Chapter 124: The Queen's Mother
At this time, it was close to late autumn, and the trees around the Eastern Thunderbolt Kingdom had lost half of their leaves, and only some of the strong ones were still hanging on the treetops, making the last little tail of autumn.
Although the scenery looks a little depressed, autumn is also the harvest season, and the abundance of fruits and vegetables creates a bright smile on the faces of the common people.
Su Wanqing and a few people were stopped by the guards in front of the gate of the Eastern Thunderbolt Kingdom into the city, and the young guards stood in front of the door, holding a spear in their hands, looking at the carriage, and asked with some vigilance: "May I ask who is in the car?" To enter the Imperial City, please present your pass. ”
Su Wanqing was stunned in the carriage, this Eastern Pi Kingdom is heavily guarded, and she also needs a pass to enter the imperial city. However, this is nothing more than to protect the people and prevent some ill-intentioned people from mixing in.
But where did she get her pass?
The guard saw that there was no movement in the car for a long time, thinking that someone was dressed up and wanted to infiltrate the imperial city. He saw this kind of person a lot on weekdays, did he really think that the guards of their Eastern Thunderbolt Country were easy to mess with? The guards raised their spears and tried to drive the men away.
At this time, the curtain of the carriage in front of him was lifted, and a pair of eyes as cold as water were revealed, which made the guard stunned for a while. Su Wanqing lifted the curtain, gently lifted half of the veil, looked at the guards, and said softly: "This big brother, we came to the Eastern Thunderbolt Country this time to find someone, can you be accommodating." ”
The cold and pleasant voice slowly sounded in the ears of the guards, like spring water, refreshing people's hearts. Coupled with Su Wanqing's side face, which was enough to amaze everyone, the guards were already completely in place.
But soon reason regained his senses, and the beautiful woman in front of him must not be a bad person, but his duty is here after all...... The guards were in a dilemma for a moment.
Soon, a voice came to his rescue.
Rong Yanyu got down from the carriage behind, walked to Su Wanqing's side, looked at the guard in front of him and said lightly, "You're new here, right?" This is a friend of this prince, you can just let it go. ”
The guard raised his head and saw Rong Yanyu's handsome appearance, and was shocked for a moment, although he had just been guarding the door here for a short time, but the prestige and appearance of Prince Rong were the objects of admiration of the common people of the Eastern Thunderbolt Kingdom. He was fortunate to have seen Prince Rong once, but he didn't expect that today, the real person was actually standing in front of him!
The little guard hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Participate in Prince Rong, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and I hope that the prince will atone for his sins." He looked at Su Wanqing, and hurriedly said, "I hope Miss won't be surprised." After speaking, he consciously turned sideways and moved out of the way, but his little eyes couldn't help but look at Prince Rong.
Su Wanqing looked at him with sincere fear, but looked at Prince Rong and looked like an adoring fan, and shook her head funny.
Rong Yanyu turned his head sideways to look at Su Wanqing, and said gently: "Wanqing, let's go." ”
Su Wanqing nodded, turned around and got back into the carriage, and after Rong Yanyu saw her get into the carriage, she also turned around and returned to her carriage.
The carriage slowly drove into the capital, and the guards stood in place, stunned as they watched the two carriages drifting apart. Who is that beautiful girl? Prince Rong actually brought a beautiful girl back to the city, didn't he go to Tianli Country to attend a banquet? Could it be that this girl left the country from heaven?
In any case, Prince Rong, who has never been close to women, actually took the initiative to get so close to a woman, could it be that these two people have feelings for each other?
Thinking of this, the guards couldn't help but widen their eyes, if this matter was known by those girls in the capital, they didn't know how much trouble it would cause...... But this girl is a country and a city at first glance, and she is quite compatible with Prince Rong.
On the other side, Su Wanqing sat in the carriage peacefully, poked her head out and looked around, completely unaware that she and Rong Yanyu had been brained by a little guard to make up a big plot.
Su Wanqing is also very interested in the imperial city of the Eastern Thunderbolt Kingdom, looking out the window, the faces of the ordinary people are all smiling, and the vendors on the street are shouting, selling their goods, looking happy.
Su Wanqing looked at it for a while and then retracted her gaze, it seems that the Dongli Kingdom is indeed well governed, looking at the expressions of the common people, to a certain extent, you can already see how well the monarch of this country is governed.
For no reason, Su Wanqing had a trace of curiosity about the monarch of this country. It is rumored that the monarch of the Eastern Thunderbolt Kingdom has read the Four Books and Five Classics at a very young age, is proficient in martial arts and various weapons, and has built a country with his own efforts, until now.
The most enviable thing is the love story between the monarch of the Eastern Thunderbolt Kingdom and his queen. I heard that the emperor of the Eastern Thunderbolt Kingdom fell in love with the current queen at first sight, and married her home desperately. After the two got married, they respected each other like guests and loved each other. The emperor of the Eastern Pili Kingdom did not even accept a concubine for his queen, and there was only one queen in his harem.
When she heard this story, Su Wanqing's heart was indeed surprised and a little moved. In such an ancient world, it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that he was still the king of a country. I didn't know how much pressure I had to do all this at the beginning.
When Su Wanqing was thinking wildly, Qi Lao, who had read the letter on the side, raised his head and said happily to Su Wanqing: "Su girl, you are on time for this trip." Miao Lao'er is now in the palace to recuperate the queen's body, and he will leave the Eastern Pi Kingdom in two days. Fortunately, we caught up, otherwise we wouldn't know what year or month we would have found him again. ”
Hearing the news, Su Wanqing was a little surprised, and she subconsciously asked, "Is the queen mother in poor health?" ”
Qi Lao glanced at her a little strangely, but still replied: "The queen's body has always been bad, this is something that everyone in the Eastern Hail Kingdom knows. It seems that something happened back then, the queen mother broke her body when she was pregnant with her second child, and then the child was gone, and she also rested on the bed for a long time, but she could not give birth again. After that time, the root of the disease fell, and every once in a while, Miao Lao'er would go to the Eastern Thunderbolt Kingdom to recuperate for the queen. ”
Su Wanqing was stunned, the second child? She hadn't heard that the queen was pregnant with her second child, but now that she hears it, it's a pity. No wonder, in the huge Eastern Thunderbolt Kingdom, there is only one prince Rong Yanyu, and the current emperor is reluctant to draft a draft girl, so the palace is naturally thin.
At this time, Rong Yanyu on the side poked his head out of the carriage and asked about Miao Lao's movements, and Qi Lao told him 1510.
Rong Yanyu thought about it, but he forgot that counting the days, it was indeed the time for Miao Lao to enter the palace.
He opened his mouth and said: "Wanqing, Grandpa Qi, since Miao Lao is now in the palace, you can just enter the palace with Yanyu." It just so happens that I will also take you Wanqing to meet your father and mother, they will be surprised to see you. ”
Su Wanqing asked with some curiosity: "Why are you surprised?" ”
Rong Yanyu winked at her and said with a smile: "Because Wanqing, you are very good-looking." ”
Su Wanqing was a little speechless, she didn't expect Rong Yanyu to make a joke, it was quite cold, she couldn't laugh at it.
Rong Yanyu said with a smile: "Okay, I won't tease you, you are the first friend I really made in Tianli Country, just let me know my father and queen mother, right?" ”
Looking at Rong Yanyu's somewhat "pitiful" eyes, Su Wanqing smiled "poof", she nodded and responded.
In fact, there is no need for Rong Yanyu to say, she also wants to meet the emperor and queen, after all, Miao Lao lives in the palace now, and she wants to ask Miao Lao for help. When you get to someone's territory, how can you get by without saying hello? After all, in addition to being the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she is now the future concubine of the Sixth Emperor of the Heavenly Departure Country.
Rong Yanyu saw that Su Wanqing agreed, and immediately said happily to the coachman: "Go in the direction of the palace." ”
The coachman answered, raised his whip, and the white horse roared, and marched steadily in the direction of the palace.
Because of Rong Yanyu, Su Wanqing and the others also entered the palace unimpeded.
The gorgeous and beautiful design of the palace really feasted Su Wanqing's eyes. She looked at the palace eaves made of pure gold, and couldn't help but be speechless, rich is capricious. When she also had so much gold and was able to build a small house, she was already satisfied.
In the palace, a kind old man sat outside the veil and was taking the pulse of the queen. After a long time, he gently left the handkerchief in the queen's hand.
There was a gentle but weak voice from the veil: "Old Miao, how is the body of this palace?" ”
Miao Lao touched his white beard and said with a smile: "Niangniang's body is much better than before. If this continues, it won't take long for Niangniang's body to recover her health. ”
The woman inside could vaguely see her beautiful face through some transparent veils, but it was not real.
She smiled lowly: "Elder Miao, the body of this palace, this palace is still clear." After so many years, as long as he lives, there is nothing to complain about in this palace. Who told this palace that he couldn't know people clearly? ”
Regarding what happened to the queen mother, Miao Lao faintly heard about it. But he also knew that there were some things that were not his turn to manage, and it was inconvenient for him to speak.
Miao Lao said for a while: "Niangniang, as long as you have a good rest and maintain a relaxed mood, your body will always get better." ”
"Then thank you, Miao Lao."
"Mother's words are serious."
Miao Lao got up and just said goodbye, when a maid's voice came from outside the door: "Imperial Doctor Miao, His Royal Highness the Prince, please come over." ”
When the queen heard this, her body lifted up slightly, looked outside and said, "Yanyu is back?" ”
The maid replied respectfully: "Yes, Queen Mother, Your Highness has just arrived in the palace, and it seems that there is an urgent matter to find Imperial Doctor Miao." He said that he would come to see you later, and hoped that Niangniang would forgive me. ”
The queen waved her hand and chuckled: "This kid, is he not feeling well?" Miao Lao, please go over and take a look at the dogs. ”
Miao Lao arched his hand in her direction and followed the maid.
