After finally waiting for the saint to leave, Liu Yuniang called Qingrong to speak. Qingrong was a little worried, but still wanted to fight for it, "Xianfei, is what the saint said today a deal?"
Liu Yuniang laughed at her: "Of course, the sage has made a promise. Once he speaks, it is settled."
"But...but I'm still worried. After all, I'm new to the palace and I don't know everything. I might cause trouble for Concubine Xian."
Liu Yuniang comforted her and said: "You don't have to worry about this. You are here with me. How can anything happen if you don't leave Xianning Palace? You and I may not have seen each other for a long time, and I also want to keep you for a few more days."
"Xianfei..."
Liu Yuniang advised: "Don't worry about this. Besides, since the sage has already said it, can I still go against the sage's wishes?"
Hearing this, Qingrong also knew that this matter probably couldn't be changed. For a moment, Qingrong was a little discouraged, but she still had a smile on her face: "Then please, Concubine Xian, please inform my mother and them, so as not to worry them."
Liu Yuniang smiled: "This is natural, don't worry."
Xu Qingrong had a sensitive mind and always felt that it was inappropriate to stay in the palace. She felt that something was beyond her control... Liu Yuniang placed her in the west hall. Although the room was not complete, it was tidy.
Naturally, the matter of Qingrong staying in the palace could not be concealed, but within two days there were rumors in the palace, and the middle palace also heard about it. The queen was virtuous and treated her concubines well, and the concubine also respected her very much. The queen and the virtuous
The concubine mentioned Qingrong and said that she also wanted to see her. Since the queen was interested, Qingrong should go and say hello to her.
But on the day Liu Yuniang took her to see the queen, they heard that the queen was unwell and asked them to come back another day. Although they didn't see anyone, the queen still rewarded them with a pair of gold hairpins.
Qingrong felt more and more weird in her heart, but she didn't have a clue, so she could only wait patiently.
The next day, a female official came to the Xianning Palace. She claimed to be the female official of the Song Dynasty next to the queen. This female official was very upright and good-tempered. She always had a smile on her face and was polite to others. She
I specifically searched for Qingrong and said that an acquaintance wanted to see her in Zhengyi Hall.
An acquaintance? Qingrong knew right away that she was talking about Mrs. Wei. Qingrong briefly explained the previous events to Liu Yuniang. Liu Yuniang also called her Qiao, and even more confidently let Qingrong follow Ms. Song to the government.
Yidian.
But the Zhengyi Hall seems not to be close to the Xianning Hall. We have already gone around several verandas and palace gates, but we still haven't reached the Zhengyi Hall.
Ms. Song smiled politely and said, "Sanniang, don't be anxious. Just go forward through a corridor and you'll be there."
Qingrong smiled and said, "I'm sorry to bother Miss Song."
While the two were talking, a shoulder carriage appeared at the corner next to them. Female official Song reminded her, "Sanniang is the noble concubine's shoulder carriage."
Imperial concubine? Qingrong had never heard of this imperial concubine, but she nodded with understanding. Seeing that the female official of the Song Dynasty had a normal expression, she must not be a difficult person, right? Qingrong followed the female official of the Song Dynasty and stood by the roadside, waiting for the imperial concubine's shoulder.
As she approached, she bowed her head and saluted, and Lu Qingran followed her.
At this time, a purple curtain in front of her was raised. Qingrong raised her eyes to take a look, and couldn't help but admire, what a beautiful person!
The imperial concubine is wearing a six-piece pomegranate skirt with a slightly lighter peach blossom pattern, her head is surrounded by pearls and emeralds, and the breeze is filling her room. The dress is swaying with the wind, and there seems to be a faint fragrance floating in it, disturbing people's minds. Her face is cold and gorgeous, and it is dark.
Her long eyebrows go into her temples, her facial features are delicate and charming, and her eyes are like charming fire, just like the blazing fire in this winter.
Seeing her today, Qingrong felt that she could not find another person who could bear the beauty and fragrance of the country and be so beautiful and praised as her!
Concubine Xie's red lips parted slightly, her voice was not loud, and her tone was laziest, "Isn't this Lady Song who is next to His Highness? Why are you here?"
The female official of the Song Dynasty smiled slightly and said: "Back to the imperial concubine, I was ordered by Your Highness to take Madam Lu to the Zhengyi Palace."
"Oh?" The imperial concubine did not answer her words, but her eyes fell brightly on Qingrong beside her. Qingrong was wearing a moon-white skirt today, with only a butterfly hairpin engraved with gold and jade pieces on her head. She
His voice suddenly became louder, "Is it you?"
The imperial concubine stared at Qingrong, who hurriedly lowered his head and bowed solemnly, "Back to the imperial concubine, that's right."
"Keep your head up."
After seeing Qingrong's appearance clearly, the anger in her eyes deepened, and she immediately glanced at the maid next to her. The other party understood and stood up and shouted loudly: "How brave, why don't you kneel down and worship the noble concubine when you see her?"
Qingrong didn't know that she had to kneel down when she saw the imperial concubine. She followed the female official of the Song Dynasty. However, the imperial concubine was obviously targeting her, so I'm afraid it would be useless to defend herself. Qingrong was not angry and followed the instructions to bow to the imperial concubine, but the imperial concubine did not
He still didn't wake her up.
A look of ridicule appeared on Concubine Xie's face, and she suddenly smiled and said: "Yu Niang is really kind-hearted. She has only been promoted to the title for a short time, but she can't wait to get her sister to help her?"
Qingrong's heart sank, and she immediately noticed what she meant. But no matter what the facts were, the person who came was indeed evil! Ms. Song, who seemed to have had enough of this drama, stood up, with that dignified look on her face.
Laughing, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Highness has summoned Madam Lu. If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, please forgive us for going ahead so that Your Highness will not have to wait for a long time."
"Really?" The imperial concubine snorted and leaned back lazily. She seemed to have some scruples when it came to the queen, "What does your highness want to do with her?"
The female official of the Song Dynasty said: "It was the saint who asked Madam Lu to stay in the palace for a while. Your Highness just wants to see Madam Lu, so there is something wrong with the arrangement."
The attitude of the noble concubine Shicai and the words of the female official Song made Qingrong realize that these people probably thought that the saint was interested in her.
Sure enough, the imperial concubine became even more unhappy after hearing this and said sarcastically: "Your Highness is really considerate. Since Your Highness has already spoken, let's go and let her come and sit in my palace when she is free someday." After that,
, not bothering to look at them one more time, waved leisurely to lower the curtain, and a group of palace maids and eunuchs surrounding her started to move again.
After the group of people walked away, Qingrong was still thinking about what the imperial concubine had just said, when she heard Song Nuan say: "Sanniang, please get up quickly. Are you okay?"
Qingrong shook her head and said with a smile: "Nothing."
Seeing her getting up, Lady Song said while walking: "Sanniang, don't worry about it. This noble concubine is not usually like this. I don't know what happened today. Maybe she is worried about something."
Qingrong's mind turned quickly. If this is false, then the concubine is also an arrogant person in the palace. If this is true, then what the concubine said is also true? Is she worried that she will enter the palace? The queen is also worried about this.
Do you just want to see yourself? Qingrong didn't think about it, she just smiled and said a few words casually.
The Queen was born in the Wei family of a noble family, and now she had a son and a daughter, and the son was crowned the Crown Prince. Although the saint did not favor her, he respected her very much. No matter from any aspect, the Queen's status was unshakable.
The gate of the Zhengyi Palace was getting closer. Looking at the glazed cornices, Qingrong's heart beat. She looked at the palace carefully. This palace was much larger than the Xianning Palace. The doors, windows and beams of the palace were carved with sculptures.
Although the painting is not gorgeous, it is neat and elegant, and the cloud pattern decoration on it also looks elegant and simple.
Azhen and Songyue followed behind, both of them holding their breath and concentrating. Qingrong followed Lady Song into the Palace of Political Etiquette. Lady Song went in first, and after a while, a palace maid came to greet her. She walked to the West Pavilion and stepped on the soft lichen.
, after passing through layers of embroidered curtains, we entered the inner hall. There were four palace maids standing in the room. Through a layer of gauze curtains, we could only catch a glimpse of a woman in purple robe sitting on the imperial concubine's couch, with others beside her.
There is a lady sitting there, probably Mrs. Wei.
Before the person behind the curtain could speak, Qingrong knelt down and bowed down, "Your Majesty Lu Qingrong pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Queen, Mrs. Wei."
Mrs. Wei smiled and said, "It's like meeting someone."
"Get up." A soft and calm voice came from inside the curtain. She stood up with a solemn expression. She didn't know what to do for a moment. A shallow smile appeared on the corner of the queen's mouth, "Come forward."
Qingrong took two steps forward, and the palace maid on the side lifted the gauze curtain for her. Only then did she see the appearance of the queen. She had an oval face, slightly upturned phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, and a slightly aristocratic appearance.
She was very heroic. She leaned there casually like that, but her calm demeanor did not diminish at all. Her whole person looked dignified and noble. Even if such a person is wearing common clothes, it would be difficult for others to believe it.
She is just an ordinary person...
Queen Wei also looked at her calmly and smiled softly, "The sisters in Yu Niang's family are not very similar to Yu Niang, what do you think?"
Mrs. Wei responded and thought about it seriously: "Yes, Yu Niang is more gentle, while Sanniang is more elegant."
The queen smiled and said, "You don't need to be so reserved."
Qingrong said respectfully: "Your Highness is the mother of the world, and is admired by women all over the world. As soon as I saw her today, Qingrong's heart became more admired, but because of this, she was afraid of being disrespectful and offending Your Highness."
The queen raised her eyebrows slightly, looked down at her, and said calmly, "You are quite articulate. Do you still like the golden hairpin I gave you yesterday?"
Seeing that her expression was very relaxed, Qingrong slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward. Your Highness has given you such a generous reward. I should have kowtowed to His Highness in person."
The queen smiled and nodded, then asked: "How old are you now?"
"Back to Your Highness, my daughter will be eighteen after the new year."
The Queen looked at her thoughtfully for a few times and nodded, "I heard Madam mention that you went out of the city to recuperate in the mountains for a few years?"
"Back to Your Highness, this is indeed the case."
The queen asked calmly: "Now that you have returned to Yongcheng, what are your plans?"
Qingrong was startled. She had never thought about this. She thought for a while, "Qingrong has not left the cabinet yet, so naturally she will follow the arrangements of her parents and not dare to make decisions on her own."
Mrs. Wei saw this and joked: "Why, Ying Niang, don't you have some plans for others?"
The queen didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "How can I plan anything for her? What kind of path she wants to take should always be her own choice. Good or bad, good or bad, cannot be left to anyone else."
Qingrong Duipin noticed something about this. He smiled shyly and changed his words: "What His Highness said is absolutely true. Qingrong has learned a lesson. I am not afraid of His Highness's jokes. Qingrong is an unambitious person. He does not seek wealth and honor, only wealth."
If you can live a stable life, you can marry into an ordinary family. If God favors you in the future and you can have the opportunity to live in seclusion in the mountains, it will be even better."
