happy event

Chapter 436
In the past few days, the people in the palace have been very busy.

The matter of Murong Huaide in the grassland is not yet a foregone conclusion, while Dong Rong here is in a hurry about her daughter.The Queen Mother's birthday banquet is also slowly on the agenda, but all the preparations have not officially started yet.

Dong Rong suddenly felt that she was too entangled in the affairs of the palace recently.The things in the shop are seldom taken care of, and it was extremely busy before, but it is not as laborious as it is now.

I didn't like the battles in the palace, so I didn't bother to play any role in the palace.But now he was dragged in passively, and had to rack his brains to fight that annoying Concubine Bo.

In any case, this time, Chen Xi's thoughts about Murong Hao will be cut off.

Looking back, with her simple personality, if she really entered the palace and encountered those dense and entangled relationships in the palace, wouldn't she soon lose her qualifications for happiness?
Thinking of this, Dong Rong asked A to drive faster with a carriage.

She has to quickly help Chen Xi break the back road.

"Ah!"

Chen Xi, who was carefully inspecting the goods in the shop, suddenly felt an itchy nose and sneezed without warning.The buddy on the other side who was staring at her was so teased that his face turned red and he didn't dare to laugh out loud.

"Who's talking about me?!"

Chen Xi touched her nose cutely, muttered softly, and continued to check the goods.

Finally, under Jia Yi's hurry to get off, the carriage slowly prepared to drive into the palace.

When there was still a distance, Jiayi outside found a special situation, and he hurriedly reported it to Dong Rong in the car, "Madam, I saw the man on the palace wall, who seemed to be staring at our carriage all the time."

When A spoke, he looked straight ahead, without looking at the palace wall.

After Dong Rong got the news, she quickly opened the front hidden window, let Jia Yi cover her, and stared at the little eunuch on the palace wall.

This person looks relatively young and thin, but he still has a bit of appearance.

He stared at the carriage, and when he saw the carriage entering the palace gate, his figure hurriedly disappeared under the palace wall.

"Send someone to find out who he is."

After confirming that the man's eyes were following the carriage, Dong Rong arranged for the hidden guards to investigate.

She is not yet a member of the palace, but she has already been stared at openly and secretly. It seems that she needs to pay more attention to things in the future.

When they arrived at the Empress Dowager's Palace, Dong Rong saw the Empress Dowager welcoming her at the door before the carriage stopped.

Although the temperature is not too low today, it is still winter. The empress dowager is old and weak, how could she stand at the door to greet her?
Unless something big happened?
Or was there someone in the room she didn't want to see?
In just this short glance, countless thoughts had already appeared in Dong Rong's mind. She looked at the serious-looking Empress Dowager in front of her, jumped off the carriage, walked towards her, and said as she walked, "Queen, it's so cold, why are you standing outside?"

She walked over and held the Queen Mother's hand worriedly. Fortunately, there was a handwarmer in her hand, and the temperature was okay.

Seeing that Dong Rong finally got out of the car, the empress dowager's expression became relaxed. Faced with Dong Rong's concern, she said lightly, "Hey, isn't this the new wintersweet blooming again? Aijia wants to take you there Just have a look."

After all, he took Dong Rong's hand involuntarily and ran directly to Lamei Garden.

"How did you find out that there was such a medicine?"

Dong Rong was dragged by the empress dowager all the way to the depths of the garden. The wintersweet was still in full bloom a few days ago, but now it looks a bit withered.Although not as beautiful as before, it also has a different charm.Before Dong Rong had time to appreciate it, the empress dowager's worried words came to her ears.

"You know all about it?"

No way, Dong Rong's heart skipped a beat, she was looking for someone to check at her own home, and rushed to the palace as soon as she got the news, how could she be discovered by the empress dowager.

"Yes, you don't have to worry. I heard from one of my confidant doctors. He said that a friend of his went to investigate this matter yesterday. He was worried that he might have something to do with Ai's family, so he came to tell Ai's family."

With such an explanation, Dong Rong felt a little relieved.But I still feel terrified. Are all the affairs of my palace under the empress dowager's control?

Forget it, if she had thought too much, she wouldn't have said it so clearly today.

At this moment, it would be better to make things clear.

"Yes, that's why I came to you in such a hurry. I hope you can check, what's going on?"

"The Ai family is also very puzzled. You said it was so good, but someone drugged the emperor. I have already sent someone to inquire about the little maid. It should be a newcomer. One of the eunuchs who has a good relationship with her is Xiaoqiuzi Yes. And this little Qiuzi is said to be closer to Eunuch Guo."

It's just that in such a short period of time, the empress dowager's network of contacts has almost checked all these things in the palace, which really made Dong Rong deeply afraid.

It seems that in the palace, if you really want to be unknown to others, unless you do nothing yourself.

But if the Empress Dowager had to personally intervene in anything, would her old man's body be able to handle it?
So she paused, and persuaded the empress dowager loudly, "This is not a big deal, how can you bother so much? You still need to take good care of your body. No, the birthday banquet is imminent. You have to pay it back." Keep up the good work!"

Dong Rong said that she was picking a wintersweet flower beside her, and the faint fragrance rushed over, and then she took the opportunity to move closer to the empress dowager, "The wall has ears, let's talk in another place."

It turned out that when she was about to pick the flowers, she saw the familiar figure on the palace wall again.

The little eunuch either didn't worry about his identity being exposed or died; or he felt that he was covering up well and had a rather silly personality.

Dong Rong turned towards that vague direction and pouted her lips at the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager immediately understood and turned around to smell the fragrance of the flowers.

But when she was sniffing the fragrance of flowers, she suddenly stretched out her hand ahead of her, and the little eunuch who thought she was hiding in the dark was instantly grabbed by the corner of her clothes.

"Ah, Empress Dowager, please spare my life! The slave didn't do it on purpose, the slave just likes flowers."

After the man was suddenly caught by the empress dowager, he quickly found an excuse to refuse, but it was such a short distance, and he had to pick flowers even when he was close to his ear. This excuse really made people laugh.

"Tell me, why are you following me?"

Dong Rong didn't spare him, she walked over and grabbed his ear, and pulled him to a quiet place.While pulling, he warned the mothers around the empress dowager to find someone to check carefully whether there were other people in the wintersweet garden.

After checking, it was confirmed that there was no one else, so the empress dowager and Dong Rong dragged the little eunuch into the nearby cold palace.

The desolate cold palace is no longer inhabited, and it happens to be a good place for conversation.

Mammy was worried that the empress dowager would be cold, so she changed her into a thicker cloak earlier, and even in the cold palace in advance, she found someone to light the only stove left by the empress dowager.

Now when the two entered, they saw that although the room was plain, it was warm.

"What's your name?"

After the little eunuch was caught, his expression showed no panic. It could be seen that although he was young, he had definitely spent a lot of time in the palace.

"Little Qiuzi."

Facing the Empress Dowager, Xiao Qiuzi absolutely had nothing to hide.Besides, even though the things he did were against his own will, they were all for Linglong's benefit, and he admitted it.

No matter what these two people asked, as long as it was related to him, he would admit it.

Of course, if there was anything related to Linglong, he would not admit it.

"For Linglong, you followed me, right?"

But just when he made up his mind, Dong Rong didn't seem to want to forgive him.Her words directly broke Xiao Qiuzi's calmness.

He was still standing respectfully, but when Linglong's name came out, Dong Rong clearly felt his fingers move.

Although the other parts were well controlled, this only small detail exposed his thoughts.

"Who is Linglong?"

There was no sound for a long while, and after Xiaoqiuzi finished speaking, he regained his composure.

"I remember that Linglong still has a grandfather in the capital. Queen Mother, should we call her grandfather directly?"

Thinking of the name Linglong, Dong Rong seemed to vaguely remember that Yiba once said that there was such a person, and that Chenxi gave her money or something.So now, let her think of it.

"of course can."

The Empress Dowager sat on a higher chair, stared at Xiao Qiuzi who was pretending to be calm, and answered Dong Rong's words sonorously, hoping to arouse Xiao Qiuzi's fear.

But the strange thing is that after Dong Rong finished saying this, an imperceptible smile flashed across Xiao Qiuzi's face.

what's the situation?
Is this grandpa a fake?
Right away, Dong Rong knew why the child was so calm.It seems that I have underestimated this Linglong. It turns out that she started to play tricks on Chenxi so early.

"Send someone to check right away."

When the Empress Dowager saw Xiao Qiuzi's expression, she knew that the situation had changed, but since she had made an arrangement, she must make arrangements to the end.

"You can do whatever you want. The old man doesn't know Linglong when we get there. He won't do anything."

Xiaoqiuzi's momentary elation exposed important information he knew.The empress dowager felt that it was useless to keep this person, and his thoughts on Linglong were clearly revealed, so she put him back first, and let him break the news to the people behind him.

"That makes sense. But why should we bother about these things for the sake of a court lady? We'd better arrange the birthday banquet properly. Empress Dowager, do you think it is right to decorate this cold palace a little bit and design it like a palace to entertain guests from all over the world?" Not a very good idea?"

"Very good, that's it. You have opened so many fruit shops outside, so you should know how to arrange them!"

The Empress Dowager also took the initiative to follow Dong Rong and abandoned Xiao Qiuzi. After talking, the two got up and went outside to search again.
