When Sizhen returned to the main hall of Kunning Palace, the Qianqiu banquet was coming to an end, and the wives were saying goodbye to the queen in an endless stream.

However, Jianning kept pulling Sizhen to ask what happened, saying that he sent Luxiu to tell the queen's mother, and the queen sent someone to find Sizhen, why didn't they come back? ”

As he was talking, he saw Lu Xiu rushing over, and saw Sizhen and said happily: "It's good for you to come back, just now Yue'er went to look for you, Duanshun Concubine Niangniang said that you have left, Her Royal Highness the princess ......"

Jian Ning saw Ah Yunduo's eyes a few steps away, stopped Lu Xiu, and whispered to Si Zhen: "Xu I think too much, you are fine." ”

For the first time, Sizhen felt that Jianning was cold and warm-hearted, she smiled and said in a low voice: "There are some things, but fortunately, there is no danger, and I will talk to the princess in detail when it is convenient." ”

When he returned to his courtyard and settled down, Sizhen had time to string the front and back together and think about what was going on.

And this night, she tossed and turned for a long time and did not fall asleep, and only fell asleep at dawn.

Because thinking that everyone was tired of helping the queen to handle the Qianqiu banquet, the queen mother had already ordered that she would not have to go over the next day to greet her, and when Sizhen woke up, it was already a red day.

When she woke up, she didn't get up, and lay on the bed for a long time before she made up her mind.

After breakfast, she said to Mama Du: "Mama, I have something important to say to the Queen Mother, you are the old man of Cining Palace, please let someone go over and report it, if the Queen Mother is free, I will go over now." ”

Mama Du was stunned when she heard this, and stood there for a long time without moving, and then asked: "Gege has something important to tell the Queen Mother?" What happened at the Qianqiu banquet last year? ”

Sizhen didn't answer, lowered her head and continued to drink porridge, Mama Du looked at the thrush standing aside and waiting, and saw that her eyes were red, and she was also full of worries.

Yesterday Sizhen and Thrush came back, Mama Du felt that something was wrong, but no matter how she asked, the two masters and servants just didn't say anything.

She didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly ordered Bailing to wait for a few good students, and ran to Cining Palace herself.

When Mama Du arrived at Cining Palace, she happened to see Concubine Duanshun coming out.

Seeing her, Concubine Duanshun smiled and said, "Sizhen, that girl went back last year, okay?" How do you sleep? ”

Mama Du was a little puzzled, but she still replied respectfully: "Gege is fine, but I'm a little tired, I rested early yesterday, and I got up late today." ”

"Oh-" Concubine Duanshun thought thoughtfully, "She has a big heart, and this palace listens to the palace maids around her......"

Mama Du was listening intently to what was going on, but Concubine Duanshun cut off the conversation and refused to say any more.

She glanced at Mama Du and laughed: "It's all gossip, don't say it!" ”

Then got on the soft sedan chair and led her palace people away.

Mama Du stood there stunned for a while, but still entered Cining Palace, and explained her intention to the attendant at the entrance of the hall in a low voice.

The waiter said in a low voice: "Mama Du, if there is no important matter, you should go back and persuade Zhen Gege to come over another day, just now Duanshun Concubine Niangniang came over, I don't know what I said to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is so angry, I am afraid that no matter who comes here at this time, I will have to eat the head." ”

Mama Du thanked him, and then went back to the West Cross Courtyard of Hanzhang Palace, she didn't hide it, and told her about meeting Concubine Duanshun.

Thrush's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he rushed out: "Gege, I'm afraid that her wicked person will sue first......"

"Thrush—" Sizhen stopped her.

If it weren't for the impatience, she wouldn't talk about Concubine Duan Shun like this, and she felt more and more that something happened yesterday, so she hurriedly arranged for someone to pack up the soft sedan chair, and a few rough mothers-in-law carried Sizhen to Cining Palace.

Sizhen was as usual in the past, and even when she saw Mama Qin looking at her worriedly when she got into the sedan chair, she smiled and comforted: "Mama, don't worry, I didn't do anything wrong, and it will be fine." ”

Seeing the calm on Sizhen's face, Mama Du secretly thought: I didn't expect Zhen Gege to be young, and she talks and does things straightforwardly on weekdays, but she is really okay, but she can calm down, just this calmness is stronger than many girls.

Mama Du also had some ups and downs in her heart, after all, she is now the housekeeper in Sizhen's courtyard, no matter what happens to Sizhen, she can't get out of it, but seeing Sizhen's calm appearance, her worries have also been put aside a lot.

When Sizhen arrived in Cining Palace, the Queen Mother was leaning on the couch with half-squinted eyes to recuperate, and when she saw Sizhen come in to salute, she still smiled gently at Sizhen as usual, and arranged for Sizhen to take a brocade to sit down, and she couldn't see any clues.

Sizhen stood up after saluting, but he didn't sit on the brocade, but walked a few steps quickly, and knelt down in front of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother pulled her up and asked in surprise: "You kid, you have something to say, what's wrong?" ”

"The Queen Mother-" Sizhen only said four words, and then began to cry bitterly.

She didn't cry out loud, she just pressed hard, her little body cried and twitched, and her tears fell down like beads with broken threads, looking very pitiful.

The Queen Mother hugged her over, gently stroked her back and forth with one hand, and said softly: "Didn't the mourning family tell you?" You are the daughter of the mourning family, and in the future, like Jianning, you will be called the queen mother, no matter what happens, you can tell the queen mother, and if you have suffered any grievances, you will have a queen mother......"

Sizhen seemed to be moved by the Queen Mother's words, and cried more and more sadly in the arms of the Queen Mother, whining and crying like a puppy that had been beaten, and after a long time, he stopped sobbing and choking.

Seeing that she didn't cry, the Queen Mother didn't ask what the reason was, but Su Mala on the side ordered someone to bring warm water over and wait for Sizhen to wash her face and makeup again.

When Sizhen refreshed up and sat back next to the Queen Mother, she saw that the purple and red phoenix lotus woven gold satin dress that the Queen Mother was wearing just now had been changed and turned into the green "auspicious Pisces" woven gold satin.

Apparently because of the cry she just now, she stained the Queen Mother's clothes.

Sizhen was a little embarrassed, and said with a red face: "The Queen Mother, just now the courtiers lost their temper, and I asked the Queen Mother to punish her." ”

The Queen Mother looked at Sizhen with a loving smile and said, "Is it still called the Queen Mother?" They all threw themselves into their arms just now, whose queen mother allowed you to be so presumptuous? ”。

Sizhen's face turned even redder, and she hung her head and muttered for a long time, but in the end, she still raised her head, looked at the Queen Mother and shouted in a low voice: "Queen Mother, ......."

The Queen Mother responded with a smile, and then looked at Sizhen quietly.
