Chapter 170: Hidden in the Painting
Lan Ruoxuan's eyes were staring at the front tightly, and the air pressure around her was terrifying.
"Niangniang-" Shuangying said tentatively, "Let's go back." The emperor and the Qing nobles are there, and it is inconvenient for us to go for a walk. β
The anger gathered in Lan Ruoxuan's eyes dissipated little by little, and slowly turned into a piercing coldness: "Shuangying, let's go to Ningci Palace." β
Shuangying was stunned, since Ling'er entered the palace, the Queen Mother's love for her own mother is not as good as before, and in the recent period, she has not summoned her own mother, how could the mother suddenly remember to go to Ningci Palace?
Without waiting for Shuangying to react, Lan Ruoxuan had already stepped forward and headed in the direction of Ningci Palace.
In the Ningci Palace, the Queen Mother slowly tasted the new tribute tea in the south of the Yangtze River, and was looking at the desert mountains and rivers sent by the Qing nobles with satisfaction.
The more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became, and she planned to raise her hand to command Mama Meng and the others around her, and carefully carry the painting to her bedroom. But suddenly I heard a report from the eunuch outside: "Concubine Lan Guifei has arrived-"
As soon as the words fell, Lan Ruoxuan was wearing a long dress with juan gauze and gold silk embroidery, wearing a green step on her head, and walked towards her with a smile.
"Lan girl, why do you have time to come and see this old bone of the mourning family today?"
Lan Ruoxuan snorted coldly in her heart, it's not that this old witch of yours likes the new and hates the old in her heart, and she only thinks about the cheap girl named Ling'er, but she still salutes respectfully, and says: "The queen mother atoned for her sins, it was the son's negligence that came to ask for peace today." Raising her body, Lan Ruoxuan looked a little surprised as if she had just seen a map of the desert mountains and rivers drawn by a Qing nobleman on the side.
The Queen Mother smiled proudly and said: "Lan Yatou thinks this painting is not good, the mourning family thinks it is really excellent, this Qing noble is worthy of being the daughter of the Song University student, and the artistic conception and craftsmanship of the painting are excellent." β
Lan Ruoxuan nodded, stepped forward and looked at the yellow paint on it, a smile flashed in her eyes. I smiled secretly in my heart, and a hint of pride flashed. Originally, I wanted to come to Song Ningyin and find some discomfort, but it seems that there is no need for this now. Lan Ruoxuan raised her eyebrows, in a good mood. I sat in Ningci Palace for a long time.
Walking out of Ningci Palace, Lan Ruoxuan's mood seemed to be better, the corners of her eyes were raised, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth that could not be concealed.
"Niangniang, what are you laughing at?" My own mother wanted to go for a walk in the imperial garden, but she met the emperor and the nobles, and her face sank suddenly, but when she came to Ningci Palace, nothing happened, why did she suddenly feel better so much, Shuangying was a little puzzled.
Lan Ruoxuan smiled even brighter, looked Shuangying up and down, and said loudly: "Shuangying, this palace vaguely remembers that you have practiced martial arts since childhood, do you have any knowledge of pharmacology?" β
Shuangying was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head, Qimen Dunjia, Five Elements Gossip, People's Heart Trickery, or Martial Arts, I have all been involved, but I have never been in contact with medicine.
Lan Ruoxuan nodded: "You can watch it, noble man, it will be over soon." β
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed, and it has rained a few times in between, and everything else is calm. The new Qing nobles and the original Yang nobles are now favored, while Kou Shu sits firmly in Diaoyutai, except for reading and writing every day, listening to some routine palace affairs in the palace, and not asking anything. The days go by very leisurely.
"Niangniang-" Ripple held the tray, followed by a girl who passed the meal: "It's time to eat." β
Kou Shu nodded, and the mandarin duck stepped forward and brought the dishes to the table one by one. While holding the mandarin duck, it seemed that he suddenly remembered something, and turned his head to Kou Shu and stopped.
"What happened? Just say yes. Kou Shu's eyes were surprisingly sharp.
The mandarin duck paused, shook his head and said, "The slave maid should wait for the queen to finish her meal." β
Kou Shu smiled: "What is it, could it be that I can't eat yet?" β
Ripple was straightforward and fast-spoken, and took the lead in speaking: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that in the queen mother's bedroom, it is said that there is a smell of urine, which is very disgusting." β
"Smell of urine?" Kou Shu frowned.
The mandarin duck glared at the ripples, nodded and said, "It's true." I found it a few days ago, and it is even more obvious these days, it is said that the Queen Mother has planned to move to the side hall to rest. β
"It's so decent, how can it smell like urine?" Kou Shu was puzzled, you must know that all the ornaments in the palace should be wiped at least three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, and Ningci Palace is even more elegant, and it is necessary to wipe it more than five times, it is really unbelievable that there will be such a taste: "What new things are put into the queen mother's bedroom?" β
Mandarin duck nodded: "The smell of urine is exactly what came from the map of the desert mountains and rivers sent by the Qing nobles a few days ago." β
Kou Shu was stunned, and before she could speak, she only heard outside the door, and remembered Su Peiyuan's shrill voice: "Queen Mother-"
Sending Su Peiyuan away, Kou Shu already had a three-point judgment on things in her heart, and after hurriedly finishing lunch, Kou Shu took Ripple and Mandarin Duck to Ningci Palace.
In the Ningci Palace, everyone had not yet arrived, but the girl and grandmother were standing in a room, and the battle was very big.
Kou Shu smelled a faint smell of urine for the first time, and when she approached the map of the desert mountains and rivers slightly, the smell became even heavier. Kou Shu pretended not to know anything, and curtsied: "Queen Mother-"
"Hmm." The Queen Mother raised her head slightly: "The Queen sits." β
As soon as Kou Shu sat down, Song Jinyan arrived.
Seeing Song Jinyan, Kou Shu was a little surprised-she didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so concerned about this matter that she actually called Song Jinyan.
"The Queen Motherβ"
When the Queen Mother heard this, she snorted coldly: "Smell the smell of this room, the Ningci Palace of the mourning family is about to become a thatched house, look at what good things your concubine has done." β
Song Jinyan frowned, and approached the map of the desert mountains and rivers, but he smelled a pungent smell of urine, which was particularly unpleasant and pungent, and his stomach was even more overturned.
"This isβ" Song Jinyan was puzzled.
The queen mother waved her hand slightly, and the painter in the palace stepped forward, saluted Song Jinyan respectfully, and then said: "Your Majesty, the grass people are the painters in the palace Ji Shuang, and today at the order of the queen mother, I came to see what this painting is." β
Song Jinyan lowered his hand, nodded and said, "You say, what is going on?" β
Ji Shuang stepped forward and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the reason why there is this smell in this room is because the yellow pigment of this map of mountains and rivers in the desert is mixed with urine. β
"Pee?" Song Jinyan raised his eyebrows, and there was a little more gloomy in his eyes: "Mr. Ji made it clear, what does it mean?" β
