The slightly drunken sunshine shines warmly on the thin and transparent petals, and a faint fragrance permeates the air.
Si Wushang and Bupo went into the palace to meet the emperor together. They passed by the imperial garden and saw Yu'er, accompanied by her grandmother and the palace maid, melancholy beating the flowers and plants in the garden.
"Your Highness, you can't do this." The maid next to her advised her as she saw the petals on the ground.
"I don't care, I want to see my mother!" Yu'er pouted her cheeks angrily and pointed at the accompanying grandma and said angrily.
"Yu'er, what's going on? Why are you so angry with the slaves?"
When Yu'er heard Si Wushang's gentle voice, she hurriedly ran over, hugged his legs, and raised her head with misty eyes filled with grievance. He had not seen his mother for several days.
"Uncle, they force Yu'er to learn Chinese calligraphy from the masters every day, and they don't let Yu'er see the queen mother. Uncle, can you take Yu'er to see the queen mother?"
Si Wushang frowned and looked at the child's pleading look. It was now past the time when the Imperial High School was teaching, "How did you do things? It is only natural for Your Highness to see your mother. Why did you make His Highness so angry?"
But the accompanying nanny said aggrievedly: "Old slave, please see Prince Zheng. This is an order from the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother said that the family tradition of the Queen's family is not correct, and she is afraid that her teachings will corrupt the Crown Prince."
The emperor's marriage was given by the late emperor before his death six years ago, in order to use the Murong family to contain the power of the queen mother. The emperor was not in good health. If the emperor died, relatives of the Murong family would interfere in politics.
The Queen Mother and Murong Jinxin have always been at odds with each other, but now they are trying to use rumors to drive a wedge between their mother and son.
"It's really ridiculous. What kind of family tradition does the Murong family have? My princess is from the Murong family. Is it possible that you slaves are slandering my princess behind my back?"
The nanny also followed the order and hurriedly knelt down and said: "I don't dare. I definitely have no intention of slandering Princess Zheng."
Si Wushang, who was usually gentle and gentle towards others, had never been so cold and cold, "If I leave Yu'er to the care of slaves like you who only know how to talk nonsense, you will teach the prince a bad lesson."
He bowed down, stroked Yu'er's forehead, and held Yu'er in his arms, "Yu'er, go with your uncle to see the emperor."
Yu'er wanted to see her mother very much. Her father would see her every day, but he had not seen her for several days.
"Uncle, Yu'er wants to see her mother. They said that the mother went to Fengqi Palace, but they didn't let Yu'er go. Can uncle take Yu'er to Fengqi Palace?"
Si Wushang's eyes gathered together, and an ominous premonition suddenly occurred. The Queen Mother used rumors to slander the Murong family, thereby implicating the Queen. According to the palace rules, the Queen should stay in the Queen's palace to study "Female Virtues". At this time, she appeared in Fengqi Palace.
, Not good! If the guess is correct, the Queen Mother knew that she had entered the palace, and she must have ordered someone to announce that Princess Zheng had entered the palace.
"Yu'er, let's go see Father and let Father take you to see Mother."
Yuer bit her lip and reluctantly agreed: "Okay!"
Si Wushang took the opportunity to shoo away all the palace attendants around Yu'er, and carried the little prince to the imperial study.
He stopped halfway and said, "Yu'er, no one is here to stop you from seeing your mother, but you have to wait for someone in the imperial garden and let her take you to Fengqi Palace so that the imperial grandmother will not be angry."
Yu'er was only five years old, and she never doubted Si Wushang's words, "Uncle, who is Yu'er going to wait for?"
Si Wushang's eyes sparkled with warmth and he spoke softly: "It's my uncle's newly married princess!"
Yu'er is also ice-snowy and smart. The newly married princess of his uncle is his aunt. He has loved to be with Yingluo since he was a child. "It's my aunt!"
"Well, Yu'er can't say that it was your uncle who asked you to wait. This is a secret between the two of us.
"Can't you say that even if you're an aunt?"
"Yes, you can't."
Yu'er didn't understand, but still nodded in agreement, "Okay!"
Si Wushang was unable to show up for the time being, so Murong Yingluo had to deal with the Queen Mother alone. She only hoped that Yu'er would join her so that the Queen Mother would not go too far. It was inevitable that Fing Bu Po would take the little prince to lurk in the Imperial Garden and pass by Fengqi Palace.
Waiting along the way.
On the other side, the Queen Mother summoned Murong Yingluo into the palace. Now she is no longer the concubine of the General's Palace. She is the princess of Prince Zheng. She has been involved in palace battles since she chose to marry Prince Zheng.
King Zheng adopted the Queen Mother, who was also considered his mother-in-law. According to etiquette, he should have gone to the palace to pay a visit after the day of his death, but she was punished by her father and was injured at that time.
She had to be careful in everything she did when entering the palace. She ordered Zhen'er to dress her up. She chose a light purple plain palace dress. The shoulders were cut into a plain waist, the hair was exposed in a wind bun, and a hairpin was inserted diagonally.
, her lips are delicate and red, and her skin is smooth and flawless, except for the slight swelling around the eyes and the redness in the eyes, which looks like she has been wronged and cried.
Yingluo did not foresee that the Empress Dowager would summon her, so she could not enter the palace with her red and swollen eyes, fearing that there would be many misunderstandings, "Zhen'er, go get some tea bags and apply it on your eyes."
"Miss, I'm afraid it's too late. People in the palace are waiting outside!"
"It's okay. You go and get ready. We still have time on the way to the palace."
The eunuchs in the palace came to urge her, and Yingluo just got on the carriage to the palace with Zhen'er's help, and Zhen'er gently lowered the curtain.
Yingluo leaned sideways in the carriage. Zhen'er prepared overnight cold tea bags and carefully applied them to her eyes, hoping it would work.
After about half the time of burning the incense sticks, Zhen'er quietly opened the window of the carriage and looked out at the crowded street. She saw that the carriage was approaching the gate of the palace.
"Miss, we are about to enter the palace gate."
Murong Yingluo hurriedly pulled off the tea bag that was applied to her eyes. Since it was the Empress Dowager who summoned her, she would definitely send someone to greet her at the palace gate.
"Zhen'er, help me touch up my makeup quickly!"
After a while, the carriage stopped, and a familiar female voice came from outside the carriage, "The old slave is here to take Princess Zheng to Fengqi Palace on the order of the Queen Mother."
Yingluo could tell that this person should be the old nanny who went to Prince Zheng's Mansion to get the chastity veil a few days ago. Zhen'er opened the curtain and helped Murong Yingluo get out of the carriage.
"If you'd like, please come here in person."
"Princess Zheng, please leave with me now!"
The palace gate here is not very far from Fengqi Palace. Several people got off the carriage and walked towards Fengqi Palace. However, Yingluo was thinking carefully in her heart. She didn't know how the Queen Mother would handle this matter and whether she would die.
King Zheng divorced his wife to quell the rumors, but everything is unknown.
Also, my sister has always attached great importance to dignity. This time, because of her impulsiveness, she caused such a big disaster for the Murong family and brought shame to the Murong family.
I used to be like a blank sheet of paper to the dangers of the world, except for a stubborn temper. Temporary emotions would leave endless troubles. At this time, I deeply realized that the punishments given by King Zheng and his father were both right.
She had lived a life in vain before being plotted by Gong Yichu. As the saying goes, those who are close to beauty will become red. She will no longer be the stupid and naive Murong Yingluo, and she will never make the same mistake again in this life.
"Auntie!" A child's tender voice suddenly reached my ears.
Yingluo withdrew her eyes and followed the reputation, with surprise in her eyes, "Yu'er!"
