The good-for-nothing little junior sister is pampered by the best master

The flower viewing banquet in the palace was held as scheduled.

The ladies from various aristocratic families and the women's families of officials all dressed up and went out.

As a merchant girl, Su Xiaoxiao's carriage did not have any official markings. When she approached the palace gate, she was guided to the end of the queue.

Su Xiaoxiao was a little bored sitting in the carriage, so she opened the curtain and looked to the side.

There were many carriages and sedan chairs gathered in front, all waiting for inspection before entering the palace.

Finally it was Su Xiaoxiao's turn. Su Xiaoxiao took out a small plaque that was sent to Su's house yesterday along with the plaque and handed it over.

After the guard saw the small sign, he immediately saluted Su Xiaoxiao respectfully, "It turns out to be the Miss Su family. The palace people have just neglected the noble lady. I will clear the way into the palace for you. You come with me." "

After that, the guard whispered a few words to the eunuchs beside him. After hearing this, the eunuchs glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, and then bowed their heads in a polite manner and began to clear the crowded palace passage.

"What's going on? Isn't it time for us to go in the next wave?"

To enter the palace, they had to take a palace sedan. There were many people lined up in front of Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao was led to the front by the eunuch, which immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of some ladies.

"Please." The eunuch raised a sedan curtain and bowed to ask Su Xiaoxiao to get on the sedan.

"No, it's our turn. This woman looks very unfamiliar. She's coming from behind. Why do you still want to jump in line?"

A woman in a pink dress stood in front of the sedan, preventing Su Xiaoxiao from getting on the sedan.

The eunuch who was leading the way glanced at the woman who was blocking her way and said, "This lady has a jade medal given by the emperor, so there is no need to queue up."

"Oh, I don't know which young lady can have such an honor?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked around and saw a woman in a light blue dress, slightly raising her chin and looking at Su Xiaoxiao arrogantly.

"Please don't embarrass me. I don't dare to lie at the palace gate." The little eunuch said to the girl.

"Then you also want us to know which family the lady is from, right?"

"Su Xiaoxiao of the Su family." Su Xiaoxiao announced her door, then waved away the woman blocking the sedan and sat in the sedan.

Seeing this, the eunuch quickly directed the eunuch carrying the sedan to send Su Xiaoxiao into the palace.

"Su family? Which Su family?"

The ladies and ladies of the official family standing outside shook their heads. Their social circles were all members of the official family.

"By the way, I seem to have heard that a few days ago there was a merchant, also named Su, who received a plaque personally written by the emperor. Is it the Su family?"

Everyone "..."

After being carried into the harem on a sedan chair, Su Xiaoxiao was led by the palace maid to the garden where the flower viewing banquet was held, while her maid was led to wait elsewhere.

There are indeed many flowers in bloom in the garden at this time, but most of the flowers in the garden are planted in flower pots. They must have been moved here from the flower room specially for this flower viewing feast.

The garden is full of flowers, with hundreds of flowers blooming in full bloom.

Su Xiaoxiao admired those beautiful flowers seriously.

At this time, the ladies and ladies had not arrived yet, and the Queen Mother in the palace would not come too early, so Su Xiaoxiao had to wander around by herself.

Fortunately, Xie Zhilan also came to attend the flower viewing banquet. She found Su Xiaoxiao and affectionately took Su Xiaoxiao to introduce the scenery in the back garden.

"Xiao Xiao, look at those pots of flowers that the Queen Mother particularly likes. If it weren't for the wrong flowering season this time, many of the flowers have not bloomed. The Queen Mother is reluctant to take them out for everyone to enjoy. Let's go and have a look."

Xie Zhilan pointed to a few pots of blooming flowers and planned to take Su Xiaoxiao to take a closer look.

Su Xiaoxiao immediately tugged on Xie Zhilan's sleeve. Since she is the Queen Mother's only favorite, it's better not to get too close.

Xie Zhilan nodded immediately and took Su Xiaoxiao to another place.

Finally, the Queen Mother arrived, and everyone gathered in the empty space of the garden to greet her.

Su Xiaoxiao was led by Xie Zhilan to stand in the front row and saluted with Xie Zhilan.

The Queen Mother is wearing a royal blue palace dress, her skin is well maintained, her black hair is almost invisible, and her actual age cannot be seen at all.

Her eyes were full of love, but Su Xiaoxiao knew that was not true.

How kind it would be to be able to climb to the position of Queen Mother among the many women in the harem.

Behind the Queen Mother were the Empress and concubines of all levels. All the gorgeous women were all dressed up to go out, and of course Concubine Su was among them.

Concubine Su nodded gently to Su Xiaoxiao when she passed by him, and then followed the Queen Mother and others into the main seat that had been prepared.

After saluting, all the female family members stood up and followed the Queen Mother and others. Some of them were close to the Queen Mother and others. They also took the initiative to chat with the Queen Mother and the concubines, and kept praising the blooming flowers at the flower viewing banquet held by the Queen Mother. flowers.

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded from time to time to praise the other party for his vision.

The time to enjoy the flowers was very short, mainly because the Queen Mother and the concubines could not stay outdoors for too long. The harsh sunlight could easily ruin the makeup carefully prepared by the female family members.

Soon they were led to the main hall where everyone was being entertained.

When she sat down, Su Xiaoxiao found that her seat was also very forward, almost sitting in the front rows with some older female relatives.

Those female relatives should have titles similar to imperial titles, while the younger women were placed in the back row.

Many people also saw Su Xiaoxiao sitting in front. People who had not experienced Su Xiaoxiao cutting in the queue at the door were all quietly asking about Su Xiaoxiao's situation.

"Who is that? Why can he sit in the same row as the old lady of Zhenguo?"

"I don't know. She still wears her hair in a girl's bun. She must not be the royal wife of some family."

"I heard that she is a young lady from the Su family. It is said that she has a jade medal given by the emperor. But I have never heard that a girl who has not left the palace can sit with the first-grade Madam Gaoming. Is this a mess? Rules and regulations?"

"Be careful! This seating arrangement is not based on the arrangement of the Queen Mother and Her Majesty."

Soon, various dishes, food and drinks were brought out by the palace maids, and the small table in front of Su Xiaoxiao was quickly filled.

Su Xiaoxiao touched a plate with her hand. It was just as she thought. These dishes were all cold. As expected, the dishes at this kind of banquet were all for show.

When all the dishes were served, someone from the palace walked up to the Queen Mother and whispered a few words in her ear. Then a eunuch shouted loudly outside the palace: "The emperor has arrived!"

Everyone in the palace stood up one after another, but the Queen Mother, as the emperor's mother, did not stand up to greet him.

I saw a man wearing a bright yellow robe with intricate embroidery patterns walking into the hall.

The queen, along with all the concubines and the female family members in the palace, all knelt down and saluted the bright yellow figure.

It wasn't until the emperor walked to sit down next to the Queen Mother that the Queen led everyone and stood up amidst the eunuch chief's words of "Ping Shen".
