127 Retreat

Ruotong stepped forward from behind and brought a cup of tea.

Wu looked at a few sun-dried yellow chrysanthemums floating in the teacup. The chrysanthemums were soaked in hot water, and each petal stretched as hard as possible and swayed with the water waves. It's an interesting way."

She blew on it, took a sip, and said with a smile, "The taste is also very good."

Lin looked down at the tea in front of her, and the corners of her lips pressed down unconsciously, showing displeasure visible to the naked eye.

"The queen is young after all, she likes these messy things."

When Gu Ruzhen heard this, she couldn't help laughing, and she blinked at Wu Shi.

"Actually, this is not prevalent in Beijing and China."

Mrs. Lin saw the stitches, and said in a strange voice, "I just said, how could this kind of thing become popular, it turned out that the empress herself created it, and those in the past were nothing more than that. Now, as an empress, she has a noble status, so she should be aware of it all the time. Pay attention."

Gu Ruzhen: "I heard that you always like to eat food that is easy to get angry these few days, so you have aphthous sores in your mouth, and you refuse to drink medicine for fear of hardship. It is very beneficial to your condition to clear away heat and reduce fire."

Nanny Xu lowered her head and said softly, "The Empress Dowager sent someone to bring it here early this morning, and the slaves have not had time to brew it for the Empress Dowager."

Wu's expression became more and more relaxed. She didn't give birth to a son and a half daughter, but she never regretted it before.

Because this is what she doesn't want, she doesn't want the child she gave birth to survive in the secretive imperial court, and may even lose her life.

At this moment, she regretted it a little. It would be great if she had a daughter.

"Heh." Lin's heart became more and more unhappy. She had tasted something that she hadn't noticed, probably because she knew that she was the Queen's mother-in-law, why now the Queen cared about the other one.

"The empress is really considerate, I wonder if His Majesty would like it so much." She paused, then turned her head to look at Mrs. Wu, "Sister, it's true, you and I live so close together, why didn't you tell me that you were physically disabled? ?”

Wu Shi took two sips of tea before putting down the cup, and she stared at Lin Shi fixedly.

Rarely, he didn't show any smile, and there was even a hint of majesty between his brows and eyes, "The Queen Mother, I never told the Queen that I have a physical disability, how did she know?"

"You're busy with things you shouldn't touch and do, how can you have time to care about me?"

Lin was dumbfounded when she was poked in the center, but she was unwilling to do so. Seeing this, Lin Shuangxue hugged Lin's arm and moved it lightly, "Auntie, it's my fault, if it wasn't for me to enter the palace How could you fail to notice that the Empress Dowager is physically impaired?"

Gu Ruzhen raised her eyebrows, just smiled and asked someone to bring the hot dessert, without saying a word.

The hot dessert was half used, the man had a good talk and learned that she was in the imperial garden, so he straightened his skirt in front of the bronze mirror in the hall, and even changed into a golden dragon crown ingeniously, with two hair ties hanging from the back of the crown.

He clearly remembered that she praised him for a long time for wearing this crown before.

Zuo Qiuju twitched his brows and eyes when he saw it, he knew that His Majesty took so much trouble to show the empress.

So should he tell His Majesty that the imperial garden is in a mess now, and the empress is not the only one there?
After hesitating for a long time, Zuo Qiuju decided to pretend to be dead.

"Let's go." The man casually picked up a folding fan, on which was a landscape painting, with a black tassel hanging from the handle.

He pinned the handle of the fan on his waist, and then walked out of the hall.

When Emperor Tianqin arrived, Lin was already very impatient. It happened that Emperor Tianqin was facing Lin, so he could clearly see the anger and impatience in her eyebrows.

He raised his eyebrows with great interest, paused in his steps, raised his hand to keep the palace servants from making a sound, and continued walking over.

"The daughter of the people has met His Majesty." Lin Shuangxue has sharp eyes, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground. Before she finished speaking, her cheeks were completely red.

Gu Ruzhen didn't get up, but pulled the sash hanging from his waist, and asked him to sit down in the seat reserved beside him.

The man changed into lighter black casual clothes, and the bright golden dragon crown shone in the sun, reflecting his tall and straight figure, tall and handsome, and the look in her eyes was something no one else had ever seen before. Gentle, so Gu Ruzhen endured it for a long time, thinking that there was an outsider, so she didn't throw herself into the man's arms.

She knew that the man did it on purpose, and after thinking about it, she couldn't help pinching his palm angrily.

The man innocently spread his hand, and then held it tightly. The other hand seems to be inadvertently brushing the hair behind her ear, and said softly, "When I get to Shengning Palace, what do you want to see?" It's all right."

While Gu Ruzhen was angry at herself for being so easily seduced by beauty, she couldn't help but cast her eyes on him.

In fact, the word practically falling is not very accurate, because even Mrs. Wu can tell that her eyes are almost glued to the man.

Gu Ruzhen couldn't break free, so she could only hold his hand, but fortunately, it was covered by the wide sleeves, so others should not be able to see it.

However, Lin Shuangxue, who was kneeling on the ground, had been paying attention to this place all the time, so she could see the movements of the two clearly.

She couldn't help but widen her eyes, and the incredible emotions inside almost overflowed.

Why is this woman so shameless? It's still broad daylight. With so many people around, she dares to seduce His Majesty?

Aren't you afraid of being seen as a prodigal?
Lin looked at Lin Shuangxue who was kneeling on the ground with trembling legs for too long, and felt that the queen must have done it on purpose.

She coughed twice, and pulled Lin Shuangxue's hair out of sight.

Lin Shuangxue understood, and suddenly fell to the ground in a hurry, and immediately got up with great effort and knelt on the ground with her head bowed, "The daughter of the people is disrespectful before driving, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Today, she deliberately combed all her long hair and fixed it with a hairpin. The movements at this time just showed her white neck and reddish ears.

It's a pity that Emperor Tianqin not only didn't look over, but also opened his mouth in disgust after drinking half a cup of tea slowly.

"With such a weak body, how can you serve the sick? When the time comes, do you want to serve the Queen Mother, or should the Queen Mother serve you?"

In fact, Lin Shuangxue hadn't seen the man's face clearly yet. She only saw the figure from a distance just now. She knelt down and didn't get up, and she didn't have a chance to look up.

Now, listening to the man's cold and emotionless voice, most of the thoughts in her heart suddenly disappeared. She suddenly thought of the man's reputation outside, and hurriedly put her hands behind her back in panic, and made a gesture to Mrs. Lin, hoping that Mrs. Lin could do it. save her.

Her body was trembling non-stop, it wasn't that she deliberately made a weak gesture to make the man pity her just now, she was really scared at this moment.
