After driving for more than two hours, the carriage passed through the imperial city and entered the palace city.

The imperial palace of the Northern Qi Kingdom looks very majestic and magnificent, and the entire palace exudes the air of a noble emperor.

The five-zhang high vermilion palace wall divides one of the palaces of Nuoda into a labyrinth.

After entering the palace gate, Su Ruoxi changed to a sedan chair and passed through the rows of palace houses.

In the heavy courtyard, there are all kinds of exquisite pavilions and lofts, rockery and water pavilions. It's dazzling and dazzling.

Su Ruoxi This is the first time to enter the palace, the only feeling is that this palace is really not ordinarily big, she has been around the palace for nearly half an hour, she has been dozing, why haven't she reached the middle palace yet?

Originally, she could sleep in one sleep, but because it was the first time she entered the palace, she always had to remember the route.

When she arrived at the harem, the palace people who led the way asked her to get off the sedan chair and walk, which made Su Ruoxi very depressed.

It took about another stick of incense in the harem, and by the time she finally arrived in the middle palace, the sun had already set.

"Princess, please wait here for a while, and the slave will go in and report to the queen."

The middle palace is where the queen lives, and the palace is very large, just a vacant space in front of the door is enough to be the size of a square.

Su Ruoxi was bored, so he looked around, thinking that the palace was different, the guards everywhere were very strict, and the palace people performed their duties and did things in an orderly manner.

Su Ruoxi just looked around, and Xiangxiang, who was following her, reminded in a low voice: "The princess must not look at random, she should maintain her posture and lower her eyes." ”

On the way from Pingyang City to the palace, Xiangxiang kept telling her all kinds of rules and etiquette, and her head was big when she heard it.

"Xiangxiang, the queen is also a human, not a witch or a monster, what are you afraid of."

Su Ruoxi pouted helplessly, but she just looked around, could it be that the queen would gouge out her eyes?

At this time, the palace maid who had just gone in to pass the word came out and said softly: "The third princess, please come in, the mother has been waiting for a long time." ”

Su Ruoxi nodded and walked straight towards the palace. Xiangxiang wanted to follow, but was stopped by the palace maid.

"The queen mother is only allowed to let the princess enter the palace alone, and idlers please wait outside the palace."

Hearing the palace maid's words, Su Ruoxi stopped, turned back to Xiangxiang and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine, just wait outside." ”

After speaking, Su Ruoxi ignored Xiangxiang and entered the palace alone.

The silence in the palace was frighteningly silent, and the queen sat on top of the high hall through the beaded curtains.

Su Ruoxi could only see a bright yellow phoenix dress that was gorgeous to the extreme, as well as the two old ladies on the left and right beside the queen.

The faces of the two old ladies were very stern, and they stood there like wax men without moving.

"Concubines, see the queen mother!"

Su Ruo bowed, although she didn't have a good impression of the queen, she still learned etiquette well.

The queen behind the curtain raised her hand to lift a beaded curtain, her thin lips opened lightly, and her voice was steady and majestic.

"Raise your head and let Hongu take a look."

Su Ruoxi raised her eyes and looked directly at the queen, only then did she see clearly that the queen was dignified, although she was middle-aged, her charm still existed. A pair of phoenix eyes are shining, and the whole body exudes a kind of motherly atmosphere.

"Presumptuous! The queen mother is what you can look at! ”

Su Ruoxi only glanced at the queen, and a grandmother beside the queen gave a lesson, and her tone was very stern.

"Hehe, what's wrong with this princess taking a look? Could it be that when you look at the queen, the queen will drag a piece of skin and lose a piece of meat? ”

"The queen didn't speak, what are you in a hurry to bite? How can this princess be taught by you, a lowly slave and maidservant? ”

Su Ruoxi was angry in her heart, a slave dared to yell at her, then she was too much of a princess.

Although the words were said to the old woman, the queen listened to it in her ears and did not like it at all.

"The third princess entered the palace for the first time, and it is understandable that she does not understand the rules of the palace. Mama Wang, Mama Liu, you teach the princess how to speak for the palace. ”

"Yes!"

The two grandmothers received the queen's instructions, and walked over to Su Ruoxi with bright eyes.

Su Ruoxi understood the hidden meaning of the queen's words, but she didn't expect that the queen would be so direct and wanted to give her a hard time in a hurry.

The problem between her and the queen does not need any explanation at all, offending Shen Lianyue and Su Ruotong, the queen does not need to make excuses to punish her.

What's more, this is still the royal palace and the queen's territory.

The two grandmothers walked up to Su Ruoxi and stretched out their hands to suppress her.

Seeing that the queen had already torn her face, Su Ruoxi didn't intend to endure it, so she kicked one by one and kicked the two old ladies out of the air.

The two old ladies fell on the marble floor and cried wolf, and the queen was so angry that she slapped the phoenix chair, stood up and shouted: "Third princess, you are so bold, is this a rebellion!" ”

"Rebellion? I can't afford to be charged with such a big crime. Just because of my words, the queen mother will be punished, it seems that the mother is too small-bellied, right? ”

"Niangniang privately summoned the concubine into the palace, if the concubine has something to go back, the third prince will not give up."

As soon as Su Ruoxi's words came out, the queen's face changed.

angered Mu Zihan, the Shen family would not have a good life. By the way, the queen is still very clear in her heart.

So, the queen eased her tone and said: "The third princess is afraid that she will misunderstand the palace, and the palace thinks that the third princess is the sister of the crown princess, so she wants to see her." ”

"Near the Japanese Palace, a flower-viewing banquet has been prepared in the palace, and the daughters of various famous families will come to participate, so the palace will bring the three princesses into the palace in advance, so that the three princesses and the crown princess can accompany the palace."

Hearing the queen talk about the flower viewing banquet, Su Ruoxi remembered what Xiangxiang told her.

It's the season when the flowers are blooming, so Xiangxiang guessed that maybe this time the queen summoned her to the palace for the reason of the flower viewing banquet.

The flower viewing banquet is held by the queen every year, and many famous daughters will participate in it every time.

The queen will also choose the princesses from among the outstanding daughters. Therefore, every flower-viewing banquet can be described as a hidden turbulence, and those young ladies will do their best to win the favor of the queen.

She used to be a fool, so she never participated in this flower viewing party.

As for why the queen asked her to participate this year, the purpose behind this may not be too simple.

"Thank you for the love of the queen!"

Su Ruoxi replied expressionlessly, there are still two days before the flower viewing banquet, anyway, she is too idle, but she can have a good time in the palace.
