Chapter 30: Summoned to the Palace
In order to allow Jiang Liuyu to take a good rest, Su Jingye was particularly concerned about the business in the shop. As soon as the business grew, the news spread to all corners of the world and successfully fell into the ears of the royal people.
"Is this the jade mushroom paste that has been popular in the capital recently," the queen sat in the side hall of her bedroom, listened to the report of her subordinates, and looked at the small porcelain jar in her hand by the way.
"Exactly, and when I heard about it, even the emperor was shocked." The eunuch who replied stood beside her with a deep bend.
"It's such a small thing, and it can make such a big wave." The queen put down the porcelain jar and did not bother to touch it, "Bring me the man who sells this thing, and I will see who has such power." ”
In Xishan Village at night, Su Jingye came back from a busy night, and Jiang Liuyu mysteriously pulled him away.
"What do you say, the queen is going to summon you?"
Su Jingye suddenly tightened his brows, although Jiang Liuyu felt that entering the palace was not a good thing, but it was not as serious as him.
"Don't worry, I've thought about it too, I don't participate in the fight between your princes, and I can't be a threat to her, the queen asked me to enter the palace, probably just for the matter of Yuzhi paste, and it doesn't work if I want to ask."
Jiang Liuyu patted Su Jingye's hand, "If the queen wants to compete for favor in the palace, she must care more about her appearance than ordinary people." I have faith in my Yuzhi cream, as long as I say a few more kind words, I guess she doesn't need to embarrass me. ”
"You're thinking too simply." Su Jingye sighed, "If she can sit in the position of queen, it is impossible for her to be without scheming." Even if you don't pose any threat for a while, they will still find an opportunity to use you to secure themselves in the future. ”
"In short, you must be cautious, if there is anything wrong, you must tell me when you come back, this is the first time I have seen you, and she will not embarrass you, and she will tell the truth."
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid." Jiang Liuyu smiled sweetly, making Su Jingye worry about her.
At dawn the next day, the carriage from the palace stopped in Xishan Village, and because there were eunuchs and guards guarding the side, the villagers did not dare to come forward, and only privately discussed who they were here to pick up.
Jiang Liuyu changed into a new beautiful dress, so as not to fall into the laughing stock in the palace. Liu worriedly gave her a dress, and her eyebrows were full of sorrow.
"Yu'er, there are many rules in this palace, you can't talk nonsense casually like outside, you have to carefully consider every word in your heart." Jiang Mingyu stood in front of her with his hands behind his back, and he also looked worried, "When you see someone in the palace, kneel down and salute first, and it's not strange that many people salute." It will also reduce the number of people who will stumble you in the back. ”
"Don't worry, Dad, mother, my daughter is self-controlled." Jiang Liuyu bowed goodbye to the second elder, and then looked at Su Jingye, "I'll go first." ”
Su Jingye was reluctant to look back and nodded.
Jiang Mingyu took Liu reluctantly back to the house, and Su Jingye was still standing at the door. After a while, when there was no one around, Su Jingye shouted softly: "Dark Guard." ”
Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared behind him, "Your Highness." ”
"The first time she entered the palace, she sent someone to watch it carefully, and she was not allowed to go out on any business trips."
"Yes." As soon as the Dark Guard responded, he disappeared. Su Jingye took a deep breath and felt a little relieved.
Walking to the carriage, the eunuch politely carried her into the carriage, and then raised his voice: "Go." ”
The sharp voice directly drilled into Jiang Liuyu's ears, Jiang Liuyu was a little unaccustomed, and hurriedly turned his head to look at the scenery outside.
The carriage traveled for about an hour and a half, and finally entered the palace when Jiang Liuyu was drowsy.
The palace is full of majestic palaces and elaborate carved balustrades, which are even more beautiful than what you usually see on TV. Jiang Liuyu got out of the car, glanced at it roughly, lowered his head, and obediently followed behind the little eunuch.
The little eunuch took Jiang Liuyu on a secluded road, and only palace maids and eunuchs came and went on the road, avoiding encounters with some people of status. Jiang Liuyu followed him to the side hall of the queen's bedroom, and then waited outside obediently.
The little eunuch went in to reply, and after a while, someone came out and asked Jiang Liuyu to come in. Jiang Liuyu stepped into the door, and as soon as he looked up, he saw the graceful and luxurious queen sitting on the main seat, and couldn't help but stay in place.
The superior wears a red skirt robe, with a pearlescent phoenix crown on his head, and a bright ruby hairpin, the two colors complement each other, and he is extraordinarily rich and atmospheric. Because of the good maintenance, Jiang Liuyu can't tell her age, and her beautiful and delicate face is like a hibiscus out of water, which looks particularly tender.
"Bold." The grandmother beside the queen scolded Jiang Liuyu before waking him up. Jiang Liuyu was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down and bowed her head, "The folk girl was shocked by Niangniang's beautiful and dignified appearance, and she didn't want to collide with Niangniang, and hoped that Niangniang would forgive her sins." ”
How could a woman be praised and unhappy, the queen proudly nodded her nose with a handkerchief, and smiled with her hand: "That's it, you get up." ”
"Xie Niangniang." Jiang Liuyu gathered his body and mind and listened attentively to the movements in the palace.
"Look up." The queen called, Jiang Liuyu obediently raised her eyes, and the queen nodded, "It's a beautiful girl, what's your name?" ”
"Back to the queen's mother, the people's daughter Jiang Liuyu." The little eunuch told her at the beginning that she had to be called completely when she replied, otherwise everyone in the palace would call her Niangniang, and if she didn't know which one she called, it would be easier to offend people.
"Look at you, you're only in your teens, and you really have the ability to manage such a big business." The queen casually praised it, and asked someone to take out her usual beauty cream.
Seeing this, Jiang Liuyu hurriedly praised it back, "The folk girl is just a little smart, how can she compare to the queen's mother, Hui and Lanxin, who has every opportunity, and can still maintain such a young and beautiful appearance, I don't know how many people in the world envy it." ”
Saying that, Jiang Liuyu took out the Yuzhi paste she brought with her, "The people are not talented, and the Yuzhi paste made can moisturize the skin, and I am willing to dedicate it to the queen, the icing on the cake." ”
With a look from the queen, a little eunuch ran down and presented the thing that Jiang Liuyu was holding high. Mama stretched out her hand and took the Yuzhi paste, opened the lid and put it on her hand, picked a little bit with her fingernails and tasted it before daring to hand it to the queen. The queen twisted it and took only a little bit from her fingertips and applied it to the back of her left hand. After that, she put some of her beauty balm on her other hand and let it sit for a while before comparing.
"Look, it's better than the ointment commonly used in this palace." The queen stroked her left hand, and felt a slippery feeling when she started it.
"To be loved by the queen is the blessing of this Yuzhi paste." Jiang Liuyu was a little relieved, as long as she could please the queen, she would be safe today.
