Chapter 227: Ruo'er

Sometimes, Empress Qin herself has to admire herself for having such a strong endurance. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info not only endured the *** of their two close brothers and sisters, endured that her husband was cuckolded, and endured the person she loved the most and still loved a woman who had been dead for many years.

But what can she do but endure it? Even if she messes everything up, what good will it do herself?

If it's no good, then why make a fuss?

Empress Qin thought more and more thoroughly, and her mood suddenly improved a lot, and when she returned to the palace, she prepared some treasures and went to greet the Queen Mother in Ronghua Palace.

The Queen Mother is sick and crooked these days, and she is much more honest.

When Empress Qin went, the Empress Dowager was taking a nap.

The palace maids hurriedly welcomed Queen Qin into the main hall, and they didn't dare to slack off on the tea.

Empress Qin said a few words with Yan Yuese, and asked Dong'er to hand over the treasures she brought to the leading palace maid, sat down and drank two sips of tea, and then asked seemingly unintentionally: "What about Ruo'er, why didn't you see her?"

A palace maid hurriedly replied respectfully: "She is in the inner hall, and the slave maid will go and callβ€”"

Empress Qin said: "No need, this palace just asks casually." Since the queen mother is still resting, don't disturb her, and the palace will come back another day. ”

As he spoke, he got up, and the person who led him simply walked out of Ronghua Palace.

The queen mother had actually woken up, and when she heard that the queen was coming, she pretended to be asleep again, and as soon as the queen left, she couldn't wait to call the palace maid close to her to come in and ask.

The palace maid told me what had just happened.

The Queen Mother smiled, clapped her hands and said: "I can't bear it, I knew it was like this, why did I refuse the kindness of the mourning family in the first place?"

Both of them are people who have been in the palace for many years, and they have already guessed each other's intentions in a few words and deeds.

The queen's move was obviously a compromise and promised to let Ruo'er wait for the emperor. Whatever her intentions, she finally took the first step.

The emperor has been suffering for so many years!

The Queen Mother sighed, feeling a little guilty about what she had done back then, although this move was also her own selfishness, but she wanted to make up for her son.

At this time, Ruo'er was in front of the Queen Mother, so she naturally understood what the Queen Mother and the Queen meant, but she was just a palace maid, and no one cared about her feelings at all.

What's more, when she first entered the palace, the Queen Mother had already told her clearly that once she entered the palace, it was as deep as the sea, and there was no second way for her to go for the rest of her life except to serve the emperor.

So Ruo'er didn't have any emotions at the moment, and only nodded slightly.

"Then you clean up well, and move to Fengyi Palace tomorrow. ”

Ruo'er said "yes" softly, knelt down and solemnly kowtowed to the Queen Mother, and then got up and exited the inner hall.

Soon, several palace maids who had befriended her came over, congratulating her with gossip, and saying that she was a sparrow turned into a phoenix, and she finally came out, and there was a lot of envy in her words.

Ruo'er just smiled, and the expression on her face was always faint.

Everyone joked for a while, and when they saw that she didn't react much, they also felt bored, and gradually dispersed.

Ruo'er couldn't help but sigh, frowned and lowered her head and walked towards the small courtyard where she lived.

There is a pigeon in the small yard that she has fed by herself, and its snow-white feathers look very cute. Ruo'er teased the little pigeon for a while, tied a small note to the little pigeon's leg, and held it in both hands and let it go violently. The little pigeon flapped its wings and flew away.

Ruo'er began to pack her luggage after entering the house. In fact, there was nothing to pack, she had not been here for long, so she did not buy any valuable ornaments, except for a few changes of clothes, only the bracelet that looked a little quaint and old was considered valuable.

Although the Queen Mother treated her well, she didn't reward her with valuable things. After all, she just thinks of herself as a pawn.

After Ruo'er cleaned up, she sat on the bed and was stunned for a while.

She didn't sleep well that night, and went to the Queen Mother to say goodbye as soon as it was dawn.

The Queen Mother inevitably confessed, and in the end she still asked the palace maid around her to hold her a box of jewelry, as well as some silver tickets of different denominations.

Ruo'er took it with both hands, kowtowed a few more times, and then with tears in the corners of her eyes, she turned around and walked out of Ronghua Palace step by step.

The queen did not summon Ruo'er immediately, but only asked Dong'er to arrange her to live in the side hall of Fengyi Palace, and sent two old palace maids to serve the marquis, and all the food and drink were compared to the position of the nobles, but she also repeatedly instructed that without her permission, Ruo'er was not allowed to step out of the palace gate easily.

This is undoubtedly tantamount to house arrest in disguise.

But Ruo'er had no objection and accepted it calmly.

Dong'er couldn't help but look at her several times when she left, and felt more and more that this woman was a mystery. She looked calm and peaceful, as if she didn't care much about anything, but in fact, there was a faint mockery and contempt in her eyes.

Who did she mock? Who did she despise? With her status, she shouldn't have looked at her like that.

The world was attracted by her beauty, so they ignored her eyes, and even nobles like the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother ignored her heart.

After Dong'er returned to the main hall, Empress Qin had already entered the inner hall to rest.

In fact, Ruo'er's arrival did not bring much change to Fengyi Palace, although the palace people would chew their tongues in private, but they did not dare to take the initiative to approach the palace, and of course they could not find out more inside information.

Nan'er has been busy inquiring about the news of Lord Chun's return to Beijing in the past two days, and today she finally got the letter and rushed back to report to Niangniang.

Empress Qin was practicing calligraphy behind the bookcase at this time, and when she heard this, she hurriedly poked her head out from behind the bookcase, "Got it?"

Nan'er nodded, walked a few steps closer to Queen Qin's side, and then whispered: "The slave maid has inquired, I heard that the county lord of Chun left Tongzhou a few days ago, but now he doesn't know where to go. ”

"Heh, you are missing again?" Empress Qin couldn't help but sneer. Since she returned to the Guogong Mansion from the other courtyard last year, she has not lived a day in peace. I used to be honest, and I have been staying in another courtyard to recuperate.

If it weren't for looking at her face, which was seven points similar to herself, Empress Qin couldn't help but wonder if she was still her own niece.

Empress Qin thought for a while and said, "Then go check again and see where she went?"

Nan'er answered, turned around and was about to retreat, Empress Qin said again: "Go and ask Commander Xiao, there should be news from him." ”

After Nan'er left, Empress Qin fell into deep thought.

Presumably the emperor doesn't know yet, otherwise he wouldn't be happy to think about giving her a fief, since no one has returned, what fief will he give?

Thinking of this, Empress Qin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But then she thought of Xiao Qian, Xiao Qian must have known where the girl went, but he didn't tell the emperor, so what was his idea?
