"Who?" A loud shout came, Concubine Hui walked quickly to this side, Concubine Lin hesitated for a moment and followed.

Deng Yarong was so frightened that the flowers in her hand fell, Xu Shu took the opportunity to walk next to Deng Yarong and stand,

Concubine Hui turned around and found Deng Yarong and Xu Shu, remembering what Concubine Lin had just said, her attitude was much more restrained, "Are the two young ladies lost?" Do you want this palace to have someone send you out? ”

Deng Yarong saw that Concubine Hui was dressed gorgeously, and she expected that her position was not low, so she was blessed, "I've seen two mothers!" ”

Concubine Hui smiled and asked the two of them to get up, and then took Deng Yarong's hand, "Which girl is this, a sign of a good life!" ”

Deng Yarong blushed in shame, and Xu Shu said on the side, "This is the fifth lady of the Deng family!" ”

Deng family! The smile on Concubine Hui's face faded a little, "It turned out to be the niece and granddaughter of the Empress Dowager, and she really has everyone's demeanor!" He turned his face to look at Xu Shu again, "You must be the famous Miss Xu Jiu!" Last time the Empress Dowager was on her birthday, I only glanced at it from a distance, and I didn't see it really, but today I saw it really hurt! ”

Xu Shu didn't speak, Concubine Hui's eyes wandered between the two, as if she wanted to distinguish the voice that came out just now, whether anyone had heard her and Concubine Lin just now, but after thinking about it, she and Concubine Lin didn't say anything that she couldn't say, and it didn't hurt to listen, so she didn't want to offend Deng Yarong and Xu Shu, these two people were people who could speak in front of the Queen Mother, and it would be no good for them to offend them. After thinking about this, he smiled and said, "Don't disturb the two of you to visit the garden, I'll go to the front with Sister Lin Concubine!" ”

Concubine Hui led Concubine Lin away with Nana, and Deng Yarong snorted, "You eavesdrop on them!" ”

"Didn't you eavesdrop too?" Xu Shu asked with a smile.

Deng Yarong snorted again, left Xu Shu and left, just now she didn't expose the fact that Xu Shu eavesdropped in front of Concubine Hui because she was weak-hearted, she also heard Concubine Lin complaining about the queen's words, and suddenly saw Xu Shu in surprise, and involuntarily exclaimed, which provoked Concubine Hui to find out.

Xu Shu listened slightly for a moment, and sure enough, someone followed, and sure enough, someone followed Deng Yarong, and he didn't know what the purpose was, so he thought that he had the intention to stay away from Deng Yarong, so as not to cause trouble, but he felt that the Empress Dowager's attitude today was very strange, and he vaguely felt that there seemed to be something wrong here, and after thinking for a while, he decided to follow Deng Yarong.

After wandering around for a while, someone came to invite Xu Shu and Deng Yarong back to Cining Palace, and the people who came to invite saw all kinds of rare flowers in the hands of Deng Yarong and the maidservant suddenly turned white, "These flowers ......"

Deng Yarong faintly felt that something was wrong, so she urged to leave, "The Empress Dowager is still waiting!" Let's go back! Hurry up! ”

Entering Cining Palace, Deng Yarong suddenly ran to the front, knelt down to greet the Empress Dowager first, and said at the end, "Niangniang, this is the flower that Miss Xu Jiu ordered someone to pick for you, do you like it?" ”

Xu Shu shook her head in her heart, such a blatant accusation, is it a fool to be the queen mother?

The Empress Dowager looked at Deng Yarong and her maidservant holding hands full of flowers, and then looked at Xu Shu and Bang Feng who were empty-handed, and finally her eyes fell on a string of three-color begonias on Deng Yarong's sideburns.

Mrs. Deng also saw the flower branches that Deng Yarong's sideburns were still holding, and secretly hated Deng Yarong for being too clumsy, even if she framed someone, she had to pick herself out first, who would believe her words with this head full of flower branches, she secretly glanced at the Queen Mother, but she didn't expect to collide with the Queen Mother's gaze looking at her, her heart trembled, and she hurriedly lowered her head.

Deng Yarong waited for a long time and didn't see the Queen Mother respond, so she couldn't help but look up worriedly, and at this moment, Mrs. Deng suddenly smiled and said, "You kid, if you want to offer flowers to your mother directly, what's there to be ashamed of?" In the name of Miss Xu Jiu, I also called Miss Xu Jiu a joke! ”

Xu Shu shook her head slightly, "Madame is serious, Miss Deng Wu's pure heart is really rare, how can she be laughed at!" ”

The heart of a child, the pure and immaculate, the true and unpretentious!

Is Xu Shu saying that Deng Yarong is simple, or is she sarcastic for lying? Mrs. Deng couldn't guess, but seeing that her daughter was still ignorant, she couldn't help but shake her head, and looked at Deng Yarong gently brushing the broken hair on her sideburns with her fingers.

Seeing this, Deng Yarong reached out to touch his sideburns, and his face suddenly turned red, and he couldn't raise his head anymore.

The Empress Dowager said lightly, "You have a heart, get up!" Nine girls get up too! ”

Deng Yarong stood up in shame, shrunk her neck and stood beside Mrs. Deng without saying a word, a palace maid came over with a tray to take over the flowers in the hands of Deng Yarong and her maidservant, Deng Yarong thought about it and wanted to take off the three-color begonia on her sideburns, but Mrs. Deng shook her head at her, the Queen Mother already understood what was going on, and now it would be superfluous to take it off, it was better to wear it calmly, Deng Yarong had to put her hand down again.

The Empress Dowager swept the tray full of flowers in front of her, seemed to have made up some kind of determination, and her eyes became sharp, "Take it down, send it to the queen, let her share it with the concubine, I'm old and don't love this anymore, but I can't waste a piece of Yarong's heart!" ”

Mrs. Deng's face stiffened, and she could only bow down and say, "Yarong is borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, and the lady is making the best use of these flowers to add a few colors to the palace!" ”

The Empress Dowager nodded, looked at the three-color begonia on Deng Yarong's sideburns, and ordered, "Give that three-color begonia to the nine girls!" ”

"Thank you for the reward!" Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, still well-behaved and grateful, but her heart was full of helplessness, she became a victim in the power game again.

Deng Yarong opened her mouth in shock, she only got a small branch, but the Queen Mother gave Xu Shu a whole plant, which ...... What does this mean...... In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, isn't she, a related niece and granddaughter, as good as an outsider?

Mrs. Deng stabbed Deng Yarong with her elbow, Deng Yarong closed her mouth unwillingly, and secretly looked at Xu Shu, her eyes full of resentment.

The Empress Dowager suddenly beckoned to Xu Shu, "Nine girls, the smell of the incense you sent last time is a little different from the last time, you come to help see what went wrong when the palace maid burned incense!" ”

Mrs. Deng knew that the Empress Dowager had something to say to Xu Shu, so she hurriedly pulled Deng Yarong to leave, "The concubine has been in the palace for a long time, and she hasn't gone to ask the Empress Dowager to say goodbye, so the concubine will take Yarong with her!" ”

Even though the Deng family and the Fu family are not in harmony, the wife who enters the palace will be criticized if she does not ask the queen mother to say goodbye, even if she only kowtows outside the palace gate.

The Empress Dowager waved her hand, "Go!" Go ahead! ”

Mrs. Deng took Deng Yarong to kneel, and out of the corner of her eye, she watched the Empress Dowager take Xu Shu's hand and enter the inner room, and the people who served, including Xu Shu's maidservant, were left outside the door.
