The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 328 Reward from the Empress Dowager (3)
"Master, we entered Tiancheng in a hurry that day, and you started to be an official again, and you warned me not to contact Ping'er again. Are you still refusing to say it now?" Yu Mei whispered, her eyes filled with pleading.

"Ma'am, you believe me, I really do it for the good of Ping'er. Ping'er is your adopted daughter, and our son came into this world because of her. I only have love for her. We stay away from her for the sake of She is good!" Ruan Ji whispered.

Ruan Ji had said these words when he left Li Cheng, and Yu Mei nodded her head without further questioning.

After so many years, she has been used to regard Ruan Ji as the sky, although seeing Leng Ping recently, she felt very uncomfortable.

Madam Ruan was worried, and secretly sent her mother-in-law to inquire about what happened to Hu Diezhai later.

"It is said that Miss Leng had a big quarrel with the shopkeeper of Hu Die Zhai, and the quarrel made Hu Die Zhai unable to do business. Later, the shopkeeper knew that Miss Leng was from the Liu family. The treasure of the store, what do you think about Miss Leng?" The woman pursed her lips and smiled.

Mrs. Ruan remembered Leng Ping's fiery temper, and asked, "Are you not interested?"

"That's right, I looked at it carefully for a long time, and I also demoted it for a long time. The shopkeeper who demoted was about to cry. That's Liu's mansion, who dares to mess with it?" the old woman laughed softly.

Mrs. Ruan shook her head, "Ping'er hasn't changed, but she doesn't know that today's city is not as good as Licheng, and it pays attention to the level of the family. Fortunately, the people in Hu Die Zhai know that she is from the Liu family, otherwise they would not know it and make trouble again." What does it look like!"

The woman also said: "No, which of the big shops in the city is not supported by someone behind it? But the shopkeeper of Hu Die Zhai is indeed a dog's eye. Didn't the lady also receive a cold reception when she went there for the first time?" ?Other people, because of their status, can bear it, but Miss Leng can't bear it, this time it can be regarded as a lesson for Hu Diezhai!"

When Mrs. Ruan first came to Tiancheng, because she was a stranger, she also received a lot of blank stares. Since then, when she went out, there were always many people around her, and they were also dressed up. place with status.

She doesn't have the courage of Leng Ping, she can quarrel without knowing the details of the other party. Leng Ping said it was reckless, but she was also fearless and lived a chic life. Maybe she would not be able to live like this in her life.

"You go to the Liu Mansion to inquire again!" Mrs. Ruan whispered.

There must be a reason for Ruan Ji not to let her get in touch with Leng Ping, but Leng Ping is a country girl, what reason could there be?Could it be related to the Liu Mansion?Could it be that Ruan Ji already knew about the relationship between Leng Ping and the Liu Mansion?But it's not like that either!
In the study at the moment, Ruan Ji called Hai Guang in.

"What's the matter? What's the progress?" Ruan Ji asked in a low voice.

"Li Yanzhen asked Hao Chenyi to stay and take part in the palace examination, and there are still two months before the palace examination, so he probably wants to stay!" Hai Guang whispered.

Ruan Ji frowned, could it really be unavoidable?

"Master..." Seeing that Ruan Ji frowned and remained silent, Hai Guang called out in a low voice.

"Go down first!" Ruan Ji ordered in a low voice.

Hai Guang also went down first.

Hao Ren was a 13-year-old candidate, so naturally he should take the exam. If he didn't take the exam, people would be suspicious. In addition, Li Yanzhen regarded him very highly, and he mentioned it to his colleagues several times. Now, Hao Chenyi is considered a small figure in the court. fame.

Li Yanzhen was at odds with Concubine Pang and the Pang family. Liu Huan seemed to be inextricably linked with the Pang family. At first he thought that the Liu family would take the opportunity to promote his own people, but he didn't expect that Leng Ping was involved with the Liu family again.

It is even more impossible to prevent Hao Ren from participating in the imperial examination, unless...

Ruan Ji left and called Hai Guang in again, and whispered instructions in his ear, Hai Guang nodded and hurried to do it.

Ruan Ji still frowned.

Mrs. Liu went to the palace more than any other wives. This was also because of the deep relationship between Mrs. Liu and the Queen Mother.

This time Mrs. Liu fell ill and did not go to the palace for three consecutive months. The Queen Mother missed her very much.

The Empress Dowager sent all the imperial physicians in the palace and people from the family of famous doctors to visit, but when they came back, they all said that Mrs. Liu was old and confused, and there was no way to cure her.

The queen mother is about the same age as Mrs. Liu, and the queen mother feels uncomfortable when she hears this, and always feels that Mrs. Liu's present is her future.

When people are old, they are afraid of death. If they die well, it’s fine. If they are confused, they will do something out of the ordinary...

During those days when Mrs. Liu was ill, the Queen Mother was also in a bad mood.

Now that Mrs. Liu is well and can enter the palace, the queen mother is naturally happy, and told the imperial dining room early in the morning that she will stay at Mrs. Liu for lunch at noon.

The Empress Dowager also had people waiting at the gate of the palace from the morning, and was led by the people in the Empress Dowager's palace, and Mrs. Liu came in smoothly.

So as soon as Liu's carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, Eunuch Pu Shun from the Empress Dowager's Palace greeted him.

Mrs. Liu was taken aback. She knew the importance of Pu Shun in the queen mother's heart, but she was even more moved.

"Please trouble Eunuch Park!" Madam Liu said.

Eunuch Pu hurriedly said: "Mrs. Liu, don't be too polite. Our queen mother has been waiting for you for a long time. I am very happy to know that you have recovered from your illness!"

Mrs. Liu nodded, put down the curtain, and went to the second palace gate in a carriage.

Liu Yuanshi was waiting in the carriage, seeing that it was Pu Shunlai who greeted him personally, he also felt radiant on his face.

When they reached the second gate, most people had to get off the carriage and walk in, but Pu Shun was pushed away.

"How can this be good? It's against the rules!" Mrs. Liu waved her hands resolutely, not taking a step forward.

"The Empress Dowager is sympathetic to Mrs. Liu who is just recovering from a serious illness, so please continue, Mrs. Liu!" Pu Shun persuaded.

Mrs. Liu said: "I appreciate the empress dowager's kindness, but this rule cannot be changed. Let alone being able to walk now, I will go to see the empress dowager even if I can't walk!"

Seeing her insistence, Pu Shun had no choice but to let someone step back and lead the way.

Liu Yuanshi hurriedly supported Mrs. Liu, and they left thinking about the Empress Dowager's residence, the Ci Ning Palace.

In the Palace of Mercy Ning, the Empress Dowager was dressed in a homely dress, she didn't deliberately dress up, she was holding Mrs. Nuan in her arms, seeing Mrs. Liu coming in, she couldn't help but look at her first.

Mrs. Liu has been ill for three months, naturally she has lost some energy, but now she seems to be in good spirits.

"Greetings to the Empress Dowager!" Mrs. Liu knelt down and saluted together with Liu Yuanshi.

The queen mother hurriedly said: "Get up quickly, your illness is just right, and you have walked such a long way in the cold wind, can your body still bear it?"

The Empress Dowager has many eyes and ears in the palace, and the Empress Dowager knew about the fact that Madam Liu didn't rush her over.
