Chapter 182
Moreover, after marrying into a country, the Zhou family can not only become a royal family, but also have a mother of the country, which is simply a step to the sky.

However, Mrs. Zhou also knew that Zhou Xuezheng regarded Shen Furong as more important than her life, and would never agree to let Shen Furong go to the remote Northern Qiang country to be with her.

She planned to use her status as the official wife to first go to see the Empress, recommend Shen Furong in front of the Empress, and secretly facilitate this matter.

Then ask the emperor to issue an imperial decree to confer marriage, and the matter is a done deal.

At that time, the emperor's life will be hard to violate, even if Zhou Xuezheng and Shen Furong disagree, I'm afraid they have to agree.

Shen Furong laughed angrily after hearing this, this old lady is really good at calculus!
If Li Yeyu hadn't heard about her plan on Liangshang, I'm afraid she and her father would have been very passive at that time. She naturally wouldn't let her father be convicted for her resistance. Maybe it would have been as Madam Zhou wished. .

Thinking of this, Shen Furong asked Li Yeyu, "When is grandmother going to ask to see the Empress?"

Li Yeyu replied, "I heard the old lady say to Miss Zhou Yue that the eighth day of the first lunar month is a good day, and she will hand a sign to the Queen's Queen's Kunning Palace to greet her."

The famous name is to greet him, but in fact it is self-evident.

Shen Furong lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then instructed Li Yeyu:

"In the past few days, Shitou has sent a few people over to focus on my grandmother. If my grandmother has any changes, let them act according to the circumstances. Remember, as long as the grandmother cannot enter the palace, it will be fine. Don't hurt her old man."

Li Yeyu immediately took orders to do it, Shen Furong looked at her back and tapped the table with her fingers.

She didn't feel bad for Old Madam Zhou. How could she not be annoyed that this old lady planned on her like this and didn't care about her life and death for the glory of Zhou Mansion?
It's just that Mrs. Zhou is the mother of her cheap father, Zhou Xuezheng. Zhou Xuezheng treats her so well and treats her like a jewel and meticulous. She doesn't want to hurt Mrs. Zhou and make Zhou Xuezheng sad.

……

In recent days, Mrs. Zhou has been very depressed and suffocated.

I don't know why, as long as she walked on the way to the palace, either the carriage broke down halfway, or she was blocked by a suddenly fallen tree.

There was even one time when the official costume she was going to wear when she entered the palace could not be found for some reason. The maids and maids in the yard searched all day and couldn't find it. As a result, it was dark and found that the costume was hanging in the closet. It was so weird. .

Mrs. Zhou would inevitably have some murmurs in her heart. Today, she rested on the brocade couch without moving, and had two little maids fan her.

At this time, the doorman walked in with an invitation and lowered his head to report:

"Old lady, there is a message from the palace."

Mrs. Zhou sat up straight and took a look at the post. It turned out that in order to welcome the arrival of the envoys of the Northern Qiang Kingdom, the Holy Master held a reception banquet in the palace. All the ministers have to bring their families to the banquet.

Mrs. Zhou put away the post and put a smile on her lips. The Queen Mother asked the ministers to bring their family members to participate. It seems that she wants to choose a noble girl to be a princess at the palace banquet.

This is really just about to fall asleep when someone brought a pillow.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhou instructed a little maid at the door:
"Go to the Furong Courtyard and tell the eldest girl that there will be a banquet in the palace the day after tomorrow, and ask her to accompany me to the palace to the banquet, and ask her to get up in the morning the day after tomorrow and make sure to dress up well, and don't lose the face of our Zhou family."

The little maid respectfully responded and turned around to go to the Furong Courtyard.

When Shen Furong heard the little maid's message, she couldn't help but pouted her lips. The grandmother asked her to dress up to attend. She was afraid that she would lose the face of the Zhou family. It was clearly because of her shameful thoughts that she wanted to sell her at a price.

……

In the early morning of the day she went to the palace for a banquet, Shen Furong was woken up early by the maid at Huikangtang, and she cleaned up for her in October, and then went out of the house and got on the carriage.

Zhou Yue was not eligible to participate in today's palace banquet, only Shen Furong followed Old Madam Zhou into the palace, so this time, Shen Furong had to ride in the same car with Old Madam Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou had been waiting in the carriage early, and when she saw Shen Furong getting on the carriage, she immediately frowned in dissatisfaction:

"Why do you dress so plainly? You're so inconspicuous. What about the jewelry I was given to you last night? Why don't you wear it, do you not like it?"

Shen Furong lowered her head, her long eyelashes trembled, making it impossible to see the emotions brewing in her eyes:

"Of course I like the things my grandmother gave me, but I couldn't bear to wear them, so I put them away.

As for the clothes on my body, although they are plain, they are not bad. Last time, my father specially had them woven from Tianshan snow silk and gave them to me. "

When Old Madam Zhou heard the words, her frowning brows loosened.

Looking at Shen Furong, although she was plainly dressed and did not have two hairpins on her head, her face was as delicate and white as porcelain, her hair was black and shiny, her eyes were bright and her teeth were bright, and she had an air of lightness, so she would no longer be attached to it. , and then instructed the driver:
"It's getting late, let's go!"

After the carriage set off, Shen Furong raised her eyelids to look at Madam Zhou, her dark eyes as quiet as a deep pool.

Old Madam Zhou didn't notice Shen Furong's complicated gaze, she stretched out her arms to raise a slit in the curtains, and watched the road conditions outside the car vigilantly, for fear that there would be any further obstacles and she would not be able to enter the palace again this time.

Fortunately, the journey went smoothly, and they soon arrived at the gate of the palace.

The maids who responded took Old Madam Zhou and Shen Furong to Queen Yu's Kunning Palace, where quite a number of imperial madams had already arrived with their girls.

As soon as Mrs. Zhou brought Shen Furong into the door, someone came up to say hello immediately, and Mrs. Zhou gave an official response, her eyes only looking at Empress Yu, who was sitting on the throne in the center of the hall.

When she came to Empress Yu, Madam Zhou bowed to ask for peace. Because she was old and of high rank, someone immediately came to help her, but Madam Zhou insisted on giving a half salute, and then she stood up after half pushing and half pushing.

This junior, Shen Furong, was naturally not so lucky, so she could only kneel on the ground, and did a solid kowtow before getting up.

After salute, Mrs. Zhou sent Shen Furong to find other girls to play and talk, and she leaned in front of Queen Yu for a playful approach.

When Shen Furong walked out a few steps, she heard the old lady Zhou behind her say the words "beautiful... sensible... fortunate...".

Knowing that Mrs. Zhou was going to sell her to Empress Yu, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart. Sooner or later, her grandmother would know that what she didn't want to do was not forced by anyone!

Shen Furong paced to the corner under the window in the middle of the hall. This is the gathering place for young girls from various families, and there is also an old acquaintance she knows - the Qingxia Fairy Wang Qingxia.

After Wang Qingxia saw Shen Furong, she immediately squeezed in front of her happily, "Sister Zhou, you are here."

Shen Furong nodded at her. Seeing that several girls were arguing in a low voice with red ears for some unknown reason, she asked Wang Qingxia curiously:

"What are they arguing about?"
