Reborn as the beloved of the crippled king

Chapter 553 Why is the Queen here too!?
Before the carriage left the city, Wang Yingluo heard the noise.

It seemed like some people were gathered together and talking loudly about something.

Her ears twitched and she suddenly became excited.

"They are talking about papermaking and printing, which I invented!"

Wang Yingluo wanted to get out of the carriage and tell everyone that it was all thanks to her that they had cheap books to read.

Furong directly stuffed her mouth, but lifted the curtain, allowing Wang Yingluo to see the scene on the street.

When Wang Yingluo saw it clearly, her eyes widened.

It was because all the shops at the city gate had become bookstores.

There were long queues at these bookshops, with many people dressed as scholars lining up and talking excitedly.

It is said that anyone who has passed the imperial examination can go to the bookstore and get a set of books for free with a certificate. A set contains as many as thirty-six books.

They are all grateful for the country's good policies, which allow readers to no longer worry about buying books.

He also said that books are now 70% cheaper than before, all thanks to His Majesty and the Empress.

"How can it be the credit of the Emperor and the Empress? It's clearly mine!"

Wang Yingluo wanted to shout out loud, but her mouth was blocked by Furong and was also twisted by two maids. The people in front of the shop didn't notice her at all.

She cried out, and as the carriage moved forward, the city gate became farther and farther away.

Furong then pulled the thing out of Wang Yingluo's mouth and said slowly, "The Emperor and the Empress did not take credit for this. They announced to the world that there were talented people who improved the papermaking and printing techniques. However, everyone in the world knows that if His Majesty and the Empress had not valued scholars, there would be no promotion of cheap books."

"What talented person? This is clearly my improvement, why don't they announce it to the world?! Why?"

Wang Yingluo was unwilling to accept this. She could have become famous, so why should the credit be taken away by others?
"Just because of this, you shouldn't have set your sights on His Majesty!"

Furong said this in a cold voice and blocked Wang Yingluo's mouth again. This time, she said she would not say another word to her no matter what.

This woman will probably not repent even when she is on her deathbed.

Take yourself too seriously.

Wang Yingluo's eyes were filled with hatred, and her mouth tasted bloody.

The carriage went further and further away, and the voices of the pedestrians on the road gradually disappeared.

Wang Yingluo, who originally thought that she would not be executed, began to panic again.

Where will they take themselves?
Doesn’t the emperor want to see her?
Furong was talking about the emperor and the empress, but she automatically ignored the empress, thinking that only Jun Yuyan wanted to see her.

She changed her mind and realized that Jun Yuyan cared about Murong Jiu so much, he definitely didn't want Murong Jiu to know about their meeting, so he went to a remote place for a date.

She thought about this and that, and before she knew it, she had arrived at the place.

"The Temple of the Protectorate."

After seeing the words on the plaque clearly, Wang Yingluo laughed.

In movies and TV dramas, those high-ranking officials like to use temples and Taoist temples as places for private meetings because it is easier to conceal their identities.

The two maids let her go and made a few gestures to Furong. Wang Yingluo then realized that the two maids were deaf-mutes. No wonder Furong talked about printing and papermaking directly in the carriage.

Furong took the cloth out of her mouth and said to her, “Follow me.

Wang Yingluo didn't like her rudeness, but she had to obey her because she wanted to see Jun Yuyan.

The Huguo Temple is very large and it felt like we had been walking for a long time. Furong finally slowed down.

Wang Yingluo was excited and when she looked up, she saw someone she didn't expect.

"Empress Dowager!" Why is the Empress Dowager here?

Isn't this the Royal Temple? The Queen Mother lived well in the palace and had never left the palace before. How could she suddenly appear in the temple?
Could it be that Jun Yuyan was using the Queen Mother as a shield?
She quickly bowed politely: "I pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

After the ceremony, she felt something was wrong. She took another look and found that the empress dowager was dressed too simply. If it weren't for her recognizable face, she might not have recognized her face just by looking at her dress.

Empress Dowager Qi was a person who loved beauty very much. Even after she became the empress dowager, her clothes were all in bright and solemn colors, and she never wore such plain clothes.

Queen Mother Qi also stopped and looked at Wang Yingluo's face, then smiled, "Well, since we've met, let's go together. I'll join in the fun."

What do you mean?
Not right.

The Queen Mother has always called herself "Aijia", why did she suddenly call herself "I"?
too weird.

Could it be that the Queen Mother knew that the Emperor wanted to see her and sent her to him on purpose?
Wang Yingluo didn't want to guess anymore, so she asked directly, "Empress Dowager, are we going to see His Majesty?"

"Of course it is."

When Wang Yingluo heard this, she immediately felt relieved.

Just go and see the emperor.

She was still afraid that some danger was waiting for her, but since she was going to meet the emperor, if they wanted to kill her, they wouldn't go to so much trouble to let her come.

Giving her a bath and changing clothes before coming, isn't that a hint to her?

Thinking of this, she showed a bit of shyness on her face, and lowered her head slightly and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, I was ignorant before, but after this incident, I have learned my lesson. I will keep my tail down and behave myself. I will not provoke the Queen, and I will serve Your Majesty wholeheartedly and assist Your Majesty."

"What did you say?"

The Queen Mother would never have thought that Wang Yingluo would actually say such a thing. What made her misunderstand that she was here to serve the Emperor today?

Can her son appreciate a woman like Wang Yingluo?

I've seen people who are self-righteous, but I've never seen anyone so self-righteous.

The Queen Mother was speechless for a moment.

Wang Yingluo smiled shyly and said, "I understand everything. Even if it's not allowed in public, I am willing to do it."

The Queen Mother was speechless for a while.

If she didn't want to watch the fun and was curious about the possibility of soul exchange, she wouldn't want to walk the same path with Wang Yingluo.

Amitabha, it turns out that she can only be a lay disciple, and no one will accept her as a nun.

Quickening our pace, we soon arrived at the back mountain of the Huguo Temple.

There was an open space in the middle of the back mountain. There were only two people on the open space, an old monk and the other - Wang Yingluo saw a tall figure at a glance, who was too eye-catching in both appearance and figure.

It was noon at this time, and the sunlight shone directly, covering the man as if he was coated with a layer of golden light, making him even more unattainable.

Her heart was beating like a deer, and she called out shyly, "Your Majesty!"

Jun Yuyan turned his head, his eyes cold.

The light at noon was too strong, and Wang Yingluo didn't notice it at all. She quickened her pace and hurried towards Jun Yuyan.

However, after taking a few steps, her expression suddenly changed.

Because there was someone else under the big tree not far away.

The one standing and fanning herself is Hong Yi, and the one sitting on the stone bench is none other than Queen Murong Jiu!
They were under a shady tree, so Wang Yingluo didn't notice there were other people at first!

Why is the Queen here too!?
