In the silence of the night, the sound of the door slamming was very loud, and it soon woke up the people in the courtyard.

"Who? In the middle of the night! The little eunuch who was originally squeaky opened, and the little eunuch who was originally humming almost screamed when he saw Luo Qingqian, who was drenched!

After seeing the appearance clearly, the little eunuch immediately widened his eyes and said, "Second Miss Luo!?" ”

Luo Qingqian's blue clothes were completely soaked, her black hair was still dripping with water, her pair of dark eyes looked at the little eunuch pitifully, and raised the same wet white cat in her arms towards him, and said with Luo Qingqian's previous unique ignorance: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother's cat." ”

"Oops, how can this be! What's going on? Miss Luo don't move first, and the miscellaneous family will go to the manager. The little eunuch didn't think much about it, turned around and ran into the courtyard.

He could recognize the white cat, which was the Queen Mother's favorite pet. Not daring to delay for half a minute, the little eunuch immediately reported the matter to his superiors.

The tall and thin eunuch who traveled with the Queen Mother this time was worthy of experience, and he hurried over as soon as he heard the little eunuch's report. After taking a look, while instructing the little eunuch to prepare clean clothes for Luo Qingqian, he took out the futon from the gatehouse hut and draped it on Luo Qingqian's body, and said: "Second Miss Luo is wronged first, beware of catching a cold, and the miscellaneous family will go to report to the Queen Mother." Then he turned and ran inside.

After putting on the quilt, Luo Qingqian finally stopped being so cold that her upper and lower teeth were fighting. She stood quietly waiting, her mind thinking quickly about what to do for a moment.

After all, this courtyard is different from the dormitory in the palace, and the knock on the door has awakened the queen mother, who has always slept lightly in the house. Empress Dowager Zuo sat up, frowned and said coldly, "What happened?" ”

Soon Yingluo came to the queen mother's bed, and said a little nervously: "Xue'er somehow got out of the courtyard and fell into the pond, and was rescued by Miss Luo Er." Now Miss Luo Er came to deliver the cat to the Queen Mother soaking wet and was waiting in the yard. ”

"What?" Empress Dowager Zuo raised her eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Change the clothes of the mourning family!" ”

Luo Qingqian was quickly taken into the inner room, and when she saw the Empress Dowager Zuo sitting majestically above, she lowered her head slightly, temporarily avoided the Queen Mother's gaze, handed the white cat in her hand forward, and said softly: "Queen Mother, save the kitten!" ”

Empress Dowager Zuo looked at the soaked white cat and waved her hand. A palace maid next to her hurriedly took a clean cloth towel and hugged the white cat from Luo Qingqian's hand and took it to the side of the room to wipe it.

And the little palace maid who took care of the white cat before had already knelt on the ground, her face was pale and kowtowed: "The slave and maid are negligent for a while, the queen mother atonements, the queen mother atonements!" ”

The Queen Mother looked at Luo Qingqian, who was standing below, and at this moment she was drenched all over her body, her face was snow-white and trembling. The Queen Mother called out loud: "Yingluo, first take the shallow girl down to change her clothes, beware of catching a cold like this." ”

"Yes" Yingluo bowed in response, and then stepped forward and pulled Luo Qingqian to the side room to change clothes.

When Luo Qingqian cleaned up and came out again, the little palace maid who was kneeling on the ground was gone, and there were a few more people in the room at the moment.

One of them was Concubine Lin Shu, who was seen for the first time in the palace. Although he came in a hurry, his plain white face was not covered with rouge, but he was neatly dressed, and he still looked beautiful. The woman beside her was even more anxious, her clothes were just hurriedly put on a coat, her hair had been scattered, only the golden hairpin had been pulled up in a simple bun, and her face was not powdered, but her fair skin was so tender that she could pinch out the water, this person was Concubine Chen Xian.

The two concubines sat on either side of the Queen Mother, and the eldest lady of the Luo family and a group of female dependents stood at the bottom of the hand.

Seeing Luo Qing come out, a trace of disgust appeared on the face of the eldest lady of the Luo family, and she said sternly: "Second girl, it's not good to rest in your room at night, why don't you walk around casually." Now disturb the Queen Mother's rest, you are guilty! ”

Before Luo Qingqian could answer, Luo Yishui on the side rushed to say: "Second sister, when you go back, you will say that the little white cat here is so good that the Queen Mother is here, is it possible that you want to come and steal it back to play at night?" ”

Luo Qingqian glanced at Luo Yishui, who was speaking, and knew that she was also the young lady of the Luo family, and it seemed that she had always been dissatisfied with Luo Qingqian, and she was in trouble everywhere. But I don't know if she is a concubine or a concubine, and Luo Qingqian, who was worried about saying that she was wrongly exposed, did not say anything.

When the eldest lady heard this, her eyebrows immediately straightened, and she said sharply: "Qingqian, you actually have such a mind?" In vain, the Queen Mother loves you so much, why don't you quickly kneel down and ask the Queen Mother for her guilt! ”

The people of the Luo family actually didn't know what was going on, knowing that Luo Qingqian had alarmed the Queen Mother that night, and the eldest lady didn't have time to ask in detail, so she was busy asking for guilt.

If it had been Luo Qingqian before, I am afraid that she would have been frightened by the eldest lady's fierce questioning. But now Luo Qingqian's eyelashes are lowered, her eyes are flashing, thinking of the queen mother's attitude towards her before, she knelt on the ground and said a little choked: "No, it's not like this!" After that, he raised his head, with tears in his eyes, and looked at the Queen Mother glutinously and said: "Queen Mother, Qingqian didn't want to steal Xue'er, Qingqian wanted to save Xue'er!" ”

The cute version of the White Lotus, who wouldn't! Luo Qingqian praised herself in her heart.

Luo Qingchu, who was standing silently on the side, suddenly spoke: "Mother, maybe the second sister just can't sleep at night and walks around, don't blame her." ”

Luo Yishui pouted and said, "Big sister, this is a temple, not a nunnery." In the middle of the night, she can walk around everywhere, wouldn't her casualness ruin the reputation of our Luofu daughter's family. ”

Luo Qingchu's face sank when she heard this, and she reprimanded her sister and said: "The third sister should not talk nonsense, the second sister is still the daughter of the boudoir, and she is simple-minded, and she knows everything else." Don't let the Queen Mother misunderstand the second sister. ”

The two sisters sang together, and their words implied that Luo Qingqian was a stupid woman who didn't understand secular etiquette.

But they can't figure out the queen mother's heart by all calculations, and Luo Qingqian has long known the queen mother's attitude towards everyone in the Luo family with the help of the white cat's body. No matter how they behave, I'm afraid the Queen Mother won't take it to heart. So Luo Qingqian didn't care about the conversation between the two of them, and still looked trembling.

The Queen Mother looked coldly at the eldest lady reproaching Luo Qingqian, and listened to a few words of conversation between the two sisters, but she still said with a kind face: "Qingqian, don't kneel, get up and talk." ”

One sentence made the Luo family sisters think in vain, and Luo Yishui glared at Luo Qingqian angrily.

Knowing that she is still a child who is only four or five years old in the heart of the Queen Mother, and will not lie and deceive people, Luo Qingqian decided to take advantage of this opportunity this time, she stood up and looked at the Queen Mother, and said timidly: "Queen Mother, Qingqian is really going to save Xue'er." ”

The Queen Mother looked at her as bright as before and said, "Tell the Queen Mother why you went out late at night." ”

"Well, that's weird." Luo Qingqian licked her lips and said in an innocent tone: "You don't need to kowtow tonight to pray for blessings, Qingqian went to bed very early." But Qingqian had a strange dream, in which an old monk said to Qingqian that the Queen Mother was blessed and could come here to the creation of Jingguo Temple. He didn't want to see the Queen Mother sad because of the loss of her beloved pet, so he had to get up quickly and go to a pond to save it. ”

"Dreaming?" Luo Yishui on the side snorted and said, "The second sister is talking in a dream." There are people there who don't sleep when they dream! ”

Hearing this, Luo Qingqian turned his head to look at Luo Yishui, and said seriously: "That's the Queen Mother's cat, even if it's fake, Qingqian has to go and see it!" This seemingly nonsensical answer hit the heart of the Queen Mother.

It's really because the Queen Mother looked at Luo Qingqian or Luo Qingqian before, and she never thought that she would think about answering.

Roy was choked by this sentence and was speechless. When the eldest lady heard this, she looked at the Queen Mother on the side and said, "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, Qingqian's brain is not good, but her heart is good." She probably didn't really have the intention to steal the cat......"

Luo Qingqian frowned and interrupted her words, and said with a serious face: "Big lady, Qingqian has said that Qingqian didn't steal the cat." After Qingqian woke up, she was very worried about Xue'er thinking about the words in her dream, so she secretly went out. It's a pity that Qingqian forgot how to walk the road, so she could only run around. Thinking that it was also blessed by the Buddha, he actually let Qing Qian find the pond and then ...... Then ......" Speaking of this, Luo Qingqian suddenly stopped talking, and the whole person's face turned a little pale.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother frowned and said, "Then what's wrong?" ”
