Qingqing looked around, approached Xue Hao and said, "Niangniang, the pavilion master asked me to tell you that when the palace asked you where you have been in the past few months, you said that you were swept into the mountains by a tornado on the wedding day and lost your way. After a few months in the mountains, he was rescued by our cabinet master. ”

Xue Hao was a little puzzled: the ancients actually knew the word "tornado"? She pretended to be aware and asked, "Qingqing, have you ever seen a tornado?" Qingqing shook her head and replied, "I haven't seen it, it's the pavilion master who said so." ”

"And have you heard of tornadoes before?" "Never!" Qingqing replied very simply. Could it be that this pavilion master has also traveled from modern times? That's a lot of fun.

Afraid that Qingqing would be suspicious, Xue Hao didn't dare to ask anything more. The carriage was quiet, and Xue Hao understood that there would be a tough battle to fight after entering the palace, so he closed his eyes and recuperated. Qingqing didn't dare to disturb her, and guarded vigilantly.

The carriage stopped, and the coachman said outside, "The palace has arrived, please get out of the carriage." Qingqing helped Xue Hao to get out of the carriage, only to see that the palace was extraordinary, and the yellow glazed tiles looked golden and brilliant in the sunlight.

At the gate of the palace stood heavily armed guards, and one of the guards came up and asked, "What are you doing here?" Don't linger at the gate of the palace, get out of here! The coachman did not panic, stepped forward and saluted, "My lord, we are sending Concubine Xue back to the palace." This is the token, please take a look. ”

The guard had already received the order, but he did not dare to relax his vigilance at all, he stared at Xue Hao for a long time, and saw that she was wearing a light veil, although she could not see her appearance clearly, but her temperament was still there, and he carefully checked the token before bowing and saying, "Meet Niangniang." "Excuse me." Xue Hao didn't embarrass them, after all, that was their duty.

There were already palace maids waiting in the palace gate, and when they saw Xue Hao coming, they saluted and said: "Concubine Xue, please come with us, the Queen Mother summons the concubines of each palace in Qiankun Palace." ”

It seems that the intelligence network of the royal palace is working quite well! Xue Hao was secretly speechless, and she also reminded herself in her heart that she must be cautious, otherwise she would be doomed if she was not careful. Before traveling to the modern era, Xue Hao came to the palace several times, but he only passed by in a hurry, leaving little impression.

She was originally a road idiot, the palace is so big, no one leads the way, she will definitely get lost. Xue Hao and Qingqing followed the palace maid who led the way, turning around several gardens, and finally stopped in front of the "Qiankun Palace". The palace maid reported: "Concubine Xue has arrived." ”

A grandmother came out of it and said, "Xue Fei Niangniang, please!" "Xue Hao knew that the Queen Mother didn't want to see Ling Han, so she must not have a good face for herself, could it be that she saluted first and then soldiered? She was secretly wary and walked into the palace gate.

On a large chair in the middle, there was an old lady wearing a phoenix crown and a kind face, she was smiling and chatting with the gorgeously dressed concubines sitting below, a harmonious picture. But Xue Hao knew the twists and turns in the palace, so he stepped forward and saluted: "Xue Hao greets the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother glanced down and said lightly: "Get up, sit down." Xue Hao thanked him, and when he saw that there was only one empty seat left, he simply stood still. The Queen Mother asked coldly, "Why is Concubine Xue still standing?" ”

Xue Hao said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Queen Mother, in terms of status, I am a Xue Concubine, how can I sit at the bottom?" Isn't that disrespectful to the king and the queen mother? The Queen Mother was a little stunned, she wanted to give Concubine Xue a dismount, but she didn't expect her mouth to be so powerful.

The Queen Mother pretended to scold: "A slave who doesn't understand the rules, come here!" Drag it out and beat it with a cane thirty! The palace maid shouted: "The queen mother spares her life!" It's the minions who are wrong! A few guards walked in, dragged the maid out, and walked out.

Xue Hao straightened her back, looked indifferently, and didn't make a sound. Another palace maid took a chair, put it under the queen mother's head, and said respectfully: "Concubine Xue, please sit!" "Empress Dowager Xie." Xue Hao sat down, did not squint, and waited for the Queen Mother to ask.

The Queen Mother tugged at the corners of her mouth, barely smiled, and asked pretending to be concerned: "Concubine Xue, you have been missing for a few months, where have you gone?" The concubine next to her suddenly showed a look of disdain.

Xue Hao pretended to be sad and said: "On the day of the wedding, the concubine was blown into the mountains by a strong wind and got lost in the mountains. Later, it was the Pavilion Master of the Star Pavilion who saved me. "Later, I wiped my tears, which was really pitiful.
