I was stunned for a moment, wondering why the queen had suddenly summoned me to the palace.

Aunt Yuyuan said with a smile on her face: "Concubine Fang, I'm waiting for you here." ”

It seems that I can't go anymore.

I wondered if the princess knew about it?

Since Aunt Yuyuan and her sisters have entered the palace, the princess must know, but the princess knows that she can't save me, not to mention that I don't have any friendship with the princess, she won't save me, even the queen's order she can't disobey.

Aunt Yuyuan looked at me differently and said, "I didn't go to the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet last time, and I heard Princess Xiang say that the concubine was sick, and the queen was very worried. ”

I see.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

asked Aunt Yuyuan to wait for a while, turned around and went into the house to change into dignified clothes, and followed Aunt Yuyuan out of the palace.

When I left the house, I saw the princess, and she looked at me with a look of concern, but she didn't say anything.

I got into the carriage, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong.

King Xiang is not from the queen, I am a side concubine of King Xiang, why does the queen care about me? Could it be that I am pleasing the queen? How is this possible? I haven't seen the queen a few times.

Several palace banquets and festivals, I followed Zhao Luoyu and the princess into the palace, followed the princess and knelt down to the emperor and the queen to bow and salute.

The empress was high up and sat beside the emperor. Although she is over forty years old, she has a luxurious temperament and is very well maintained, and she looks like she is twenty-eight or nineteen years old. Every time I want to ask her what secret recipe she uses to keep her youth forever. Of course, I didn't have that opportunity.

The queen's surname is Shen, and she is the sister of Prime Minister Shen, so that night Shen Xiang'er cried and wanted to enter the palace and begged her to be the queen's aunt.

The queen has her own child, that is, the eldest prince Zhao Luoxuan, I can still understand that the queen summoned Zhao Luoxuan's side concubine, and the queen summoned me, I can't figure it out.

However, since Aunt Yuyuan said that the queen summoned me because she didn't see me at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet that day, I was a little relieved.

All the way into the palace gate, the high palace wall is higher than the Xiangwang Mansion I don't know how much, I can't help but think, I am already depressed in the palace, the walls of the palace have framed the sky into a boxy, this palace is so high, what does the sky frame look like?

Thinking like this, I looked up and saw that the high walls of the palace on both sides had cut the sky into a long strip, and I could not see even a complete cloud, and I could not help sighing......

Such a long and square sky is really much different from the sky outside with fireworks.

followed Aunt Yuyuan all the way to Zhaoyang Palace. This is the Queen's bedchamber, and this is my first time here.

As soon as I entered the gate of Zhaoyang Palace, I saw the white jade paving the ground, embedded with pearls, the ground was chiseled into a peony pattern, the flowers became in full bloom, the petals were fresh and enchanting, I looked carefully, and found that even the stamens were delicate and could be seen, which was extremely exquisite.

Ascend the Zhaoyang Hall to walk through a short section of stairs, the two sides of the stairs are full of peony-style lanterns, the peony lamp stand is also carved from white jade, transparent and gorgeous and elegant, although it is daytime now, but the lamp is also lit.

There seems to be some spices in the lamp, and I feel that the fragrance is lingering all the way, which makes people intoxicated.

Aunt Yuyuan led me to the door of Zhaoyang Palace, she pushed the door open, I looked into the door, the sandalwood in the hall is the beam, the crystal lamps on both sides, the pearl is the curtain, the gold edge jade is the ground, a phoenix chair in the middle, there are two palace maids standing on both sides of the chair, one holding a fan, and one hanging a sword from the waist.

The two palace maids were expressionless and motionless, almost making me think that the two of them were two wax figures.

I stood in the middle of the temple, and for a moment I could say that I was stunned. The queen is worthy of being a queen, and even this dormitory is majestic.

"Niangniang-" Aunt Yuyuan called softly, "Concubine Jiang has arrived." ”

As soon as the figure behind the screen moved, I saw the queen turn out from behind the screen in a plain robe.

I hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed: "Queen Mother Wan'an, Xiangwang's side concubine Jiang family to see Niangniang." ”

I lowered my head, not daring to look up at the queen, when I heard a lazy voice, "Get up." ”

That's when I got to my feet.

The queen sat down in a chair, and then said to Aunt Yuyuan, "Give me a seat." ”

I sat down next to me, not daring to look at the queen, so I had to keep my head down.

"During the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, Yan'er said that you are sick, I thought that it had been half a month, and it should be better." At this time, the queen spoke as if the elders of ordinary families were caring for the younger generations.

I hurriedly replied: "Thank you for the queen's thoughts, the concubines are all fine." ”

The queen smiled, her tone languid and gentle, "This is the first time you've spoken to me, right?" I used to follow Yan'er, and I haven't heard you speak. ”

The queen's words were extremely natural, as if she had asked this sentence very unintentionally. But I can't answer casually, I can't say that my identity does not allow me to speak on important occasions, because then it will appear that I am dissatisfied with my status as a side concubine, and I am suspected of coveting the position of princess.

I thought for a moment and replied: "Back to the queen's mother, the concubine is stupid, but fortunately she has the princess to take care of her, otherwise I am afraid that there will be a lot of jokes." ”

The queen said "um......", "Luo Yu is so blessed to have the three of you by his side." ”

I was still very nervous about talking to the queen so face-to-face, for fear that I would get into trouble by saying the wrong sentence, and I had to think about every sentence, which can be said to be very tiring.

But the queen always smiled and looked very easy-going, which made me relax a lot.

After talking to the queen for a while, it was almost time for lunch, and the queen ordered the people to start preparing for the meal.

Sharing lunch with the queen was something I had never thought of, and I was careful the whole time.

Halfway through the meal, the queen said: "During the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, fortunately you were sick and not there, otherwise, you would definitely be frightened when you saw the poisoned appearance of the eighteen princes." ”

My brains tightened, and my heart said, why did the queen mention this? This is ...... Isn't it already in the past?

I couldn't help but talk to the queen, so I could only echo and say: "The concubine has also heard about it, it is indeed quite terrifying." ”

"At that time, the matter also involved Luo Yu, and I was also worried about it. But fortunately, the real culprit behind the scenes has been found. "The queen is talking about it as if she were talking about family life.

I don't know what the queen meant by saying this, and I don't dare to talk about the events of the day, so I have to echo the past.

"I heard that Luo Yu is very fond of Xiang'er......"

I said in my heart, Queen Mother, isn't this an obvious thing? The people in the entire capital know that Zhao Luoyu dotes on Shen Xiang'er, and knows that the two of them are two hearts, don't say you don't know! Shen Xiang'er is your niece, can you not know?
