Congratulations on opening the coffin

After sending Zhi Ming away that day, within a few days, Shen Ruo bid farewell to Zhu Yan's family and boarded the carriage back to Beijing.

After a hurried journey, we arrived in the capital in less than five days.

Shen Ruo raised the curtains of the carriage, and watched the carriage go straight to the palace, feeling a little dazed.

After going round and round, she still lived in this cage made of gold and jade, but this time, she had a different mood.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, hundreds of civil and military officials had already been waiting for a long time. Qi Yangyang fell to his knees, and the voice shook the sky: "I pay my respects to the emperor and queen, and to my highness the crown prince. Welcome back to the palace."

Xiao Chen got out of the car first, raised his hand to support Shen Ruo to get out of the car, and said to her just now: "You and Fu Fu Lu go back to Kunning Palace first, and I will have dinner with you in the evening after I finish my work."

Shen Ruo naturally had no objection to this arrangement. After watching his father and son leave surrounded by the officials, Fudelu next to him pinched his voice and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, get on the sedan chair."

Only then did she look away, nodded, hugged Xiaofeng lying in her arms, looked around with novel eyes, raised her feet and sat on the noble and luxurious Phoenix, and stepped on the road she had been on countless times. The familiar, majestic and resplendent palace soon appeared in front of her eyes.

For the first time, she didn't come to meet the owner of the palace, so she didn't have to worry about any troubles coming to her, and her guard was tense.

Now, she is the master here, and she is the only one who makes trouble for others.

It's no wonder that so many people are eager for the word power.

Eight handsome young eunuchs carried Feng Lu straight into Kunning Palace without even asking her to take two extra steps. Afterwards, four nuns and eight maids greeted her, and after greeting her, Then one person took Xiaofeng away, and the rest dragged her to the hot spring pool.

Then, without further ado, he respectfully stripped off all the clothes on her body, as if cleaning a pig for a New Year's feast, gently scrubbed her up and down, and smeared her with ointment , During this process, not even a single strand of her hair was spared.

In the end, the maid of honor fetched phoenix robes and put them on for her one by one. There were as many as eighteen layers, and the complexity and luxury were unimaginable.

Because her hair was still wet, she was asked to sit in front of the dressing table first, and the maid held a purple gold incense burner to gently dry her hair. The furnace seemed to be a very special charcoal fire, not only smoke-free, but also emitted A faint fragrance, mixed with the balm in between, will form a complex and sultry fragrance.

After the hair was dry, the palace maid held on to the mahogany comb and gently combed her hair, then skillfully and quickly pulled out beautiful buns and inserted exquisitely crafted phoenix hairpins.

Gradually, in the mirror, she became less elegant and natural, and more graceful and aggressive. When she was not smiling, people only dared to look at her from a distance, but did not dare to show any blasphemy.

The court lady flattered softly: "Your Majesty, you are so beautiful."

Shen Ruo stared at the mirror for a while, then suddenly raised her hand and pulled out the gold hairpins from her head, and threw them back on the dressing table with a tinkling sound.

This frightened the maids, they all knelt down on the ground, trembling: "Your Majesty, calm down, but your Majesty is dissatisfied with the attire given to you by the servants, so I will change it for you."

"No, that's fine, you all get up too."

The clear and cold voice was so light that no emotion could be heard at all. All the maids looked at each other in confusion. They really couldn't figure out what the bride was thinking, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

One of them regained his courage and said cautiously: "My Lady, you are the Queen after all. It is inconsistent with etiquette to have such disheveled hair. If the officials find out, I am afraid they will gossip about you."

Shen Ruo glanced at her, and suddenly asked, "What's your name?"

"Young servant Taoshi, this is what the mother named it for the servant when she entered the palace. If the empress doesn't like it, she can change the name for the servant."

"It's a nice name. Get up. You guys too. Come and change it for me to something simpler. Make it easier to move around."

"……Yes."

After a while, she combed her new hairstyle again, and then took off the complicated and expensive phoenix robe on her body, and threw it on the ground like a pair of shoes.

Having had previous experience, the maids did not kneel down at the slightest disagreement. Instead, they reluctantly picked out a set of simple clothes from the huge wardrobe and put them on for Shen Ruo.

Finally, the torment was over, she moved her limbs, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this queen is not so easy to be.

Tao Shi, who was at the side of Jinghou, looked at her relieved appearance, after all, she was a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, and she couldn't resist her curiosity, so she couldn't help asking: "Mother, since you don't like the previous outfit, why didn't you tell me in advance?" Let the servants say it, and save you from fussing."

Another nanny scolded: "Tao Shi, don't be rude!"

Shen Ruo raised his hand: "It's okay, you don't have to be so cautious with me in the future, as long as you do what you should do, I won't blame you too much."

The mama hurriedly complimented: "My queen is wise and broad-minded, but as the saying goes, good people will be bullied by others. Your heart is too soft, my queen, and these little bitches will crawl on your head one by one without any sense of proportion." "

Shen Ruo frowned slightly, and glanced at the nanny: "I don't like you using such insulting words to describe women, I hope there will be no next time."

Mammy was so frightened that her legs became limp and she knelt on the ground. She raised her hand and slapped herself on the face: "This old slave deserves to die, this old slave deserves to die. You've offended your mother, and I hope your mother will calm down."

Shen Ruo's brows suddenly frowned even tighter: "That's enough, you go out."

Nanny felt relieved, kowtowed her head a few more times, and then stepped back out of the palace.

The little girl Taoyao couldn't help applauding and applauding: "Your Majesty, you are so wonderful! This Li Nanny is domineering because she is the old man next to the former queen. Taking advantage of your absence these days, cute You bullied us, and you either beat or scolded us. You shouldn't have let her go so easily just now. She has a lot of popularity in this palace, so you should beat her well, lest she feel resentful and give you behind her back. Make a stumbling block."

Listening to her words, Shen Ruo raised his eyelids, and couldn't help but look at her deeply again, but didn't say anything.

At this time, Fudelu came running over, panting: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, please go over."

"Empress Dowager? What does her old man want from me?"

He smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, it's not a big deal. I think it's because of Feng Yin. You have been out of the palace for so many days, and the harem can't be left alone for a day. The emperor has to trouble the empress dowager to take charge temporarily." With the seal of the phoenix, now that you are back, it will naturally be returned to the original owner."
