Chapter 131: Thoughts
The Queen Mother also smiled when she saw her so happy, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes. However, Xue Rong, who was already carried away by the surprise, didn't see it.
Xue Rong is a woman Lan Yu found outside, fatherless and motherless, beautiful and scheming.
The Queen Mother's favorite is such a woman, anyway, Leng Yexuan is also her biological son, since this is the case, then there is nothing to confuse the royal bloodline.
This Xue Rong is smart and sensible, and the Queen Mother doesn't mind giving her a chance. If she is smart enough, she should know who is the one who can give her stability in this palace. If it's a stupid one, then since the Queen Mother can give her a chance, she can let her fall.
However, Xue Rong, who was already trapped in it, was unexpected.
"Slave, thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother!"
Xue Rong touched the ground with her head and kowtowed to the Queen Mother three times before she could do it.
When she was outside the palace, she heard that the current queen mother was born as a palace maid, but she ascended to the queen's throne by virtue of the emperor's favor. At that time, her heart was not angry.
Why, she didn't have this opportunity. Since she was a child, the neighbors have said that she has the appearance of a country and a city, and even a Taoist priest once said that she is the destiny of the mother.
At that time, Xue Rong just listened to it, but when it was dark and no one was around, she would still ask, why, why didn't God give her the opportunity to read (novel) ybdu? If she can enter the palace, what else will happen to others, she is confident that she can firmly grasp Leng Yexuan's heart and let him not want her.
Later, Aunt Lan Yu, who was next to the Queen Mother, found her, and she entered the palace full of joy. She believes that as long as she relies on her beauty, she will definitely be pampered.
The Queen Mother seems to like her very much, and is willing to listen to her, and she has given her a lot of good things. and promised her that she would support her in the future, and if one day, she could give birth to a prince, then she would definitely help him ascend to the last throne.
With such a promise, how could Xue Rong not be moved? Therefore, even if the Queen Mother asked her to follow Zhou Yanling's idiot first, she gritted her teeth and endured it.
Every day, she could see Leng Yexuan's handsome face, and she even dreamed more than once that she was wearing a golden silk phoenix robe, standing beside him, and they admired the appearance of the country together.
Now, that step is even closer.
Zhou Yanling had already been disgusted by Leng Yexuan, although Xue Rong didn't know why, but she was happy in her heart. She believed that she was the woman who made Leng Yexuan fall in love.
Hearing the Queen Mother's promise again, Xue Rong was even more happy, and her face showed an excited expression.
"Don't worry, the mourning family is in charge of you." The Queen Mother said with a smile, and asked Lan Yu to go to the apse again, took a box of jewelry, and handed it to Xue Rong with her own hands. "These are all given to the mourning family by the first emperor back then, and now that the mourning family is old, where did they bring these things, they will be given to you, in the future, you can't forget the mourning family."
The Queen Mother said half-jokingly, half-warningly.
Xue Rong took the box with joy, and it was a deep blessing.
"The Queen Mother can rest assured, the slave will not live up to the Niangniang's entrustment."
Xue Rong only felt that she had never met someone so good to her, and she would definitely repay the Queen Mother's kindness to her.
"That's it, after talking for a while, the mourning family is also tired, so you can retreat." The Queen Mother took a sip of the teacup, and rubbed her sore forehead again before she spoke. "Don't forget what you said."
"The Queen Mother, don't worry." Xue Rong stood up with a light smile, and it was a blessing again, and she retired.
After she left, the Queen Mother looked at the back, and a faint smile rose on the corner of her mouth.
"Saying that others are stupid, she doesn't see how smart she is."
But they are all fools, the Queen Mother said mockingly.
"Where are they half as good as their mothers, but this is more beneficial to us." Lan Yu on the side laughed softly, raising the status of the queen mother again.
"Just you can talk." Obviously, the Queen Mother was still very happy to hear Lan Yu's slightly flattering words.
"Is Niang Niang really going to help her?" Lan Yu asked. In fact, where would she not know the Queen Mother's thoughts? It's just that pretending to be ignorant like this will make the Queen Mother's mood better.
"Help her? Oh, the mourning family is ready to help her. The Queen Mother took a sip of the water in the teacup, with an unknown smile on her face. Help her die! ”
The Queen Mother bit the word death fiercely, although she was not Leng Yexuan's biological mother, she also raised him since childhood, so she naturally knew Leng Yexuan's temperament. For this kind of woman who suddenly appeared and was extremely shameless, Leng Yexuan was very disgusted. As for Xue Rong, since she wants to be favored, let's see how much life she can squander.
"The Queen Mother's Trick!"
Lan Yu looked at the Queen Mother's eyes, full of respect and trust.
Over there, Xue Rong had just left Shou'an Palace, and returned to Xiao Jue's Palace, she still had to face that idiot now, she really didn't know how a person with such an unclear brain got to where she is today.
A trace of coldness crossed Xue Rong's face. If she becomes a concubine in the future, she must let her know how powerful she is.
Entering Xiao Jue's Palace, Xue Rong's face returned to its previous indifference and indifference, as if nothing had anything to do with her.
"Concubine Chen."
As soon as he stepped into the inner room, he saw Zhou Yanling sitting on the big kang by the window with a resentful face, twisting a silk handkerchief in his hand. Xue Rong pursed her lips disdainfully, which was a respectful call.
"Coming back? What did the Queen Mother say? Zhou Yanling was originally irritable to death, but when she heard the voice, she still frowned. But when she turned around, she saw that it was Xue Rong who had gone to Shou'an Palace, and she became excited, looking at her with a smile on her face, and her tone was quite eager.
"Back to Niangniang's words, the Queen Mother said that you should be at ease, she will make decisions for you in this matter." Xue Rong's tone was deferential, but as for what she was doing, no one knew.
"My concubine knows that the Queen Mother loves me the most." Zhou Yanling breathed a sigh of relief lightly and seemed very relaxed.
Xue Rong lowered her head to prevent Zhou Yanling from seeing the expression on her face, but her gaze was drawn on Zhou Yanling's forehead.
It was wrapped in cotton gauze, but there were still traces of blood leaking out, and the wound was very deep. The imperial doctor who had just left, the regretful expression on his face was clearly seen by Xue Rong.
Zhou Yanling's face is considered a waste, even if the wound heals in the future, it is impossible not to leave a scar.
However, Xue Rong did not have the slightest pity.
Ever since she followed Zhou Yanling's side, she has seen her arrogance, willfulness, and grumpy state, which is really annoying. Now, it is no longer possible for her to be favored by the emperor, so let her come up.
The corners of Xue Rong's lips raised into an imperceptible smile.
"You go down first, this concubine has to think about it." Zhou Yanling was deeply immersed in her own thoughts, where could she still take care of Xue Rong on the side, but the expression on her face was not seen at all.
Xue Rong responded, she was unwilling to serve her, so there was a reason to retreat.
The moment she closed the door, Xue Rong saw Zhou Yanling drink all the tea in the cup, and muttered:
"Xia Nishang, this concubine must let you die without a place to be buried!"
Xue Rong sneered coldly.
Although Leng Yexuan sent Xia Nishang into the cold palace, it was clear that she still had her in his heart, and if he rushed forward, it would only disgust the emperor. If she was Zhou Yanling, she would first find a way to capture the emperor's heart, and then step by step, let Leng Yexuan kill Xia Nishang with her own hands, so that it could be regarded as revenge.
However, Xue Rong would not say these words to Zhou Yanling.
She's such a stupid person, even if she knows how to do it, she's going to mess things up.
After leaving the inner room, Xue Rong went to the small kitchen in the backyard.
That was when Xia Nishang was a concubine, Leng Yexuan ordered someone to build it.
I heard that Xia Nishang has always liked to cook some side dishes, and she also likes to be a fan of Shen Leng Ye Xuan, and on weekdays, Leng Ye Xuan likes to come to Xiao Jue Palace for dinner.
Xue Rong smiled faintly, she grew up by herself since she was a child, and when it comes to cooking skills, how can a palace maid compare.
The palace people in Xiao Jue Palace all know that she is Zhou Yanling's henchman, and they are mostly flattering to her.
Xue Rong took out all the minions in the small kitchen on the pretext of cooking for Concubine Chen, and she rolled up her sleeves and washed her hands to make soup.
In a short time, she made two side dishes and served a soup. While the soup was still simmering on the fire, Xue Rong asked an obedient little girl to help her watch it, so as not to be touched by others or overheated.
As for herself, she went back to the house, bathed and changed clothes, and dressed up.
After a while, Xue Rong came out.
I saw her wearing a light pink lotus root silk silk sprinkled palace dress, her hair was pulled up with a purple silk hairband, and a string of jade rabbit earrings fell from her ears. The eyebrows are lightly drawn, and the lip flaps are slightly vermilion, which is really good-looking.
Looking at yourself in the mirror, everything is flawless. Xue Rong smiled faintly, and a touch of inevitable emotion filled her surroundings.
She went to the small kitchen, put the dishes and soups in a large food box carved from red lacquered wood, and then, regardless of the color of everyone, went straight out of Xiao Jue Palace and went to Ruiyu Palace.
In fact, there are a few palace people in Xiao Jue's palace who can see Xue Rong's thoughts, but they won't tell Zhou Yanling. Zhou Yanling has always been pampered and arrogant, and she has beaten and scolded the minions in the palace a lot, and they have long been tired of this master.
"Manager Xia, the slave maid was ordered by Concubine Chen's mother to send some things to the emperor, and I hope that the manager will be accommodating." After Xue Rong was dressed up, she was still as cold as before. can be regarded as extremely coquettish, but Xia Xing is not a fool, so she can naturally see her thoughts.
He muttered for a while before he spoke.
"The emperor is in a good mood today, girl, go in quickly, lest the food be cold and the food will be bad."
Xia Xing pretended to be full of compliments, and when he saw the Xue Rong demon walking in in a tone, he couldn't help but spit out.
"Really, I thought I was a phoenix!"
