Ruyan also saw Su Ranhua, glanced lightly, and shifted his gaze.
At this time, Ruyan's face had no pretense of indifference at all. She was respectful and accompanied her by her side with a peaceful smile.
Su Ranhua couldn't think too much. When the Queen Mother cast a questioning look at her, she had already bowed politely and said, "Ran Hua, see the Queen Mother!"
"Are you Su Ranhua?" The Queen Mother looked up and down at this legendary woman. Because Ximen Hao did not hold a wedding banquet for her in the palace, nor did he take her to pay homage to her elders in a proper manner. As a member of the royal family,
Even the oldest person didn't recognize her.
"Yes." Su Ranhua responded.
"The banquet for Prince Yuehua is about to begin. Why didn't you stay with the Queen to prepare?" the Queen Mother asked in a calm tone, looking at her with shrewd and kind eyes.
"Grandma, the Queen Mother, Wan'er asked the Queen Mother to keep her company." Ximen Wan took the Queen Mother's arm affectionately and said coquettishly.
"Yes, yes, the Ai family has forgotten that you and Princess Bei are old acquaintances." The Queen Mother smiled heartily, "You just stepped into Chu Min Palace that day. When you heard that something happened to her, you ran away without saying a word. What a disaster.
The croaker prepared by the Ai family for you is cold and no one eats it."
"Are Wan'er worried about the emperor's sister-in-law and the four emperor brothers?" Ximen Wan muttered softly, but a sad look appeared on his face, but it was quickly wiped away, and he forced out an awkward smile.
The Queen Mother saw the change in Wan'er's expression and said quickly, "Look, when you are older, you talk nonsense and make Wan'er think of sad things. I blame my family and blame my family!"
"No, Wan'er is thinking about Grandma the Queen Mother's croaker." Ximen Wan smiled sweetly.
Su Ranhua saw that Ximen Wan was chatting and laughing with the Queen Mother despite his grievances and had already put her aside, so he turned his attention to Ruyan again.
"Sister Ruyan is here too!" Just when Ruyan and Su Ranhua looked at each other in silence, Ximen Wan called out.
"Yes, princess." Ruyan nodded and saluted.
"Yu'er went to Wan'an Temple to invite incense for the Ai family. It happened that Ruyan came to the palace to deliver embroidery, so the Ai family asked Ruyan to accompany her." The Queen Mother smiled and said, "The Ai family likes this girl Ruyan very much and wants her to be with her.
The identity of the royal embroiderer will remain in the palace forever, but she says she cannot live without the sisters in Yujinfang and refuses to stay, she is very stubborn!"
"Please forgive me, Queen Mother!" After hearing what the Queen Mother said, Ruyan quickly bowed her head and confessed.
"That's all, that's all. The Ai family knows that you value emotions. Otherwise, if you had participated in the selection of embroiderers in the palace every year, you would have been chosen long ago, and you wouldn't have to wait until now." The Queen Mother waved her hand, "But there are ten women in Jade Brocade Square.
Even a royal embroiderer is not as good as you. So don’t worry about the palace’s embroidery being sent to Yujinfang to be done.”
"No, Queen Mother, Ruyan is very honored." Ruyan said. This is good. You don't have to stay in the palace for a long time, and you have a reason to enter the palace at any time.
Su Ranhua also understood Ruyan's true intention and remained calm. She knew that Ruyan's coming and going of the palace was definitely not just for picking up and delivering embroidery.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go to the Zhaohe Palace." The Queen Mother said, turned around and walked outside the Cuizhu Pavilion.
While Ximen Wan supported the Queen Mother, he secretly winked at Su Ranhua. Without the Queen's approval, there was only one way to win over the Queen Mother.
Su Ranhua naturally understood what Ximen Wan meant. He took a few steps forward, cleverly bypassed Ruyan, and supported the Queen Mother on her behalf.
The two people's eyes met for an instant, and they flashed across swords and flints. But after all, there was a huge difference in status. Ruyan could only swallow his anger and take half a step back, making way for Su Ranhua.
Lively days are bound to meet lively people, and on the way, they met Concubine Shu and Su Ranqing from Yunxiaoyuan.
When Su Ranqing saw Su Ranhua beside the Queen Mother, she felt like enemies meeting each other, her eyes turned red.
"The queen has a good temperament. She is accompanied by her granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law. She is really looking forward to her old age. I wonder when I will be as lucky as the queen."
After saying hello, Concubine Shu smiled, her eyes as charming as silk.
"As long as you let go of everything, you will naturally have the blessing of the Ai family." The Queen Mother said meaningfully.
"What the mother said is absolutely true, but I can't get away from worldly things." Concubine Shu sighed, "I'm afraid I won't be so lucky."
"The Queen Mother, Concubine Shu, the South Princess and the North Princess are sisters and the same noble concubines. It would be very special if they were all accompanied by the Queen Mother!" Ruyan suggested with a smile.
"This is a good suggestion." Concubine Shu agreed at first, "Wan'er, why don't you come and accompany me?"
"Okay, Concubine Shu." Ximen Wan obediently let go of the Queen Mother and walked towards Concubine Shu.
Su Ranqing, at Concubine Shu's signal, walked towards the Queen Mother with a delicate smile, and gently held her arm.
The Queen Mother just smiled faintly and walked towards the Zhaohe Hall with the support of Su Ranhua and Su Ranqing.
Su Ranqing hated Su Ranhua with all her heart, while Su Ranhua was always paying attention to Ruyan behind her. She knew that Ruyan hated their sisters terribly at this time, and it was rare for the two sisters to have a common enemy.
Su Ranhua clearly felt the murderous intent coming from behind him. It was very strong. He was really not a qualified killer. Su Ranhua shook his head secretly. The most unbearable thing was that the woman Ruyan was like a ball of loose sand when she touched Ximen Yi.
I can't help him up, let alone maintain this murderous aura.
Su Ranhua raised his lips and smiled lightly. As long as Ximen Yi is around, this enemy is not worthy of being an enemy at all.
In the Zhaohe Palace, all the ministers gathered together. The Queen and the Emperor were already seated. When they saw the Queen Mother, they all stood up and saluted, "See the Queen Mother!"
And more people focused their attention on the women on both sides of the Queen Mother. They were really young, beautiful, and dazzling people. One was as charming as a drop of gold, and the other was as elegant as a magnolia.
Seeing Su Ranhua who was attending the ceremony, Ximen Xianchu's eyes paused for a moment, while the queen held back her anger and maintained a stiff smile.
"See Concubine Shu, Concubine North, Concubine South, and Princess Wan!" A presiding eunuch followed to remind the courtiers, shouting.
"Is this the most beautiful woman in the capital, Princess Nan, the daughter of Prime Minister Su?" Prince Wushan of the Yuehua Kingdom, who was sitting next to Ximen Xianchu, followed everyone in the salute and unabashedly cast his eyes in amazement at the Queen Mother.
side.
Ximen Yi and Su Luocheng on one side smiled and nodded one after another.
At this time, Su Ranqing smiled shyly, and the priceless jewelry on her headband and exquisite makeup made her look particularly bright.
Ximen Hao glanced at Su Ranqing lightly, and then set his eyes on Su Ranhua. Only Butler Lin knew that he had personally selected her clothes, and they matched her elegant temperament very well.
It seems that there is a kind of beauty that is still unfinished.
The eyes of Su Ranhua and Ximen Hao accidentally touched each other, and she couldn't help but blink. She actually saw a hint of admiration in Ximen Hao's eyes. She suspected that she was dazzled, so she looked again and saw that Ximen Hao had already changed his gaze.
At this time, Prince Wushan had already walked towards the Queen Mother and the others, bowed with his hands on his chest, and after performing a traditional Chinese ceremony, he turned to Su Ranhua and said politely, "Your Highness Princess Nan, can you meet me?"
