Chapter 106: The Empress Summons
Shen Jiayin didn't know how she got back to the side hall, she only knew that she had stood at the gate of Kunning Palace for three hours.
Her legs had long since lost sensation, and they felt swollen and numb, as if they were no longer her own feet.
Seeing that Yan Hong had already fallen asleep on the soft couch, Shen Jiayin sighed deeply.
I knew that it would be a good thing for the queen to let her enter the palace, but I didn't expect to be punished as soon as she came.
I just don't know what awaits me tomorrow?
Thinking of this, Shen Jiayin couldn't take care of her feet, and hurriedly closed her eyes and rested.
If you don't have enough spirit, you will definitely lose half of tomorrow's battle.
The next morning, when the sky was slightly bright, there was a sudden knock on the door of the side hall.
Yan Hong woke up early in the morning, she stayed in the hall just to wait for her master to wake up, and after hearing the knock on the door outside, she hurriedly ran over to open the door.
After the door opened, a palace maid wearing a light pink palace dress appeared in front of Yan Hong.
"Aunt Xi Qiu is good."
Yan Hong respectfully saluted the palace maid.
This palace maid is Xi Qiu, the close palace maid next to the queen, I saw her glancing at Yan Hong arrogantly, and then looked up again before she spoke:
"Hasn't the crown princess woken up yet?"
Xi Qiu's words were obviously full of displeasure.
Yan Hong naturally heard Xi Qiu's dissatisfaction, so she hurriedly explained:
"Back to my aunt, the crown princess slept late last night, so she hasn't woken up yet."
Xi Qiu snorted, obviously not listening to Yan Hong's words, and only said lightly:
"The master of this Kunning Palace is the queen mother, not your crown princess, even the queen didn't sleep so late, but the crown princess slept until three o'clock in the sun, is this like words?"
Then he commanded impatiently:
"Wake up your master quickly, otherwise you will be blamed by the queen mother, don't say that we didn't remind you."
"Aunt Xie Xiqiu reminded."
Yan Hong hurriedly thanked her.
Xi Qiu glanced at Yan Hong, then turned to leave.
Yan Hong lowered her head and waited for Xi Qiu to leave, then immediately closed the door and walked towards the inner hall.
After entering the inner hall, she saw that Shen Jiayin had already sat up, and she sat on the bed, not knowing what she was thinking.
"The crown princess?" Yan Hong walked into the bedside suspiciously.
"Aunt Xiqiu just came, I want you to get up earlier, princess. The slave maid felt that it might be the queen's mother who was about to get up. ”
Yan Hong said while helping Shen Jiayin up.
When Shen Jiayin heard this, he shook his head and said:
"It's just a day, the emperor has just gone to the court, and the emperor didn't rest in Kunning Palace last night, so the queen shouldn't have gotten up so early."
"We didn't come back until the hour last night, and now we were woken up at the end of the day, and we were intentionally at the right time."
As she spoke, Shen Jiayin reached out and pinched her legs, and until now, her legs are still aching.
"Princess, when you wash up, the slave will help you pinch your legs."
Yan Hong looked at Shen Jiayin's leg distressedly and said.
After a simple washing, the door of the side hall was directly opened.
The two palace maids came in with the food one after the other, put it on the table, and then withdrew.
Yan Hong saw that they didn't even say hello, and she was angry in her heart.
Her own master is also a crown princess, even if her status is not as high as that of the queen, it is higher than that of those minions.
"Forget it, don't worry about them."
Shen Jiayin took Yanhong's hand and said with relief:
"The people in this palace are all human spirits, and they are all high and low, so they don't have the same knowledge as them."
Yan Hong's eyes were slightly red, but she didn't expect that she didn't have a master to see it.
Quietly wiping away a handful of tears, Yan Hong helped Shen Jiayin outside to eat.
After all, it is a meal in the palace, although it is only a simple three-course meal, but it is also exquisite and delicious.
By the time Shen Jiayin had just finished eating, it was only half an hour before and after, and the door of the side hall was pushed open by Xi Qiu.
Seeing this, Shen Jiayin also sank her face, put down the chopsticks in her hand, and looked at Xi Qiu at the door faintly and asked coldly:
"This door is so ignorant, it actually stopped Aunt Xi Qiu, it should be demolished."
"Did you say? Aunt Xi Qiu? ”
The woman's eyes were sharp, and the coercion on her body was no less than that of the queen's mother.
Xi Qiu was shocked, but after thinking about it, he was not so nervous again.
She walked in directly with her feet raised, and saluted Shen Jia Yinfu and said:
"The slave has seen the crown princess."
Shen Jiayin didn't speak, her eyes stared at Xi Qiu, she just asked, but Xi Qiu hadn't answered yet.
But Xi Qiu seemed to have nothing to do, and after she finished speaking, she stood up straight, and Shen Jiayin's eyes made her feel a little pressure, so she kept her head down.
"Crown Princess, the queen wants to see you."
After speaking, Xi Qiu made a gesture of invitation and continued:
"Please also ask the princess to go with the slave and maid."
Shen Jiayin sat in her position, not moving.
After a while, Xi Qiu saw that Shen Jiayin did not move, so he raised his head with some confusion and continued:
"Please also ask the princess to go over with the slave maid."
Seeing this, Shen Jiayin stood up slowly and replied lightly:
"Lead the way."
The coming days are long, and she doesn't have to rush to clean up these unsightly things for a while.
Seeing that Shen Jiayin finally moved, Xi Qiu quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, if she didn't invite someone over, the queen would be to blame, but she would be herself.
The main hall of the queen mother is not far from the side hall, but Xi Qiu walked in front of him in a hurry, for fear that he would be late.
Shen Jiayin was puzzled, but also quickened her pace and kept up with Xi Qiu.
"Niangniang, the crown princess is here."
Outside the side hall, Xi Qiu stood at the door and bent down and said.
After a long time, a voice came from inside:
"Mother, let you in."
Hearing this, Xi Qiu glanced back at Shen Jiayin, and then walked in with his feet raised.
After walking into the house, Xi Qiu's pace slowed down, walked aside, and gave the middle to Shen Jiayin.
When they came to the queen, several people lowered their eyes and said:
"The slave has seen the mother."
"The concubine sees the mother."
At this time, the queen's mother had just combed her hair in a bun, and the maid who helped the queen comb her hair was standing with her head down.
The queen looked at herself in the mirror and asked faintly:
"Crown Princess, look, how is the bun in this palace today?"
At this moment, Shen Jiayin was still hunched and lowered her head, and after hearing the queen's question, she slowly raised her head.
After seeing the queen's bun clearly, Shen Jiayin hurriedly lowered her head and replied:
"Niangniang combs her high-spine bun today, and the concubine thinks it is very good-looking, which is very suitable for the queen."
It doesn't matter if it's good or not, it's right to praise it.
But the queen didn't appreciate it, she had a cold face, looked at Shen Jiayin who was bowing her head through the mirror, and asked in a cold voice:
"You mean, Hongu doesn't look good when she combs other buns?"
