Chapter 141 The Empress Dowager Summoned
Ci'an Palace.
The Empress Dowager got up early today, waiting for the ladies to come and pay their
respects. She held a string of red sandalwood Buddhist beads in her hand and smiled, "Has the fifth daughter of the Marquis of Jinyang come yet? Let her come to see me first." The Empress Dowager wore a court robe with a dragon pattern of longevity and good fortune, a gold ribbon with coral, and a pair of gold dragon earrings, which made her look extremely noble.
"I hear Min'er and the Emperor talking about the fifth daughter of the Marquis of Jinyang every day, but I have never seen her once! I wonder what the first female official of Daxia looks like?"
Emperor Deyuan suddenly became a little nervous: "Mother, it's New Year's Day, why do you want to see her? We'll see each other again soon after the New Year."
The main reason is that the little cutie is a little special. I can bend and stretch, but I'm afraid that the Queen Mother has a strong temper and is stubborn and can't react. She died at the age of 68.
Besides, my mother is old, I am afraid she can't stand such a big stimulation.
The princess glanced at the emperor and understood his worries in an instant: "Mother, I won't see her today. There are too many people today. After the New Year, Min'er will bring her here in person so that you can see her alone."
Only by seeing her alone can you leave a clear name in the world!
The empress dowager looked up at the emperor and the princess: "Why are you two talking nonsense? What can't you say directly?"
Emperor Deyuan: "..."
It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but he can't say it. He just talks like a fool when he opens his mouth, which damages the dignity of the royal family.
The Hanyu Armor nodded on Tan Taimin's head, "Didn't you dislike her before, and you even said you would let your brother..."
The eldest princess was so scared that she almost jumped up: "No, Min'er doesn't dislike her, Min'er has a very good relationship with her now! Min'er often sends people to the Hanlin Academy to pick her up to play at home!"
Mother, don't talk nonsense!
This palace and the Light of Great Xia are close friends! !
The empress dowager turned to look at the emperor, and seeing that the emperor was silent, the empress dowager showed surprise, "What kind of treasure is the fifth lady of the Jinyang Marquis's family? I can't even see her?!"
The eldest princess laughed and said, "How can she be a treasure?"
But she is just the Light of Great Xia.
"There are so many ladies here today, my brother is afraid that mother is tired." The Queen
Mother: "Mother is not tired, let the Queen, Concubine Xian and others come over later, and have a chat and have some fun."
Concubine Xian said that the third prince was in a slump after returning from Qingxu Temple last time, and it was stimulated by the fifth lady.
The fact that Cheng Engong broke his leg is probably related to the fifth lady.
I want to see if the fifth lady of the Marquis of Jinyang is really a supernatural being? !
Emperor Deyuan: "Cao Degui, go and bring Yuanwailang Jian to Ci'an Palace!"
Come on, come on, we'll see each other sooner or later.
My mother should be as responsive as the court officials.
~
Jian Ruonan was originally queuing at the gate of the palace in her official uniform, and Cao Degui appeared in front of her with a sedan chair.
"Lord Jian, the Empress Dowager summoned you."
Cao Degui smiled carefully, had someone put the sedan chair on the ground, and personally helped Jian Ruonan get on the sedan chair.
Jian Ruonan got up early and was a little drowsy. The sedan chair was shaking, and she felt drowsy.
She covered her mouth and blew a breath, turned on the strong melon button, and usually turned off the "block melon owner" button, and only turned it on when eating the cheating melon.
Eat a few bites of melon to wake up and see what kind of melons are in the palace?
[See what the old Empress Dowager will do when she sees me? ]
Cao Degui almost fell flat on his face!
This ancestor, he never stops for a moment.
[Are you going to arrange a marriage for me? ! ! ! I can't bear the hardship of getting married! ! ! ! 】
Eunuch Cao raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Don't worry, I was going to give you a marriage, but after you've been there, I won't do that.
Jian Ruonan was searching in the melon field, and the sedan chair had already stopped at the gate of Ci'an Palace.
"Sir Jian, please go slowly." After the sedan chair stopped, Cao Degui carefully helped Jian Ruonan's hand to get off the sedan chair, "The Queen Mother believes in Buddhism and is the most compassionate. I heard that Sir Jian is smart and clever, and she wants to meet the first female official of Daxia. Sir Jian doesn't need to be too nervous."
Jian Ruonan said humbly, "Sorry to trouble Eunuch Cao!"
As he said that, he took the initiative to hand over a red seal.
Min prepared several Fenghong for her. Prince Yan was a little devil, and if he didn't send these palace maids and eunuchs away, he would be bullied and suffer in silence.
Cao Degui dared not to accept it, and the two refused. Cao Degui was determined not to accept it, so Jian Ruonan had to take the Fenghong.
At the gate of Ci'an Palace, in addition to Jian Ruonan, there were several ladies waiting for the palace maids to call.
Cao Degui called a little palace maid: "Go and tell them that the fifth lady of Jinyang Marquis's family is here! Run quickly!"
The little palace maid ran in hurriedly.
After a long time, no one came out.
Cao Degui understood that this was a common tactic used in the palace, that is, to deliberately leave people out.
Especially for those who are arrogant and spoiled, let them stand outside, blow the cold wind, and suppress their madness.
Hey, how can the Queen Mother be so confused!
Eunuch Cao was so anxious that he was sweating all over his head. This is not some wild flower and butterfly, this is the ancestor!
He immediately sent the eunuch beside him: "Go, call out Aunt Yishuang."
Aunt Yishuang is a female official in Ci'an Palace and is the most favored by the Queen Mother. Letting Aunt Yishuang lead people in also shows that the Queen Mother attaches great importance to Jian Ruonan.
Aunt Yishuang came out quickly, and the ladies waiting at the gate of the palace saw her, greeted her warmly, and handed over a red envelope.
Jian Ruonan also followed the crowd and gave one, and Aunt Yishuang accepted it with a smile.
Seeing Cao Degui, Aunt Yishuang smiled and said, "Manager Cao, why are you so free today?"
Cao Degui pulled him aside and whispered, "What's the matter? It's so cold outside, why don't you take him in?"
Aunt Yishuang whispered back, "The Queen Mother wants at least one stick of incense to test his character."
Cao Degui said anxiously, "What character do you want to test? Hurry up and take him in. Serve him well. Don't be negligent!"
Aunt Yishuang turned her head and glanced at Jian Ruonan, a little girl in her early teens, weak and honest, nothing special except for her good-looking eyebrows and eyes. Why is Manager Cao so anxious?
Aunt Yishuang was about to speak again, when suddenly, a voice came -
[Hey, this is the object of Eunuch Cao's affair! ]
[Hehe, Eunuch Cao is so lucky! No wonder he personally sent me here, it turns out that he was having a love affair during work hours! ]
Aunt Yishuang's brows slowly wrinkled up, what's wrong with this little girl?
She didn't even open her mouth to speak, but she was so outspoken.
"Beep -" (save for surprise)
No wonder Manager Cao was so nervous, it turned out that this fifth lady had some special skills.
So what if she has special skills? When she comes to the Queen Mother, she still has to wait!
[I wonder if I can see the other two lovers of Eunuch Cao later? Hehe~~]
She was looking forward to it.
Eunuch Cao: "..."
Lord Jian, I love you so much, why are you like this? !
Eunuch Cao was thinking about how to explain to Aunt Yi Shuang, and she heard again in her heart——
[Although Eunuch Cao is a scumbag, Aunt Yi Shuang is not a good person either, she secretly hooked up with several eunuchs! ]
[Eunuch Cao is the emperor's confidant, she has learned a lot about the emperor's movements from Eunuch Cao! ]
Aunt Yi Shuang: ! !
It is a serious crime to spy on the emperor.
This girl can't be kept...
Aunt Yi Shuang suddenly felt a murderous aura in her heart...
Before the murderous aura had time to sprout, she suddenly felt as if her throat was being strangled.
"Gah——"
Aunt Yishuang closed her eyes and fainted immediately.
