Gu's mother, who voted for Mrs. Xue's side, hurriedly stepped forward to help, who knew that Mrs. Xue was completely fainted, her body was extremely heavy, Gu's mother couldn't hold it for a while, if it wasn't for Rong Hua stepping forward to help, the master and servant would have fallen to the ground together, Rao is like this, everyone stepped forward and carried Mrs. Xue to the inner room, the old lady ordered someone to go to Lang Zhong quickly, the second lady stepped forward and pinched Mrs. Xue's middle of the people, but Mrs. Xue was not seen panting, and she was busy shouting to get life-saving pills.

Xiangyu took the medicine out, crushed the medicine and made the wine, Rong Hua pressed Mrs. Xue's jaw, and poured the medicine into the corner of Mrs. Xue's mouth, the second wife and Rong Hua shouted for a long time as "sister-in-law" and "mother", Mrs. Xue finally took a breath, and everyone was relieved.

The old lady came out of the inner room and said to one of the eunuchs Zhou, who was acquainted: "Mingrui's mother has not been in good health these days. ”

The implication is to ask Xue Mingrui's situation.

The eunuch Zhou just didn't hear the old lady's words, and only said with a concerned face: "Otherwise, let's go back and tell the queen mother, and ask the imperial hospital to come over and show the lady?" ”

Eunuch Zhou refused to reveal half of the inside story, and the old lady didn't ask anymore and just said, "How can you let the queen mother worry." ”

After the two chamberlains finished the errand assigned by the queen mother, they got up and were about to leave, and the old lady asked people to seal a big gift of more than a dozen dollars of silver.

Eunuch Zhou pushed it for a long time to accept it, and before leaving, he looked at the old lady and said meaningfully: "Don't be careless about the eldest princess, the queen mother thinks that the weather is not good, and she is afraid that the eldest princess will catch a cold on the road, so she only announced the young lady's ......,...."

The old lady seemed to understand the meaning of this, and a smile gradually appeared on her face, "I'm sorry for you to go back......

Eunuch Zhou didn't wait for the old lady to finish speaking, and said, "Our family envoy, the eldest princess greets the queen mother." ”

The old lady nodded and smiled.

Xue Chongyi personally sent the chamberlain away, and the old lady went into the house to see Mrs. Xue.

When Mrs. Xue saw the old lady, her eyes became a little vibrant, she propped up half of her body, and looked at the old lady expectantly, "Niang Mingrui...... Finally...... How's it going? ”

The old man stepped forward to comfort, "You kid is just anxious, don't worry, nothing will happen." Where is the relationship between the Queen Mother and our family, if there is really something, how can we not say it? ”

Mrs. Xue pondered the meaning of these words carefully, and her tense nerves relaxed a little.

Although Mrs. Xue didn't speak on the side, her eyes didn't leave the old lady for a moment. The old lady's brows, which had never frowned in the past, were now slightly wrinkled, even when she comforted Mrs. Xue, her face was not at all relaxed, it seemed that she didn't get any news from the mouths of the two attendants.

Second Mrs. Xue thought for a moment, stepped forward and said, "I'll help my sister-in-law go back to rest." "Looking for an excuse to temporarily leave everyone's sight, I just called Xue Chongyi to ask and see what he was selling.

The old lady pondered for a moment, then looked at Rong Hua and said to Mrs. Xue: "The weather is bad, you are uncomfortable, don't toss back and forth for a while, wait for a while Lang Zhong comes over to see the pulse, and then let someone carry you back on your shoulder." ”

Where is Lord Xue willing to get up, the old lady stepped forward and patted Mrs. Xue's hand" "Now is not the time to be strong" paused and continued, "The Queen Mother is still waiting, I will go to Ronghua's house to help her see what things to prepare." ”

When Second Mrs. Xue heard this, her eyes couldn't help but pick up slightly.

Rong Hua helped the old lady all the way to his room, opened the cabinet to choose clothes for Xue Mingrui, and saw the neatly folded robes in the cabinet, Rong Hua took a deep breath, when it came to the end, he must not panic, and then think about the note that Xue Mingrui asked Chang Ning's son Rongchuan to bring, and his heart gradually stabilized.

Rong Hua looked at all the clothes in the cabinet again, and made up her mind to take a set of dark robes, this set of clothes was specially made for Xue Mingrui after she knew that he had an errand to supervise and defend the defense, the color was dark and the clothes were thicker, so that he was running errands outside, and he could keep out the cold a little.

Putting all the clothes on the bed, Rong Hua raised his head and asked the old lady, "Do you think it's okay?" ”

When the old man saw these clothes, he knew what Rong Hua meant, and thought slightly, "Do you think Mingrui's errand of supervising defense will be done to the end?" ”

Although Xue Chongyi couldn't believe what he said just now, he couldn't believe it all, Rong Hua lowered his head and said: "I think that since the emperor still leaves the Hou Ye in the palace, there are many things that have not yet been decided. "Otherwise, according to what Xue Chongyi said, it must be punished, why do you need to leave Xue Mingrui in the palace, you can go to prison directly.

The old lady looked at Rong Hua, no matter who it was, how could there be no reason not to be in a hurry when she encountered this kind of thing, and the chamberlain suddenly said that she wanted to pass her into the palace, how could she imagine it in her heart at this moment, and it was rare that she could still try to calm down.

The old lady said: "You have heard what your second uncle meant, and his words are not without a little truth. In front of the Queen Mother, it should be okay to press the face of our family and protect Mingrui. ”

Rong Hua nodded, stepped forward and helped the old lady to sit down.

The old lady said: "If this is the case, Ming Rui will inevitably have to carry this matter from now on, and it may be difficult to enter the office again." But some things are good, as long as someone is ......"

Rong Hua raised her head, the old lady was looking at her, her eyes lit up slightly, "Although you are young, you are a smart and clever person, I see that you seem to have some ideas in your heart, and I will also tell me what I mean." ”

"It's nothing more than two results, either directly plead and admit the charge of not doing this errand well, and let Mingrui come back and talk about it, or follow Mingrui's wishes, the result may be good or bad."

Rong Hua nodded and the old lady said: "There has been more or less some news in the past few days, you can't believe or disbelieve other people's words, what is the situation in the palace, since you are called over, you have to see it", it seems that he remembered something, and paused for a moment" "Don't make a decision easily." ”

While the two were talking, Mother Li came into the house, holding a small mahogany box, and the old lady took the box, reached out and touched the front of the box, and the box popped open.

The old lady reached out and took out a jade floating flower wrapped gold bracelet from it and handed it to Rong Hua, "If you want to ask the Queen Mother, show this bracelet to the Queen Mother, if you don't want to have any requests, don't take out this bracelet." ”

Rong Hua closed his fingers, only to feel that the bracelet was cold to the touch, and it was heavy in the palm of his hand, and he raised his head to look at the old lady, who bowed his head at her slightly.

Rong Hua prepared everything and called Jinxiu and Mrs. Niu to follow the car, and was walking out, when Mrs. Xue hurriedly caught up.

The second wife looked at Jinxiu and Niu Pozi beside Rong Hua.

Jinxiu and Niu Pozi suddenly stopped and retreated a little farther.

The second wife hurriedly spoke, "Rong Hua, you are young, you must not panic in case of trouble, Mingrui's current situation ...... You have to know in your heart. , Don't be careless, ask when you should ask, I heard that the imperial concubine also likes you very much, our family is like this, you and Mingrui have just married and there is only one seedling in Mingrui, even if it is in the face of the old lady, no matter what the fault is, it must be lightly punished. ”

The second wife asked her to cry in front of the queen mother and the imperial concubine to gain sympathy.

Rong Hua lowered his eyelids and didn't speak, and the second wife comforted: "Calling you into the palace is not necessarily a bad thing, maybe it is for the sake of the old lady's face, give our family a chance, what your second uncle said just now, you must have a number in your heart." ”

Seeing Rong Hua's jaw, the second wife breathed a sigh of relief.

Rong Hua got into the carriage and slowly closed his eyes as he listened to the sound of the big noodles hitting the carriage outside.

The whole thing, from the second uncle Xue Chongyi going home to talk about the things in the palace, to the queen mother summoning her into the palace, it really came too quickly, and she still hasn't figured out how many of the words that the second uncle said are true or false.

Suddenly there was a big change, and the entire Xue family seemed to be united all of a sudden, and even what the second wife said made some sense.

What's going on in the palace?

Why is Mrs. Xue so nervous?

Even Xue Chongyi seemed to mean something when he spoke, and the old lady had that expression after hearing it.

Xue Chongyi just persuaded him a little, and the old lady decided to enter the palace to intercede, what is the connection?

Last night in Mrs. Xue's house, Mrs. Xue repeatedly mentioned An Guogong Xue Chongli, sometimes talking but stopped talking.

Lord Xue's two anxious performances made her think carefully over and over again. Gradually thinking of the Queen Mother, the old Queen Mother with a silver head and a kind face, she remembered that Xue Mingrui told her that the name Mingrui was given by the Queen Mother, and he used to be called Huaien, Xue Huaien.

Rong Hua's heart moved: "Could it be that the Queen Mother really wants to give the Xue family a chance this time?" Reach out to help the Xue family?

The carriage stopped outside the palace gate as usual, and Rong Hua held an umbrella by himself and handed over the waist card sent by the waiter.

After some inspection, after waiting for a cup of tea, an attendant came to guide the way. Rong Hua followed the chamberlain inside, and she vaguely remembered the way to the Empress Dowager's Kunning Palace, and took the initiative to turn around the fork in the road without waiting for the chamberlain to remind her.

The chamberlain smiled and praised: "Mrs. Wu Muhou is really good at remembering, many people can't remember how many times they have walked." ”

After marrying into the Xue family, the people around the old lady taught her the etiquette of entering the palace, and specially said that the road in the palace was the most difficult to remember, so the last time she followed the old lady, she paid special attention to memorizing it. She didn't take a step ahead of the chamberlain just now, just to see if he would open his mouth to talk to her.

And sure enough, the chamberlain opened......

After entering Kunning Palace, the chamberlain went in to pass the ceremony, and then an aunt led her to re-fix her makeup, and then she was officially led to the queen mother.

After the mat was placed, Rong Hua stepped forward and bowed, and after kneeling, the room was unusually quiet for a while, and the palace maid who was waiting next to her stood beside her with no expression on her face.

The queen mother sat on the soft seat, leaning on the bright yellow pillow behind her, wearing a golden phoenix, holding a huge Bijian gem on the phoenix's mouth, gently moving Ambilight, her head was already full of silver threads, although there were many wrinkles on her face, she was stretching, and she was looking down at Xue Tao, the wife of Wu Muhou.

After a while, Xue Tao was still kneeling motionless on the ground, and the Queen Mother smiled, "Get up quickly." ”

The palace maid helped Rong Hua up.

Seeing that Xue Tao's face was still a peaceful and demure expression, the Queen Mother beckoned to her, "Come and sit here." ”

The palace ladies immediately set up their seats on the side.

Rong Hua stepped forward and sat down respectfully.

The Queen Mother looked at Rong Hua and smiled slightly, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and this looks like she's grown up a little bit, how are the eldest princesses these days?" ”

Rong Hua hurriedly said: "The eldest princess is in good health, and she often thinks of the queen mother. ”

The Empress Dowager nodded and said: "It's raining so hard outside and I asked you to enter the palace in a hurry not for anything else, Wu Muhou is in the room next to the inner palace, I will let someone guide you and send the clothes", said here and paused deliberately, "It's not early, you go early." ”

This sentence sounded without any feelings, just like an edict, simple and clear, adding a kind of majesty, especially when the palace people next to him heard it, they immediately came over and stood beside her, as if everything was a foregone conclusion, she could only follow the steps, and was powerless to resist.

If it is said that the queen mother is thinking about the old lady's face and wants to help the Xue family tide over the difficulties, why didn't she say anything?

Even if you want to give some warning through her mouth, you should leave a few words.

The jade bracelet she put on her chest suddenly burned, should she ......

Rong Hua got up and saluted the Queen Mother again, but this time she knelt on the ground and refused to get up.

The Empress Dowager sighed for a while, "The mourning family also knows that Wu Muhou's errand this time is not easy. ”

Rong Hua's hand clenched a little.

The queen mother said: "Did the eldest princess let you talk?" ”

There was a burst of nervousness in his heart, and his heart seemed to be about to jump out of his chest, Rong Hua bit his lip slightly, and made up his mind, "The Empress Dowager, hum", took a deep breath, "The eldest princess asked the concubine to tell the Empress Dowager, and the Xue family will definitely serve the court wholeheartedly." ”

The Empress Dowager asked after a while, "Nothing else?" ”

Rong Hua said: "No." ”

The Empress Dowager's voice softened a lot, "Help Mrs. Wu Muhou up." ”

The palace people hurriedly stepped forward to help Rong Hua up.

Although Xue Tao's cheeks were slightly red, his eyes were still bright and clear, the Queen Mother nodded, her eyes lit up, "Go back and tell the eldest princess, if you are dedicated to doing things for the court, the court will definitely not treat you badly." ”

Rong Hua bowed and said, "Yes." ”

Out of the Taihe Gate, the waiter turned his head and said, "The front is gone." ”

Walking into a small door, there was also a room with red walls and green tiles, and there were two waiters standing at the door of one of them, Rong Hua walked over and opened the baggage he was holding for the waiter to check again.

The chamberlain only glanced at it, and then opened the door.

Rong Hua unloaded the rain gear and entered the house.

The window was very small, the room was a little dark, there was a pot of tea on the table, the tall figure sat at the table, looking through the book in his hand, Rong Hua took two steps forward, and Xue Mingrui raised his head.

…………”…………

It's late tonight, and I'm thinking about more.

Tomorrow there must be a warm play.
