Chapter 14: Old Friends
When Pear Ling and Nan Fei searched for a long circle in the harem but didn't find the silhouette of the flower, Pear Ling was a little anxious, this is in the harem, what if the mother walks around and goes to a place where she shouldn't go? Qiu Qi is also an ignorant person, and she knew that she should have let Nan Fei take her mother out for a walk.
Just when the pear girl was in a hurry, Mama Wang, who was next to the queen mother, found the pear girl and said that the flower silhouette was invited to the Zhengde Palace by the queen mother.
When Li Ling heard this, she was even more anxious, the Queen Mother didn't like her, so the Queen Mother called her mother to Zhengde Palace, it would definitely not be a good thing!
Li Ling hurriedly took Nan Fei to Zhengde Palace, and saw that Qiu Qi did not follow Hua Silhouette to see the Queen Mother, but waited outside, Li Ling was secretly anxious, what did the Queen Mother do, and left Qiu Qi outside?
"Please let the Heavenly Father-in-law inform the Queen Mother, and the pear will come to the Queen Mother to say goodbye." Li Ling said to the steward eunuch Tian Cha of Zhengde Palace that Tian Cha is the Queen Mother's most trusted servant in addition to Mama Wang, and is also one of the Queen Mother's henchmen.
Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, Pear Ling has a good attitude towards Tiancha, and Tiancha is not embarrassed by Pear Ling, so he immediately went to report.
Liling met the Queen Mother smoothly.
"The concubine asks the Queen Mother to say goodbye, and the Queen Mother is blessed." Pear Ling entered the house, lowered her head and glanced around, but did not see the figure of the flower silhouette, and Pear Ling was even more puzzled.
"Ling'er, let the mourning family take a look." The Queen Mother suddenly became very affectionate to Pear Ling, and took Pear Ling's slightly stiff hand and said: "You have been in the palace for so long, and you are busy with mourning family affairs, so I didn't even summon you, but it is not the mourning family." ”
Li Ling was a little overwhelmed by the Queen Mother's sudden enthusiasm, but she couldn't help but reply to the Queen Mother's words, Li Ling had to bite the bullet and said: "The Queen Mother is busy, naturally she is busy with the Queen Mother's major affairs first, the concubine is in the palace, and the Queen Mother can see it at any time, and she is not in a hurry." ”
"Your child is still so alienated from the mourning family, the mourning family didn't know that you were the daughter of the silhouette before, so he was a little cold to you, are you still complaining about the mourning family?" The Queen Mother's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness.
Before she had time to think about the meaning revealed in the Queen Mother's words, she hurriedly replied to the Queen Mother's last sentence: "How can the concubine complain about the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is good to the concubine, and the concubine is too late to be grateful, how can she complain?" ”
Although Li Ling didn't know the meaning of the Queen Mother's words, she still replied respectfully, the Queen Mother was the first person in the harem, and she couldn't offend her with a small charge.
"The Queen Mother doesn't have to blame Xi Chongyuan, she doesn't know that the courtiers and the Queen Mother are old acquaintances." It just so happened that the flower silhouette came back, so it opened at the right time.
The words of the flower silhouette made Li Ling understand what the Queen Mother said, it turned out that the mother and the Queen Mother were old acquaintances, but why did the mother never say it to her? Could it be that not only old acquaintances, but also grievances, so the Queen Mother will not wait to see her?
When the Queen Mother Yu Anqiao heard Hua Silhouette's words, she was a little dissatisfied, and asked with an unhappy face: "Why didn't Silhouette tell Xi Chongrong that the mourning family in the past was a good sister to you?" Could it be that the silhouette looks down on the sister of the mourning family? ”
"How dare the courtiers look down on the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is a nobleman, the courtiers don't dare to climb the Queen Mother, and they don't want Xi Chongrong to mess up the rules in the harem through the relationship between the courtiers and the Queen Mother." Flower silhouette cautious and humble answer.
After listening to the words of the flower silhouette, Yu Anqiao's face softened a little, "I didn't expect you to be a lot of hard work, it's just that!" Ling'er, the mourning family and your mother have been sisters for many years, but since the mourning family entered the palace, they have had less contact with the outside world, and they don't pay attention to things outside the palace, and they don't know that she married your father, and they don't know that you are her daughter. The Queen Mother's tone was a little melancholy.
"Don't dare." Pear replied obediently.
"Ling'er, the mourning family and your mother haven't seen each other for many years, and you want to keep your mother in Zhengde Palace for one night, you won't blame the mourning family for disturbing you and your mother, right?" Although the Queen Mother said the words of discussion, her tone was not refusal.
Li Ling glanced at the silhouette of the flower, and saw that she did not look scared and nervous, so she said: "The Queen Mother is serious, and the conversation between the Queen Mother and her mother will be long, and now the Queen Mother has finally got together with her mother, how can the Queen Mother not know such a weight." ”
"It's a well-behaved child," the Queen Mother boasted, "the silhouette is blessed." ”
"The Queen Mother has won the award." Flower silhouette with a faint smile.
"The mourning family is telling the truth," the queen mother also covered her mouth and smiled: "The daughter of the silhouette will not be bad, and the maid was born with a beautiful appearance, no wonder the emperor is so favored." ”
"The Queen Mother laughs at the Ling'er, but the Ling'er doesn't follow." Li Ling looked like a little daughter, which made Hua Silhouette and Yu Anqiao laugh for a while.
"The maid retired first, lest the queen mother make fun of the maid again." So saying, he went out of the house.
There was also a mother's voice from behind: "This child is like this, the Queen Mother is not surprised." ”
Li Ling walked out of Zhengde Palace, but the doubts in her heart were getting bigger and bigger.
What the Queen Mother said didn't pay attention to things outside the palace after entering the palace, Li Ling didn't believe a word, the Queen Mother can assist the emperor to ascend to the throne, how can she really be just a harem concubine who doesn't ask about things outside the palace? Besides, when her mother eloped with Li Jingzong, there was a storm in the city, could the queen mother not know? At that time, the Queen Mother hadn't entered the palace yet!
The more Ri Ling thought about it, the more confused she became, and she didn't know how to get back to the Daigo Palace.
And she didn't ask her doubts, so she left the flower silhouette in Zhengde Palace, which became the most regrettable thing in her life!
That night, Liling couldn't sleep over and over, Qiuqi, who was keeping vigil outside, heard the movement and hurriedly asked Liling what was wrong, Liling couldn't sleep, so she simply didn't sleep, and read the miscellaneous books she read on weekdays.
Yes, the lights are always on in Riya's bedroom.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, Qiu Qi hurriedly ran in, and after a while, Nan Fei also hurriedly walked into Wulai, looking very flustered, as plain as Nan Fei, rarely panicked.
"What's going on out there?" Li Ling looked at the expressions of the two and listened to the movement outside, and couldn't help but ask strangely, at this time, the curfew had already been curfew, why was it so noisy outside?
"Master...... I heard that there were assassins in the palace. Qiu Qi said with some horror: "The slave saw that the palace guards were arresting assassins everywhere." ”
"Now that the guards are already searching, the assassin must not be able to escape." Pear Ling didn't think much about it, but there would be assassins in the palace that was so heavily guarded?
Nan Fei regained her usual composure and said to Li Ling: "I'm afraid that the guards are about to search the Daigo Palace, Niangniang, put on your clothes." ”
As soon as Nan Fei's words were finished, there was movement outside.
"The master is resting, you can't ......" Sanwei's voice came from outside.
Nan Fei hurriedly asked Qiu Qi to find clothes for Li Ling to put on, and she went out to deal with the guards outside.
"Let them come in and search for them." As soon as she got dressed, she told them to go into the inner room and search them so as not to arouse suspicion.
Naturally, no Assassins were found, and soon the guards left.
"It's all right, go and rest." Pear Ling felt a little sleepy, so she ordered the two of them.
"Yes."
