queen heard that the emperor Changsun liked to play with Cancan, they had to bring Cancan into the palace as well. It was cold outside, and she was really afraid that her daughter would suffer from it.

"Don't worry, Cancan's clothes are covered, and they will be wrapped up and carried to the car after a while. There is also a stove in the car. As long as we move slowly, Cancan will not wake up." Zhao Chen comforted in a low voice, and after eating the last small bun, he went out.

After drinking a few sips of porridge, Aji didn't dare to eat too much. He had to stay in the palace for most of the day, and it would be inconvenient if he had something to do.

He put on his clothes for his daughter and gave him the person tightly to Zhao Chen to hug him. The family of three came out of Wangzhuxuan. It was pitch black outside, but there was no wind but it was cold. Aji's face exposed outside suddenly seemed to be frozen. He looked up and saw the stars in the sky.

Thinking that Zhao Chen had almost set out to enter the palace at this time before, Aji couldn't help but sigh that his life was so comfortable, and he felt even more distressed about her husband who was working hard outside.

When he arrived at the door, Zhao Yunting was ready. Zhao Chen watched the maid help his wife into the car, and then he handed his daughter over steadily. Feeling the temperature in the car, Zhao Chen immediately put down the curtain and instructed outside: "Leave Cancan to the wet nurse and hold it. You can continue to sleep for a while, it's still early to get off the car."

Aji lifted a crack in the curtain. Before he could speak, Zhao Chen covered the curtain tightly again and lowered his voice and said, "I'm used to it. I'm not afraid of the cold. You sit firmly, let's set off now."

It blocked her unspoken concern.

The sound of his departure was heard outside. Aji slowly sat down. When the wet nurse was smirking in the dark, she saw her husband lowering her head and laughing. Her face was a little hot, and she reached out to pick up her daughter: "Come it for me, close your eyes and rest for a while." The carriage would sway, no matter how stable the carriage was, she was afraid that her daughter would not be able to find her mother when she woke up.

The carriage started to move, Aji looked down at her daughter, and coupled with the nervousness of entering the palace, she was not sleepy at all.

When she arrived at the palace gate, many carriages had already stopped in front of her, and gradually there were greetings. Aji even heard Ji Zhao greeting her husband. She suddenly felt a little dazed. If she had not married Zhao Chen, she would probably be trembling even if she had the chance to enter the palace. But now, she knew Princess Jing and made friends with many old ladies with imperial decrees. She was as majestic as the palace and seemed not so unattainable.

Of course, she has heard of several times that a noble family was raided and exiled in the past two years. She was in awe of the royal family from the bottom of her heart, but this awe is no longer so confused. She knew that as long as Zhao Yunting and Zhao Chen had nothing to do in the court, she would not have to worry about a disaster coming to her.

The carriage stopped and finally arrived at the palace gate. Zhao Chen came over to pick up his wife and got out of the car, and then led her to Old Lady Ji, "Old Madam, Aji entered the palace for the first time. Please take care of him."

Old Mrs. Ji wrapped in a thick cloak and smiled kindly: "Don't worry, I will take the mother and mother well."

Aji thanked him thanked him with gratitude.

There were not only the two families around. Zhao Chen couldn't be bothered with his wife anymore. He looked at her reluctantly and asked Ji Zhao to go in the other direction.

The palace maid came to lead the way, Aji followed behind Mrs. Ji, and the wet nurse followed closely with Cancan. The lantern was not illuminated much, and her feet were dim. Fortunately, the ground in the palace was very flat, so there was no need to worry about suddenly stepping into the pit.

It was cold and I stood outside for a long time. No matter how thick the cloak was, it could not resist the cold air, let alone the cold air was running upwards under my feet. Aji was in a daze. Even though the sky gradually became brighter, she had no intention of looking at the palace where everyone wanted to enter. While paying attention to the movements of her daughter beside her, she followed the movements of Mrs. Ji and knelt down and bowed.

There are too many foreign women, so the queen will not summon everyone. The palace maids come out to summon them. Those who have been sent to visit them, and the rest can go home.

Aji was the one left. She glanced at him and saw the old lady Li in the Yunyang Marquis' Mansion. She couldn't help but feel much more at ease. After saying goodbye to Mrs. Ji, Aji led her wet nurse over and respectfully paid respect to the old man for a New Year. The Li family also made outstanding achievements in the battle of southern Xinjiang, no wonder the queen wanted to see her.

"Cancan is still asleep?" This is not the first time that Old Lady Li has entered the palace. She is not so restrained. When she walked towards the inner palace of Fengyi Palace, she approached Cancan and glanced at her, and smiled and praised, "Little girl can really sleep well. She is also wronged when she wakes up at this time." The last sentence was very low, and Aji was closest to her, so she didn't hear it very clearly.

If you say such a bit of a nasty word, you believe her. Aji smiled at the old lady knowingly.

When they walked to the inner hall, the few outside women stopped talking, lowered their eyes and followed the palace maids.

As soon as I entered, it was like walking into spring from winter.

This was just outside. The palace maids served everyone to take off the thick cloak outside. Aji personally put her daughter on the couch. She had just untied the thick quilt outside, but she had not yet untied the cloak. The little girl woke up, blinked her big watery eyes, smiled at her mother, and stretched out her little hand to her mother's chest.

Aji was anxious. Her daughter only had two meals of milk every day, and she only ate hers. Even when she only ate milk before the New Year, she refused to eat her wet nurse as long as she was at home. With a glimmer of hope, Aji picked up her daughter and patted her, and walked to the wet nurse to coax her: "Mom wants to go in, Cancan let the wet nurse hug her?"

Cancan looked at the wet nurse and turned his head to arch into his mother's arms.

The palace maid over there has invited someone to come in. Aji couldn't help but look at Old Lady Li. Old Lady Li's face was calm and comforted her, "You take care of the child first, I'll go in and explain it to you, the Empress will not..."

Before she finished speaking, Princess Jing walked out of the inside. As soon as she saw this, she guessed it. She smiled and asked other women to go in first, and then signaled Aji to go to the side hall with her. When she arrived at the place, she touched Cancan's little face and said to Aji: "I knew it would be inconvenient for you to bring Cancan in. Go inside first. I'll ask someone to prepare water and wash Cancan's face later. There is no hurry there. Let's pack it before going."

Aji was gratefully not sure what to say, so she held her daughter and gave a big gift.

When only the mother and daughter were left in the screen, Aji sat on the couch, feeding her daughter while coaxing her softly: "Be good at Cancan, don't be angry when you see someone, and you will laugh when you see anyone, then they will all like Cancan." Such a child doesn't understand any reason, she is really afraid that her daughter will anger the noble person.

Cancan kept sucking his little mouth and looking at his mother with big eyes, he was very well-behaved.

After washing her face, she put on makeup and put on makeup, Aju asked her wet nurse to stay outside. She personally carried her daughter to meet the queen and others with Princess Jing.

At this time, Old Lady Li and the others had already left.

Aji put his daughter on the ground and kowtowed in a regular manner, "My wife pays homage to the Queen, the Queen is thousands of years old."

Cancan stood crampedly beside her mother, holding her back with her little hands, and looking at the person in front of her with big eyes nervously, her eyes soon fell on the little boy on the couch. Brother Fu had been looking at her for a long time, without saying anything or making any moves, but his eyes were very eager.

Cancan ignored him and looked at his mother again, not understanding what her mother was doing.

After worshiping Prince Rui's biological mother, Concubine Xian, Princess Jiarou's biological mother, Concubine Shu, Aji stood up at the queen's instructions, and secretly looked at the nobles when she replied.

The queen is the biological mother of King Jing. It is said that she is only one year younger than the emperor. She is the oldest among the three. I heard that she was suffering from the disease when she gave birth to King Jing. The mother and son both took medicine all year round, and they looked a little haggard. Compared to her, the fair concubine is bright and charming, and the Shu concubine is fresh and lively, and they are all rare beauties.

"This is Cancan, bring it to me and see. Our Brother Fu'er likes playmates, which must be rare." The queen's voice was calm, she looked at her grandson and said to Aju.

"Empress Xie is kind to you. If the daughter of the minister is naughty, please don't blame me." Aji said respectfully, picked up her daughter and walked over. When she arrived at the queen, Aji put down her daughter and squatted down to coax her: "Cancan wishes the queen a New Year?"

Cancan leaned halfway against his mother. Perhaps because it was too strange here, the little girl recognized her life more than when she went to King Jing's Mansion, but she still closed her hands timidly and shook her towards the queen, "Okay, okay..."

Princess Jing sat aside, envious, "My mother, please listen, I didn't lie to you last time, Cancan not only bowed, but also greeted New Years."

The little girl was likable, and the queen smiled, and ordered the palace maid to bring over the ruby ​​pendant that had been prepared long ago, signaled Princess Jing to put it on Cancan, and then said to Aji: "Put the child on the couch and let the two of them play together."

Aji thanked her, coaxed her daughter softly, and wanted to hug her.

"Wait!" The girl in a red dress who had been sitting on the side of Shufei suddenly ran to Aji and asked the queen for instructions: "Mother, Cancan is so cute, can I hug her first?"

It is the emperor's only daughter, Princess Jiarou, who is ten years old this year.

The queen looked at her and her smile remained unchanged: "If you ask Cancan to give it to you, she will hold it to you, and it will be rare and rare. If you don't give it to me, it will be fine." Children all have tempers, but not everyone is willing to give it to me.

Princess Jiarou was very happy. She turned to Cancan, clapped her hands with a smile, and coaxed her expectantly: "Cancan gives me a hug, I'll give you something good too!" She was the youngest in the palace and has only seen Brother Fu'er a child. Unfortunately, Brother Fu'er has a bad temper and doesn't easily touch anyone. She couldn't even miss her. Today, another girl doll was cuteer than Brother Fu'er.

Aji asked her daughter softly, "Cancan let the princess hug?" She tried to send her daughter forward.

Cancan snorted dissatisfiedly, turned his head to hide in his mother's arms, and refused to hug him by a stranger.

Aji couldn't coax it a few times, and apologized awkwardly: "Cancan is ignorant and lets down the princess's kindness..."

Princess Jiarou realized that she was really rejected, and suddenly felt embarrassed. She glanced at her surroundings and her face became redder and redder. Finally, the princess's temper rose and she wanted to grab Cancan. After apologizing, Aji kept staring at her nervously, realizing the ruthlessness in the other party's eyes, and instinctively retreated.

"Jiarou!" the queen shouted, "Don't be presumptuous!"

Princess Jiarou stared at Aju unwillingly.

Aji was extremely panicked and was about to kneel down with her daughter in her arms. Princess Jing stopped her from the side and comforted her softly: "It's Jiarou who doesn't understand the rules, so you don't have to do this." She said that she wanted to take Cancan into her arms. Cancan looked at her and suddenly shrank into her mother's arms. She felt wronged and cried loudly.

As soon as she cried, Brother Fu also started crying.

"Hey, I'm old, and I'll have a headache when they cry. My sister sits slowly, so I'll leave first." Concubine Xian frowned slightly and stood up slowly. Concubine Shu also stood up and pulled her daughter to apologize to the queen: "Jiarou is reckless and does not know the rules. She is the one who is not taught well on weekdays. So I will take her back to admonish her."

After saying that, she left together without waiting for the queen to reply. When she passed by Aji, Princess Jiarou glared at Aji fiercely.
