Rebirth of Concubine The World

Chapter 167
The queen mother glanced at the girls and saw that He Lan's fire hadn't arrived yet, a trace of complacency flashed in her eyes, a little bit of light.

"Why hasn't Princess Jinyuan arrived yet?"

No one answered, but all the girls slandered He Lanhuo in their hearts. Even the queen mother invited her to have breakfast, and she dared to be late.As for Rong Siqing's late arrival, everyone thought it was logical.After all, Rong Siqing went through that incident yesterday, so of course she was afraid to go out to meet people.Although the Empress Dowager has helped to clarify that Rong Siqing is an innocent person, there is absolutely no way of having an affair with anyone, and Gao Yuan's words are even nonsense, but all the women can't help talking and muttering in secret.

Lan Ying said eagerly, "Reporting to the Queen Mother, yesterday Huo'er said that she was feeling unwell, maybe she was in poor health, so she came late."

The queen mother's attitude towards He Lanhuo has changed a lot recently, but she is not as easy to talk to as before.

Unexpectedly, this time the Queen Mother did not blame her in particular, but said with a smile: "It's nothing, you will also go to see Princess Jinyuan on behalf of Ai's family later, the mountain is cold, don't catch a cold."

Doubts arose in everyone's hearts, didn't it mean that He Lanhuo fell out of favor in front of the Queen Mother?But it doesn't look like it?

Lan Ying felt relieved, after the breakfast was set, everyone began to eat with their chopsticks.Lan Yingxin has never eaten such an exquisite vegetarian dish. For example, this vegetarian shrimp, although it is vegetarian, is made of bean skin, and then stuffed with mashed potatoes fried with diced green beans and shiitake mushrooms. It looks lifelike and tastes Also very tasty.Another example is the crispy bean sprouts, which are hollowed out in the middle of the bean sprouts and stuffed with fried bamboo shoots and gluten. This plate alone is enough for a busy day.

People say that the Empress Dowager is frugal by nature, and she only eats vegetarian food in the palace, not even a little bit of meat.But being a vegetarian also depends on what kind of vegetarian dishes you eat.In the past, Lan Yingxin only thought that the queen mother was a kind and amiable elder, but now Lan Yingxin didn't think so. She felt that the changes of the queen mother were shocking and unpredictable.

After breakfast, everyone went to the main hall to recite the morning scriptures together with the Queen Mother.

Everyone in the palace does not know that the Empress Dowager is the most pious, and she often comes to the temple to pray for everyone in the palace.No one can find any fault in the Queen Mother's move.

But seeing the Queen Mother leading the crowd all the way forward, at this moment, a figure rushed over recklessly.Before he got close to the team, he was scolded by a eunuch: "Presumptuous, where did you beat the servant, so blind?"

I saw the man lying on the ground trembling, with a graceful body, looking at the clothes and hair bun, he should be a little maid, with blossoming apricot flowers embroidered on the snow-white clothes.

"Forgive me, Queen Mother, I, I didn't see anything."

I saw the servant girl trembled and said, as if she was frightened.The Empress Dowager's face darkened slightly, and she scolded: "Such a reckless offense, I don't understand etiquette, but what kind of shady things are you doing in this temple?"

Lan Yingxin only felt that the voice of this maid was somewhat familiar, and if she took a closer look, it was Rong Sixiu's maid Xing'er?
Yesterday was this Xing'er who hurriedly called He Lanhuo out. At that time, Lan Yingxin still felt that something was wrong, so Lan Yingxin stubbornly waited for He Lanhuo to come back.Why is this maid again today?

"Servant, servant doesn't know anything." Seeing Xing'er raised her head, her face was full of fear, anyone who saw it would feel that this maid must know something she shouldn't know.

"It seems that the Ai family is too kind, and let people make these demon moths come in front of me." There was a deep chill in the empress dowager's phoenix eyes: "Come on, don't drag this maid out, beat her!" Until she says it."

When the play came to this point, Xing'er just revealed the truth out of fear, "Forgive me, the Queen Mother, but this servant did not do anything ambiguous. Yes, it was the servant who accidentally bumped into the Seventh Prince and Princess Jinyuan together. There……"

Seemingly unable to speak out because of fear, Xing'er tremblingly said: "It was the Seventh Prince's guards who chased the servant, and just now let the servant accidentally bump into the Queen Mother, the servant definitely did not do it on purpose."

Having said this, Myolie suddenly burst into tears.

Those words immediately aroused everyone's astonishment, and made the noble ladies present couldn't help talking about it.

"Why did He Lanhuo do such a shameless thing?"

"Who knows if this little maid is telling the truth."

"Didn't it mean that the Seventh Prince and Princess Jinyuan are incompatible?"

"Perhaps the two of them were hiding in the dark, and they hooked up a long time ago."

"As far as a slave is concerned, who knows if it's true or not?"

"That's not necessarily the case. I'm just surprised. Why is it so good? The Helan family refused to come to eat the queen mother's breakfast. Maybe they went away with the seventh prince yesterday, but now they can't get up."

Lan Yingxin was so angry that her small face turned pale slightly, and her voice raised slightly: "Queen Mother, Huo'er is definitely not this kind of person, and I don't know why this slave turned black and white and testified like this!"

Although Lan Yingxin is not very smart, she also sensed that Xing'er invited He Lanhuo out yesterday, she must have malicious intentions and took the opportunity to plot against Huo'er.

"You maid, who sent you here to talk nonsense here?"

Xing'er seemed to be terrified, her body trembled slightly, as if Lan Yingxin was threatening and humiliating her.

"Miss Lan, how dare the servants slander the princess? The servants are just begging for your life!"

The Empress Dowager sneered in her heart, but she said angrily: "Don't make a noise, come and bring me the sneaky people over there!"

A few guards around the queen mother rushed out and escorted a guard who was hiding on the side.

Looking at the guards who came up, the queen mother asked knowingly, and said sharply: "I seem to remember that you are the guards next to Lao Qi, why are you so sneaky and follow this maid?"

Lan Yingxin saw that the guards around the seventh prince, Tan Fengning, had already appeared, and she vaguely felt that a huge conspiracy about Huo'er had started. She wanted to help Huo'er, but she was helpless.

The guard seemed unwilling to confess anything at first, but under the empress dowager's questioning, he also seemed reluctant to confess: "Yesterday, the seventh prince was drunk, and his subordinates helped him back to the room. Damn this subordinate, he didn't know how to dissuade him. This servant girl came to pick flowers in the yard early this morning, and she seemed to have seen something. This subordinate also came to chase this girl for the reputation of the Seventh Prince."
