Chapter 84: The Audience

Back in the house, the Cai family was uncomfortable, but the things that could be given to the queen always had to be bought. I had to tell Xichun to go out again, and pick a few who can get it.

As a result, nearly a hundred taels of silver were lost in his hand. It was like cutting meat.

"Madam, don't be sad, when you come back from the palace tomorrow, maybe the queen's reward will be better."

When Xichun said this, Cai's tears broke into laughter, "It makes sense, the things that the queen mother rewards can't be too shabby, and they must be worth one or two hundred taels." When the time comes, see how the second room will be sad. ā€

Thinking like this, Cai is in a good mood. I slept soundly all night, got up early the next day, dressed up, and waited to enter the palace for an audience.

When I walked outside the house, I happened to meet Su Ningxue, and recently there was a lot of rumors about Su Ningxue, and she had also heard about it. hasn't decided yet, she thinks it's too early to be complacent, what if Su Ningxue is fancied?

Pretending not to see it, she took a detour to avoid it.

Su Ningxue didn't know what happened in the store yesterday, and seeing that Cai's consciously avoided it, she was still happy to be idle, and continued to go to Mrs. Su's Yishou Garden, please be safe.

In Fengyi Palace, the queen sat at the top, and Lan Guifei Le Zhenglan sat on the side, and Su Ningyu was opposite, and the three women were talking and laughing, and they looked extremely harmonious on the surface. Until the little eunuch standing outside the door walked in and said softly: "Niangniang, Mrs. Cai of Sufu is here." ā€

"Pass it in." The queen's face was still the same. Lan Guifei lowered her head and drank tea, and there was no change in her eyes. Only Su Ningyu was extremely happy, touching this and that with both hands, he didn't know where to put it.

Seeing that Cai was led in by a palace maid, she almost rushed up rudely.

"Courtesy Cai Caihe visited the queen's mother, the concubine Niangniang, the side concubine Niangniang, and the concubine Jin'an."

"Well, flat." The queen said softly.

Cai Caihe was nervous, and the palace maid outside just now told her that there was still Concubine Lan in the palace, and Concubine Lan had always been at odds with the queen, so let her behave well.

It's the first time she entered the palace, it's a blessing not to make a mistake, and she still behaves well?

Cai's palms pinched a handful of sweat, and beads of sweat were also on his forehead, but fortunately it was summer, and no one thought it was strange.

"It's summer, and it's getting hotter and hotter every day, although there are ice cubes in each palace, but look, the concubines are sweating on their foreheads again." Lan Guifei suddenly said unhurriedly. Cai's hand tightened again, and he felt another layer of sweat on his forehead.

"Yes, Hongu also feels that it is hot. If my sister is really uncomfortable, it is better to go back first, but I heard that the emperor sent someone to send you a lot of things to dispel the heat a few days ago, which must be much more comfortable than the Fengyi Palace in this palace. ā€

"Hehehe, let the queen laugh, what the emperor gave to his concubines is just the rest of the sisters chosen, how can there be any good things."

Listen to this meaning, are you not ready to leave?

Queen Gurjia Suqing is not in a rut, with her many years of experience in dealing with Lan Guifei, Lan Guifei has made up her mind to hear what she wants to hear, if you insist on blocking it, she will do her best to inquire about you carefully.

In this case, it would be better to let her listen to something inconsequential here.

"Light, show Mrs. Cai. Mrs. Cai, it's hot in this palace, you can take care of it. ā€

"No, don't dare, it's a courtier who has never seen the world, and suddenly stepped into such a magnificent and gorgeous palace, and she was very excited for a while, but she lost her manners."

The queen said this, and gave Cai's steps down, and Cai's raised his hand and gently wiped the sweat off his forehead.

In fact, the Queen's Palace is quite cool, there are small ice boxes around the palace, and the cool air is bursting, and it is not hot and sweaty at all.

Cai sat down according to Su Ningyu, and as soon as she sat down, Su Ningyu hurriedly held her hand.

No matter how stupid she was, she knew that her mother was frightened.

"Concubine Su, don't worry, it's like this when you enter the palace for the first time, I think that the mother of this palace is not as calm and calm as your mother when she first enters the palace." Concubine Lan spoke again.

Su Ningyu was stunned, knowing that Concubine Lan's words were provocative, but she had to let go of Cai's hand, her eyes turned to the queen in panic, and she hurriedly withdrew it.

Cai's calmed down a lot at this time, and when he saw Su Ningyu being bullied, he smiled and replied: "The queen mother forgives her sins, Concubine Lan Guifei forgives her sins, Concubine Su has just not seen me for a long time, and she is thinking about it tightly, and it is impossible to worry."

The last time she returned to the door, she also told the courtiers that the lady treated her very well, was kind, and handled things modestly. No, I also brought some gifts to Niangniang before I came, to thank Niangniang for taking care of the side concubine. ā€

Cai's words fell, the queen's face looked much better, and it was not in vain that she spent her energy saving Cai's hand, this mouth can block Le Zhenglan once, it is worth it.

"What kind of gift, take it up and show it to this palace."

"It's all nourishing and beauty products, and I'm afraid I'll see too much in the palace." Cai said with a smile.

Someone outside the hall brought Cai's things up, and the queen saw that it was a box, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became deeper, and when she heard that it was beautiful, she couldn't help but say: "It won't be the most beautiful thing in the world, right?" The palace heard that the newly opened beauty shop in Jingling City has been selling extremely effective things, and it is of the highest quality.

Look, Concubine Lan Guifei just used the most beautiful thing in the world, and this palace looked at this face more and more dazzling, and this palace envied it for a long time, but it has not been used. ā€

"Look at what my sister said, you like to talk to the concubine, the concubine can still be reluctant to do this, but Ning Xue's girl bought it to make me happy." Lan Guifei said indifferently.

The box was handed to the queen and opened.

Cai was so ashamed that he wanted to bury his face in his collar.

The most beautiful in the world, isn't that the store opened by Su Jianbin? She walked in, but didn't get her hands on it. Forget it, she reluctantly cut the things she bought with double the money, but it was not what the queen wanted.

Money, is it spent in vain?

Sure enough, after the queen saw the contents of the box, her face sank, and she lost the pleasure just now. didn't comment on Cai's things, raised his hand to signal Qingruo to put things away, looked up and said to Lan Guifei:

"How else to say that your righteous daughter is sensible and likable, and she chooses the most popular one when she sends things."

These words imply that Su Ningyu does not understand people's hearts.

Cai bit his lip, but he couldn't say it. I didn't want Su Ningyu to be underestimated, so I had to raise my head and say: "The concubine Niangniang said that the world is the most beautiful, and the courtiers happen to know it, the owner of the shop is the second master of the Su family, the second brother of the courtiers." ā€

Turning his head and saying to the queen: "If I knew that the queen mother liked it, the courtiers would have brought some over, who knew that my second brother said that the things in the store were of low grade and were not worthy of the queen's nobility." The courtiers thought it made sense, so they chose something else. ā€

It means that Lan Guifei, who uses the most beautiful goods in the world, is of low grade?

The queen smiled faintly, "Mrs. Laosu has bothered, there has been no shortage of things in this palace, in fact, it doesn't matter what you buy, this palace is just curious." ā€

"Okay, it's been a while since you've been here, Concubine Su must have a lot to say to you, so you can step down."

"Yes, thank you for your grace."

Finally got through it, and Cai let out a long breath.

Stepping out of Fengyi Palace, her face looked a lot better, and she was about to walk forward quickly to say a few words to Su Ningyu. Behind her, Concubine Lan was supported by the maidservant, walked over slowly, and said with a smile: "I don't know when this palace became the most beautiful in the world and became the shop of Second Master Su, and how can you use it casually, Mrs. Cai."

This palace doesn't often go out of the palace, but it's not a nonsense that this palace believes, and this palace is not the queen's mother. Mrs. Cai, what do you say? ā€

Cai's skin tightened, and he subconsciously shook his head, not daring to refute.

Concubine Lan held her head high and walked slowly. "Mother." Su Ningyu walked over at this time, and Cai gently patted the back of her hand, "It's okay, Concubine Lan and the queen don't agree with each other, and it's normal for her to dislike me."

Don't worry, let's go, let's go back to your seat. ā€

"Hmm." Su Ningyu nodded, because Cai's words were a lot more relieved.

After Yun Yihong got married, he should have given the mansion to be crowned king and moved out of the palace to live. But the queen was reluctant to separate from her parents and children, and Yun Yihong naturally obeyed the queen's arrangement, so now they still live in the place where Yun Yihong lived before.

Su Ningyu led Cai's gang in, and the guard at the door said: "Concubine Niangniang, the eldest prince is back, and he is discussing important matters with Lord Guo in the main hall, please go to the side hall to receive Mrs. Cai." ā€

Su Ning was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "Isn't the eldest prince coming to see my mother?" ā€

The guard shook his head, "My subordinates don't know. ā€

That's all the words left by the eldest prince, and he has already told them all.

Su Ningyu's little face sank, obviously the first few times Guo Meimei's mother came over, the eldest prince personally received her. He didn't accompany her to Fengyi Palace today, and now that his mother is here, won't he come to see him?

"Mother, you go to the side hall and wait for me first, I-"

"Yu'er, don't worry too much."

"How can this work, it's rare for you to come, why didn't he come? If he doesn't come to see you, I don't know how to pass it on when I turn around in the palace. ā€

Su Ningyu has been in the palace for a while, and she has gradually grown up without the protection of the Cai family, at least she has begun to understand the horror of rumors. In the past, Cai's handled it for her, she just cried and cried, but now she has nowhere to be coquettish, she is fed up with those days when she was snubbed by Yun Yihong.

So she didn't allow it, she didn't allow herself to be criticized anymore.

"Hehe, Sister Su, you are so guts. The eldest prince is discussing important matters inside, is your mother's affairs important? So important that the eldest prince didn't even care about national affairs? ā€

"Guo Meimei, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Am I talking nonsense, everyone is watching, if you have the courage to go in, see if the eldest prince will come out happily, or wait for the queen mother to call you over and teach you a lesson. For your sake, the eldest prince has been punished by the emperor once, and now he is finally favored by the emperor again, if you make trouble again, I think you will be completely beaten into the cold palace, hum. ā€

Guo Meimei held her chin high and swaggered towards the main hall. Su Ning was stunned for a moment, and asked the guard next to her, "Why can she go in?" Are you joining forces to bully me?! ā€

"The subordinates don't dare, the side concubine Niangniang, the side concubine Guo can go in is also ordered by the eldest prince." The guard replied truthfully.

"Humph!"

When Cai saw this, how could he not understand. Su Ningyu said that she was favored, but in fact, Guo Meimei still had the final say in this place, who made the family the queen's daughter, and who made the father of the family help Yun Yihong in political affairs.

"Concubine Su, the queen sent a slave to spread the word, the time has come to visit, please be sure to send Mrs. Cai out of the palace on time."

"I—"

Behind him, standing lightly, Su Ningyu was so anxious that tears were about to flow out, but she had to let go and send Cai Shi away.

finally looked forward to the opportunity, but she didn't have time to talk to Cai's heart.
