Lu Zhi stepped forward and saluted her: "I've seen a high-ranking female official." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The senior female official got up, personally helped her up, looked her up and down carefully, and said with a smile: "Miss Lu doesn't have to be polite, the queen is very happy to hear that you are back, you have been in Jiangnan all these years, and the mother has not asked you about your current situation, no, you just came back yesterday, and she ordered me to invite you into the palace." ”

When Lu Zhi heard this, she hurriedly blessed her body again: "Zhi'er thanked her mother for her love." ”

"What a courtesy. The senior female official's voice was a little disgusted: "Niangniang has always loved you as her own daughter, this time I called you into the palace, it is nothing more than I miss you too much, if you see her you are still so polite, it will be outside, and then Niangniang will be sad." ”

She stayed in Jiangnan for seven years, Mo said that she had nothing to do with the queen mother over the years, that is, when she never left Beijing, she had never met the queen mother, where did she start with her daughter-like love?

Lu Zhi lowered her eyes slightly: "Thank you for the reminder, Zhi'er is awake." ”

"It's good to wake up. The senior female officer smiled and said: "You have been a very intelligent person since you were a child, and many things can be understood without mentioning a little, and you and I will definitely get along with each other from time to time in the future, and it is better to call your aunt to be kind." ”

When Lu Zhi heard this, she raised her eyes to look at the senior female official with some surprise, looked at the smile in her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and still responded from the blessing of kindness: "Zhi'er has seen my aunt." ”

This time, the senior female official did not say that she was polite, nor did she help her up, smiled and watched her finish this salute, and after she got up, she smiled and said: "Okay, the hour is not early, don't let the mother wait." ”

Lu Zhi answered, and walked out with her surrounded by a group of palace people, and Mrs. Wu said with worry behind her: "Zhi'er." ”

She turned around and smiled at Mrs. Wu: "The queen has always loved her daughter, and it stands to reason that Zhi'er should ask her mother for peace, and after her daughter comes back, she will tell her mother interesting stories about Jiangnan." ”

Mrs. Wu was very worried, but she couldn't sit down except worrying, looking at Lu Zhi's smiling face, she could only reluctantly smile back: "Okay, my mother is waiting for you at home." ”

Lu Zhi nodded at her, gave her a reassuring look, and then turned around and went out.

Lu Zhi and the senior female official were driving on the street in a sedan chair, although they had not opened the sedan curtain, but just listening to this voice, they knew that the street must be crowded with people at this moment, and from time to time the sound of the Praetorian Guards scolding the crowd to retreat.

These people all heard that Duan Chen had returned to the dynasty today, and spontaneously came to the streets to welcome him.

It is no wonder that his defeat of the Xiongnu this time not only made the Xiongnu unable to invade the border again within a few years, but also boosted the morale of the Qi generals and calmed the hearts of the people.

Even he himself, in his letter, mentioned the defeat of the Huns with a slight smile, completely forgetting the previous letters full of chagrin.

She knew how difficult it was to win this time, he could have returned to the court after defeating the Huns, but he had to fight the Huns and no longer had the power to fight back.

He said that if it weren't for this, he wouldn't be able to deal with the affairs after returning to Beijing with peace of mind, nor would he be able to plan for their future wholeheartedly, and most importantly, he would be sorry for the 100,000 soldiers who died!

How tragic it is that less than 100,000 of the 200,000 troops have returned......

"What are you thinking?"

Lu Zhi came back to her senses, met the gaze of the senior female official, and replied softly: "If you go back to your aunt, you didn't think about anything, but you were just going to meet Niangniang, and I was a little nervous." ”

The senior female official smiled lightly when she heard this: "If you change to someone else, I will believe this, but I won't believe you when you say this." ”

Although she said it with a smile, she can say it very seriously, and she has been able to become a first-class female official for so many years, and the high-ranking female official is definitely not a person.

It is obviously not a wise move to lie to such a person, so Lu Zhi was dumbfounded.

The senior female official lowered her head when she saw her, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Niangniang only loves you, and I wanted to see you back then, but it's a pity that you slipped away too fast." Now that she is back, Niangniang is a little impatient. ”

The sentence slipped too fast, revealing her state of mind back then, and Lu Zhi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "Thank you for your love." ”

The senior female official smiled: "It's not just the mother who loves you, now that the prince of the world is back to the dynasty, and all the civil and military officials are in the Taihe Hall to greet him, and the prince is naturally there, you can rest assured." ”

Lu Zhi was stunned when she heard this, and glanced at the senior female official in some surprise, and the senior female official looked at her with a smile and said, "What? Am I not right? If it wasn't for the purpose of avoiding His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back then, why did you go to Jiangnan and go for so long?"

She mentioned the incident again, and Lu Zhi was a little complicated: "Actually, it's not to avoid His Highness. His Royal Highness seems to be domineering, but in fact he is pure and kind-hearted......"

"Pure hearted?" The senior female official smiled even more when she heard this: "You are talking about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back then, and His Royal Highness today will never use the word pure kindness." ”

Lu Zhi looked at her with some doubts, but the senior female official turned her eyes to look away, obviously unwilling to say more.

After a while, the carriage stopped, and Lu Zhi followed the high-ranking female official into the palace gate, and walked through the imperial garden to the front of Kunning Palace.

Qiu'er was stopped outside the Kunning Palace by the palace people, although she had a calm temperament, but after all, it was the first time to enter the palace, and she was inevitably a little apprehensive, and after being stopped, she shouted in a little panic: "Miss!"

Lu Zhi turned around, looked at the palace people who stopped her, and said to Qiu'er: "It's okay, you are waiting for me here, don't move around at will, if a noble person comes, don't be rude." ”

Although her words were ordinary, Qiu'er's somewhat flustered heart calmed down and saluted her: "Qiu'er wrote it down." ”

Seeing that she was calm, Lu Zhi hummed, and then turned around and left with the senior female officer.

The senior female official led her towards the palace, and said with a smile: "Your maid is also a steady person, but she has never seen any scenes, if you take her around more, you will be a helper in the future." ”

These words were obviously mentioning her, and Lu Zhi blessed her body slightly: "Aunt Xie." ”

When he arrived at the palace gate, the palace people saw the high-ranking female official and Lu Zhi, and immediately saluted and said: "The mother has been waiting in the palace for a long time, and the aunt and the girl will go." ”

The senior female official answered and led Lu Zhi into the hall.

In the main hall, Empress Xiao was sitting lazily on the high seat, closing her eyes and pretending to sleep, and the palace maid behind her was kneading her shoulder blades, and she noticed that someone had entered the hall, and Empress Xiao slowly opened her eyes.

Before the high-ranking female official and Lu Zhi could salute, Empress Xiao smiled and said, "This is Zhi'er, right? ”

After entering the hall, Lu Zhi did not squint, and when she heard this, she raised her eyes and looked at the high seat, just a glance, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she was worthy of being the mother of the country, and that grace and luxury were no longer words that could describe it.
