Chapter 973: In person

Qin Yining stood in place suspiciously, and asked the servant woman guarding the weeping flower gate in a soft voice: "Have you heard of anyone here?" ”

"Back to the princess, I haven't heard of it, the person sent by the prince only said that it was an extremely important nobleman."

Qin Yining bowed thoughtfully, "I know, thank you." ”

Flattered, the servant woman bowed respectfully and withdrew.

Jiyun said with some concern: "Listening to the tone, that noble person seems to be from the palace." The prince's attitude is so solemn, he is afraid that the other party's origin is not simple. ”

Qin Yining also felt this way, and returned to the room with Jiyun worriedly. changed into a royal blue waist-pinched collar jacket, and his hair was simply combed into a high bun and fixed with a white jade hairpin.

Looking at the mirror, remembering Xiao Xiao's solemn attitude, Qin Yining was afraid of being slack, so he took a white jade butterfly collar buckle and put it on, and the cloak also chose a cloud brocade dark flower cloud pattern. This is both solemn and will not be discordant with the identity of filial piety.

Qin Yining went out with Jiyun and rock candy as usual, and the four of Jingyi, Xiaoxue, Xiaoman, and Da Han followed Tang Xiu and the four Jinghu guards, and went all the way in the direction of the mansion in the rain.

On the way, Qin Yining made a lot of conjectures in her mind, the nobleman from the capital wanted her to go in person with a female dependent, either the other party brought his wife, or the other party was a woman at all.

She thought about many possibilities, but she didn't expect that when she arrived at the main hall of the yamen, she was really shocked when she saw someone.

"Courtiers see the queen, see Zhuang concubine." Qin Yining respectfully knelt on the ground and saluted.

The queen hurriedly got up, smiled and stretched out her hand to help: "The princess doesn't have to be polite. After not seeing her for many days, the princess seems to have lost a lot. ”

Qin Yining bowed her head respectfully in flattery, "Thank you for the queen's care, the queen's complexion is not very good, is it too tired on the way?" ”

"yes." The queen took Qin Yining's hand and walked to the main seat.

Xiao Xiao and Lu Heng stood below with their heads bowed, while Bian Ruohan stood on the other side next to Concubine Zhuang.

Qin Yining naturally didn't want to sit with the queen, so he stood beside her respectfully.

The queen said: "This period of heavy rain continues, we have been affected by disasters all over the country to varying degrees, and the construction of the imperial mausoleum has been delayed and has not started, the saint is very worried, and specially ordered the palace and the concubine to come here, chant the scriptures and pray for blessings, begging for the heavy rain to stop, so that the construction of the imperial mausoleum can start smoothly." The holy oracle, the rain does not stop, and the palace and the concubine will always stay here. ”

Qin Yining's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, but she said with emotion and emotion on her face: "Niangniang's heart is about the saint, and she has to work hard for the construction of the saint's mausoleum regardless of the fatigue of the phoenix's body. ”

The queen was very ironed in her heart, took Qin Yining's hand and patted it: "Each other." Are you still different? We women, aren't we all the whole family in this life? ”

"Yes, the Holy Lord rules all the people, and the whole world is a holy family, what the queen is worried about, how can it be as easy as a small family that the courtiers are worried about?"

The queen sighed faintly and nodded silently.

Bian Ruohan lowered his head, and his mouth full of silver teeth was almost crushed.

What a slut! is so clever and tongue-in-cheek, when he sees the queen, he is like a pug, and he is not ashamed!

Seeing that Bian Ruohan seemed to be wrong, the concubine Zhuang next to her looked at the queen in the top position with a smile, but the hand hidden behind her back gently pinched Bian Ruohan.

Bian Ruohan woke up and hurriedly lowered his head.

Xiao Xiao smiled, and his heart was full of pride. It's just that out of the corner of his eye, Lu Heng, who is wearing a sword, also looks like he is honored, looking at Qin Yining's back generously, and his good mood is gone.

This person now holds his own identity, and he doesn't take him seriously anymore, and he will clearly reveal Qin Yining's thoughts, and he doesn't know how to avoid suspicion at all.

It's just hateful!

Qin Yining and the queen have established some friendship in the palace, but because of the identity of the men, they stand on different positions, and both of them know in their hearts that once the men tear their faces, they will no longer be friends, because the two of them are very restrained in friendship.

Although they were restrained, it did not prevent them from having a good conversation.

Concubine Zhuang and Bian Ruohan were completely unable to interject on the side.

Qin Yining said with a smile: "The queen mother is coming, why don't you please move to the palace to live?" The courtiers will order someone to vacate the upper court for you, okay? ”

The queen looked at Lu Heng and Bian Ruohan with a smile, shook her head slightly and said, "The princess's kindness is appreciated by the palace." It's just that Zhongyibo has already prepared another garden. ”

Lu Heng said in a timely manner: "Yes, Prince Zhongshun and Princess Zhongshun are concerned about her mother. Please rest assured that the princess is in order, the garden has been prepared, and the people in it have chosen the most trustworthy, and the safety of the queen and the concubine Zhuang are guaranteed. ”

Lu Heng looked at Qin Yining gently as he spoke, as if there were stars twinkling in his eyes.

Qin Yining lowered his long eyelashes as opposed to him, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhongyi is acting safely, even so, I have no objections." ”

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "So is the minister." I want to come to this place and have a lot to say to meet Mrs. Zhongyi and sisters. ”

When the queen heard this, her gentle eyes looked in the direction of Bian Ruohan.

Bian Ruohan was suddenly named, raised his head suddenly, and the swollen half of his face fell into everyone's eyes.

The queen frowned slightly, "Mrs. Zhongyibo, your face?" ”

Lu Heng smiled decently, but his teeth were clenched, and he secretly scolded the colegate in his heart. Originally, the queen didn't notice Bian Ruohan's abnormality, and it was just a matter of fooling the past, but he deliberately mentioned it, he must have wanted him to make a fool of himself in front of the queen!

With Bian Ruohan's arrogant temperament, Lu Heng had no hope for her.

Bian Ruohan's eyes quickly filled with tears, and she stepped forward and was about to speak, but Concubine Zhuang stood up first, curtsied, and said with a smile: "Back to the queen's mother, the concubine has already asked, Mrs. Zhongyi Bo was careless when she got up at night." The doctor has prescribed the best ointment, and it will be cured in two days. ”

"Oh?" The queen looked at Bian Ruohan's cheeks, which were obviously red and swollen marks left by someone who slapped her.

In Huichuan County, if you dare to fight Bian Ruohan and can hit Bian Ruohan, there should be only Zhongyibo alone.

But think about it carefully, the little couple had a conflict, and there were some who were excited for a while, although she was the queen, she was also an outsider, and it was not good to keep holding on to other people's housework.

The queen said: "Since it was hit, you have to pay careful attention in the future, Grandma Sun." ”

"The slave is here." The grandmother beside the queen smiled and walked closer.

"I remember that we brought ointment when we came, it is the best to reduce swelling and relieve pain, you go and get it and give it to Mrs. Zhongyibo."

"Yes." Grandma Sun walked out quickly.

Bian Ruohan was very aggrieved in her heart, and as soon as she took a step forward, Concubine Zhuang grabbed her hand.

Although Concubine Zhuang smiled gently, the strength in her hand seemed to crush Bian Ruohan's bones.

"Sister hasn't thanked the queen for her grace?"

Bian Ruohan almost screamed when she was pinched, but the pain made her wake up quickly, she was self-aware, her cousin was a person who had lived in the palace for many years, and she should know the temperament of the queen mother best, and her cousin would not harm her at this time.

"Courtiers, thank you, Queen." Bian Ruohan saluted respectfully.

The queen smiled gently: "No courtesy." ”

Although the attitude is gentle, the queen's words are obviously much less when treating Bian Ruohan, and her attitude is not as enthusiastic as when she treats Qin Yining.

Bian Ruohan bit her lower lip, lowered her head and didn't dare to let people see her expression, but her heart became more and more uneven.

Why does everyone prefer Qin Yining? Lu Heng is like this, and now the queen who is high up is also like this!

She had already asked Bian Tong sternly, and Bian Tong swore to heaven that he had not lied to her. So Qin Yining really entered that house that day, and there must be the adulterer in that house.

She obviously caught the evidence of Qin Yining's adultery, but no one believed her. Everyone is protecting her!

Bian Ruohan was full of anger and didn't dare to attack, so he could only endure it.

Not long after, the banquet has been placed, a group of people moved to the flower hall, although the rain continued for several days, all kinds of vegetables, fruits, poultry and meat are rare, but the queen came, there should be no dispensing, the cooks really tried their best, and there was no abnormality at the banquet.

Qin Yining and Bian Ruohan accompanied the queen on the left and right, Zhuang Concubine was next to Bian Ruohan, Lu Heng and Xiao Xiao were foreign men, and they should have been avoided, because there were only a few people, Xiao Xiao was a sworn brother of the saint, and Lu Heng was a junior who was very valued by the Queen Mother, so the queen spoke, and everyone ate at the same table.

After finishing the meal, Qin Yining chatted with the queen for a while, and then got up in time to leave, "The queen has worked hard all the way, it is better to rest early, and the courtiers will come to you early tomorrow morning to say goodbye." ”

The queen smiled: "The princess is still so polite and considerate. Now that I am not in the palace, and the weather is not good, I will not be able to ask for peace, and the palace will summon the princess to talk when it is free. ”

"Yes, the courtiers are always waiting."

Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining saluted the queen together.

The queen waved her hand with a smile on her face, signaling the two to be exempt.

When Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining left, Lu Heng also smiled and said, "The queen mother, the minister also retired." ”

The queen smiled and nodded, glanced at Concubine Zhuang and Bian Ruohan who were standing on the side, and said thoughtfully: "It is rare for Mrs. Zhongyi to meet Concubine Zhuang, I think I must have something to say, what about Zhongyi Bo?" ”

Lu Heng smiled: "That's naturally good." ”

"Then Uncle Zhongyi will go and get busy, and go back to the palace and order someone to send Mrs. Zhongyi back."

"The queen is benevolent, thank you for the queen's caressing of Jing."

"Wherever you are, it's your own family. Loyal and righteous uncle, just rest assured. ”

Lu Heng and the queen saluted again and retreated respectfully.

The queen smiled and said to Concubine Zhuang: "You go, the palace is also lacking." ”

"Yes, concubine, thank you to the queen."

Concubine Zhuang took Bian Ruohan and saluted, and then took Bian Ruohan to the wing room where she lived.

At this time, Mama Sun stepped forward with a smile, and took a few accompanying palace people to serve the queen to change her clothes, "Niangniang, how can the slave and maid look at Mrs. Zhongyibo's situation is not quite right." ”

"yes. Hongu also felt it. So I specially set aside time for her to have a good chat with Concubine Zhuang. Concubine Zhuang is a smart person, she should be able to explain her. ”

"The Queen is merciful." Mama Sun praised with a smile and took a comb to pull the queen's hair.

The queen looked at her ordinary face in the mirror with wrinkles and some sagging skin, and sighed silently.

"Bengu sometimes really envy them for their age."

"The queen is in her prime, and she is the most charming age for women, how can she sigh like this?" Mama Sun was punished skillfully, her movements were gentle, and she neatly combed the queen's hair in a homely bun, and then said with a smile, "Mrs. Zhongyibo came to Huichuan, and it seems that she is much more stable than before." ”

"yes." The queen helped her sideburns and sighed: "Since ancient times, marriage events have mostly been the words of the matchmaker of the parents, and it will take a long time for Zhongyibo and Bian to come together, right?" ”

Thinking of the redness and swelling on Bian's face, Grandma Sun also nodded.

At this time, Bian Ruohan was holding Concubine Zhuang's hand and crying: "...... My cousin didn't know that we had already arrived at the house at that time, and my uncle's people had also gone in to search it. But it was clear that the adulterer of the Qin clan was there, but the uncle's people didn't find it! I just persuaded a few words, and my uncle was ashamed, and he raised his hand and slapped me, sister, look at my teeth. ”
