Chapter 81: Entering the palace for an audience

On the second day after getting married, it is customary to go to the palace to greet the emperor and kowtow to the queen mother for tea.

Xiao Feng was still in a coma, and Wan Jinlan could only go by himself.

I haven't slept well for two nights in a row, and I'm a little blue and black right now.

After washing, she fed Xiao Feng's breakfast first.

Since he couldn't chew, the cook in the house could only listen to the imperial doctor to make some nutritious gruel for Xiao Feng, and all the ingredients were chopped and chopped.

The imperial doctor said that the prince's body is getting thinner and thinner, and it is best to feed one or two more meals a day in the future.

Wan Jinlan was ready to enter the palace after feeding Xiao Feng, the sky was bright, and it was not early.

Mama Li said: "The princess doesn't have to worry, you can have breakfast, and the queen mother will be considerate of you if you spend some time." ”

Wan Jinlan smiled and said: "The queen mother is worried about the prince, and now she may be waiting in Ci'an Palace, and it is okay to take some snacks and use them in the carriage." ”

After entering the palace, Wan Jinlan first went to Taiji Palace to give the emperor a big gift, and then was given a seat.

Emperor Jian'an looked more than ten years older than when he was in the Lishan Palace.

"What's wrong with Brother Feng?"

Wan Jinlan replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the prince is still unconscious, and he had a fever again last night, and when he got up in the morning, he had chills again, and he lost a lot of weight. ”

Emperor Jian'an sighed, "I have ordered people to look for strange people among the people, and you have to take care of Brother Feng in the Wan family." ”

Emperor Jian'an admonished her, rewarded her with some things, and let her go to Ci'an Palace.

The Queen Mother has indeed been waiting in Ci'an Palace for a long time, and Mama Li entered the palace with Wan Jinlan, and after returning to the palace, she did not go to Taiji Palace, but went directly to Ci'an Palace.

After reporting everything in the Qi Palace, the Queen Mother nodded, "Wan is a virtuous and sensible person. ”

On the way to Ci'an Palace, Wan Jinlan met Princess Shun and the Third Princess.

Princess Shun couldn't suppress the red light on her face, Wang Minghui sneered on her lips, and there was anger in her eyes.

The atmosphere between the two of them can be seen unpleasant by anyone with a discerning eye.

Also, one is in the limelight, and the other is setting in the west.

Wan Jinlan was half a head taller than the two of them, so he waited for the two to come and salute.

"I've seen the Imperial Aunt."

She seemed to hear the sound of Wang Minghui grinding her teeth.

This royal aunt is really damn beautiful.

Princess Shun is on the same level as her, but because of her seniority, she also has to salute her.

This is full of palaces, and now there are only two people who can make her salute.

"Are you two going to Ci'an Palace?"

Princess Shun nodded and said with a smile: "Our prince and the third prince were sent to quell the rebellion, and when we got up this morning, we asked the concubine to send the child to the palace to fulfill our filial piety to the mother and concubine for the prince." ”

Wang Minghui on the side sneered silently, didn't King Shun just want to let his son invite favor in front of his father during the period when he went to counter the rebellion, he really didn't know how to calculate.

The three of them talked and walked together, Wang Minghui endured it for a long time, and finally said: "I heard that the emperor's uncle is seriously ill and can't even get off the bed, the concubine is really distressed by the imperial aunt, and she has to bear these as soon as she gets married." ”

Wan Jinlan has been based in the circle of nobles in Beijing for many years, she was the daughter of the mayor of the Zhenguo Mansion, and her aunt was a concubine in the palace, and when she went to Yangzhou after the ceremony, she took the initiative to contact Xiao Feng, the king of Qi, and sat in the position of the princess of Qi as she wished.

It can be said that Wan Jinlan has a lot of thoughts.

She was born with fine clothes, and even if she was married, she had to find a man who would allow her to remain rich and noble, without having to grovel to most people.

Xiao Feng's identity is very good, and her appearance is also very suitable for her, she used to be self-satisfied, although there are some changes now, but what does it matter? She is still the princess of Qi.

Wan Jinlan said with a smile: "I don't have to worry about the third princess about the life of this concubine." Seeing that the third princess is still looking good now, I am relieved, it seems that the third princess has not been affected by the events of the past few days, so it's okay, after all, it's useless to think too much. ”

Wang Minghui was squeezed by Princess Shun before, and now she is squeezed by Wan Jinlan, and her angry face is distorted.

"Wan Jinlan, what are you proud of, I heard that the King of Qi is going to die, you are happy to enter the mansion in advance, and you will not be able to escape the life of a widow in the future."

"Presumptuous, slap the mourner."

No one knows why the Queen Mother is not in Ci'an Palace, but at the corner of the palace road.

Wang Minghui's face changed dramatically in fright, and she hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Granddaughter-in-law lost her words, and the Queen Mother forgives her sins." ”

Princess Shun breathed a sigh of relief, glad that she was still polite to Wan Jinlan today. This Wang Minghui is a fool, as long as the Queen Mother is still there, Wan Jinlan can't be offended. In the past, Wang Minghui was also known as a talented woman in Kyoto, but now it seems that this brain is really not very smart.

"The third princess and princess Wang do not cultivate their morals, their palms and mouths are thirty, and they will return to the house to reflect, and they will not be allowed to enter the palace without a call in the future."

The Queen Mother coughed a few times, and her face flushed a little from anger.

Wan Jinlan stepped forward to hold the Queen Mother and patted her on the back, "Niangniang doesn't have to be angry, my daughter-in-law believes that Jiren has his own natural appearance, and the prince will wake up." ”

The Queen Mother's age is not much different from her grandfather's, both of them have gray temples, but her grandfather's body looks much healthier than the pampered Queen Mother because of martial arts.

Back at Ci'an Palace, Wan Jinlan kowtowed to tea, and after receiving the reward, he sat down at the left hand of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother took off the jade bracelet from her hand and patted her hand, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Wan Jinlan said with a smile: "It's not hard at all, my daughter-in-law is looking forward to the prince waking up early, as long as he can wake up, my daughter-in-law doesn't feel hard." ”

Princess Shun, who was sitting opposite, looked at the harmony of her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in front of her, and was a little envious for a while. Compared with Concubine Chen Shu's frequent ear to her, the Queen Mother's attitude towards Wan Jinlan is as close as a mother and daughter. can think of the rumored King Qi who is about to die, and Princess Shun's heart is a lot calmer.

After Princess Shun greeted the Queen Mother, she left with interest.

Seeing that the queen was tired, Wan Jinlan said: "My daughter-in-law often kneaded and loosened her body for her grandmother in the boudoir, so why not rub it for the queen mother today." ”

The queen softened, "You also worked hard yesterday, it doesn't matter if you mourn your family's body." ”

Wan Jinlan still got up and stood beside the Queen Mother, and pressed the Queen Mother's temples with moderate strength.

The Queen Mother closed her eyes, and her face became more soothing.

After a pillar of incense, the Queen Mother opened her eyes, sat up straight, heard the string song and knew the elegance, and Wan Jinlan sat back from the goodness.

"You are a dutiful one."

Wan Jinlan said with a smile: "The queen mother should take good care of herself, and when the prince wakes up and enters the palace to see the queen mother, she will be in bad spirits, and she will blame her daughter-in-law for not serving her wholeheartedly." ”

The Queen Mother beckoned, "Wan, you come." ”

Wan Jinlan didn't know what he meant, and came closer.

The Queen Mother took off a simple but delicate wooden hairpin from her head, and after Wan Jinlan squatted, she personally put it on her bun.

A grandmother standing on the side had a flash in her eyes, and then lowered her eyes with her nose and nose in her heart.

At this time, Wan Jinlan felt familiar at this time, and she didn't know if this hairpin was as different as the one her aunt once gave her.
