Chapter 1,172: Are There Any Nuns Coming to Cining Palace?
Shao Yanru died of sudden illness?
When the news reached Shao Wanru's ears, Shao Wanru's first feeling was that he didn't believe it. How could he believe it? Who was Shao Yanru? How could someone like her die just because of an "emergency illness"?
Regardless of whether others believe it or not, she doesn't believe it anyway.
In the last life, Shao Yanru also entered the palace, and she was still a beloved concubine. She had more and more ruthless enemies than now. Even so, she had always lived a good life, aloof.
Is it because of my own changes in this life? She didn't think it was credible anyway.
"Princess, the prince asks you are you ready?" Yu Jie came in to report that they were preparing to enter the palace.
Shao Wanru nodded and stood up. He had already combed his hair and was waiting for Chu Liuchen to come from the front yard.
The two of them entered the palace through the side door and went straight to the Cining Palace of the Queen Mother.
Ever since the Queen Mother fell ill, she has been in low spirits and doesn't like to see people.
The two people went in and bowed to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother seemed to be in good spirits today. She was sitting in the main hall, touching a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and she felt peaceful.
After the two people finished their salutes, the Queen Mother asked them to sit down and then asked: "What happened that day? Why did Yuan An suffer such a serious injury? Wasn't he just going to a banquet?"
The eldest princess Ruiping came over and cried several times. The Queen Mother had a headache from crying and didn't want to find anyone else to ask about it, so she specially called her grandson and granddaughter-in-law over to ask.
"Royal Grandmother, Yuan An had bad intentions. Together with the two Princess Yuyan of Yao Kingdom, they killed Zhang Xiang's daughter and the king's concubine. Later, he and Princess Yuyan made Neijiang their own faults." Chu Liuchen didn't think so! He said thoughtfully, "My uncle also knows about this, so just leave it alone."
Although the Queen Mother is the biological mother of the Emperor, she is considered an inner palace. Since the Emperor has a hand in the matter, it is inconvenient for the Queen Mother to intervene in order to avoid any resentment between mother and son.
The Queen Mother also understands this truth. Regarding this, the Queen Mother thinks that she has done a very good job. Although she feels bad about some things, she can at best advise her in private. She still knows exactly what kind of character her son is. Yes, he is a master who accepts death and is irresistible.
"The Ai family knows, let's end this matter right here!" The Queen Mother didn't want to get involved in this matter. She felt a headache just thinking about it, and she didn't even have the slightest fondness for Princess Yuyan of Niao Kingdom. "This Jade Princess of Niao Kingdom I heard that Princess Yan is not a very good person, and only Prince Qing has been clear with her early on, otherwise he would have just married Princess Yutao!"
Although Princess Yuan'an is not a good person, at least she was very peaceful before. Now that she is like this, the Queen Mother feels extremely unlucky.
"The Ai family has been in low spirits recently, and so is the Queen... Only Concubine De and Concubine Ming are supporting us in the palace. This is not a problem. As for Concubine Lan..." The Queen Mother said this and looked at Chu Liuchen. He hesitated to speak.
"The Imperial Grandmother doesn't like Concubine Lan?" Chu Liuchen said bluntly without any scruples.
The Queen Mother looked at Chu Liuchen again and saw that his face was calm and there was nothing unusual about him, so she sighed and said, "She is also a poor person!"
"Poor people must be hateful!" Chu Liuchen's eyebrows were slightly cold.
"Chen'er, don't say that...at least you can't say that..." the Queen Mother scolded in a low voice
He said something, stretched out his hand to press the center of his eyebrows, showing a hint of tiredness, "It's because the Ai family couldn't tolerate her that she ended up in this... situation. You must not look down on her because of this. She treats you very badly." She is always sincere, she must be your biological aunt!"
Shao Wanru's eyes fell on a stone brick in front of her. Her eyes were dark and incomprehensible. She sat quietly aside without saying a word. Only her hands held in her hands showed that she was also extremely uneasy in her heart.
Chu Liuchen didn't like Concubine Lan, it wasn't a superficial dislike, he really didn't like her.
Concubine Lan's matter was the last secret in his heart, and the last thing he wanted to mention, right?
She bit her lips gently and lowered her head slightly. Although she couldn't see his face, it only touched the hem of his clothes. Her heart was pinched hard and it hurt.
Like himself, Chu Liuchen also had no connection with his parents.
"Royal Grandma, we don't need to talk about her. It just so happens that I have something to go to the front. My uncle said that he has something to do with me today. I will go to the imperial study room first and come back to accompany you later!" Chu Liuchen said with an evasive attitude. It is clear.
"Okay, let's go!" The Queen Mother sighed and nodded kindly.
Even if the aunt and nephew were not in contact with each other on weekdays, it was not easy for Chen'er to fall in love with them all of a sudden.
The Queen Mother asked Shao Wanru to send Chu Liuchen to the palace gate.
"There may be something going on with my uncle today. You can go back later. Don't wait for me. You can also walk around the palace and enjoy the scenery. Don't be tired!" When he reached the palace gate, Chu Liuchen turned to Shao Wanru and told him.
Shao Wanru stretched out his hand and gently pulled on his sleeve, shaking it with a bit of tenderness, and then put it down: "I know, you should be more careful."
The imperial study room has not been peaceful recently. I heard that there are arguments from time to time about the affairs of several princes.
"I know!" Chu Liuchen grabbed Shao Wanru's hand, with a soft smile on his handsome face, and gently squeezed her little hand before putting it down.
The two of them had the same mind, even though they didn't say it explicitly, Chu Liuchen already understood it. Looking at the flowery smile in front of him, his heart felt soft. Just now he remembered some old things in the past, which caused his gloomy mood to dissipate a lot.
Seeing Chu Liuchen striding away and disappearing, Shao Wanru turned around and suddenly saw a figure in the corner of his eyes. He frowned slightly, remembering the Buddhist beads he saw on the Queen Mother's wrist just now.
Entering the main hall again, the Queen Mother was reading a scripture book in the main hall. When she saw her coming, she put down the scripture book. Aunt Wei gently put the scripture aside.
"What happened that day has wronged you!" the Queen Mother said gently after letting Shao Wanru sit down.
Although several people were punished for the incident at the Princess Mansion, in fact due to the relationship between the countries, Princess Yuyan was not really punished.
Princess Yuyan was the mastermind. Since she had survived and was married, Princess Yuanan, the co-conspirator, was equally inconvenient to punish. Moreover, her condition at the time was unclear, and who knew whether she could be rescued.
"Empress Dowager, my granddaughter-in-law is not wronged. Your Highness is here to protect her!" Shao Wanru smiled softly, his eyes clear.
The Queen Mother looked at her and found that there was indeed no trace of resentment in her eyes. She liked it in her heart and patted her hand gently: "Mother Wei, bring the things prepared by the Ai family!"
"Yes, Queen Mother, I have already prepared it!" Wei
Grandma smiled and asked someone to bring a brocade box from the side hall.
The four maids came forward, and Nanny Wei stepped forward and opened them. Each brocade box was filled with jewels, which were full of jewels.
"This... this is..." Shao Wanru was surprised. Her eyes were very sharp. One piece of such jewelry is already a treasure, and there are so many of them.
"Good boy, this is a gift from the Ai family to you. You will take it back later!" The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction. This child is indeed becoming more and more satisfied with it. He is worthy of his own grandson. He has seen so many things. The jewelry was shocking and surprising, but not greedy, which shows that he is a pure-hearted person.
Very good character!
"Royal Grandmother, this... is too much..." Shao Wanru said, wondering why the Queen Mother suddenly gave him so many jewels. In the past, there would be rewards, but not so much.
"Zhang Xiang only had one daughter. He loved her like jewels and gave her a lot of dowry. The same was true for Yuan'an. Almost all of Princess Ruiping's private house was given to her. King Yue was the biological son of Concubine De, and King Zhou was the empress's son. The only parents and children are Chen'er and the Aijia. Since the Aijia loves you, they can't let you be weaker than them."
The Queen Mother sighed softly, then patted Shao Wanru and said, "This is given to you by the Ai family, just accept it!"
"Thank you, Imperial Grandmother!" Shao Wanru felt warm in his heart and his eyes were slightly red. At this time, the Queen Mother looked very much like Mrs. Qin. This kind of sincere love actually does not require too many words.
The Queen Mother was pity that her dowry was not as good as the other two. Prince Chen's palace had a weak foundation, so she specially gave these things. Although she had begged some back, and her grandmother also gave her a lot, most of them were She resigned and left her grandmother to Haoer, who believed that she could live a good life.
The current reward for the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother's kindness to Chu Liuchen and herself. At this moment, the Queen Mother is more like an ordinary old woman who cares about her grandson.
"Okay, you go back first. The Yi family is also tired. Before leaving the palace, go to Concubine De's place. She has something to ask you!" The Queen Mother yawned and ordered softly, looking very tired.
"Yes, is there anything wrong with grandma?" Shao Wanru stood up and his eyes fell on the face of the Queen Mother. The face of the Queen Mother looked good. Could it be that she was recovering from the illness. She was a lot weak and sat down for a while to refresh herself. Isn’t it good?
"There is nothing wrong with the Ai family, but they are a little mentally weak." The Queen Mother pinched the prayer beads in her hand and turned them around.
"Royal Grandmother, grandson-in-law, please leave!" Shao Wanru looked at the Queen Mother and yawned again. Maybe she was really tired. There was something else she wanted to say to her, but it can only be done next time.
Aunt Wei sent Shao Wanru to the palace gate and stood at the door with a smile on her face. Ever since the previous incident, Aunt Wei had always smiled kindly when she saw Shao Wanru, as if she had no grudge at all.
"Mother Wei, did the Cining Palace ask nuns from the Buddhist temple to come over?" Shao Wanru stopped and asked calmly. The figure she saw just now was a woman wearing gray monk and nun clothes. She didn't look at it. I don't know if it's one of the ones I'm familiar with.
"Indeed, the Queen Mother just invited someone to come over and talk about Buddhist scriptures for a while. His Royal Highness King Chen and Princess Chen were still there when they came over just now." Aunt Wei nodded and smiled, secretly suppressing the panic in her heart, Princess Chen's The vision is too sharp, but this kind of thing cannot be hidden from others, and there is no need to hide it from others.
