Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 216 The Empress Dowager's Long-cherished Wish
Zhang Jinyu caught up with the convoy and followed behind.

Chunhe in the car looked at such a beauty and stared at Qin Keqing, Qin Keqing asked with some doubts;

"Sister Chunhe, what's wrong?"

Female Shi Chunhe knew that she was being rude, and explained;
"There's nothing wrong with it, just being attracted by the county lord's appearance, no wonder Luo Yunhou is so anxious for the county lord."

"My sister was joking."

Qin Keqing blushed and spoke softly.

"Be careful when you go to the palace,"

Chunhe explained the matters needing attention when entering the harem.

Zhang Jinyu, who was following behind, couldn't hold back and rode to the front of the car alone, and tried to ask;

"Sister Chunhe, you see it's cold outside, why don't you let Benhou go in and drive a car for you."

The two women in the car looked at each other and smiled, but the little Huangmen who was driving the car was startled and said quickly;

"Master Hou, this can't be done. If the steward sees it, it will be hard for the slave to go back."

Zhang Jinyu saw Xiao Huangmen with a mournful face, well, I didn't say anything about it.

"Okay, look at you, Ben Hou can really drive a car."

Hearing this, Xiao Huangmen's expression became better.

Luoyunhou Mansion,

A female official sent by Chunhe had already come to notify, so the concierge of the Hou's mansion naturally did not dare to delay, and came directly to Dongyun Building to report.

"Report, old madam, there is a female official from the concierge, who claims to be a member of Da Nei Kunning Palace. She is here to inform the old madam to enter the palace to meet the queen and discuss the marriage of Lord Hou. And there is also a female Shi Chunhe who went to the Qin residence to proclaim Yi's decree." , and after the Yizhi is read out, we will bring County Lord Qin together to join the old lady into the palace."

Wang Shihan's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he thought to himself, here we come.

"Yue'er, Shu'er, prepare the carriage and wait outside the mansion. We will leave when the palace team arrives."

"Yes, old lady."

The second daughter immediately went out to prepare chariots and guards.

But the motorcade in the city drove very quickly, and arrived in front of the Hou's mansion in a short while. Chunhe wanted to get out of the car to pay a visit, but was told by the female officer that the old lady was in the car and could just enter the palace.

Chunhe also asked the maid to come up and ordered the motorcade to return directly to the palace.

Zhang Jinyu was a little dumbfounded outside, it was too fast, as if it had been arranged, when she saw the carriage of the Hou Mansion, she passed by, and wanted to ask questions, but she didn't even open the curtain, and walked over directly .

Whether to follow or not to follow now, Zhang Jinyu was a little drunk, so he got off the horse helplessly, entered the Hou's mansion, returned to his yard, fell on the bed and took a nap for a while.

Fortunately, Mrs. Yang was at home alone, and entered the house to take off Zhang Jinyu's shoes and undress, serve tea and water.

The convoy from the palace went straight to Ouchi under the guard of the Imperial Army.

It didn't take long to arrive. Chunhe handed over the token, and the carriage followed directly from the palace gate, and didn't stop until the entrance guard of the harem.

The people in the car got off one after another.

Chunhe came first to greet Mrs. Wang.

"Madam Wang is well, my servant Chun He has seen Madam."

Wang Shihan also raised her hand to help, and said,

"It's Miss Chunhe, why are you so out of touch, let's go in quickly, don't keep your empress waiting."

"Yes, madam. By the way, madam, the queen mother is also in Kunning Palace."

"Understood, thank you Miss Chunhe."

Mrs. Wang also thanked her. It seems that something happened today.

Chunhe promised not to leave any ink marks, and after checking his identity, he took everyone to Kunning Palace.

In Kunning Palace,

Sitting on the main seat, Queen Mother Lu is also full of energy.

Looking at the queen who was holding this and that for herself, she held the queen's hand and said;

"Okay, the queen sits down and rests, Aijia has been fed by you for a while, so I don't want to eat after dinner."

The queen was next to the queen mother, took the warm brocade cloth and cleaned her hands, and said with a smile;

"Where is the mother, it is really impossible, Yuqing will go to your place to eat with you."

"You."

The queen mother shook her head and smiled, looked at the queen and asked;

"Isn't it a little too anxious to call someone here today? That girl is a bit tall, but it can better reflect the importance she attaches to Luo Yunhou."

Hearing her mother's inquiry, the queen also replied seriously;
"After returning to my mother, I was a little impatient about this matter, but there are some things that I have to do. Besides, my daughter-in-law still wants to talk to Mrs. Wang about some things. It is the so-called prosperity and prosperity."

The Empress Dowager naturally heard what the Empress meant, there are some things that need to be shown off, we can talk about it, this marriage can also be handled properly, there is always a way.

"The empress is right. There are some things that need to be discussed carefully. The marriage also needs to be handled carefully. By the way, did the old concubine Zhen in the harem ever send someone to meet Princess Beijing in private?"

The queen never thought that the queen mother would ask such a question. Although this palace is a deep palace compound, it is also extremely complicated and cannot cover everything, so she said uncertainly;

"Mother, daughter-in-law is not very clear."

"Well, that's right. That old guy has been careful all his life. How can she let others find out? I'm also guessing, maybe she is also planning."

The empress dowager squinted her eyes, as if asking and answering herself.

outside the hall,

Chunhe led the way, while Wang Shihan stretched out his hand to lead Qin Keqing, never thought that this girl was a bit timid.

After getting off the car, Qin Keqing was overwhelmed by the magnificent buildings in the palace and the palaces that could not be seen at a glance. Seeing so many court ladies and eunuchs, it was really quiet inside the palace.

Subconsciously, she leaned towards Mrs. Wang, and the little girl's orb she brought was even worse, and she didn't dare to look up even if she lowered her head there.

Seeing this, Wang Shihan also felt distressed, so she stretched out her hand and grabbed Qin Keqing's little hand, which was a little cold, probably because she was a little frightened when she came to a strange place, so she comforted her;
"What are you afraid of, just follow the old man and listen to it when you get there."

Qin Keqing nodded vigorously as if she had found her backbone.

When a group of people arrived at Kunning Palace, Chun He motioned for everyone to stop, while he came to the gate of the palace and shouted;
"I would like to report to your empress, County Lord Qin and Yipin ordered his wife, Mrs. Wang, to have an audience."

Empress Jiang Yuqing said after hearing it;
"Xuan."

"Xuan."

The voice came from the voice transmission servant in the hall, and Chunhe led the crowd into Kunning Palace.

entered the hall,

After bypassing several partitions, we came to the inner hall.

Seeing that the queen and queen mother were both there, Mrs. Wang pulled the people behind her to worship together.
"My wife, Wang Shihan, and the county lord, Qin Keqing, are meeting the Empress Dowager, Empress, Empress Dowager, Empress."

"Okay, Mrs. Wang, let's get up, come and watch the seats. You don't need so many formalities, the Ai family really doesn't believe that someone can live a thousand years."

The Empress Dowager directly interrupted Mrs. Wang's greeting, and Mrs. Wang was also very fond of the old queen's straightforward temperament.

Also stood up and thanked directly;

"Thank you, Empress."

The queen also looked at the people in front of her with a smile on her face, especially Qin Keqing's beautiful face, and praised;

"Mrs. Wang, behind you is Luo Yunhou's fiancée Qin Keqing. You really have a good eye. Even if I see such a beautiful girl, I like it even if I see it. Let me stand in front of you and let me and the Queen Mother take a look."

"Thank you, Madam, for your praise."

Mrs. Wang took Qin Keqing a few steps forward. Qin Keqing was a little nervous and didn't know what to do, so she could only follow Mrs. Wang.

Although the Empress Dowager's eyes were blurry, she could still see things very clearly. The little girl in plain clothes in front of her was very beautiful, and the more she looked at her, the more she looked familiar, which was a bit strange.

In order to look more carefully, the queen mother sat up and said;
"This is County Lord Qin, don't be afraid, we will be a family with Ai's family in the future, come and get closer and let Ai's family take a look."

Qin Keqing looked at Wang Shi with some fear, and Wang Shihan patted Qin Keqing's hand behind her to comfort her.

Qin Keqing plucked up her courage and moved forward a few more steps. Only then did the Empress Dowager see the girl's appearance clearly. She is so handsome.

"Come on, raise your head, let Aijia take a good look."

Helpless, Qin Keqing could only raise her head, and saw an old man with kind eyebrows and kind eyes and silver hair, she also felt something in her heart, and suddenly she was not afraid, and took another step forward.

The Queen Mother suddenly froze,

This is so similar, some unbelievable Queen Mother rubbed her eyes again, the figure in front of her eyes gradually overlapped with the former Crown Princess, it was exactly the same, and the nose was exactly the same as the nose of the Prince whom I had been thinking about day and night, when I was a child I always make fun of my son's nose, and I can't be wrong.

Suddenly tears blurred the Queen Mother's eyes. I didn't expect God to take care of me so much. I saw my granddaughter before I died. I can't be wrong. That indescribable intuition and deep consciousness told me that I was right.

Seeing the Empress Dowager crying, Qin Keqing also panicked, and took out her handkerchief to wipe the tears for the Empress Dowager regardless of being rude.

The queen and the Wang family were also unclear, so when she was nervous, the queen asked;

"Queen, I'm not feeling well, do you need to call the imperial doctor?"

Empress Dowager Lu was also shrewd, she held back her tears, pulled Qin Keqing and said;
"It's okay. The Ai family is happy to see this girl. I never thought it would suit my eyes so much. By the way, I will give a greeting gift when I come."

As he spoke, he took out a token from his bosom, made of pure gold, on which was written the style of the Empress Dowager's Palace of Compassion and Peace, and took off the green jade bracelet from his hand, pulled Qin Keqing's wrist, and put it on without explanation Go up, put the token in Qin Keqing's hand, and say;
"Look at how beautiful this is. Take the token and go directly to the palace when you have time. Talk to me, an old lady, is it Mrs. Wang?"

"Yes, Queen Mother, girl, I still don't thank the Queen Mother for the reward."

Mrs. Wang saw that the queen mother was firm and knew that she couldn't shirk it, so she had to agree, and she didn't forget to remind that girl Qin who was stunned.

Only then did Qin Keqing come to her senses, thinking of kneeling down and thanking her;

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness."

Empress Dowager Lu was also very pleased to see that she was her own granddaughter. It had been almost 20 years, and suddenly she felt cold. This matter must not be known to outsiders, and few people have seen the princess.

The queen was also a little surprised that the queen mother spent so much money, and was very moved, after all, it was for herself.

"Wang Shi, look at how good this girl is, the queen mother has rewarded you, so naturally I can't lag behind. Xia Yu brought the things here."

"Yes, ma'am."
