Bestow glory to the king

Chapter 421 Entering the Palace for an Audience (6)
Holding the hem of her skirt, Xie Meng stood up dignifiedly and gracefully. After thanking the queen, two maidservants carried a grand master's chair and put it behind her. Xie Meng thanked again before she dared to bend her knees Sit down, but don't dare to sit more, keep your back straight.

"Are you the eldest daughter-in-law of Duke Dingguo's mansion?" The queen seemed to have decided to chat with her about family affairs, and asked about Xie Yu's background.

Xie Yu remained calm, and replied respectfully: "If you go back to the empress, the servant is the eldest daughter-in-law of Dingguo's mansion."

"En." There was such a voice from inside, and then there was a pause. Xie Yu was not in a hurry, and sat quietly waiting for the next sentence. Sure enough, after a while, the queen asked again: "Your husband is the one who won the first prize last year." ?What is your name?"

"Returning to the empress, the servant's husband is named Shen Xi, and he was the number one scholar in the top three in the year of Xinyou."

Xie Yu knows the trick of answering in the deep palace, unless the master has something special to know, and the question is urgent, usually like this kind of noble master who chats with you, the most important thing for you is to judge the situation and determine how enthusiastic she is about you , if you are not keen, then you don't need to say too much when answering the question, as long as you follow her words and answer sentence by sentence, you will always be right.

"Sure enough, he is such a great talent. The Duke of Dingguo's mansion has only produced such a talented person, three yuan and the first. Looking at the ancient and modern world, there are not many people who can do it. You are very lucky. You have been chosen as a husband."

The queen's voice echoed in the hall, maybe it was too quiet, but there seemed to be some faint echoes, Xie Mo narrowed her eyes to figure out what the queen was thinking, not sure if she said that in a positive or negative sense.

"It made the Empress laugh."

There were a few short coughs from behind the screen, and Xie Meng didn't look up. It is well known that the empress is in poor health, so she hasn't given birth to a prince or daughter for so many years, so the position of prince has always been vacant. Today's eldest prince is named King Su, the second prince is named King Fu, and the third prince is named King Liao. Emperor Tianhe has only three sons in total, but none of them came from the queen's womb.

Because the empress coughed, the Yuqing hall came alive. The maids who brought tea, incense, and medicine came in and out. After a while, they heard the sound of the empress rinsing their mouths, presumably they had taken medicine.

Xie Meng sat still and didn't react too much. He looked at his heart with his nose and eyes, and his posture was straight.

After the queen calmed down, she waited for her voice to calm down before she spoke to Xie Meng again:
"You are very good. You are not surprised, and you know the etiquette. You are so calm." The queen spoke again, and it was this beautiful word. Xie Meng couldn't help being a little confused, only to hear the queen say again: "Come on, remove the screen Already, I want to have a good chat with Mrs. Xinke No. [-] Scholar."

"..."

The queen's sudden change of attitude made Xie Meng really confused. How dare she not talk to him just now?Just to see her on-the-spot reaction ability?See if she panics or not, whether she is polite or not.

After the screen was removed, Xie Meng saw a woman lying on a huge yellow rosewood soft couch, as thin as paper, with a bright yellow phoenix quilt covering her body, there was hardly any ups and downs, her face was very pale. Pale, but extremely intelligent and shrewd, his eyes seem to be able to see through people's hearts, so sharp that you just want to avoid them.

Xie Meng stood up from the grand teacher's chair, then kowtowed three times to the queen, and saluted again in a proper manner, before being helped up by a nun standing beside the queen.
