reborn princess

Chapter 414
This made Xuan Chen startled fiercely, his brows were slightly frowned, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart, "Eunuch An, did someone say something that shouldn't be said in the queen mother's ear?"

Eunuch An listened to him, and said in a low voice: "Yesterday, the news about Miss Shen's horse racing entered the palace. The queen mother heard about it, so she wanted to take him into the palace to have a look."

Xuan Chen knew in his heart that it must be the matter of them racing horses with Prince Li's son, and they were turned upside down. It is estimated that someone went to the queen mother to follow up and slander, which made the queen mother angry.

If my fiancée is an arrogant and domineering woman who will hurt others, the queen mother will definitely not like it!
If it was someone else's business, the queen mother might not care about their family background, but the queen mother came from the Xuan family, so she was his great-aunt in terms of seniority, so she had every right to intervene in his marriage.

Thinking of this, he whispered: "Grandpa, if there is anything wrong with Lan'er entering the palace, please help me out."

"Your Majesty, you are welcome! The prince happens to be in the palace today, nothing can happen!" Eunuch An laughed, then turned to look at Shen Weilan. "Miss Shen, please!"

"Eunuch Lao will lead the way!" Shen Weilan also thought of the key point, and couldn't help but look serious.

Seeing that a little girl from a rough place like the border had such a bearing, Eunuch An couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't say anything, he just turned around and led the way.

Shen Weilan followed him step by step, left the mansion gate, and boarded a carriage sent by the palace.

There is a fireplace in the corner of the carriage, the soft couch is covered with a fox fur mattress, the large welcoming pillow is embroidered by southern embroidery, and the lotus-colored pillowcase is embroidered with large peonies.

She entered the palace in this carriage with some anxiety. The carriage stopped in front of the gate of the inner palace. Eunuch An opened the door from the outside, "Miss Shen, please get out of the carriage!"

Shen Weilan got out of the car with her skirt in her hand, then raised her head and looked at the palace where her previous life had ruined her life.

People in the world are vying for power and profit, and they all want to enter this palace, but she is the only one who regards this place as a poisonous snake and beast. No matter whether it is in the previous life or the present life, she doesn't have a good impression of this place.

"Miss Shen, come with me!" Eunuch An turned around and led the way.

Shen Weilan and Shen Mou followed behind, stepped on the bluestone floor tiles step by step, stepped into the palace gate of the inner palace, and walked in the long corridor.

Along the way, many court ladies and eunuchs were busy walking around, and everyone cast curious eyes on her.

Arriving at the Empress Dowager's bedroom and bypassing the Hanging Flower Gate, Eunuch An led Shen Weilan into the Empress Dowager's bedroom without a notification.

In the sleeping hall, there is a strong scent of sandalwood.

Eunuch An whispered: "The Empress Dowager is usually chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall inside at this time, so go in!"

Shen Weilan narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking to herself, I don't know what the Queen Mother means by this?
It is true that this is the Empress Dowager's bedroom. Eunuch An is also a person close to the Empress Dowager. It stands to reason that no matter how capable Concubine Wen Gui is, she would not be able to frame her for trespassing in the Empress Dowager's bedroom, so she can rule out this point.

Since it wasn't framed, at this time, there was another sound of wooden fish coming from inside, so after thinking for a while, Shen Weilan thanked Mr. An for justice, and walked in quietly.

The queen mother was dressed in plain clothes, kneeling in the Buddhist hall, chanting sutras with her eyes closed.The Empress Dowager, who is over fifty years old, looks like 35 or [-] years old because of proper maintenance.

After Shen Weilan entered, she didn't bother the Queen Mother, but quietly stood aside, like an invisible person, even breathing very lightly.

It was not until half a stick of incense did the Queen Mother open her eyes.

Shen Weilan hurried forward and helped the Queen Mother up!
No matter from which aspect, the Queen Mother is the one she must please!
The queen mother didn't seem to realize that she was not a maid in her own palace, she let her help her out of the Buddhist hall, and sat on the wooden couch in the flower hall outside.

Seeing a small quilt neatly stacked on the wooden couch, Shen Weilan took it over, unfolded it silently, knelt on the footrest, and helped the Empress Dowager cover her legs.

A court lady brought a cup of tea, she took out a handkerchief from her bosom, put the handkerchief on her hands, took the cup and saucer, and gently placed it on the kang table beside the empress dowager, then took a few steps back, slightly lowered her head Come, stand still.

Only then did the Queen Mother raise her head, and looked at her with a smile that was not a smile, "You will be courteous!"

"The queen mother is the mother of the country, all people in the world should serve the queen mother!" Shen Weilan said cautiously.

"The mouth is also a coincidence!" The queen mother stretched out her hand to take the teacup, the ring finger and little finger wearing the jewel-embedded gold fingertip slightly tilted the orchid finger, and the second middle finger of the index finger pinched the lid of the cup, fiddled with the light golden tea soup with the lid casually Slender tea stalks floating on top. "Do you know why the Ai family asked you to enter the palace?"

Shen Weilan said in a low voice: "Ministers don't dare to speculate on the Queen Mother's intentions!"

The Empress Dowager raised her eyes slightly, glanced at her faintly, smiled suddenly, and put the teacup in her hand heavily on the kang table, put away the carelessness just now, and said angrily: "You are so brave!"

Shen Weilan hastily knelt down to the Queen Mother, but her tone was neither humble nor overbearing, "The girl is terrified, she doesn't know what she did wrong, and I ask the Queen Mother to point it out, so the girl can make up for it!"

"I heard that you are very arrogant. As soon as you came to the capital, you rode your horse to commit murder, and even seriously injured Prince Li's son. Do you know who is Prince Li's son? He is a member of the royal family. Do you still have the law in your eyes?" Queen Mother With deep eyes, he stared at her fiercely and questioned her bluntly.

Shen Weilan smiled slightly, thinking in her heart, it really is this matter, she took a deep breath, and said: "Since there are some villains who have complained first, the women have nothing to say!"

"Oh?" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows with interest. "You don't justify yourself?"

"Minnv believes that the Empress Dowager will see clearly and give the Minnv justice, otherwise, it would not be the Queen Mother summoning the Minnv today, but the people from Dali Temple to arrest the Minnv." Shen Weilan analyzed.

"You are confident!" the Queen Mother murmured, not knowing whether to praise or belittle.

"The empress dowager is merciful, and she will definitely not let the women of the people be wronged in vain!" Shen Weilan put a big hat on the empress dowager first, and then said. "Besides, this is related to the face of the Xuan family. The queen mother will not only listen to one-sided words!"

There was a cold light in the queen mother's slightly long and narrow phoenix eyes, she stared at her coldly and said: "You also said that you dare not guess Aijia's intentions, aren't you good at guessing?"

Shen Weilan was a little helpless, the Queen Mother was nitpicking like this, "I want to report to the Queen Mother, this girl is not speculating on the Queen Mother's intentions, but telling a fact!"

"Okay, Aijia doesn't want to hear your sophistry, let's talk about it, what happened to the injury of Prince Li's son?" The queen mother returned to the kind of indifference just now, raised the teacup and took a sip of the light golden tea soup.

The fragrance of ginseng permeates.

Shen Weilan opened the mouth and said: "What happened yesterday was that Prince Li's son provoked first, and the miner's daughter took up the challenge later. After Prince Li lost the game, he beat his horse to vent his anger. The miner's horse is quite human. Seeing that the same kind was beaten Bully was so angry that he hurt Prince Li's son."

The queen mother squinted her phoenix eyes and said: "Anyway, your horse has hurt the emperor's relatives, so you can no longer keep it. Send it back to the palace and cut it off."

"Queen Mother, then you should cut off your nephew!" As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, Xuan Yu came in from the outside with big strides, knelt down to greet the Queen Mother, and without waiting for the Queen Mother to shout, he Standing up, he looked at the queen mother with a resentful look on his face. "Queen Mother, that horse is my nephew's darling. Whether the army can breed excellent war horses depends on this horse. If you cut it down, it will be a huge loss!"

Facing her beloved nephew, the queen mother showed a helpless expression, "What are you doing here again? The Ai family didn't summon you!"

"My nephew misses my aunt, so I came here specially to say hello to my aunt." Xuan Yu said with a playful smile, and glanced at Shen Weilan who was kneeling on the ground. "What a coincidence, the emperor just said that he wanted to see this girl. My nephew was having a headache and had to go back to the mansion to bring this girl into the palace. I didn't expect that this girl happened to be here. Auntie, let my nephew take her to see the emperor." .”

The queen mother stared at him slightly annoyed, "You brat, the older you get, the less serious you become, and you don't know how to be reserved in front of juniors!"

Xuan Yu chuckled, "My nephew will always be a child in front of my aunt!" He paused, then continued. "Auntie, this girl is very filial. It took several years to embroider two pieces of embroidery before they were completed. She was busy sending them to the capital. She planned to inlay them and present them to the Queen Mother. Who knew that she hadn't had time to go there yet?" Inlaid, I was called into the palace by my aunt."

"Oh?" The Queen Mother raised her pointed eyebrows slightly. "What kind of embroidery is worth this girl's slogging from so far away from Liaocheng to the capital?"

Xuan Yu smiled, and took out a cloth bag from his bosom, "Come here, spread out the embroidery inside, please have a look at the Empress Dowager!"

Several court ladies came over, took the cloth bag, took out two pieces of embroidery, one for each of them, and unfolded the embroidery in front of the Empress Dowager, it was Shen Weilan's two pieces of double-sided embroidery.

Xuan Yu directed the maid who was holding the embroidery to turn the double-sided embroidery around, and saw that when the Empress Dowager saw the pattern on the other side of the embroidery, her raised eyebrows never fell again.

"Is this... embroidered by this girl?" The queen mother looked at Shen Weilan in disbelief. She is very good at embroidery and knows that it takes a lot of time to embroider such a single-sided embroidery, and this double-sided embroidery is even rarer. object.

Especially the composition of this picture is very ingenious, and it is absolutely impossible for people without ingenuity to embroider it.

Xuan Yu observed his words and said: "That's right, it took this girl several years to embroider these two pieces of embroidery. She is so young, even for this hard work, Auntie has to reward her well!"

There was a look of suspicion on the face of the queen mother who still had charm, and she said: "Bring that embroidery here, let Aijia take a good look at it!"
