Chapter 390: The Strange Queen Mother
Luo Shuangyi felt that the current Queen Mother really had a creepy feeling, it was not as real as before, and now this unfathomable appearance was very similar to Xie Yuxuan.
Thinking of Xie Yuxuan, Luo Shuangyi felt that his thoughts were a little ridiculous, how could the Queen Mother have her current status, how could she not even be at the level of Xie Yuxuan.
It's just that she usually doesn't think she needs to deal with it.
And now, she wears a hypocritical mask to talk to herself, so she must be careful.
Luo Shuangyi replied in a proper manner: "Mother is all right now, and the Empress Dowager Lao is concerned." ”
"She must be very nervous about being pregnant now, how much can you explain her?" The Queen Mother's concerned look opened Luo Shuangyi's eyes, it turned out that someone's acting skills could be so good.
"Back to the Queen Mother, the folk girl will chat with her mother when she has time to relieve her bad mood." Luo Shuangyi lowered her eyebrows, not wanting to watch the Queen Mother's performance, "If the Queen Mother has nothing else to do, the people will go back first." ”
"You go back, I don't know what the queen wants to tell you, have you finished speaking?" The Queen Mother said casually.
Xu Yi hurriedly replied: "After returning to his mother, Erchen just had nothing to do, looking for Shuangyi to catch up with the past, and now what he wants to say is almost done." ”
"Well, you all stand down." After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she left first.
Luo Shuangyi looked at Xu Yi: "Queen Mother, the folk girl retreated first." ”
"Well, Shuangyi will say hello to the side concubine for me when I go back."
"Yes, there is Lao Niangniang's concern." Luo Shuangyi didn't dare to relax like this, she retreated worriedly, walked out of the palace gate, and got into the carriage of Luo Wangfu, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Zihua entered the palace for the first time, she had been ruthless and calm, "Miss, wipe your sweat." ”
She was very clever not to mention the affairs in the palace, but just handed Luo Shuangyi a handkerchief.
Luo Shuangyi cast an approving look at her, vainly talking about the royal family is a felony, Ruo Zihua is a person who can't keep his mouth shut, and now he says bad things about the people of the royal family in front of her, I'm afraid that it won't be long before even she will be punished for the crime.
But Zihua is a steady person, and she didn't feel proud when she saw Luo Shuangyi's approving gaze, but just sat aside more calmly.
Luo Shuangyi always felt that the Queen Mother's attitude was strange, but she didn't understand what she was going to do. Thinking that when Xie Jie came with Xie Yuxuan that day, Xie Jie not only deliberately made Concubine Liu happy, but also kept introducing the topic to her, which made Luo Shuangyi a little headache, do these things have anything to do with each other?
Back at the Mushuang Temple, the little finch was doing embroidery.
She didn't notice it when Luo Shuangyi approached her, which shows how attentive and serious the embroidery is.
Looking at the size, Luo Shuangyi guessed that he was going to make a sachet, so he asked, "Little girl, who are you embroidering sachets for?" ”
Xiao Que was startled by the sound that suddenly appeared in his ears, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Luo Shuangyi who had returned, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss, I'll embroider casually." ”
Zihua snickered on the side, "Nonsense, would you give away the sachets that are embroidered casually?" ”
"Sister Zihua." Xiao Que blushed, seeing that both of them were laughing at her, she simply walked into the house, "I ignore you." ”
When Luo Shuangyi was giggling, she always felt that someone was observing them, so as not to startle the snake, she didn't tell Zihua and Xiaoque.
"Miss hasn't eaten yet, has she? I went to the kitchenette and started getting ready. Xiaoque put down everything in his hand and asked Luo Shuangyi's opinion.
Luo Shuangyi nodded: "Go ahead, just eat whatever you want." ”
Soon the little finch came back, Luo Shuangyi took out the original owner's phoenix tail and asked the little finch to play with her in the yard, the melodious piano sound flowed from her fingertips, Luo Shuangyi looked leisurely and complacent.
But I was very worried about Concubine Liu, she had someone to monitor here, so did Concubine Liu have it?
After lunch, Luo Shuangyi went to Concubine Liu's place to have a look, and learned that Concubine Liu was already taking a nap, so she still went into Concubine Liu's room to take a look.
After making sure that Concubine Liu was not uncomfortable, she returned to her courtyard.
In the evening, Luo Shuangyi noticed that the person who was spying on her had left, but she didn't dare to take it lightly and kept doing inconsequential things.
It wasn't until the evening, when Xiaoque was waiting for her to take a bath, that she whispered in Xiaoque's ear: "You help me check if all the maids around my mother are related to the Queen Mother." ”
When the little finch heard this, he only replied softly.
The next day, when Luo Shuangyi was drawing the design drawings of the garden building, Xiaoque came to report the results of the investigation.
"Miss, according to the investigation of the slave maids, there is no problem with the maids around the side concubine, and they have no chance to contact the queen mother's people at all." The little finch said with great certainty.
Luo Shuangyi naturally believed in Xiaoque, and after getting the result, he put his mind at ease, maybe the Queen Mother did want to take action, but it shouldn't have been so quickly planted by Concubine Liu's side.
But she was still very worried about Concubine Liu's safety, so she said, "You and Zihua together, help me go and invite a bunch of people from outside to protect Concubine Liu." ”
She had already arranged for some people to take care of Concubine Liu before, but now she was worried that someone would harm Concubine Liu, so she had to send more people who had the ability to protect Concubine Liu.
"Yes, miss."
Xiaoque and Zihua, the two of them looked for the right person together, because Concubine Liu was a woman and stayed in the inner house for a long time, so the people they found to protect her for Concubine Liu were all women with martial arts.
In the afternoon of the same day, Zihua and Xiaoque came to Luo Shuangyi with eight women, "Miss, look at how they are." ”
Luo Shuangyi's gaze swept over the eight women in turn, and found that they all had muscles, but they were of different sizes.
"You've all studied martial arts?" Luo Shuangyi lifted their sleeves, looked at their forearms, and found that they were indeed people who had been exercising for a long time.
Several women nodded one after another, they had indeed learned some martial arts, and some of them were still well-known in the martial arts.
Luo Shuangyi nodded with satisfaction and looked at Zihua, "You can help me make a schedule for them, it's impossible for all of them to be by my mother's side at all times." ”
"Yes, the slave thinks it's okay for two people to protect the side concubine every time?" Zihua asked.
Luo Shuangyi nodded, "Two people are enough, as for their salary, they can just get it from me every month, and they don't need to hang it on the palace account." ”
"Yes, the slave maid will take them down first."
"Hmm." Looking at the string of people, Luo Shuangyi guessed that Concubine Liu would most likely not agree to let them protect her, so Luo Shuangyi looked at Xiao Qi, "Let's go see Mother." ”
Luo Shuangyi took the little finch and walked straight to Concubine Liu's courtyard, at this time Concubine Liu was taking a small bite of dessert, and when she heard that Luo Shuangyi was coming, she was invited into the room with some doubts.
"What's the matter?"
The businesslike tone made Luo Shuangyi feel a little uncomfortable, and she tried to smile, "I'll come to see you, and the baby in your belly." ”
Concubine Liu responded, "I'm not uncomfortable. ”
"It's good if you don't feel uncomfortable." Luo Shuangyi thought about it and was ready to talk about the bodyguard first, "Mother, I always feel unreliable recently, so I hired someone for you to protect you, and they will take turns to protect you." ”
Concubine Liu frowned when she heard this, "Why is this happening?" I don't need someone specifically to protect me. ”
Luo Shuangyi knew that she was a little unhappy when she looked at her expression, "Mother, don't be unhappy because of this matter, I'm just worried about you, I want to protect the safety of you and my younger brothers and sisters in my belly, anyway, they won't bother you, and they don't look attractive." This is Shuangyi's heart for you, you can accept it. ”
Luo Shuangyi looked at Concubine Liu almost pleadingly, and in the end, Concubine Liu reluctantly agreed, "Okay, it's just that I've been a little bored lately and want to go out for a walk."
Luo Shuangyi naturally didn't dare to let her out of the palace, in case she bumped into it, she would be a sinner, so Luo Shuangyi retreated and said: "Mother doesn't go out much on weekdays, and now for the sake of the child in the belly, please bear with me, but if your mother is bored, Shuangyi can invite the troupe to come to the palace for you." ”
Concubine Liu was not interested, but she thought that it was better to have a little pastime than nothing, and she stayed in the house every day, and she really wanted to know what it was like outside.
So she agreed to Luo Shuangyi's proposal, "Then I'll leave this matter to you, you remember to help me find a good troupe." ”
"Rest assured, you are satisfied." Luo Shuangyi said with extreme confidence, completely forgetting that she didn't know anything about the theater at all.
Seeing that Concubine Liu was a little sleepy, Luo Shuangyi got up and said goodbye and left.
On the way back, Zihua asked curiously, "Miss, do you know which theater has any novelty plays?" Why did you propose to invite Concubine Liu to play a troupe? ”
"Sss Luo Shuangyi gasped, "Is it a good theater?" I really don't really know. ”
Zihua couldn't help but hold her forehead, who would have guessed that the shrewd young lady was so unruly that she almost cheated herself?
If she didn't remind her, Luo Shuangyi was afraid that she would find a random theater and arrange a few scenes for Concubine Liu to watch.
She ignored a very important point: Concubine Liu has watched a lot of dramas since she was a child, so the common dramas do not make her happy.
Luo Shuangyi was thinking about which troupes were more popular, or more special.
Luo Shuangyi thought that Tang Shu must know this, so he wrote a letter to ask him.
Sure enough, after Tang Shu found out, he introduced her to a suitable theater, and Luo Shuangyi personally went to the theater to choose the play to watch in order to make Concubine Liu happy.
This was two or three days, and she watched a lot of classic plays and new plays in the theater, and finally decided on all the repertoire.
And when Luo Shuangyi went to the theater to set a time and determine the repertoire, he saw Xie Jie in the theater.
Luo Shuangyi didn't want to have anything to do with him, so he wanted to bypass him and go directly, but was stopped by Xie Jie, "Why did Miss Luo leave when she saw me?" ”
