Chapter 13: Goodbye to the Queen (1)
Liang Naixin was summoned by Concubine Qing, Xiao Yu was summoned by Jinshang, and Du Yunjin, who passed through the Imperial Garden, was summoned by the queen.
It's still the same cold palace, quiet, as if it has been on the snow-capped mountains for a long time, not close to the fireworks in the world.
Du Yunjin was a little disgusted with this palace, feeling that it was like a huge mouth, emitting the stench of dead corpses from the inside out, ready to devour the prey that accidentally fell into it anytime and anywhere.
Yan Hui was allowed to enter the palace with Du Yunjin this time, which is different from the luxury of the East Palace, which is as streamlined as possible, but still elegant and extraordinary in the subtleties.
The curtain made of beads from the East China Sea was lifted high, and Xiao Chen, who was sitting on the top seat, was beaten by the palace maid, and the incense burner lit next to her burned rich sandalwood.
"The daughter-in-law greets the queen mother." Du Yunjin was supported by the wild goose and saluted gracefully.
"Get up," Xiao Chen waved his hand lazily, and asked Biwen beside him to come forward to greet him. "Sit down with the Queen Mother."
Maybe it was because of her father's entrustment before leaving, or maybe it was because she was given a "dream break" by Xiao Chen's before, so now, no matter how hot Xiao Chen's watch is, she feels trembling and frightened, and she can't let go of her defense. Ke Biwen personally stepped forward to help, and she had no reason to refuse, so she had to sit next to Xiao Chen obediently.
"Queen Mother, is that her?"
Suddenly, a clear voice came, and Du Yunjin looked up in astonishment, it was really Xiao Shaokang, the king of Yu.
His gaze was unconcealed, and he fell on Du Yunjin's face and looked left and right. This kind of behavior is really a bit rampant, Du Yunjin turned his face sideways and coughed lightly twice as a reminder.
Xiao Chen didn't think so, she looked at Xiao Shaokang with a doting smile and nodded at him silently. Xiao Shaokang's face showed some unclear expressions, as if he was amazed, stunned and admired.
"I heard you were sick not long ago?" Xiao Chen took the candied fruit handed by Biwen, and casually chatted with Du Yunjin.
For her questioning, Du Yunjin didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. After Xiao Yu's arrangement, now the whole palace knows that she is disgusted by the prince, and everyone knows that she was designed by the prince and fell from a horse and was injured, but Xiao Chen only asked her if she was sick as if she didn't know about it. What is the reason for this, Du Yunjin is still unclear, so he has to answer carefully.
"The daughter-in-law made the queen mother worried, the daughter-in-law first entered the imperial capital, some of them were not adapted, and a few days ago they were greedy and cold, but now they have all improved."
Xiao Chen glanced at her, and the answer was still good, she was a smart woman. The news that the prince wanted to kill his wife under the pretext of killing his wife spread widely, and she thought that Du Yunjin would at least sue her. In this way, there will be a lot of excitement in the palace.
"Just the wind chill?" Xiao Chen looked at Du Yunjin with concern and said softly: "It's also strange that this palace has not taught the prince well, so that he has become like this, but you have been wronged." ”
How did she say this, Du Yunjin hurriedly buried her head and didn't let her see her true feelings. Xiao Chen has always favored the prince, if it weren't for her, the position of the prince would have changed hands long ago, but what she said just now seemed to be about to provoke trouble! If you are really good for the prince, you must be down the stairs given by yourself at this time, how can you have something to say in the conversation and deliberately provoke it?
Seeing that Du Yunjin didn't speak, Xiao Chen fiddled with the tea cup in his hand, which was particularly harsh in the silent hall. The atmosphere began to be awkward, and Biwen raised her eyes and swept around before she stepped forward cautiously and asked softly: "Niangniang, your tea is cold, the slave maid will help you change it." ”
