Empress Dowager: Husband, please lie down

Chapter 53 The Empress Invites, She Was Scolded at the Palace Gate
The next morning, the sky was just getting brighter.

The crowing of cocks from Zhuangzi not far away rose and fell, and a layer of mist shrouded the air.A thin crescent moon is still there, but the sky has already begun to turn golden yellow.

Que'er swiftly opened the door and walked in, dragged Ruan Eryue who was still asleep, and said angrily, "Miss, what time is it, you are still sleeping. The servant has just woken up Why are you sleeping so deeply now?"

Ruan Eryue opened her eyes slightly, shook her drowsy head, and muttered indistinctly, "It's not even dawn yet! My mother's head is so dizzy, is someone cursing me early in the morning?"

"Who has the leisure to curse you today? I don't even look at what day it is. Today is a good day for the empress to invite ladies from big families in the capital to enjoy the flowers in the palace. Everyone is ready to go in now." The palace is over, and you are the only one who stays on the bed."

Que'er rolled her eyes, hurriedly took the new clothes that Uncle Zhou personally brought yesterday, and changed into Ruan Eryue, talking nonsense.

Ruan Eryue raised her eyebrows. After all, she got up and dressed properly, but she still couldn't stop talking, "Who said that no one has the leisure to curse me? Look, isn't there a big Buddha in our house?" Can't you go out and enter the palace today? Maybe you can scold me."

Que'er looked a little puzzled, but she understood in an instant, so she shook her head and continued to clean up for Ruan Eryue.

A few minutes later, the sky was bright.Ruan Eryue trotted to the door with her skirt in hand, and frowned slightly when she saw Uncle Zhou and Ruan Hongwei standing at the door smiling.

Seeing Ruan Eryue arrived, Ruan Hongwei embarrassingly expressed his fatherly love, and greeted him with concern, watching Ruan Eryue get into the carriage and slowly drive towards the palace.

Two teams of guards with solemn faces followed immediately on both sides of the carriage and followed them all the way.

"Que'er, do you know all the ladies in the capital?"

This is the first time for her to go out of the mansion and enter the palace, and meet the noble ladies in the entire capital.Naturally, I want to get to know the details of these people a little bit, otherwise I will be considered alone and helpless today.

Because she knew that Empress Shang would definitely not invite them into the palace to enjoy the flowers for no reason.Even though she is Xiahou Yin's concubine who has never been married, she has never been in the palace. Empress Shang invited her so rashly...

The reason is definitely not too simple.

Que'er nodded uncertainly, "Miss, I only know a few people, but it shouldn't be a big problem."

Ruan Eryue reached out to lift the curtain of the carriage, and then smiled lightly, "It's hard to say... Today's flower viewing feast, I believe, will not be too peaceful."

Because the carriage was traveling extremely slowly, Ruan Eryue's carriage arrived at the gate of the palace as the sun was gradually rising.

Being blocked at the gate of the palace for a long time, Ruan Eryue stuck her head out of the carriage window to look boredly.I saw a long line of carriages lined up ahead, all waiting for routine inspection at the door.

There is a long line of imperial guards standing at the gate of the palace. Looking through the gate, the palaces and palaces of the palace are all magnificent, revealing the noble and awe-inspiring aura of the royal family everywhere.

"I don't know how long it will take."

Ruan Eryue just felt suffocated in the carriage, sighed and said unhappy, "Look, you woke me up early. No, you're still stuck here, getting up so early What is the use!"

With that said, Ruan Eryue was ready to lean on the cushion and catch up on sleep.

At this moment, a woman's respectful voice came from outside the carriage, "Excuse me, is Miss Ruan Fourth in the carriage?"

I remembered that there was a sign of the General's Mansion outside the carriage, and the mother-in-law asked this question.Come to think of it, there must be something.

Ruan Eryue cleared her throat, and looked along the curtain that Que'er raised.It was a very solemn nanny dressed up, her hair was pulled up high and combed meticulously, so she cheered up and smiled and replied, "Exactly, dare to ask nanny..."

Mammy bowed her head respectfully, and replied, "This old slave is by the empress's side, Miss Ruan Si calls me Nanny Ma."

After finishing speaking, she raised her head and smiled again, "Miss Ruan Si, the empress has heard about Miss Ruan Si's deeds for a long time and wanted to meet you very much, so she sent an old slave to pick up Miss Ruan Si to go to Kunning Palace."

The queen invited her to Kunning Palace?

Ruan Eryue's heart trembled, but there was still a soft smile on her face, "In that case, Madam Laoma will lead the way."

With Mama Mama in front, Ruan Eryue's carriage smoothly entered the palace at the end of the line.

She listened carefully, and there were aggrieved voices from many carriages behind, "Whose carriage is that? How can we jump in line? We waited so hard all morning, it's too much."

"..."

The voices of complaints kept coming and going, and it was only at this time that Mama Mama turned cold and said in a deep voice, "The Empress sent an old slave to pick up Miss Ruan Si to go to Kunning Palace. The flower viewing banquet will take another hour. Ladies and gentlemen, it's better to go to Kunning Palace." Be patient!"

As soon as Ma Momo opened her mouth, her complaining voice slowly dropped.

This Nanny Ma is an old man next to the empress, and she has always been deeply trusted by Empress Shang.Now that Nanny Ma has spoken, who dares to take advantage of her noble status to feel sorry for the Queen?

Therefore, Ruan Eryue's ears became a little quieter.

However, when passing by the front carriage, a disdainful sneer was clearly heard from a woman in the carriage, "It turned out to be Miss Ruan Si, but now she really is different from the past because of her status. It has won the favor of the empress."

"However, so what if it is favored by the empress. She is not the concubine of Prince Jing now, but relying on Prince Jing's mansion, she is so arrogant, it really is not on the stage!"

"There have always been pheasants flying on branches and turning into phoenixes. Even if they fly on branches, pheasants are still pheasants, and they will never become phoenixes in their lifetime!"

As soon as several hateful words were uttered, many voices echoed, and low-pitched laughter was endless.

Ruan Eryue frowned, the woman's voice was hard to hear, she was sure she didn't recognize her.

However, Ruan Eryue could still hear the undisguised sarcasm in her words, as well as the unconcealed hatred for her.

After thinking about it, she was still going to reach out and lift the curtain, wanting to see who it was, and she was so tit-for-tat to her when they first met.

Que'er reached out to stop her, and shook her head with a serious face.He signaled her that this is the imperial palace, not the general's mansion, so it's better not to cause trouble.

But, is she, Ruan Eryue, that kind of cowardly lady who is bullied at will but dare not return it?
