Shu E hurriedly got up, and Lilac helped each other on the side. As soon as she got out of bed, she didn't have time to ask Lilac what was wrong with her, and the Queen Mother had already walked in with Zhu Yan's hand.

Shu E only felt panic in her heart, broke free from Lilac's hand, and was deeply blessed.

"Shu'e, do you know what you've done?" The Queen Mother's tone was not very harsh, and there was some urgency.

"Slave maid......" Shu'e didn't know how to explain, there were too many things happening today, and I didn't know what the Queen Mother was referring to. Did you go to the garden to drink without permission, or did you encounter the emperor's disgrace in front of the emperor?

"Where did you get that bottle of Yingyu wine?" The Queen Mother had just been helped by Zhu Yan to sit down, so she asked.

Shu E hurriedly knelt down on her knees and lowered her head. It is not proper to drink alcohol in the palace by yourself. That's why I didn't dare to let Hua Fu know. But if he said Xiaoyingzi, he would have hurt him. Lilac also knelt down.

"Hurry up." The Queen Mother was concerned, and Zhu Yan and Hua Fu hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.

"Slaves and maids should not be private...... Privately...... Sacrifice. Shu E didn't know how to phrase it.

"What's that for?" The Queen Mother looked at Shu E and asked softly.

What's that for? Shu E's head suddenly felt a groggy and dull pain. It's okay, the pain in the brain is like this, and the heart doesn't feel the pain anymore......

Shu E hesitated and didn't dare to say that she drank and celebrated today, it was for her brother's birthday, and her behavior was against the rules, but it was reasonable or forgivable, so it didn't hurt to say it to the Queen Mother.

However, there were still Lilacs standing behind him, Sister-in-law He, and the maid brought from Cao's Mansion. They all only brought themselves who were not from the Cao family, not the real Cao Shuyan. If they knew that they had wished Ran's birthday, they didn't know what they would think.

The Queen Mother looked at Shu E's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, waved her hand and sent away the people around her, and even Mama Zhu Yan followed her.

"My third brother is also today's birthday. The slave and the maid ...... Drinking is far away. Shu E saw that everyone had walked out, she was no longer so nervous, thought carefully about the wording, and slowly replied.

"Your third brother...... You mean...... Cao ...... Cao You ......" The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes slightly, and her tone became slow and intermittent, as if she was thinking about something.

"Yes, the third brother is famous, and the word is Rannuo." Shu E replied, saying the word Rannuo again, and even she didn't know whether she was happy or sad.

"Since it's my brother's birthday, why don't you set up a banquet in Yong'an Hall to celebrate it, and I must go to the bamboo forest?" The Queen Mother's tone has been greatly softened, and her eyes are very kind when she looks at Shu E.

"Brother Rannuo......" Shu E's heart moved, and she only felt that it was a great blessing to call him like this, but ...... Shu E's heart was sour. He was busy collecting his thoughts, and he made up his mind, and said: "He is the same age as me, and the relationship between the elder brother and the second brother is deeper, and he loves bamboo very much, so the slave and maid went to the garden." ”

"I love bamboo. Well, the body has knots, few vine branches, the wind does not break, the rain does not pollute, and the gentleman is like a bamboo. The Queen Mother said slowly, with admiration in her tone, "You are more intimate with the third brother, things gather by like, and people by groups." If you are so, surely he ...... Well, it's also extraordinary...... Hmmm......"

After a moment of silence, he said, "Alas...... What can I say, you kid? Although the Queen Mother seemed to blame Shu E, a smile was already evident in her tone.

Shu E was speechless for a while, but said in a low voice: "The slave knows her mistake." ”

"If it's for the sake of brotherhood, what's wrong? The mourners blame you for another thing. Although the Queen Mother said "blame", there was no hint of blame in her tone.

Shu E was busy kneeling down again, but the Queen Mother hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop.

"It's not early, so I don't have time to tell you more about it today. The mourning family has to go back to the palace to change clothes. The Queen Mother stood up as she spoke, "You don't have to take today's events to heart, so you can rest." ”

Shu E nodded, and followed behind the Queen Mother to send her out.

"You don't have to send it", the Queen Mother turned around and said, her face showing a slight look of disappointment, "It's a pity that you can't go to the emperor's family banquet tonight." ”

"If the Queen Mother doesn't dislike the slaves and maids for being stupid, the slaves and maids will still follow the Queen Mother." Shu E said.

The Queen Mother's face showed joy, and then she smiled and said, "I said I would let you go with you earlier, but you are ...... now Just now I asked the Chinese medical officer to come and say that you have a heat stroke. Alas...... It's not too hot yet, but in the middle of summer, how are you doing? ”

"It's all right." Shu E said.

"Okay, when you are in time, you come to Qingshou Palace." The Queen Mother smiled slightly, turned to leave. The palace maids of Yong'an Hall all followed behind Shu E, saluted with great blessings, and sent the Queen Mother out.

When the Queen Mother walked back from the back door of the Qingshou Palace, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Lilac couldn't help but say: "I'm scared to death...... While Hua Fu and Lilac helped Shu'e into the house, Lilac said again: "You don't know how nervous I was when I saw the Queen Mother coming in person." ”

"The Queen Mother didn't blame you, did she?" Shu E asked, somehow, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"There is no blame, but it is more terrible than blame", Lilac said, "Watching the Queen Mother say nothing, it really makes people's hearts furious." ”

"You're talking nonsense again", Shu E smiled slightly, then turned around and took Lilac and Hua Fu's hands, "It's my own bad that has caused you to be frightened." After saying that, he curtled his knees and apologized to the two.

Hua Fu and Lilac hurriedly helped her up and returned the favor to her. Hua Fu asked Shu E to sit down, and Lilac poured a bowl of tea. Shu E saw that the two of them wanted to speak and stopped, and knew that they were all worried about this matter in their hearts, but it was not easy to ask themselves.

Shu E smiled and said, "I'll tell you about today's events when I come back." ”

"Come back?" Lilac wondered.

"When the Queen Mother first came, on the one hand, she reproached me for privately sacrificing wine, and on the other hand, she ordered me to follow her to Gyeongbokgun Hall at night."

"Gyeongbokgun?" At this time, Hua Fu was also a little surprised, and the Queen Mother looked at Shu E.

"Madame's business, we shouldn't have asked, it's just ......" Waffle hesitated.

"You have always spoken concisely, cleanly, and clearly, and your words have been spoken, and they must be useful. If there are no outsiders here, why not just say it? Shu E asked.

"Offering wine in private is against the rules of the palace. The Queen Mother was angry, which was expected. It's just that today, the Queen Mother is not angry. The word blame, I'm afraid Madame used it too heavily. Huafu said in a determined tone.

Shu E nodded slightly, knowing that Hua Fu thought of it with herself. I became more and more confused.

"This shows that the Queen Mother likes our wife, so she is extrajudicial and does not blame." Lilac said.

Hua Fu shook his head lightly and said: "Since there is no intention to blame, why should I come to Yong'an Hall in person, and feast the ministers at noon, but only set up a false seat, and do not go to the banquet?" ”

When Shu E heard this, she realized that Lu Dao was in a coma for her own private sacrificial wine, and the Queen Mother didn't even go to the noon banquet, and she was even more panicked.

"On the birthday of the son-in-law, the queen mother set up a false seat and did not go to the banquet, which is not inappropriate. The Queen Mother cares about her wife, so she has to come, what's so difficult about this? "Lilac hasn't gotten it yet.

"Since you care about your wife, and you are still absent, why do you have to ask your wife to follow you for tonight's family banquet? Why don't you let Madame have a good rest? Hua Fu looked at Shu E with a look of deep worry. Shu E frowned slightly when she heard Hua Fu's words. From the time I woke up and saw the Queen Mother, until the Queen Mother left, I have been a little uncomfortable in my heart. It's just that I've never been sure, and I've never dared to think about it. Listening to Waffle at this moment, I felt that it was true.

"This ......" Ding Xiang saw Shu E's expression, knowing that what Hua Fu said was really true, and she didn't know what Lu Dao should say.

The three of them were relatively speechless for a moment, but Shu E said with a smile: "Help me change my coat, don't be late." Maybe we're thinking too much. ”

Shu E walked to the door and saw that there was no one around, Fang asked Lilac in a low voice, "How did I come back?" But his heart was very troubled. If you remember correctly, if you remember correctly, the moment you fainted, what is ...... He held on. How long has he been in the bamboo forest? Why don't you know it? Today, isn't it his birthday, how can it still be there...... Their own greetings, their own distractions, their own tears, their own doubts...... How much did he see and how much did he hear?

Shu E is not afraid, although he is the emperor, the most noble person in the Song Dynasty. What made Shu E uneasy was the look in his eyes at the moment he fell.

Although Lilac knew that Shu'e lowered her voice and asked in order not to let others hear, she still said "huh" in surprise. When he saw the nervous and shy expression on Shu E's face, he immediately covered his mouth and whispered: "I thought you knew the truth, you were still talking when you came back." ”

Shu E was even more surprised: "That...... Did I walk back on my own? ”

Lilac couldn't help but laugh, "You've become like that, how can you still walk back on your own?" ”

"What...... Appearance? Shu E said hurriedly, "I'm not still ...... Still talking? I...... What the hell am I talking about...... Say what? ”

"If I can understand it, I will learn it from you." Lilac was originally smiling, seeing that Shu'e was so anxious that she was about to cry, she hurriedly reached out to hold her shoulders and comforted her: "When you came back, your legs and feet were not very good at walking, your head and face were hot, but you were still saying something, and you didn't really faint." It was the Queen Mother's glass who sent you back, don't you really know the way? ”

Shu E was at a loss in her heart, completely unaware of what was going on. But I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in my heart, fortunately, fortunately, it wasn't him, send myself back. At this moment, Shu'e has been praying in her heart not to be involved with him.

Suddenly turned around, smiled at the waffle who saw him, and thought to himself that the waffle had finally slowly accepted himself, and it was unprecedented to imagine himself like this today. Suddenly, I felt that I had a little more courage.

Shu E walked out of the temple gate, and whispered in Lilac's ear intentionally or unintentionally: "You go to the bamboo forest and pick up the things I left behind." ”
