Chapter 168: Visiting the Queen Mother

"Mother, Jin'an! Hail to the little lord! ”

The gatekeepers of Shou'an Palace saw Feng Luoli and Cao Zhongshi, and bowed and saluted.

"Niangniang came to visit the Queen Mother, go and report!" Cao Zhongshi glanced at the palace people and said solemnly.

The palace people were stunned, didn't someone already notify them yesterday? The palace people in the palace all knew that the queen was coming, and they had already greeted them with twelve points of spirit, so why should they report it again.

"Why don't you go yet?!" Cao Zhongshi saw that the palace people did not move but looked at him suspiciously, and couldn't help but tone coldly.

"Yes, yes, yes! Slave, this is the Queen Mother! ”

Feng Luoli looked at the eunuch who ran like a rabbit and went to report disapprovingly, and looked at Cao Zhongshi, whose face was a little ugly, no matter what, she had some concern for the Empress Dowager Chang. But when the Empress Dowager Chang was snubbed, she also secretly helped. Although it didn't have much effect, after all, her mind was not bad.

"Let's go! Presumably the Queen Mother is still taking a nap, so let's go in slowly. Feng Luoli stretched out her hand and patted Cao Zhongshi, just because she didn't want Feng Luoli to know that she was still related to Empress Dowager Chang.

In any case, Cao Zhongshi is not a big traitor, she also did her best in the previous Qingmo matter, and this time she came to tell her that she can go to the Queen Mother in the future, and she doesn't have to deliberately hide her eyes.

Cao Zhongshi looked at Feng Luoli, his eyes flashed with gratitude, and he replied softly: "Yes!" Empress! ”

Knowing that Feng Luoli was coming, Empress Dowager Chang was not much surprised, since she forbade enough to come to visit the people who came to visit except Cao Zhongshi, it was Feng Luoli. Although she didn't come here like she did today, if she hadn't secretly confessed, I was afraid that the people in the palace would treat her harshly.

Of course, I also know that Feng Luoli didn't have much intention to come to her this time, if it weren't for Lin Jinlu, who was still obedient and loyal to her, I am afraid that there would not be this today.

"Erchen see the Queen Mother!" "The concubine sees the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an!"

When she arrived at the main hall, the Empress Dowager Chang was already sitting in the right seat and waiting. After the ceremony, Feng Luoli and Cao Zhongshi sat down in different seats. The last time I saw the Empress Dowager Chang should have been a few months ago, at that time, although she was quite kind to her, but she was resentful in her heart, and there was no lack of unwillingness between her words. And now she is wearing a blue dark embroidered bird and a phoenix splendid dress. He sat there with a solemn expression. Although his expression is old and difficult to hide, his complexion is much better. Previously, Yue Linglong's medicine made her look more youthful and actually stimulated her physical limit, in short, it was a dry and fishing.

If it weren't for the fact that Imperial Physician Zhou Yu, who had served Empress Dowager Chang before, would have known the reason, Feng Luoli would probably never have understood the pain of Empress Dowager Chang knowing that her face was decaying and not reproaching Yue Linglong for swallowing the bitter fruit like this.

"Today I have time to come to see the mourners. It's really hard for you. ”

Empress Dowager Chang glanced at Feng Luoli lightly, took a sip of the tea offered by Yi Rong, and the slightly pulled corners of her lips showed that her mouth and nose lines were getting thicker.

"Queen Mother...... Cao Zhongshi turned his head to serve tea and inadvertently paid attention to Feng Luoli's expression, and then looked at the Queen Mother with a quiet face, and deliberately suppressed her voice and said: "Concubines should serve from time to time. The Queen Mother's words made us not know how to adapt. ”

"Humph!" Empress Dowager Chang sneered, "If everyone is as leisurely as Cao Zhongshi, and has never served the king, it is really time to abide by this morning and dusk etiquette." ”

Cao Zhongshi's face couldn't help but stiffen, he didn't expect that Empress Dowager Chang would be so mercilessly mocking her for being unfavored, being the head of a palace, but in fact it was just a cold palace with more people.

Feng Luoli took a sip of the tea on the table next to her, lowered her head and pretended to arrange her wrinkled sleeves, and said quietly: "The Queen Mother listens, we should listen respectfully." However, Erchen felt that Cao Zhongshi was His Majesty's concubine anyway. Although there is no favor at the moment, it can be regarded as submissive and soft, and it is quite favored. Besides, there is such a thing as grace, as long as the position is still there and the person is still beautiful, there is no need to care too much about the grace of this moment. Grace is fleeting, so why can't you stay long? The Queen Mother has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she is most deeply touched by this, right? ”

This overt ridicule and sarcasm, Empress Dowager Chang didn't really care, only smiled slightly, "That's it." You're getting to the point. Then he glanced at Cao Zhongshi, whose face had slightly improved, and said in a deep voice: "Cao Zhongshi, didn't you ask the mourning family for some embroidery patterns last time?" Yirong took Cao Zhongshi to the warehouse to find it and see if there was anything Cao Zhongshi liked. ”

Cao Zhongshi was stunned. immediately stood up and saluted, "Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother, the concubine will retire first!" Then he looked at Feng Luoli and bowed.

After Yirong retreated with Cao Zhongshi, Empress Dowager Chang looked at Feng Luoli, "You are probably here today for Lin Jinlu!" ”

"It's too conceitful. Sons admire! "The Empress Dowager Chang was blunt, and Feng Luoli naturally didn't beat around the bend, "The gift of the hand-cast gold man is approaching, and the sons want to borrow the Gonggong Lin who serves by the Queen Mother's side, and ask the Queen Mother for permission." ”

Empress Dowager Chang smiled and nodded slightly, "You're direct!" Jin Lu has served the mourning family for many years, so he naturally has some affection. But if you want to borrow it, it's not that you can't, but there are a few things here in the mourning family I don't know if you can agree? ”

"Queen Mother, please speak!"

Empress Dowager Chang was a little surprised by Feng Luoli's dryness, but she didn't hesitate much, and said: "This first case is Cao Zhongshi, the mourning family doesn't ask her to be pampered, but she should also rely on Ronghua worry-free." ”

Feng Luoli pursed her lips and smiled, "Didn't the Empress Dowager already remind her?" What's more, Cao Zhongshi is the serious master of this harem, if he doesn't get involved in disputes, how can he lose his glory? ! ”

"This second is the ...... of the mourning family" The Empress Dowager Chang quite self-deprecatingly swept around her Shou'an Palace, the grounding for nearly half a year has almost become a cold place, without the emperor's favor, she is just a superfluous existence in this harem, "The mourning family does not want real power, but it must belong to the honor of the queen mother." ”

"In Your Majesty's heart, the Queen Mother is still the Queen Mother of this harem." Feng Luoli said and looked at the Empress Dowager Chang, "The Empress Dowager has worked hard and made great achievements, and she should enjoy the honor she deserves." ”

Empress Dowager Chang nodded, "The mourning family also knows that these two things are not difficult for you. But if you can't answer this third account, the mourners can't rely on you. ”

"Oh? I'd like to hear it. ”

Empress Dowager Chang looked directly at Feng Luoli, her eyes were filled with incomprehensible emotions, "If you ascend to the throne of the queen, Yue Linglong behaves badly or commits an unforgivable crime in the future, and the mourning family wants you to do your best to spare her life." ”

Feng Luoli looked at the Empress Dowager Chang puzzled, "The Empress Dowager said ......" (to be continued.) )
