"Miss Zheng Jiu stays!"

As soon as he entered the imperial garden, a shrill voice sounded in his ears, and an attendant wearing a dark blue round-necked robe was waiting not far away.

"Father-in-law Lu!" Xu Shu bowed her head to comply.

"Father-in-law Lu!" Ruoshu and the others were also busy bowing.

Father-in-law Lu looked at Xu Shu and the palace maid behind her with a smile, "Miss Jiu, is this going to Dingtai Palace?" ”

"Yes!" Xu Shu bowed, "The queen has a reward for Concubine Zhen, and ordered me and Ruoshu to send the reward over!" ”

"That's a coincidence!" Father-in-law Lu smiled, "The Empress Dowager also has a reward for Concubine Zhen, so Miss Lao Jiu will send it over together!" ”

Xu Shu glanced at Father-in-law Lu's body, there was nothing, it could be seen that this was just a disguise, and Father-in-law Lu's words had another purpose......

But Father-in-law Lu represents the Empress Dowager, who can refuse him? Even if he knows he has another purpose.

"Father-in-law Lu is polite, it is my blessing to be able to share the worries of the Empress Dowager! But why don't you see the reward? ”

Father-in-law Lu looked at Xu Shu with satisfaction, "Miss Nine, don't worry, go to Cining Palace with the slave to get it!" ”

Father-in-law Lu turned sideways to invite, Xu Shu had to turn around and go to Cining Palace, but before that, he instructed Ruoshudao, "You lead them to Dingtai Hall first, I will take the reward of the Empress Dowager and then go over!" ”

Father-in-law Lu didn't stop him, watched Ruoshu leave, and then his eyes fell on Luhe, "This maid looks a little angry!" ”

Xu Shu said lightly, "Her name is Luhe, this is the first time she has entered the palace, if there is any rudeness, please ask her father-in-law Haihan!" ”

"Miss Nine is polite! Let's go! Don't let the Empress Dowager wait! ”

The road to Cining Palace is quite lively, from time to time there are palace maids and eunuchs who pass by together, and when they see the father-in-law of the road, they all stand on the side of the road to make way.

Today is the day when King Pingning returns to the dynasty, although the emperor is unwell and cannot have a banquet, but there are masters in the palace, princes and nobles of the royal family, and the family will be present.

The Zheng family should be Mr. and Mrs. Zheng today, and the old lady has been waiting for leisure to no longer join in such a lively situation, and Mr. Zheng is the elder, so it is most appropriate for him to appear at this time......

"Just now, when Mrs. Zheng came to greet the Empress Dowager, she also mentioned Miss Zheng Jiu, you!" Father-in-law Lu said suddenly.

Sure enough, it was Mr. and Mrs. Zheng who came!

"Auntie mentioned me?" Xu Shu seemed to be surprised, and there was a slight hint of uneasiness, "What did the eldest aunt mention to the Empress Dowager?" ”

Father-in-law Lu said with a smile, "Mrs. Zheng praised Miss Zheng Jiu for being smart and steady, generous and decent, and the Zheng family praised it up and down!" ”

"The eldest aunt praised it falsely, and let Father-in-law Lu laugh!"

Xu Shu sighed in her heart, would Mrs. Zheng praise her like this? It's either that Father-in-law Lu is talking nonsense, or Mrs. Zheng has other intentions!

"Yo, it's here, the minions will go in first to report, Miss Zheng Jiu and later!"

"There's Lao Lu's father-in-law!"

Father-in-law Lu bowed his back into the main hall.

Xu Shu saw that the people on duty didn't look at them, so she whispered to Lu He, "When I go in later, you can stay here and wait, pay attention, this is the palace, don't let someone take the wrong place!" ”

"Yes!"

Lu He straightened her back, feeling a little nervous because of Xu Shu's instructions, and didn't notice for a moment that Xu Shu's words actually meant that the Empress Dowager would summon her alone.

Sure enough, after a while, Father-in-law Lu came out, "Miss Zheng Jiu, the Empress Dowager invites you in!" ”

Xu Shu raised his feet forward, and Lu Gonggong was about to stop Lu He, but found that Lu He did not follow Xu Shu, and Lu Gonggong couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Courtiers see the Empress Dowager, Chitose Chitose Chitose!" Xu Shu bowed her knees and bowed, just like a few years ago, the furnishings in the house were exactly the same as when she came, and even the incense she burned was made by her in the past, but it was precisely because of this that it was different......

The Empress Dowager didn't speak, but raised her hand slightly, Xu Shu thought about the Empress Dowager's meaning, and still stood up, "Thank you Empress Dowager Niang!" ”

The corners of the Empress Dowager's mouth curved slightly, "I heard that this time King Pingning returned to the dynasty, you helped the queen share a lot!" ”

"The courtiers are just doing their best!" At the mention of Zhou Jin, Xu Shu's heart immediately rose to his throat, but his face was always light.

"Sit down! How tired it is to stand and talk, and it is also tiring to look up and raise your head! The Empress Dowager chuckled, as if she was as kind as ever.

"Empress Dowager Xie!" Xu Shu sat down, I don't know if it was intentional or not, the position of the chair was exactly the same as in my memory.

"How old are you?" The Empress Dowager asked.

"Hui Niangniang, the courtiers are seven out of ten this year!"

"Seventeen!" The Empress Dowager's smile deepened, "I don't know if anyone has told you that you look like a person!" ”

"Like whom?" Xu Shu tilted her head slightly, revealing just the right amount of curiosity.

"Didn't anyone tell you?" The Empress Dowager squinted her eyes and looked at Xu Shu.

Xu Shu shook her head, "Except for hearing that the courtiers look like their mothers, there is nothing else!" ”

"You shouldn't have seen that person, she's dead...... " The Empress Dowager sighed softly, but her eyes always fell on Xu Shu, "She died three years ago, she is as old as you......"

"That's really pitiful...... Xu Shu's face showed sadness and pity, "Dying young is really a thing that makes relatives grief......"

"Yes! Her father collapsed after her death, and was demoted three levels in a row, and now he is leading a six-grade idle and doing nothing, and her family has also fallen! ”

"I think that her relationship with her father was very close during her lifetime, otherwise her father would not have disregarded his own future and the prosperity of the family for her!"

"The mourning family also thinks so, I don't know how she should feel when she sees her father in the spirit of heaven haggard and sad for her!" The Empress Dowager kept looking at Xu Shu when she said this.

Xu Shu's expression was always decently regretful, "People die like lights going out, I think she can't see it!" ”

"I can'......t see it," the Empress Dowager chewed on this sentence, and seemed to have a different taste, "That child is a lovely child, the mourning family watched her grow up from such a little bit ......" The Empress Dowager stretched out her hand and compared, and finally put down her hand, "It's a pity ......"

"Niangniang's Day Mourning ......"

No matter how the Empress Dowager used her or the temptation of her at this moment, it was precisely because of the Empress Dowager's summons that her situation really improved, and the Empress Dowager was a noble person in the life of the blind Xu Shu.

"It's been three years, mourning the family...... It's time to put it down,......" The Empress Dowager looked at Xu Shu in a daze for a long time before finally saying, "Xiao Luzi, take the things that the mourning family rewarded to Concubine Zhen to Miss Zheng Jiu!" He waved his hand at Xu Shu again, "Go!" ”

"Yes! The courtiers are retired! ”
