Chapter 187: The Empress Summons
"The minister is also good at spices, if the mother likes this fragrance, the minister can try to match it and dedicate it to the mother." Soho said.
Concubine Li's eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately asked, "Really?" ”
"The minister doesn't dare to deceive the mother."
Concubine Li smiled brightly, "If you really can, then it's naturally excellent." ”
Soho continued, "But the minister needs to see what the spice looks like, and it is better to bring it over for some careful study. ”
Concubine Li beckoned and said, "Come on, bring the spices." ”
The maid took the spices and handed them to Soho, Soho felt that her hands were a little shaky, she opened the box, only to feel dizzy, but it was not the one she had worked so hard to match.
Soho took a little in a small spoon and put it up to take away.
"Niangniang, please wait for a while, if you can't match it, the minister can also give Niangniang other spices, which smell very good." As he spoke, Soho took out the sachet he had made earlier and handed it over.
Concubine Li took it, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it, she smiled and said, "It's really good, it smells very comfortable, but this smell." It's a little light, I didn't expect Su Shanggong to be good at making incense. ”
Soho arched her hand and said, "It's just a matter of interest." ”
"Okay, if you can match it, this palace will reward you heavily."
"Thank you, mother."
"Oh, just talking about this, how did you forget to get down to business, Su Shanggong, Bengong has been weak lately, and I am dizzy today. It's a shame, I can't even eat, and even the emperor said that the palace is not good, but these days the tonic has not been eaten less, why is it not effective? Su Shang Palace, you have to help this palace think of a way, if you continue like this, I am afraid that the emperor will not want to come to see the face of this palace. When Concubine Li spoke, her words were full of worry.
Soho replied respectfully, "What have you been anxious about lately?" ”
Concubine Li thought for a moment, her face was a little unnatural, "You can also know this?" ”
Soho said, "The minister is just guessing, Niangniang's complexion is not good, Xu is the reason why she doesn't sleep well at night, as the saying goes, medicine is not as good as food, and food is not as good as sleep, so if Niangniang can sleep well, that is the key." ”
Concubine Li nodded, "That's right, these days...... It is true that the palace has not slept well, since the day the emperor went to the royal garden to hunt, he has not slept well. ”
Looking at the indignant expression on Concubine Li's face, Su Ho could probably guess why, so she said, "Niangniang don't worry, since the emperor has returned, then it's fine, and Niangniang doesn't have to worry about what will happen to the emperor, but no wonder the emperor loves Niangniang so much, Niangniang's sincerity to the emperor can be seen." ”
Concubine Li listened to Soho's words very helpfully, but she still seemed to have something to say.
"Of course, this palace is naturally sincere to the emperor, unlike some foxes who pester the emperor every day, which is bewitching and confusing the lord!" As she spoke, Concubine Li slapped the table angrily.
Soho has no words, this kind of thing, of course, she can't interject, she can only be a transparent person next to her, and, Soho knows that she should leave quickly, but anything that involves harem battles, she can't be easily swept in.
"Niangniang, the minister will prescribe a prescription for Niangniang, Niangniang drink it before going to bed, and I am sure that I can have a good night's sleep." Soho said.
Concubine Li nodded.
"If you don't have that mother, you don't have it here. Whatever happens, the minister will retreat, or fine. Go back and study the spice. ”
Concubine Li waved her hand, "Go ahead." ”
When she walked back, Liu Jingjing gasped for breath, "Oh, Sushang Palace, I didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere in Chuxiu Palace just now, fortunately you have a way, Concubine Li didn't get angry this time." ”
Soho is now preoccupied, and she listens to Liu Jingjing's words and loses half of them.
"Sushang Palace, the queen invites you over." As he was walking, a maid came up and said.
Soho recognized this person, it was the big girl next to the queen, Soho clenched her fists, she only felt a burst of restlessness in her heart now, and the tragic situation of Jiangling Sufu appeared in her mind, Soho breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Yes, I'll go." After that, Soho told Liu Jingjing to go back first, and she followed the maid to the queen.
When they entered the house, but it was empty, Soho looked back at the maid and said, "What about the queen?" ”
"Sushang Palace will wait here for a while, and the queen will come in a while." With that, he took care of himself and retreated.
Soho stood in the room, the decoration in the room was magnificent, she stood in the center of the room, she didn't sit down privately, a bunch of things on the table were serious, the red sandalwood box on the table was full of gold and silver jewelry, but they were all some fine and small things, even if there was one less, she would not be found, Soho looked away, deliberately let herself be here alone, and put these jewelry to tempt people, Soho secretly sneered in her heart, Could it be that someone is hiding behind the house now, watching her every move? Soho didn't know anything, and still stood upright, without squinting.
After a long time, Soho felt that her feet were going numb, and the queen was late.
"Su Shanggong, I've been waiting for a long time." The queen came in and said with a smile.
Soho hurriedly said, "Attend the Queen Mother." ”
The queen waved her hand, "Okay, okay, don't be polite, get up." ”
Soho stood up, "Why did the queen come here?" ”
"It's nothing, you're new to the palace, but you still feel used to it?" The queen asked.
Soho nodded, "Everything is fine, thank you for your concern." ”
With a smile on the corner of the queen's mouth, she seemed to ask casually, "That's good, Yu'er has specially instructed the palace to take good care of you." ”
Soho was stunned, and she said, "Second prince? ”
"Who else could there be?" The queen replied with a smile.
Su He was puzzled for a while, what did the second prince tell the queen to do this?
"Supposedly, you can enter the palace on duty, thanks to the regent, have you been to see the prince recently? I don't know how the recovery is now. The queen asked.
Su Ho's heart was suddenly alert, and the queen looked inadvertently and chattering at random. looks, but in fact, no one knows what they think in their hearts! What's more, she is the biological mother of the second prince, so does she know everything the second prince has done?
Su He thought about something else in his heart, but he said, "This minister doesn't know, after the prince woke up, he forgot a lot of things, and besides, the prince and the county lord have a marriage contract, and the minister must be separated from the prince at a certain distance no matter what, otherwise, I am afraid that the county lord will be unhappy." Soho said deliberately with resentment and dissatisfaction.
The queen also pretended to sigh, as if she was feeling wronged for Soho, she said, "No, the prince is injured this time, and it is still a little different from before, but he and the county lord ...... It can be regarded as a heavenly design, and the wedding date will probably be set in a few days. When the queen said this, she kept paying attention to Soho's expression.
It's just that Soho's expression is well controlled, and when the queen deliberately said this, there was not the slightest fluctuation on her face, as if she was listening to something that had nothing to do with her.
For Suho's reaction, the queen seems to be very satisfied, and now it is Li Ruxue who is pulling Zhou Jinghan, so as long as the focus of dealing with Li Ruxue is good, as for Soho, her role is much greater than Li Ruxue, that will be in her temptation, Suho is also very steady, the queen is very satisfied, if she can pull Suho to herself, it must be a good thing.
The little abacus in the queen's heart crackled, and Soho knew it in her heart, but she didn't break it, and watched the queen perform here.
"Look at this palace, it is not easy for you to get to this position today, in the future, if there is any difficulty, you must talk to this palace." The queen kindly instructed.
Soho also showed a very touched look, "Yes, thank you for the love of the queen, the minister must be grateful." The last few words Su He said emphatically, yes, of course she can't forget the evil things they did to Jiangling Su Mansion.
"Queen Mother!" The second prince walked in with big strides, "Son, see the queen mother." ”
When the queen saw the second prince, there was a smile between her eyebrows, and she smiled and said, "It's been autumn for a long time, and it's cold, and you're still wearing such thin clothes, aren't you afraid of getting sick?" ”
The second prince smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, the sons are strong." ”
"Then you can't be so self-conscious!" The queen reproaches.
"Yes, Erchen remember, wear thicker clothes when you go back." After that, the second prince looked at Soho on the side, "Soho, you are also there." ”
"What does it look like, it should be called Sushang Palace." The queen reminded.
The second prince suddenly said, "I used to it before, and I can't change it all of a sudden." The tone of the second prince seemed to be very familiar to the two.
Soho also deliberately said, "It's good to call the second prince anything." ”
The second prince looked at Su Ho and asked, "Can you still adapt to it in the Pharmaceutical Bureau?" If someone bullies you, tell your mother, and she will make decisions for you. ”
Soho smiled, "Thank you Second Prince, everything is fine." ”
The queen looked at the two with a smile, and she asked Su He, "Su Shang Palace, you entered the palace this time, Prime Minister Su Cheng should also be very happy, right?" ”
Soho replied, "Father should be happier." ”
"I heard...... The old lady of the Su family has changed her attitude towards you now? I'm going to let you go to the family tree. The second prince spoke.
Soho raised her eyebrows, could the news spread so quickly? This is just something that happened in the morning, and the second prince already knew about it, and Su He was immediately relieved, too, after all, there is Su Kun, of course he can know.
"Yes, the second prince is really well-informed." Soho replied lightly.
The second prince smiled and explained, "When I entered the palace today, I met many people from Su Mansion on the road, all of whom were buying, and I knew about it when I asked. ”
Soho nodded, "The status of the minister's biological mother is humble, so she is naturally inferior to her sisters since she was a child, and now she is ...... Grandmother Xu thought that I was too old, and it was not good to go on like this, so she was gracious. ”
The queen was thoughtful, and there was another light in her eyes when she looked at Soho, adding an extra layer of calculation.
