Chapter 448 The Garden Gets Lost
Hearing this, Ning Xiyue lowered her eyes, and secretly adjusted the arc of the silver needle that had been prepared a little bit, and her face, which was originally a little smiling, became a little solemn.
She didn't think that Nalan Mingyue would suddenly be so abnormal to her, unless there was someone behind it, and this person who instructed her was most likely Mu Yue's Queen Mother.
At this moment, she didn't know what the purpose of the queen mother was, and she didn't dare to act rashly, if Nalan Shu left, then she didn't know how to deal with it.
Nalan Shu also saw Ning Xiyue's thoughts, but he had to leave again, and it was just a matter of redemption, this time he was going to the imperial study, if he made his father and the emperor anxious, something would happen.
Helpless, he had to stand up and look at Ning Xiyue with a sad face, "Xiao Yue'er, I'm afraid this matter is really not possible, I have to go to the imperial study, the father of this world ordered it yesterday, but don't worry, I will come back to you soon, Mingyue, take care of her, don't let those mothers-in-law bully Xiao Yue'er, otherwise you know the consequences." ”
Saying this, Nalan Shu's face sank, and his eyes looked at Nalan Mingyue with a little coldness, as if he was really threatening, as if he was pleading.
"Okay, okay, the imperial grandmother won't do anything to her, but she just wants this princess to have a better relationship with her." Nalan Mingyue smiled playfully, picked a huge grape from the table and put it in her mouth.
She looked at Nalan Shu impatiently, in order not to make Ning Xiyue on the side suspicious, she didn't urge too much, just sat on the side and ate the fruit with a smile.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, please!" Ning Xiyue frowned and shook the teacup in her hand, whether it was a blessing or a curse, it was a curse that could not be avoided.
It's just that what she didn't know was that this worry was unnecessary, and the queen mother of Shoukang Palace just wanted to chat with her as a side.
At this time, in a pavilion in the garden of Shoukang Palace, an old woman in a gorgeous dress sat on a soft couch, her temples were already gray, and even her hair was white.
Below her, a gray-haired old lady bowed respectfully, the old lady raised her eyes a little excitedly, and the corners of her mouth hung with heavy joy, "Queen Mother, that girl is like the little princess twenty years ago, but the same mold is carved out." ”
The Queen Mother was slightly stunned, her old arms propped herself up, and her wrinkled eyes were full of surprise, "What you said is true?" ”
"It's true, that Miss Ning is waiting in the palace at this moment, Queen Mother, do you want to go over and take a look?"
The old lady hurriedly stepped forward to support the queen mother, for fear that she would make any mistakes.
"This ...... It's not enough, didn't we raise Mingyue under our knees because she was a little similar to the poor child in Xue Palace? And the emperor didn't know that there was a Xue Palace there, and now Mingyue's child is more and more disliked by the mourning family, if the mourning family goes to see Ning Xiyue like this, I'm afraid it will be Mingyue's ......."
The Queen Mother looked at the old lady worriedly, and she was still happy because Ning Xiyue might be Xue Gong's daughter.
The Xue Gong in the mouth of the Queen Mother is Xue Qingyu's aunt, that is, the former Miss Xue Mansion.
Twenty years ago, there was a civil strife in Muyue, and although the Xue Mansion was not as rich as it is now, it was also one of the top merchants in the capital.
Xue Gong disappeared at that time, and since the rebellion twenty years ago, Xue Gong did not know where to go, and the Queen Mother did not want to find people back for a day, but Xue Palace seemed to have evaporated from the world and disappeared without a trace.
And the emperor of that year, that is, Emperor Muyue, didn't know that Xue Gong was her daughter, so she could only visit secretly, of course, the old lady of the Xue family also helped a lot in this matter.
The old lady realized that she was wrong, and lowered her eyes, "It's the old slave who is not thoughtful, you should be cautious, otherwise the emperor is afraid that he will be quite suspicious." ”
She looked at the Queen Mother distressedly, if it weren't for the incident thirty-five years ago, her mother should have both children and daughters, although this son is not her biological now, but it is also a good word.
At this time, the Queen Mother was also frowning, although there was a little joy on her face, but she couldn't show too much until Ning Xiyue's identity was confirmed.
In her mind, she kept recalling the first time she went to Xue Mansion to see Xue Palace, and there was a lot of sadness in her old eyes, and the grandmother next to her hurriedly reached out and wiped her eyes away with a silk handkerchief.
At this time, a crisp girl's voice came from not far away.
"Sister Xiyue, hurry up and chase after Princess Ben!" Nalan Mingyue ran briskly in front with a thick smile on her face.
The Queen Mother suddenly came to her senses, her eyes looked straight in the direction of the voice, and she seemed to be expecting something.
The old mother's eyes lit up, she supported the Queen Mother, with a little smile on the corner of her mouth, and said softly, "Niangniang, since you have met, then go over!" ”
The Queen Mother didn't speak, just looked not far away with anticipation, although Ning Xiyue's identity was still uncertain, but how much she hoped to find Xue Palace, even if she saw the children of Xue Palace, she was happy.
She saw Ning Xiyue coming from a distance, and her clean and wise eyes and appearance very similar to Xue Gong made her feel very cordial.
At that moment, she decided to try Ning Xiyue, no matter whether this girl was her granddaughter or not, she didn't want to see her as the queen mother, if she was an ordinary old lady, she must be more intimate!
Thinking like this, the Queen Mother's eyes slipped around, with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, and hurriedly pulled the clothes of the old lady beside her, "Take off your coat, exchange it with the mourning family, and then go to branch the bright moon." ”
Although the old lady didn't understand what the master meant, she still did it.
But speaking of Ning Xiyue, she followed Nalan Mingyue to this garden, but she was very familiar with the garden, and she had just arrived, and after turning around in this garden twice, Nalan Mingyue had already disappeared, and she didn't know what to do for a while.
She looked around anxiously, hoping that a palace maid would take her out and at least show her the way, but after waiting for a long time, no one passed by, and even Nalan Mingyue didn't come back to look for her.
"Girl, are you lost?" A silver-haired old woman came over with a cane, and the corners of her mouth were full of smiles, who was this not the Queen Mother.
Ning Xiyue was slightly stunned, and secretly looked at the old woman who suddenly appeared, and somehow, she always felt that her smile was a little weird, even if it was a kind smile.
But soon she figured it out, how to say that she was also invited by the Queen Mother, the palace people of this Shoukang Palace should all know, if she is lost, there should be palace people who will find her soon.
She slowly leaned down towards the old woman and smiled slightly, "Mother-in-law, I don't know how to get out of this garden?" Xiyue got lost here, and hoped that her mother-in-law would show her way. ”
Seeing that Ning Xiyue was so polite, the old woman smiled and nodded, looking very satisfied with her, "Xiyue, good name, sad ...... I'm very satisfied with you, just call me Granny Gu. ”
