Chapter 13 The Queen Mother

"The Queen Mother." Qing Ruifan was still a little touched when he saw his biological mother, and even his words were trembling, and a slight tremor sounded in Gu Lingge's ears, and he shook his head silently.

The mother and son hugged each other and cried for a while before they stopped, and when Qing Ruifan helped her sit down on the chair, Gu Lingge had time to take a good look at the target. The Queen Mother is not very old, she is only in her early forties, and it can be seen from the vague charm at the corners of her mouth and eyebrows that she must have been well-maintained before, but now, her swollen and black eyes, her hair that is only temporarily pulled up, and her hoarse voice because of crying have nothing to do with the information she got about the "beauty of the world".

A loved one was not allowed to wash within three days of his death, but three days had passed, and the emaciated face of the Queen Mother didn't know if it was really for the emperor or another scene, Gu Lingge was not right to comment on the person who had just met.

"Queen Mother, this is Miss Zhi, and the child's safe return depends on the girl's help." Qing Ruifan came back to his senses and began to recommend Gu Lingge. He knew that with Gu Lingge's temperament, it would be strange that he would speak first. Only then did the Queen Mother turn her head and look at the woman standing on the side with her hands down.

is a very pleasing woman, not very ostentatious, with light eyebrows and eyes, as far away as distant mountains, and a faint sense of distance makes the Queen Mother frown. From her intuition, this is not a woman who is suitable for Qing Ruifan, or not suitable for the position of queen. Although it is a mourning period, she has been in charge of the latter position for many years, and she still has a clear priority. At present, the new emperor ascends the throne, and the stability of the palace is the best choice.

When a person dies, he is dead, and it is useless to think about it, and it is better to think about it later. This is the cruelty and reality of the royal palace, and even crying must not be seen by anyone else. It is this world that eats people and does not spit out bones.

"Murong Zhi has seen the Queen Mother." Gu Lingge bent down and tried to keep his voice soft. She can't show anything suspicious now, or she won't be able to go on the road ahead. The Queen Mother is not as fierce as the portrait her father gave her, but the dog that bites does not bark, what she needs is observation and action, and there will always be a suitable opportunity.

"Girl, please get up, my son will ask the girl to take care of it." The Queen Mother had never heard of Murong Zhi's name, nor did she know her background, so she could only believe whatever Qing Ruifan said. Judging from Gu Lingge's actions alone, she is neither humble nor arrogant, and she is well-mannered, maybe she needs to pay attention to this woman, after all, even that Yang Li'er didn't see Qing Ruifan bring her so heartedly.

"The new emperor Ji people have their own natural appearance, but Ah Zhi is not disgusted by the new emperor." Gu Lingge tried hard to pull the corners of his mouth, making a very demure and well-behaved appearance, with a little cowardice in his eyes. Not surprisingly, she saw satisfaction and vacillation in the afterglow of the Queen Mother. At first glance, no one doesn't like the weak, otherwise how can they set off their strength? How can the Queen Mother be a simple role, it's just that she has reined in her edge after so many years, and she is not inactive. Otherwise, why did the other concubines never have a prince after having Qing Ruifan?

Stretching out his hand, he presented a blue square box, slowly opened it, and said in a quiet voice: "Ah Zhi was born recklessly, and I never knew what the Queen Mother liked. I thought that the Queen Mother was tired of those jewelry and other things, so I sent a Jinpa I made myself, and I hoped that the Queen Mother would not dislike it. ”

The aunt in charge of the Queen Mother's side consciously presented the things. Although the Queen Mother only bothered to talk about it, her eyes still blinked when she saw the box. The box is wrapped in a silk brocade, a pliable brocade from South Vietnam, and the white brocade inside is folded into a square, with a simple black line outlined in the corner. Buddhists use lotus flowers as sacred objects. Xueyun forging is widely loved because of its cool and good feel, but even if it is royal, it is not easy to get two or three horses a year.

I have to say that this woman is also a person who can do things, she can go to the blood, take risks, and not flinch at all, which is very good.

In the end, it didn't take long for Qing Ruifan to see Gu Lingge sitting on the side and listening to the Queen Mother and his words very quietly, and when her brows furrowed, Qing Ruifan opened her mouth and left in advance. The Queen Mother couldn't say anything, so she could only let him be careful and take the throne as soon as possible. In this world, there is no one who will be left without an owner for a day.

When the person came out of Ci'an Hall, the Queen Mother looked at the box spread out in front of her, her eyes were faintly distant, and her voice was not hoarse before, but with the vicissitudes of life that had been shuttled from the years: "Duanxia, are you familiar with this Zhi girl?" ”

The maid beside her shook her head and looked at the Queen Mother gently: "The old slave is stupid, I never remembered who this girl was similar to." "The Queen Mother is a very gentle person, people like to recall the past when they are old, generally at this time, Duanxia will not bother, the Queen Mother is still a poor person in the end.

"yes, how do you know. All the people who knew about that incident are dead, and you haven't even seen that slut's face, how can it feel familiar? The Queen Mother slowly took out the brocade hand, the snow cloud forging is worthy of its name, and the cold touch on her hand is not cold at this time, but it is unusually comfortable, just like picking up a handful of water in the palm of your hand.

"After so many years, the Queen Mother should not take it to heart. Now assisting the new emperor is the most important thing. "Duanxia has a good advantage that he never puts the muzzle of the empress dowager's gun, but slowly changes the topic, so that this powerful person slowly ignites hope.

The Queen Mother paused, finally nodded, put Jinpa back, and then slowly precipitated a calm, time-traveling wisdom in her eyes: "Go and call Dye Er over." "Since the new emperor's accession to the throne is decided, it is time to discuss the branches. Duanxia's eyes darkened, and he finally answered and went out.

Gu Lingge walked out of the palace gate, and the whole person relaxed, slowly letting go of the tight shoulder line. She can be unwary now, not to mention Qing Ruifan, Lan Yi is still by her side, if something happens, Gu Lingge is definitely the one who survives.

Qing Ruifan saw Gu Lingge's fallen shoulders, and suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly. He liked her softness, and girls were always too savage like attacking beasts.

"What does Ah Zhi think of the queen mother?" Gu Lingge was asked abruptly, his long and slender eyes widened, and he paused before saying, "I don't make any comments on the people I just met for the first time." Her voice sounded somewhat dull, but Qing Ruifan sounded reassuring. No one spoke to him without honorifics, but Gu Lingge was so natural, like it should never be.

"Ah Zhi is a cautious person." Qing Ruifan walked in front lightly, the spring breeze blew his clothes away, and his voice was slightly fluctuating, but it was very good. Gu Lingge raised her eyebrows, and without saying a word, she saw the person standing in front of her: Hu Yue.

"The prince of Huyue is interested in entering the palace." Qing Ruifan also stopped, his voice was flirtatious. Qing Ruifan is not one of those pampered princes, but he has also rolled around in the rivers and lakes a few times, and it is not unusual to be able to know Huyue Gu Lingge, originally this person likes to go around.

"Please come uninvited, please don't blame the prince." Hu Yue bowed down decently. On the empty corridor, among the three people opposite, Hu Yue was most afraid not of the blue clothes he knew nothing about, but Gu Lingge, who had known him for many years. Gu Lingge is not the kind of person who can be read simply, otherwise Huyue would not have gained nothing for so many years.

"I heard that Miss Zhi was here, so I thought I would take a look. The last time I met the saint in the Gu was thanks to Miss Zhi. Huyue seemed to be smiling, the little white snake was not around Huyue's neck but wrapped around her waist, and it looked long. Gu Lingge raised his eyebrows, this man is actually not suitable for laughing, a pair of Danfeng eyes are too charming, and he is born to tease others. "If you see it, let's go, I still have something to do." Gu Lingge's words did not have any temperature.

"Miss Zhi is so cold, no wonder no one wants it." Hu Yue pursed her lips exaggeratedly as she spoke, and Gu Lingge just wanted someone to come and take this demon away. Qing Ruifan looked at the two, one teasing, the other helpless, as if there was something in his heart.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Prince, I want to be the Chief Physician of the Imperial Physician. "It's not a secret, I thought about asking Huyue to be the chief physician as early as when Qing Haoxuan was in power, but Huyue didn't agree to what he said about loving freedom and not liking to be bound. Qing Ruifan looked at the blue clothes, and the two of them were surprised at the same time.

"Of course it's good if Childe is sure. It's just that the chief physician in the palace is already manned, so you can only start with an auxiliary doctor. I hope Childe doesn't dislike it. Of course, Qing Ruifan will not go directly to the high position of Huyue, he is not distrustful of his ability, but he can't convince the public. In many cases, talent and experience must be linked to have a future.

Hu Yue's eyes rolled, and she nodded in agreement. Qing Ruifan nodded, called Lan Yi to take Huyue to the imperial medical prison, and he and Gu Lingge walked slowly on the bluestone brick road.

"It seems that the Queen Mother has a good impression of you." Qing Ruifan's tone was light, but Gu Lingge seemed to be a little irritable in his heart. She didn't know what the Queen Mother's impression of her was, but it was true that the Queen Mother's information was different from what she saw. There will definitely be no problems with Liulizhuang's intelligence network, and she needs to re-evaluate the Queen Mother. Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated.

"Where did Zhi Zhi get Zhijin and Xueyun Forging?" Qing Ruifan is not interested in those fabrics, but if he can master the shops that produce them, then it will be beneficial to the economic development of the whole country.

Gu Lingge's eyes did not squint, his side face was soft and gentle, but the words he said were full of ice: "Travelers from southern Xinjiang." "The traveler from southern Xinjiang has always been a legendary figure, with the world's treasures but never seen in public, and there are many people who have paid attention to his treasure but no one has ever succeeded in it, even if he has announced where his treasure house is. I saw corpses piled up, and I never saw jewelry out of the warehouse.

Qing Ruifan didn't ask any further, the behavior of the traveler in southern Xinjiang was strange, and he heard that he was extremely proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia, but how many people looked for him, he was always dead. Moreover, it is not for nothing that he will help Gu Lingge in a fog, and what Gu Lingge can provide is enough to exchange for these Rausch fabrics.

Gu Lingge doesn't like others to explore her, no matter what aspect it is, it will arouse her disgust, but Qing Ruifan doesn't. When this man asked her with gentle eyebrows and a humble look, she did not reject but was a little relieved.

I remember that a long time ago, there was an aunt in Zhuangzi who was responsible for taking care of her daily life and food when she was a child, and she once held her eight-year-old on her lap and whispered that everyone in this world has a doomed catastrophe, and the time is just sooner or later. She remembered that she said at the time that she should just avoid it, but her aunt laughed, and her dimples were full of the vicissitudes of the world: "Miss, the reason why the catastrophe is a catastrophe is a catastrophe that cannot be escaped and cannot be overcome." ”

The young lady has grown up, but she always remembers this sentence that strikes her heart and is extremely old. If there is really no way out, then go head-on, in this world, everything will always have a result.

"Your Highness, the Captain of the Scattered Cavalry and General Chang Sheng are waiting for you to summon you in the Yongyuan Palace." The waiter, dressed in green, strode over, looking at Qing Ruifan's voice in a hurry. Gu Lingge glanced at it casually, and after making sure that he could find his way, he said to Qing Ruifan in a light voice: "You go, I'll walk around the palace." ”

Qing Ruifan knew that Chang Dong was coming, and remembered that this loose cavalry captain was a Zheng Zheng man who Chang Dong recommended at that time and said that he had made great contributions, so he became interested, and heard Gu Lingge say this, just nodded and followed the waiter. Both of them had their own agendas, and they didn't notice the smile on the inside servant's smile at all, cold and treacherous.
