Su Ling was neatly dressed, she was a little nervous, today was the day to meet the queen.

Jiang Duanchen clenched her hand and comforted her softly: "It's okay, don't be afraid, after entering the palace, you are waiting for me in the back garden, and I will take you to see the queen in the future." ”

"Okay." Su Ling made up her mind, silently reciting the palace rules she had learned a few days ago in her heart, as well as her hobbies about the queen's mother, she must be angry and not embarrass Jiang Duanchen.

Qing'er was the first time to enter the queen, and she was also nervous, for fear that she would accidentally offend some dignitaries.

Xue Fei saw Qing'er's fear, and also reminded softly, "The young master has not stepped forward, I will always follow and protect you." ”

Afterwards, several people packed up and got into a carriage and headed to the palace.

This was the first time Su Ling had seen such a splendid palace, and she was excited and scared in her heart.

Everywhere Jiang Duanchen's carriage went, everyone groveled. Su Ling saw this scene for the first time, and was obviously a little uncomfortable.

Jiang Duanchen clenched Su Ling's hand and comforted her with his eyes. Su Ling felt the warmth of his palm and the power he transmitted, and her mood gradually calmed down.

The guards in armor on the road and the palace maids passing by are exquisite and picturesque.

Arriving at the gate of the palace, the guards guarding the gate stopped their carriage, and Jiang Duanchen took Su Ling's hand and walked out of the carriage. After the guards checked Jiang Duanchen's identity jade plate, they said respectfully, "Prime Minister Jiang, please come in." ”

Su Ling just wanted to return the gift, but was directly pulled away by Jiang Duanchen.

"Don't I have to salute them?" Su Ling asked.

Jiang Duanchen smiled dotingly, "No need, there is a distinction between respect and inferiority in the palace, if you bow your head to them, you will be considered a bully." ”

"Okay, got it."

Jiang Duanchen took Su Ling to the Imperial Garden, which was full of rare and exotic flowers like the Flower Yun Garden, and sure enough, the good things in the world could be seen in the palace.

Jiang Duanchen led Su Ling to the pavilion and picked up a plum blossom and pinned it in her hair. Taking advantage of Su Ling's snow-white skin, it looks particularly cute and smart. Jiang Duanchen gently dropped a kiss, "Wait for me to pick you up." ”

"Okay."

After Jiang Duanchen left, Su Ling looked at the huge palace and said to Qing'er: "Qing'er, do you have a special feeling here?" ”

"What does it feel?" Qing'er asked.

"It's beautiful and luxurious, but it's like a delicate birdcage that traps some people and they can't leave."

Su Ling stroked the plum blossoms in her hair, "If I had the opportunity to choose, I would never live here." ”

Qing'er also felt it, "Yes, although the wealth and power in the palace are what everyone yearns for, the price is indeed the loss of freedom, and I will not choose this path." ”

A richly dressed woman with a stunning countenance and a noble brow appeared behind them. Hearing the conversation between the two, the woman withdrew from the maid who was about to remind them and stepped forward quietly.

After Xue Fei saw the woman in the dark, his brows tightened and he watched.

"Don't you like wealth and power?" The woman asked tentatively.

When Su Ling heard that someone was coming, he quickly stood up and saluted.

After raising her eyes, after looking at the gorgeous and graceful woman in front of her, with a dignified and elegant demeanor, Su Ling guessed which woman with status in the harem should be.

So he replied respectfully: "Mrs. Hui, the little girl has lived a hard life since she was a child, and it is content to be in such a state as she is now, and I don't need or care about any more." ”

"It's a contented child." The woman nodded kindly.

The woman sat down and motioned for Su Ling to sit beside her as well.

"Can you tell me about what kind of life you like?" The woman asked softly.

Su Ling looked at the woman's kind appearance and had a good impression of her in her heart.

"Back to the woman, the life that the little girl likes is to win the heart of one person, hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son."

Su Ling thought of Jiang Duanchen's appearance, and his face flushed.

"Hold the hand of the son, grow old with the son. It's an ordinary wish, but ...... I can't even choose such a simple life. The woman's expression darkened.

Su Ling took off the plum blossom on her head and put her on the woman's bun, "Madame is so good-looking, you have to smile more." ”

The woman was amused, and no one had ever dared to speak to her like that.

Xue Fei was also taken aback.

Snow, falling suddenly.

A maid came forward with a cloak and put it on for the woman, "Niangniang, it's cold, let's go back to the palace." ”

The woman got up and asked Su Ling, "Do you want to go back to the palace with me first?" ”

Su Ling shook his head, "Thank you, madam, I want to wait for someone here, if he finds out that I am gone, he will definitely be anxious." ”

There was a look of envy in the woman's eyes, "Well, little girl, what's your name?" ”

"Su Ling."

"We'll see you soon, Su Ling."

The woman left, and Su Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

Qing'er hurriedly stepped forward, "I'm scared to death, the person who was called Niangniang just now is so majestic, aren't you afraid?" He also dared to put flowers on her head. ”

The corners of Su Ling's lips raised slightly, and she smiled slightly, "But I think she is very lonely and lonely." ”

Maybe the people in the deep palace are not as glamorous as they imagined.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier.

Jiang Duanchen was late, looking at the shivering people who were shivering under the gazebo, and stepped forward to hug her in distress.

"Ling'er, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Su Ling greedily touched the temperature in Jiang Duanchen's arms, "It's okay, it's not cold, I'll be here when it's colder than this." ”

Jiang Duanchen took Su Ling's cold hand, "Let's go, follow me to see the queen mother." ”

"Okay."

Su Ling let Jiang Duanchen lead him.

Soon they came to the door called the Fengming Palace.

Jiang Duanche swept away the snowflakes on Su Ling's head, and said softly: "Don't be afraid. ”

Su Ling took a deep breath and made a face that died before his ambition was paid.

Jiang Duanchen couldn't help but laugh.

After the maid went in to report it, they were passed in.

Su Ling walked cautiously at every step, and he didn't dare to raise his head, looking at every piece of jade brick that he walked by.

Through the afterglow, Su Ling saw that the hall was beautifully furnished, the carved railings were picturesque, and the gorgeous ornaments were all the way. After approaching the main seat, Jiang Duance took Su Ling to kneel on the ground.

"Chen'er brought her fiancée to meet the queen, the queen's mother."

"Mother, Wan'an."

A cold voice rang out in the empty hall, "Get up." ”

After Su Ling got up, he dared to raise his head to look at the main seat, only to see a woman wearing a phoenix robe, sitting on the throne.

She recognized that this was the person she had just seen in the Imperial Garden, and it turned out that she was the queen mother, Nie Yunhua.

Nie Yunhua felt Su Ling's gaze and looked at her kindly, "We're meeting again, Su Ling." ”

Jiang Duanchen noticed, "Have you two met?" ”

Nie Yunhua smiled dignifiedly, "Just now in the Imperial Garden, I saw her and thought it was very interesting, so I stepped forward and said, I like this kid very much, Chen'er, your vision is really good." ”

Su Ling heard her praise and rejoiced in her heart, "Queen Xie's praise." ”

"What does Su Ling do at home?" Nie Yunhua asked suddenly.

Su Ling didn't know whether to answer truthfully or hide something, and when she hesitated, Jiang Duanchen returned for her, "Ling'er's family makes a living selling cloth. ”

Hearing this, Nie Yunhua's eyes changed significantly, but in an instant, he returned to his kind appearance, "So that's the case, if you don't know, the mourning family still thinks that Su Ling is the daughter of the family, and her behavior is so regular and decent." ”

Su Ling was stabbed by Nie Yunhua's words, she was afraid that she would not be seen because of her family background, so she fought for herself: "Back to the queen's mother, although Su Ling is from a civilian background, she is also studying hard in order to be worthy of Duan Chen." ”

Nie Yunhua's tone was soft, "The mourning family knows that you are a smart child, you don't have to be burdened, Chen'er has been raised by me since she was a child, and you can just make this place your home when you come here." ”

Su Ling looked at her gentle appearance, not at all like what others had heard. She looked at Jiang Duanchen, and he also nodded to her at the same time.

Su Ling replied hello.

Nie Yunhua nodded with satisfaction, "Let's have a meal with the mourning family, Chen'er." ”

Jiang Duanchen agreed.
