Xu Wanzhen has always liked elegant colors, and there are very few red dresses. This set still wants to be worn when it snows in winter and when you enjoy the plum blossoms, so it was deliberately written down in the splendid scenery.

This time, Xu Wenmin sent it to Ningfu, and she thought that she would look festive in this suit, and go to see Empress Dowager Xiao, which would also reassure her. asked Zhiyan to measure her waist again and change it to one size smaller.

Xu Wanzhen sat in front of the dressing table, and Qingmai re-pulled the fairy bun for her, and inserted the bead hairpin brought by Zhiyan. Then take off the goose yellow bikina and put on a scarlet dress.

After taking a sip of grease, Xu Wanzhen turned around, and the second young lady of the Zhongguo Mansion appeared in front of everyone again. She walked around, but this did not affect her bearing at all, and the graceful and luxurious peony flowers on the hem of her dress made her noble and elegant.

Mama Ding looked excited, and said again and again: "Okay, good! The young lady thought carefully, and the Queen Mother must be very happy to see it." ”

Wen Mulan watched this scene with tears in her eyes. Picking up the goose yellow bicar on the side and putting it on, Qingmai helped her comb her double bun, and she will follow Mr. Ning out of the palace together.

Mama Ding took Xu Wanzhen and walked straight towards Empress Dowager Xiao's bedroom.

During the period when Wen Mulan pretended to be Xu Wanzhen, in order to prevent being exposed, she lived in a simple house. Only in the evening, when there are few people, will Xu Wanzhen serve the Empress Dowager Xiao to fulfill her filial piety.

The second young lady of the Zhongguo Mansion appeared with great fanfare at this hour, which is still something that has never happened.

The palace people and chamberlains who met on the road bowed down to avoid it.

When she came to the dormitory, Mama Ding lightened her steps, walked to the bed of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and called softly: "Niangniang, look, who is coming?"

Empress Dowager Xiao was already afraid of cold, because of the weather, she felt a little unwell after the winter, and this time she was seriously ill.

Fortunately, Su Liangzhi brought back the medicinal materials to treat her convulsions, and carefully conditioned it, so that her body slowly improved.

It's just that she doesn't have much energy, and most of her time she lies on the bed and closes her eyes to recuperate.

Hearing Mama Ding call her, she opened a slit in her eyes and asked, "Who?

Mama Ding said in a low voice: "It's the second young lady of the Zhongguo Mansion who is here." ”

"Really?" Empress Dowager Xiao opened her eyes wide and said, "Quick, help me up." ”

Xu Wanzhen saw that her face was full of sickness and her face was yellow, so she hurriedly walked a few steps and helped Empress Dowager Xiao sit up. "Mother, it's Zhen'er back. ”

Mama Ding stuffed a large gold pillow behind her back to make Empress Dowager Xiao sit more comfortably.

She grabbed Xu Wanzhen's hand tightly, her hands trembled slightly, and she looked at Xu Wanzhen and said, "When I see you, I'm relieved." ”

God knows how much she cares about this strong and resilient woman.

Seeing the two of them talking, Mama Ding waved her hand to let the other palace people retreat, leaving her to wait in the house.

"It's really bad, which makes Niangniang worried. Xu Wanzhen held Empress Dowager Xiao's hand, only to feel that her fingers were cold and her palms were cold in sweat.

She couldn't help but be secretly frightened, it had only been two months since she last entered the palace. At that time, although Empress Dowager Xiao was old, she did not look so old.

"Zhen'er," Empress Dowager Xiao looked at her carefully and asked, "How did you come here these days?"

"The thieves have a plan to captivate the courtiers, and they have not done me any wrong. Seeing the Queen Mother so weak, remembering her care for herself, Xu Wanzhen's eyes shone with water.

But for fear of worrying the Empress Dowager Xiao, she forced out a smile and said, "Don't worry, Niangniang, Zhen'er has not suffered." It's just that I'm so happy to see the Queen Mother again!"

Seeing that she said it so lightly, Empress Dowager Xiao knew that she was trying to reassure herself, so she stopped asking. Only holding her hand, shushing the cold and asking for warmth.

"Niangniang, just let me serve you in the palace for a few more days, okay?" Xu Wanzhen raised her head and asked, only by doing this could she make the guilt in her heart a little less.

"Your filial piety is known. I don't know if I saw Xu Wanzhen, Empress Dowager Xiao's face was a little more festive, and she looked better.

"There are many things waiting for you in your house. Empress Dowager Xiao said: "When you finish dealing with it, you will enter the palace to accompany the mourning family." ”

When Xu Wanzhen was taken away, the incident happened suddenly, and many things did not have time to deal with the aftermath. If she can handle it, Mama Zheng has helped her take care of it.

However, there are some things that have to be done by herself. For example, the Duchess of Zhongguo, Chen, suffered a stroke and was paralyzed, but she, the daughter-in-law, has been in the palace and has never even shown her face.

Besides, the second aunt of the Xu family was diagnosed as pregnant, and she only didn't arrive.

These signs, one or two, are not to be worried. But after accumulating, it is inevitable that there will be those people who do good things, speculate out of thin air, and make up a lot of unrelated rumors.

One of the most vicious versions says that Xu Wanzhen entered the palace to accompany the Queen Mother is false, and accompanying the Emperor is true. The vicious speculation in it makes people wonder who hates her so much.

Although Empress Dowager Xiao is in charge, how can the people's mouths be blocked? The more they are not allowed to say it, the more outrageous it will spread.

The poisoning of Emperor Qinglong was known only to the important ministers of the court. These bold people in Luoyang City only knew that the emperor had not been in the early dynasty for a long time, and then contacted Xu Wanzhen to enter the palace at about the same time, so they began to speculate boldly.

The war in the north is tight, and the only entertainment left for these people is these gossip and gossip.

Although Empress Dowager Xiao is sick, she also knows some general things. Therefore, he urged Xu Wanzhen to return home.

Xu Wanzhen still wanted to insist, but Empress Dowager Xiao shook her hand and said, "Go back quickly." If you are good, you can rest assured that your mourning family will be relieved. ”

Xu Wanzhen nodded and said, "Okay, Zhen'er, I'll go back first." The next time you enter the palace, don't dislike Zhen'er anymore. ”

A weak smile appeared on Empress Dowager Xiao's face, and she said, "This is the obedient girl." ”

Mama Ding leaned over and said, "It's time to set the meal, do you want to leave Mrs. Xu after eating?"

"Niangniang, you let Zhen'er serve you dinner. Xu Wanzhen pleaded.

Seeing her filial piety, Empress Dowager Xiao responded. Mama Ding waved her hand and asked the palace people to put the food on the side of the bed, and Xu Wanzhen took the bowl and spoon and fed it to the Empress Dowager Xiao spoonful by spoon.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Xiao used a bowl of rice and a small half bowl of vegetables, Mama Ding couldn't help but wipe her tears secretly.

Since she got sick, she hasn't had such a good appetite for a long time. Fortunately, Mrs. Xu returned safe and sound.

Waiting for the Empress Dowager Xiao to lie down, Xu Wanzhen said: "The Empress Dowager must take care of her body." Your love for Zhen'er has not yet been repaid. ”

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled at the corner of her mouth and said, "Okay, in order for you to repay, I must also raise it." ”

She had the strength to laugh and relax, relieving the atmosphere in the hall.

Xu Wanzhen took out the pair of warm sleeves made for Empress Dowager Xiao on the boat, and said, "This is a little bit of Zhen'er's heart." I know that my mother's body is cold, and I can warm your hands in winter. I hope you don't dislike it. ”

This pair of warm sleeves is made of silver-purple brocade fabric, and the double phoenix pattern is carefully embroidered. The stitches are fine, and the phoenix eyes are embroidered vividly, obviously with so much care.

The Queen Mother liked it when she saw it, and reached out to take it and try it. The sable fur inside was warm and cozy, just enough to wrap her hand in it.

"Those people are jealous that I like Zhen'er. The Queen Mother smiled and said to Mama Ding: "Look, that's because Zhen'er really cares for me." ”

When I got out of the dormitory, I saw that Mr. Ning was still waiting outside. Xu Wanzhen thanked her first, and then left the palace with Mr. Ning. In front of the palace gate, the two exchanged cherishes and went back to their homes.
