Hua Zhen nodded when she heard this, and instructed Jiang Fu to change her clothes for her, and then led Mama Cao out.

In the side hall, Mama Xi of Cining Palace was sitting and drinking tea.

Shen Songqiao accompanied him and saw Hua Zhen coming.

Even if he was reluctant in his heart, Shen Songqiao could only call: "Cousin." ”

Hearing this, Father-in-law Xi stood up with a smile on his face: "The slave has seen the county lord of Qinghe." ”

"Father-in-law Xi doesn't need to be polite, let Father-in-law Xi wait here for a long time, and please forgive my father-in-law. Hua Zhen said with a respectful expression.

There is no contempt on his face because Father-in-law Xi is a eunuch.

As a eunuch, these are the things that I care about the most, seeing the look on Hua Zhen's face, Father-in-law's face softened a little, and immediately said softly: "The Queen Mother asked our family to come over to spread the Queen Mother's decree, summon Qinghe and the county lord to Cining Palace, the county lord is not early, if the county lord has nothing to do, let's go with our family, Niangniang is still waiting in the palace." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen nodded: "I'm tired of my father-in-law to run it personally." ”

Saying that, she glanced at Mama Cao, and Mama Cao immediately stuffed a purse into her father-in-law's hand.

Father-in-law Xi held the purse, and suddenly the smile on his face was even worse.

Immediately smiled and said, "The county lord is polite, please." ”

Only then did he follow Hua Zhen out of the Jin State Mansion.

Shen Songqiao on the side couldn't help but be distracted when he saw Hua Zhen facing her father-in-law so calmly.

The mood became solemn, too.

Hua Zhen didn't know, but followed Gonggong Xi into the carriage of the Shen family and went all the way to Chongwenmen.

Because she was accompanied by Mama Cao, and she was also very familiar with this palace, she went all the way down the road directly to the gate of Cining Palace.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Gonggong Xi stopped and said politely: "The county lord is tired of waiting here for a while, and let our family go in and say goodbye." ”

Hua Zhen nodded, and Grandpa Xi went in.

After a while, he looked at him and walked out: "The county lord please, the queen mother summoned the county lord in." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen led Mama Cao into Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother just came out of the Buddha, with a faint scent of sandalwood on her body, when Hua Zhen entered, she was sitting high on the soft collapse, holding a string of prayer beads in her hands, and her eyes were slightly closed as if she was closing her eyes to recuperate.

Hua Zhen immediately stepped forward respectfully and knelt down and bowed: "Hua Zhen meets the Queen Mother, and the mother is blessed with Jin'an." ”

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager opened her eyes and looked at Hua Zhen: "I heard that yesterday the Jin State Mansion held a banquet for you to canonize the county lord, and it was very lively." ”

"Yes. Listening to the Queen Mother's straightforward words at the beginning, Hua Zhen had no choice but to respond.

Then I listened to the Queen Mother's voice lukewarmly: "I heard that there are still a lot of troubles." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen's expression was slightly restrained, and she lowered her head: "It's just that some accidents happened, I never thought that it would reach the ears of the Queen Mother, and it was Zhen'er's fault for disturbing the Queen Mother's Qing Xiu." ”

"What's wrong with you?" the Queen Mother looked at Hua Zhen when she heard this.

Hua Zhen knelt on the ground, looking respectful and did not speak.

After a long time, the Queen Mother sighed lightly: "You are also helpless, the mourning family is not stupid, I can see that this Shen family is afraid that it will not tolerate you." After all, Xiyue and Lianxing and Shen Chongmao will not be born from the same mother, and there is a little estrangement between you, rather than staying in the Shen family and causing such a thing, it is better for you to move out of the Jin State Mansion, and the province will make such a fuss, and even your own reputation will be ruined. ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen paused, and said softly: "Empress Dowager Xie cares, but the Hua family's mansion has already been classicized, and if Zhen'er doesn't live in her uncle's mansion, there will be no place to stay." ”

"Since the Hua family's house has been sold, buy another one, if one of your daughters doesn't have that much silver in their hands, it is not impossible to let the emperor find a house for you to make a mansion. It can be regarded as a reward for Hua Yan's war for the country that year. The Queen Mother didn't move her eyelids when she heard this, and her expression was still indifferent.

Hua Zhen understood that the Queen Mother wanted her to move out of the Shen family, but she just wanted Qin Huai to have no reason to meet her.

After all, if she chooses another mansion and lives alone with a woman, Qin Huai will not be able to come to the door, otherwise it will be criticized.

I knew in my heart that if she didn't follow the Queen Mother's wishes today, she was afraid that the Queen Mother would be too careful, so she could only respond softly: "Zhen'er thanked the Queen Mother for her favor, and when she went back, she ordered someone to find a suitable house to move out." ”

Listening to Hua Zhen's expression, the Queen Mother's expression eased a little, and then looked at Hua Zhen: "You should understand that the mourning family is also for your own good, since the Shen family treats you like this, it makes no sense for you to continue to stay in the Shen family, rather than staying in the Shen family and causing those unnecessary troubles, it is better to move out of the house." When the mourning family arrives, the emperor will ask the emperor to arrange some guards for you, and there is a seal from the lord of Qinghe, and no one dares to be disrespectful to you, so it is the best for you. ”

Vera nodded.

I listened to the Queen Mother continue: "Now that your father's mourning period has not yet expired, I should pay a little attention to it, my Dayan is the one who pays the most attention to etiquette, and the emperor has just canonized you as the lord of Qinghe County, if something happens at this time, and the emperor is ashamed, then you will not lose your own face, but the face of the emperor and Dayan." At that time, even if you died, you couldn't escape the blame, you understand. ”

Zhen'er understands, and please rest assured that Zhen'er will strictly investigate her body and will never do anything that damages the face of the royal family. Hua Zhen responded respectfully when she heard this.

The Queen Mother nodded.

"The old lady of the Shen family is your grandmother after all, even if you disagree with the Shen family again, it is not a good thing to make such a fuss. If you lose the face of the Shen family, you will also hurt your reputation, and the gains outweigh the losses. As a woman, being gentle and virtuous is the only way to be virtuous, this kind of temperament is unacceptable, and you should not do this kind of thing again in the future, so that people will see it, I am afraid that it will drag down your aunt's reputation. ”

"Yes, Zhen'er must take it to heart. Hua Zhen said with a slight bow.

Looking at Hua Zhen's respectful attitude, the Queen Mother asked: "I heard that you have a good relationship with Bai Zhou, and yesterday Bai Zhou personally went to the Jin State Mansion to congratulate you, but there is such a thing." ”

Hearing the Queen Mother mention Qin Huai, Hua Zhen's nerves also tensed, and she immediately said softly: "Zhen'er and Qin Dagongzi have only met once, and there is no relationship between them, and the fact that Qin Dagongzi was able to go to the Shen family yesterday may be for the sake of his uncle's face." ”

"Really?"

"Zhen'er didn't dare to deceive the Queen Mother. ”

The Queen Mother didn't say anything when she heard this, but just looked at Hua Zhen, and then spoke: "You should be sixteen years old this year?"

"Yes, in the fifth month he will be sixteen. Hua Zhen responded respectfully.

"Even if it's sixteen, it's time to find a family. The Queen Mother's voice was so soft that people couldn't hear any emotion.
