After coming out of the dormitory, Shaohua's mind has been in a state of chaos and confusion, and she almost can't remember why it suddenly became for her to go to harmony, could it be that this is a deliberate revenge for her refusal to marry Hongfang. It sounds ridiculous, and anyone who refuses to marry the prince has to go to make peace, and King Nadora will not worry about no one in the harem.

Seeing Shaohua's confused appearance, Su Jin didn't dare to make a sound after following her, and after Shaohua entered, she was also left behind by the palace maid on duty for a while. I thought that the Queen Mother must blame her for procrastination, after all, she is not a person who often walks the palace, and it is normal for someone to be reprimanded to look like she has no master.

The two of them walked back in silence, but they almost bumped into the oncoming person.

"What house are you from, don't you have eyes when you walk?" With a angry shout, when he saw Su Jin behind him, he was stunned for a moment, "Su Jin, why are you?" When Su Jin heard this, she looked up and found that it was the big palace maid who was also on an errand in the Empress Dowager Palace with her when she almost bumped into Shaohua, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Sister Frangipani, I was ordered by the Queen Mother to bring the Li family lady over. ”

Su Xin glanced at Shaohua, who was lost in his soul, and made a false salute, "It turned out to be the lady of the Li family, I was presumptuous." ”

"Wu Niang?" Franipi is an old and senior palace person in the palace, and she is the queen mother's dormitory, so she doesn't pay attention to the ordinary courtiers, but she didn't expect the master behind her to take the initiative to catch up. Shaohua heard someone call her name, raised her eyes suddenly, and saw Mrs. Xingyongbo, who she hadn't seen for a long time, and the whole person was stunned for a moment, and she forgot to salute.

Perhaps it was a rare acquaintance, Mrs. Xingyong looked very happy, and Shaohua hurriedly saluted, "Why is Madame here?" As soon as he finished speaking, a stirring in his heart immediately reacted, and he immediately regretted it. Since Xingyongbo's Mansion was looted, looted, and burned by anti-thieves, no one has taken care of it, and even the people in the mansion have disappeared. She only knew that Empress Dowager He understood Mrs. Xingyongbo and her daughter Lanzhi for being lonely and miserable, and took them into the palace to live, but she didn't expect that this stay, Lanzhi would never go back to Xingyongbo's mansion, and Mrs. Xingyongbo did not step out of the palace again.

Thinking of what the Queen Mother had just said to her, Shaohua suddenly felt that the smile on Mrs. Xingyongbo was a little flashy, and she didn't know if she knew about Yan Kaizhi. Outside the daughter and relatives, now that the son has encountered an accident again, in Shaohua's eyes, there is no one more pitiful than Mrs. Xingyongbo.

was suddenly asked by Shaohua, Mrs. Xingyong was speechless, and she didn't know how to answer her. Fortunately, there was a frangipani by the side to remind, "Madam, didn't you go to see the Queen Mother?" Only then did she come back to her senses, she had another purpose for her trip, so she said to Shaohua with a smile: "If you are not in a hurry to leave the palace tomorrow, come and sit with me, I haven't seen you for many days." ”

Shaohua opened his mouth for a long time, then nodded indifferently, saluted her, and left. Looking at her lonely back, Mrs. Xingyongbo couldn't help frowning, looked back at the dormitory not far away, smiled, and strode towards the direction of the lights.

"Back to Niangniang, Mrs. Xingyong asks to see you." probably didn't expect someone to come so late, the queen mother paused, and motioned for the palace maid to invite Mrs. Xingyong to see the back room.

Seeing Mrs. Xingyongbo, who was dressed in a plain blue dress, walked in with a faint expression, and after stooping down, she sat down and found a seat by herself, not thinking of this place as the queen mother's bedroom at all. The palace maid was a little displeased, frowned, and was about to speak, when she heard Empress Dowager He chuckle, "Why doesn't my sister rest so late?" "In fact, the people in the palace have long been accustomed to this uncle and wife who is not noble, but the Queen Mother likes it, and always indulges her in the palace to be free and loose.

Mrs. Xingyong raised her eyes and said nothing to the palace maid with a sullen color on it. The queen mother had to dismiss all the palace maids, leaving the two of them in the huge palace, which seemed a little deserted. "I'm here to ask the Queen Mother when she can let me out of the palace." That being said, it didn't make anyone hear that she was here to ask.

Empress Dowager He was not angry, "Is it uncomfortable to live in the palace, or are the palace maids snubbing my sister?" ”

Mrs. Xingyong said calmly: "The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own grass nest, the queen mother knows my temperament, and the wild road that grew up in the barracks and horse farms since I was a child can't be reserved no matter how I disguise it." ”

Empress Dowager He covered her mouth and chuckled, "Sister really likes to laugh, we grew up together, if you say so, then I'm not also a wild man." ”

Mrs. Xingyong didn't like to play Tai Chi with her, so she went straight to the point: "I implore the Queen Mother to be gracious and let me and Kaizhi go back tomorrow, I have lived in the palace long enough." ”

Empress Dowager He was ignorant of her words, and sighed mournfully, "Since Lanzhi got married, my sister has never said a word to me, and I know that my sister has a grudge in her heart. Laneige is a gentle parent, I remember her goodness, and I have always treated her as my own daughter, and I don't feel good about her marrying Doro. As he spoke, he covered his face with a handkerchief and choked softly, "Whether my sister complains or scolds, I know I can't make up for it." ”

Mrs. Xingyong didn't know what kind of medicine the queen mother bought in the gourd, although she was in pain in her heart about Lanzhi and her relatives, she gradually let go, after all, they had been with each other for a year. finally looked forward to the return of her son, but the mother and son were trapped in the palace, with her understanding of the Empress Dowager He, if she continued to live like this, she would have to lose her life.

She softened her breath and said softly: "How dare I resent, Laneige can make peace for the princess, which is Laneige's blessing." Mrs. Xingyongbo said reluctantly. Now that the matter has come to this, the Queen Mother does not have to blame herself, she just asks the Queen Mother to let our mother and son go home from the palace, which is a great grace. ”

"Oh, is it true? Don't you want Laneige back? Empress Dowager He asked softly.

Mrs. Xingyong was stunned for a moment, she didn't think that there would be this possibility, and immediately asked eagerly, "Can Laneige come back?" "Don't you have to wait until King Doro dies before you can return to Beijing? Could it be that the palace got some news, which made Mrs. Xingyongbo look extremely excited.

Seeing that her face was refreshed, Empress Dowager He replied with a smile: "Naturally, it's not impossible, let Laneige pretend to be sick first, and then we will send a doctor over to say that Laneige is terminally ill." At that time, let His Majesty choose a new lady to send to Heqin, and exchange Laneige back. "This trick has been used by someone in the previous dynasty.

Mrs. Xingyongbo never thought that she could do this, and she was happy to become a flower in her heart, as long as she could bring her daughter back, she could do whatever she wanted. It's just that where to find a lady to replace Laneige, Mrs. Xingyongbo couldn't help but hesitate. "Who is the Queen Mother planning to send to make peace?" No matter who you send, it will be a pain of separation.

Seeing that Mrs. Xingyong had taken the bait, Empress Dowager He smiled and said, "Li Gelao's granddaughter, Li Wuniang." ”

Mrs. Xingyong didn't think about it, and immediately vetoed: "No! ”

Empress Dowager He asked, "Why not?" Don't you want Laneige back? I just asked, and she volunteered to change Laneige and come back. Looking at Mrs. Xingyongbo's attitude, Empress Dowager He said: "Elder Li Ge has taught a lady who understands righteousness, and with her ingenuity, she will definitely be able to capture the heart of King Doro." Wait until Your Majesty is seated, and then bring her back. ”

Mrs. Xingyong shook her head resolutely, "Please think twice, the Queen Mother understands the pain of this separation of flesh and blood, and I don't want anyone to be like me." It is Laneige's life, and the Queen Mother is asked to take it back. If it was someone else, she might have agreed, but Shaohua is her daughter-in-law, although her son didn't speak, she knows in her heart what Shaohua is to Yan Kaizhi. wanted to exchange her future daughter-in-law for her daughter, and Mrs. Xingyong suddenly felt that the queen mother was clearly going against her.

Empress Dowager He said suspiciously: "Sister, this is different, you only have one daughter, Lanzhi." Li Ge Lao has three granddaughters, and Li Wuniang has a sister-in-law, a sister-in-law, and it is said that there are two younger brothers, so it is okay to have one less. ”

Mrs. Xingyong sneered, "If it were someone else, I wouldn't be silent, but I can't do it." She paused for a moment and bowed, "I also want to ask the Queen Mother for a favor this time, that is, I want to ask the Queen Mother to marry Kaizhi and Wu Niang." ”

Empress Dowager He said curtly: "It turns out that my sister is in love with the lady of the Li family, it's a pity." ”

Mrs. Xingyong was puzzled, "What is a pity? ”

Empress Dowager He replied: "It's a pity that my sister came one step late, the third princess had already told me earlier, and the prince also fell in love with Li Wuniang." I heard Erlang say that Li Wuniang was interested in Kaizhi, but how did she know that the prince was interested in her again. We are aunts and cousins who grew up together, the third princess is my sister-in-law, and both sides are my nephews, I can't let a little lady ruin their relationship, this is also my last resort. ”

Mrs. Xingyongbo gritted her teeth and said angrily: "Isn't it possible for Laneige's sake to fulfill this time for the sake of Rouwan and his relatives?" This is for fear of ruining the relationship between Yan Kaizhi and Hongfang, it is clear that she is not like being caught in the middle and being difficult to be, and she doesn't want to offend one of them, so she simply offends together.

Empress Dowager He pretended to be surprised, "But I let Laneige come back." ”

Mrs. Xingyong pursed her lips, her face became a little embarrassed, knowing that the Queen Mother was deliberately making things difficult, but she couldn't say a word to refute it. She took a deep breath and said calmly: "Then please ask the Queen Mother to look at her husband's face and fulfill them." ”

It seemed that she didn't expect Mrs. Xingyong to mention the past, Empress Dowager He's smile became cold, and she smiled faintly: "Sister is going to settle old accounts with me?" ”

"Don't dare." Mrs. Xingyong replied coldly, "It's just that the husband has left, and Lanzhi has also reconciled, so I have such a son left, please let the Queen Mother fulfill it." ”

Empress Dowager He stood up, and her scarlet cloak fell to the ground, looking very bright. She slowly spread her steps, and her voice became soft, "Sister, do you know that I have always been jealous of you, although I am now the queen mother, but you know it in your heart." We grew up together, but you are smarter than me, prettier than me, and even the man you marry is better than me. The daughter who was born is well-behaved and sensible, and the son is so heroic and capable, sister, why do you say that all the good things in the world have caught up with you. ”

Mrs. Xingyongbo's face was a little angry, which was obviously unreasonable, "Please be cautious about the Queen Mother." ”

"It doesn't matter if you're cautious or not, anyway, no one in this harem can go against me." Empress Dowager He sighed faintly, "I think at the beginning, I also persuaded my sister to marry into the palace with me, if my sister listened to the persuasion at the beginning, now this glory and wealth, my sister is also half." Mrs. Xingyong was in a cold sweat when she heard this, and she didn't dare to answer at all, but fortunately, the Queen Mother changed her head after speaking, "It's okay, it's been decades, the second princess of the year is gone, Long live the lord is gone, even the slut of the Wang family is dead, this world is my He family after all." ”

Mrs. Xingyongbo felt that she should not stir up this topic, the events of that year were a secret that they had to bring into the coffin, and she did not go to the Empress Dowager He first to take advantage of the topic.

"Queen Mother, Chenguang is not early, you should rest."

Empress Dowager He turned her head and saw that she looked solemn and cautious, knowing that her words scared her, she hurriedly smiled and eased the atmosphere, "Yes, Uncle Xingyong died for Erlang's current throne, I naturally won't forget it." Sister rest assured, I was joking with my sister just now, Li Wuniang is an interesting little girl, if she sends it to kiss, wouldn't it be cheaper for King Doro. ”
