Chapter 23
In the inner courtyard of the Zhongyonghou Mansion, the queen sat upright with her eyes slightly closed, resting her mind.

Mrs. Zhongyonghou waited quietly at one side, and another beautiful young woman in a water-blue robe stood quietly on the other side. She had a graceful figure and a beauty mole under her right eye. She had a face similar to that of Xue Lang. She was Xue Lang, the eldest daughter of Zhongyonghou and his wife. Qiang, Xue Lang's sister, got married the year before last, and returned home today to visit relatives.

The people in the lower palace carefully reported the situation of the hairpin banquet. It seemed that several elders left the banquet without restraint, but they were actually observing secretly before making a decision.

"Apart from these noble ladies who admired the flowers and chatted, there were a few other people who went out. Miss Fang Hou's Mansion took the daughter of the editor of the Privy Council Building to the Nanyuan Lake. The lady in the back building said she had abdominal pain and left first. After seeing his traces, he walked out of the rest garden..."

Speaking of which, Rong Yue was lucky.

As the queen walked forward, Fang Huiyan and Lou Mingchun made too much noise, attracting most people's attention. When she left with the strange maid, the eyeliner left by the queen didn't pay attention to her for a moment.

"Sure enough, there are a few restless ones..." The queen didn't open her eyes, but her voice was low, not as kind as at the banquet.

"Perhaps it's young and playful." Mrs. Zhongyong Hou smiled and made her way out. The beautiful young woman in blue squinted at her mother and warned her not to talk too much.

"Go and see if you're back now, are those who stayed there to enjoy the flowers so peaceful?" The queen didn't answer, looking in a bad mood, she just continued to understand the situation, Mrs. Zhongyonghou shut up and remained silent.

This queen has two faces, the front and the back, and she has a strong desire to control, and she is used to it. Since she can't speak for these little girls, she chooses to be wise and protect herself. She just hopes that they will be safe and don't do anything out of line , was discovered, I am afraid it will implicate the marriage of the sisters in the family.

The palace people continued to report, it was nothing more than the scheming of those little girls, showing their presence in front of the prince and the prince, taking the initiative to strike up a conversation, making eye contact and so on, and the most extraordinary thing was that they lost a handkerchief.

After asking which girl it was, the queen sneered, "The privy envoy is really a good tutor."

"How about the prince?" The queen not only controlled the audience, but also focused on her own son.

"His Royal Highness abides by the rules of etiquette and doesn't care about your daughter's situation. He just competed with his classmates from Qinglu Academy..."

The queen's face turned pale, and the dull air seemed to dissipate.

This palace lady was also quick-witted, and she always said good things about the prince, for fear of offending the empress, but she was the one who was unlucky. Facts have proved that she was right.

"Lianyin, what do you think of the parents and daughters of the General's Mansion?"

Lianyin is the maiden name of Mrs. Zhongyonghou. She hadn't heard anyone call that for a long time, and she was taken aback. Thinking of Rong Yuchan's well-behaved and dignified appearance, she boasted: "The eldest daughter of the Rong family is also the head of Langhuan Academy. have both."

"That's not bad...Qiang'er was also the head of Langhuan Academy before she left the pavilion. I think Rong Yuchan is really proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

The queen thought of Xue Qiang next to her, and looked at this distant niece with satisfaction.

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. Women's colleges are more nuns' virtues. I can't claim to be proficient in these trivial tricks."

Knowing that the queen despised piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and preferred horseback riding and archery, Xue Qiang just wanted to find an obedient daughter-in-law, Xue Qiang was self-effacing, which made the queen smile.

"Of course, I have to take another look. I heard that the girl from the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Punishment is also pretty good."

The palace people were very discerning, and continued to report: "The daughter of the minister of punishment and the girl from Langhuan Academy, after enjoying the flowers..."

At this time, another palace official hurriedly asked for an interview and interrupted the report.

She came in and knelt down to report: "Your Majesty, the daughter of the editor-in-chief of the building fell into the lake. Miss Fang Hou's mansion rescued someone and fell into the lake together. The two of them just passed out when they were dragged ashore by the women."

Mrs. Zhongyonghou took a deep breath and looked at the queen uneasily.

The queen was expressionless, and signaled Mrs. Zhongyong Hou to come forward to solve the problem: "Qiu Han, you follow to assist Mrs. Hou."

The lady in purple clothes behind the queen heard the words and said yes.

"Your Majesty, Qiang'er requests to go with you." Xue Qiang in the corner couldn't help but see his mother flustered.

"Alright, let's go."

"Thank you madam."

A group of people went to Nanyuan in a mighty way.
