Transmigration: I Pampered the Sickly Prince Wei with My Spatial Ability

Chapter 193
Early morning three days later.

Today Xu Ruqing woke up very early, the reason is that the palace sent someone to deliver a message, saying that the queen mother has been reading intensively since returning to the mansion on her last birthday, and wanted to talk to Xu Ruqing in the palace, but Xu Ruqing never went to say hello, so the queen mother She had no choice but to personally send Nurse Yun by her side to invite her into the palace.Immediately afterwards, Deacon Su, who was beside Concubine Guo Shu, also came, and said that Concubine Shu had invited her to Huaqing Court for a talk.

Helpless, Xu Ruqing was forced by Zhiqu to get up from the bed early in the morning, and sat in front of the dressing table to do her makeup early.

"Although the concubine is the official wife of His Royal Highness King Wei, the rules still have to be followed in the palace. I don't need the old slave to teach the concubine how to do this matter of paying respects to the elders, right?"

Xu Ruqing took a sip of the tea that Zhiqu handed over, and suddenly felt a little sober: "If others listen to what Madam Yun said, those who don't know will think that this concubine is putting on airs, and even the Queen Mother doesn't pay attention to it." It’s over. Please go back and tell the Queen Mother, Mother Yun, that this concubine already knows about it, so I’ll go to the palace to greet the Queen Mother.”

"In this way, the old slave will go back and answer the Queen Mother."

Xu Ruqing lowered her eyes and stopped looking at Nanny Yun: "Later, this concubine is going to inform the prince, and I don't have time to go to Concubine Shu's place anymore. I also ask Deacon Su to inform the concubine, and the deacon will go slowly."

"Yes."

Seeing Nanny Yun and Deacon Su walking away, Zhiqu leaned forward and asked in confusion, "Princess, doesn't the Queen Mother like Yan Ji and hate you? Why did you suddenly announce your audience this time?"

Xu Ruqing smiled after hearing Zhiqu's words. "In your opinion, what do you think the Queen Mother will call me for?"

"The servant thinks that the narration is false and the temptation is true. This might be a grand banquet."

"Hongmen Banquet..." Xu Ruqing chewed these two words carefully, and then said with a smile: "Not bad, the little girl looks dumb but she is not too stupid, and she knows about Hongmen Banquet."

"So we can't go to this Hongmen Banquet. It's probably not good for the princess. The princess should think twice."

Xu Ruqing didn't respond, but half-closed her eyes to search the original body's memory, and only found some rare deeds about the Queen Mother Huiwen.

Xu Ruqing let out a breath, and after thinking about it, I'm afraid it won't work if I don't go: "Soldiers come to cover the water and soil, so you can freshen up, and go with my concubine to see the mice in the hole, and then sneak around Some kind of conspiracy."

Zhiqu took the lead: "Yes."

……

The imperial palace, inside Qiankun Palace.

"Queen Mother, Concubine Wei and others have been waiting in the side hall for a long time, look..."

Empress Dowager Liu was lying on the bench at this time, dozing off intently with her right hand resting on her face.Hearing Mammy Yun's words, she didn't even raise her eyelids, as if she didn't hear it.

She was wearing a red and black cloud brocade gown, the fabric was exquisite and smooth, and the gold thread embroidered with a faint warm light, it was worth a lot of money at first glance.

Another half an hour passed, Xu Ruqing and Zhiqu waited impatiently, and now she has come to pay her respects as requested by the queen mother, but the old woman has not summoned her for a long time, any smart person can see that she made it clear He is giving Xu Ruqing a blow.

"Princess, it will be noon in a while..."

From early in the morning to now, the master and the servant have not had a drop of water. They rushed to Qiankun Palace to wait before they had time to eat breakfast. They waited abruptly from the sun rising until now the sun is shining. when.

"The Empress Dowager may have something important to do right now, don't worry, let's wait."

"The princess is not to blame."

Xu Ruqing raised her head and looked out the door before seeing anyone and hearing her voice, only to see an old nanny wearing a gray-black jacket, trousers and black cloth shoes walking towards them quickly.

Xu Ruqing put down the cold tea in his hand, "It turned out to be Madam Yun. I wonder if there is any news from the Queen Mother?"

"The princess doesn't know something. The queen mother just chanted scriptures in the ancestral hall to pray for the country. Her old man once ordered that no one should be disturbed by others at a time like this, so the servants also waited for a long time. The old lady just gave a message I have sent this old slave to lead the way for the princess."

She had an apologetic smile on her face, but Xu Ruqing knew that those were just polite words.

"Then Sister Laoyun will lead the way."

After walking through the winding pavilions and corridors, and winding around the long and narrow garden paths, the three of them finally arrived at the main hall of Qiankun Palace as they wished.

In the main hall, the Empress Dowager Huiwen was taking a rest with her eyes closed, sitting on the main seat with a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, her lips moving lightly as if she was muttering something, the beads were round and jade-like, and each was clear, revealing a warm reddish-brown color, from a distance, You can also smell the fragrance from the beads.

Xu Ruqing nodded slightly, and bowed respectfully: "Concubine Xu Ruqing, please greet the Queen Mother."

Xu Ruqing kept this kneeling posture for about ten seconds, but Liu Shi didn't respond for a long time.

Fearing that the Empress Dowager was too forgetful to hear the scriptures, Xu Ruqing repeated it again, and deliberately raised the volume: "Concubine Xu Ruqing, please greet the Empress Dowager."

It was still deathly silent, and the only response to the Queen Mother was the cramped and tense breathing of the three people in the huge space.

Xu Ruqing's temperament is not the kind to be manipulated by others. Seeing that the Queen Mother has not moved for a long time, she simply stood up without waiting for Liu Shi to forgive her. "The concubine came at an inappropriate time, and disturbed the queen mother's peace, so I had to come back another day to pay her respects, and the concubine resigned."

Just kidding, is this girl very busy? I have been waiting for you old cock for several hours in the side room, and I still have to wait here?

Whoever wants to respect this rule, please say goodbye!

Just when Xu Ruqing was about to turn around and leave with Zhiqu, a slightly sullen voice suddenly came from behind: "Stop."

Xu Ruqing paused and turned around slowly.

The Empress Dowager slowly opened her drooping eyelids. The powder on her face was very thick, and none of the rouge, gouache, powder, and flower tints that were used on her face fell off. It could be seen that although Liu Shi was already in her sixties, she was very concerned about herself. But that face is still very important, even every strand of hair is delicate and just right.

It's a pity that time has ruined a beauty, even the most gorgeous dress can't hide the oldness in her eyes, the loose skin has left the texture woven by time, and the long hair is no longer as green as black ink... But Xu Ruqing looked at her From the bones of the human facial features, I have seen the various amorous feelings of the Queen Mother when she was young, and the current unwillingness has faded away.

The Queen Mother sat up straight and looked down at the two people below: "You are impatient, you just came to my Qiankun Palace and thought about going back not long ago?"

"The empress dowager misunderstood. Since the concubine came here to greet you, why would she just pretend to be so casual and leave?"

"Have a heart? If you have a heart, you would choose to come to pay your respects at noon? Aijia thinks he hasn't treated you harshly on weekdays, why? Have you learned the rules like a dog!?"
