Lou Qingwu followed the nanny to Renshou Palace, all the way to the main hall. The nanny who led her back returned to the head and stood behind the queen mother. Lou Qingwu knelt down and saluted, "My daughter, Lou Qingwu, has met the queen mother. The queen mother is a thousand years old." But the head did not hear She frowned slightly at the Queen Mother's voice, then lowered her head and shouted again, but there was still no Queen Mother's voice coming from above. Lou Qingwu boldly raised her head, and saw the Empress Dowager lying on her side on the imperial concubine's couch, with her head propped on one hand, her eyes closed, and the nanny was kneading her shoulders for her, and the whole main hall was silent. Terrible.
Seeing Lou Qingwu raised her head, the nanny gave a half-smile, shook her head at Lou Qingwu, and moved her mouth.
It means: The Queen Mother is asleep, Princess Rende, please wait a moment.
Lou Qingwu lowered her eyes, this waiting for a while is worth pondering, a stick of incense? an hour? or two
Lou Qingwu sighed, it seems that the Empress Dowager is here to make things difficult for her. She heard that the Empress Dowager always slept lightly. Although her voice just now was not loud, it was not low enough to wake up the old man, but she didn't. The meaning of that was self-evident.
The Queen Mother is pretending to be asleep.
If it was someone else, Lou Qingwu would directly think of a way to wake her up, but because she thought of the purpose of the queen mother's visit this time, she acquiesced in making things difficult for her. The Queen Mother has always been very close to the King of the Night. It seems that this time the rumors from the outside world made the Queen Mother angry and wanted to punish Feng Yege for her.
Lou Qingwu knelt for half an hour before the queen mother quietly opened her eyes, saw Lou Qingwu, and sat up while holding the arm of the nanny.
"Is this a light dance?"
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, it is the minister's daughter."
"Why are you still kneeling, get up, you guys are too serious, how can you let the emperor's appointed Princess Rende kneel. The child Qingwu is here, why don't you call Aijia?" Those mothers immediately knelt down. Land, she waved her hand and shouted again. After this up and down, Lou Qingwu's face remained expressionless, who would dare to disturb her rest among those around her? Unless you don't want to stay in Renshou Palace. But since the queen mother gave her a step down, she can only go up the steps.
Standing up slowly, it was only because her legs were numb from kneeling for too long that she rubbed them, and slowly stood up straight.
Well-behaved, the queen mother did not speak, and she did not speak.
The Empress Dowager finally felt that it was almost time, and the palace gate was about to close without making a sound, so she took a sip of the ginseng tea offered by the nanny and said, "Has Qingwu passed Jiji's age?"
"Yes, it's over."
"Is there a betrothed family?"
"Not yet."
"I don't know... how about Aijia showing you the marriage?" The queen mother half-closed her eyes, and the sharp light shot straight at Lou Qingwu.
Lou Qingwu sighed in her heart, it seems that what she has done recently is really not to be welcomed by the queen mother, she even came up directly to kiss her, but how she wants to answer herself, if she agrees, Then the Empress Dowager would point out one of them casually, and she would have to marry if she didn't want to; but if she refused too bluntly, but did not give the Empress Dowager face, if she became angry from embarrassment, her own trip would be in danger. He lowered his eyes to cover the coldness in his eyes. He answered just now, but he heard a report singing suddenly from the outer hall of Renshou Palace: "The Night King has arrived—"
The Empress Dowager's complacent expression instantly froze, she sat up straight, and looked out of the palace with frowns. Feng Yege came in a crescent-white dress, and when he walked by, the wind was blowing in his robes, and his handsome face seemed to be cold and white, showing no emotion. Standing beside Lou Qingwu, she raised her head to look at the queen mother, "Ye greets the queen mother."
"Ye'er, aren't you feeling unwell? Why are you here again?" The Empress Dowager's eyes fell on his pale face, and distress flashed in her eyes. How can this child be so troublesome.
"I heard that this is the welcome banquet for the envoys of the Xiliang Kingdom. I drank some medicine and slept for a while, but now I woke up and came here. I didn't expect it to be over. I just stopped by to see my grandmother."
"..." The one on the right is actually the one you most want to see.
The queen mother sighed, but before she could open her mouth, she heard Feng Yege continue: "When I came to Renshou Palace at night, I heard that the empress is looking for Princess Rende, should the queen mother let me go first?"
Feng Yege's words were outright asking for someone, but he had a frank expression on his face, which made the Queen Mother unable to get angry even if she wanted to. I also know that as long as the child is here tonight, the marriage of the Lou family will definitely not be settled. Originally, she wanted to take this opportunity to directly make the matter a certainty. coming.
Even Lou Qingwu couldn't be in a good mood.
This woman must not be left behind.
Feng Yege's face was as white as jade, very calm, the queen mother could only wave her hands at last: "Forget it, since the queen is looking for you, Qingwu, you should go to Kunning Palace first."
"Yes, the courtier is leaving first." Before leaving, Lou Qingwu raised her head and landed on Feng Yege's face from the corner of her eye, complexities flashed across her eyes, and then she returned to calm. After leaving Renshou Palace, Shi Shi was already waiting there, the expression on his face was neither good nor bad.
"Miss Lou, come with me. Master asked me to send you out of the palace."
"No need." Lou Qingwu shook her head, but she refused. Last time, the senior brother also had an accident on the way back. This time his injury has not healed. If Shi Shi is not here, how can he do it. What's more, apart from Ruan Zhen, no one in this capital should want to kill her.
"But..." Eleven was stunned for a moment, "My master has ordered me to send Miss Lou back home."
"I have brought my servants here. If the Night King asks you, just order it like this." No longer waiting for Eleven to speak, he turned and walked towards the palace gate, and Lan Bai immediately followed. The night was cold and cool, but Lou Qingwu suddenly didn't rush out of the palace, picked a gravel road, and walked slowly towards Zhuque Gate. Lan Bai followed behind, thought for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Master, why have you stayed in Renshou Palace for so long? What did the Queen Mother tell you?"
"The queen mother wants to show me the marriage." Lou Qingwu didn't intend to hide it from her.
"Ah?" Lan Bai's face changed, "What should I do?"
"It seems that the plan has to be carried out ahead of schedule." She didn't think that if the queen mother really issued the imperial decree, Xia Houqing would have the courage to resist the decree for her. That being the case, let's make the matter a certainty first, as long as he enters the Third Prince's Mansion, with Xia Houqing's conceited temperament, he must think that his body and mind are completely tied to him.
At that time, it will only be a matter of time to find out the thirteen shadow guards he has placed everywhere.
Only by defeating them one by one can Xia Houqing be completely defeated, making him unable to turn over forever.
