At Zhou's Mansion, not long after Zhao and Yudie left, the palace lady-in-waiting came to invite Zhulan into the palace.
Zhulan's heart skipped a beat and she carefully observed the female official's expression. Unfortunately, they were all shrewd people in the palace and it was difficult to tell anything from their faces.
Zhulan changed her clothes and came out. She didn't ask the female official. It was useless to ask. If she wanted to tell you, she would have revealed some information just now. Now she looked like she was keeping silent, so you knew she had been warned.
She was not worried about her granddaughter. The Emperor Retired and the Empress Dowager were both in the palace. Even if the sky was broken, there were still the two biggest ones to protect her. She was worried about Yujiao.
On the other side, Zhao and Yudie arrived at Liu's house first. Yudie was very good at pretending outside, but after entering the Liu's house, she walked forward without looking around.
Liu Yuanbo's servant was hiding aside and saw the person coming. His eyes widened. Oh, isn't this the third lady of the Zhou family that the young master has been thinking about? He turned around and ran away.
The servant was also secretly amazed. The master was a very stingy person, but very generous to the mistress. The mistress spent money like water, but the master never said a word. The young master was also stingy, but he fell in love with the third daughter of the Zhou family. Both the master and the young master had good taste.
In the future, when the third lady of the Zhou family really gets engaged to the young master, his good days will come.
As servants and maids, they naturally wanted to follow a generous master, and they were very much looking forward to the engagement between the young master and the third lady of the Zhou family.
Mrs. Guo came out with a smile, "I was just saying that it's time, please come in."
Zhao curled her lips and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. You look better."
Guo said with a double meaning, "I am in a good mood because of happy events."
Zhao felt unhappy in her heart, there was good news coming up before the fortune was even written.
After entering the house and sitting down, Guo had already prepared seasonal fruits and some snacks. Guo said to Zhao, "I heard you say that Yudie likes to eat these snacks, so I bought some more."
Zhao saw it when she came in. Guo had only asked her once, and she didn't reveal much, just a few things, which were said a long time ago. Guo actually remembered them in her heart. Zhao felt relieved, "I'm so embarrassed."
Guo smiled and said, "I like Yudie. I got along well with her the first time I saw her."
If she didn't want to marry her home as a daughter-in-law, she would really like to find a godparent. She always wanted to have a daughter who looked like her, but unfortunately she hurt her body after giving birth to her second son and she never got pregnant again.
The granddaughter born to the eldest son has a temperament more like that of the eldest daughter-in-law, and is well-behaved. She is now particularly looking forward to Yudie marrying into the family. If Yudie gives birth to a granddaughter who looks like her, just thinking about the pain and pampering that the master and son will feel in the future, makes her happy!
Liu Yuanbo heard the servant's words in his own yard and was secretly glad that he didn't really leave. His mother asked him to go back to the yard, so he stayed there obediently. As expected, his mother loved to trick him the most.
Liu Yuanbo stood up and walked back and forth. He was waiting for news from his mother, but he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart because Miss Zhou came to the house.
The servant hid behind and laughed, he thought that fate was really magical, sooner or later someone would be able to deal with the young master, and they, the servants who followed the young master, would be able to get more rewards in the future.
At the palace gate, Zhulan got off the carriage and heard a noise behind her. A carriage stopped behind her own carriage, waiting for the people in the carriage to get off. She knew her. It was the old lady of the Shangguan family.
The old lady also met Zhulan and felt slightly relieved. She was afraid that she was the only one invited. You know, the imperial decree came down that the Shangguan family had a future princess, and many people wanted to bring the Shangguan family down. This time when Li'er entered the palace, they were afraid that Li'er would be plotted against, which would affect Jia'er.
Zhulan greeted first, "Old Madam, you have also been invited into the palace?"
The old lady nodded, "The Countess too?"
Zhulan looked back. Good, there were no other carriages behind. It seemed that only their two families were invited. "Yes."
The two looked at each other in silence. The matter was not simple and they were worried again.
As the female official entered the palace, the two did not continue to communicate, as the palace was not a place for communication.
They soon arrived at the Empress Dowager's bedroom. When Zhulan came in, she saw that everyone was there, even the Queen was there. It was obvious that something serious had happened.
Her eyes quickly searched for Yujiao and Linxi, but neither of them were there, and she also didn't see any other girls, which made her a little confused.
Zhulan walked into the hall and greeted everyone. The Empress Dowager gestured for her to stand up and allowed her to sit.
This made Zhulan more cautious, and she felt very nervous. She did not feel relieved just because she was given a seat.
The queen was not looking well and couldn't hold on for much longer, so she wanted to go back and rest.
The Queen Mother was always paying attention to the Queen. Now that everyone was present, she said, "Please invite the two ladies into the palace, as we have two young ladies."
The Queen Mother paused and continued, "Madams, don't be nervous. They are just a little frightened. The imperial physician has checked them and they are fine. They can leave the palace with you today. As for other matters, you two ladies understand what you can and cannot say, right?"
Zhulan's heart dropped to the ground. She understood that her granddaughter was the victim and that the harem was probably involved. "Yes, I understand."
But the anger in my heart kept growing.
Madam Shangguan breathed a sigh of relief, "I understand."
The Empress Dowager nodded and signaled the lady-in-waiting to take the two men to see their granddaughters.
The Empress Dowager had said that there were no outsiders in the palace, and her face suddenly darkened. She stared at Liu with sharp eyes, "Liu is confined to copy scriptures for half a year. As for the Second Prince's Consort, Your Majesty is free to think about it."
Then he said to the queen with concern: "You are tired too, go back and rest."
The queen was very tired, but seeing that Concubine Liu had suffered a serious setback, she was happy. If she had not been concerned about the Second Prince and the Liu family, Concubine Liu would not have been just under house arrest today.
The queen stood up and said, "Mother, I will go back first."
"Well, be careful on the way back."
Queen: "Yes."
When the queen passed by Liu, she saw Liu sitting on the ground. There was sarcasm in her eyes and she couldn't help sighing in her heart. Liu's plan was also for her maternal family.
Maternal clan, the queen's joy was gone. Her own maternal clan had already gotten enough, so why were they still not satisfied
Zhulan and the old lady of the Shangguan family saw Yujiao and Shangguan Li, two little girls living together, which they had never expected.
Zhulan and the old lady looked at each other, and became closer to each other. Their smiles became more sincere. The two little girls were talking in the same quilt, head to head, and the two girls had a good relationship.
Zhulan coughed, and Yujiao looked at her and was surprised, "Grandma."
Shangguan Li also exclaimed, "Grandma."
Zhulan saw that her granddaughter was fine, but she was still worried, "Come here quickly and let grandma take a good look at her."
Yujiao is a delicate person. She was very scared today. She felt wronged when she saw her grandmother. She couldn't cry when she didn't see her grandmother. Her cousin watched over her and secretly told her not to say anything and not to leave the house. She became scared after her cousin was taken away by the female official.
Shangguan Li couldn't help it anymore. As a child who had been brought up in pampering, she threw herself into her grandmother's arms and cried aggrievedly.
Zhulan signaled the maid to pack her luggage. The maid who followed her into the palace was still there, wondering what had happened, but she said, "Okay, let's stop crying. Grandma is here to take you home."
Yu Jiao, "Really?"
"When has grandma ever lied to you?"
Yujiao stopped crying and said, "Granddaughter will go change clothes now."
