Duke Li Guo led his family's children and ministers and guests to stand outside the west gate. The old lady led the female family members in armor and the female guests to stand outside the gate to greet them. It was quiet for a long time, with the faint sound of drums. After a while, a Facing the young palace maids in palace attire, holding on to the pheasant-feather palace fan, there is also a gold stove burning royal incense, and then a cranked nine-phoenix golden umbrella comes over, which is a crown, robe and shoes, and a eunuch on duty is holding it Wearing scented towels, embroidered handkerchiefs, washbasins, whisks and other items, the pairs passed each other, and behind them was a golden-topped bright yellow embroidered phoenix luan carried by eight eunuchs, walking slowly.

The old lady hurriedly led everyone to kneel down.

"The Queen is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old----"

All the ladies bowed their heads and saluted. Only Mrs. Li was curious about what the queen looked like. Did she have a human head, a phoenix tail, and a pair of wings, as the storyteller said.

Therefore, he secretly raised his eyes and glanced at Feng Yu.

But he saw a very beautiful and noble woman, wearing an eight-treasure phoenix crown and phoenix robe, looking coldly at the ladies on the ground.

As if she was aware of her scrutiny, Queen Mo's sharp eyes glanced at her coldly, which made Li shrink her neck in fright and hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look up again.

"Mom, please wake up quickly, ladies and gentlemen!"

Empress Mo said coolly, a eunuch had already come over and helped the old lady up, as well as several elderly ladies of the imperial court!

"Thank you, Queen!"

Everyone stood up and quietly followed Feng Zhu.

The eunuchs carried Feng Chu into a courtyard to the east of the gate. It was the courtyard where Queen Mo lived when she was a girl. Queen Mo had kept it locked since she entered the palace. There were fixed people to clean it every day. Every time I come back to visit relatives, I always go back to the yard to stay.

After Feng Chu landed, the eunuch knelt down and asked to change his clothes. Empress Mo got off Feng Chu and ordered: "Only mother and sister-in-law are left to talk, while the rest go and sit down at the table!"

So, the old lady and Mrs. Wu entered the courtyard respectfully, and the other ladies, led by the second lady Bai and the eldest grandma Yang, went to the verandah in the garden to sit down.

Entering the main room, Empress Mo wanted to perform family rituals, but the old lady and Mrs. Wu hurriedly knelt down. Empress Mo helped her mother and sister-in-law with her own hands and said: "I finally came out today because I wanted to talk to my mother and sister-in-law." , let’s all stop being polite, otherwise we’ll get awkward and get upset.”

The old lady said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. As the saying goes: etiquette cannot be discarded. Although your Majesty has been released from the ban and Yi'er's marriage has been settled, the days to come will get better day by day. But how many pairs of eyes are left?" Just keep an eye on it, it’s always better to be careful!”

Just as he was talking, the eunuch outside came to report, and the Duke of Guo led his children and ministers to pay homage to the empress and pay her respects.

Empress Mo said: "Let them all step aside. It's time to have a banquet and watch a play. Don't worry about me. I'm at home today. I just wish my mother a birthday. I won't see anyone else."

The eunuch received the order and was about to retreat when Empress Mo suddenly said: "Let Ziqi come to see me, and the rest will retreat!"

"yes!"

The eunuch retreated, and after a moment, Mo Ziqi walked in.

Today he wore a rose-purple round-neck robe with straight skirt, and his dark hair was tied high with a hollow purple jade crown. The festive color contrasted with his cold face, making him even more elegant and elegant. .

The more Empress Mo watched, the happier she became. When she saw Mo Ziqi kneeling down to perform the national ceremony for her, she hurriedly asked Chen Shangxi to help him up and said with a smile: "Time flies, Ziqi has grown so big in a blink of an eye. I remember the last time I came back." , he is still a half-grown child!"
