Lou Qingwu followed the maidservant into Kunning Palace.
The queen was sitting in the main hall in a red phoenix robe, and when she saw her coming in, her brows and eyes softened immediately, "Qing Wu, come here and let me have a look, I haven't seen you for a few days, I really miss you child."
Lou Qingwu finished the salute in an orderly manner, and then stepped forward, standing in front of the queen not too far away, docile and well-behaved.
He didn't show too much fear, nor was he too ostentatious because he was favored by the queen. He walked towards that station softly and submissively, like a graceful Jiangnan ink painting. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied the queen was. When they arrived, they exchanged a few pleasantries, and then couldn't help but change the topic there: "Qing Wu, did you feel wronged in the mansion yesterday? If you have anything to say, just tell me, I will make the decision for you."
From the time when the story of the Lou Mansion spread, to the time when the left side was partial in the early court, the emperor said it with his mouth, but no one really could see it clearly.
It's just to give face to the left and the right, after all, it really broke out and there is no way to end it.
Just wronged the child.
Lou Qingwu shook her head, "My daughter is fine in the mansion, so you don't have to worry about it."
"..." The queen was stunned for a moment. She originally thought that the child could not help complaining to her more or less wronged, but she didn't expect that she didn't say anything. This kind of Lou Qingwu made her feel more distressed, Zuo Xiang doted on her. How similar is the way the concubine killed the concubine to the emperor's treatment of her and Concubine Ying's children? Thinking of the scene that day, the empress still felt cold, and together with pity, she hugged Lou Qingwu, and finally sighed: "I have wronged you." But the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, even if she really wanted to persuade the emperor, Can't say it.
What's more, what happened on the night of the birthday banquet, she has already seen through the emperor's mind, and she will not make fun of herself.
It's just a pity for this child, but even if the emperor approves of Zuo Xiang's words, the people are not fools, cheating is cheating, as long as we spread the word a little, even if the second lady of the Lou family marries into the Li family, there will be no good results! "Qingwu, don't worry, I will definitely find you a good family!" After thinking for a while, I couldn't help but look behind the screen, as if I had decided something, coughed lowly, and then returned to normal, leading Lou Qingwu "Qing Wu, I heard that you will be ready for age in ten days or so. In this capital, is there any son in your eyes?"
Lou Qingwu's drooping pupils flickered, and she lowered her head even lower.
He seemed ashamed to speak, but was forced to be anxious by the empress later, so his eyes turned red and he quickly looked up at the empress: "No, no!"
The queen covered her lips and laughed, "It's fine if you don't have it, it's fine if you don't have it." After finishing speaking, she took a peek behind the screen and said tentatively: "Then, how about this palace telling you about the marriage? What do you think about these princes? Interested?"
Lou Qingwu's face turned even redder, she bit her lip and did not speak.
"Don't want to?"
The smile on the corner of the queen's mouth faded, but she didn't mean to blame. She raised it suddenly, just to check her tone.
Lou Qingwu shook her head, and after a long time, she said in a hoarse voice: "Qingwu thanked the empress for her kindness, but...what happened last night, Qingwu doesn't want to...don't be angry with Qingwu, empress."
"Stupid child, how could I be angry with you? Then wait a little longer."
At this time, even if the child is willing, now is not a good time, so let's wait.
The queen then pulled Qingwu to say something before letting her go, but as soon as Lou Qingwu left, the queen turned to the back of the screen and said: "This girl is a good girl, but it's a pity that her life is not good. If she is really forced into a desperate situation in the future , Ruier, just marry someone, even if it's a concubine, it's better than marrying far away." Put it by your side and watch it, after all, it won't be too disadvantageous.
"It's the queen mother, the emperor understands."
"Forget it, let's go and have a look. It's best to let the child be willing." At first glance, he is a smart child. If he can follow Rui'er in the future, he can also help him. At least, it won't be like those schemers in the palace who are full of bad intentions and make the house restless.
"Yes, queen mother."
The person behind the screen is the second prince Xia Hourui. He came out of Kunning Palace and headed towards the gate of the palace. He walked quickly, and after a while, he saw Lou Qingwu's slender figure, and flew around to the front , after tidying up her stern face, in front of the imperial garden, a chance encounter came: "Miss Lou, what a coincidence."
When Lou Qingwu saw Xia Hourui, the corners of her eyebrows raised slightly, but she didn't show any surprise: "Second Prince, it's indeed a 'coincidence'."
The light and fluttering tone carried a bit of deep meaning. Xia Hourui froze for a moment, then thought of her keen vigilance, her handsome face blushed inexplicably.
Hearing Lou Qingwu's refusal in Kunning Palace, he didn't come back to his senses until just now. After he reacted, he remembered that he was hiding behind the screen. It's okay to hide it from ordinary people, but for her, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult. But at that time, he couldn't tell how he felt in his heart. He was relieved, but he also felt that something was blocked in his heart. But after only seeing her a few times, he couldn't tell how he felt about her. But it is undeniable that there must be good feelings.
Seeing that Lou Qingwu was still looking at him, Xia Hourui covered her lips and gave a low cough to hide her emotions, "Let's go?"
"Yeah." Knowing that Xia Hourui had something to say to her, Lou Qingwu did not refuse, she also had something to tell him, since she decided to stand by his side, she should deal with what might happen next as soon as possible matter.
She made a move during the emperor's birthday banquet, which might disrupt the plans of the people behind the scenes.
I'm afraid they will move ahead.
Now that it has been decided, before they act, they must prepare earlier, just in case.
The two walked forward along the gravel road, but they were silent all the way.
It wasn't until they were almost outside Suzaku's gate that Xia Hourui gathered his thoughts, "I didn't find out who did what happened last time. The maid who put the zizicao in Liuhua Palace committed suicide earlier, and then nothing happened. "All he knew was that Concubine Ying didn't know what she had said to her father. The furious father decided to settle the matter for peace. Even the mother's grievances were just rewarded with something to appease her. But if he doesn't catch the mastermind behind the scenes, he won't have peace for a day.
Later, he went to investigate, but there was no clue. The people behind the scenes are hidden too deeply, and he can't touch them with his current power. This is what makes him feel powerless.
Lou Qingwu looked up at the clear sky, her expression was too indifferent: "Even if you find out who it is now, you can't touch them."
"Huh? Do you know who it is?" Xia Hourui was extremely surprised.
The corner of Lou Qingwu's mouth twitched sarcastically, how could she not know? From the moment she saw Juezicao, she knew that she was inseparable from the Ruan family, and the people in the Ruan family who could do something in the harem were no worse than Concubine Ruan, but there was no evidence, even if Xia Hourui knew about it, there was no way to find out. What's more, she is still not sure who else is involved besides the Ruan family. It would be alarming, and Concubine Ruan can't move. "Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you."
"Why?"
"Because you will do bad things."
Lou Qingwu's words were too straightforward, Xia Hourui's face changed slightly, but he looked at Lou Qingwu and rubbed the center of his eyebrows silently, feeling very helpless, "You didn't tell me, how do you know that I will do bad things?"
