34, Queen Mother
"Grandmother of the Emperor, you have to make the decision for me! That stinky woman bullies me!"
Before Xu Shu could stand still, she heard the man say this, and then she knew that this man was the emperor's eldest son and the emperor's only child.
After hearing the eldest son's words, Xu Shu knew that it was related to the secrets of the palace and hurriedly stood up and said she wanted to find Master Miaofan. The Empress Dowager was a little hesitant. Seeing this, the Empress Dowager hurriedly said, "I just happened to have some things to deal with in the palace!"
The Empress Dowager nodded, "You take good care of Shu Yatou for the Ai family!"
The queen took Xu Shu and bowed and asked for her back, and the eunuch behind her immediately covered the palace gate.
"Master Miaofan is in the Tingchan Pavilion behind Cining Palace. I will accompany Miss Xu Jiu! I haven't seen Master Miaofan for a long time!" The queen pointed to the palace behind Cining Palace.
Xu Shu lowered her head and asked the queen to go first, but the queen held Xu Shu's hand together and said while walking, "You haven't entered the palace for a year or two. Last time you came, you still had a double wool combed, but now you have tied your bun..."
"The Empress is so good at remembering. The last time my daughter entered the palace was the time of the Empress Dowager's birthday the previous year!" The queen's sudden show of kindness made Xu Shu feel alert.
"I have been idle in the palace in the past few years. When I was bored, I couldn't help but recall some past events. As I thought about it... I thought of you. It happened that King Ji submitted a memorial to you, so the emperor asked me to help me make an idea! The emperor said that you can't use fame, wealth and wealth, so it's better to reward more silver and money! I told the emperor that no matter how much silver and money you have, it's better to reward some fields and manors, and there will be a long-term investment in the future!" Speaking of this, the queen smiled and approached Xu Shu, "The garden and fields are specially selected by the palace!"
The queen had a lot of meaning in her words. The emperor also told the queen that the queen wanted to say that her status in the emperor's heart was extraordinary. Xu Shu then said with a look of fear and fear, "Thank you Empress!"
The queen giggled, "What are you thankful, I think I like you very much when I look at you!"
While speaking, he had already arrived at the Tingchan Pavilion, but the queen stopped going in. "It's getting late today. I will come to visit the Master again someday!" After that, he left with his mighty followers.
After entering the Tingchan Pavilion, he saw that there was a cushion beside Master Miaofan. Wanfeng helped Xu Shu to kneel down and stand aside.
"The Empress Dowager gave me a lot of things. The Empress Dowager just told me that those things were given to me by the Emperor, and she also asked the emperor for the farmland to give to me..."
Master Miaofan said calmly, "You have guessed the reason in your heart, and you will make your own decision!"
Xu Shu thought about it and said, "Everything has a cause, now let's wait and see what's going on!"
Master Miaofan nodded, and he agreed...
After reciting a passage of scriptures, Master Miaofan got up and wanted to go to the front hall to perform rituals, and told Xu Shu, "Just go around here, don't go far!"
The palace maid on the side said, "There is a pavilion passing through the corridor in front. Xinhe is just now open. Miss Xu can go and enjoy it!"
Xu Shu responded and helped her to the pavilion by Wanfeng. Sure enough, she smelled the fragrance of lotus, "After that it was the palace, the lotus flowers were blooming just now!"
"In order to make the lotus bloom early in the palace, the ground dragons were built by the pond, so the flowers by the pond should bloom earlier, and the flowers in the middle of the pond had not yet been budged!" Wan Feng leaned on the railing and stretched his hand to reach a lotus, and he pulled it over and handed it to Xu Shu.
Xu Shu took the flower branches and it was indeed in full bloom. She smiled and was about to let go, but suddenly she shouted loudly, "Bold! Who are you? You dare to pick the things you offer privately. Do you know that the lotus flowers in the pond were specially ordered by the emperor to cultivate them to celebrate my empress's birthday, so how can you trample on them at will!"
Xu Shusong bloomed the flower branches, looked in the direction of her speech, and said lightly, "I didn't pick it, and I'm a blind man and can't see it. What can I do if I pick it?"
Xu Shu turned around and scolded the palace maid loudly before she saw the cloth strips covering her eyes. She remembered that Master Miaofan entered the palace today. The person who claimed to be blind should be Xu Shu, the ninth lady of the Xu family who was summoned by the Empress Dowager. She was deeply loved by the Empress Dowager and could not be easily offended. The palace maid suddenly looked at her master, Mei Lian, nervously.
Beauty Lian looked at a plain back from a distance and looked graceful and maids with her side. She thought it was the emperor's new favorite, and she was jealous. Seeing Xu Shu's clothes and not having a high position, she wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate her before signaling the palace maid to speak. Unexpectedly, Xu Shu turned her head and realized that she had recognized the wrong person, but she didn't want to stop and lose her face. She also disliked Xu Shu's calm and composed look, as if she didn't take her eyes.
Then he snorted coldly, "Although you can't see, you can still smell it. Since it is my thing, no one can touch it without my permission! People come, slap their mouths!"
Mei Meiren's sudden temper and majesty shocked the palace maids around her and said in a low voice, "Miss Xu Jiu was summoned to the palace. If the Empress Dowager saw it, it would be difficult to explain..."
Thinking of the support of Concubine Shu, Mei Meiren Lian was fearless, "Put! I'll ask you to hit me if I want you to hit me, otherwise you'll endure it for her?"
The palace maid trembled and walked towards Xu Shu. After taking a step, a majestic voice suddenly came from behind, "A little beauty living in a side palace dared to call herself this palace? And when did the lotus in Taihua Pond become yours? The Ai family comes every day, why have you never heard of it?"
Mei Meiren Lian was shocked when she heard the voice and knelt down in a hurry, "I wish you a blessing to the Queen Mother!"
Xu Shu and Wan Feng also knelt down, "My daughter has met the Empress Dowager!"
The Empress Dowager looked about the 34th and 5th day of the New Year. She was well maintained and her skin was very fair. She only had a pair of phoenix eyes that were majestic. She glanced at the beautiful lady Lian who was shaking into a sieve and ignored her, but raised her hand to Xu Shuxu, "Get up!"
Xu Shu stood up silently and heard the Empress Dowager say to Lian Meiren, "Ai family remembers that you are from Concubine Shu's palace, you can go to Concubine Shu's place to receive the punishment!"
"Thank you Empress Dowager!" Lian Meiren was relieved and was about to leave when she heard the Empress Dowager say, "When Concubine Shu comes to pay her respects, Ai's family wants to ask her!"
Beauty Lian was shocked and retreated decadently.
"My daughter, thank the Empress Dowager!" If the Empress Dowager had not rescued the siege, although Meiren Lian would not have received any benefits in the end, Xu Shu herself would have suffered some grievances.
"No need to thank me. The Ai family is not trying to save you. They just don't like her crazy virtues. The rules in this palace are indiscriminate!" The Empress Dowager said while signaling people to cut off the lotus that Xu Shu had just played with.
Is there any rules in this palace? Xu Shu pulled the corner of her mouth and lowered her head to hide that sarcastic smile.
The Empress Dowager took the lotus flower and handed it to Xu Shu himself, "This Hua Ai family will reward you!"
Xu Shu hurriedly took the thanks and heard the Empress Dowager murmur, "This Taihuachi was planted by the Ai family when they entered the palace. It has been almost twenty years in the blink of an eye..."
