The queen invited, how dare Ling Zhao disobey, but when she really came to Kunning Palace, the queen was nowhere to be seen.

Pomegranate entertained them, saying that the Empress Dowager had suddenly decreed that the Empress Dowager would invite the Empress to go, and that the two of them would wait a while, and that the Empress would be back soon.

Hui Gege was happy to take care of himself, Ling Zhao felt uncomfortable, and asked casually: "I don't know what happened when the Empress Dowager summoned Niangniang." ”

Pomegranate said kindly: "I can't know until the mother comes back, and the slave hasn't heard anything about it." ”

Although Pomegranate was kind, Lingzhao felt embarrassed, she asked things that shouldn't be asked, and she seemed to be frivolous and unscrupulous.

But Yu'er and Su Mala had already warned Pomegranate that although she followed Shu Shu, she couldn't be too partial, standing in Yuan Xi's position, Xuan Ye's harem was Yuan Xi's daughter-in-law, even if she was loyal to Shu Shu, she had to be kinder and more tolerant to other children.

So Pomegranate wouldn't tell right and wrong in front of Shu Shu, but Lingzhao himself said the wrong thing, that is, he was restless, and finally left without waiting for the queen to return.

And on the side of Cining Palace, Shu Shu had already followed the Empress Dowager to Fengxian Hall to offer incense, and before going out, the ancestors and grandchildren talked about the bed warming palace maid in Qianqing Palace.

Shu Shu did not hide her sadness, but accepted the reality generously and told the imperial grandmother that she would treat the two girls well for the emperor.

Su Malaxuan's two children are both on duty in the Fengxian Palace, responsible for cleaning the courtyard, once they are transferred from here to the Qianqing Palace, they will make their words clear in advance, and everyone else will also understand what they are doing in the Qianqing Palace.

When the Empress Dowager and the Empress arrived, they knelt down with the others to greet them, Shu Shu looked carefully in the direction pointed by Su Mala, the two girls were older than her and Xuan Ye, although they were not beautiful in the country, they were also delicate and upright, and they were very pleasing to the eye.

As for their words, deeds, conversation and character, Mama Su Mala must have observed countless days ago, and there is no need for Shu Shu to do more at the moment, the Empress Dowager asked her to take a look, then she will take a look, except for nodding, there is no other choice.

Back in Cining Palace, Shu Shu said to the two: "Grandchildren have seen it, imperial grandmother, just choose them." ”

Yu'er took the hand of her little granddaughter-in-law and said: "You will experience these things when you enter the palace early, whether you have experienced it, everything is in your own eyes, and you know the roots." When you were your mother, she was very close to the palace maid of the first emperor, Barya, naturally, her position is different from yours, and even the imperial grandmother can't understand your pride and self-esteem as the queen. ”

Shu Shu said humbly: "The pride and self-esteem of the grandson are all given by the emperor and the imperial grandmother, and the grandson will cherish it and exercise his power well." Imperial grandmother, this matter, let the grandson go and talk to the emperor, okay? ”

"Since you are willing, it is naturally good, there is a discussion between the two of you, which is better than anything else." Yu'er said, but after thinking about it, she solemnly said to her little granddaughter-in-law, "Child, as a queen, you must be tolerant and generous, but as a woman, you have no responsibility and obligation to let your husband out." There are subtle differences and differences here, can you understand what the imperial grandmother meant? ”

The smile on Shu Shu's face suddenly brightened: "Imperial grandmother, I understand." ”

When the queen returned to Kunning Palace, only Hui Gege was there, and Mama Wang, who followed her, kowtowed to the queen diligently and wished the queen good health.

Shu Shu ordered Pomegranate to reward some things and ordered her to take care of Hui Gege for a good life.

Hui Gege asked curiously: "Niangniang, what is the Empress Dowager looking for you, Concubine Zhao can't wait and leave." ”

Shu Shu disagreed: "It's nothing important, you can eat here in a while." She looked up at Pomegranate, "Go and ask Concubine Zhao if she wants to come to Kunning Palace for dinner." ”

Pomegranate said softly: "Niangniang, it's even more embarrassing to invite me again, let's talk about it later." ”

In Yikun Palace, Lingzhao sat at the desk, with stationery spread on the table, and the letter urging her family to reply was getting more and more urgent, but she couldn't think of a word of how to write it.

At this moment, Dong Yunlai told her that the queen Liuhui Gege had dinner in Kunning Palace.

"She's still in the mood to eat...... Ling Zhaowu muttered to himself, "Isn't that what matters?" ”

"The big thing at the moment, then only Sony-sama can't do it." Dongyun said.

Ling Zhao was suspicious and crumpled the letter in front of him: "Let them wait, I have nothing to say." ”

Dong Yun said timidly: "Miss, the slaves and maids have inquired clearly, do you want to listen?" ”

Ling Zhao immediately glared at Dong Yun: "Say, what are you going to do." ”

Dong Yun drooped his head, and whispered to Ling Zhao what the emperor and queen had done in Nanyuan in the past few days, flying kites, playing chess, shopping, eating at the same table, sitting in the same car, and almost sleeping in the same bed.

"And what about me......" Lingzhao was in great pain, "he hasn't looked at me in the eye for a long time. ”

"Could it be, for the sake of the master and Lord Ao, the emperor has a grudge against you in his heart." Dong Yun said, "Miss, you know, Lord Ao Bai not only blocked the emperor's pro-government this time, but also yelled at the emperor in the court in the past, the emperor must be very jealous of Lord Ao, and you are his righteous daughter." ”

Ling Zhao burst into tears: "It's not something I want to admit, I can't make decisions for myself." ”

Before the master and servant finished speaking, Kunning Palace sent a gift from the queen, saying that she had missed the appointment today, and asked Concubine Zhao not to take it to heart, and invited her to go to Ningshou Palace tomorrow to play chess with the queen mother.

This is the dignity and decency of the middle palace, and with her kindness and tolerance, she slapped Ling Zhao hard.

In the same way, she couldn't sit down on the queen, except to grovel, that is, to obey orders.

Ling Zhao lay on the bed and cried, at her age, even though her mind was calmer than that of children of the same age, she was still too young.

At the time of the appointment the next day, Ling Zhao came to wait outside Kunning Palace early, Shu Shu saw that she was very kind, and walked side by side in the direction of Ningshou Palace.

"I should mention to you about the Queen Mother's summons to me yesterday." Shu Shu said, "You and I entered the palace together, you are the lord of Yikun Palace, and you should have a foundation in your heart." ”

Ling Zhao said embarrassedly: "The concubine suddenly felt unwell yesterday, and she couldn't wait for the return of the mother, and she bothered to ask the mother to take time today, which really shouldn't be." ”

Shu Shu said: "Hui Gege was here yesterday, and it was not appropriate to say these words, so it would not be in the way." ”

She said straight to the point: "It's for the emperor's maid, the imperial grandmother has a suitable candidate, and asked me to take a look." ”

Ling Zhao was stunned, and it took a while to come back to his senses: "Yes, yes......"

Shu Shu said: "In the future, we will treat each other with courtesy, Eniang and the emperor's palace maid Barya Fujin are very close, we must uphold Eniang's tolerance and generosity, but ask the emperor to have peace in the harem and prosperity for the heirs." ”

Having said that, only Hesheri Shushu can call Eniang and the emperor's grandmother, and only she is her daughter-in-law, and she is just a decent minion.

Ling Zhao swallowed his grievances and unwillingness, and replied respectfully: "Remember, concubine, please rest assured." ”

In the Fengxian Palace, Ma Jia and Dong, the maids of the Zhenghuang Banner Baoyi Palace, were taken away, and they came to the Cining Palace, where they had never set foot in a trembling manner, and met the Empress Dowager who had only secretly looked up in the Fengxian Palace.

Yu'er asked a few words about her family history, and then left to go to the study, they were just palace maids serving the emperor, and she didn't need her to teach them personally.

Su Mala ordered the two of them to get up, and asked solemnly, "Do you know what you are doing here?" ”

The two of them were already frightened, nodding and shaking their heads, their faces dazed.

"From today onwards, you will go to the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace on an errand." Su Mala said, "Serving the emperor's daily life, naturally...... Whatever the emperor wants you to do, you have to obey, what the emperor doesn't want you to do, you don't even say a word. ”

No matter how stupid the two girls are, they understand.

Since the emperor's wedding, there has been a legend among the palace maids that who will become a lucky person like Barya Fujin, but who can say clearly whether it is lucky or unlucky.

"Both of you will stay, or both of you will leave, or you may leave one and the other." Su Mala said solemnly, "There is no competition between you, if nothing happens, there will be no harmony first, and I will not tolerate any of them." ”

"Yes, Mama." The two trembled and agreed.

"Except for serving the emperor wholeheartedly, don't think about anything else." Su Mala said, "Take care of your mouth, don't say what you shouldn't say, and take care of your eyes and ears, what you shouldn't see and what you shouldn't listen to is not allowed." ”
