216, Queen

A look of indignation suddenly appeared on Hui Jing's face, "I just came here two days ago, and I donated twenty taels of sesame oil money!" It's just that Ah Lian's arrogant appearance when she came was too dazzling, and the pride when she donated the sesame oil money made Hui Jing want to smash the twenty taels of silver on her face.

Xu Shu couldn't help but be dumbfounded, the beggar who was once so poor that he had to rely on fasting to wrap his stomach has now turned into a pilgrim who came to donate sesame oil money, and the world has changed so fast!

After sighing, Xu Shu put it down, she just asked casually, and she didn't take it to heart.

The next day really set off very early, the genius Meng Mengliang was responsible for picking up the carriage of Miaofan Shitai and others was already waiting at the gate of Hanxi Temple, Miaofan Shitai and a group of disciples who participated in the practice got on the car in an orderly manner, Xu Shu took his own carriage to follow the back of the team, because of following the carriage in the palace, and there were guards to open the way, Xu Shu's carriage entered the palace gate for the first time, but it didn't go far to change the pace.

The Empress Dowager invited Mrs. Miaofan to come to give birth to the queen, and the place of the practice was naturally in Kunning Palace, and because the Empress Dowager wanted to preside over today's palace banquet, Mrs. Miaofan and others were directly led to Kunning Palace.

The queen was pregnant for three months, her pregnant belly was not revealed, she was wearing a scarlet palace dress, she swept her eyebrows lightly, and leaned lazily on the upper seat. Seeing Xu Shu's eyes, a sincere smile appeared, "This palace specially asked people to send you a post, I'm afraid you won't come!" ”

"There is a memory of Lao Niangniang!" Xu Shu wanted to sit on the last chair of the next head, but the queen pointed to the nearest position next to her and said, "You sit here, this palace has a lot to say to you!" Come on, don't hurry up and help Miss Nine to take a seat! ”

The palace maid hurriedly stepped forward to help Xu Shu sit in the position designated by the queen, and the hot tea was immediately delivered.

Withdrawing from the palace maid, the queen leaned towards Xu Shu's side, stroked her lower abdomen, and looked relaxed, "It's all your credit that this palace can conceive a dragon heir!" ”

Xu Shu pushed it away, "It's also a good health!" ”

The queen smiled, "This palace has said that when this palace is pregnant, it will be rewarded to you, so tell me what you want?" ”

Xu Shu shook her head, "The courtiers don't want anything!" ”

The queen thought for a while and prompted, "Even if you don't have anything you want, your family will be satisfied if your clan has something to ask for!" Financial resources, official positions, you can do it! Recently, the emperor has been obedient to the palace, but there is no disobedience to the palace! ”

Xu Shu still shook her head, "No, what they ask for has nothing to do with me anymore!" ”

The queen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that after going to ask Xu Shu's chamberlain to return to the palace, she said that Xu Shu now lives in another courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing, and is not in the capital anymore, and the queen immediately understood that there was something wrong with the appointment between Xu Shu and the Xu family, and she didn't mention it again, but said, "Then the palace will remember you first, no matter when you remember what you want, you can come to the palace!" ”

"Xie Niangniang!" Because of Zhou Jin, Xu Shu felt ashamed of the queen, and remembered the teachings of Master Miaofan, Xu Shu did not dare to have too much intersection with the queen, for fear of harming others.

With a slight turn in her eyes, the queen suddenly remembered something, "This palace banquet only invited the clan relatives and nobles, the palace was originally going to tell the queen mother to invite you to come, but the queen mother invited you one step earlier, and when I went back to the palace, I found out that the fourth son of the Qi family will also come today!" ”

Xu Shu raised her head suddenly, and sure enough, it was exactly the same as she guessed, did the Empress Dowager really plan to put the marriage of the year on the bright side?

"I don't know what you think, but from the perspective of this palace, the queen mother's approach is a bit radical, and it will do you more harm than good!"

"What the Empress Dowager said about the Empress Dowager refers to ......"

The queen lowered her voice, "The Empress Dowager cleaned up the Shifting Flower Pavilion in the north, and moved a lot of new flowers and trees into it, the palace inadvertently asked, but the Empress Dowager smiled with a deep meaning, the Tao is ready to show you, the Shifting Flower Pavilion is behind the Mingtai, and you can see all the places in the Shifting Flower Pavilion on the Mingtai, so if someone leads you to the Shifting Flower Pavilion later, don't go!" ”

Xu Shu's heart was shocked, although what the queen said was vague, but she still understood the queen mother's plan, today's palace banquet was set in Mingtai, the queen mother planned to let everyone who went to the banquet today see that she and Qi Rui were together, and then she took the opportunity to mention the marriage of the first emperor, and by the way, she made another decree, pushing this future that people only dare to discuss in private to the front of people.

"Xie Niangniang reminds!" Although Xu Shu had already realized that entering the palace today would not be safe, she was still grateful for the queen's reminder, and with the queen's reminder, she could also avoid the trap early.

"It's just a gesture!" The queen touched her stomach and suddenly asked, "Do you say that this palace can get a man in one fell swoop?" ”

Xu Shu's eyebrows trembled, her smiling face gradually calmed down, her hands folded on her knees, and she said after a long time, "Niangniang will definitely get what she wants!" ”

The queen was in a very good mood, and she was not angry because of Xu Shu's deliberate avoidance, she said, "You're right!" This palace also believes that this palace will definitely be able to give birth to a prince! Even if this child is not, the next child must be! ”

Xu Shu didn't agree, just lowered her head, at this moment she said anything was out of place, fortunately, the queen didn't mind her silence, her expression was still happy, "Yesterday, Concubine Shu came to greet me for the first time, this palace has not seen a concubine as humble as yesterday for many years!" She didn't even dare to sit down when the palace gave her a seat, giggling ......"Thinking of the careful appearance of the concubine yesterday, the queen couldn't help but think, "She is finally not unique in the palace, except for the position of the middle palace, no one is unique in this harem!" ”

Concubine Shu's apprehension is not only because the queen is pregnant, which means that the eldest prince is no longer the only heir of the emperor, and her irreplaceable position in the harem no longer exists, but also because she was able to give birth to the eldest prince because she used unsavory means, and now that the queen is pregnant, she suspects that the queen also knows the real reason why she can give birth to the eldest prince, and will settle accounts with her after the autumn, so she came to test the queen's attitude.

"As a queen, how can this palace be as knowledgeable as her concubine, that is too underestimate this palace, how can she ever put her little means in the eyes of this palace, in the end, she is from the countryside, and she will care about those small profits!" The queen snorted, her expression full of superiority.

"Niangniang, the Empress Dowager sent someone to invite Miss Xu Jiu!" A palace maid quietly came in and stood at the door to reply.

"It's coming!" The queen glanced at Xu Shu and advised, "Go ahead, remember what the palace said!" ”
