Chapter 14: Hiding a knife in a smile

The next day

The queen sent a lot of valuables, but she just wanted people to see if I was deliberately pretending to be sick and didn't want to see her.

After everyone was gone, I jumped up from the bed, and the sick appearance I had just now was gone.

Not to mention, this queen is generous, the items sent are rare treasures, hard to find in the world, just the night pearl is the size of a human head, green and bright, so beautiful; Placed on a dragon-shaped pedestal with an all-over silver glitter.

In addition to these rare treasures, there are also a lot of elixir supplements, such as century-old ginseng, cordyceps sinensis and the like, which directly pressed a whole large box.

"Miss, these things...... Do we accept it? Su Mu asked.

Whether to accept it or not, this is indeed a problem, I pinched it and considered it again and again, before I spoke: "How can I have a reason to return this aunt's gift, if I don't accept it, I won't accept it!" ”

Drinking the tea in the teacup, he muttered to himself: "Don't you want to see me, okay, I will follow your wishes, I want to see what kind of medicine you sell in your gourd!" ”

When Su Mu heard this, he glanced back at me and said with some worry: "Miss, do you really want to enter the palace to see the queen?" ”

"It's not okay if you don't go, the hell knows what she's up to, and it's not a way to avoid her all the time." I sighed lightly and looked at Su Mu again: "You prepare, and you will enter the palace with me later." ”

Su Mu knows more than me, and with her by her side, he can also take care of him. I thought to myself.

As soon as the picture turned, at this time in the Kunning Palace, the queen mother was sitting on the phoenix chair, looking to be in her thirties, and she was born with a lot of manners. Wearing a dragon and phoenix pearl crown, wearing a red background inscription Xia Feng robe, the sleeves are embroidered with gold dragon and phoenix patterns at both ends, the coat is Xia Wei, under the red Luo long skirt, and the feet are brocade phoenix shoes.

In front of her, there was a group of people kneeling down, it was the guards who gave gifts to the prince's mansion this morning, all with cold faces, at first glance, they were Lian Jiazi, but in front of this queen in her early thirties, she didn't even dare to breathe, and they all knelt there quietly, waiting for Queen Xiao's speech.

"How is the crown princess?" She held a white-haired short-eared cat in her arms and asked calmly, as if she was casually mentioning.

"Looking sick like that, it does look like she is seriously ill, but according to our spies, she is very lively in the prince's mansion, which is completely different from what we see." One of the guards replied.

"You're pretending to be sick, huh?" Empress Xiao glanced up.

"That's true."

Empress Xiao sneered, "This princess is so bold, the palace invited her to come over for a talk, but she is so ignorant of what to do, and she excuses herself with a serious illness." ”

She smiled so coldly that the guards kneeling on the ground shivered unconsciously, and one of the guards raised his head and asked timidly: "Empress, what should we do next?" ”

Empress Xiao's slender jade hand caressed the pet in her arms, as if she was thinking about something, and finally raised her hand and ordered: "Don't act rashly, keep an eye on her for the time being, and the palace will know how she gets along with the prince." ”

"Subordinates take orders!"

The picture returns to the Prince's Mansion.

After lunch, I had the carriage ready to enter the palace.

The first time I went to see the queen, of course, it was impossible to leave empty-handed, but who is the queen, the master of the harem, and the mother of the world. People who sit in such an identity naturally have a higher vision than others, how can she look at ordinary things.

"Send spices, that's something that the powerful will like." Su Mu suggested.

The two of them came to the warehouse of the Prince's Mansion, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw a pile of spices placed on the side.

"Someone, put this batch of spices on the wagon for me."

After loading, I was about to set off when I was stopped by a voice.

This is a middle-aged man in a copper coin robe with a black background, with an obese figure, who looks to be in his forties, with a mustache, and looks like a calculating person.

This person is the butler of the Prince's Mansion - Tian Lu.

"Steward Tian, what are you stopping me from?" I asked, opening the curtain of the carriage.

"Crown Princess, you can't take this batch of spices." Tian Lu bowed and said, "This batch of spices was specially ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the Western Regions, and you can't take it." ”

I waved my hand, "Isn't this the purpose of this spice?" He doesn't use it in the warehouse himself, I'm making the best use of it, it's fine. ”

"However, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks...... Tian Lu looked embarrassed, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"If he wants to ask, just say that I took it, let him tell me himself, he won't embarrass you, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." I raised my hand and asked the coachman to head towards the palace.

The second time I entered the palace, I saw the magnificent buildings again, and I was not as shocked as the first time.

With a squint of his eyes, he had already come to the front of Kunning Palace.

As soon as he came, he was stopped by several guards in front of the palace, and Su Mu stepped forward, "Please inform me that the princess has come to meet the queen." ”

After a while, the guards came out of the main hall: "The queen is invited, please come in." ”

Although I had prepared in my heart, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this moment, and I walked up the stairs step by step, and the anxiety in my heart deepened a lot.

Entering the main hall, under Su Mu's reminder, I quickly knelt down and saluted: "Zhimo to meet the queen mother." ”

Empress Xiao sat on the phoenix chair and beckoned again and again, "I finally see my Zhimo day and night, hurry up and sit next to my aunt, so that my aunt can take a good look." ”

I got up and walked towards Empress Xiao, sat down on the soft chair, and finally felt a lot more relaxed.

It was only then that I discovered that the fragrance of this Kunning Palace was overflowing, and when I smelled it carefully, I found that this fragrance actually came from the queen.

When I entered the hall just now, I kept looking down at my feet, and I didn't dare to look up at her.

Although this Queen Xiao is past middle age, she is very well maintained, with curved eyebrows and plump cheeks, thousands of manners, wearing a dragon and phoenix bead crown, a phoenix robe with a splendid inscription, and accompanied by a pattern of phoenix clouds and auspicious clouds.

She was obviously a little surprised by my arrival, with a smile on her face, and said in a concerned tone: "Zhimo, I heard yesterday that you had an old illness, why don't you recuperate for a few more days before getting out of bed?" ”

What you said sounds good, if I didn't want to see what kind of medicine you were selling in your gourd, I wouldn't have bothered to come to you. I muttered in my heart. But he still responded with a smile: "Yesterday, my aunt came to me, but I didn't expect the old illness to break out, so I had to hurry back to the house to take medicine. ”

"Human life is at stake, how can my aunt blame you." Empress Xiao stretched out her finger and nodded on my forehead, and sighed lightly: "The prince's heart is that the palace knows that he must have suffered a lot of grievances when he married to the prince's mansion, in the final analysis, it is the fault of the palace, and he failed to dissuade the emperor from canceling the marriage contract, you won't blame your aunt, right?" ”

It's really hypocritical enough, I almost raised my eyebrows and punched my face, I heard Su Mu say, when the emperor was married, you still applauded, and you still dissuaded the emperor, I see that you are sorry for yourself if you don't add a fire to it!

Although I was angry in my heart, I didn't lose my mind, after all, I was now wearing a brocade robe, and I was in this deep palace of the imperial court, if I really punched it, the consequences would be really unimaginable, and it was definitely not something I could afford.

"Don't blame it, how can you blame my aunt for this." I replied with a smile, "Besides, I haven't suffered any grievances in the Prince's Mansion, so Li Hanyan is not bad to me, aunt, you can rest assured." ”

Empress Xiao snorted and laughed, "You, you, in front of this palace, you still know how to say good things for your husband, did he bully you, can you still know in this palace?" But now that the two of you are married, you will have to support each other in the future, you know? ”

"What my aunt said is that Zhimo understands." I hurriedly answered.

Empress Xiao glanced at me deeply, "It's good to understand, you have the blood of two generations of princes, and the Xue Mansion depends on you to glorify your ancestors, you have to seize the opportunity, and you must not be rash." ”

What about the glory of the ancestors, my roots are in the fairy world and not in the mortal world, how the future of their Xue Mansion is their own business, what does it have to do with me? Maybe one day I will clap my hands and leave as soon as I cross the love robbery, what else are you talking about glorifying your ancestors?

But he still replied verbally: "What my aunt said is true." ”

Empress Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said, "The prince's mansion is only half an hour's journey to here, you can come to the palace more often, chat with the palace, and by the way, tell the prince about the palace in the palace, and my aunt will give you advice here." ”

I couldn't help but be stunned, good guy, I knew at a glance that you didn't have a good mind, and said a lot, it turned out that I wanted to get the details of Li Hanyan from me.

Empress Xiao patted me on the shoulder meaningfully: "Zhimo, you are a smart person, you should also know the current situation, the old people in the Liangliao Mansion are all foolish and loyal, and they will inevitably decline in the future, take my son to the throne in the future, do you think he will keep the Xue Mansion?" ”

"Your ancestors fought hard for two generations to make a great name, and you can't bear to let them become a thing of the past? Don't want it to continue? Only by listening to my words can the name of the Liangliao Wangfu be continued, and the children of the Xue family can raise their heads and be people. ”

I hesitated to respond to the word "um" and wanted to prevaricate the past, but who is this Queen Xiao, how could she not see my unhappiness, her face sank inadvertently, but she soon smiled again, moved her lips, and wanted to continue to start her "brainwashing" plan.

At this moment, a father-in-law came to spread the word that the emperor was holding a banquet with other princes in the imperial garden, and asked the queen to go with him.

Empress Xiao gave up, but she still pulled off a phoenix hairpin on her head with a smile and put it on my head with her own hands.

"You, you have to dress up more, if a woman wants to please men's attention, she must work clothes and accessories."

I should be again and again, but in my heart I can't respond, I only have one thought now, that is, the farther away from this woman, the better. Her laughter was too cold, and the so-called hidden knife in her laughter should be like this.
