Chapter 67 Tai Chi with the Queen
Emperor Liang has been worried about the envoys of the Tang Dynasty recently. He wanted to use this banquet to solve this problem. Unexpectedly, under the male and female doubles fight between Dongfang Yuebai and Su Chengying, the Tang Dynasty was about to become a forbidden word. Who knows? Do you still dare to take the initiative to get involved?

However, the issue of tribute during the prosperous Tang Dynasty was imminent and could not be ignored without being mentioned.

After much thought, Emperor Liang could only end the banquet early and let several important ministers and princes go to sober up first, and then go to the imperial study to report.

Seeing this, the female relatives in the palace had no reason to stay any longer, so they all got up and walked out of the palace.

Just at this time, I saw a palace maid coming in a hurry, "This servant has been ordered by the Concubine Xian to send a special message to the two girls from the Duke's Palace to pay homage to the Concubine Xian."

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding ladies stopped to watch. Dongfang Ronglu was just a concubine, but she was so valued by the virtuous concubine. How could she not be envied?

But just as Dongfang Ronglu left, Aunt Xi came over again, "The Queen has invited Princess Shengtang to have tea at Fengyi Palace."

Ladies, "..."

If he was envious of Dongfang Ronglu just now, now he is only jealous of Su Chengying.

Everyone in Beiliang knows that no matter how many banquets are held in the palace, although the Queen is kind and considerate to the ladies in Beijing, she has never been close to anyone.

After all, the empress has no children, so there is no point in wooing the ladies in Beijing.

But now it was the Empress who was indifferent to everyone, and for the first time, she went to Fengyi Palace to sit and drink tea with Su Chengying...

Just ask who is not jealous? !
Su Chengying followed Nanny Xi out of the hall almost under the direct gaze of all the ladies.

Aunt Xi had a very good impression of Su Chengying. She took the initiative to chat with Su Chengying along the way and told Su Chengying that there was no need to be nervous. The Queen was not a difficult person to get along with.

When they arrived at Fengyi Palace, Su Chengying thanked Nanny Xi and then entered the palace alone.

"Chengying greets the Queen, may the Queen be blessed with peace and happiness." Su Chengying bowed politely and said hello.

Empress Meng, who was holding the soup cup, called Su Chengying to her with a smile, pointed to another bowl of soup on the table and said, "I just brought the bird's nest and white fungus. I have been coughing heavily at night. The imperial doctor." Let the palace people stew this stuff all day long. It is nourishing anyway, so you can drink some with me."

It is an incomparable honor to be able to sit and drink with the Queen.

Su Chengying thanked her and sat down, then asked, "Is it possible for the Queen to get a safe pulse?"

Queen Meng was stunned, then remembered that Su Chengying had studied medicine at Su Jiajun School, and handed over her wrist.

Su Chengying checked the pulse on her wrist and took it back after a moment. "Food therapy is indeed more beneficial to the body than medicine, but the Queen's pulse is floating and wet. She doesn't press hard enough, and she often has accumulation in her stomach." Heat and spleen deficiency are symptoms of food stagnation. If you take bird's nest and white fungus for a long time, it may increase the burden on the spleen and stomach."

Queen Meng didn't want to reject Su Chengying, but she didn't expect that the problem was actually found out?
Su Chengying smiled and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. In the future, the Queen only needs to ask the palace officials to add red dates and lotus seeds to the bird's nest and white fungus to neutralize it."

Queen Meng raised her eyebrows, "I just made things difficult for you, but you repaid evil with kindness."

Su Chengying knew that the Empress was referring to helping Dongfang Ronglu to torture the emperor, so she said calmly, "Chengying can understand the Empress's thoughts."

He knew it well, but he acted carelessly in front of her?
Empress Meng said with a smile but not a smile, "The Su family in the prosperous Tang Dynasty not only gave birth to a good daughter, but also a smart one. But think about it, since you just had a conflict with the emperor in the palace, why don't you dare to fool me now? ." When Su Chengying heard this, she stood up and knelt on the ground, and apologized in an unusually humble and respectful manner, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Queen Meng looked at Su Chengying who knelt down whenever she asked, and the smile on her lips seemed a little stiff. She knew that Su Chengying was smart, but she didn't expect that she could really be so secretive.

She showed her kindness by doing Tai Chi and pretending to be confused.

When she demonstrated, she admitted her mistake faster than anyone else.

Queen Meng was really punching cotton wool one after another, feeling quite powerless.

After a long while, Queen Meng sighed, "I know that you are quite wary of me, but have you ever thought that with the empty airs of the Duke's Palace, how could Dongfang Yuebai be so clever? Appreciated by the Fifth Prince?"

Su Chengying was stunned for a moment, feeling as if she had heard a big secret.

The princes who choose talents are either based on their family status or their talent and learning, but Dongfang Yuebai, on the surface, has nothing to do with either of them.

But the fifth prince just believed him.

Su Chengying was curious in her previous life, but she didn't expect that it was the Queen who was the matchmaker?
But why?
Why is the Queen so sure that Dongfang Yuebai will help the fifth prince with all her heart?

"When Mrs. Guo Gongfu died in childbirth, some people began to make plans. Even before Mrs. Guo Gongfu's body was still cold, their heads were squeezed into dogs' heads and they started to move step by step, just to find someone who could serve as the official's wife. The new wife I use..."

Su Chengying knew that the Queen Mother was referring to Concubine Liu Ren.

The presence of the empress and the empress in the harem has reached out to the Duke's palace again. No matter what Concubine Liu Ren's plan is, the empress cannot sit idly by.

Therefore, the Queen is willing to introduce the fifth prince to Dongfang Yuebai and make Dongfang Yuebai hers.

After thinking about everything, Su Chengying had to admire the Queen's skill.

Empress Meng saw what Su Chengying was thinking and said, "What I did was indeed what you had in mind, but more importantly, I owed the Duke's wife a favor..."

When mentioning the past, Empress Meng choked up slightly and did not continue talking. Instead, she personally stretched out her hand to pull Su Chengying up, "You are a smart child. You should be very aware of your current situation. Rather than being helpless in the Duke's Mansion, If you have no one to rely on, it’s better to follow Yuebai’s wife.”

Su Chengying smiled bitterly, "It's not that Cheng Ying doesn't want to..."

Queen Meng smiled and said, "That child Yuebai grew up in such a twisted environment, so it is normal for him to be defensive, but his nature is not bad. As long as you have this kind of intention, you will eventually be able to get through it."

Su Chengying was stunned, feeling that the Queen seemed to have misunderstood what she meant, but just when she was about to explain, she saw Aunt Xi hurriedly enter the door.

Queen Meng said, "Chengying is not an outsider, you are the one."

Nanny Xi lowered her eyes and said, "Queen, Concubine Xian is making a lot of noise there, it seems something has happened!"
