Seeing the visitor, Xiao Nansheng let go of Qu Wurong's hand, walked to the woman's side and whispered, "Didn't I say that I didn't need to come to greet me?" You're pregnant, why are you still running around? ”

"The concubine didn't come to greet you, but she just came out for a walk and happened to pass by here, and I heard that the lord of the country had returned, so I came to take a look." After the woman finished speaking softly, she turned her gaze to the person not far away, "Is this girl the new lady the king marries?" ”

Xiao Nansheng followed her gaze and glanced at Qu Wurong and nodded, "Hmm." After a pause, he continued: "She came all the way to our Bailiao country alone, you have to take more care of her in the future." ”

"That's nature!" The woman smiled and responded, then walked past him to Qu Wurong, and introduced herself generously: "My name is Xiao Qiao'er, what about you?" ”

She also has the surname Xiao? Hearing her name, Qu Wurong was slightly stunned, subconsciously looked at Xiao Nansheng, and saw that his expression was indifferent, so she suppressed the doubts in her heart and replied: "My name is Qu Wurong." ”

"Then I'll call you Sister Qu in the future." Xiao Qiao'er said and took her hand, "You are new to the city, you are not very familiar with the qiqi here, if you encounter anything in the future, you can let people come to me, I live in Fengqi Palace, if you are fine, you can also come to play with me." ”

When she said this, her eyes flashed with sincerity, and Qu Wurong was also infected by her enthusiasm, and nodded, "Okay." ”

"Okay, it's not too late to say anything later!" Seeing that they had already met, Xiao Nansheng stepped forward and pulled Xiao Qiao'er to his side, "How long have you been out?" ”

Xiao Qiao'er pursed her mouth, "It won't be long, it's just a moment." ”

Xiao Nansheng naturally refused to believe her words, so she set her eyes on the palace maid behind her, who pretended not to see her master's eyes, and replied truthfully: "If you return to the country, the mother has been out for nearly an hour!" ”

"Didn't the Imperial Doctor say that you want to recuperate during this time? Why don't you listen at all? Hearing the palace maid's words, Xiao Nansheng's face sank suddenly, "Let's go, I'll send you back!" ”

was pulled away by him without saying anything, Xiao Qiao'er was angry and anxious, and when she turned her face, she caught a glimpse of Qu Wurong who was still standing in place, and hurriedly said: "Lord of the country, it's not good for you to leave Sister Qu alone!" ”

After her reminder, Xiao Nansheng remembered that he had brought back a person, and stopped and instructed the two palace maids who were following Qu Wurong: "You two take her to Yuxin Palace, and stay there to serve in the future." ”

"Yes, Lord of the Kingdom!" The two palace maids hurriedly agreed, watching him and Xiao Qiao'er's figure drift away, and then said to Qu Wurong beside him: "Madam, let's go too?" ”

Qu Wurong nodded, "Hmm." ”

Yuxin Palace was located in the south of the Bailiao Imperial Palace, not far from where they were currently located, so the three of them arrived after walking for a while. The palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were all performing their duties, and when they walked in, the eunuch guarding the door greeted them with great eyes and asked, "Is it the new lady?" ”

The two palace maids nodded, "The lord of the country has an order, and from now on, the new lady will live here." ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, the little eunuch hurriedly saluted, and then made a "please" gesture to Qu Wurong, "Madam, please come in, the servants in this hall have already been cleaned up a few days ago!" ”

Qu Wurong didn't speak, just nodded, and followed a few people into Yuxin Palace.

The area of this Yuxin Palace is not very large, and the environment looks very quiet, but Qu Wurong has been running on the road for nearly a month, and he is not in the mood to enjoy the scenery in this palace at this time, so he went directly to rest after asking where the dormitory is.

The two palace maids served her all the way, and they already knew some of her habits, so they took off her clothes and put on looser and comfortable clothes, knowing that she wanted to rest and did not stay in the dormitory longer, they packed up her changed clothes and prepared to leave.

Just as they were about to go outside the dormitory, Qu Wurong stopped them again, "Since you two will stay with me in the future, I don't know what your names are!" ”

Although these two palace maids were taking care of her food and clothing all the way, but because of the bad mood, she didn't ask their names, and when she arrived here, she thought that she would need them to help her take care of her daily affairs in the future, so she felt that it was so inconvenient not to know the names of the two people!

After the two palace maids glanced at each other, it was the palace maid on the left who answered her, "If Mrs. Hui speaks, the slave's name is Huang Li, and her name is Huang Ying." ”

After getting the answer he wanted, Qu Wurong didn't say anything more, and waved his hand at them, "Okay, I know, you guys go down first." ”

After Huang Li and Huang Ying left the dormitory, Qu Wurong lay down on the soft and comfortable big bed, and after nearly a month of bumpy on the road, she was very unaccustomed to eating and sleeping, and the whole person had reached the limit, so after finally reaching her destination at this time, she just wanted to have a good rest.

But after lying on the bed, Qu Wurong found that she didn't feel sleepy at all, as soon as she closed her eyes, she couldn't help but think of Tiandu City, which was thousands of miles away, thinking of the two people who made her worry the most, I don't know if they were doing well in the nearly a month since they left?

Once the long-suppressed longing broke out, it was like a flood that broke the embankment and instantly submerged her, and she curled up a little unbearably, and fell asleep unconsciously in this position.

When she woke up, almost an hour had passed, Qu Wurong slowly sat up from the bed, because she had maintained a position for too long, her hands and feet were stiff and sore, so she was not in a hurry to get out of bed, but waited until her hands and feet recovered a little and could stretch before she lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

As soon as he walked out of the dormitory, he faintly heard the sound of someone talking, Qu Wurong walked over to take a look, it turned out that Huang Li and Huang Ying were talking together, and there were several large boxes with open lids in front of them, Qu Wurong glanced at them, and found that they were filled with gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin and other things.

"Ma'am, are you awake?" Huang Ying saw her first, and hurriedly put down the things in her hand and greeted her, "Are you hungry?" Do you want a slave or maid to pass the meal? ”

Don't use dinner time at this time, and Qu Wurong just slept well, so he didn't feel hungry at this time, so he shook his head gently, looked at the boxes in front of him and asked, "Where did these things come from?" ”

"The lord of the country just sent someone to send it." Before Huang Ying could speak, Huang Li, who was standing next to her, hurriedly replied, "Madame just entered the palace today, and the lord of the country said to send these things to use first, and if you have any other needs, you can tell the people from the Internal Affairs Office at any time, and then let them send them." ”

Hearing her words, Qu Wurong nodded clearly, and was no longer interested in these things in front of him, walked to the chair next to him and sat down, and asked, "Is there tea?" ”

Before coming here, Qu Wurong had also learned some customs and habits of the Bailiao Kingdom, and knew that they usually didn't like to drink tea very much, but replaced it with wine or something similar to goat's milk.

"Yes!" Huang Ying nodded when she heard this, "Before Commander Xu left, he specially handed me a bag of tea, saying that it was Madame's favorite drink, so I will go and make it for Madame." With that, he hurried out.

However, after Qu Wurong heard her words, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Of course she wouldn't think that Xu Ke, who usually didn't even see her a few times, would remember what tea she liked to drink, and specially left tea for Huang Ying and them before leaving, it should have been Shen Wu'an's special order for him, thinking of the person who was thousands of miles away, her heart couldn't help but pinch up.

In order to divert her attention, she began to chat with Huang Li: "By the way, the person we met when we came in just now, what is her identity in this palace?" ”

She could see that the demeanor between Xiao Nansheng and Xiao Qiaoer was very intimate, and it should be husband and wife, but "Xiao" was the national surname of Bailiao Kingdom, and both of them had this surname, which rarely aroused her curiosity.

"The people you met when you came in?" Huang Li tilted her head to look at her, not understanding who she was asking, but they met a lot of people after they entered the palace!

Seeing her dazed look, Qu Wurong directly singled out: "It's the woman named Xiao Qiao'er." ”

"Ahh As soon as her words fell, she heard Huang Li scream, and then looked around nervously, and then said to Qu Wurong: "Madam just entered the palace today, it's not an exaggeration to know, but in the future, you must not call the queen by her name!" ”

The Queen's Mother?

This answer made Qu Wurong feel very surprised, she also thought that Xiao Qiao'er was just an ordinary concubine of Xiao Nansheng, because she was favored by Xiao Nansheng, so she would be crowned with the surname of the country, but she didn't expect that she would be the queen of Bailiao!

Seeing that she stopped talking in a daze, Huang Li thought that she was frightened by herself, and hurriedly added: "But don't worry about Madame, the queen's temper has always been very good, and she seems to like Madame very much, so she shouldn't count Madame's unintentional mistakes." ”

Qu Wurong also recovered from the shock at this time, and nodded, "I know." ”

"By the way, although the queen has a good temper, but she is pregnant now, and the lord of the country doesn't let her work, so Mrs. Yu is helping to take care of the affairs in the palace, she is not as easy to talk as the queen mother!" Now that he has opened the chatterbox, Huang Li simply said everything he knew, so as not to cause trouble for himself by accidentally bumping into someone when he first arrived.

Lady Jade? Hearing such a title come out of her mouth, Qu Wurong also remembered the question that he almost ignored, "I've always wanted to ask you, why do you all call me Madame?" ”

Hearing her ask, Huang Li's face showed a strange look, as if she didn't understand why she asked such a question, "You are the newly married wife of the lord of the country, what do you want to call if the slave doesn't call your wife?" ”

"Then in your place, are all the wives of the lord of the kingdom called 'Madame'?" Qu Wurong asked again.

"Yes!" Although she didn't understand, Huang Li still answered her question truthfully, "Except for the queen mother, the other wives of the lord are called Mrs. ”

After getting her affirmative answer, Qu Wurong finally understood, it turned out that in the harem of Bailiao Kingdom, there were only two ranks, the queen and the lady, and unlike Da Liang, the concubines were also like officials in the court, with various different ranks.
