Chapter 14: Meet the Queen Mother

On the morning of the second day, before dawn, Fang Gu pulled the slave up from the mattress, found a decent pink skirt for the slave to change, and then pressed her in front of the dressing table and sat down. She summoned Bilan to make up her and went out to prepare breakfast.

The slave rubbed her eyes, which were still sleepy, and sat up straight. But Bi Lan, who combed her hair, took an ivory jade comb and combed it back and forth on a strand of hair several times, looking a little absent-minded. The slave asked casually, "Bilan, what is on your mind?" I've always seen that you've been a little out of energy lately. ”

"Miss Xie cares, the slave maid follows Miss to eat and dress warmly, there is nothing to worry about." Bilan smiled faintly, took her mind back, and seriously touched her hair.

The slave smiled silently, she didn't expect Bilan to easily twist the spear and take refuge in her. After all, in front of the dignified general's wife, she is just the daughter of a concubine who is not favored, a person who can't even control her own fate, how can she control the fate of others? It is said that Fang Gu calculated the time, and when someone from Shoukang Palace came to spread the word, Bi Lan happened to be busy with the work in hand and combed a beautiful falling horse bun for the slave.

The slave put on her cloak in an orderly manner and was taken out of the hall by Aunt Fang. She looked around, and there was no sedan chair parked outside Zhu Yunlou, and there were no palace people waiting to guide the way. At that time, she didn't know that with her identity and the prestige of her father, General Fuyuan, it was impossible for her to go to Shoukang Palace alone. She was not familiar with the rules of the palace, and thought that the queen mother did not pay attention to it because she was a concubine, so she didn't think much about it, but hurried to Shoukang Palace with Aunt Fang.

At this time, there was still fine snow in Shengjing in November, and it rained heavily last night, the road surface was slippery, and the blue stone slabs were covered with a layer of white snow. The slave held the skirt in one hand and supported Fang Gu in the other, walking cautiously in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow. At this time, her peachy skirt had been wet with snow, mixed with a little mud and dust, and the stain looked so out of place in the middle of a gorgeous pink.

The slave was not paying attention, and his feet slipped.

"Girl, be careful!" Fang Gu exclaimed in surprise, because she was holding an umbrella for the slave with her right hand, she could only hold the slave with her left hand, and the two of them almost stumbled together.

"No problem." The slave squatted down to smooth out the hem of her crumpled skirt, and at this moment, several pairs of black palace boots appeared in front of her. Four eunuchs hurried past her carrying a dark yellow palanquin. She looked up, and a gust of wind blew the corner of the sedan curtain, and it was Lu Nianyu sitting inside.

Unlike her embarrassment, Lu Nianyu sat inside calmly and calmly, with a faint smile on her face. is also a concubine, Lu Nianyu is as noble as a princess, and she seems to be a clown who jumps off the beam, struggling in the trap of others.

Amusing.

The slave was steady, and deliberately embarrassed her in the palace, except for the Li family's mother and daughter, there would be no one else, and the Lu Yinhua sisters were still young, and they didn't have the courage or ability, how could she not know that this must be the pit dug by the Li family for her. When she rushed to Shoukang Palace in embarrassment and made a fool of herself in front of everyone, by the way, she mentioned her identity as a concubine and mentioned her death to her biological mother, and her reputation was ruined before she reached the age of Sheng.

She looked at Aunt Fang and asked, "What punishment will there be for neglecting the summons of the Queen Mother?" ”

Aunt Fang's expression froze, in fact, how could Aunt Fang not see through Li Yuzhi's tricks? She didn't say it, she just didn't want to be eye-catching. I thought that the fourth young lady couldn't understand many things at a young age, and this dumb loss was decided, saying that she had thought that she would suddenly ask like this, but it was so precocious that it made people a little frightened. Fang Gu glanced at the slave, bowed her head and said, "If you are light, you will be scolded, and if you are heavy, you will be punished." ”

What she didn't say was that no matter how severe the punishment was, even if the Queen Mother was not angry at General Fuyuan's face, but this first impression was gone, and the days ahead would only be more sad. The slave is not stupid, she feels like a mirror in her heart. Li dug a hole for her, she not only had to jump, but also fell badly.

The slave stopped her hurried steps, looked down at herself, and said to her aunt, "My dress is dirty, how can I meet the Queen Mother." You rush back and bring the Liuyun plain dress in my cabinet, so as not to lose your temper in front of the Queen Mother later. ”

"But girl, do you know the way to Shoukang Palace?" Fang Gu frowned and asked.

Nu'er nodded, "I recognize, after walking along this road, won't you just turn right?" Seeing that Fang Gu was very surprised, she added, "Yesterday I asked the palace maid who guarded the room. ”

"Good aunt, you have to hurry, be sure to bring me clothes to change before I enter the Shoukang Palace. Otherwise, the slave will have to be trained again. The slave looked at Aunt Fang pitifully with a pair of big eyes. Aunt Fang was also soft-hearted, but when the child's early wisdom was caused by the loss of her mother, she still decided to help her, so she handed over the handle of the umbrella to the slave, and she left quickly.

The slave turned around, and the pitiful innocence in her eyes had long since disappeared, replaced by indifference.

She looked around, and there was no human figure on the wide palace road, and a thin layer of snow had accumulated on the ground. Nu'er put down her umbrella, walked to the corner behind the palace lamp and picked up a stone, she was heartbroken, and smashed her forehead hard. The corners of her forehead were red and swollen, she hissed, threw away the stone casually, picked up the oil umbrella, pressed the umbrella down on the road back to the palace, covered most of her face, and then hurried forward a few steps, until she caught a glimpse of a figure not far away, she slipped her feet and fell down hard.

The oil umbrella covered her head, and she lay on her stomach on the cold snow for a long time before someone stepped forward to remove the umbrella and helped her up.

"Who are you?" She was lifted up by a richly dressed little girl, eight or nine years old, with two buds and a long-lived lock hanging from her neck. Although she was alone, Nu'er saw that she was not afraid at all when she spoke, and she should be a person of considerable status when she was dressed. Nu'er stroked her forehead and said, "I am the fourth daughter of the Lu family, Wei Nu'er." ”

"The Lu family? I only know about the Fuyuan general Lu Zhi Lu family. The girl held her head and thought for a moment.

The slave nodded, "That's my father." ”

"Your father is such an amazing man! It's a big hero! The girl clapped her hands and said excitedly, she suddenly remembered something, took the slave's hand and walked straight forward, saying as she went, "I see that your forehead is broken, and you have to use medicine to wipe it." ”

The slave was pulled by this little girl, and was taken by this girl to the gate of Shoukang Palace. When the gatekeeper saw her, he immediately greeted her, "Princess Furou, why are you here?" ”

It turned out that she was a princess. The slave sighed secretly.

"This is the daughter of a great hero, she accidentally fell just now, so I took her to the imperial grandmother to ask for some medicine." Fu Rou said to herself, so that the eunuch guarding the door heard in a fog, and Nu'er explained, "The courtier is General Lu's fourth daughter, Wei Nu'er, who was called to meet the Queen Mother today, who would have ......" She showed a wry smile, and the eunuch immediately understood, he made a way, called two palace maids and ordered, "You take Miss Wei down to freshen up and heal your injuries first." ”

"Yes." The two palace maids responded in unison.

The eunuch said to the slave again, "Miss go and wait first, and the slave will go to tell the queen mother." Seeing the slave nodding, the eunuch patted the snow on Fu Rou's body again, let her hold the hand stove, and said to Fu Rou with a smile, "Since the princess is here, do you want to go with the slave to greet the queen mother?" ”

"I want it." Furou nodded, and said to the two palaces, "You have to take good care of this young lady." Then he jumped up and followed the eunuch to the queen mother.
