Chapter 198: The Cypriots
At breakfast the next day, people from Cining Palace came, and they were summoned by the Queen Mother.
Although they all said that this was an empty queen mother, but in the end, it was the elder, Ruan Yuyi still put down the jade chopsticks in her hand, and said softly, "Rong Bengong will make a little preparation, and he will come in a moment." β
The man of the palace received the letter and went back.
Speaking of which, in the last time she got along with the Queen Mother, she saw that the Queen Mother didn't like her very much, and now that she suddenly passed it, she couldn't figure out the Queen Mother's thoughts in her heart.
She took off the two hairpins, and Yi Yi went to the plain skirt.
When she arrived at Cining Palace, the Queen Mother was sitting on the edge of the couch twisting a Buddhist bead bracelet, and some refreshments and fruits were placed on the low table. Seeing the visitor, she waved her hand and beckoned Ruan Yuyi to come forward, with a rare smile.
Ruan Yuyi couldn't go forward directly, but after saluting in a proper manner, she followed the queen mother's traction and sat down on the other side of the low table.
When the queen mother gave birth to the eldest princess, she was not too young, and now she has spring and autumn, so even if her hands are well maintained, she never does rough work, and she is wrinkled like an ordinary person.
She kept rubbing Ruan Yuyi's hand, thought about it, and took off the jade bracelet on her wrist to put it on for her.
She withdrew her hand, but was caught in her fingertips, but she still didn't dodge.
She only felt that the bracelet was heavy and pressing. Regarding the Queen Mother's gesture of touching her hand, although she knew that the Queen Mother wanted to express kindness, she still felt uncomfortable.
The Queen Mother took a sip of tea before she said slowly, "You are really a good boy, it is really hard for you to manage this harem these days." The mourning family also held this phoenix seal, and they knew that it was cumbersome. Don't hide, you deserve it. β
She suppressed the discomfort in her heart and skillfully evoked a obedient smile, "The Queen Mother is serious, it's just a matter of proportion." β
The Queen Mother looked at her and nodded, her eyes full of relief.
The grandmother standing beside her smiled and said, "The old slave said that Concubine Jinniang can afford this burden, and you don't have to worry about it." β
She was a little uncomfortable holding the teacup, sipping it from time to time. But the tea only touches the lips, but not the mouth.
"Alas, pity the child of the Rong family. Fortunately, Concubine Jin is also a proper person," the Queen Mother echoed, and added, "I heard that the Emperor has recently stopped your decoction?" β
Ruan Yuyi felt that the Queen Mother was probably going to get to the point, so she put down the teacup and said, "Yes." β
"That's a good thing. You have to be born for the royal branch. β
Her eyebrows skipped a beat, but she still answered softly.
She glanced at the Queen Mother's expression and saw that the furrows on her face were stretched, and it seemed that she was just a simple instruction to the juniors. She tentatively spoke, "It's just that the sisters in the palace are thin after all, and the concubines can't persuade Your Majesty." β
The Queen Mother's fingertips on the string of hands froze for a moment, and the smile in her eyes became more real, "This is true." It's hard for you to be so generous, and you still remember so much, if you change to someone else, you can't wait to monopolize it. β
She hung her head and smiled as if shyly, her sideburns framing her cheeks, and her beautiful but clear eyes under her hair.
The Queen Mother was satisfied, and her voice was much gentler, "Therefore, the mourning family has been thinking about it for the past few days, if this is not possible, there must be a few more people in this palace." β
"It's just that the child has always held a grudge against the mourning family, and he can't listen to the words of the mourning family."
Ruan Yuyi said softly, "Niangniang just commands." "Anyway, there will be no people in this palace in the future, if you take this opportunity to please the queen mother, lest he always come to her.
"The mourning family thinks that Qi'er is good, she is pure-minded and considerate, so she can share some of it for you."
This is the purpose of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother paid attention to Ruan Yuyi's expression, wanting to see some reluctance from it, but she didn't.
"The concubine also thinks that the white girl is a good one." She followed the Queen Mother's words and went down. For her, whether it is Bai Zhiqi or Huang Zhiqi, everyone is the same, as long as she can help him get rid of her own gods.
She didn't understand that the Queen Mother wanted to stuff the girl of her mother's clan into it, and she wanted to help her sit in this position.
Listening to her words, the Queen Mother said a few hellos in a row, and her face was about to smile. With the help of Chang'an Palace, it will be much easier to save next.
"It's just that the concubine is afraid that it will be inconvenient to say it directly to His Majestyβ"
The Queen Mother's face changed.
Ruan Yuyi continued, "The concubine has a plan here......" She lowered her voice slightly and sent the words into the ears of the Queen Mother.
The more she listened, the more relaxed she became.
.
Ruan Yuyi sat at the Queen Mother's place for a short hour before she stepped out.
Outside, it is no better than in Cining Palace, and there is still snow. She gathered her cloak and took off her disguise of being calm and obedient in front of the Queen Mother. She asked Muxiang softly, "Is it really right for me to do this?" β
"Miss has her own reason." Mu Xiang just stood firmly on her side, not to mention that the emperor's family was ruthless, and it was not suitable to deliver sincerity.
She calmed down a little.
Outside the Chang'an Palace, there is a long figure standing on the piano, as if he felt the person behind him, and when he turned around, his clothes fluttered like light smoke. A smile appeared in his faint and cold eyes, "I've seen Niangniang." β
Ruan Yuyi stopped at a suitable distance and said softly, "This palace doesn't remember that I summoned you. β
Xuanrao hung her head deeper, "It's a small nuisance." β
"Come in." She stepped over the threshold, revealing a corner of her intricately decorated shoe.
In the hall, the warmth of the charcoal fire and the smell of incense spread slowly, so that the people in the middle of it couldn't help but relax. Cen Li entered and added some fruit to the plate.
Xuanrao lowered her head and said suddenly, "What happened to Niangniang?" β
"Why do you say that?" She went to pluck the candied fruit.
His voice is very clear, like a clear spring passing through a stone, and a face can easily coax people to relax their vigilance, "The little one looks at the mother's face is not good, and she seems to have something on her mind." β
Worry? What did she have on her mind?
If Bai Zhiqi's side is there, she should also feel light.
"Maybe it's a little bit of a problem," he plucked the strings and said softly, "Niangniang should use less medicine, and take care of her own body." He looked up and met Cen Li's eyes. At an angle that Ruan Yuyi couldn't see, Cen Li bowed slightly to him.
He continued, "I wonder what medicine Niangniang has been taking lately? The younger one has a senior brother, who knows a little bit of pharmacology, and wants to be able to help the mother. β
Although this reason was found, it was finally completed by the new emperor's instructions.
As for him, a senior brother who knows a little about pharmacology, he is indeed a person, and he cannot be deceived.
Although he pretended to be his daughter's family in the play, but in the end, he was a man, and the new emperor would not easily rest assured that he would enter and leave the palace.
But the new emperor took a fancy to his hands and a voice, and after he showed his loyalty, and watched him act respectfully and politely, he allowed him to enter the palace to see her.
Now he is saying this in order to help the new emperor test her and find another way to take the medicine to avoid the child.
Hearing her say this, she only thought he was kind and said, "I haven't taken medicine lately." β
