The queen stopped, fiddling with the peony that was in full bloom, and the corners of her mouth had a gentle smile from beginning to end, but the sudden silence was a little long, as if she was thinking about how to say it, whether it should be said or not.

Luo Qing didn't say much, just stood aside and waited patiently.

After a while, the queen spoke again.

"Prince Yi is a hero admired by many people, and the imperial grandmother thought that he would never marry in his life, but he actually said that he wanted to marry you that day, and the palace can see that the prince is sincere to you, even so, the gossip outside is nothing, and it is rare to have a confidant in the world."

Luo Qing was surprised at first, and then felt a slight warmth in her heart, she didn't expect the mother of a country to say this to her.

She thought about it for a while, and felt that it was, the queen was a member of the queen mother's family, and she always had to think about her brother, but she felt a strange feeling that she couldn't say, and the queen's words seemed to mean something.

She didn't know whether the queen mother focused on the sentence "the hero admired by many people", or the sentence in the middle of "sincerely" to treat herself, or the last sentence "rare acquaintance".

She also saw a lot when she came to Beijing, and she didn't know how much it meant in one sentence, but the identity of the queen made her not know what kind of meaning she meant, as if it was not very suitable for any meaning, and it was not very suitable for the identity of the queen.

She couldn't get it for sure, so she could only reply decently, "Thank you for the care of Queen Niang, Ruqing can save it." ”

The queen nodded, and talked to Luo Qing about the gossip on the side: "I don't know if the pot of blood and tears you earned back can bloom?" ”

Luo Qing looked at the peony that the queen was fiddling with, and shook his head, "Back to Niangniang, it is still the same as when Qing Chu hugged it back, just a few small buds." ”

The queen withdrew her hand to caress the peony flower, and said, "If blood drops and tears are as easy to bloom as this peony, it is not rare, there is always something strange about strange flowers." ”

She turned around and took Luo Qing and continued to move forward, "Speaking of which, the envoy of the Western Regions who paid tribute to this flower also said that those who are lucky enough to see this flower bloom will be happy and beautiful in their lives, and I don't know if this palace is lucky enough to see it bloom in this life." ”

Luo Qing understood this, but she also knew that the queen just said something casually, but it was just a feeling of involuntary emotion in the harem, but it was not something she could add more beaks, let alone her comfort.

She'd never heard it here.

But looking at the faint pain that flashed in the queen's eyes, thinking of her comfort to herself, she still had one more sentence in the end.

"Niangniang Wanfu, I will definitely be able to see blood and tears bloom."

The queen was noncommittal.

"This palace looks at you and falls in love, it's a bit too much to say today, go back, the imperial grandmother should look for you later."

Luo Qing said goodbye to the queen and took Su Su to Changle Palace, but after only a few steps, Su Su's quiet voice came from behind her.

"When Concubine Li was a girl, she was happy with the prince, and the prince of Dingguo also asked someone to come to the door to say goodbye, but she was rejected by the prince."

Su Su's voice was very low when she said this, but it still entered Luo Qing's ears.

It is self-evident who this prince is.

Luo Qing stopped, slowly turned to look at Su Su, and saw that she hung her head and said nothing, as if the person who had just spoken was not her.

"Why are you telling me this?"

She was shocked in her heart, and when she thought about it, she took it for granted, it was nothing more than that Concubine Li was so targeted at herself today, and she had this experience.

However, Su Su is the person next to the Empress Dowager, but the person sent to her by the Empress Dowager may be dedicated to the Empress Dowager, let alone her.

Na Susu's intentions in saying this need to be investigated.

"Back to the girl, the slave maid just thinks that the girl should know this, and the Empress Dowager sent the slave maid to help the girl get familiar with the intricate relationship inside and outside the palace as soon as possible."

Su Su's words are neither humble nor arrogant, even if Luo Qing doesn't believe it, he can't directly ask the Empress Dowager for confirmation.

Su Su directly pinched Luo Qing's seven inches, but it also aroused Luo Qing's vigilance, making her remember that not all the people in this palace were black and white, and she saw it too simply.

Luo Qing continued to move forward, with no expression on his face, but he still chose to continue asking.

"How did you find out? Was this a bit of a big fuss at the beginning? ”

Won't the emperor have mustard?

Su Su followed behind Luo Qing, her head half buried, and replied in a low voice, "This matter is not a secret matter, although Dingguo Gong tried his best to cover it up, most of the powerful people in Beijing still knew about it, and because of the face of the Queen Mother, it was rarely mentioned. ”

Luo Qing thought, no wonder Concubine Li would be so obsessed with herself, and she kept looking for herself unhappy.

"Was this the temperament of Concubine Li when she first entered the palace?"

"Back girl, that's not the case, at that time, Concubine Li was deeply loved by His Majesty, although her temperament was ...... But it is better than now, and later the prince was poisoned, his eyes were not good, and the Dingguo Mansion was full of rise, so he had no scruples. ”

At this time, she had arrived at Changle Palace, Luo Qing stopped at the gate of Changle Palace, turned around and looked at Su Su, her eyes were full of inquiry, but Su Su still half-hung her head, didn't say a word, and let her look at it.

"You have no scruples about what you said, and you know too much."

"The girl is kind-hearted, and the slave and maid are also towards the girl, and the slave and maid believe that the girl will not talk to others."

Su Su still looked respectful and docile, but Luo Qing understood that this person must be unconvinced in his heart, but he still had to follow her, as for the purpose, it should not only be because the Empress Dowager sent her to her side, but also because of something else.

"Yes, I wouldn't say that whatever you do, you can't kill people easily."

There is hatred in her, and Luo Qing can feel it.

Su Su looked up in astonishment, met Luo Qing's calm and pure gaze, and hurriedly lowered his head.

"Slave and maid, remember what the girl said."

Luo Qing was relieved, entered Changle Palace, and met the pothos who came to find him.

"Girl, the slave is looking for you, and the Queen Mother is already waiting in the pavilion at the back, to teach you the rules."

"Pothos, you have to lead the way."

Luo Qing didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed the green pothos to the pavilion behind, and when she saw the figure of the Queen Mother sitting in the pavilion, she hurriedly straightened out her clothes and then continued to move forward, and entered the pavilion to meet the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager nodded, "Let's get up, I know this time, and I don't have to make a big salute." ”

Luo Qing was stunned, and wanted to open her mouth to explain, but she didn't know what to say, the Empress Dowager saw it, and said, "It's okay, everything has to be the first time, follow the mourning family to learn hard." ”

Luo Qing's heart was slightly settled, and he saluted with the Empress Dowager, "Thank you for the Empress Dowager's teachings, Ruqing will definitely learn the etiquette in the palace." ”

The Empress Dowager stretched out her hand and clicked on the stone bench next to her, "Sit down." ”

Luo Qing thanked the Empress Dowager and walked to the stone bench to sit down, but as soon as she sat on the stone bench, she was called up by the Empress Dowager.

"No, sit down again."

Luo Qing didn't know why, but he still did as he was told.

The Empress Dowager shook her head.

"There is a sitting posture, the woman's posture should be soft, the attitude should be decent and generous, not fast or too slow, sit down with her back straight, and clasp her hands on her knees."

Luo Qing really didn't expect that a sitting seat would be so exquisite, but the demeanor of the concubines in the palace did look very good, and it turned out that there was so much knowledge hidden in it.

"Empress Dowager Xie's teachings."

That's it, but Luo Qing learned to have lunch when he was in a sitting position.

Luo Qing originally wanted to take a break during lunch, but she didn't expect to have dinner with the Queen Mother, so she was inevitably a little restrained, and she was much more disciplined.

What bowls and chopsticks can't touch each other to make a sound, eat to chew slowly, eat without speaking, she has learned all of these, she can do it, but there is always a time when the horse stumbles.

No, she just ate a piece of roasted vegetables, the dish was really a little big, and the corners of her mouth were accidentally stained with some sauce, she didn't notice it, and she didn't wipe it with Juan Pa in time, and was mentioned by the Queen Mother again.

"When eating, you must hold the handkerchief in your hand, and you must wipe it in time every time you finish a mouthful of food, and wipe it gently from right to left, otherwise you will be a joke at the banquet."

The Empress Dowager seemed to be afraid that Luo Qing would be too embarrassed, and said, "There are more rules in this palace than when you were in the house, and slowly follow the mourning family to learn, the mourning family is old, and the energy is not as good as before, if you are not energetic, you will also let Mama Wang teach you hand in hand." ”

Luo Qing smiled and said, "Empress Dowager Xie, let the Empress Dowager do the work." The Empress Dowager is as blessed as the East China Sea, and she has to watch her children and grandchildren full of them. ”

The Empress Dowager smiled and nodded Luo Qing with her finger in the air, "This little mouth is sweet, let's eat." ”

Luo Qing saw that the Empress Dowager had moved her chopsticks before picking up the chopsticks to prepare for the dish, but as soon as she put the chopsticks on the plate of steamed sea bass, she was stopped by Mama Wang on the side.

"Girl, you've already served this dish three times."

Luo Qing didn't know why.

The Empress Dowager put down her chopsticks, wiped the corners of her mouth, and said, "It's just three things, and the same is true for Rao is a dish, so you can't clip more." ”

Luo Qing was puzzled, and the Empress Dowager continued to explain, "You can't just stay motionless because you don't like the dishes next to you, you keep clipping this dish if you like it, that is disrespectful to the host of the banquet, and this is the case in the palace, which is another meaning." ”

Luo Qing looked at the dishes on the table, thinking about the dishes that the Empress Dowager had sandwiched, there were more than a dozen things on the table, as if everything had been moved, but she didn't know ......

"The Empress Dowager, Ruqing dares to guess, is this not able to let people know their preferences?"

The Empress Dowager said in her heart, this little girl's understanding is not bad, too, it makes no sense that someone as smart as Thirteen would look at a stupid and stupid person, this girl must have something outstanding.

What the Empress Dowager didn't know was that Yan Huai was really not attracted by Luo Qing's cleverness, when she first saw her, she only felt that this little girl was pure-minded, and then she just complied with her heart.

It's just that sincerity has changed sincerity.
