Chapter 221: The Power of the Queen Mother (1st Update)
In the main hall of Ciming Palace, Empress Dowager Shao, who was dressed in a golden cloud and dragon pattern Yanju crown dress, sat on the phoenix seat, frowned and looked at Empress Xu sitting next to her, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Since you are so insistent, then make a decision after I have met the Shen family."

Although Queen Xu, who was weak and weak, looked still a little cowardly, she bowed her head and said, "Thank you Queen Mother." The gently trembling hand tightly grasped the Shoushan Fuhai pattern woven by fine and dense gold threads on his sleeves, and his joints were slightly white.
The female official led Shen Ruohua all the way into the hall and retreated to the side. Shen Ruohua lowered her eyes and walked towards the hall step by step, stopped not far from the two nobles, and bowed down on her knees: "The courtier Shen family greets the queen mother and the queen mother." ”
Empress Dowager Shao carefully looked at Shen Ruohua in front of her, her appearance was beautiful, but in this palace, she was just ordinary, but such a seemingly ordinary woman was already related to many things, and such a person was afraid that it was not as simple as it seemed.
Empress Dowager Shao's gaze became gloomy, and the smile on her face was faint and faint: "Get up." He retracted his gaze and said in a flat tone, "You are the daughter of the Shen family, Shen Junru of Baoding Mansion?" ”
Shen Ruohua slowly raised her eyes and looked at Empress Dowager Shao: "Yes." "But the heart is sinking, the queen mother's appearance looks very haggard, although it is according to the makeup, but the bright jewels on her head are tired of silk, five dragons and three phoenixes, and the temples have turned white, and the original fit Zhai Yi also looks a little loose, only the eyes are still sharp and sharp, looking at her burningly.
She couldn't help but feel a little sad, the queen mother lost her husband in middle age, supported her young son to ascend the throne, and spent all her years worrying about the court, her body and bones were already not as good as before, and the emperor's temperament was very stubborn, which made the queen mother even more troubled. In the past, she could still help take care of her when she was alive, but now she is afraid that the Queen Mother's health is even worse.
Empress Dowager Shao didn't know Shen Ruohua's thoughts, she saw that Shen Ruohua's expression was calm, and she didn't even look flustered when she was visited, but she was insightful, her face eased a little, and she instructed the palace maid: "Give me a seat." ”
The palace maids brought a square stool and put it in front of Shen Ruohua, Shen Ruohua thanked him and sat down quietly.
"I heard that you took the pulse of the queen, and prescribed medicine to her, to regulate her body, but so?" Empress Dowager Shao's eyes fell on Shen Ruohua, and there was no joy or anger in her tone.
Shen Ruohua looked at Queen Xu who was sitting next to the Queen Mother, and saw that she was dressed in a marten full of golden dragon and phoenix armor, combing a homely bun, and she was not wearing the queen's Yanju crown dress according to the system, and her face was even paler, as if there was something wrong with her body.
She couldn't help but sink in her heart, lowered her head and replied: "Yes, the courtiers did take the pulse and take the prescription for the queen to regulate her body." ”
"What a guts!" Empress Dowager Shao's tone suddenly sharpened, and she said coldly, "An ordinary woman actually dares to see the queen, if there is anything wrong with the queen's phoenix body, you will be unable to say anything!" ”
Her abrupt tone made all the female officials in the palace bow their heads in fright, and even Queen Xu couldn't help but change her face, everyone knew that the queen mother in front of her was the real master of the empire, although she was a woman, she had been in charge of the government for more than ten years, and even the first assistant ministers in the court did not dare to go against her wishes.
It's just that Shen Ruohua was still calm, and bowed slightly and said: "What the Queen Mother said is extremely true, the courtiers don't dare to make judgments, so they carefully took the prescription after carefully checking the pulse, only because the queen's body is too wet and cold, so she needs to use some medicine to raise." ”
Empress Dowager Shao couldn't help but look at the young woman in front of her a little impressed, few people could be so calm in front of her, even the emperor had to restrain a lot when she was angry, there were few people in this palace who could do this, after all, Yongjia was gone.
Thinking of the county lord of Yongjia, Empress Dowager Shao's face slowed down slightly, and she said coldly: "You are a bold one." She looked at Shen Ruohua: "I heard that you just separated from the third child of the Guangping Marquis Mansion, and invited Princess Fu to witness for you, but it is a pity that Princess Kang came to my palace two days ago to ask for an edict, to let the third child of the Xue family Shang Shouning eldest princess, he will be a concubine, do you regret it?" ”
For a while, even Queen Xu looked at Shen Ruohua, wanting to see what her expression was, after all, Xue Wenhao and Shen Ruohua were married and married, and they were just separated from Princess Shang, if this is where an ordinary woman can swallow this breath, I am afraid that she will cry for a while.
Shen Ruohua heard something meaningful, she didn't believe that the Queen Mother summoned her into the palace just to ask her these words, she had been serving by the Queen Mother's side for so many years, and knew that although the Queen Mother didn't seem to ask about these trivial things on weekdays, in fact, there was a secret report on the affairs of the Master of Ceremonies and the Jinyi Guard, and she was clear about the movements of your mansion in Kyoto. If she really wanted to interfere in the affairs of the Marquis of Guangping, she would not have waited until this time to summon her to ask, it seems that the Queen Mother has other plans!
She smiled calmly and said: "Buddhism says fate, and the way of husband and wife also pays attention to fate, and the courtier's daughter and Xue Sanye are reconciled and separated, that is, the fate of husband and wife is over, and I just hope that they are well." Xue Sanye was able to return to the eldest princess of Shouning, which was also a great blessing for the Marquis of Guangping, and the courtiers were also happy for them. ”
Empress Dowager Shao stared at Shen Ruohua like a torch for a long time, and still saw her sitting quietly, her smile was calm and natural, and she didn't seem to be lying to cover it up, so she raised her eyebrows and showed a smile: "You are a special person, you will reconcile and leave your husband's family without crying or making trouble, and you can still be like a person who has nothing to do, no wonder Princess Fu also values you." ”
She waved her hand and asked the palace maid who was kneeling at her feet to smoke the acupuncture points with moxibustion for her to step back, and then said: "You also solved the poisoning of General Liang before, so you really have good medical skills." ”
Shen Ruohua smiled slightly: "The courtiers thanked the Queen Mother for her praise." She didn't be humble anymore, she just admitted it.
"I didn't expect Shen Junru to have such a dull and stubborn temperament, but there is such a bold daughter as you!" Empress Dowager Shao looked at her and suddenly laughed, "Since the queen also thinks that you have good medical skills and wants you to be the female doctor of Kunning Palace to take care of her body, I can't help but agree." ”
She glanced at Empress Xu, who had a slight smile on her face, and smiled faintly, before turning her head to look at Shen Ruohua again: "It's just that if there is a slight difference between the queen and the imperial heir in her womb, I will take the life of your Shen family!" Do you hear me? ”
Empress Dowager Shao's tone was soft, and she didn't have the voice of Fang Cai, but Shen Ruohua was stunned, and bowed her head and promised: "The courtiers obey orders." "Queen Xu is pregnant.
