The sky was dark, the queen mother was not in good health, and the poetry meeting was temporarily canceled, and after a day of turmoil, she could also rest for a night.

Qinghe sat by the door, holding his chin with one hand and looking at the bright moon on his head, while secretly glancing at Duan Rubian a few times, he was caught by Duan Rubian a few times, but he lowered his head in shame.

Qinghe couldn't stop the curiosity in his heart, and secretly glanced at Duan Rubian, but suddenly found that Duan Rubian was standing quietly behind her with a book, Qinghe was startled, and hurriedly got up, "Miss, I'...... I ......"

"Don't spit out, just ask if you have something" Duan Rubian put down the book, his eyes were calm, and he looked at Qinghe quietly, waiting for her to speak.

Qinghe swallowed his saliva and stepped forward, "Miss...... Have you ever studied martial arts?"

Duan Rufang smiled faintly, "I haven't lived in the General's Mansion since I was a child, do you think I can do martial arts?"

Qinghe was stunned, "That...... You ...... that miss."

"The young master of the Qin Mansion likes to ride and shoot, I stay in the Qin Mansion and am often oppressed by him. Since I was a child, a group of gentlemen have regarded me as a live target for archery, and it is common for me to stand in front of the target with an apple on my head, and it is common for me to be forced to race horses with them, and it is common for me to be injured beyond recognition. If you don't want to be bullied, you have to learn to shoot arrows and learn to ride horses.

Duan Rubian said these words slowly, and her heart was a little relaxed, these words were all words that she had prepared a long time ago, although they were not very true, but they would not be debunked no matter how many times they were repeated, after all, the people in the Qin Mansion were already dead.

"Miss, can you repeat the third sentence you just said?" Qinghe asked softly as he stared at Duan Rubian.

Duan Rubian paused for a moment, "If you don't want to be bullied, you can only learn to shoot arrows and learn to ride a horse, and over time, you will naturally become."

Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still a trace of doubt between her eyebrows and eyes, Duan Rubian no longer cared whether she believed it or not, but looked at Qinghe extremely indifferently, word by word, a little threatening

"Don't tell Su Jinyu everything about me again, this is the last time I warn you, if I find out again, you can go back to him"

Qinghe's heart trembled, and his lips trembled a little...... Miss, I'm ......"

"Enough" Duan Rubian interrupted, turned his back to her, "You go out"

Qinghe bit his lower lip and turned to leave, the moonlight penetrated through the window and sprinkled on the ground, countless spots were very cold.

Duan Rubian took a few deep breaths and prepared to sleep in wide clothes, but who knew that the grandmother in the Queen Mother's palace suddenly came to visit, saying that she was going to invite Duan Rubian to chat with the Queen Mother......

Under the guidance of Mama Liu, Duan Rubian came to the Queen Mother's bedroom alone, Empress Pei is not the biological mother of the current emperor, but the relationship between the two is very good, almost nothing to talk about, the emperor is filial, vacating the most gorgeous Fengqi Palace, as the name suggests, it can be seen that his filial piety.

Mama Liu asked Duan Rubian to wait, and went in to tell the Queen Mother, the night was cold, Mama Liu urged quickly, Duan Rubian was wearing thin, her lips were a little purple, she looked up not far away, licked the corners of her dry lips, Duan Rubian probably knew what the Queen Mother meant.

Within a while, Mama Liu came back, but her face was a little embarrassed. She walked up to Duan Rubian and saluted, "Third Miss, the Queen Mother is taking a nap, you need to wait a little longer."

Duan Rubian smiled gently, "Since the Queen Mother is resting, I will go back first, and I will get up early tomorrow to meet the Queen Mother" and turned around to leave.

Mama Liu hurriedly stopped, "Don't do it, the Queen Mother said that I will discuss with you tonight, if you leave, the Queen Mother will wake up again, and I can't find you, but I am the old slave who suffers!"

Duan Rubian's expression changed slightly, and the tone of his voice changed a little: "What? Mama Liu is trying to detain me?"

Mama Liu saluted, her head hung down, and she couldn't see the color of her eyes clearly, "The old slave doesn't dare, it's just acting on orders, and I ask the third lady to understand"

Duan Rubian glanced at the palace, and suddenly laughed, "Mama Liu is too bold, falsely spread the will of the Queen Mother, you deserve to die!"

"Third Miss, what are these words!" Mama Liu was shocked and shouted angrily.

Duan Rubian was not in a hurry or slow, and said eloquently, "The palace is brightly lit, and the law of Xiliang stipulates that the lights must be turned off after the curfew, and the same is true for the royal family, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, this is promised by the emperor himself, since the lights have not been turned off, and the curfew has not yet arrived, the Queen Mother is naturally still awake, not to mention that she wants to talk to me, how can the Queen Mother fall asleep first with such a demeanor, you are so bold, I am afraid that it is best to drag it out and cut it!"

Mama Liu was speechless with excitement, it was clearly the Queen Mother's personal grandmother who said that the Queen Mother was asleep, what did it matter to her?

"I want to see it for myself, but you are such a slave and maid who has harmed the Queen Mother" After speaking, Duan Rubian pushed away Mama Liu and quickly rushed into Fengqi Palace.

Duan Rubian came to the door of the dormitory with a familiar car, the two guards drew their swords against each other, and a red-clothed grandmother stopped the guards, standing on the steps and saluting Duan Rufang, "I've seen the third lady"

That look, very arrogant.

Duan Rubian sneered, walked up the steps, stretched out his hand as if pushing open the door, and the red-clothed grandmother immediately stopped and shouted, "Bold! What do you want to do?"

Duan Rubian put down his hand, dark and cold, "Naturally talk to the Queen Mother"

"The Queen Mother has fallen asleep"

Duan Rubian snorted coldly, "Sure enough, there is a problem, it seems that the grandmothers around the Queen Mother are all such lords who pretend to convey their wills."

The red-clothed grandmother didn't know, Duan Rubian simply told her what she had just said to Grandma Liu, and said it to her again, the red-clothed grandmother blushed a little, but she still had a righteous face, "I won't let you in"

Duan Rufang raised his lips, "That's not up to you!"

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward, pushed away the red-clothed grandmother, stretched out his hand to push open the door of the dormitory, the red-clothed grandmother screamed, and just wanted to find the Royal Forest Army, a soft voice came from the palace tent, "Stop the red makeup, let her in......"

The red-clothed grandmother respectfully retreated, closed the door of the bedroom, Duan Rubian stepped forward a few steps, and knelt outside the tent, "Duan's concubine Duan Rufang see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother Jin'an"

There was a rustle of cloth grinding against the tent, and in a few moments the curtain was lifted to reveal a white face.

The Empress Dowager Pei was glamorous in the capital when she was young, although she was old, she still had charm, no exaggeration, she was a little more glamorous than the harem beauties, but it was a pity that the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes still revealed the fact that she was no longer young.

"Get Up"

Duan Rubian slowly stood up, standing quietly in place and waiting for the Queen Mother to speak, the Queen Mother stared at Duan Rubian for a while, and there were some doubts in her heart, this girl is not stunning, she is still a concubine, the only thing that is useful is that she is only good at riding and shooting, how can such a person be praised by the queen like this?

"You are very bold, dare to trespass into the mourning palace" The Queen Mother opened her mouth faintly, Duan Rufang grinned lightly, and her eyebrows and eyes were curved to cover the different colors under her eyes

"If you are afraid of the safety of the Queen Mother, it is a little reckless"

The Queen Mother frowned, "This is the crime of the mourning family who did not punish you, if you condemn the mourning family, what will you do?"

"Naturally, it is up to fate" Duan Rubian replied coldly, but the Queen Mother was stunned, just a few words, it seemed simple, but the Queen Mother knew that Duan Rubian was very confident, so confident that she believed that she would not cure her crimes.

"It's a matter of resignation" The Queen Mother laughed heartily, causing Duan Rubian to smile too, it seems that she won the bet.

"The mourning family heard that you and the third child were riding and shooting, and you didn't tell Shi Qian in advance, causing the third child to scratch her face with an arrow, is this true?"

Duan Rubian took a few steps back and knelt on the ground, "Queen Mother, this matter is that Rufang didn't think it through, and Rufang knew his mistake"

The Queen Mother sighed, "This matter has nothing to do with you, but the third child seems to be very interested in you......" She had no expression on her face, but her eyes were gloomy, Duan Rubian knew that if she couldn't get past this problem, she wouldn't be able to get out of this Fengqi Palace today.

"The three princes and gentlemen are hard to chase after each other, and they lose to Ruflaw but do not break the contract, and now there are few such people, and Ruflaw admires it very much"

The Queen Mother was relieved by her answer, she just speculated that the reason why Xiao Lanshu did that was because Xiao Lanshu fell in love with Duan Rubian, but how could Duan Rubian marry the prince with a concubine, it can be seen that Duan Rubian didn't seem to have that thought, and the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief.

"The queen is very satisfied with you, you are liked" The queen mother picked up the teacup, took a sip, and observed Duan Rufang's face.

Duan Ru's eyes remained the same, but his face was a little red, "It's a blessing to be able to get the love of the queen's mother."

“...... The white jade chrysanthemum in the back garden of the mourning family has bloomed, is the third lady willing to accompany the mourning family to take a look?"

Duan Rubian was unhappy, but he still obeyed, and the Queen Mother ordered someone to take a cloak and put it on Duan Rubian, and the two walked to the back garden together.

The back garden is quiet, Duan Rufang helped the Queen Mother to walk in the chrysanthemum bush, and couldn't help but sigh the Queen Mother's enthusiasm for chrysanthemums, some of the chrysanthemums here are extremely rare, and some can't even grow here, but the Queen Mother in order to plant, she actually took care of herself to improve the soil, but also raised a garden of chrysanthemums.

"Which one here is the most popular with you?" The Queen Mother patted the back of Duan Rubian's hand and asked lovingly, Duan Rubian's eyes flickered, and she pointed to the chrysanthemum that was a little thankful in the corner not far away.

The Queen Mother was a little surprised, the chrysanthemum was so inconspicuous that she didn't notice it at all, but this garden full of chrysanthemums, why did Duan Rufang like that one?

"It's not as vigorous as other chrysanthemums, but it insists on sticking to the last touch of splendor, which is the reason why Rufang thinks it's beautiful" Duan Rufang said in a low voice, solving the Queen Mother's doubts, a breeze blew, and the chrysanthemum withered, and it was infinitely sad.

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and continued to walk forward, on the flat table not far from the rockery, a porcelain vase with blue and white tattoos stood there quietly, that was the Queen Mother's favorite Nanshan chrysanthemum, the Queen Mother was trying to tell Duan Rubian about how she won this flower, but was surprised to find that the porcelain vase was empty!

The Queen Mother was furious and immediately sent someone to find it, because the chrysanthemum was stolen, and the palace was not sleeping, but the flower was like flying away and could not be found anywhere, the Queen Mother decreed that if anyone stole the Nanshan chrysanthemum and did not hand it over, he would be killed after being found!

Seeing that all the maids and guards of Nanshan Ju were executed, the smell of slaughter spread in the palace for a few days, and it lasted for a long time.
