"How?" Mrs. Zhu hurriedly said: "The queen has spoken, is there anything difficult to do?" ”

"The queen mother forgives her sins," Qingwan said with a smile: "The parents of the folk girl are still in their hometown, and it is freezing this day, and there is no moment when I don't think about it, so I want to bring my parents as soon as possible, so that I can have a successful wedding." Yanyi's father and family did not come over, so it is difficult to set a date for the time being. ”

"I see," Empress Zhu smiled, "This palace said that there must be a reason." Since this is the case, it is also reasonable, Miss Qing is a filial person, so bring the old man to the capital as soon as possible. Hongu is waiting to drink your wine. ”

"This is a big face, looking at it, there are so many princes and nobles in the entire capital, and no young lady can have such a blessing, even the queen is so concerned." Mrs. Zhu said jokingly that when she got the good news from her son, she was extremely happy, and her speech was also bright: "I'm going to be jealous." I don't know if my Yan'er will be able to have this glory when she gets married. ”

The queen couldn't help but smile: "Sister-in-law is now down-to-earth, and she speaks so quickly." Didn't the palace say a long time ago, Yan'er is the only seedling of our Zhu family, and his marriage is the top priority of the Zhu family, and when the day of marriage, not only the palace, but also the prince has to go over in person, is there anything else to worry about? ”

"I'm not worried about anything else now," Mrs. Zhu pretended to be distressed: "It's just that this bride is a candidate, and there is no word yet, when will I see Yan'er get married?" ”

"Isn't that Madame's heart too high?" The round fan smiled and said, "Don't talk about the official ladies in the entire capital, which one is unwilling to marry General Zhu Xiao?" Let's just say that the queen mother has mentioned marriage several times, but Mrs. just doesn't agree. I don't know whose lady can get into the eyes of his wife? ”

"Oh," Mrs. Zhu said busily, "round fan girl, don't always make fun of me." Why is my heart so high? It's not Yan'er's little rabbit cub, he has been very stubborn since he was a child, and how many girls can't look down on him, what can I do? Don't talk about me, even his father, he can manage other things, and there is no way to do it at all. Let's just say that the young ladies selected by the queen's mother, I look at them all good, I can have such a daughter-in-law, I am very willing, I blame that kid, I don't agree with anything, this matter, the queen has to talk about him in the future! ”

"This time General Zhu Xiao is even more extraordinary," the round fan smiled: "has made such a great contribution to the imperial court, who can compare with the people of the Manchu Dynasty?" I'm afraid that there is no one to look at. ”

"That's not up to him!" Mrs. Zhu said: "The Zhu family is the only seedling, and they are still counting on him for succession!" It turned out that he was young and ignorant, but this time he was an adult, and he was still so willful? Just ask the queen mother for a grace and point him a good family business, I don't believe it, even the queen mother dare to disobey?"

"Forget it, forget it, this is the child's own business, and it can't be forced, by the way, there is another good thing, the palace forgot to tell you," Queen Zhu said with a smile: "The emperor told the palace that within ten days, Yan'er will be able to return to the capital." ”

"Really?" Mrs. Zhu was pleasantly surprised: "Then I have to have a good life"

Before the words fell, I saw a little palace maid coming in from outside the hall and said, "Back to Niangniang, Concubine Su Guifei came to invite Niangniang to come and say goodbye." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhu frowned first, and looked at Queen Zhu, but her face was still calm, and she was slightly happy, and said kindly: "Concubine Su has a heart, please invite her in." ”

The little palace maid agreed, and hurriedly went out lightly.

Qingwan had already stood up, she didn't want to meet Concubine Su.

Here Mrs. Zhu was also busy and said, "Niangniang, then we will go down first." Niangniang must take care of the phoenix body. If there is anything, I will always ask Wei Langzhong to come in. ”

A delicate female voice had already sounded outside the hall, and Queen Zhu didn't say anything anymore and nodded.

The round fan went out to greet him, and a few people here still went out of the palace from behind. After getting into the carriage, Mrs. Zhu was in a particularly good mood, talking non-stop along the way, Qingwan also felt a lot more at ease, this battle was won, and for Lu Yanyi, the situation became favorable.

Back in front of the cosmetics shop, Mrs. Zhu still said: "Miss Qing, if the phoenix body of the mother is completely healthy, we don't have to go to the palace." When it comes to the New Year, as usual, you will enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings, and I will come to pick you up again and go together to greet the queen. ”

"Thank you, madam," Qingwan said with a smile, "We are looking forward to having another chance to greet the queen mother." ”

Lu Xiufang also thanked her repeatedly, the guy in the shop saw the carriage and was already waiting in front of the carriage, Mrs. Zhu watched them both get out of the car, and then told the coachman to go home.

"Sister Fang, do you think it's okay now? You don't know, when I asked the queen mother just now, my heart was up and down, and I couldn't breathe with nervousness! Lu Xiufang thought back to what happened to Fang Cai, and still had palpitations.

Qingwan smiled: "If there is a queen mother, what else do you have to worry about?" ”

"Boss, what did you and Miss do together? Why did you come back in half a day? Old Mrs. Zhu came out from inside, her face full of worry.

The last time she entered the palace, Qingwan didn't want to tell anyone when she came back, Mrs. Zhu has never talked much, and today Qingwan didn't want to hide it from her, so she briefly said that she entered the palace twice and pleaded for mercy today, and said: "Now the queen's illness is finally cured, and my heart is also let go." Otherwise, I am always scared, in case something is wrong, but how can I be good? ”

When Mrs. Zhu heard this, her expression suddenly changed greatly, she was speechless for a long time, tears welled up, and she kept wiping her tears.

Qingwan didn't know why: "Aunt Zhu, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Boss, I have to say it now." Old Mrs. Zhu suddenly raised her head, her eyes flashing with a burning gaze that she had never seen before: "Come to the back, I'll tell the owner carefully." ”

Qingwan nodded and followed her to the back. This old man who has a deep story is finally going to tell the truth.

"Boss, I don't mean to hide it from you." Mrs. Zhu still couldn't stop her tears, "It's just that there are some things that I really don't dare to say rashly." ”

"Auntie, I understand what you mean," Qingwan said: "If you think you want to say it to me, just say it, otherwise, I won't ask." ”

"I know that the owner is a kind person, so it doesn't hurt to say it." Mrs. Zhu said: "I didn't say it originally, I was afraid of adding trouble to you, but now my heart is like frying oil, the owner, I beg you, no matter what, find a way to take my wife and son into the palace to see the queen's mother, otherwise, I will die, and I can't close my eyes!" ”

"What?" Qingwan was slightly surprised: "What are you going to do in the palace?" This is not something I can do easily. Even I have to rely on Mrs. Zhu to take me in. ”

"I know, I know," Mrs. Zhu said repeatedly, "I know best what is going on in the palace, I have been there for more than twenty years!" ”

At this time, Qingwan was really surprised: although she guessed that this old lady Zhu was unusual, what she never expected was that she came out of the palace and lived in the palace for so many years?

"The owner, in fact, I was also born in a poor family, when I was twelve years old, I was sold to the Zhu Mansion as a girl, that is, the current queen mother's maiden family, at that time the Zhu family was not so rich, just a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, I entered the Zhu Mansion, at the age of twenty with a small servant, the Zhu family is a generous family, so I live comfortably, later, the wife gave birth to the eldest lady, that is, the queen mother today."

"Oh," Qingwan seemed to guess something.

"When the queen mother was born, it happened that I had just given birth to my youngest son, and the house trusted me, so I made me the nurse of the eldest lady. The next year, there happened to be a great plague, my eldest son and daughter, as well as the old man, all died in that plague, only the younger son survived and depended on me, I regarded the eldest lady as my all, and all my heart and soul were thrown on her. The eldest lady is indeed outstanding, she was elected to the East Palace at the age of sixteen and canonized as the crown princess, I also followed the past, and later the emperor ascended the throne, and the eldest lady became the queen again, and I naturally followed into the middle palace. ”

"Auntie, don't worry, speak slowly." Qingwan saw that she was getting more and more emotional, and hurriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

Mrs. Zhu just continued: "The life in the palace is not so easy, how many concubines and princes are eyeing it there, and the eldest lady has not been easy these years, and only I can understand." Later, I finally gave birth to the prince, and life was better, we took care of it in every way, and we didn't dare to take it lightly, but we raised the prince, and my heart was more steady, thinking that I would be safe and sound from now on. Who knows, just five years ago, a major event happened in the palace, which is really unimaginable. The prince born to Su Guifei was originally quite sacred, all along, on the surface, to the queen is quite obedient, we are also on guard day and night, that spring, it is the time when the spring flowers bloom, the four princes suddenly contracted a serious illness, the whole palace turned upside down, how many doctors can not find out the reason, at that time the queen had two personal palace maids, both brought in from the Zhu Mansion, one is called a round fan, the other is called a group fan, has always been the queen mother as a heart, who knows that the group fan, bewitched by the Su family, actually exposed, It is said that the four princes were poisoned by the mandala flower. The mandala is a precious flower from the Western Regions, only in the queen's palace, so isn't it obvious that the queen framed it? ”
