After entering the palace, Qi Mingrui and Shen Ruohua did not see the queen mother, and the palace maid led them to Kunning Palace to kowtow to the queen and thank them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The pot-bellied queen sat on the phoenix seat, stroked her bulging belly, and said to Shen Ruohua with a smile: "Now it can be regarded as a good thing, and it is also your blessing, General Qi knelt in the Empress Dowager's Ciming Hall for two hours before he asked for the Empress Dowager's marriage." ”

Shen Ruohua didn't expect such a thing, so she couldn't help but glance back at Qi Mingrui, with a happy smile on her face, and said softly: "It's all the grace given by the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother." ”

The queen looked at the natural glow on her face, as well as the demeanor that matched Qi Mingrui's husband and wife's affection, and couldn't help but feel envy in her heart, although she was a young couple with the emperor, but over the years, they were just respectful of each other, and the emperor had never had any love for her, let alone such tacit affection.

She thought of the emperor's current appearance, and her heart was even more sad, and she said in a low voice: "The emperor doesn't know how it is now, is it better." ”

Shen Ruohua was taken aback, remembering that she had never seen the Queen Mother when she entered the palace today, and she didn't know if it was because of the emperor's affairs, so she hurriedly asked, "Isn't the emperor in the Taiji Hall now?" Niangniang has never seen the emperor? "Since the emperor's accident, the queen mother has always taken the queen in the Taiji Palace, how could she let her stay in Kunning Palace alone.

Empress Xu shook her head and sighed: "Zhang Zhenren said that there is a way to save the emperor, but he just wants the emperor to go to the cave to live for a few days, and only after listening to the scriptures and practicing can he be cured. She said worriedly, "It's only been these two days, and there is no news sent back, and I don't know what to do." ”

Shen Ruohua sighed in her heart, at this time, Zhang Zhenren asked the emperor to go to the cave on the outskirts of Beijing, and the queen mother also went with her, she didn't know if Zhang Zhenren could cure the emperor, but she was afraid that something was wrong when she knew that such a situation was wrong.

It's just that she didn't know much about Queen Xu, so she had to smile and said: "Niangniang is relieved, the emperor is blessed, and he will definitely be safe." ”

Empress Xu said with a sad face: "I just hope that the Queen Mother and the emperor will return to the palace as soon as possible, and seeing that I will give birth in a few days, I am really worried in my heart." ”

Shen Ruohua looked at her belly, and her worry deepened, if the Dongping Mansion really had something on her mind, I was afraid that she would not allow the queen to give birth to the little prince safely, but I didn't know how they would do it, and now there is no evidence of their rebellion, so I can only be on guard everywhere.

Queen Xu also happened to mention Dongping Palace: "The Duchess of Xinguo also took the second lady to hand over the sign to the palace to ask for peace, and wanted to see the Queen Mother, but she didn't say anything when she entered the Kunning Palace, just said a few words of gossip and left, thinking that it was also because of the marriage to be completed." She looked at Shen Ruohua and smiled: "Being a bride is always a little shy, and it is inevitable that you will worry about this and that." ”

Shen Ruohua then remembered that the wedding date between Zhou Qiyou and Yao Erniang was in these days, but why did the Duchess of Xinguo take Yao Erniang into the palace at this time to ask to see the Queen Mother, according to this, this should be the busiest time in the Xinguo Mansion, in order to prepare for the marriage, she should be so busy that she can't get out of her body, and Yao Erniang will not go out of the house at will if she wants to be a bride.

She remembered what happened before, and her suspicions deepened, she turned around and exchanged glances with Qi Mingrui, pressed not to mention it in front of Queen Xu, said a few words with the queen, asked for a safe pulse, and the two got up and retired.

The palace car went out of the palace gate, Qi Mingrui turned over and dismounted to the side of the car, stretched out his hand to pick up Shen Ruohua and got out of the car, but when he was about to leave, he saw Zhou Qiyou, who was wearing a Jiangya sea python robe, coming out of the imperial city gate with his entourage, and saw Qi Mingrui and Shen Ruohua from a distance, his face changed slightly, and he quickly showed a modest smile and strode over.

"General Qi, Lord Shen," Zhou Qiyou said while clenching his fists and bowing slightly, "I also went to the wedding banquet the day before, it was very lively, it was really a match made in heaven." ”

As he spoke, his eyes were slightly biased towards Shen Ruohua, looking at the woman in front of him, dressed in a first-class lady's Xia curtain, with a black hairpin with inlaid treasures and red gold flat squares on her black hair bun, rich and magnificent, and it seemed that she was radiant and compelling.

This made Zhou Qiyou stunned, he once again felt that this woman looked so familiar, no longer the vague feeling before, but more and more clear and stronger, he looked at Shen Ruohua, almost felt that she was the familiar person, Zhu Xulin was also so dazzling at the beginning, even the queen mother repeatedly praised her for having the style of the forest, and even the princesses of the first emperor could not compare to her demeanor.

Qi Mingrui stepped forward, seemingly inadvertently blocking Zhou Qiyou's unscrupulous glance at Shen Ruohua, and slightly bowed and hugged his fists: "Shizi." ”

Zhou Qiyou suddenly came back to his senses and smiled: "General Qi and Lord Shen entered the palace to thank you?" I also heard that the queen mother and the emperor went to the cave to worship the incense, not in the palace, but I am afraid that the two will come again another day. ”

He turned his face to Shen Ruohua behind Qi Mingrui and said, "I heard that the emperor suffered from a cold some time ago, I don't know what the situation is now?" ”

Shen Ruohua looked at him with worried eyes, and said lightly: "It's okay to think about it, isn't it already going to the incense to worship." ”

Zhou Qiyou smiled and nodded: "I want to come, so we can rest assured." He clenched his fists and said to Qi Mingrui: "In two days is my wedding date, and I invite General Qi and Lord Shen to come to the mansion to sit and enjoy a glass of wine." ”

Qi Mingrui escorted Shen Ruohua into the carriage of the British Mansion, and then turned around and said to Zhou Qiyou: "From now on, I will go to Daoxi, and I hope that the son will not give up." "The etiquette is not bad at all, but it is always alienated.

Zhou Qiyou didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "Then I'll wait, it's a pity that the two generals of the Liang family are not in Kyoto, otherwise I must invite them to the mansion for a drink." ”

Farewell Zhou Qiyou, Qi Mingrui didn't ride a horse, handed over the horse to his entourage, turned over into the carriage himself, sat down next to Shen Ruohua and accompanied her back to the house.

The carriage was not big, the tall Qi Mingrui sat in and looked a little cramped, Shen Ruohua could almost feel Qi Mingrui's snort on the side of his neck, warm and itchy, making her a little uncomfortable, and lowered her head and said, "Zhou Shizi is already gone?" The emperor is not in the palace, isn't it in vain for him to enter the palace? ”

Qi Mingrui tightened his sword eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that there is something wrong with him, and I have to pay attention to the movements of the Dongping Palace." ”

Shen Ruohua couldn't care less about being shy at this time, and raised his head to look at him: "You also think something is wrong?" I thought about what the reason why the lady of the Xinguo Mansion brought the second lady into the palace before. ”
