Chapter 316 The Empress Comes to the Rescue(1/2)
When Leng Yingchun heard that the Empress Dowager wanted to see her, she was quite confused. She didn't know the Empress Dowager, so why did the Empress Dowager meet her?
"Yingchun, congratulations, the Queen Mother is not seen by anyone. It seems that she values you." The father-in-chief congratulated Leng Yingchun in a flattering manner.
"Thank you!" Leng Yingchun smiled.
She wanted to wait for Su Jingxian to meet the queen mother together, so she looked around the house frequently.
Su Jingxian was having fun playing chess with the prince and chatting, and laughter kept coming.
"Miss Yingchun, the Queen Mother will have a rest later. Go and see her quickly?" the palace maid urged.
"Wait, I'll talk to Brother Su!" Leng Yingchun had no choice but to run to tell Su Jingxian, wanting him to give him some details.
"Will the Queen Mother see you?" Su Jingxian couldn't understand the Queen Mother's meaning, so he looked at the prince.
"Grandmother of the emperor will go and see you!" The prince couldn't think of anything to make things difficult for Leng Yingchun, so he let her face it with confidence.
Su Jingxian brought Leng Yingchun out, "I am a foreign minister. I need special instructions when I go to the harem. The Queen Mother did not summon me. I can't go to see her. You don't have to be afraid. If you encounter problems, just move me out. The Queen Mother can still give me three points of thin air."
"Then I'm relieved!" Leng Yingchun put his hands on Su Jingxian's neck, "After an hour, if I haven't come back, you will go and save me!"
"No need, I can ask my aunt to save you!" Su Jingxian grabbed her hand, put it on her lips and kissed her, "I have to talk to the prince brother. I will wait for you to come out and take you out."
"Okay!" Leng Yingchun was about to go to see the Queen Mother.
"Don't be afraid, the emperor's grandmother is easy to talk to. If you mention me, she won't make things difficult for you." The prince walked out and gave Leng Yingchun a peaceful look...
"I understand, thank you, the prince!" Leng Yingchun took Leng Yinghuan and the palace maid to meet the queen mother.
Su Jingxian asked the father-in-chief to go and ask the queen to save the scene.
Leng Yingchun walked forward in small steps. The palace maid was not very happy and reminded her to know etiquette in the palace, and it would be impolite to let people wait.
Leng Yinghuan leaned over and glared at her, "I saw it just now. Yingchun and the prince, the little marquis have a good relationship. Can you criticize her?"
The palace maid was speechless and lowered her head silently.
Leng Yingchun was watching the surrounding environment while walking, and corresponded to the palace structure diagram.
"It's coming soon!" Leng Yinghuan pulled Leng Yingchun's clothes and pulled her thoughts back.
In order to avoid Leng Yingchun, Fang Yang left early, but Leng Yingchun saw it from afar.
Leng Yingchun instantly understood. The Empress Dowager asked her to come. It turned out that it was Fang Yang who did it.
"What are Fang Yang doing?" Leng Yinghuan gestured with gestures, and the palace maid frowned when she couldn't understand.
"She's full." Leng Yingchun also expressed her gesture.
"Ahem, the Queen Mother doesn't like to be mysterious." The palace maid walked in front.
The two of them smiled knowingly, and then they followed the palace maid to meet the empress dowager.
When the Empress Dowager saw the person coming in slowly, she showed her majestic momentum.
Leng Yingchun looked at the empress dowager from a distance and knew that the empress dowager was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. Her eyes signaled Leng Yinghuan to be careful of being made difficult at any time.
Leng Yinghuan was not afraid of being embarrassed by the empress dowager, just shut up.
Leng Yingchun took a deep breath to calm herself down. When she reached the position of the empress dowager one meter, she performed the etiquette according to the etiquette taught by her aunt.
The etiquette movements are particularly standard, and she herself has to sigh that it is too perfect.
The empress dowager did not expect Leng Yingchun to salute, thinking that she had specially trained to enter the palace, so she immediately concluded that she was scheming.
She hates scheming people the most, and immediately has a bad impression of Leng Yingchun.
Leng Yingchun looked up slightly and felt that the Queen Mother hated her.
She wondered, she had not remembered the etiquette wrongly, so why was she resented?
But she didn't go with the queen mother. The queen mother was happy and waited calmly for the queen mother to speak.
The Empress Dowager paid attention to Leng Yingchun's expression, but she could not see anything, so she was a little anxious.
The palace maid reminded the empress dowager Leng Yingchun to kneel for a long time, and for the sake of the prince, she was going to get up.
The Empress Dowager then squinted her eyes and made Leng Yingchun rise.
Leng Yingchun stood respectfully, stood in the middle with her body straight, and then asked slowly after Leng Ying cheered, "I don't know why the Empress Dowager summoned the venerable girl?"
"I heard that you are a big grain owner and have mastered most of the grain production in Dayu Country?" The Empress Dowager really couldn't think of any reason, so she started from her main business.
"The people's girls are frightened. There are many talents in the country of Dayu. There are talented people everywhere. The people's girls are really not a big grain household." Leng Yingchun said modestly.
"You are recognized by everyone, so don't be humble." The empress dowager had a bad attitude, and she felt more and more that Leng Yingchun was scheming.
What expression is this?
Leng Yingchun muttered in her heart, she didn't do anything, why was she so hated?
"Well? Why don't you talk?" The Empress Dowager just wanted to make things difficult for Leng Yingchun to see her adaptability.
"Empress Dowager, this big grain household is really unbearable for the women. After all, my rice fields are all under the guidance of Lucheng officials. Many people plant and cultivate and harvest together." Leng Yingchun insisted on her own view.
The empress dowager's face looked a little better, and she knew that Leng Yingchun was not that powerful. She believed that Leng Yingchun could not grow such high-quality rice alone.
"No matter what, you have made contributions to the Dayu Kingdom, and the Ai family has clear rewards and punishments. Come on, see the reward."
Immediately, two palace maids brought two plates and stood in front of Leng Yingchun, and placed jewelry and gold bars on the plates.
"Let's see if you like anything!" The queen mother picked up the teacup, and when she picked up the lid, she swept her.
Leng Yingchun knew that the Queen Mother was testing her to see if she was a vain person.
She looked at it and didn't like the two plates of things very much. She reluctantly chose a simple hairpin from the jewelry, "Thank you, the Queen Mother for the reward!"
But in the eyes of the queen mother, she felt that she deliberately showed that she did not love money.
Anyway, as a grandson-in-law, she is not satisfied.
Just when the scene was awkward, the queen walked in. After she saluted, she noticed the disdain in the eyes of Leng Yingchun, and probably guessed what was going on.
The Queen Mother also knew that the Queen was here to rescue Leng Yingchun, and her tone was slightly calmer, "Is there anything particularly important about the Queen coming at this time?"
"Empress Dowager, I heard that this girl is very good at farming, so I wanted to summon her to discuss her farming skills. However, the matter of the new concubines was delayed. Now I am just free. I heard that she was here, so I came to meet her and asked her how she farmed." The queen expressed her purpose without reservation.
Why did you mention farming again? I don’t want to play the piano with you.
Leng Yingchun felt speechless.
But since someone asked, she had to be prepared to speak so that they could understand.
Seeing that the empress dowager had lowered the steps, the queen signaled the palace maid to bring a stool and asked Leng Yingchun to sit down and ask her to tell everyone about farming.
Leng Yingchun knew that they were just bored and were not really interested in listening to how to farm.
She thought about it and then told some interesting stories in the farmland.
The Queen Mother was impatient at first, but later, when she heard what she said was very interesting, she pricked up her ears and listened, and the Queen was the same.
Leng Yingchun said that it was about food. The Queen Mother, who was tired of eating delicacies, felt it was strange, so she asked her if she could make those foods.
She asked if there was a small kitchen here and could make several ordinary snacks immediately.
The queen mother asked the palace maid to take her and Leng Yinghuan to the kitchen.
The two of them used local materials and made rice and pancakes.
After tasting it, the empress dowager's eyes shone brightly, and she finished eating the rice. She turned her attention to the pancakes, picked it up and looked at it for a long time before she tasted it, and she also thought it was quite delicious.
"Well, it's pretty good. In the past two days, you'll go to the imperial kitchen, teach them all the food you know, and supervise them to make it."
Leng Yingchun wanted to say that she wanted to prepare rice on the surface, but she agreed only if she felt she was not in a hurry.
"There is no longer a loss of Ai's family, you all go back." The Queen Mother didn't want to see them anymore.
"The young woman left!" Leng Yingchun saluted in time.
As soon as she left, the queen followed.
Leng Yingchun bent down and saluted to the queen, "Thank you for helping the queen."
After accepting her courtesy, the queen looked at her with satisfaction, "I am a good girl who knows how to adapt to the situation!"
Leng Yingchun was overwhelmed by praise, so the queen walked in front of her.
She didn't follow her, and walked forward indifferently with Leng Yinghuan.
"The Empress Dowager is really unpredictable. She makes things difficult for us and praises him later." Leng Yinghuan complained.
"She made things difficult for us, maybe because Fang Yang said something to her. Praise us was our food that captured her heart, but we can't take it lightly." Leng Yingchun looked at it sincerely.
"Fang Yang is really sick. Why are you so sad about us? With her conditions, what kind of man can't get?"
Leng Yinghuan supported her chest and made herself more natural.
"She will continue to make things difficult for us, so we must always be vigilant and must not be designed by Fang Yang."
Leng Yingchun felt that living in the deep palace was like walking on thin ice, and it was cold and cold.
Leng Yinghuan noticed the secret guards around him and gestured.
Leng Yingchun told Leng Yinghuan to treat him as if he didn't know anything, and the secret guards could do nothing to them.
