imperial coddle

Chapter 133 The Queen Mother
Lu Xueming almost forced out a few words from between his teeth. He was afraid that if he couldn't help it, he would rush to Nangong Ling's imperial study room, pull him out and kill him with a knife. That girl is still so young, Nangong Ling How did Chen manage to do it, and she has always been serious and principled, why is she so confused at the moment, does she know what she is doing, she is not married yet, how can she be like this don't care about their reputation.

Lu Xueyao walked to the room where Lu Xueyao was in a somewhat dispirited manner, and found that she was gone after only saying a few words.

"Where's the princess?"

"Return to Your Highness, the princess has gone to the Queen Mother, and said she went to meet the Queen Mother."

"It's just nonsense."

Lu Xueming really felt exhausted at the moment, the pain Yan Qingjun gave him, and a sister who never let him worry, he found that his disguise was so in the way at the moment, it was for the purpose of being in the heart of his father. There is a place for him, so he pretended and made some small moves behind his back. Now that he is a prince, he can only avenge his mother and concubine. Years of strategizing were interrupted by Yan Qingjun who suddenly appeared.

Lu Xueming felt that he was powerless to think about anything at the moment. He was jealous of Nangong Lingchen, madly jealous, but she liked it so much. He thought that if he killed Nangong Lingchen, she would be his own, but now he is still You can kill Nangong Lingchen and let her be herself, but then she will hate herself. She doesn't want that to happen. On the one hand, he loves her so much, and there is also the hatred of his mother and concubine. What should I do? Do it, how to do it so that it will not be so painful.

Lu Xueyao took her maid and followed the maids in the palace all the way to the gate of Shoukang Palace. Lu Xueyao arranged her appearance and asked the maid to knock on the door. Soon a little maid came out.

"who are you?"

"Our princess is Princess Qinglong. Please let me know when I come to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."

"Hold on."

The little palace maid closed the door and walked in, Lu Xueyao's eyes flashed a trace of displeasure, if it wasn't for Yi, she would not have come to this broken palace, she dared to look down on this princess, when he becomes a Japanese princess, Princess Yi wants you to look good .

"Report to the Empress Dowager. Qinglong's princess said outside the palace that she would come to see you."

"Oh, when I met Aijia, I said that Aijia was not feeling well."

"Yes, the servant girl will go back to her now."

"Wait, let her in."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

The queen mother suddenly felt that since she was a princess, why not meet her by herself!Maybe she will help that child Yi'er in the future, since she wants to see herself, why don't she give her face and see what she wants to say.

Lu Xueyao, who was waiting outside the door, almost jumped up. Did the damn maid go to report? At this time, the door opened, and the little palace lady walked out, saying casually:

"Your Majesty, please come in."

Lu Xueyao didn't even look at the court lady, her patience had long been worn out by that kind of waiting, it was already giving her shame by not getting angry at her now, and she still wanted to give her a good face In a dream, Lu Xueyao followed the little maid all the way to the main hall, and saw the queen mother sitting gracefully and luxuriously on the queen mother's exclusive throne from a distance.

"Xueyao, I have met the Empress Dowager."

"Princess, you don't need to be too polite, someone will give you a seat."

"Thank you Queen Mother, it would be good if Queen Mother called me Xueyao."

"Okay, the Ai family will call you Xueyao, I don't know what Xueyao is talking about when she sees me."

"Xueyao came to thank the Queen Mother."

"Thank you Aijia, what does this mean?"

"A few days ago, Xueyao was on the streets of the capital, and nearly encountered bad guys. Fortunately, His Royal Highness Yi Wang appeared in time, and Xueyao was able to escape. Today, Xueyao came here specially to thank the Queen Mother."

"Oh, there is such a thing, you should thank Yi'er, why did you come to Ai's house?"

"Prince Yi is so kind-hearted because of your good teaching, the queen mother. Xueyao naturally wants to thank the prince for saving his life. Naturally, he also thanks the queen mother for teaching him so well."

At this moment, the Queen Mother finally understands, it turns out that this is the case, there is nowhere to find her, and before she wants to take advantage of her, she comes up to her, seeing how her eyes shine when she speaks of Yi'er, come to think of it It belongs to Zhong Yier, wait for yourself to ask before asking.

"Xueyao, you can really talk, this little mouth looks like it has been smeared with honey."

"Wherever the Queen Mother said, Xue Yao was telling the truth."

Lu Xueyao tried her best to behave gracefully. The woman in the harem is smart, but she can't stand up to a few compliments from her. As long as she is dealt with, Yi's chance of becoming herself is half won.

"Xueyao in Qinglong must be the favorite of His Majesty Qinglong."

"As for the queen mother, Xueyao is the youngest daughter of my father, so I dote on her a little more. In addition, my father doesn't have many heirs. My elder brother was selected as a prince to go out to practice since he was a child. My mother and concubine left early. My father is very serious about Xueyao. She is more pampered than ordinary brothers and sisters."

Lu Xueyao snorted coldly in her heart, she was not stupid to ask such an obvious question, she just asked where could she not be favored by her father, she answered lightly, her great favor, elder brother is also a prince, so she was not tempted.

"Oh, that Xueyao is very lucky."

At this moment, the eunuch outside walked in cautiously, first glanced at Lu Xueyao, then bowed respectfully to the queen mother above, and said in a low voice:
"Queen Mother, the prince and Concubine Lin have come to greet you."

As soon as the queen mother heard her son, she smiled for a moment, and heard Lin Xue the next second. It was a little strange, how could they come together, that girl has always been sensible, it is best not to do anything out of bounds.

"Let them in."

Lu Xueyao was also extremely excited when she heard about Nangong Lingyi, and the next second she heard Concubine Lin, she tightened her hand holding the handkerchief, that damned woman is already a concubine and doesn't obey women's ways , pestering her Yi, he will not let her off so easily.

"Queen, the relationship between the prince and the concubine seems to be very good."

"Yes, they are brother and sister. Xueer is Yier's cousin. They grew up together, and their relationship is closer than that of ordinary siblings. However, Yi has always regarded Xueer as a younger sister."

sister?Lu Xueyao snorted coldly, seeing that the Queen Mother deliberately shielded the two of them, there was a brother and sister who looked at her cousin like that, let alone her own sister-in-law, but Lu Xueyao would not take the initiative to say it stupidly, The less you know about some things, the better for yourself and others. At this moment, Nangong Lingyi and Lin Xue walked in one after the other.

"My son, my concubine pays respects to the queen mother."

"Get up, why did Yi'er come here with Xue'er today?"

"As for the concubine, the son met the imperial concubine on the way here and came here together, right? The imperial concubine."

Lin Xue paused for a moment, then whispered, "Yes."

"Okay, let's all sit down, Xue'er comes to Aijia's side, Aijia's shoulder will hurt if you don't let you squeeze it for a few days."

"Yes, the Empress Dowager."

"There will be no outsiders here, so don't call me Queen Mother, call me aunt, by the way, Yi'er Xueyao said that you rescued her outside the palace a few days ago, is there any such thing?"

Only then did Nangong Lingyi feel that there was another person above the main hall. Nangong Lingyi turned around and saw Lu Xueyao, frowning. Why is she here? It seems that the queen mother likes it very much.

"My lord, Xueyao came to thank you for saving your life that day."

"Princess, you don't need to be too polite. This king said that day, even if it wasn't you but someone else, this king will naturally save you."

"Hehe, my lord, why be so polite as Xueyao, just call me Xueyao."

Nangong Lingyi didn't know why, but he didn't like Lu Xueyao from the bottom of his heart. To be honest, Lu Xueyao was more beautiful than Lin Xueyao, with every frown and smile exuding endless charm, but if he didn't like it, he just didn't like it. People didn't feel anything, and said slowly:
"Yi'er, take Xueyao to look around the garden of Shoukang Palace. This is Xueyao's first visit to Shoukang Palace, and the flowers outside are all blooming."

"Hiss, what's the matter with you kid? Are you going to hurt Aijia to death? You're clumsy, go away."

"I'm sorry, Auntie, I didn't mean to."

"Okay, I don't need you, come here."

The queen mother's words made Lin Xue lose control of her strength and squeezed harder. Lin Xue kept her head down, making it impossible to see what she was thinking. Nangong Lingyi looked at Lin Xue with her head down, and her eyes A hint of distress flashed in his heart, if he still couldn't understand what the queen mother meant so clearly, then he was really too stupid.

Nangong Lingyi sighed in her heart. The queen mother really thought about how to expand her power all the time, but she never asked herself whether those were what she wanted. Letting Lu Xueyao here made Xueer feel even more uncomfortable. It's better to take her out and get rid of her.

"Okay, the minister will take the princess and go outside for a walk."

"Xueyao, please leave first."

"Go, let Yi'er take a good look with you."

Soon Nangong Lingyi took Lu Xueyao out of the gate of Shoukang Palace. The queen mother looked at Lin Xue who had kept her head down, her eyes were slightly cold. This niece of hers had made no progress in marrying that bastard for so long. Gou's own son lost his soul because of her, if it wasn't for his mother's family, she would be kept there.

"Xue'er, you have to understand that you are already the emperor's concubine, and Yi'er still has a bright future. If you really think about Yi'er, hold the little emperor's heart. You and Yi'er have different identities. As a woman, even if the little emperor divorces you, can you be worthy of Yi'er? The woman just now is the most favored princess in Qinglong Kingdom, here is what Aijia said, you are a smart child, you should know what Aijia means , Aijia is a little tired, you go back."

For the first time, Lin Xue didn't bow her eyebrows pleasingly, but stood stiffly on the spot, the handkerchief in her hand was tightened and then loosened, and the queen mother didn't seem to care whether she saluted or not, the queen mother supported the eunuch's The hand walked directly in front of her, without looking at her the whole time.
