Chapter 265: A Thousand Autumn Banquet 2
After carefully learning about the Queen Mother's physical condition from the Imperial Hospital, Lin Ruoxin was a little sure, listed all the things to be prepared, and asked people to send them to the imperial dining room, and then went to the Zhaoming Palace to greet the Queen Mother.
Every time there is a banquet in the palace, the Zhaoming Hall will be particularly lively. Especially the Thousand Autumn Banquet.
The older the Queen Mother gets, the more she likes the pleasure of being surrounded by her children and grandchildren. What's more, because it is the New Year, the juniors all come to Beijing to celebrate. Zhennanhou, who has not even been in Beijing for ten years, also returned to Beijing with his son and daughter, which is naturally very lively.
Lin Ruo quickened his pace, but was suddenly stopped by a helpless maidservant.
"County Lord, you're here! Madame is over there, please come with me. ”
Lin Ruo was stunned for a moment, this maid looked at her eyes, and she didn't know which palace it was. Moreover, when I saw her, it was even more strange to call her "county lord" instead of "princess".
Seeing that Lin Ruo hadn't followed, the maid hurriedly turned back, and was about to cry out in a hurry: "County Lord, Madame's leg is sick, come with me!" ”
I don't know who the "lady" in the maid's mouth is, but the anxiety on her face can't be faked.
Lin Ruo thought for a moment, and then prepared to move to follow.
Youcao vigilantly pulled Lin Ruo and reminded in a low voice: "Miss! ”
Lin Ruo patted her hand, said "It's okay", and let the maid lead the way.
When I turned to a sheltered porch, I saw a middle-aged woman dressed in a blue curtain sitting under the porch, wrinkling her eyebrows, supported by several maidservants, or rubbing her legs, but it seemed to have no effect.
The maidservant who led the way hurriedly greeted her and saluted, saying, "Madam, the lord of the county is here!" ”
The woman raised her eyebrows and was about to speak, but when she found that the person who had come was not what she was looking for, she said, "Are you ...... Princess Rong, right? ”
The maidservant who led the way was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lin Ruo carefully: Princess Rong? Isn't it the county lord of Fengyang?
Lin Ruo ignored the other party's surprise, stepped forward, and bowed: "Mrs. Xuanlu." ”
After that, he handed over the warm stove in his hand to Youcao, and waved away the maid who helped Mrs. Xuanlu rub her legs, walked to Mrs. Xuanlu and squatted down, and said, "Madam, it's rude." ”
Without waiting for Mrs. Xuanlu to respond, Lin Ruo reached out and pinched all parts of Mrs. Xuanlu's knees, and while observing Mrs. Xuanlu's expression, he asked Mrs. Xuanlu where the pain was in due time.
After being confirmed, he got up, called Leng Shu to appear, and told him to go to the Tai Hospital to get a few flavors of medicine and mash them into medicine puree, and send them quickly.
"Youcao, give me the stove."
Lin Ruo gave a faint order, took the stove handed by Youcao, put it on Mrs. Xuanlu's lap, and asked the maid to help Mrs. Xuanlu warm up first according to what she said, and then let her knead it simply to relieve the pain. It wasn't until Leng Shu came back and sent the gauze wrapped in medicinal mud that Lin Ruo asked the maid to stop.
"Madame's knees have been injured and she has caught a cold, so she is very susceptible to illness and cannot move."
Mrs. Xuanlu nodded: "That's true." ”
"You turn around and help Madame block the cold wind, and I'll give Madame medicine."
Mrs. Xuanlu's maidservants immediately obeyed the order and surrounded Mrs. Xuanlu tightly.
Lin Ruo baked the medicinal mud close to the stove for a while, and then pushed up Mrs. Xuanlu's thick jacket and pants, and tied the warm medicinal mud outside the underwear.
"Is that okay?"
The medicine mud has never been attached to the skin, and Mrs. Xuanlu is a little puzzled.
Lin Ruo smiled, and while wrapping Mrs. Xuanlu's knees tightly, she explained: "It's just an emergency, and it will relieve Mrs. Xuanlu's pain." When Mrs. can move, someone will send Mrs. to the hospital in a soft sedan chair. ”
Mrs. Xuanlu nodded, feeling the warm temperature of the medicinal mud on her knees, which seemed to really evacuate the pain little by little.
"There's Princess Lau Rong. I originally asked someone to inform Fengyang, but I didn't expect my maid to mistake Princess Rong for Princess Rong. ”
Lin Ruo smiled lightly: "Madame doesn't have to be polite, just call me senhui." I have heard many people say that I look a little similar to the lord of Fengyang, and it is understandable that Madame's maidservant was worried about Madame's leg disease, and she didn't look carefully in a hurry. However, it is also Minhui's honor to be able to help Mrs. Minhui. ”
Mrs. Xuanlu looked at Lin Ruo and nodded with satisfaction: "You and Feng Yang do have some similarities in appearance, but their temperaments are very different. Feng Yang is a tomboy, unlike you, delicate, gentle and lovely. ”
"Madame is overrated."
Mrs. Xuanlu waved her hand, with a bit of a man's boldness: "Don't be too modest. The Queen Mother praises you like that! I'm curious, though, how did you find out who I am? ”
Lin Ruoqian said with a smile: "I often enter the palace, and the ladies and ladies of each family have met each other and are familiar with each other. First, the lady is born and rarely enters Beijing. Second, the lady does not lose the heroic spirit of the eyebrows. Third, Madame's maidservant recognized me as the lord of Fengyang. That's why I guessed the identity of Madame. ”
Mrs. Xuanlu nodded and praised, "He is indeed a smart child." ”
"When I was a child, I heard my uncle tell the story of his wife, and I was fascinated and admired. I was really happy to have the pleasure of meeting my wife today. ”
"What's so exciting?"
Mrs. Xuanlu's voice was a little ethereal, and her eyes were wrapped in a layer of sadness, which was extremely long.
Bereavement of brothers, husbands, daughters, the impossibility of having children, and sickness.
Such a life, in fact, a sentence of "women don't let the eyebrows" praise can be erased?
But Mrs. Xuanlu wouldn't know that the fate of the smiling girl in front of her was not much better than her.
In the previous life, he was trapped by love and died with hatred. Finally, he was pitiful and reborn, but he was born and lost his mother, his father was disgusted, his eldest sister died tragically, and he was riddled with illness.
But Lin Ruo is still enjoying life freely.
Of course, with others present, Lin Ruo would not speak out to tell his sad past.
However, Mrs. Xuanlu has a general understanding of Lin Ruo, and after entering Beijing, she has heard the Queen Mother babble a lot, and she also knows Lin Ruo's true identity. Even if he was originally suspicious of this niece, when he saw her face, he completely believed it. What's more, Lin Ruo, who clearly didn't know her background, had a gentle smile that made people want to get close, and carefully helped her relieve the pain of her leg disease, which made Mrs. Xuanlu like this girl in her heart.
So, Mrs. Xuanlu couldn't help but open the conversation box and asked about Lin Ruo's situation with concern like an elder.
Lin Ruo replied one by one.
After a while, I heard Qu Xiaoxiang's eager voice: "Auntie, aunt!" Are you okay! ”
Mrs. Xuanlu laughed neatly twice and said, "It's okay, it's okay." Thanks to Minhui, I can already move. ”
As he spoke, he symbolically moved twice, not to mention, the pain was not obvious, and he moved quite flexibly!
Qu Xiaoxiang saw Lin Ruo beside Mrs. Xuanlu at this time, and blurted out: "It's you again?" ”
Lin Ruo raised his eyebrows and smiled, and asked curiously, "Why did the county lord say 'again'?" ”
