Chapter 240: Returning Home 5
Emperor Mingzong shook his head helplessly, and seeing that Lin Ruo was reluctant, he ordered her a few more words: "This matter, I will be secretly investigated, so don't take risks." The New Year is approaching, Chong'er is not in Beijing, and there are many people coming and going in the city, so you must remember not to take risks. This is the Divine Decree and must be obeyed! ”
Lin Ruo pursed her mouth: "Yes, Minhui will take the order......"
"If you feel that staying in King Rong's Mansion is too lonely, you can go back to Lin Mansion more often, or come to the palace to accompany your imperial grandmother, Xijiao is always thinking of coming to you."
Emperor Mingzong glanced at Lin Ruo, seeing that she was still lacking in interest.
Nonsense, this is tantamount to a directional "grounding"!
But Lin Ruo also understood that this was for her safety.
Anyway, most of the places she wants to go to are just a few places, at most, she will go to Xiangxuehai or the Lin family's shop to go around, and then let Wu Yi arrange a few more people to follow.
"By the way, there's one more thing."
"Your Majesty, please command."
"Recently, don't go to the crown princess."
Lin Ruo frowned and asked puzzledly, "Why is this?" ”
"There have been a lot of rights and wrongs in the East Palace recently, don't you get involved, the crown princess ordered someone to invite her, and she pushed it too!"
When it came to Su Muqing, Emperor Mingzong's tone was full of dissatisfaction, but he didn't say what it was.
Lin Ruo observed his words and felt that it was a very unwise thing to ask Emperor Mingzong about the reason at this moment, so he asked tentatively: "This is also a holy decree?" ”
“……”
"Oh, Minhui takes it."
Emperor Mingzong looked at Lin Ruo helplessly, angry and funny.
For Shanglin Ruo's serious attitude towards receiving orders, he couldn't say anything, so he could only "warn" again, and if he had already received the order, he couldn't resist the order, so he sent her to Zhaoming Hall to greet the queen mother.
Out of the imperial study, Lin Ruo took two steps, turned back again, glanced in the direction where Emperor Mingzong was, and then turned around, supported by Youcao, followed the little eunuch who led the way, and went to Zhaoming Palace.
She was already familiar with the road in the palace, especially the road from the imperial study to the Zhaoming Palace, as well as the road to the Qinmei Palace.
But this time, her state of mind was very different.
If what Han Shizheng said is true, then the Empress Dowager is her aunt, and Emperor Mingzong is her cousin.
If her appearance is really nine points similar to her maternal grandmother, then the Queen Mother should have recognized her a long time ago, right?
The queen mother recognizes her as her granddaughter, does it mean this?
If so, what will the Queen Mother do?
Lin Ruo shook his head and threw the thought out of his mind. In any case, the imperial grandmother really treated her well, whether it was because she had the blood of the Qu family or not.
There is no blood relationship, and she will also be filial to the Queen Mother; has a blood relationship, and she should be more filial to the queen mother. Therefore, what her identity is, it has no impact on how she treats the Queen Mother.
In this case, how he used to get along with the imperial grandmother is still how it is now.
Thinking of this, the Zhaoming Hall has also arrived. Lin Ruo entered the palace to greet the Queen Mother, talk to her, coax her to be happy, tell interesting things about the trip to Beiqi, and care about the Queen Mother's diet and daily life in the past few months. The grandparents and grandchildren were happy, which made the people who served in the Zhaoming Hall feel comfortable.
The laughter spread outside the Zhaoming Palace, and the people who had planned to go in to say goodbye stopped their tracks.
"That person is Lin Ruo, the woman who married King Rong?"
The person who spoke, judging from the back, was similar to Lin Ruo's figure, but his height was a little longer than Lin Ruo's; Looking more closely, the eyebrows and eyes are a little similar to Lin Ruo. is of a similar age, but unlike Lin Ruo, his words and deeds are a little more sassy and capable. It's obviously a cold day, but she is not like other women, wrapped in thick hair.
"Yes, she is the Lord of Minhui." The person who answered the woman's words was Princess Ning Qin Qin, "The people in the palace like her very much, especially the imperial grandmother and father." Her marriage with King Rong was not only decreed by the emperor to give marriage, but also condescended to the royal grandmother together, and personally went to King Rong's mansion to preside over the marriage, this honor, even His Royal Highness the Prince and the third princess did not have it! ”
"Really? It seems that he is a very versatile opponent. ”
"Opponents? Xiaoxiang, you ...... Can't let go of Prince Rong? ”
This woman who is somewhat similar to Lin Ruo is the fifth lady of Qufu, the only woman in Donglu who holds military power, and Qu Xiaoxiang, the "Governor of Fengyang" personally named by the emperor.
After hearing Qin Qin's words, Qu Xiaoxiang smiled wryly: "How could it be? I don't want to be small. ”
Qin Qin didn't respond to Qu Xiaoxiang's words, stared at her for a long time, and then asked, "It's all at the gate of Zhaoming Palace, aren't you going to say hello to the imperial grandmother?" ”
Qu Xiaoxiang waved his hand: "Another day." My aunt and grandmother are old, and they see too many customers, which is not good for their health. ”
With that, Qu Xiaoxiang turned around neatly and left the Zhaoming Palace.
Qin Qin looked at Qu Xiaoxiang, then turned his head to look in the direction of Zhaoming Palace, frowned, and then caught up with Qu Xiaoxiang and left the palace together.
In the past four months since he left the northern border, Lin Ruo has been able to receive news from the capital, both from the Lin family and from Murong Chong's subordinates. Therefore, she has some understanding of what is happening in Beijing.
It's just that Su Muqing's incident was unexpected by her.
Either because it happened on her way back, or because the person who inquired about the news had no way to know about such palace secrets.
But Lin Ruo is more inclined to the former - as the prince's brother-in-law and the princess's brother-in-law, Su Muyu will definitely tell Lin Ruo about Su Muqing's recent situation, especially Su Muqing's bad life, after all, this is a very happy thing for Su Muyu.
It is not uncommon for the relationship between the two sisters and brothers to be ossified to this point, but it is really rare for someone like Su Muyu to blatantly cheer.
Therefore, when Qu Xiaoxiang, the lord of Fengyang County, who had been in southern Xinjiang for a long time and didn't know all the things in Bian'an, heard the news, he was quite surprised: there are such strange sisters and brothers in this world!
So, I specially inquired about all the circumstances of this Su Shizi, I thought it would take a lot of effort, but I didn't expect that the legendary deeds of this Su Shizi have almost reached the point where everyone in Bian'an City knows about it, and even gave a complete skull as a birthday gift for the lord of Minhui, which is the talk of the people after dinner.
In this regard, Qu Xiaoxiang could only pull the corners of his mouth: This Su Shizi is really unexpected!
Of course, what she cares about most is not these, but Su Muyu's relationship with the crown princess and the Jingping Marquis Mansion, as well as his relationship with the county lord Minhui - no, now Princess Rong - is now.
This Marquis of Jingping is indeed different, his relationship with the Marquis of Jingping and his wife and the crown princess Su Muqing is really bad! However, when Qu Xiaoxiang was unknowingly trying to provoke Su Muyu to deal with the crown princess, he found that the prince of Jingping was unexpectedly not fooled, and even made the Jingping Marquis Mansion wary.
Qu Xiaoxiang really couldn't understand what this Jingping Marquis of Shizi thought.
However, Qu Xiaoxiang is not the only one who can't guess Su Muyu's thoughts, but even Lin Ruo, who has not met for more than four months, is a little unsure of Su Boyu's thoughts.
