Chapter 182 Determination
Here, Ling Youyao and Cai Fuya went to Yanfu Palace to meet the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was busy talking to the wives and did not stay with them. They did not want to stay in Yanfu Palace, so they turned around and went to Fengyi Palace.
Today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and the ladies are talking in Yanfu Palace. In addition, the Queen is pregnant and should not be tired, so Fengyi Palace seems much quieter.
When the two came, the queen was talking to Qingdai. When she saw them coming, she immediately put on a smile and asked them to sit down: "I am talking to Qingdai to invite you over, but you came first.
"
Ling Youyao gave a salute and then smiled and said: "I am thinking about the empress in my heart. I just met the empress, so I wanted to come and see you."
"You are always good at making me happy!" The Queen smiled, and her eyes fell on Cai Fuya, "Is this the eldest girl of the Cai family? We haven't seen her for a long time, and she is becoming more and more charming!"
Cai Fuya was quite flattered when she saw that the Queen recognized her. "I am so complimentary, I didn't expect that the Queen would still remember my daughter." Since her mother's death, she rarely entered the palace. The last time she went to the palace to meet the Queen was three years ago.
The queen looked at her beautiful face, her eyes flickered, and she did not continue the topic. She only asked Qingdai to bring tea and snacks.
"At this court meeting, various countries sent many rare things. This red snow ginseng is unique to Xizhou. It is said to grow on the top of the snow-capped mountains. It is extremely difficult to pick. Only two small boxes of it are presented as tribute every year.
.”
The queen gently blew on the hot concoction in the bowl and said: "Your Majesty was worried about my pregnancy, so you gave me a box. I have someone make cakes for you to try."
Ling Youyao looked at the dark concoction in her hand and couldn't help but ask: "What kind of medicine did the empress drink, but what's wrong with her body?"
"It's nothing serious. It's just that I haven't been able to sleep well lately, so the imperial doctor prescribed some prescriptions for me to nourish my mind and help my pregnancy."
Hearing what she said, Ling Youyao breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but said: "It's because the medicine is half poisonous. Your Majesty is pregnant, so you should drink less medicine."
The queen just thought she was too nervous and didn't take it to heart. She only said: "When I was pregnant with the prince, I took a lot of medicine. The prince was still safe. Besides, this prescription is from Sun Yuan."
If you can let it go, just be careful!"
There were overt and covert fights in the harem, and conspiracies were hard to guard against. The queen understood Ling Youyao's worries.
Qing Dai also said beside her: "Princess, don't worry, my concubine's food, decoctions and medicines are all checked by the slaves before they are sent to me. Nothing will go wrong."
Hearing this, Ling Youyao felt relieved, "I'm worried about your safety, so I talk too much. I hope you can forgive me."
The queen smiled gently and said calmly: "I know you have good intentions, so how can I blame you? Your worries are indeed good. The most unpredictable thing in the world is the human heart. It is always good to be more careful.
"
"I understand." Ling Youyao nodded solemnly, secretly determined to protect the queen.
The queen looked at Ling Youyao's bright and clear eyes, and felt warm in her heart. Even though her mouth was bitter, her heart was warm.
Ling Youyao should be the most carefree at her age, but Fu Mingjue dragged her into this turbulent conspiracy. Ling Youyao may know some of the darkness, but she is not required to experience it personally.
When the queen first met Ling Youyao, she was attracted by her bright eyes - unstained by dust, clear and bright, as if she could see directly into people's hearts.
With such eyes, some people are happy to see them, while others avoid them
After the queen drank the medicine, she collected her thoughts and said, "It's almost time, we should go to Zhaoyang Palace."
Ling Youyao and Cai Fuya then stood up.
The Queen Mother's fiftieth birthday coincided with the visit of various countries to the DPRK, and this birthday banquet was more lively than in previous years. Fu Mingjue followed His Majesty in the front hall to receive envoys from various countries, while Ling Youyao and the Queen accompanied the Queen Mother.
The lights in the hall were bright, and the sound of music lingered over the entire hall accompanied by everyone's chatting and laughing. It was a peaceful and beautiful scene, but Nan Yu, who was sitting among the crowd, was unhappy.
Ever since the quarrel with Mu Liuchun that day, she had held back for two days without looking for him. But the other party acted like a normal person and treated her with nothing but "courtesy".
Thinking of this, Nan Yu felt even more depressed. He picked up the wine glass and drank one glass after another as if to vent his anger.
The maid behind her couldn't stand it any longer and advised her: "Princess, please drink less. If the Imperial Master finds out, all my monthly silver this year will be deducted."
After drinking several glasses of wine, Nan Yu felt a little dizzy. Except for the words "Master Imperial Master", he didn't listen to anything else at all.
She held her heavy head in one hand and hummed softly: "Mu Liuchun doesn't care about me!"
A Lan sighed: "Princess, my lord still cares about you. If I see you drunk, you should worry again."
"Really?" Nan Yu reluctantly opened his eyes. He didn't know whether he was really drunk or a little sad, because his eye circles were red.
Seeing her like this, A-Lan took a deep breath and nodded bravely: "Of course it's true!" Whether it was for the princess or for her little remaining moon silver, this must be true.
Nan Yu curled his lips and turned away: "I don't believe it."
"." A Lan's face froze, wow! The older the princess gets, the harder it is to deceive her.
Nan Yu gently swayed the glass cup, watching the amber wine making ripples in the bright lights. In a daze, she seemed to see Mu Liuchun walking towards her.
She rubbed her eyes and murmured in a low voice: "How come Dayan's wine can still make people hallucinate?" As she said this, she didn't believe it and poured herself another glass of wine.
As soon as the wine glass was brought to her mouth, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side and clasped her wrist, and a cold voice came from her ears: "Do you want to die?"
Nan Yu was startled and turned his head stiffly, suddenly looking into Mu Liuchun's emotionless eyes. Suddenly, all the grievances and unhappiness surged up at this moment.
Seeing that she was about to cry, Mu Liuchun said in a deep voice: "Don't cry."
Nanyu: "."
A Lan suppressed a smile and turned around.
Mu Liuchun expressionlessly snatched the wine glass from Nan Yu's hand, pulled her up from her seat, bypassed the laughing crowd, and pulled her out of the hall.
The cold wind blew in, cooling down the heat in Nan Yu's heart. She gradually calmed down, thinking of everything that had just happened, with a bit of embarrassment on her face, and tried to explain: "I'm sorry, I"
Before she could finish speaking, a small porcelain bottle was suddenly handed over to her.
Mu Liuchun said calmly: "Eat."
Nan Yu pursed her lips, looked at his cold face, hesitated for a moment, then took the small porcelain bottle, took a pill and drank it.
But after taking the medicine, the words were gone.
