Madam, she always wants to run away

Chapter 5
It is impossible to say that Xiao Lian chose this time to enter the palace without any careful consideration.

It's just that when this small thought was mercilessly pierced by his pro-grandmother, it was somewhat embarrassing...

"Lian'er, you came to Ai's house, but what's the matter?"

Xiao Lian thought it was strange for the Queen Mother to ask this question, and he had never seen her ask it before.

"Grandson, come and see if your headache is better."

"Oh, so you came to see Ai's family? That's just right, there's no need for your fiancée to show up."

"This..." Xiao Lian stood up abruptly, but after standing up, he didn't know what to say, so he had to sit down again.

This series of actions caused the Empress Dowager to lose her skills all of a sudden, and burst out laughing: "Mama, the Ai family has opened their eyes today, who would have thought that the dignified and loyal prince would be in trouble."

Nanny Xu covered her mouth and snickered.

The more important thing for Xiao Lian to come here this time is of course to see if she is used to living in the palace and if she is doing well.I have something to ask for from others, and I can only admit it when I am made fun of.

The queen mother was so happy that she said: "Okay, I won't laugh at you anymore. I can't type a few words even with a stick. It's really a boring gourd. Sister, pass the meal, and prepare for three people."

When Xiao Lian heard it, did he want to have dinner with her?This was the first time, his face became hot unconsciously.

Li Ying on the other side heard Xu Mama invited her to have a meal, and Prince Zhong was there, but she was extremely repelled in her heart.

Disgusting, but had to go.

The two sat on the same table with their own thoughts, the queen mother did not speak, and neither of them spoke.

Seeing the dishes being served one by one, Xiao Lian picked up a piece of fish, first put it into the Queen Mother's bowl, and then put another piece into Li Ying's bowl.

"Eat more." Xiao Lian said in a muffled voice.

Li Ying declined and said, "Thank you, lord, it's just that my servants don't know how to eat fish."

Xiao Lian beat the chopsticks in his hand: "Can't you eat fish?"

"Yes, I have never spit out fishbone since I was a child, so I dare not eat it. I am laughing at you."

"It's okay, just give it to me if you don't want to eat."

Li Ying watched in a daze as Xiao Lian put the fish back in his bowl just now, and then ate it in one bite.

This...doesn't treat herself as an outsider too much?

The queen mother supported her forehead and explained from the side: "Lian'er has been in the frontier for many years. Those who march and fight do not care about trivial matters. Every bite of food is precious to them, so nothing should be wasted. Ying'er, please forgive me."

Then he scolded Xiao Lian and said: "Lian'er, you too, how many times have Aijia said that this is the palace, not the frontier, and the etiquette and manners that Aijia taught you when you were a child, why did you forget about them after a few years in the frontier?" gone?"

Xiao Lian apologized with some embarrassment: "I won't be able to change it for a while, so I'm kidding."

"It's okay, it's okay." Li Ying lowered her head and ate the food in her bowl.

After this little episode, the queen mother remembered that she hadn't answered Li Ying's question just now.

"By the way, Ying'er, didn't you just ask about your parents?"

"Yes, my daughter would like to know if there is any news from my parents, mother, and younger brother. The family letter has been sent for a long time, but there has been no reply. This is the first time my daughter has been away from home for such a long time. I am inevitably a little worried."

"You mean this? Don't worry." Xiao Lian said suddenly.

"My lord, do you have any news?"

"They're going to Beijing soon."

"What?!" Li Ying was shocked when she heard this, why didn't she know?
"Your Majesty has ordered that your father be transferred to the capital to take up the post of Secretary of the Imperial Academy."

Li Ying's hand trembled and almost knocked the bowl over.

This is exactly the same as the trajectory of her parents in the previous life!After she was selected to enter the palace, the emperor also transferred her father to the capital, even holding the same position!
Could it be that she hasn't changed anything in the dark?

Li Ying couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

What should she do to stop this wheel of fate.

Seeing that Li Ying's expression was not right, Xiao Lian asked, "What's the matter, is there something wrong?"

Li Ying came back to her senses and replied: "No, no. The minister is just excited at the thought that she will be reunited with her parents soon."

Xiao Lian looked at her again worriedly, "It's fine if there is nothing to do, if there is anything that the king can help, just say it."

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern."

Li Ying felt depressed, took a few mouthfuls and put down the chopsticks.

"Why do you eat so little?" Xiao Lian asked again, "But the food is not to your liking?"

She was prevaricated by Li Ying's excuse of lack of appetite due to the sweltering weather.

Seeing this, Xiao Lian didn't say any more, and left after finishing his meal.

The afternoon was supposed to be a nap, but Li Ying couldn't close her eyes no matter what. She was worried about this coincidence or necessity.

But she can't do anything.

Li Ying was already irritable in her heart, but someone came to add fuel to the fire.

The person who came was none other than the biological mother of the fourth prince of the current dynasty—Concubine Rong Gui.The back position is vacant, except for the queen mother, the honorable concubine has the highest status, helping the queen mother to assist the harem.

Li Ying didn't have a good impression of this Concubine Rong.In her previous life, when she first entered the palace, she aroused the jealousy of Concubine Rong because of her overly outstanding face, and she often tripped her up, but later she saw that Li Ying was honest and did not intend to compete for favor. Just let her go.

Right now, Concubine Rong is making a fuss at the entrance of Renshou Palace, making Li Ying's head dizzy. She was about to go out to stop her, when she heard the empress dowager scolding from the main hall next door.

Well, it's not her turn to go out.

The Empress Dowager did not fall asleep easily, and when she finally fell asleep, she heard a noise coming from the entrance of the palace, and she couldn't help being furious: "Who is making noise outside the palace?!"

Nanny Xu explained: "The Queen Mother, it's Concubine Rong..."

"What is she doing here?"

"I said I was coming to greet you, but the little girl at the gate of the hall replied that you were taking a nap and didn't let the noble concubine come in. The noble concubine said that she would go and see Miss Ying, and the maid Hui Ying was also taking a nap, so the noble concubine got angry and said The servant girl deliberately obstructed her, ordered someone to slap the servant girl's mouth, and clamored to come in..."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother was so angry that she got off the couch without combing her hair, "Help me out, Aijia wants to see how arrogant her He family is!"

When the Empress Dowager arrived at the entrance of the hall, the little girl was crying with her face covered. Concubine Rong was about to kick her away who was blocking the door, but the Empress Dowager sternly stopped her: "Stop!"

Seeing the empress dowager approaching aggressively, Concubine Rong restrained herself and said, "My concubine pays her respects to the empress dowager."

"He Shi, are you asking for peace or making trouble?"

"Empress Dowager, my concubine was wronged. It's this little girl who doesn't know the rules, and doesn't even let my concubine enter the palace gate!"

"The servant girl of the Ai family, it's not your turn to discipline her. Mother Xu, who slapped her mouth just now, a few slaps will be returned."

"Yes." Madam Xu rolled up her sleeves and mercilessly slapped the big palace lady next to Concubine Rong. Madam Xu's strength was not comparable to these delicate palace maids. The face was swollen up high.

Concubine Rong didn't even have a chance to stop her, so Nanny Xu had already slapped her ten times, the maid closed her eyes and almost passed out.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Concubine Rong hurriedly knelt down: "Queen Dowager, calm down! It's my concubine's fault."

"Mr. He, the Ai family sees that you have been this noble concubine for a long time, and you have forgotten how to write the word "rule."

"The empress dowager forgives the sin, but the concubine is also concerned about it and chaos..."

"Ai's head has been sick for a long time, and I haven't seen you come to say hello. The new talent from Renshou Palace has been here for a few days, and one or two of them will try to inquire about the news in different ways.

The Ai family is here today to say that from today onwards, since the concubine Zhunzhong's sickness ends, this Renshou Palace will not allow any outsiders to disturb her.

He Shi, did you hear me clearly? "

Concubine Rong felt extremely hated, but she could only swallow her breath, and replied: "The concubine obeys."

It wasn't until Concubine Rong and her party walked away in despair that the Queen Mother calmed down a little.While in the side hall, Li Ying heard the whole story verbatim.

This Concubine Rong is still as stupid as in her previous life, and will never learn how to write the words "clear and wise".

Of course, she has the capital to be stupid. Just because her ancestors were the heroes who helped the founding emperor to pacify the country, she has already won most of the concubines. What's more, she also gave birth to the fourth prince, one of the strong contenders for the future crown prince.

At this moment, Concubine Rong was sitting on the palanquin going back to the palace, and she hated to buckle the beads off the armor.

"Your Majesty, today is really biting Lu Dongbin and not knowing the good heart. We just went to visit, and we caused such a trouble." Another big palace lady who survived being slapped by Madam Xu said aggrievedly.

"It's just a loyal princess who protects her like a rare treasure. It's ridiculous! That old and immortal thing, let her be proud for a while, anyway, I don't think she has had a lot of trouble for a few years."

"My lady, you have been wronged. Just according to what the queen mother said, wouldn't we have no chance to find out the details of this loyal princess?"

"I don't think it would take much effort to inquire about it. She is just the daughter of a small county magistrate. What kind of disturbance can she cause?"

"Your Majesty said that what His Majesty did was probably to clear the way for the fourth prince."

Concubine Rong didn't answer any more, but if the emperor treated the fourth prince as much as Xiao Lian, she would burn incense and worship Buddha.Sometimes she would wonder, which one is his real son? Could it be that the son born of the tuberculosis ghost and the fox spirit is more precious than the dragon species she conceived in October?

Simply incomprehensible!
