Wu Yi told Liu Ke about the matter as it was.

When Rong Yi returned to the palace, Liu Ke was talking to Yuye about it.

"She has been in the palace for many years, she has not seen anything, and she has long been accustomed to seeing life and death, so she doesn't feel anything when she does such a thing by herself."

Liu Ke sighed and said to Yuye.

"What's the matter, if you do too much, you don't feel it?" Rong Yi asked as soon as he entered the door.

When Liu Ke saw Rong Yi coming in, he didn't mention his previous words, but just smiled: "Where did you go for so long?" ”

Seeing this, Yuye hurriedly retreated.

"It's been a long time since I've been visiting Master, but today I'm at Master's place." Rong Yi said.

"Is it the master who taught you martial arts and medical skills?" Liu Ke asked with some curiosity.

Rong Yi nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"I'm really a little curious, what kind of person is your master, he can teach you, it seems that he is a very powerful person." Liu Ke said with a smile.

While they were talking, Yuye, who had just gone out, said outside the door: "The prince, the princess, the little girl at the gate of the courtyard came in, saying that someone from the palace came to pass the word, and the queen mother invited the princess to enter the palace to talk." ”

Liu Ke couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, the Queen Mother asked her to talk?

Now that the emperor has passed away, what else does she want to say to herself?

The Queen Mother has always been hostile to Liu Ke.

And this kind of hostility seems to have been there when I first met Liu Ke.

Therefore, since Liu Ke married Rong Yi, he will never enter the palace without entering the palace.

But. Today, the Queen Mother personally summoned her, if she can't excuse herself, she will be disrespectful, if the Queen Mother is more serious, then Liu Ke is resistant.

After thinking about it again, Liu Ke still planned to enter the palace by order.

Rong Yi was not at ease and said, "I'll accompany you to see the Queen Mother." ”

Liu Ke knew that this was not the time to be strong, and if Rong Yi went together, if there was anything, she would not be alone.

"Good. You come with me into the palace. ”

Nevertheless. Along the way, Liu Ke was still very apprehensive in his heart, constantly stroking his slightly bulging lower abdomen.

"What do you say the Queen Mother is looking for me?"

Liu Ke asked Rong Yi several times along the way.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Rong Yi sat in the car for a while and said to Liu Ke: "We won't enter the palace." Let's go back. ”

"It's all at the gate of the palace. And if you don't go in. I don't know what will happen to the Queen Mother," Speaking of this, Liu Ke smiled and continued: "I admit that I am more afraid of seeing her. But aren't you here today? It's going to be fine, now that the emperor is employing people, I think the queen mother will also take into account the emperor's situation. ”

Rong Yi nodded and didn't speak, but Liu Ke could see that Rong Yi seemed to be sulking.

He helped Liu Ke get out of the carriage, and as soon as he entered the palace gate, he was greeted by a leading eunuch, and learned that they were going to meet the queen mother, so he took them towards Cining Palace.

The funeral of Emperor Daxing has not yet ended, the queen mother and the concubines have moved to the back, and the queens and concubines of the current emperor have also moved into the palace.

When Rong Yi and Liu Ke arrived at the gate of Cining Palace, they heard faint laughter coming from inside.

It turned out that the Queen Mother did not only recruit Liu Ke into the palace, but also someone else here.

The maid at the gate of Cining Palace, after seeing Rong Yi and Liu Ke, said with a smile: "Lord Shizi, the Queen Mother only invited the princess into the palace to speak, and did not call the prince, I don't dare to bring the prince in, there are other ladies inside." ”

Rong Yi said expressionlessly: "Then you will pass it on for me, and say that Rong Yi, the prince of Chu, brought the princess to ask the queen mother for peace." ”

When the maid heard this, she smiled and went in to pass it on.

The laughter inside gradually stopped.

After a while, the maid walked out, still with a light smile on her face, and said to Rong Yi and Liu Ke: "Shizi, Shizifei, please inside!" ”

Rong Yi and Liu Ke seemed to look at each other, and walked in after the maid.

After entering the palace gate, Liu Ke and Rong Yi both knelt down and saluted.

"Get up!" The Queen Mother's voice was flat and unwavering, and she couldn't hear any joy or anger.

After Rong Yi and Liu Ke got up, they only heard the Queen Mother continue: "Chu Shizi is really Jinyi, and he actually knows that he loves his daughter-in-law, and he should have been messing with people outside at this time, but I didn't expect to enter the palace together." ”

After saying this, the Queen Mother seemed to smile, "If it weren't for the mourning family inviting your daughter-in-law into the palace, wouldn't you be ready to enter the palace to greet the mourning family?" ”

Rong Yi used to be good friends with Rong Ye, who was still the crown prince, so naturally he often saw the then queen Zheng.

Now it is the queen mother, and the current Rong Ye is not the former prince and royal brother, so Rong Yi naturally enters the palace less.

Rong Yi grinned and said: "I have always been a jumpy character, and if the first emperor passed away, I must still be sad for the queen mother, I am afraid that my coming will cause you to be sad, so I simply waited a few days to come." ”

The Queen Mother leaned back and smiled at the woman sitting under her: "Xiuzhen, the mourning family only thought that he had changed his previous temperament, but I didn't expect it to be the same as before, and it was the first time that the mourning family had heard of 'lazy' so high-sounding." ”

"What the Queen Mother said is that the prince is still as humorous as before."

When Liu Ke heard the word "Xiuzhen", he felt a little familiar, raised his head slightly, and looked at the Empress Dowager Zheng's hand, the person sitting firmly in the seat was not Xiao Xiuzhen, the maiden niece of the Empress Dowager, who else could it be.

The relationship between the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother has always been tense, but I didn't expect Xiao Xiuzhen to be able to sit in front of the Queen Mother at this time?

It's puzzling.

Rong Yi naturally recognized the person who was sitting in the Queen Mother, and after listening to Xiao Xiuzhen's words, he couldn't help but feel a burst of disgust in his heart.

At this time, I heard the queen mother say: "Leave your daughter-in-law to talk to the mourning family, you go to the emperor for a while, he is in front of the courtiers to discuss the war ahead, you also go and listen." ”

Rong Yi heard this, glanced at Liu Ke, and was about to speak, only to hear the Queen Mother say again: "Don't worry, since she is already our royal daughter-in-law, she is naturally a family with the Mourning family, what else do you have to worry about here in the Mourning Family, the Mourning Family only said a few words to her, and then let her go back, you don't sting the scorpion sting here anymore, you are still a man, you are so sticky to your daughter-in-law, but there are still people who like you." ”

As the Queen Mother spoke, she laughed first.

Rong Yi didn't think about it, since the Queen Mother had made a promise, if he didn't leave, he would be a little unable to say anything, so he had to retire.

After Rong Yi went down, the Queen Mother raised her voice and said, "Come on, give the princess a seat." ”

As soon as these words fell, a maid moved a round stool and placed it behind Liu Ke.

Liu Ke bowed and sat down.

As soon as she sat down, she heard the Queen Mother say to her, "I heard that you are pregnant." ”

The Queen Mother had a smile on her face, her eyebrows and eyes were bent shallowly, and her smile was a little cold.

Liu Ke hurriedly got up and replied: "Yes, thank you for the Queen Mother's concern." ”

The Queen Mother got the answer she wanted, deepened the smile on her face, and said: "This is really a happy event, your Chu Wangfu is not prosperous, you have to keep this baby well, don't have any accidents." ”

Liu Ke felt a little awkward no matter how she heard this, but she couldn't clearly brush off the Queen Mother's kindness, so she had to get up again and say, "Yes, remember the teachings of the Queen Mother." ”

"Hey, the mourning family is not teaching you, just caring about it." After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she smiled and said, "Can you let the imperial doctor in the palace diagnose the pulse?" What did the imperial doctor say, did you have any ideas, you don't have a mother, aunt or anything like that, and you don't have a serious mother-in-law, now that the old princess is old, you have to think about these things yourself. ”

Because Liu Ke knew that Rong Yi was proficient in medical science, she really hadn't asked the imperial doctor in the palace to take a look, but she didn't plan to say too much to the Queen Mother, she just got up and saluted and replied: "Thank you for your concern." ”

After saying this, he said no more.

Seeing this, although the Queen Mother was angry, she couldn't find a reason to have a seizure, "You sit and talk, don't fall together, if something really happens, Rong Yi may not know how to make a fuss at that time." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Liu Ke thanked him and sat on the round stool.

At this time, I only heard Xiao Xiuzhen say sourly: "The princess is honest, it seems that she won't say anything else except 'thank you to the queen mother', it stands to reason that the princess is the daughter-in-law of the royal family, and she should be closer to the queen mother than me, why do I see the princess so restrained." ”

Liu Ke disdained to reason with Xiao Xiuzhen, so he only pretended to be shy and bowed his head and said nothing.

"Okay, you think all women are as heartless as you." The Queen Mother scolded Xiao Xiuzhen.

Xiao Xiuzhen said coquettishly: "What the Queen Mother said is that Xiuzhen's temperament can't be changed in this life, so she is destined to suffer a lifetime." ”

Xiao Xiuzhen, who was still talking and laughing just now, at this time, with a smile on her face, picked up the handkerchief under her armpit and wiped her tears.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother said with a sad face: "Okay, you are not sad, the mourning family naturally knows your difficulties." ”

At this time, I only heard the Queen Mother say again: "You have suffered for so many years, and you can be regarded as the right husband's family, in the future, you just listen to the words of the mourning family, and you will definitely not let you suffer losses in this regard." ”

Liu Ke listened to them talking back and forth in front of him, and remembered the words of the Queen Mother in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but tense for a while.

I don't understand the purpose of the Queen Mother looking for her today.

"If Xiuzhen can live a good life in the second half of her life, she will pray to the Queen Mother every day, praying for the Queen Mother's longevity and health." After listening to the Queen Mother's words, Xiao Xiuzhen put away the tears in her eyes and said with a smile.

"Don't say that you are the niece and granddaughter of the Empress Dowager, with your caring temperament, the mourning family will not wronged you." When the Queen Mother said this, her face was facing Xiao Xiuzhen, but her eyes looked at Liu Ke, who was silent.

If at this time, Liu Ke still doesn't understand the Queen Mother's intentions, then she is a fool. (To be continued......)
