Chapter 228: The Audience
As soon as you enter the flower hall, you don't need to look up, there is already a strong sense of oppression!
Shen Moyun just lowered his head as much as possible, quietly glanced at the main seat in front of him, and quickly knelt down and saluted.
"The people's daughter Shen Moyun has seen the Queen Mother, the mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
With just one glance, Shen Moyun saw clearly the woman on the main seat in front of him, about fifty years old, a set of heavy red gold Dongzhu head and face lined her with extraordinary luxury, her slender eyes were shrewd, and her thin lips were a little mean, and she was hitting herself with an extremely critical and disgusted gaze at this time. Who else is there in such a costume and such an aura except to be the queen mother?
A gentle cough interrupted the depression and dullness in front of him, and Shen Moyun quietly glanced at it at this moment, and noticed that there was a dignified and elegant woman sitting under the queen mother. The woman was also richly dressed, but her color was slightly low-key, and her face was pale, but a peony golden phoenix gem on her head caught Shen Moyun's attention.
At the age of about thirty, it is a peony and a phoenix, who else in this palace dares to wear it?
"The people's girl Shen Moyun has seen the queen mother, the mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
The queen's voice was very good, soft and glutinous, and at this time she actually spoke: "This child is really clever and understanding! The first time he entered the palace, no one pointed him out, but the rules are good!
Saying this, the Queen Mother was silent, and she didn't seem to want to accept the queen's words. In this cold scene, the queen actually coughed again.
"You kid, you don't have to come here if you're not feeling well! Why don't you come every day to say goodbye! Go back quickly!"
The queen smiled wryly, but did not immediately reply.
Shen Moyun secretly looked over, only to see that the queen also raised her eyes to look at herself. But I saw that there was obviously a trace of kindness and inquiry in her eyes. Shen Moyun had a strange feeling, it seemed that this queen had been helping her?
Shen Moyun wondered in his heart, why did such a noble woman in the world want to show favor to herself, a powerless little woman? Could it be that this queen is kind by nature? However, I heard that the current emperor has great respect for this wife, and she has to stay in the queen's Kunning Palace for at least eight to ten days in a month, which is already an extremely valuable favor for an emperor who pays attention to the evenness of rain and dew. Furthermore. This queen is also the niece of the Queen Mother, no wonder she can be so favored in front of the Queen Mother. It's a pity that the face is thin. But I heard that she has been in poor health since she gave birth to the eldest prince, and she has been riddled with diseases all year round.
"The concubine is not tired. Sit here and drink a bowl of tea before leaving!" The queen smiled affectionately. But it attracted a roll of the eyes of Concubine Li and a cold snort.
It seems that this concubine is very arrogant, and she doesn't even take the queen seriously.
"Whatever you want, you can do it yourself! Don't be embarrassed to say it when you're tired, go back directly!" The queen mother bowed over and patted the queen's palm very dotingly, and then turned her gaze to Shen Moyun who was kneeling on the ground. Then, her face turned cold, and she turned her head and asked Concubine Na Li: "Didn't you say that there is still a maid? Why is she the only one?"
Concubine Na Li exclaimed with a look of injustice: "Queen Mother, you don't know. Just now in the palace of the concubine, the maid of the Guo Mansion heard that the mother was going to summon her. Probably knowing that he had committed the heinous crime, he fainted with a fright, and the concubine couldn't, so she could only ask someone to carry the maid outside, waiting for you to fall!"
When the Queen Mother heard this, she hinted that the female officer next to her went to check, and after a while, the female official came in and whispered a few words in her ear.
At this time, the queen coughed again, this time it seemed to be more severe than before, and she coughed a little out of breath.
finally calmed down a little, but the queen looked at Concubine Na Li with a tangled face and said, "Good sister, what kind of incense did you apply today?
Does this queen mean that the incense of this concubine is so strong that it makes her cough?
Concubine Na Li was stunned at first, and then snorted softly: "The queen mother is really delicate and expensive, it's just an ordinary potpourri! Why make such a fuss? Why haven't you heard that the mother can't smell the fragrance before?"
Yesterday, Xue Yuanshou prescribed a new medicine to the palace, and instructed the palace not to smell the fragrance of flowers and plants in the recent period. ”
"No wonder! No wonder Concubine Li came, the queen coughed, it turned out that there was this reason inside!" The queen mother looked at her niece with pity, and finally said to Concubine Li: "Since the queen can't get used to smelling your body, you should retreat first!"
"Queen Mother!" Concubine Na Li was about to show her tongue against the Guo family, where was she willing to stop at this moment?
"Let's go down!" the Queen Mother waved her hand, not looking at her again.
Concubine Na Li didn't understand that this must have been when she had just sent someone to tell the Queen Mother about the plum bottle, and the queen happened to be there. As a result, his intentions were exposed to the queen. This queen took the opportunity to take herself away at this time, and she must have wanted to interrogate this matter herself! Concubine Li was remorseful in her heart, blaming her for just hearing that she had the opportunity to take down the Guo family, so she was excited for a moment and didn't see the opportunity clearly. At this moment, I am being taken away, but I am afraid that this variable will be big.
Concubine Li could only walk in front of Shen Moyun and forced out a miserable smile: "Miss Shen is here to talk well! This palace will personally send you out of the palace later, don't be afraid, Miss Shen only needs to explain the truth, the Queen Mother and the Queen are both bodhisattvas, and they will definitely not embarrass you!"
Shen Moyun still nodded respectfully and said yes.
Concubine Li took a deep breath, and then slowly saluted and stomped out the door.
"Shen Moyun! You know what the mourning family is going to ask! Tell me about it yourself!" The Queen Mother's voice was not loud, but it was full of deterrence, and the powerful and cold aura that had been in a high position all the year round suddenly attacked.
Shen Moyun's back was cold, and she could feel that the Queen Mother's gaze looking at her was extremely cold, as if she was extremely disliked, and even had a deep disgust and hatred inside.
"Back to the Queen Mother, today Shen Moyun personally smashed the 60th birthday gift that Concubine Li was preparing to give to the Queen Mother. Shen Moyun made a heinous mistake and came to ask the Queen Mother for his guilt!"
"Oh?" Didn't you say that the maid of the Guo family was the mastermind, and this Shen Moyun was accidentally pushed to break the plum bottle?
The dangerous light in the Queen Mother's eyes flashed, and she couldn't help sneering in an instant: "Shen Moyun! Hehe! You are really amazing! Just like your self-righteous mother! Your courage is really not small! Do you want to mourn your family like this?"
