Chapter 68: The Queen Mother's Reward
With Huo Weilou's help, Shen Xinyue focused on the Shen family's business.
She hasn't solved the problems in the Shen family's business yet, and she is not in a hurry to let Huo Weilou give her that medicinal herb for a while.
Just when Shen Xinyue was dealing with the affairs of the Shen family, while taking care of the account books, someone suddenly came to the palace.
"Princess Regent, the slave maid is ordered by the Queen Mother to let you enter the palace."
Shen Xinyue looked at the grandmother who came over to deliver the decree was indeed the person next to the Queen Mother, and was a little curious about how the Queen Mother let herself enter the palace with such a good manner?
"Okay, Mama wait for a while, and the concubine will enter the palace with Mama later."
After Shen Xinyue asked Si Qi to freshen up herself, not long after, Shen Xinyue entered the palace with her grandmother.
In the Empress Dowager's Palace, it seems that she has been waiting for a long time.
When the Queen Mother, who was sitting on the main seat, saw Shen Xinyue, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she stepped forward with a smile.
"Yue'er is here?"
The Queen Mother got up, and Shen Xinyue knelt down in front of her.
"Xinyue sees the Queen Mother!"
The Queen Mother stretched out her hand, helped the person up, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so polite, the mourning family asked you to come over just to let you talk with the mourning family, boring in this palace, let you come over to accompany the mourning family to relieve your boredom, Yue'er won't mind, right?"
Shen Xinyue, who couldn't guess what the Queen Mother was going to do, lowered her eyes and said with a smile: "Naturally not, the Queen Mother wants Xinyue to accompany her, and Xinyue will naturally accompany you."
Even so, Shen Xinyue will inevitably think about some more things, what is the Queen Mother going to do with these actions?
"Sure enough, the mourning family said, Yue'er, this girl, deep mourning family's heart, Cui'er, what do you say?"
Cui'er smiled slightly and said, "It is a well-known thing that the Queen Mother pampered the Princess Regent, and it is enough to prove that the Princess Regent is good enough, so that the Queen Mother will be remembered, right?"
Shen Xinyue smiled on the surface, but in her heart, she couldn't figure out their purpose today.
Fortunately, after entering the palace for a long time, the Queen Mother did just keep Shen Xinyue, just to accompany her to talk, but it was a common thing, asking Shen Xinyue how she was doing in the palace, and after asking some things with Huo Weilou, she didn't ask more, Rao is Shen Xinyue couldn't figure it out for a while, what was her idea.
"You just have a good life, you kid is real, if you are really wronged, you can tell the mourning family no?"
Shen Xinyue smiled lightly, shook her head and said, "Back to the Queen Mother, Xinyue has never been wronged, and the prince is very good to Xinyue."
The Queen Mother squinted, and the deep meaning in her eyes was complex and inexplicable.
"yes, I heard that the regent asked for medicine for you?"
Shen Xinyue pursed her lips, she already had a rough idea in her heart, and she knew Huo Weilou's purpose.
"It's Xinyue's blessing, my brother suffered from a disease in his legs before, and he was still a little behind."
Shen Xinyue responded to the Queen Mother's inquiry, her eyebrows were humble and gentle, and she answered whatever the Queen Mother asked.
The Queen Mother laughed after a moment and glanced at Cui'er.
Cui'er retreated, and after a while, she was followed by a palace man with a box in his hand.
The palace man stepped forward and handed the box to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother opened the box with a smile and took out the contents of the box.
"Yue'er needs it, but this thing?"
What the Queen Mother held in her hand was the golden lotus that Shen Xinyue needed.
From the snow-capped mountains, it takes a hundred years to get a plant, which can be described as a golden flower.
There is nothing but tribute in the palace. Z.br>
Shen Xinyue lowered her eyes, her red lips pursed slightly, and she didn't know what the Queen Mother meant.
The Queen Mother put the golden lotus in the box, and the palace homeopathically placed it beside Shen Xinyue.
"Queen Mother, who are you?"
The Queen Mother took her hand and put it in her palm, and the other hand patted her on the back of her hand and said kindly, "Yue'er, since you want this medicinal material, the mourning family will be the master and reward you."
Shen Xinyue said in surprise: "Queen Mother, no merit will be punished,
Although Xinyue also wants this golden lotus very much, this thing is very valuable, and Xinyue can't afford it."
Who knows, but the Queen Mother said with a smile: "You child, what are you polite to the mourning family?"
To tell the truth, if she could, she didn't want to be polite, but at the moment, there was only this way.
"You have a deep relationship with your brother and sister, and the mourning family is very happy to see it, why don't you want the mourning family to reward you?"
Shen Xinyue wanted to say, this is a big deal.
But the Queen Mother kept asking her to accept it, and Shen Xinyue had no choice but to accept it, patiently wanting to see what the Queen Mother wanted to do.
After summoning himself into the palace for no reason, he gave him a golden lotus.
even said a bunch of high-sounding words, which made her wonder if the queen mother would be playing some conspiracy.
"That's how you behave, you child, the mourning family gave it to you, you just take it, what are you doing when you shirk it? The friendship between you and your brother is in the eyes of the mourning family, and the mourning family also knows a little about the affairs between your brother and sister, and it is too late to feel sorry for you."
Shen Xinyue just wanted to laugh, but she still laughed a little embarrassed on her face.
"Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother, if my brother's leg is healed, the Queen Mother, you are the greatest credit, Xinyue will recite the Buddha and chant for the Queen Mother every day, and pray for your longevity and health."
The Queen Mother laughed and looked at Cui'er on the side.
"Cui'er, look at Yue'er's little mouth, but she is getting better and better at talking, and the mourning family likes it very much."
Cui'er smiled on the side: "Queen Mother, you are just spoiling the princess regent, as soon as the princess comes, you are much happier than usual."
The Queen Mother covered her mouth and chuckled, and glanced at Cui'er angrily.
"What you said, Yue'er is naturally happy to come to mourn the family, isn't it?"
The smile on Shen Xinyue's face kept stopping, but she already had a look in her heart.
"The Queen Mother laughed, the Queen Mother loved Xinyue, Xinyue has always known that if it weren't for the Queen Mother, you would protect Xinyue, with the status of the Shen family, Xinyue would not be worthy of the prince, Xinyue has this number."
The Queen Mother smiled undiminishedly, and seemed to be very useful to Shen Xinyue's words.
"Well, the mourning family knows that you are a good girl, and the mourning family has also thought about it, you girl, you are not protected by the mourning family, I am afraid that you will be bullied."
The words are all about Shen Xinyue's maintenance and pampering, but Shen Xinyue's mind is tossing and turning.
began to guess what the purpose of the Queen Mother was, especially since she had been here for so long, and she had never allowed herself to go back, saying that she missed herself, who would believe it?
Anyway, she won't believe it, as for the Queen Mother herself, she wants to go.
"Queen Mother, Xinyue thought, there are still some things in the house, if there is nothing to do......
The Queen Mother took Shen Xinyue's wrist and said with a smile: "Just accompany the mourning family for a while, today, it's rare that the spirit of the mourning family is much better, I want you to stay a little longer, this old woman of the mourning family is getting older."
Shen Xinyue had nothing to say, so she could only continue to accompany her.
It's just that it didn't take long for someone from the palace to come in in a hurry, looking a little panicked.
"Empress Dowager, the queen mother is here."
Empress?
Shen Xinyue glanced at the Queen Mother, and when she saw the look in her eyes, she lowered her eyes, and after her eyes darkened for a moment, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
It seems that he is waiting for himself here.
As soon as the palace people finished reporting, at the gate of the palace, the queen's eyes were red, and she walked to the queen mother and knelt down.
"See the queen mother, and ask the queen mother to forgive the concubine's dishonorability, the concubine came today to ask for medicine."
Seeking medicine?
Shen Xinyue's eyelids jumped inexplicably, and when she looked at the queen, she didn't miss the playfulness in the queen mother's eyes.
"Queen, how can you say that you are also a queen, how can you be so embarrassed?"
While the Queen Mother reprimanded the queen, she glanced at Shen Xinyue again, Shen Xinyue smiled slightly, got up and saluted the queen.
"I've seen the queen's mother, the mother is a thousand years old
!」
Only then did the queen notice that Shen Xinyue was also there, and her originally collapsed face was slightly better, and her attitude was still cold.
"I wonder what medicine the queen came to ask for?"
Only then did the queen remember her purpose, and her eyes were slightly red.
"Queen Mother, the concubine's father suddenly fell ill with an emergency, and he needs the golden lotus in the queen mother's hand, no matter what conditions the queen mother prescribes, the concubine is willing to give it to you, just ask you to give the golden lotus to the concubine, and let the concubine save the concubine's father."
The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and said, "You came here to ask for medicine for your father?"
The queen knelt on the ground and never got up, looking a little embarrassed.
Shen Xinyue frowned, feeling that it was a bit of a coincidence.
I want to use Jin Silian, but after the Queen Mother summoned herself into the palace today, she just put Jin Silian to save her father on the front foot, as if she had calculated it.
She glanced at the Queen Mother suspiciously, but she didn't see anything, so she could only hide her thoughts like this.
The Queen Mother was a little embarrassed, and after glancing at Shen Xinyue, she said, "Queen, you are late, if you come early, the mourning family can still give you the golden lotus, but now, the golden lotus is not in the hands of the mourning family, how can you let the mourning family give it to you?"
The queen was stunned, she looked at the queen mother stupidly, she didn't know why, and she didn't know what she meant.
"What did you say, Queen Mother?"
The queen's face was extremely bad, she came to ask for medicine, she already had such an attitude, did she still embarrass herself?
"The mourning family said that the golden silk lotus is not in the hands of the mourning family, but in the hands of Yue'er, just before you come over, if you know that you use it, the mourning family will definitely give it to you first, but now, the golden silk lotus is in Yue'er's hands, how do you let the mourning family give it to you?"
The queen was stunned, she didn't expect it to be like this.
She looked at Shen Xinyue in astonishment, but Shen Xinyue was also stunned.
"Yes, the Queen Mother just gave it to me."
In this case, Shen Xinyue had no choice but to bite the bullet and admit that the golden lotus was in her hands.
At the same time, she had a bad feeling in her heart, and she always felt that there was some purpose behind the Queen Mother's words.
"Princess Regent, I wonder if you can give up the golden lotus? You can give you whatever you want, as long as you are willing to give the golden lotus to the palace and save the life of your father, you are the life-saving benefactor of the palace, I don't know what the princess means?"
Shen Xinyue frowned, and when she looked at the queen, her eyebrows were a little bad.
"I ......"
Shen Xinyue dared to say something, but the queen stood up and walked in front of Shen Xinyue.
"Will the princess regent refuse? Bengong's father is in danger, only Jin Silian can save his life, Bengong will never threaten the lives of his family, and please rest assured that the princess has promised the princess a heavy thanks, and it must be true, there is no lie."
As soon as Shen Xinyue wanted to speak, she was interrupted, and she was pressed down by the queen's series of words, which made her a little embarrassed.
She let it, her brother's leg doesn't know when it will be good, if she doesn't let it, when the queen's father has an accident, this account will be counted on her head.
"The queen's words are wrong, you use it to save your father, if Yue'er uses it to save people, they are all her relatives, after you say this, is your father's life life, and Yue'er's family is not?"
The Queen Mother snorted coldly and went back sarcastically, so that the Queen was choked and didn't know what to say.
