161. Enter the palace, menacing!
Gonggong Huang showed a moment of embarrassment on his face, and he still said vaguely after a moment's struggle: "It was the poisonous bee that stung people yesterday, saying that they had found out the truth and wanted to find someone to interrogate." ”
Shen Qingluan sighed in his heart.
She suddenly remembered what Ding Lei said yesterday that the poisonous bees were related to her, and her heart was as straight as carrying a bucket of water.
Although she refuted on the spot, if Ding Lei had the heart to pour dirty water on her, she didn't even have a chance to confess.
I had to knock on the side and probe tentatively: "I didn't expect that Master Ding is not only good at teaching and educating people, but also investigating the case so quickly, and finding out the truth in just one day." ”
Gonggong Huang didn't answer, only showed an unpredictable smile, "Miss Shen will know when she enters the palace." ”
Shen Qingluan's heart suddenly drummed.
It's just that she has experienced a lot, no more than Shen Mu has been completely panicked, and she still has a smile on her face.
"Okay, then bother my father-in-law to lead the way, let's go and go back quickly, so as not to delay my father-in-law's affairs."
Gonggong Huang didn't move, "Dare to ask where the second girl of the Shen family is." ”
Shen's mother's face was even more burnt.
I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse in the palace, but I have a daughter, and I'm a confident one.
If Xinyue also goes with her, with her reckless nature, I am afraid that it will be a mistake.
She anxiously looked at Shen Qingluan, but seeing that the expression on her face had not changed at all, she only smiled and said:
"What my father-in-law said was that my mother sent someone to urge her to come over earlier. Although the girl's family loves beauty, Huang Gonggong has a lot of nobles, so it is not easy to delay. ”
Huang Gonggong hurriedly said: "It's okay, our family should wait for a while." ”
Shen Qingluan thanked him again, and ordered his subordinates to bring tea up, giving Huang Gonggong enough face.
Nowadays, many people look down on eunuchs, thinking that they are things that have been stabbed, and they don't even have a person to send them to the end, and they are inherently inferior.
But Shen Qingluan knew that these eunuchs who served in front of the nobles spent more time together day and night than ordinary couples.
As the saying goes, Hades is good at seeing little ghosts, and if you offend them, if you don't pay attention to them, you will be drugged.
But if you make good use of them, it will also be of great benefit.
Seeing that Huang Gonggong took a sip of tea, Shen Qingluan smiled and said: "This snow mountain pine fog was originally specially rewarded by His Majesty to my father, my father is used to being honest, and he refuses to drink more, but cheapens my daughter." ”
When Huang Gonggong heard this, his eyes flashed with a fine light.
Yes, although he served by the Queen Mother's side, he had also faintly heard that Shen Shu was now deeply trusted by His Majesty.
But seeing that his daughter is so delicate and has a noble temperament, it can be seen that Shen Shu is definitely not to be underestimated.
Huang Gong said fairly, and he was terrified.
Shen Qingluan covered her lips and smiled, "It should be me who is afraid, my sister is the most lively and naughty, and my father was reluctant to hold it in the past."
This kind of dog is disgusting, but I'm afraid of collision, and I have to be more forgiving by my father-in-law. ”
Huang Gonggong's heart sank.
Yes, today's Queen Mother announced, and the attitude is not clear.
If he intends to dispose of the girl of the Shen family, the Queen Mother is naturally a high authority, so won't he, who came to deliver the decree, offend the Shen family?
Although he is the person next to the Queen Mother, everyone in the palace wants to give him some face, but if Shen Shu makes trouble in front of the emperor, he will inevitably give an explanation.
Gonggong Huang put down the teacup and said quietly: "How long will the second girl be?" ”
Shen Qingluan took in his expression, his heart was slightly fixed, and the smile in his eyes was even worse:
"The second sister has always been pampered by her father, and I am afraid that it will take some time to dress up, and I ask my father-in-law to stay for a while."
Pampered? Then it can't be sent down.
On the contrary, it is this big girl who has a stable personality and speaks comfortably, thinking that she is a sensible person.
Even if he is punished by the Queen Mother, he will not be hated if he says good things.
After making up his mind, Gonggong Huang's eyebrows moved, and he suddenly stood up, "Our family should have waited for the second girl to go together, but time is tight in the palace, let's go into the palace." ”
Shen Qingluan was as good as he should be, gave Shen's mother a reassuring look, and followed Cuicui out of the house behind Huang Gonggong alone.
Along the way, Gonggong Huang and Shen Qingluan gave a lot of instructions, picked up the taboos in the palace, and went to the gate of the palace.
Once here, the carriage is not allowed to enter, and you have to walk to it.
The horizontal and deep palace walls cut the sky into small boxy pieces, and people were almost out of breath.
Shen Qingluan couldn't help but think of her previous life, when she entered the palace to meet her.
In fact, she deliberately asked Huang Gonggong about the Queen Mother's preferences, not because she didn't know anything about the Queen Mother.
It's just to open Huang Gonggong's chatbox, so that he can have more face and affection for himself, and he can say a few words at a critical time.
As for the Queen Mother's preferences, she is actually no stranger.
In her previous life, in order to let the title of Marquis of Zhenyuan fall to Jun Yuan, she deliberately curry favor with the Queen Mother.
Speaking of which, although no one knows anything that happened in her previous life except her, when you look into it carefully, she still can't help Jun Chengsong.
Huang Gonggong looked at Shen Qingluan, who had been quiet since entering the palace, strangely, thought for a moment, and whispered comfort:
"Miss Shen, you can rest assured, the Queen Mother is kind-hearted, and her ears are soft, even if she wants to be punished, she will not hurt her muscles and bones."
Shen Qingluan came back to his senses and nodded in thanks.
Huang Gonggong didn't seem to say anything today, but in fact he said everything.
The Queen Mother is indeed kind-hearted, but such a kind-hearted person must also be angry and punished, and there must be a major event that cannot be let go.
Before and after the contact, the Queen Mother's purpose was about to come out.
Obviously, it was the case of the poisonous insects in the Qionglin banquet yesterday, and the culprit was about to fall on her.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingluan's heart sank again and again.
While the two were talking, the palace gate of Cizhao Hall was clearly visible.
Gonggong Huang had already closed his voice and entered the palace without smiling, leaving Shen Qingluan alone to wait outside the palace gate.
The sun was very big outside, and there were many people in the palace who were distracted and respectful, Shen Qingluan did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and stood with a dignified posture.
His hands were folded in front of him, and he couldn't even move his fingers or knees.
After standing like this for an hour, Gonggong Huang bowed and walked out, "Miss Shen, please come in." ”
Rao has been waiting for this for a long time, and Shen Qingluan has no fatigue or depression on his face, still with a soft smile, like the first soft breeze in spring.
"Thank you, father-in-law, please lead the way."
Gonggong Huang couldn't help but nodded, and secretly said that such a woman, how could she do something like a poisonous insect to harm people.
This Ding Fuzi, the investigation is too bad to be true.
But immediately, Huang Gonggong couldn't help but worry again.
Although Master Ding's case is unreliable, he is a distant relative of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother must not have refuted Master Ding's face for Miss Shen.
After thinking about it, before he could come up with a famous hall, the main hall of the Cizhao Hall arrived.
"I've seen the Queen Mother, the Imperial Concubine Niangniang, and the girl from Lord Shen's mansion is here."
Shen Qingluan lowered his eyebrows and knelt down to salute and kowtowed deeply.
"Shen's Qingluan, meet the Queen Mother, the noble concubine, may the Queen Mother be blessed with good fortune, and the sun and the moon will be bright.
The concubine Niangniang's blessing and wisdom are doubled, and the phoenix is rising to the sun. ”
In the hall, no one spoke for a long time.
Shen Qingluan almost thought that this was just a cramped nightmare, if he looked up, it might be an empty hall with no figures.
"Raise your head and let the mourners see."
A slightly old voice sounded, Shen Qingluan's scalp tightened, and the secret path finally came.
Then he slowly raised his head, revealing a face like a flower, and the eyebrows were luxurious, like a pearl.
At this moment, the clothes and sideburns all over the room seemed to have lost their color and style.
The Queen Mother seemed to be speechless for a moment, and only said after a while: "It's a good-looking child." ”
Wan Guifei, who was sitting next to her, suddenly felt sour in her heart.
There are two things that can make a woman jealous.
One is a magnificent man, and the other is naturally a beautiful appearance.
In the past, Concubine Wan thought that these two things were all beautiful, but now......
She clenched her fists imperceptibly, and for a moment she actually wanted to scratch Shen Qingluan's white and tender face.
But she endured it in the end.
Today, it is necessary to settle the accounts clearly, and there will be no need to be in a hurry.
Taking a deep breath, Concubine Wan Guifei pulled out a polite smile, and spoke after the Queen Mother spoke:
"Yes, Miss Shen is gentle and dignified, and she can't see that she is a ruthless person."
Shen Qingluan smiled slowly.
On the way here, although Huang Gonggong was vague, it was enough for her to guess the ins and outs.
What's more, now Wan Guifei's groundless accusations can almost be regarded as explicit.
If she slandered herself like this by Concubine Wan, she would definitely have no return when she entered the palace today.
But in front of the Queen Mother's seat, the Queen Mother didn't speak, and she was a courtier who definitely couldn't tell by herself.
This experience is exactly the same as that day when the emperor could only be forced to bear the slander of Wan Guifei in front of the emperor!
Her heart was like a numbness, and she remembered Jun Chengsong's words again.
There are some things that she can't really avoid if she wants to be detached from the outside.
Sometimes, no, perhaps most of the time, it has to be the powerful that can defend dignity.
The atmosphere froze, and she glanced invisibly at Huang Gonggong.
Huang Gonggong thought of the heavy purse, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile:
"The Queen Mother's eyes are sharp, why don't you take a closer look at Miss Shen and Lord Shen?"
These words really made the Queen Mother's eyes condense slightly, "It's okay to be on the side, but the eyes are somewhat similar to Shen Shu."
It's just that Shen Shu speaks with a glance on weekdays, and you are a person who can do splendid articles. ”
These words are asking Shen Qingluan.
Shen Qingluan was relieved, and hurriedly kowtowed and replied: "The Queen Mother is a wise man, my father often educates his courtiers and seeks his position in his position.
As a courtier, he should give advice to His Majesty and seek benefits for the community. As an ordinary woman, the courtiers don't have to care about the major affairs of the court, they just hope that Your Majesty is healthy and happy. ”
The Queen Mother's eyes showed a faint appreciation.
"He's a man who knows how to measure."
However, this truth made her think more.
In his position, the duty of the courtiers is to offer advice to the court, and the courtiers only need to make the emperor feel good.
And what about concubines?
Her slightly cloudy eyes glanced at Wan Guifei, and the tails of her eyes sank.
