Chapter 8: On the cusp of the storm

As soon as Mu Shujing's words came out, Li Wenshu was shocked, and immediately walked out and pulled Su Xiayan to kneel, and said in a trembling voice: "Queen Mother, please calm your anger, Yan'er definitely doesn't mean that, she is still young and ignorant, it was Yan'er who abruptly attacked you, and asked the queen mother to forgive Yan'er." ”

"Yes, Queen Mother, you are the queen of Linfeng Kingdom, no one can replace you, Queen Mother, please calm your anger!" Su Ninghai also knelt down with Li Wenshu, and the beard on his face shook and trembled, a little funny.

"Please calm the queen's anger!" The ministers also said one after another, Mu Shujing, the mother of a country, they all agree very much, if Concubine Li becomes the queen, then Suninghai must be extremely rampant, which is what everyone does not want, so everyone unanimously supports Mu Shujing.

Mu Shujing's face softened slightly, and she looked at Yan Yiyang, who just lowered his head and didn't speak, but the expression on his face revealed that he was very troubled.

Concubine Li stood up slowly and bowed slightly, "Queen Mother, the concubine never thought of sitting in the position of the queen, the concubine just wants to be by the emperor's side, please the queen for the sake of the child in my belly, don't worry about the concubine." Concubine Li's pitiful face was already pear-blossomed, as if she had been greatly wronged, which made people feel distressed.

Mu Shujing glanced at Concubine Li's stomach lightly, there was indescribable emotion in her eyes, as if something was about to explode, but she couldn't see it really.

"Concubine Li, it's this palace that has been wronged, why are you crying? Do you think Hongu is bullying you? ”

Concubine Li wiped her tears, pretending to be panicked, and kept looking at Yan Yiyang from the corner of her eyes, hoping that he could come to speak for her at this moment, but her hopes were to be disappointed after all, although Yan Yiyang spoiled her, she would not fight with Mu Shujing for her, it was not worth it.

"The queen, the concubine doesn't dare, today is the concubine's birthday, and the concubine dares to ask the queen not to worry about the concubine because of a trivial matter."

Mu Shujing chuckled, the corners of her mouth hooked up a beautiful arc, turned her head and ignored her, but drank tea by herself.

"If a cup of tea is left for a long time, the taste will become weaker, presumably Concubine Li also understands this truth."

Concubine Li's eyes flashed, and she reluctantly pulled out a smile and said, "What the queen mother said is true." ”

"Okay, that's the end of the matter, the ministers continue to drink and have fun, don't ruin your mood." Yan Yiyang tapped the table and motioned to everyone present.

Li Wenshu stood up tremblingly, pulled Su Xiayan back to her seat, and patted her chest in shock.

"Second Miss Su, stand up and come to the palace to have a look." Just when everyone thought that this matter had subsided, Mu Shujing suddenly wanted to speak again.

Su Xiaran nodded slightly, and walked to the center so that Mu Shujing could see her.

After Mu Shujing saw her appearance clearly, she frowned slightly, dressed in an old and yellowish white dress with a few holes, which didn't look like the clothes that a lady should wear at all.

"Miss Su Er, why are your clothes so old?"

The corners of Su Xiaran's mouth hooked up a shallow smile, and said with satisfaction: "Queen Mother, the courtier is because of ......" Su Xiaran wanted to speak and stopped, her eyes still looked at Li Wenshu from time to time, and the clear-eyed person knew the reason at a glance.

When Li Wenshu saw Su Xiaran's appearance, she secretly screamed in her heart, but she thought that she had obviously made clothes for her, but she didn't wear them herself, so she couldn't blame her, and she didn't pay much attention to it, but wanted to see Su Xiaran make a fool of herself.

Mu Shujing understood what Su Xiaran meant, and was a little happy in her heart, today can be regarded as holding the handle for her, "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

No. 14 is a heel

Su Xiaran nodded, with a faint hint of calculation in her plain eyes, looked at Li Wenshu's face, and no longer hesitated: "Back to the queen's mother, the courtiers are because only this one dress can barely be worn." ”

"Oh?" Mu Shujing glanced at Li Wenshu and said sarcastically: "Is the princess of the county reluctant to even make a piece of clothing for Miss Su Er?" ”

Li Wenshu did not panic, but replied calmly, "Queen Mother, this concubine is not so stingy as that, this concubine originally made a few festive clothes for Ran'er, as for why Ran'er didn't wear them, this concubine really doesn't know." ”

"Is that true?" Mu Shujing shifted her gaze to Su Xiaran again, looking forward to how she would answer.

Su Xiaran sighed, with a look of embarrassment on her face, "Queen Mother, what my mother said is indeed true, but the courtier's biological mother has just died, as the concubine of the county prince's mansion, this rule still needs to be understood, and the courtier's daughter should not wear too festive clothes, which is a little inappropriate." Besides, the courtiers obviously asked my mother to help me make a few white clothes, but for some reason my mother changed when she sent them. ”

Mu Shujing nodded with satisfaction, Su Xiaran really didn't disappoint her.

Li Wenshu frowned, she didn't expect Su Xiaran to sue Mu Shujing and make her a follower. "Queen Mother, it must be the maid who said the wrong thing, and the concubine really doesn't know." After speaking, he glanced at Su Xiaran deeply and motioned for her not to say anything.

Su Xiaran smiled lightly, turned her head absently, and ignored Li Wenshu's hint.

"If that's the case, then the princess of the county should punish the maids in the house." Mu Shujing's willow eyebrows were slightly bent, and she was in a happy mood.

"That's for sure." Li Wenshu accompanied the smiling face, laughing was more ugly than crying, and Mu Shujing also saw through but did not say it.

"This palace feels that he and Miss Su Er are very close to each other, and he sent someone to send a few plain clothes to the county king's mansion, which can be regarded as a gift to Miss Su Er, after all, this rule still has to be observed, and it is not good to wear it too festively." Mu Shujing glanced at Su Xiayan out of the corner of her eyes, and with a mocking smile, she sarcastically mocked Su Xiayan to the fullest.

Su Xiayan bit her lower lip, her face was flat, and she didn't know what she was thinking with her eyes down. It's not that she doesn't understand Mu Shujing's words, she insinuates that she doesn't understand the rules, and laughs at her in front of so many people. However, why does she want to keep filial piety for a Qinglou woman?

Although she was angry now, she was not stupid enough to put this undeserved emotion on her face for these people to see, she had to endure it, only then would others think that she was magnanimous and would not bother with a mere concubine.

Su Xiaran bowed slightly and said, "Courtier, Queen Xie." ”

Su Xiaran looked at Su Xiayan's plain face, and couldn't help but praise in her heart, this is also Su Xiayan's most proud skill, she never puts anger on her face in front of outsiders, she always looks like a lady, I have to say that Li Wenshu trained Su Xiayan quite well.

"Miss Su Er doesn't have to be polite, let's step down, don't let this palace disturb Concubine Li's interest, lest someone say that this palace is stingy."

"Yes." Su Xiaran responded, stood in place, and looked up at Su Xiayan.

Su Xiayan was a little puzzled, but she didn't think much about it, and returned directly to her seat, and Su Xiaran followed her to sit in her seat.

Ye Moqing hooked her lips slightly, and praised Su Xiaran's actions in her heart, I haven't seen her for a long time, but this girl is getting smarter and smarter.

The sun sets, the sun sets.

Wenli Palace has been much quieter, and after the banquet is over, all the civil and military officials have dispersed, and no one wants to stay longer.

In Wenli Palace, only Li Wenshu and Su Xiayan were still left, and Concubine Li was sitting with them, as if they were discussing something.

Su Xiaran stood at the door of Wenli Palace, looked at the closed door, pursed her lips, she could have gone back, who knew that Concubine Li would leave a few of them to live in the palace for a few days, it's okay if she doesn't stay, and if she stays, she doesn't know what kind of trouble she will cause again.

"Miss, what are you thinking?" Hongyue saw Su Xiaran in a daze, and asked suspiciously.

Su Xiaran was in a trance, came back to his senses, and shook his head, "It's okay, Hongyue, come with me." ”

"Okay." Hongyue nodded, followed behind Su Xiaran, and walked in one direction at will.

I don't know how long I walked before I saw a gazebo in front of me.

"Red Moon, let's go and sit in front."

"Okay." Hongyue happened to be a little tired, and when she heard Su Xiaran say that she could go to the front and sit down, she was very excited.

Su Xiaran sat sideways on the chair, observing the surrounding environment. The surroundings of this pavilion are full of flowers and plants, but these seem to be medicinal herbs, and it looks like it should be a medicinal field, but I didn't expect that there are still medicinal fields in the palace.

Next to the chair, there are a few small red flowers, red like blood, very beautiful.

Su Xiaran was about to take it off, when he heard a childish shout in the distance: "Don't touch!" ”

Su Xiaran was shocked, and her hand unconsciously touched the small red flower.

Yan Yuqing ran over in a flaming manner, took out a bottle, and poured a pill for Su Xiaran, "Eat it quickly." ”

"Miss, is this really edible?" Hongyue looked at the pill in Su Xiaran's hand suspiciously.

Su Xiaran shook her head, and then swallowed the pill, she didn't know why, she just believed that the person in front of her wouldn't harm her, "It's okay, Hongyue, don't worry." ”

Yan Yuqing was relieved to see Su Xiaran take the pill. "This kind of flower is called Chilian Flower, the petals contain highly poisonous, and it will be poisoned when it touches a little, unless there is an antidote, otherwise it cannot be solved."

"Thank you, Fifth Prince."

Yan Yuqing heard Su Xiaran thank him, her face turned red as soon as she "Teng", and she was a little embarrassed: "No, you're welcome." ”

Seeing that the person in front of him blushed, Su Xiaran laughed, this child is quite cute. "This medicine field is yours."

"Hmm."

"It turns out that the fifth prince still understands medical skills." Su Xiaran's tone was a little meaningful.

"Of course, my medical skills are the best in the world. By the way, sister, don't call me the fifth prince, just call me Yuqing. ”

Su Xiaran chuckled and nodded, "Yuqing, have you heard of the ghost doctor?" ”

When Yan Yuqing heard the word ghost doctor, she suddenly felt a little weak, "I've heard it." ”

"I heard that the ghost doctor's medical skills are very good, and he can even bring people back to life, and he often wears a mask when treating people, so everyone calls him a ghost doctor." Speaking of this, Su Xiaran paused.

"And, he's a teenager."

Yan Yuqing smiled awkwardly, pretending not to understand: "Really?" I, I don't know much about things outside the palace. ”

"Are you a ghost doctor?"

Su Xiaran suddenly asked this question, which made Yan Yuqing slightly stunned, and said in a slurred voice, "I...... I...... I" Yan Yuqing blushed and was at a loss.

On a big tree outside the pavilion, you can vaguely see a person sitting lazily on the tree.

Ye Moqing leaned on the trunk of the tree, quietly listened to the conversation between the two in the pavilion, shook his head from time to time, and squinted at the unassuming Yan Yuqing under the tree.

"Sister, your pendant is so beautiful." Yan Yuqing's identity as a ghost doctor was revealed, and she hurriedly changed the topic.

Su Xiaran glanced down, and his pendant had fallen out at some point. "Well, my mother gave it to me."

"Oh...... By the way, sister, you provoked the princess of the county today, aren't you afraid that she will retaliate against you when she returns home? Yan Yuqing was a little worried about the situation after Su Xiaran returned home.
