Resourceful beauty

Chapter 298
"The Empress Dowager is here..."

Fang Ruxuan was looking at the account book in the inner hall when the sound of communication sounded outside the hall, she was startled for a moment, she hurriedly closed the account book and put it back in the drawer, got up and went out.

"Welcome to the Empress Dowager..."

As soon as Fang Ruxuan got down the stone steps in front of Xuanyi Hall, she saw the Empress Dowager Lou and her party walking in.

"Be flat."

Empress Dowager Lou screamed, passed Fang Ruxuan, and went straight into Xuanyi Hall.

After a short time, Hu Moyan and Xin Lan rushed over to inquire.

Looking at Fang Ruxuan, then at Hu Moyan and Xin Lan, the Empress Dowager Lou frowned slightly, "there are more than these people in the Eastern Palace. Now it seems that the Crown Princess is very skilled."

Not knowing the purpose of Empress Dowager Lou's visit, Fang Ruxuan did not dare to be sloppy, and saluted, "My grandson is afraid."

"Afraid?"

With a sneer, the Empress Dowager Lou asked back: "Last year's draft, didn't Donggong add Lin Liangdi? Where is he now?"

Fang Ruxuan didn't believe that the Empress Dowager Lou came here for Lin Ke'er, what's more, the Empress Dowager Lou should have known from Xin Lan about how Lin Ke'er was treated. Now she knows why and asked why?
Suspicious in her heart, Fang Ruxuan replied softly: "Lin Ke'er made a mistake and was reprimanded by His Highness. Now she is no longer the Liangdi of the Eastern Palace. As for her, if the Queen Mother wants to see her, the granddaughter-in-law will send someone to call her."

The Empress Dowager Lou was silent, Fang Ruxuan knew it well, looked back at Ding Xiang, nodded at her, and Ding Xiang went out to make arrangements clearly.

Waiting for Lin Keer's effort, Lou Dowager didn't speak again, as if she didn't bother to talk to Fang Ruxuan, the hall fell silent.

After a while, Empress Dowager Lou turned her head and asked Fang Ruxuan, "Where is Xingming?"

Fang Ruxuan's heart suddenly twitched.

"At this time, he is still asleep. When he wakes up, the granddaughter-in-law will ask the wet nurse to bring him over."

Fang Ruxuan responded softly, but the Empress Dowager Lou's gaze gradually deepened, and a slight smile appeared on her face.

Turning her head to look at Hu Moyan, the Empress Dowager Lou asked in a deep voice, "Have you been serving the prince for a year?"

Hu Moyan was stunned, and nodded, "It's been a year since the concubine entered the palace last year."

"The crown princess gave birth to Xingming in November last year, and just after half a year, she became pregnant again. Why has the side concubine stayed in bed for a year, but there is still no movement?"

The Queen Mother Lou's question was straightforward, and for a while, not only Hu Moyan, but also Fang Ruxuan and Xin Lan felt a little uncomfortable.

Embarrassed and not knowing how to answer, Hu Moyan remained silent, and at this moment, word spread from outside the hall that Lin Keer had arrived.

Looking up, the Empress Dowager Lou's gaze had already moved away from her body, Hu Moyan secretly heaved a sigh of relief, turned her head again, and met the apologetic gaze of Ruxuan above.

Hu Moyan shook his head with a relieved smile.

Dressed in a plain white dress, with only a pair of plain silver hairpins on her head, Lin Keer, who bowed her head and walked slowly, is as weak as a nearly withered flower on an autumn branch. pity.

"My concubine pays her respects to the empress dowager. The empress dowager is a thousand years old. I have seen the crown princess and side concubine..."

Lin Ke'er knelt down and saluted.

"Mr. Lin, tell me, what crime did you commit? The Crown Prince abolished your status as Emperor Liang and demoted you to a remote palace?"

Fang Ruxuan didn't give Fang Ruxuan any sympathy, so Empress Dowager Lou asked Lin Ke'er directly.

A layer of tears instantly formed in Lin Ke'er's eyes.

Her shoulders shrugged slightly, Lin Ke'er sobbed softly, kowtowed her head and said, "I, I didn't serve His Highness the Crown Prince well, which caused His Highness to be furious, and I have to blame myself for everything."

"Lin's words are unclear, but Ai's family didn't understand. Crown Princess, tell me."

Empress Dowager Lou pointed her finger at Fang Ruxuan.

Fang Ruxuan shook her head, "For the three banquets in Prince Ping's Mansion, the concubine attended in place of the Queen and the East Palace. It was already evening when I came back, and His Highness had already finished sending orders. As for what happened, only His Royal Highness and Mrs. Lin knew about it. I don’t know. If not, grandson-in-law will send someone to invite His Highness the Crown Prince back?”

Thinking of Chu Yuan, the Empress Dowager Lou felt a stab in her heart, and then looked at Fang Ruxuan, her gaze couldn't help being a little bit cold.

Fang Ruxuan smiled softly without any fear.

Annoyed in her heart, but because it is not easy to get angry in front of the juniors, the Empress Dowager Lou breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a deep voice: "The palace has always been strict, but, as far as Ai's family knows, the mistakes made by Mrs. Lin must not be so serious. To such a serious point. The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess claim to treat others leniently, but now, is this how they treat her?"

"What the Empress Dowager teaches is..."

Fang Ruxuan responded softly.

After waiting for a long time, seeing that Fang Ruxuan had nothing to say, Empress Dowager Lou felt dark again.

After glaring at Fang Ruxuan fiercely, the Empress Dowager Lou continued talking to herself: "Now, the foot confinement has been banned for a month. Even if the prince is angry, it should be relieved? When is the princess going to relieve Lin Shi?" The foot ban?"

"Princess Concubine, I know I was wrong, and I hope that the Crown Princess will forgive me, and I will never dare again..."

Turning to face Fang Ruxuan, Lin Ke'er kowtowed and kowtowed.

Facing him, Hu Moyan looked like he had nothing to do with himself, the old god was sitting there, and although Xinlan had the same general appearance, her ears were turned up high.

Fang Ruxuan smiled, "Forgive me, Queen Mother, and forgive my granddaughter-in-law for not obeying her orders."

"you……"

Angrily, she slapped the desk by her side, and the Empress Dowager Lou was panting with undulating chest. In this palace, the only one who dared to disobey her like this was Fang Ruxuan, the Crown Princess.

I can't take advantage of Chu Yuan, but Fang Ruxuan is a woman in the inner palace after all. The Empress Dowager Lou doesn't believe that she, with the respect of the Empress Dowager, will not be able to deal with a little concubine.

"Is this the rule of your Da Yuan? Are you allowed to disobey the elders?"

Speaking harshly, the Empress Dowager Lou looked at Fang Ruxuan sharply.

"Women have three obediences and four virtues, and I dare not forget them as a concubine. What's more, I am now a woman in heaven. Marrying and obeying my husband, the concubine dare not disobey your Highness's words. If your highness orders from the front, the concubine will let you go, then, Where is His Highness's prestige? As for the Empress Dowager who said that I disobeyed the elders, I hope that the Empress Dowager will forgive me, and I will not obey."

Fang Ruxuan spoke calmly, and when she finished speaking, she met Lin Keer's timid gaze, and Lin Keer lowered her head in fear for a moment.

The Empress Dowager Lou tightly held the Buddha string in her hand, wishing that the Buddha string was Fang Ruxuan, so that she could strangle her to death to vent her anger.

"The Tian family drafts every three years, one is to fill the harem, and the other is to win over the courtiers. The Lin family is a pure family, loyal and hardworking for the country. Now, the Lin family enters the palace to serve the prince. Within a year, he was demoted. Status, let the world know, if my family is so cold, and the crown prince acts recklessly and without rules, the crown princess should persuade me, is it going to hurt the hearts of the courtiers like this now?"

The Empress Dowager Lou spoke earnestly.

It wasn't until this time that Fang Ruxuan understood why the Empress Dowager Lou would come to the East Palace in such a mobilizing manner to intercede for Lin Ke'er.

Thinking about it, it was the Lin family who begged to the Marquis of Lin'an, and the Marquis of Lin'an begged to the Empress Dowager Lou.

I thought that Lin Keer was just a little Liangdi of the Eastern Palace, and the Queen Mother Lou could quickly solve it with a word, but I didn't expect that neither Chu Yuan nor Fang Ruxuan was obedient. At this moment, the Queen Mother Lou might even eat Chu alive. Both Yuan and Fang Ruxuan have hearts.

"Once you enter the palace, you are part of the Tian family. If the Lin family can still rely on the power of the family to cause chaos in the palace, then it will violate the original intention of the draft. The Lin family has already made a mistake, and if you don't reflect on yourself, it is already a mistake. If Lin If the clan does not take it as a warning, but thinks that the Tian family is not lenient towards others, then it is not only the Lin family who made a mistake. I also hope that the empress dowager will learn from it..."

"What a clever mouth..."

Before Fang Ruxuan finished speaking, she was interrupted angrily by the Queen Mother Lou.

In the quiet main hall, the Empress Dowager Lou's roar became more and more fierce, and the next moment, in the Nuan Pavilion, Brother Ming burst into tears.

The Empress Dowager Lou's smile suddenly warmed up, "Since the child is awake, let's take it to the Ai family's great-grandmother."

Fang Ruxuan hesitated, but finally looked back at Ding Xiang.

Ding Xiang went to the Nuan Pavilion with lowered eyebrows. In a flash, Nurse Chen entered the main hall holding Brother Ming, who was crying endlessly. Stepped in hastily.

Fang Ruxuan's heart dropped instantly.

Taking the crying brother Ming from the nurse's arms, Chu Yuan stepped forward and handed it to Fang Ruxuan, while glaring at Lin Ke'er who was kneeling on the ground with disgust, he rushed to the empress dowager with a face full of impatience: "King Rui Starting with the Marquis of Lin'an, Mrs. Lin and several other officials seconded the proposal. Now, the court is arguing about the feudal affairs. If the queen mother knows about this move, what will the father think? I hope the queen mother thinks twice."

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. This has been a rule since ancient times. The Empress Dowager Lou originally thought that Fang Ruxuan would not dare to disobey her wishes, so she would relieve Lin Keer's restraint order and sell a good one in the Lin clan. Unexpected, this husband and wife The attitude is soft and hard, but the meaning inside and outside the words is disagreement. She, the queen mother, is just so despised.

And Chu Yuan misinterpreted her original intention even more, implicating her actions with the events of the previous dynasty.

"Is that what Aijia means? The prince is cautious..."

In terms of momentum, the Empress Dowager Lou glanced at Lin Ke'er regretfully, and said softly, "Mrs. Lin is very cute and lovely. She often comes to Shouchang Palace to accompany Ai's family, and to be filial for the prince and concubine. Ai's family I just like her, so I begged her for mercy."

After finishing speaking, the Empress Dowager Lou looked at Chu Yuan, "According to the Ai family's knowledge, the fault is all in Luwu, what is Lin's fault? The crown prince's punishment is too heavy, and it is not convincing."

"Gu forgot, that box of Magpie Bridge Immortals was given to Mrs. Lin by the Queen Mother. Since that's the case, Mrs. Lin was really wronged."

Chu Yuan's words made the Empress Dowager Lou's heart stagnate, and then looking at Chu Yuan, she couldn't help but feel a little old-fashioned and angry, but Chu Yuan said calmly: "Since the Queen Mother said that Mrs. Lin is not wrong, then Even if she is right, and the Queen Mother likes it, then Mrs. Lin will go to Shouchang Palace to serve the Queen Mother, and it will be considered the Queen Mother's wishes. Lin, you can go back and pack your things."

With the final word, Chu Yuan's words made Lin Ke'er paralyzed with ashen ashes.
