"The courtier Lingqing greets the queen."

"Didn't I tell you to call the imperial aunt of the palace, what are you doing so unfamiliarly, come over and let the palace take a look, it's only been a few days out of the palace, why have you lost so much weight?"

In the past, the attitude of the queen and Hua Rong when they met was neither salty nor light, but today is different from before, very eager.

Hua Rong walked over obediently and said softly: "Aunt Xie is concerned, something has indeed happened in the past few days when Lingqing left the palace, maybe it is because of this that he lost weight." ”

Hua Rong didn't say anything clearly, the queen showed a distressed look, and her eyes swept towards Yueqing and Yuebai: "Why didn't the county lord tell the palace earlier when something happened, that's how you serve the county lord?" ”

Yueqing hurriedly knelt down and admitted her mistake, and Yuebai took the opportunity to defend herself: "As soon as the slave maid left the palace, she didn't know why she offended the county lord, and she was locked up in the firewood room by the county lord for a few days, and she didn't know what was going on outside, so she begged the queen to forgive her sins!" ”

The queen didn't recognize Yuebai, but after all, Yuebai was the person sent by the Internal Affairs Office to take care of Huarong, representing the queen's aunt's love for Huarong.

Yuebai turned a corner, the queen's eyes looked at Hua Rong with two more points of inquiry, Hua Rong did not panic, and said softly: "The person who the imperial aunt sent to Lingqing, Lingqing is very cherished, and Lingqing has just left the palace to set up her own door, it is the time when you need to employ people, if it is not a last resort, Lingqing does not want to lock her up." ”

Hua Rong was not in a hurry to say what happened, and first told her own difficulties.

Yuebai preemptively said: "The queen mother Mingjian, the county lord just left the palace and wandered around all day, and brought a group of little beggars home, the slave felt that this was a little inappropriate, so he persuaded the county lord a few words, if the county lord is dissatisfied with the slave and maid because of this, then the slave and maid are really wronged!" ”

Yuebai cried aggrievedly as she spoke.

It seems that she is a faithful maid who protects the Lord, and Hua Rong is a stupid master who does not distinguish between black and white.

The queen and Hua Rong didn't have much contact, and subconsciously felt that Hua Rong could do such a childish thing, but she was not angry, and said gently: "This palace knows that you are kind-hearted, and you have a bad life before, so you can't see others suffering. ”

"The emperor's aunt is benevolent, which is really a blessing to the people, but those are not beggars, they are the nursing homes that Lingqing bought from the hands of human teeth."

Hua Rong praised the queen first, and then told the truth.

The queen's expression was sluggish, and then she said: "This palace has already told Your Majesty yesterday that it is not safe for you to live outside alone, let him send some Praetorian Guards to protect outside, you kid is too anxious, how can those slaves in the hands of Renyazi be as reliable as the Praetorian Guard?" ”

The queen's tone was full of resentment, as if she felt that Hua Rong was too anxious and had no foresight.

Hua Rong's eyebrows drooped slightly, and she said softly: "Lingqing has no one to teach her when she is a child, and the imperial aunt has been very busy recently, and Lingqing doesn't dare to bother the imperial aunt with such a trivial matter, so the maid and Lingqing talk back, and Lingqing doesn't dare to do anything to her, but only dares to lock her up for a few days as a punishment." ”

Hua Rong turned the topic back to Yuebai.

The queen didn't think about arranging guards to protect Huarong before, Huarong bought a few slaves to go back, Yuebai not only looked down on it, but also brought a complaint to the queen, if this is publicized, who doesn't know that the queen is doing superficial work to treat Huarong harshly?

The queen immediately figured out the pros and cons, sank her face, and ordered in a cold voice: "Come on, drag this disrespectful master and nonsense down and slap her mouth!" ”

The queen did not blame Hua Rong, but wanted to punish Yuebai, which was completely different from the meaning conveyed by the officials of the Internal Affairs Office, Yuebai finally panicked now, crying and begging: "County master, the slave knows that she is wrong, please forgive the county lord!" ”

Hua Rong listened quietly and ignored it.

She gave Yuebai a chance, but Yuebai didn't want it herself.

Yuebai was beaten for a while and then lost her voice, and the queen retreated from the others, leaving only Hua Rong to speak.

"I heard that the Wei family gave a dowry yesterday, do you like it?"

This is the real purpose of the queen to summon Huarong into the palace today.

"I like it."

Hua Rong showed shyness, took out the gift slip from her sleeve and handed it to the queen: "Lingqing's parents have long passed away, and the imperial aunt and uncle have to help check the marriage." ”

The queen unfolded the gift list and was surprised by what the Wei family had prepared for Huarong.

The dowry of the Wei family is so heavy, it is almost better than the dowry of the queen when she entered the palace!

Hua Rong took in the queen's expression, and Hua Rong continued: "Lingqing thought that if he had such a past, he could no longer be treated well, but he didn't expect that the prince of Jingyang Hou cherished Lingqing so much, and Aunt Wei was also very good to Lingqing. ”

Wei Yingchen and Ruan's family were indeed very protective of Huarong before, but there were so many rumors about Huarong before, after Huarong returned to Beijing, she was locked up in Dali Temple and didn't see the Wei family care about her, the queen thought that the Wei family had already stopped thinking about Huarong, but she didn't expect Wei Yingchen to suddenly hire Huarong, and she still made such a big move.

The queen quickly had a measure, closed the gift list, and said earnestly: "Lingqing, people's hearts are fickle, all families are face-saving, although no one talks about your past now, it doesn't mean that everyone has forgotten, do you really think that the Wei family will always be as good to you as you are now?" ”

Although the queen's tone was very gentle, the eyes that looked at Hua Rong were very serious.

It's more like asking Hua Rong: Do you think you deserve to be so cherished?

Hua Rong blinked her eyes, pretended not to understand, and said innocently: "Brother Wei said that he was sincere to me, I believe him, after all, the family property left by my father was also donated by me, if Brother Wei lied to me, what can I get from me?" ”

Wei Yingchen can't get anything from Huarong, but Huarong is now on her own, if Wei Yingchen marries Huarong, the Wei family's family business will have nothing to do with the royal family.

The crown prince is imprisoned, and the eldest grandson of the emperor, who has just become the new prince, is still young, what if the Wei family is not loyal enough to the eldest grandson?

The queen continued to persuade: "You and Wei Yingchen have had a marriage contract since childhood, and the Wei family will insist on fulfilling the marriage contract in order to have a good reputation, and when you become married, you can only let them handle it." ”

Hua Rong pursed her lips thoughtfully.

Seeing that she was shaken, the queen took the opportunity to say: "There are still many good sons and daughters in Hanjing, this palace and Your Majesty will help you pay attention, the most important thing for you now is to do a good job of opening the door and establishing the mansion, and your imperial grandmother has been in very bad health recently, and it is inevitable that you will feel unfilial when you are in a hurry to marry at this time." ”

The queen directly used filial piety to emboss Hua Rong, obviously not wanting Hua Rong to marry Wei Yingchen.

Hua Rong looked at the queen with clear eyes, and asked softly: "So the imperial aunt means to let me withdraw from this marriage?" ”
