v2 Chapter 3: Meet the Queen Mother

Time flies quickly, and half a month has passed. Under the meticulous diagnosis and treatment of the imperial physician and Nie Heng, the host of An An's body is getting better every day, and he is no different from ordinary people.

However, she didn't mean to go back. She still lives in Fuyin Mansion, watering the flowers, reading and writing every day, as if she was going to live here.

The people who served her didn’t know what she was doing, but they all knew her temper, so no one dared to ask her about her plan. Since she wants to live, everyone will stay with her. Anyway, they will serve her. Serving in Jizhou and serving in Beijing are the same.

On this day, Princess An'an was holding a small pair of scissors to trim the ruined peony flowers and withered yellow leaves. A report suddenly came from outside saying that Lu Shen would send someone to give her moon cakes.

During this period of time, the intersection between Lu Yuan and Deng An’an suddenly increased. Deng An’an had always been very taboo against Lu Yuan before, and was afraid of avoiding it, but now he has a much better attitude towards him, although it is still She would not meet him, but she would probably accept the things he sent, and occasionally she would give back some snacks and other things she made personally, which surprised Lu Yuan.

After hearing the report, An An stopped her work and asked with beautiful Mingfeng eyes: "Moon cakes? How come moon cakes are given? Is it almost Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Madam Kou smiled and said: "If you return to the princess, it will be Mid-Autumn Festival in half a month. The princess has been ill during this period, and he must have been sick and confused. I even forgot about the solar terms!"

An'an listened and smiled, and said: "Mother didn't tell me I really forgot. Time flies so fast. It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye. During Mid-Autumn Festival in previous years, I was either at home with my parents or in the palace. It’s the first time for me to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with my grandmother and empress dowager, and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival alone by myself like this!"

Mother Kou wondered what the master meant, and said with a smile: "Who said that there is only the princess, isn't there still General Lu Shen here? You are cousins, and it is reasonable to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together. "

An An smiled and said, "Brother Lu is busy with military affairs. How can I trouble him? Besides, even if he has free time, he still has to accompany his concubine confidants, how can I have time to accompany me?"

These words, without exception, reached Lu Yuan’s ears. After Lu Yuan heard them, he immediately dismissed his backyard. The beauties in his backyard were bought by him because they were somewhat similar to her. The ones who came back to relieve the boredom are fakes, and he has always been indifferent to them. Now that there are genuine products, these fakes are naturally dispensable...

On the second day, Princess An'an heard the news that Senate Lu was dismissing the backyard, and the corners of his mouth showed a somewhat successful smile.

This time Shen Ruolan's mother and daughter came to Beijing, and that person also followed, ha ha, really a seed of infatuation! Thinking of the 50th birthday of the empress dowager, he would not go back when he returned to Beijing. Now, for such a humble woman, he left Jizhou’s 300,000 army and ran back to the capital. She used her affection so deeply that she valued her mother and her mother. How can the mother tolerate her?

Based on her understanding of the empress dowager’s mother, the empress dowager would be furious about this, and the emperor would also blame him for being stunned, but after all, he is the queen’s beloved youngest son and the younger brother of the emperor’s compatriots. They will never be angry anymore. What would happen to him, so I must vent my anger with that little **** whose surname is Shen.

And if he left that little **** for his own future and allowed her to be dealt with by the queen mother and the emperor, she could be regarded as letting the queen mother and the emperor breathe out a nasty breath for herself.

If he showed his deep affection to her and disobeyed the queen mother and the emperor for her, then his current glory and identity might not be preserved.

Once you lose the status of King Zhan, you will inevitably lose the commanding power of Jizhou’s 300,000 troops. Looking at the entire Jizhou, only Lu Yuan is capable and qualified to take over him and control the 300,000 troops in the north...

If Lu Yuan had great power on the day, she would definitely be able to use his power to deal with them ruthlessly, in return for the shame of her being abandoned.

So, no matter what, she said this. Now, as long as she seizes the opportunity, she can catch Lu Yuan.

...

One day in early September, a group of convoys slowly entered the capital of Chu State from outside the city.

In the last two cars of the convoy, the family of Shen Ruolan sat.

After more than 20 days of exhaustion, their family finally arrived in the capital.

It was just because of fear and anxiety that no one in the family was in the mood to appreciate the prosperous beauty of the capital. They all sat in the car nervously, their faces tense, and guessed what might happen in the future.

Compared with them, Shen Ruolan's emotions are much more relaxed. She knows that her family will be fine if he is there. She believes him!

Because of this trust, she felt much calmer. She was not as afraid and uneasy as her father, mother, siblings and sisters. She even had the mood to lift the curtain of the car and admire the beauty of Beijing.

The capital, where the emperor lived, was as prosperous as a small place like Nong'an County, Qisong Town, and even Jizhou City was much inferior to it.

The spacious and open streets are endless, with all kinds of shops lined up, making people dizzying, and there are many shops that she has never seen before. Most of the pedestrians on the street are also dressed in style. Most of them wear silk and satin robes, which demonstrates the prosperity of the people of Chu.

In addition to the people of Chu, people from foreign countries can be seen everywhere on the street. People from Wusun, Dajin, Mengnu, Qingluo, Xianbei, seven or eight countries can be seen everywhere, and you can see the capital of Chu. Prosperous!

After entering the city, Shen Ruolan ordered the coachman to find a better inn to stop, ready to settle down first, and then wait for the empress dowager's summons at any time.

In fact, Chun Yumin originally wanted Shen Ruolan's family to live in his house, so that it would be safer and more convenient for him to take care of, but Shen Ruolan refused.

The queen mother was going to find fault, if she lived in his house in this stall, wouldn't it make the old lady even more unhappy?

At that time, it will definitely be more difficult for them, and it is them who are unlucky.

Besides, parents still don't know their relationship. If she suddenly takes them to live in the Palace of King Cham, I'm afraid they will be frightened if they are not scared to death!

Therefore, she categorically rejected his kindness and insisted on staying in an inn as a family.

The coachman stopped in front of a seemingly grand inn. Shen Ruolan's family got out of the car and moved all their luggage to the inn. The family was living in, and the **** Xia also returned to the palace to return to life.

At this time, the day was approaching evening, and they thought that the empress dowager would be summoned again tomorrow or a few days later, but they didn't realize that soon after the **** Xia left, a face-faced **** came to summon Mu Shi, saying that the empress could be summoned.

When Mohammed heard that the Queen Mother was so anxious to see her, he was both nervous and scared, and his face turned pale.

Shen Dejian and her children were not worried that she would face the old witch alone, and they would all go with her.

The **** said in a cold voice: "Why do you want to enter the queen dowager's palace? It is the Madam Yipin and the princess princess who enter the palace, and each person can only bring at most one serving girl. You still I want to go in with my family, is it qualified?"

Shen Ruolan said: "Since I can't enter the family, can I only accompany her in? My mother is timid, and if she is not accompanied by her relatives, if she loses her grace in front of the empress dowager, wouldn't it be annoying?

She had predicted that the purpose of the empress dowager’s call to see her was not to see her, but to see her. She would definitely not be rejected when she proposed to see the empress.

Sure enough, after hearing Shen Ruolan's request, the **** did not hesitate and agreed.

"Well, if your mother really provokes the queen mother's anger and hurts the phoenix body, the miscellaneous family will also be to blame. If this is the case, you can follow along."

Mu Shi felt that this trip was dangerous and refused to let Shen Ruolan follow, for fear that the Queen Mother thought she would be angry with Shen Ruolan.

However, Shen Ruolan insisted on going. In her words, if the Queen Mother really wanted to vent her anger, they would have nowhere to escape even if they hid at the ends of the world, so they might as well face it calmly.

Mu Clan thought about it, so he took Shen Ruolan anxiously and went with the **** who delivered the decree.

The **** took their wives in a palace cart and walked straight from the inn to the palace, entered through the west corner gate of the palace, and passed many majestic palaces along the way, like a fairyland garden, turning around and turning around. He walked straight to a solemn palace when his legs were weak and exhausted.

I saw that the palace was magnificent and majestic, simple and majestic. At first glance, it was inhabited by a person of age and identity. Above the main entrance of the palace, there were three characters: Shouxian Palace, the palace where the empress mother lived. .

Mu Shi couldn't help feeling tense, his body stretched tight, and a fine cold sweat oozes from his forehead.

Seeing that he was nervous, Shen Ruolan gently shook her hand and silently encouraged her. Feeling her daughter's encouragement, Mu's nervousness improved a little, but he still pressed his mouth tightly, looking frightened.

It’s no wonder that she was scared. A princess Rongjia killed her miserably. She almost killed her several times, causing her to be separated for more than ten years. Now a queen mother who is heavier than the princess wants to see her. And it can be guessed that the purpose is not good. It is good for her not to be scared to death. If she wants to keep her calm this time, it is absolutely impossible.

"You two are waiting here, the miscellaneous family will go in and report to you!" The **** who brought him and them gave an order and told them to stand at the gate of the palace and wait, and then went in to report to them.

Shaoqing, something came from inside.

"Xuan Mu's mother and daughter met—"

Shen Ruolan shook her mother's hand and carefully walked into the Shouxian Palace.

At this moment, they had no intention to look at the luxurious beauty of Shouxian Palace, thinking about responding to the blame from the empress dowager. The two walked into the main hall in a proper manner. At this time, several luxurious ladies were already sitting in the hall.

The fifty-something in the upright position, wearing a yellow phoenix robe, is naturally the Queen Mother Xiaoduan.

Under the phoenix chair of the Queen Mother Xiaoduan, Princess Rongjia and Princess Yurong sat in turn.

Shen Ruolan and Mu Family didn't dare to look more, they walked to the seat of the Queen Mother Xiaoduan, holding their breath and holding their heads, and began to pay respects.

"Men's women knock (female) to see the empress dowager, the empress dowager is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old--"

When the mother and daughter worshipped, the Queen Mother Xiaoduan, Princess Rongjia, and Princess Yurong stared at them fiercely, with hatred in their eyes! Especially Princess Rongjia, when she saw Mu's mother and daughter, her eyes were burning. If her eyes could kill, Shen Ruolan's mother and daughter must have died several times.

Shen Ruolan and her mother knelt down under her Royal Highness, and it took a long while to hear the slow voice of the queen mother and her mother, "Get up!"

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!"

Shen Ruolan and her mother got up again after thanking them for their kindness. Before they could stand firm, they heard the queen mother whisper: "Mus, I think you already know why the Aijia called you over. It just so happens that Princess Rongjia is here today, you If you are willing to enter the Grand Princess' Mansion, you can just go with her."

Such a casual tone, undisguised contempt and derogation, as if Muhammad were a low-class slave and maid whose life and death was a life-and-death life and death. Shen Ruolan was so suffocated. She glanced back at her mother and saw that she did not dare to show anger. , But her answer made Shen Ruolan very satisfied.

"If you go back to the empress dowager, the ladies are unwilling. The ladies have already married and have a child. This life's wish has been fulfilled. She has no other thoughts, and she forgot to fulfill the empress dowager."

The Queen Mother Xiaoduan sneered and said: "The Ai family heard that you were born in a scholarly family and that you have a childhood friendship with Deng Luma. Deng Luma has been estranged from Rong Jia for more than ten years. Don’t you care about your past friendship at all? The illiterate country man spends his life?"

Mu Shi said: "The empress dowager misunderstood the women. Although Deng Fuma learned from her grandfather and met the women since childhood, I have no other thoughts about him because of the friendship of brothers and sisters. "

As soon as the words fell, Princess Rongjia sneered with a sneer, yin and yang said strangely, "Mus, you dare to say such a cruel thing? Who in the capital doesn't know that you are Deng Lu on horseback and raised this princess secretly. You’ve been together for a year in the outer room, is it possible that nothing happened to you in this year?"

Although Mu Clan was very afraid of Princess Rongjia and she was afraid of her death, he still insisted stubbornly: "His Royal Highness is right. We really have never happened before. The husband was rescued and kept outside. The world thought that the civil woman was Deng's outer chamber, but the civil woman dared to swear to the heavens. During the more than a year of Deng's taking in the civil woman, the two of us have always acted in courtesy. Wait, I haven’t done anything beyond. Eleven years ago, the servants’ women explained this to His Royal Highness the princess, but her Royal Highness refused to believe in the princesses."

Princess Rongjia sneered and said: "You don't need to be sophistical. He has already admitted the sorrow. If you are really innocent, how can he admit it? And, after hearing that this princess is willing to let you into the mansion, he is already happy to find it. It's not going to the north anymore!"

Mu Shi said frankly: "The local women did not lie, yes, yes, no, no, if Deng Luma really said that there was such a thing, please ask her Royal Highness Princess to call him, we have six eyes to confront each other, believe What is right and wrong will come to the fore."

Mu Shi really wanted to confront Deng Luma to prove her innocence. When she fled and left home and was hunted by her husband, Deng Yulang rescued her and hid her in the outer house. He did think of sneaking with her. The thought of being a wild mandarin duck, but Mu Family was unwilling to be a concubine, so he did not agree.

Deng Yulang loved her so much. Seeing that she was so determined, he couldn't bear to force her. He just left her in the outer house and occasionally took time to see and talk about lovesickness!

In fact, although she has the name of Deng Luma's Outer House, she has no realness of the Outer House. Everything is just rumored.

Their relationship was explained to Princess Rongjia when she was arrested and returned to the capital eleven years ago, but her Royal Highness did not believe it.

Princess Rongjia sarcastically said, "Deng Xoma likes you so much, so he will say what you say, don’t say you deny your relationship, even if you say you are brothers and sisters, he will also say What you mean..."

"However, the civil wife really has nothing to do with the husband, and we are really innocent..." Mu Shi argued.

"What can you use to prove the innocence between you?" asked the princess Rongjia.

Mu's words are not enough, she really has no way to prove this. If she really wants to prove it, her husband can only prove that she really married him as a virgin, but even if he confirms it, Princess Rongjia and the Queen Mother How can you believe it?

Shen Ruolan looked at Princess Rongjia’s aggressive look, and couldn’t help saying: "So long ago things are naturally impossible to verify. Those who are clear will clear themselves, and those who are muddled will be turbid. Since Her Royal Highness doesn’t believe it, we have nothing to do. , It’s just that our family is doing well now, and my mother is not willing to go to your house to be a concubine. She also asked the princess to stop mentioning my mother in your house."
