Naituanzi led Helian Yunting to the guest room to rest.
Lieutenant General Xu couldn't help but follow Naituanzi, but he was still some distance away from Naoduanzi.
After watching Naituanzi send Helian Yunting back to the house, he stayed at the door of the guest room where Helian Yunting lived for a long time. In the end, he turned around and left without saying anything.
Helian Yunting in the room seemed to feel something. After Vice General Xu left, she opened the door and looked at the back of the man as he left.
Song Yutong taught Mrs. Feng to embroider cross-stitch for a long time. Seeing that Mrs. Feng was getting better now, she left Furen to embroider cross-stitch by herself. She wanted to go back to the small kitchen to make lotus seed soup for everyone.
.
However, before Song Yutong left the small pavilion, the housekeeper hurried over with the maids from the palace.
"Madam, the Queen Mother invites you."
Song Yutong and Mrs. Feng, look at me. Look at me, you don’t know how the Queen Mother invites her into the palace?
When she saw that the person who came to invite her was actually the Queen Mother's personal maid.
This is a rare honor.
Mrs. Feng was a little surprised.
"Mrs. Zhongyong, the Queen Mother heard that you like to garden with flowers and grass, and have planted many rare flowers. She would like to invite you to the Imperial Garden to admire the flowers in the Imperial Garden."
These words were very beautiful, and everyone knew that the Queen Mother invited Song Yutong to the palace because she was interested in Song Yutong's flower-growing skills.
To put it bluntly, it means winning the favor of the Queen Mother, which is a great blessing.
Mrs. Feng also hurriedly urged Song Yutong.
"Since it is the Queen Mother's invitation, you should go quickly, but don't make her wait. We are all familiar with your mansion. If you are tired, you will go back on your own. You can go to the palace in peace!"
Madam Feng is already familiar with Song Yutong. You have agreed to stay at General Zhongyong's residence for two days.
Song Yutong had already arranged everything, and with the help of a housekeeper, there was no need to worry about neglect.
What's more, Mrs. Feng also has a cheerful and familiar personality, so Song Yutong is really relieved to have her in his own home.
"Okay, sister, I'll go first. If anything happens to you, just ask the housekeeper."
Song Yutong explained hurriedly.
Mrs. Feng knew that she could not keep the Queen Mother waiting, so she urged Song Yutong to go quickly: "Don't worry, just go, I know."
Song Yutong felt a little relieved after hearing this, and hurriedly went back to the house to change her clothes.
Naturally, you need to dress appropriately when entering the palace, and wear formal palace attire.
She asked the maid next to the Queen Mother to wait, changed her clothes, prepared her carriage and horses, and then hurriedly drove towards the palace.
Song Yutong was thinking along the way as to why the Queen Mother was so anxious to summon her.
If he invited her to go to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers, he could send a message early in the morning and ask her to go tomorrow. He was in a hurry at this short notice, and he didn't know if something happened in the palace?
Could it be that he couldn't invite her into the palace in a normal way, so he just found an excuse? Could it be that the third princess's condition has relapsed?
Song Yutong guessed in her mind, the carriage was running slowly and jolted to the point where she felt drowsy.
Fortunately, we finally arrived at the palace. After getting off the carriage, we didn't have to walk into the palace. The Queen Mother even wanted to reward her with a sedan chair. This really flattered Song Yutong.
She had never received such treatment after curing the hidden illness of the third princess. Now that such good treatment came so suddenly, Song Yutong felt very unsure.
She pulled out a golden hairpin from her head, and the personal maid beside Queen Mother Jiang called to her side.
Then he secretly stuffed the golden hairpin into the maid's sleeve.
"I dare to ask this aunt, do you know that the Queen Mother invited me to come to the Royal Garden, really just to enjoy the flowers, or does it have other things? Please give me some advice."
The Queen Mother's personal maid looked at the extra large and heavy gold hairpin in her sleeve, and a flash of bright color flashed in her eyes, which was quickly covered up.
"The Queen Mother is now happy to have found a relative. However, this relative and friend has an unattractive wife beside her. The Queen Mother is a little worried that this poor wife is not worthy of the royal children. If you enter the Cining Palace, please speak with caution.
Just be careful and you won't make any mistakes."
The amount of information in this reminder was huge. Although Song Yutong did not fully understand what the Empress Dowager's personal maid said, there was already a vague idea in her mind, which stirred up huge waves.
She took off a blood-red bracelet from her hand and put it into the hand of the palace maid.
"Thank you, aunt, for the tip."
Seeing that Song Yutong was so generous, the maid said a few more words, which were very beneficial to Song Yutong.
Song Yutong nodded and got off the sedan chair in the Imperial Garden. She stood there for a while and waited for the news in her mind to be digested, then she walked towards the inside of the Imperial Garden.
From a distance, I saw the Queen Mother sitting in the pavilion in the center of the Imperial Garden, drinking tea. She picked up a small bowl with fish food and walked to the pavilion, twisted some fish food and sprinkled it.
Song Yutong took a deep breath, suppressed the fluctuating emotions in her heart, and walked calmly towards the pavilion in the center of the Imperial Garden.
"The Queen Mother, Mrs. Zhongyong has arrived!"
The Queen Mother put down the fish bowl in her hand and turned around to see Song Yutong in formal attire.
In the past, when the Queen Mother met Song Yutong, her face would be somewhat kind, because the loyal and brave lady in front of her was the benefactor who cured the third princess' hidden illness.
But now, Zhong Song Yutong is no longer viewed with the eyes of a benefactor. Instead, he views his grandson's daughter-in-law with the eyes of an elder.
There is a bit of scrutiny and consideration in the eyes, but no matter how you look at it, you feel it is not pleasing to the eye.
In the past, the good things about Song Yutong have now become shortcomings, and he is simply extremely picky.
"My wife Song Yutong has met the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is well."
Song Yutong did not raise his head, but he had already noticed a scrutinizing gaze falling on him.
The Queen Mother's voice was not heard for a long time, and Song Yutong kept squatting like this.
As time passed, a layer of dense sweat formed on my forehead.
Just when Song Yutong thought she was about to lose her balance, the Queen Mother finally spoke.
"Get up, sit down quickly."
The Queen Mother's voice became less pronounced, and her former kindness became more severe and majestic, very inhumane.
It was different from the Queen Mother Song Yutong had seen before.
She didn't know where she had offended the Queen Mother and why she was so critical of her now.
Even if she feels that her identity cannot be put on the stage, it must be because she is somewhat disgusted with her life experience.
It's not as if she doesn't like her at all times, as if she doesn't do anything right and only wants to give her a blow.
