Chapter 21:

Tang Lihua got up before the time of this day, freshened up, dressed in the official uniform of the fourth-rank maiden, the gray silver thread meticulously swelled, and put on the official hat, as if it were a different person, as gentle as usual The old ladies are different, but they are like the old ladies of the official family.
Wang Cuilian also got up early, accompanied him, and got on the carriage again. The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace. After the guard at the gate of the palace confirmed the identity of Tang Lihua, he let it go.
It was stipulated that Mrs. 4 was only allowed to bring a serving woman into the palace, so Tang Lihua brought the old man who taught her the rules, while Wang Cuilian was waiting in the carriage outside the palace.
Tang Lihua entered the palace wall and waited outside the hall under the guidance of the small yellow gate. The civil and military officials in the hall greeted the emperor, and the one-day meeting officially began.
Without the emperor's summons, Tang Lihua could only wait. After standing for about half an hour, a bright and sharp voice came from the hall, "Xuan Tang's audience."
Then he walked out of the hall and walked out a small eunuch. Under the guidance of the eunuch, Tang Lihua stepped unhurriedly, with a dignified manner, slightly bowed her head, her eyes only staring at the jade medal in her hand.
"The minister's wife kowtowed to the emperor, long live the emperor long live long live long live long live the emperor." Tang Lihua knelt down, bowed her hands on the ground, and bowed down, without a trace of etiquette.
"Aiqing avoids courtesy." There was a majestic but kindly sound voice above his head. It was Emperor Jingren, the current emperor.
Tang Lihua paid a salute again before she got up, "Thank you Lord Longen."
"You are Tang Lihua in Yihe County. I admire what I heard about you. If there are more people in the world who think about the people like fellow villagers, I can save a lot of worry." Emperor Jingren said. It was an admiration for Tang Lihua, and I sighed at the end.
Tang Lihua is still bowing her head, doting humiliation, "The emperor's sacred heart, the people know that the saint loves the people like children, and the ministers are savage women. They can't be the imperial examination examiners. They can only do their best. I believe many people and ministers The same idea."
When Emperor Jingren heard this, he was relieved by the Sacred Heart, and he laughed, "Okay, okay, I really didn't misunderstand the person, and even the mother and queen praised the righteousness of the fellow."
Tang Lihua still looked calm, but it made Emperor Jingren look up at her a bit.
It's just that Emperor Jingren declared that Tang Lihua Noodle Sage was only on a whim, and after a lot of praise, he made people retreat. So far, Tang Lihua's trip to the noodle sage is completely over.
Tang Lihua had just left the hall, so the old man came over and bowed to her and said, "My fellow villager, the empress mother, please come over."
Knowing this in advance, Tang Lihua followed Lao Ma, but she thought of the purpose of the queen mother to summon her. Tang Lihua is not so naive. The queen mother will always put her in her eyes. I have to summon myself.
There must be some reason for this, but Tang Lihua couldn't think of any clues for a while, the only person who could tell her before the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother, was the three princes and Princess Pingyang.
To say that the three princes and Princess Pingyang were indeed unhappy in front of Lian'er yesterday, but because of this trivial matter, the queen mother was summoned by the alarm, Tang Lihua also did not believe it.
Thinking of the end, Tang Lihua didn't even think about it. What was the cause, I knew it at first sight.
This palace is surprisingly big, and Tang Lihua is not qualified to sit in a sedan chair, so she can only walk. Fortunately, Tang Lihua is in good health. She usually walks and exercises more. Otherwise, after the toss of this morning, her body will be long Can't bear it.
Tang Lihua didn't know how long he walked before stopping in front of a palace, and looking up, the three words Ci Ning Palace on the tall plaque suddenly appeared on it.
The old man walked in front, and all the maidservants he met along the way stopped giving her salute, "Good aunt."
Tang Lihua's heart moved. It seemed that this old man was originally from Ci Ning Palace. As for why she was sent to teach herself the rules, it seemed to be the handwriting of the Queen Mother, Tang Lihua was even more curious.
"Lord of the village, wait a minute, the old slave went in and made a report." He stopped in front of a room, and the old man dropped his words and opened the curtain and walked in.
But after waiting for a while, the old man came out with a smile on his face, "The fellow, please come in."
Tang Lihua walked in, and the queen dowager was the one who was about the same age as her. The queen dowager has been in a high position for many years, and she is naturally not comparable to ordinary people.
"Surrender, please peace with the Queen Mother." Tang Lihua saluted again. This was what made Tang Lihua unhappy in ancient times. When she met someone with a higher status than herself, she had to bow and bow, which was really annoying.
Tang Lihua also complained in her heart, but she was still respectful.
The queen mother carefully looked at Tang Lihua again, then opened a kind smile, waved, "please ask the fellow to sit down."
Such an attitude made Tang Lihua feel relieved, at least it was not a bad thing.
Like ordinary people, the queen mother chatted with Tang Lihua, but she mentioned her granddaughter from time to time in her words. Tang Lihua had only two granddaughters, and it was naturally not Wang Cuilian that the queen mother wanted to ask.
Tang Lihua knew in her heart, it seemed that the role of the male lead made Wang Cuiyao into the eyes of the queen mother.
You must know that the male protagonist has been raised under the knees of the queen dowager since he was a child, and the queen dowager also loves him the most.
"The Queen Mother doesn't know anything. My second granddaughter was brought to the capital by his parents a few years ago, and only met yesterday." Tang Lihua sighed with a full face.
The queen mother naturally investigated these things a long time ago, and it is not surprising to hear her say that, "Then now in the capital, we should have more contacts and kindness."
Don't have any meaning in this. Tang Lihua just didn't hear it, and nodded repeatedly, "It should be so."
"Queen dowager, it's time to rest." At this moment, the old man who was waiting next to the queen mother reminded me.
The queen mother frowned, seemingly displeased, but she didn't refute, "When you get old, you feel more."
Tang Lihua got up, knowing the color, "It was the minister's wife who disturbed the queen mother, so she retreated."
"Fine, you should go out of the palace." The queen mother waved her hand, and then remembered something, and said to Tang Lihua, "In the future, there will be a flower viewing banquet at the Princess Palace. There will be a female family in Beijing going there. Bring both granddaughters with you, so you can see a lot."
"The granddaughters are also old, it's time to find someone." The last sentence was joking, Tang Lihua replied, and left the house.
After she left, the queen mother closed the smile on her face and crossed the prayer beads in her hands, "What do you think of this person?"
The one who served her chuckled softly, "The slave and maid looked at the advance and retreat, not like a country ignorant, you are not timid at all when you see the queen mother, but you have a good temperament."
The queen mother looked at her and laughed, "You, you, if you haven't left a step today, the Aijia really thinks you have received much benefit from others."
I have been serving the queen dowager for a long time, of course, I know her temper, "the queen dowager usually rewards, the old slave will not be able to use it in this life, the queen mother should not tease the old slave."
Tang Lihua didn't know the conversation between the master and servant here, but she finally left the palace gate.
Outside the palace gate, the woman who was serving Tang Lihua saw her sharply, and hurriedly came over to help the people into the carriage.
Tang Lihua looked at the empty carriage, "Where is Lian'er?"
"The lady was bored in the car, so she went out for a walk, saying that it's the old lady, if you come out, you will go back to the house first." The woman replied.
Tang Lihua nodded, did not say much, closed her eyes and calmed down.
In the afternoon, Wang Cuilian came back angrily, sulking for a while, and when Tang Lihua woke up, she asked about the palace, and her eyes lit up when she heard Tang Lihua's description of the palace wall scene.
Tang Lihua leaned on the Grand Master’s chair, flipping through Cuiyuxuan’s account books for the first half of the year, and asked casually,
Where did you go for a stroll today?

Speaking of this, Wang Cuilian's small face bulged, "The granddaughter wanted to see how the teahouse in Beijing is different from ours in Yihe County, but she met a dude, which is really annoying."
"But it's okay. He grabbed my place, and I didn't let him feel better." Wang Cuilian raised her eyebrows triumphantly, thinking of something funny.
Tang Lihua looked at her amused, and lightly patted her head on the account book in her hand, "Children's mind, look at this account book, and tell me what's wrong after reading it."
Wang Cuilian spit out her tongue. She was used to this way. She took over the account book, flipped through it, and saw the Cuiyuxuan on the first page. She just remembered that grandma did tell her that there is such a store, but I have never seen it before.
Not only in the capital, but also in other wealthy places, Tang Lihua also opened such a Cuiyuxuan. At first, it had no power and no power and encountered a lot of troubles. However, Cuiyuxuan was different from other businesses. It sold patterns and ideas.
"Grandma, I haven't visited Cuiyuxuan yet, let's go and see it tomorrow." Wang Cuilian was a little excited, and the girls naturally had a good impression of these things.
Tang Lihua nodded. Now she is also a fourth-rank countryman. Although she has no real power, she is also a knight, and there is no need to hide it.
"Alright, call Cui Yao to make two new clothes together tomorrow, and go to the Princess Palace for a flower banquet with me in the future."
Before Wang Cuilian could ask, Tang Lihua said about her in the Queen's Palace. Although Wang Cuilian had doubts, but her grandma said so, she did not ask anything, and nodded.
Next, Tang Lihua closed her eyes and rested her mind, while Wang Cuilian was reading the account books, and the years were peaceful.
In the evening, Tang Lihua sent someone to Wang Jiafu's mansion to hand over a message, so that Wang Cuiyao would be with him tomorrow, and the news came over there soon.
After having breakfast the next day, I got into the carriage and went straight to the palace. Wang Cuiyao had been waiting long ago. Of course, she was not the only one. Chen followed, Tang Lihua said nothing.
The group divided into two carriages and stopped at the entrance of Cuiyuxuan.
The Chens didn't know in advance that they came to this place today. They were a little surprised and embarrassed. They couldn't buy something when they came here.
"Mother, it's better to go and see elsewhere." Chen said tentatively.
Tang Lihua walked in directly, "Look at it first before talking."
Chen had to keep up, only praying that he would not lose face.
