Su Nianjin's prediction was right, when they arrived at the Buddha Hall, Aunt Qin, the palace maid in front of the queen, was already waiting.

"County Lord Su, you're here!"

"Aunt Qin......" Su Nianjin made a casual salute, "Why are you here?" ”

"Yesterday, when the county lord Su came to greet Niangniang, Niangniang was praying for the emperor's blessing, so the palace people didn't pass it on." Aunt Qin explained, "After the mother found out, she reprimanded the palace people, saying that the county lord had just returned to Beijing to ask her for peace, and she really had a heart, so she asked the old slave to wait outside this Buddhist hall, so as not to let the palace people get the time for the queen to pray for blessings when the county lord Su came again, and let down the county lord Su's intentions." ”

"The queen has a heart." The county lord of Su said with a little emotion, "I don't know if Nian Jin will disturb the queen mother if she goes to say goodbye to the queen now?" ”

"Don't bother, the queen mother is just resting." Aunt Qin said as she led Su Nianjin to the Buddhist hall, "County Master Su, you come with the old slave." ”

This Buddhist hall located in the harem is not large, except for a Buddha statue.

The queen set up a simple bed in the main hall, and lived in it these days, although it was only nominally praying for the emperor, but this condition was still bitter for her.

When Su Nianjin entered the Buddhist hall, the queen mother was half-lying on the simple bed, holding the Buddhist scriptures in her hand and flipping through them.

"Nian Jin greets the queen, and the mother is blessed."

"It's Nian Jin's girl." The queen put down the book in her hand and beckoned to Su Nianjin kindly, "Look at this girl, why did you lose a lot of weight in this trip to Jiangnan?" Have you suffered along the way? The fourth child is too, how can he not know pity and cherish the jade along the way! ”

"The fourth prince is thinking about the affairs of the family and the country, and Nian Jin just wants not to drag the fourth prince back, which is already the greatest satisfaction." Su Nianjin responded with a smile, "Besides, Nian Jin is deliberately thin, just to let the queen mother see it, and feel sorry for Nian Jin." ”

"Mama Qin, look at Nian Jin's little mouth, it's actually coquettish." The queen mother lovingly held Su Nianjin's hand, "Okay, good, this palace feels sorry for you...... Now that I'm back, I'm recuperating and trying to get my body well. ”

"Mama Qin, when Nian Jin leaves in a while, you go to the warehouse to get a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum for Nian Jin, and let her take it back to recuperate."

Su Nianjin was flattered, "Queen Mother, how can this be done?" ”

"What's the matter? The emperor is an imperial uncle of Prince Yan, and you are the only godgranddaughter of the imperial uncle, so it is right to be good to you. The queen said kindly, "We women, we just have to be good at raising." Look at you, these little hands, it's so cold that it's not good for you. Why don't you ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look at you? ”

"No need." Su Nianjin withdrew her hand, "Nianjin's cold hands and feet have been a problem since childhood, and there is no major problem, so you don't need to bother the doctor." What's more, the emperor is not well now, so it is better to let the imperial doctors stay in front of the emperor. ”

The emperor was seriously ill and didn't see a doctor to treat the emperor, so he just had a cold hand and called the doctor over. If this matter spreads, and he has the emperor's jade plate in his hand, he may end up detaining himself with a house arrest and usurping the throne.

The queen mother really kills people without seeing blood, and she can't prevent it!

"Look at your girl's worries about the emperor, the emperor really didn't hurt you in vain." Even if she was rejected, the queen mother still did not change her face, and said with a smile, "Alas, this palace stays in the Buddha hall, praying for the emperor day and night, and I don't know if God can feel the sincerity of this palace......"

"The queen mother is so pious, the Buddha must be able to sense the Tao."

The queen took a fancy to Su Nianjin, "I hope so." The palace is old, and the energy has not been as good as before in the past few years, and it is not as energetic as the sister of the virtuous concubine to serve in front of the emperor's dragon couch. I heard that even Concubine De's sister went to the Qianqing Palace to serve the emperor today? ”

"Concubine De is worried about the emperor, and she is worried that Concubine Xian will not be able to serve alone, so she took the initiative to help." Su Nianjin responded, "Nianjin was also surprised to see Concubine De Niangniang appear in Qianqing Palace this morning." ”

The queen smiled, "Concubine De must have been moved by Nian Jin's filial piety to the emperor, so she left Changxin Palace." Nian Jin, you may not know that Concubine De's sister is a very assertive person, if she wasn't willing, she wouldn't be able to move the eight sedan chairs. ”

"The queen mother is too uplifting Nian Jin, how can Nian Jin have such great ability."

"Look at what you say, this family doesn't speak two words," the queen shook her head, "You are now the fourth child, although you are not a concubine, but you are also half a daughter-in-law......"

"Queen Mother......" Su Nianjin looked at the queen in panic, and her voice was also crying, "Nianjin is still a yellow flower girl, and she doesn't have that relationship with the fourth prince at all......"

"Huh?" The queen was surprised, "You and the fourth...... Not that kind of relationship? ”

Su Nianjin shook her head, "No." ”

"Then how did the palace hear that you two are ......" The queen looked at Su Nianjin slightly apologetically, "This fourth child is really, since he didn't mean that to you, he shouldn't be involved with you...... Look at the present, it will affect your reputation more, which will make you how to marry in the future! ”

Su Nianjin lowered her head and looked aggrieved.

"Okay, don't be wronged." The queen soothed, "What about the fourth? Where, Nian Jin girl, you go and bring him to the palace, and the palace wants to educate him. As a prince, why don't you have any defense between men and women. ”

"The queen thinks so much about Nian Jin, Nian Jin is not aggrieved." Su Nianjin raised her head, still showing a sad expression on her face, "The fourth prince has always treated Nianjin with courtesy, but some people who don't distinguish between right and wrong like to spread some rumors, so that the queen mother will hear such rumors." However, Nian Jin believes that the body is not afraid of crooked shadows, and those who are clear are self-purifying, and they don't need to pay attention to those gossip. ”

"Nian Jin, having said that, it is really not good for your reputation to have such a thing, isn't this palace worried that you will not be able to marry!" The queen said, "There is still more than a month before you turn eighteen, that is, you will be nineteen years old...... If you look at the Great Xia Kingdom, a girl who has not married at the age of nineteen is an old girl who can't be married, and she will be poked in the backbone. ”

"If you don't want to marry Nian Jin because of this bit of gossip, then Nian Jin won't have a good life in the past." Su Nianjin thought about it and said seriously, "So it's okay not to marry." ”

"Since you have said so, then this palace will not say much." The queen and Su Nianjin chatted a few more words, and Nianjin got up and said goodbye.

"Niangniang, is this Su County Lord easy to clean up?" Mama Qin came back after sending Su Nianjin away.
