Chapter 667: The Queen's Olive Branch
The imperial concubine was stunned, and then pursed her lips, she never thought that Fang Youning would actually come over at this time.
It turned out that Fang Youning had already learned that the imperial concubine wanted to invite Jiang Yingli into the palace, so she had already been guarding the palace gate, waiting for Jiang Yingli to enter the palace together.
Jiang Yingli glanced at Fang Youning gratefully, and then saw that the imperial concubine looked aggrieved, and her heart was a lot happier.
The imperial concubine was just looking for an excuse to let Jiang Yingli enter the palace, so seeing that this topic was taken away, she didn't mean to continue this topic, so she smiled and asked the palace maid to send a few plates of snacks, wanting to block Fang Youning's mouth, and then she looked at Jiang Yingliang and said.
"Yingli, I seem to have heard that Ding Shi was injured, what's going on? In this capital, you will still be injured, is it offended to someone? ”
Jiang Yingli was a little depressed when she saw that the imperial concubine suddenly mentioned Qiu Muyun, but she couldn't help but answer, so she cautiously replied to the imperial concubine's words, that is, she didn't want to be cheated by the other party.
After playing Tai Chi as if you were going back and forth, gradually, the time was consumed until noon, and the Imperial Concubine and Jiang Yingli were also a little helpless after playing Tai Chi a few times, she didn't expect Jiang Yingli to defend so strictly.
However, this made her more curious, so she didn't rush the two out of the palace, but smiled and let the two stay for dinner.
"Why would the queen mother suddenly want to invite Lord Jiang and Princess Youning over, fake the queen's message, be careful that the palace will punish you." The imperial concubine looked at the palace maid beside the queen and said with some displeasure.
The palace maid was neither humble nor arrogant, but the etiquette was done, and after saluting the imperial concubine, she said: "Imperial concubine Niangniang, the slave maid brought is indeed the queen's mother's message, she has been stuffy in the palace these days, I heard that after the county lord Jiang and Princess Youning came to the palace, I wanted to find the two of them to relieve the boredom, and asked the imperial concubine to be sympathetic to her hard work in taking care of the harem on weekdays, so let the county lord and Princess Youning go over." ”
When it comes to this, the imperial concubine has nothing to say, and besides, now is not a good time to face the queen, so she can only grit her teeth and send Jiang Yingli and the two away with a sad smile.
On the way, Jiang Yingli looked at the palace maid walking in front and couldn't help but smile and said: "This palace maid sister, the queen lady seems to have been in a lot better recently, has she come out of the haze of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
The palace maid didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but when she turned around, she revealed a lot of news: "Lord Jiang, your eyes are really good, the queen mother has indeed come out of the haze of His Royal Highness the Prince, and recently the emperor has often gone to the mother's bedroom, and now the queen mother has been favored again, and naturally her mood is a lot better, and her body is naturally better." ”
The palace maid paused in her tone and reminded: "By the way, later, after Lord Jiang and Princess Youning go to the Niangniang's dormitory with the slave maid, please take care of the queen's emotions." ”
Jiang Yingli didn't expect this palace maid to be so frank, and she didn't know whether to believe it or not for a while, but she felt strange, and after smiling, she nodded and didn't say anything more, but she wondered in her heart why the queen would regain her favor.
Fang Youning also looked at each other, exchanged a look, and made a tacit decision to wait until the past to see the situation.
……
"Coming?"
The queen raised her eyes lazily, raised her hand to take the soup bowl handed over by the palace maid, and frowned slightly, as if she was displeased.
Jiang Yingli didn't expect that as soon as she came over, she met the queen taking medicine, smelling the smell of medicine in the air, and she couldn't help but start analyzing what kind of medicine the queen was taking.
The queen didn't notice Jiang Yinglian's actions at all, and asked Jiang Yingliang and Fang Youning while drinking medicine: "What did you talk about at the imperial concubine?" ”
The two did not hide it, and directly repeated everything they had just said.
After the queen wiped her mouth after drinking the medicine, she chuckled and said: "Now it's time for dinner, and you are also specially invited by the palace to come over for dinner, in this case, let's talk while eating." ”
Jiang Yingli and Fang Youning looked at each other, but they did not refuse, and sat down very simply to eat with the queen.
It's just that this is a Hongmen banquet after all, Jiang Yingli is a little unate, but even so, she doesn't dare to offend the queen, so she can only endure the discomfort in her heart and eat food with Fang Youning.
The queen had a great appetite, and after eating, the queen raised her hand directly and said: "Okay, let's remove it, you all go out, just stay here to accompany the county lord of Jiang and say a few words of self-consideration." ”
As soon as these words came out, Fang Youning was the first to change his face, and then said with a smile: "Queen Mother, why don't you let me stay too, it just so happens that I have heard a lot of stories there, I can tell you about it." ”
Last time, Jiang Yingli suffered a big loss when she was here with the queen, but now Fang Youning didn't dare to let the two of them stay alone in the same room anymore.
Hearing Fang Youning's words, the queen raised her eyes and looked at her with a smile: "What's the matter, protecting Jiang Yingli so much, don't worry, this palace has now regained its holy grace, and it won't do anything stupid again." ”
Jiang Yingli and Fang Youning didn't expect the queen to be so straightforward, and they were a little embarrassed for a while.
Seeing this, the queen snorted lightly, but still insisted: "Besides, my son died so miserably, even if I want to take revenge, I won't look for such a small role as Jiang Yingliang, you can go out with confidence, go to the side hall to eat snacks, drink tea, and later the palace will guarantee that you will be able to bring the county lord Jiang back safe and sound, and you will definitely not be given a hair missing." ”
After the queen said this, her eyes fell on Jiang Yinglian's body, and then said in a threatening tone: "Or, don't leave the palace today, now the palace is still a little thin in the emperor's place, if the palace wants to keep the two of you overnight, presumably the emperor will not refuse." ”
Fang Youning didn't expect the queen to make this move, and she was a little angry for a while, but she received Jiang Yingliang's eye signal, gritted her teeth to extinguish the anger in her heart, smiled and said: "Since the queen mother has talked about this, then I naturally have nothing to say." ”
After speaking, she cleared her throat and raised her eyebrows and said: "However, the queen mother has to speak, I will sit in the side hall next to me, if there is any movement here, I will not sit still, the queen mother has a little face in the emperor, after all, my husband is also the emperor's son, and he will have a little thin face at that time." ”
