Chapter 12: Entering the Palace

The moon was half bright, and the lamp was half dim and gave birth to a little "confused" people's worries for no reason, Su Juan looked at the dark night through the window of the firewood room, and was alone.

Twenty-one years ago, the new emperor ascended the throne and drafted a girl among the officials of the court.

Today's Empress Wei and Qi Han's mother Concubine Rong Guifei, Su Juan's mother Tong is the same show girl, the three of them are good sisters who marry Jin Lan, and Su Juan's mother married Su Chengru, who was only a Taichang official at the time, after losing the election.

Su Chengru won the favor of Emperor Xian by relying on his ability to see the wind and make the rudder tend to be inflammatory, and he sat on the position of prime minister in just ten years.

Su Juan's mother has always been frail and sickly, suffering from heart disease, and often accompanied by headaches, Su Juan is very filial, and has bothered to study medical skills, looking for ways to relieve her mother's pain.

Empress Wei has been angry in her heart since Su Juan's wedding, Su Chengru is a force she has worked hard to cultivate, and she hopes that the Su family can help her son stabilize the position of the crown prince in the future, but she didn't expect it to be destroyed in one fell swoop and destroyed by Su Juan.

The heart is depressed, and in recent days, she feels headache and dizziness, Su Juan used to be her daughter-in-law, and she has loved Su Juan since she was a child, and as long as she was uncomfortable, Su Juan would enter the palace to massage her.

The imperial doctor in the palace was not satisfied with the treatment for a few days, Queen Wei was a heart disease, of course, she needed heart "medicine" to treat, Queen Wei made a decree to summon Princess Lang Su Juan into the palace.

Xiao Zhao saw that Miss looked out the window, sighed slightly, and came to Su Juan's side, "Miss, it's late at night, it's time to rest, and I will enter the palace tomorrow to see the queen." ”

Su Juan couldn't sleep, she was worried about entering the palace tomorrow, she didn't know how to face Empress Wei, her mother-in-law in her previous life, such a fantasy was in vain, what should be faced always had to be faced, and the fantasy was useless.

"Well, that's the end of it. Ming Xiaozhao blew out the candle flame, leaned sideways on the hay, and unconsciously remembered a lot of the past.

The next day, the glow of the sky broke through the clouds, sprinkling dazzling golden light.

Su Juan got up early, she was going to the palace to see the queen mother, Qi Han had already gone to the court, and Su Juan was already accustomed to his indifference.

Someone will come to pick her up in the palace when she was originally in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was very common for such a thing to enter the palace, and Queen Wei has always loved Su Juan like her own daughter.

Su Juan sat in the sedan chair sent by Empress Wei and swayed all the way in the direction of the palace.

About half an hour later, Su Juan and the maid Xiao Zhao came to the queen's bedroom Yaohua Palace.

Xiao Zhao carefully opened the sedan curtain, and Su Juan was dressed in an indigo "color" plain and elegant palace dress, elegant and clean, and a thin layer of powder was applied to cover the haggard "color" on her face.

Su Juan lowered her eyebrows and lifted her skirt, walked to the main hall with steady steps, greeted Mama Zhuang beside Empress Wei, and told Empress Wei that she was now resting in the bedroom of Yaohua Palace, and she had a headache recently, and it was inevitable that she would not be able to sleep at night.

Su Juan didn't show a little surprise, Empress Wei used to be her mother-in-law, this mother-in-law is not as demure and gentle as she looks on the outside, when Concubine Rong died of a sudden illness, Su Juan always had an intuition that this matter seemed to be related to Empress Wei.

At that time, he also used his identity as the crown princess to probe the records of the imperial doctor's room, and those records were destroyed in a fire and could not be queried.

Obviously, the rest is fake, and Empress Wei wants to give herself a heavy dismount. Mama Zhuang led the way in front, and Su Juan followed behind and came to the dormitory.

The quiet smell of incense in the dormitory spreads like water.

Mama Zhuang was the first to speak: "The queen mother has not slept soundly for a few days, and now she has just fallen asleep. ”

Su Juan's meaning couldn't be clearer, that is, let Su Juan wait, Su Juan seemed to be very respectful and said to Mama Zhuang: "Ah Juan is waiting here." ”

Su Juan gathered his expression and knelt respectfully on the futon, concentrating and calming, and the quiet scent of sandalwood made people feel that their hearts were as calm as water.

Through the curtains, Empress Wei did not sleep on the phoenix couch, looking through the tulle, the girl kneeling on the ground outside was once her chosen daughter-in-law, but unfortunately she is now Princess Lang, and she is very disappointed in Su Juan.

The prince's "sex" is too benevolent, and the biggest obstacle is the emperor's eldest son, King Lang, Qihan, and now that Su Juan is by King Lang's side, he is not a good chess piece.

About half an hour later, it was almost noon, and Empress Wei behind the curtain made a slight sound, and Su Juan straightened up.

"Mama Zhuang, what time is it?" A warm and majestic voice came from the phoenix couch.

Mama Zhuang spoke: "The queen mother is now in the middle of time. But I saw Empress Wei get up and make a rattling sound.

Through the curtain, I saw Su Juan kneeling on the ground respectfully, and said reproachfully in his voice: "Mama Zhuang, this palace didn't order you to wake up this palace when Ah Juan came. ”

Su Juan is no longer the little girl she was back then, and she can naturally see that their master and servant are singing and acting.

Su Juan respectfully bowed: "Ah Juan to the queen mother, the queen mother is a thousand years old!"

Mama Zhuang hurriedly stretched out her hand to pull the curtain, Empress Wei was about thirty years old, the palace brocade dress, wide sleeves and broad belts, skin like snow, dignified and beautiful, sitting on the wind couch, full of grace and luxury.

"Ah Juan, get up quickly, why bother to see the outside like this. ”

Su Juan raised her eyes and didn't get up, now she is already Princess Lang, not the daughter-in-law 'wife' appointed by Queen Wei, her actions at the banquet that day completely won the face of the queen's mother.

Su Juan still didn't get up from the ground, and continued to gather her eyes and said, "Queen Mother, Ah Juan is guilty!"

Empress Wei on the phoenix couch sighed softly, and now she can't save the lost face when she says this, "What can this palace blame Ah Juan? Ah Wan has had a soft spot for King Lang since he was a child, but it's a pity that the prince has a heart for Ah Juan. ”

As soon as I heard the queen mention the crown prince Qiyu, the man who was as warm as water and like his brother, the man who had always kept himself like a jewel, and the person who would be sad for several days as long as he cried.

There was a sour feeling in his heart, even if he loved him very much, he couldn't enter his heart for ten years, her love became the deepest guilt in his heart, and the person he loved the most in his heart was still Qi Han.

"Ah Juan is blessed, and he is not blessed to be favored by the prince's brother, and he has lived up to the love of the queen's mother. ”

Empress Wei solemnly rubbed her forehead, her head began to ache again, and her brows frowned.

"That's it, Ah Juan, since you can't be the daughter-in-law of this palace, let's be the daughter of this palace!"

Su Juan's expression was slightly stunned, and he reacted immediately, knelt on the ground respectfully and called: "Ah Wan Xie Queen Mother's grace!"

Su Juan raised her eyes and saw the queen pinching her forehead, "Ah Juan will massage the queen to relieve the pain of headaches." ”

Su Juan stood up calmly from the futon, and slowly walked to Empress Wei's side, the wide sleeves of her robe covered her scarred hands, and she was about to cover her smooth forehead.

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the Yaohua Palace, and for a while, Su Wan's expression was in a trance, and her whole body stood in place like a bow and arrow full of strings.

"The prince has arrived!"
