Chapter 172 Reevaluation
As soon as the green curtain opened, a wave of heat rushed towards my face. The sun outside was very strong, shining on the blue tile floor, and the soles of the embroidered shoes were slightly thin, which made my feet feel hot.

The carriage was not allowed to go straight at the palace gate, and the cicadas outside were annoying. Li Baojia was helped out of the carriage by Lu Yi, and some sweat broke out on his forehead before he took two steps.

The little maid next to her followed suit and fanned her, but all she got was hot air.

The palace is a very regulated place. Here, a young lady of no rank can neither walk around nor hold a big parasol. Even concubines and concubines have a clear distinction between what they can wear and what colors they can wear. Clearly.

Although Li Baojia is about to become a princess, she has no rank yet, so she can only walk there against the sun.

Fortunately, the Queen's Fengming Palace was not too far away and we arrived quickly.

After all, she was the mother of her future husband, so she was still a little nervous, and inevitably worried about whether the Queen would be satisfied with her.

With an anxious mood, she soon arrived at the entrance of Fengming Palace. The closer she got, the quieter the chirping of the cicadas became.

Under the tree, several eunuchs were busy catching cicadas with nets. It was probably because the masters thought the noise was noisy that they ordered them to take them away.

After entering the door, she felt a chill. She straightened her body and glanced up secretly, only to find that there were many people sitting in the hall.

Below are probably the concubines who came into the palace to pay homage to the queen, and behind them there were many young unmarried ladies. At this moment, their eyes were all fixed on Li Baojia.

Although the weather was hot at this time, the girl was dressed in red, with a peony pendant on her head and two jade hairpins hanging next to her. Her eyes looked as if they could talk and she was very smart. There was no makeup on her face. Her lips are red and her teeth are white, and she is a bit more delicate than the dolls painted that year.

No wonder she is so anxious to marry someone after winning His Highness's favor.

No matter how the several wives secretly looked at her, or how the ladies below secretly compared her, Li Baojia didn't know anything about it, and she didn't know there would be so many people today.

She walked over and bowed politely and said, "Wish you the best, Queen."

With their heads lowered, the people above him remained silent for a long time, and the ladies below secretly exchanged glances.

It seems that this is to give her a warning. There have long been rumors that the queen prefers a daughter from the Zhou family to be her daughter-in-law. Now it seems that it is indeed true.

Otherwise, if the queen summoned Li Baojia today, why would she summon so many people at the same time?

There is also Xu Quyun at the bottom. She heard about the appointment of the crown princess early in the morning, and knew that it was Li Baojia. Although she knew that she was not destined for this position, she still felt a little sour in her heart.

She was also thinking about asking Su Ruhui, who seemed to be more talkative, to be the crown princess. By then she would have a backer when she entered the East Palace.

As a result, for some unknown reason, Su Ruhui seemed to have disappeared. It had been so long since she had appeared at any major banquet.

The Su family announced that she had returned to her hometown to get married, which was simply weird.

The Su family had coveted the position of the Crown Princess in the past. Everyone in the capital knew this. What's more, there were always rumors that His Highness the Crown Prince was interested in Su Ruhui.

As a result, at this critical moment for His Royal Highness to choose a concubine, not only Zhou Jianghua, who had been so arrogant and vigorous recently, disappeared, but the Queen was replaced by a new girl from the Zhou family. This Su Ruhui got married inexplicably and without any explanation. .

She is the most promising girl in the Su family to become the crown princess!
Compared to Su Ruhui, there are few other girls in the Su family who can watch.

In the end, the Su family was actually willing to let her go to her hometown to get married?

She took another look at Li Baojia, who was still there and kept saluting, and a few doubts flashed in her heart.

No matter how you look at this matter, it seems weird, and so is the Queen. She used to talk about Zhou Jianghua a lot, but now she doesn't mention it at all.

Of course she couldn't have known that Su Ruhui's story had reached the ears of the Su family, and her mother, Mrs. Su, almost fainted on the spot.

The legitimate daughter of a noble family actually got pregnant out of wedlock. It wouldn't matter if she was really His Highness, but she was still the remnant of the previous dynasty.

This is simply going to bring disaster to the Su family.

So the Su family expelled Su Ruhui from the family tree overnight, claiming that she had married in her hometown. If it weren't for His Highness not executing Su Ruhui on the spot, if they had killed her without permission, would they have done something unnecessary? They would have killed her long ago. Pulled back to Shen Tang.

It's just that this reason must be kept secret, because other girls in the family still have to look at each other.

They immediately sent people to Jiangnan to take her to a village in the countryside and locked her up. Anyway, she was crazy now and didn't recognize anyone.

After this, Mrs. Su became even more silent. She didn't even go to her favorite wife's party on weekdays, and stayed at home every day.

As for the Queen, let alone the matter of the Zhou family in Jiangnan has not spread to the capital. At this time, only the Queen knows, but she does not think it is a big deal at this time. After all, the prince is her son, and it is impossible to destroy her. The family?
Besides, she didn't really like Zhou Jianghua, not to mention that she was just a useless piece of chess now. It was a pity that she had spent all the energy on her in the past and wasted a lot of effort on cultivating a fool with a heart as high as the sky.

When Eunuch Huang saw that the Queen was still slow to call someone, he raised his head with a smile and bowed to the Queen: "Bless me, Your Majesty. Your Highness is now discussing things with the Emperor in the Yangxin Hall. He is still thinking about you, Your Majesty. He said that he will be there soon." Came to see you."

The implication is that your Majesty, please take it easy, His Highness will be here soon.

As he was talking, everyone realized that the person standing next to Li Baojia with his head lowered was Huang Gao, the eunuch beside the Crown Prince. He had served His Highness since he was a child. How many people were stuffing gifts for him and begging for help in a nice voice. He even looked at them. He didn't even look at it, but now he was actually sent to Li Baojia to protect her?
All the ladies below tightened their veils.

I re-evaluated Li Baojia's popularity in my heart. It seems that this girl from the Li family is not simple. His Highness does not attach great importance to her.

Because they came in one after another, the master bowed first, and the slaves bowed second. Li Baojia bowed, and the queen did not call her up, so just now they all ignored the eunuch who was bowing his head and respectfully beside her.

I didn't expect it to be him.

Although it was against the rules for him to speak before his master finished his salute, the people present did not dare to blame him. Although he was a slave, he was also a slave beside His Highness. No one dared to look down on him.

In the future, when His Highness takes the throne, he will be the chief steward of the household. Who wouldn't want him to help out and say a few words of good words, so that his husband can have an easier career in the court?
