10. The retainers will send you back to the palace
After lunch, Su Qingkite's catastrophe did not end.
Xiao Yingzi moved today's recital. Lu Li began to approve the chapters, and the dignified Queen Mother was called as a little palace maid, serving him tea and water, spreading paper and grinding ink.
There were many palace maids and eunuchs serving in the inner hall, but none of them objected to this, as if these errands should have been the duty of the queen mother in the first place.
Only when the courtiers came over to discuss the matter, Su Qingyuan could sit next to Lu Junnuo, pretend to coax him to sleep or play with him, like a real dignified and steady queen mother.
After the minister left, she had to leave Lu Junnuo and obediently return to Lu Li's side.
Whenever this happens, Lu Li always glances at her meaningfully, obviously mocking her for her sanctimonious appearance in front of people.
Su Qingyuan hated it in her heart, but there was nothing she could do.
After all, she can't be as unscrupulous as he is—she can lose face, but she can't lose her life.
Lu Li just settled on this, so he became more and more presumptuous. After the chapter was approved, he simply moved his hands and feet to her in front of the little eunuch in the palace.
Su Qingyuan not only did not dare to speak out, but tried her best to cover it up, for fear of being seen as a clue.
Whenever she tried her best to cover it up, Lu Li always intensified her efforts, and she was bound to force her to be in a hurry before she would give up.
After a few times, Su Qingkite was exhausted and almost on the verge of collapse.
At the right time, the little eunuch in the outer hall came in to remind him that the time for evening mourning was approaching. Su Qingyuan jumped up and pulled Lu Junnuo to run outside.
Lu Li "kindly" stopped her: "Are you going to go out like this?" ”
Su Qingyuan stood for a while before realizing that the palace pays attention to grooming, and she needs to take a look in the mirror.
It was only at this moment that she realized how embarrassed she was: this afternoon, her back was soaked in cold sweat many times, and there were many dirty sweat stains on her white miserable mourning clothes; The bun had long been loosened, and a few strands of hair were soaked in sweat and fell down in a mess; The most inconspicuous thing was the pale face—and the dull, red-streaked eyes.
Su Qingkite almost couldn't recognize herself in the mirror anymore.
Lu Li suddenly smiled at her: "It's okay, let's go out like this." If you are not so haggard, how can you show that the queen mother is heartbroken by the death of her father? ”
In the end, Su Qingyuan just brushed her hair again, and then led Lu Junnuo out of the door together.
This time, she was greeted with unprecedented courtesy.
Of course, the identity of the "Queen Mother" is still very useful in front of outsiders. As for how this identity was obtained, it is not so important.
Lu Junnuo has been crowned the king of Ding'an, although he has lost the identity of the "crown prince", but after all, he is still a nobleman of the heavenly family, and the attitude of the courtiers has become respectful again.
After the mourning, the harem concubines of Emperor Daxing came over to salute Su Qingyuan again, which can be regarded as making up for today's "rules".
Among these women, the eldest was sixteen or seventeen years older than Su Qingyu. At this time, they wanted to salute Su Qingyuan, and their faces were inevitably a little unsightly.
Among them, the most ugly face is Shen Suxin, who is undoubtedly - I don't know if Lu Li has it intentionally or unintentionally, in the will issued, Shen Suxin's honorific title is "concubine", not "noble concubine". One word is missing, that is, she has been downgraded one level steadily, how can she not be annoyed?
Su Qingyuan didn't have anything to say to these strange women, and said hello to them indiscriminately and told them to disperse.
Seeing that there was nothing to do in the Qiandian Palace, Su Qingyuan planned to sneak back to Fanghua Palace with Lu Junnuo. As soon as she turned around, Lu Li appeared in front of her in a ghostly manner: "Queen Mother, the retainer will send you back to the palace." ”
