567, into the palace
When the old lady sent someone to the villa, Mrs. Zheng Si expected to go back. When Xu Shu burned the letter, she confirmed her idea, so she immediately packed her bags and prepared to return to the city. On the day she returned to the city, Mr. Zheng Si took a leave to pick up Mrs. Zheng Si.
Mrs. Zheng Si was shy and remembered her favor to Mr. Zheng Si in her heart. Although there was still a gap in her heart because of Mr. Zheng Si's partiality with Zheng Wanfeng, it was no longer revealed.
But on the way back, Master Zheng Si repeatedly wanted to say something to Xu Shu, but Xu Shu was completely avoiding her attitude, which made him unable to speak even if he wanted to say anything. In the end, he had to sigh and give up.
The day after Xu Shu returned to Zheng's family, the old lady rushed into the palace. This time, the old lady accompanied Xu Shu into the palace in person. In fact, the queen did not want to summon the old lady, but she only said that Xu Shu would go to the palace. However, the old lady was not so relieved about Xu Shu, fearing that Xu Shu would do something that was unfavorable to the Zheng family and the queen. She was also afraid that Xu Shu would enter the palace alone this time, which made the queen trust even more. She felt a sense of crisis in her heart, so she insisted on following her. The queen did not say that she would not let the old lady enter the palace, and the person who came to pass the message was so in a hurry.
Not long after Xu Shu returned to the Zheng family, she entered the palace twice in a row. Many people in the Zheng family did not have such treatment. She immediately understood that Miss Zheng Jiu's status in the Zheng family was extraordinary. She was envious and could not help but feel more alert. She would have to establish a good relationship with Miss Jiu in the future and must not offend her.
The old lady has a lot of complaints about the queen giving the secret letter to Xu Shu instead of herself.
In the eyes of the old lady, the queen's behavior was to value Xu Shu more than herself. However, as the queen's biological mother, the current emperor's mother-in-law, she has an extremely high status in the eyes of the world and is respected by the world. Now she is cold in front of her daughter. In the eyes of her daughter, she is not as respected as an outsider. However, her daughter is the queen of the mother of a country. Even if she is dissatisfied, she cannot show it, otherwise she will be a crime of disrespect! The old lady dare not be dissatisfied with the queen, and her anger can only be transferred to Xu Shu.
The old lady kept silent on the way to the palace. Xu Shu knew that the old lady was feeling awkward, but because she felt that the queen had written a secret letter to her and summoned her to the palace, but she did not summon her, feeling that it would damage her face, but Xu Shu was not willing to pay attention to these things.
After all, the old lady is just an old lady who is so popular and a little unaware of it. When the empress was the princess Qing, the old lady was not as arrogant as it is now. At that time, the old lady was very humble. She was not respected by others and was still called the one wife. However, since the emperor ascended the throne and the former Princess Qing became the queen, her status has increased sharply. As she grew older, her name became the old lady. Her temper grew older, and she could not see others disrespect her and disrespect her. She could not tolerate someone passing her. Now that the empress has something to look for her, but she didn't pass her. It was naturally because she fell into the old lady's eyes and she would naturally pass her. Of course, she would be unhappy in her heart.
When we arrived at Kunning Palace, the old lady was very polite and respectful, "Old lady, you are here. The Empress has been talking about you for several days. Yesterday, I heard that you are coming, and I ordered the imperial kitchen to make the dishes that the old lady likes to eat!"
In comparison, I became much more dull to Xu Shu, "This is Miss Ninth. Last time I went to the palace with the Fourth Lady to invite the Queen!"
The old lady finally felt the tone in her heart, and she finally felt balanced. "I'm sorry, I'm thinking about it, so I'll go and pay my respects to the empress!"
The palace maid led them into the inside. Xu Shu walked along the way, listening to the sound, the people in Kunning Palace were all acquaintances, but they had never seen them before, and now they all felt that they were new faces when they looked at them.
The queen sat upright on the couch, with a beautiful face and decent makeup. She looked about her early thirties, and the slight fine lines on the corners of her eyes could tell her actual age. In terms of appearance, she was barely two points similar to the old lady. I think the queen looked more like the old Mr. Zheng who had passed away. The queen was wearing a regular dress with autumn fragrance. The weather was only late summer, and the heat had not yet faded, but the queen was already wearing a jacket and a thin blanket under her chest. Compared to Xu Shulai, who was only wearing a gauze dress, the queen seemed to be about to be in winter.
"Please pay tribute to the Queen, and the Queen will be blessed with all the blessings!"
The old lady knelt down and gave a big gift to the queen, and Xu Shu also gave a big gift.
"Mom, get up! Sister Yi will get up too! Give a seat!"
The queen raised her hand slightly and signaled Madam Yuan to bring a brocade stool for the old lady Xu Shu and the other two!
Because the old lady wanted to say something to the queen, the thrush that was accompanying her was left outside, Xu Shu helped the old lady sit down, and then she sat on the brocade stool that Madam Yuan brought for her.
"Thank you, Madam!"
Madam Yuan smiled and shook her head, "Miss Jiu, you are polite! I'll go make tea!"
Except for the Queen, the Old Lady and Xu Shu, there was no one else in the house.
The old lady couldn't help but say excitedly, "The Empress is so anxious to summon..." Thinking that the Empress was actually summoning Xu Shu, the old lady turned the words to the point of her mouth, "What's the important thing to summon Yijie'er into the palace?" Although she was thinking in her heart, it was not easy to say it directly.
The Empress nodded and looked at the old lady. Although the old lady forced her to enter the palace and violated her orders, she was her biological mother after all, so she would not be too harsh to avoid being criticized, and would hurt her mother's heart. She could not show mercy to Xu Shu in front of her. And the mother also cared about her, so she nodded, "There is indeed such a thing, but my mother is old and should be retiring, so she doesn't want to exhaust her mother. Unexpectedly, her mother entered the palace, which made me feel very guilty and uneasy!"
"Empress is a tragic person! The Empress's business is the business of the Zheng family, and it is the business of the old man. As long as you can share the worries for the Empress, how dare you delay the old man? For the sake of the Empress, is willing to be heartbroken?" The old lady said excitedly, without paying attention to the deeper meaning of the Queen's words.
"Mother, don't be excited, be careful!" the queen said comfortingly, but the person was still motionless. Xu Shu still stretched out her hand to touch the old lady who was excited and gasping for the excited and slightly breathless old lady.
After the old lady Junshun came out of breath, she did not forget to ask the queen what she said just now, "The Empress said that summoning Yi Jie'er was an important matter, what was the important matter?"
