Chapter 280: Entering the Palace

Zhao Qingzao originally planned to take Xiaocao out to play, so when she heard Shen Changting say this, she didn't say anything, just nodded, and asked Xiaoyu to bring the dinner. br>

A few days later, it will be Xiaocao's fifth birthday, and the banquet is all organized by Shen Kaiyuan, so Zhao Qingzao and Shen Changting only need to appear at the banquet with Xiaocao, there is no place for them to interfere, and it just so happens that Zhao Qingzao is too lazy to take care of these things, so on the day of the banquet, Zhao Qingzao took Xiaocao's hand and appeared in front of all the guests with Shen Changting.

Shen Kaiyuan invited a lot of dignitaries, so Zhao Qingzao saw a lot of familiar faces, and even Han Guang and Gu Xiaolian came to the banquet.

"Qing Zao, the Seventh Prince and the Seventh Princess are also here. At this moment, Shen Changting suddenly reminded in a whisper.

Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao raised his head, and sure enough, he saw the Seventh Prince and the Seventh Princess, thinking that after something like that happened, the Seventh Prince and the Seventh Princess would not appear together, let alone have any dealings with the Prime Minister's Mansion, but they didn't expect them to join hands to attend Xiaocao's birthday banquet today, what the hell is going on, don't the Seventh Prince and the Seventh Princess care at all?

Seeing the Seventh Princess coming towards him, Zhao Qingzao knew that the Seventh Princess had something to say to him, so Shen Changting took care of Xiaocao, and then slowly walked to the corner.

"Miss Qingzao is really a smart person, how do you know that I have something to say to you?" The Seventh Princess really followed, and said to Zhao Qingzao with a smile.

"Seventh princess, I still have this bit of eyesight, otherwise I would have been killed by Chi Fenglai a long time ago. Zhao Qingzao also replied with a smile.

Although he was very curious about how the Seventh Princess would appear at the banquet with the Seventh Prince, Zhao Qingzao knew that the Seventh Princess was noble and was not someone who could be offended casually, so he hesitated for a while, then didn't say anything, and planned to wait for the Seventh Princess to speak herself.

"Miss Qingzao, you must feel very strange when you see me and the prince appearing at the banquet, right?" Sure enough, the seventh princess immediately asked Zhao Qingzao.

Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao just smiled lightly, but didn't say anything, while the Seventh Princess continued to take care of herself: "My relationship with the prince has eased a lot, and with our identity, sooner or later we have to reconcile as before, otherwise wouldn't it make everyone see a joke?"

"Seventh Princess, what you want to tell me, shouldn't it be these things?" Zhao Qingzao said immediately.

"The green jujube girl really understands me, that's right, what I want to say is really not those words, the emperor has been very fond of a concubine recently, almost every night to let the concubine sleep, the queen mother is upset because of this matter, yesterday I also let me enter the palace, told me the pain in my heart, you also know that the queen mother is my sister, if I can help her, I will also be very happy." The Seventh Princess said directly.

I didn't expect it to involve the queen mother, this is what Zhao Qingzao is most worried about, just the seventh princess makes her feel very embarrassed, not to mention the queen mother who has the power to kill, in case she has a bad idea, the queen mother will definitely be angry with her at that time, and the seventh princess will definitely not protect her in order to protect herself, thinking like this, Zhao Qingzao secretly rolled her eyes, thinking about how she should refuse the seventh princess.

"Miss Qingzao, do you have any good ideas?" Seeing that Zhao Qingzao didn't speak, the Seventh Princess hurriedly asked.

Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao knew that the Seventh Princess must be impatient, so she couldn't pretend to be stupid anymore, so she could only bite the bullet and said, "Seventh Princess, I can't think of any good ideas, after all, things in the palace are ...... I don't understand either. ”

Zhao Qingzao looked embarrassed, but the Seventh Princess seemed to have not seen it, and said directly: "Miss Qingzao, you helped me solve Chi Fenglai, I believe you must have a way, so I will enter the palace tomorrow to see the queen, and the queen will definitely send someone to take you into the palace at that time, you just need to wait in the prime minister's mansion." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Qingzao was stunned, and took her into the palace? Just thinking that he had to face the queen's mother and help her come up with ideas to deal with the emperor's concubine, Zhao Qingzao felt very terrible.

"Seventh Princess, I'm ......" Zhao Qingzao was about to say something to the Seventh Princess, but the Seventh Princess turned around and left directly as if she hadn't heard it.

"Qingzao, why have you been there for so long?What did the seven princesses tell you?" After seeing Zhao Qingzao come back, Shen Changting asked suspiciously.

Zhao Qingzao had a bitter face, and said helplessly: "Don't ask, I'll tell you when I go back to the house." ”

If he could, Zhao Qingzao really wanted to escape with Shen Changting and Xiaocao, but where could the three of them go? The people of the Seventh Princess would definitely be able to find them, so Zhao Qingzao could only think about how to help the queen mother come up with ideas after entering the palace.

Zhao Qingzao has been absent-minded when she returned to the banquet, and Shen Changting also saw her strangeness, but the banquet is not over yet, and she can only wait until she returns to the house to ask Zhao Qingzao what happened.

After the banquet was over, Shen Changting took Zhao Qingzao back to the house, originally Han Guang and Gu Xiaolian planned to come and talk to Zhao Qingzao for a while, but after seeing Shen Changting's hurried look, they left with interest.

"Qingzao, what did the Seventh Princess say to you?, why have you been absent-minded?" After Shen Changting closed the door, he immediately asked Zhao Qingzao.

Zhao Qingzao looked at Shen Changting and hesitated to tell him about it, after all, she didn't want Shen Changting to worry.

"Qingzao, you speak, don't worry me. Shen Changting waited for a while, but Zhao Qingzao still didn't speak, which made Shen Changting more and more flustered, and he hurriedly grabbed her shoulder and continued to ask.

Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao sighed helplessly, and then told Shen Changting about the matter, and after Shen Changting knew about it, he also showed a worried look.

"Changting, I know that the people in the palace can't be easily offended, so I definitely don't want to enter the palace, but the seventh princess didn't pay attention to what I said at all, if I guessed correctly, it is estimated that the queen mother will order me to enter the palace in two days, in case something really happens to me, you must take good care of Xiaocao, and you can't let him be hurt a little." Zhao Qingzao frowned slightly, looked at Shen Changting with a serious face, and then said.

Hearing Zhao Qingzao say this, Shen Changting was very unhappy, although the palace was indeed very terrifying, but Shen Changting believed that Zhao Qingzao would definitely be able to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion safe and sound.

"Qing Zao, don't say such unlucky words, the queen mother is not an unreasonable person, as long as you really give her advice, she will definitely not do anything to you, and you are the eldest young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the righteous sister of the general, the queen mother will not hurt you easily, so don't worry. Shen Changting thought about it, and suddenly felt relieved, and then said to Zhao Qingzao.

Shen Changting has a cold temperament, so no matter what happens, she can think about it, but Zhao Qingzao is different, although she has a strong temperament, she is also very sorry for her life, after all, she has just lived a good life, how can she be willing to leave Xiaocao and Shen Changting like this?

"It's useless to say this now, when the time comes, I'll see the opportunity to act, isn't it just a woman who competes for favor? As long as I think of a way seriously, I will definitely be able to make the queen mother regain favor." After Zhao Qingzao walked around irritably, he then sat directly on the bed and thought for a while before saying to Shen Changting.

Hearing this, Shen Changting nodded, and then comforted Zhao Qingzao a few more words, and then opened the door and let Xiaoyu enter the house with Xiaocao.

Two days later, Zhao Qingzao's worst fear really happened, early in the morning, the people in the palace appeared in the prime minister's mansion, and said that the queen's mother wanted to meet Zhao Qingzao, and asked Zhao Qingzao to prepare immediately, and now she will enter the palace to meet the queen.

"Mother, who is that shrill and screaming uncle, where is he going to take you?" Xiaocao also heard what the eunuch said, and after following Zhao Qingzao into the house, Xiaocao immediately pulled Zhao Qingzao's clothes, and then asked.

Zhao Qingzao was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, and after listening to what Xiaocao said, Zhao Qingzao turned around and let Xiaocao sit on his lap, and then said: "Xiaocao, my mother is going to enter the palace, you are obediently waiting for my mother to come back in the house." ”

I heard that the emperor and the queen are both in the palace, and Xiaocao also wants to go, so my mother will take me there. After Xiaocao knew that Zhao Qingzao was going to enter the palace, his eyes immediately lit up, because he was still a fun-loving age, and Xiaocao didn't know what dangers there were in the palace, so he immediately begged Zhao Qingzao to let him take him into the palace with him.

Listening to what Xiaocao said, Zhao Qingzao shook his head with a wry smile, thinking that he was unwilling to do anything, but Xiaocao was clamoring to enter the palace, what was the matter?

"Xiaocao, you can't enter the palace without the permission of the emperor and the queen, so it's good for you to stay in the mansion and wait for your mother, you know?" Zhao Qingzao sighed, and then said to Xiaocao.

Hearing this, although Xiaocao was a little disappointed, he nodded obediently, and then he stopped making trouble to enter the palace, Zhao Qingzao put Xiaocao on the ground, and then let Xiaocao go out to play, and then combed a simple bun for himself, chose a jasper hairpin to insert in his hair, Zhao Qingzao cut his long hair again, and then stood up and followed the eunuch into the palace.

Zhao Qingzao had never entered the palace, so he was still very nervous along the way, although he was sitting in the carriage, Zhao Qingzao did not lift the curtain to see what the scenery was outside.

"Young Lady Shen, please get off the carriage. At this moment, the carriage stopped, and the eunuch also said to Zhao Qingzao in a shrill voice outside.

Zhao Qingzao took out the silver, and as soon as he got off the carriage, he secretly stuffed the silver in his hand into the hands of the eunuch, and said, "Father-in-law, I have worked hard for you." ”

Most of the people in the palace are open-eyed when they see money, and the eunuch in front of him is a celebrity around the queen, so he didn't feel scared when he saw Zhao Qingzao, who was the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he didn't give Zhao Qingzao any good face along the way, and now that he received Zhao Qingzao's silver, he finally smiled, and after putting the silver in his sleeve, he immediately smiled and said: "Young Lady Shen, this is what a slave should do, you can just call me Xiao Tianzi in the future, if Young Lady Shen often enters the palace, you can also ask a slave for help if you have anything." ”
