Splendid peasant girl

Chapter 1088 Are you still alive?

When Shen Qiqiao returned to the palace from Hanlin Academy, it was already dark.

After getting out of the carriage and walking into the palace, the butler, A Dong, hurried forward to inform that there was an invitation from the palace, which had been placed on the table in the study.

Shen Qiqiao quickly went to the study.

"Princess, what's the matter?"

Xiaomei asked cautiously.

"It's nothing, it's just that the Empress Dowager's birthday is coming, and she wants to celebrate with a banquet."

Shen Qiqiao sat lazily on the beauty chair, casually threw the invitation aside, and slowly thought about it.

After the death of the first emperor, King Jing'an ascended the throne as the emperor, and this Empress Dowager Lu became the Empress Dowager. No matter how you look at it, she is a leader in the harem.

She said that she would hold a birthday banquet, and as an ordinary female family member, she would feel honored to receive such an invitation and would definitely go, but Shen Qiqiao was different.

She is now the princess regent, no one dares to offend her, even the empress dowager has to give her seven points of face.

Therefore, her invitation card was separated out separately, with modest words and respectful words specially used on it.

This is absolutely unacceptable treatment for others.

"Princess, are you going? If you are going, the servants can tidy up."

"Let's talk about it, by the way, is the prince back?"

"Grandpa, she...seems like she hasn't come back yet."

Xiaolan on the other side answered truthfully.

Shen Qiqiao frowned, a little unhappy, "It's so late, and you haven't come back yet?"

"Going back to the princess, something in the palace has delayed me."

"Is it something about the court?"

"I don't know about this servant girl, but a father-in-law in the palace has sent a message before, saying that if the princess comes back, she can eat and rest first."

"..."

Shen Qiqiao frowned slightly.

It's unscientific that Ling Mohan didn't come back.

No matter how busy he is on weekdays, he will come back after noon at most, because he wants to have dinner with him.

And Shen Qiqiao would definitely set up the bowls and chopsticks to wait for him.

It's always been that way, and it hasn't changed.

But today...

It's amazingly weird.

Shen Qiqiao stood up, straightened her skirt, "Go, go to the palace!"

"Princess, this...isn't that good?"

"What's wrong?"

Shen Qiqiao stared at her almond-shaped eyes, and Xiaolan knelt down in fright, "Princess, it's going to be dark today..."

"Oh, I'm afraid of the dark?"

"..."

Xiaolan looked at her master in astonishment, didn't you always hide in the prince's arms when it was dark before, and you were so scared?

Ok……

It is summer now, and it gets dark very late, so when Shen Qiqiao came to the palace by night, it was already very late.

Seeing the chariot of the Prince Regent's Mansion at the gate of the palace, he naturally did not dare to stop him, and immediately let Shen Qiqiao in.

"Where is the Regent?"

Entering the palace, Shen Qiqiao called a senior servant eunuch for questioning.

The father-in-law looked a little hesitant, but finally told her: "Go back to the princess, the prince is at the empress dowager's place."

"The Empress Dowager?"

Shen Qiqiao was stunned, how could her Xiao Hanhan go to the Empress Dowager?

This is a bit of a problem!

"Go, go to Longevity Palace!"

Longevity Palace.

Ling Mohan struggled to support the ground, there were big drops of sweat on his forehead, and he was panting heavily.

In front of him, a cloud of blue light was looming, flickering, flickering with a palpitating light.

"You... still not dead?"

Ling Mohan gritted his teeth, and said fiercely, staring at the blue light, full of anger!
"Hehe...heh, almost...dead..."

A weak voice came from the blue light.
