Chapter 194 A Business
In ancient times, when younger people paid their respects to their elders, they usually went to the side room before dawn. Although Xu Ruqing didn't understand the purpose of this rule, she understood one thing, that is, the Queen Mother was deliberately picking on her over this matter.
Xu Ruqing was not in a hurry, and said in a calm tone: "I don't want to disturb the Queen Mother at this hour. I came to the side hall early today to wait for the announcement, but Aunt Yun said that the Queen Mother is chanting sutras and praying in the ancestral hall and cannot tolerate others.
Excuse me, I waited patiently for a long time, and it was noon before I saw the Queen Mother."
She bet one hundred and twenty dollars. The old bitch, the Queen Mother, definitely knew about this. Maybe she had arranged it this way deliberately. Otherwise, which slave in the palace would have the courage to waste his master waiting in the side room?
.
"Just now I saw that the Queen Mother looked worried and tired. Perhaps she was working day and night for the country and the country. I felt that I was unable to share the burden for the Queen Mother, so I had to retreat and do the next best thing and chose not to disturb your rest. The Queen Mother mistakenly thought that I was not sincere."
"Haha, the reason for excusing myself is really reasonable. According to what you said, it seems that the Ai family does not distinguish between right and wrong, so they wrongly blame you?"
Xu Ruqing's breath was sharp: "What are you saying, Queen Mother? As the most senior member of the Long family, your merits and deeds are beyond the reach of our descendants. How dare I offend you?"
"Don't you dare? The Ai family sees how brave you are! You don't admit or say anything when you do something wrong, and you learn to shirk responsibility. The Su family is really proud of its ancestors for having such a eloquent person like you!"
The Queen Mother's purpose was very simple. She just wanted to see how capable Xu Ruqing was. Even though Xu Ruqing had no fault today, the little girl's arrogant attitude really made her feel uncomfortable. She had to sharpen her spirit.
!
"Come here, Princess Wei and below have committed the same crime. They have overstepped the bounds of their elders and refused to correct their crimes. They also tried to shirk responsibility and framed innocent people. They have been dragged down by the Ai family and served by palace regulations!"
Being accused of so many disrespectful crimes in just a few words, Xu Ruqing really saw the Queen Mother's ability to stir up trouble.
The punishments for using palace rules and family laws are not the same. According to the memory of the original person, the lightest person in the palace will have to suffer the pain of ten lashes. Although Xu Ruqing doesn't know where the Queen Mother's malice towards her comes from, but in the past
Judging from the current situation, the Queen Mother will not give her only ten lashes.
Xu Ruqing stood up and looked serious: "The Queen Mother is determined to believe that I delayed my visit until noon on purpose to punish my concubine for being disrespectful?"
The Queen Mother's face was full of disdain: "It's true, the facts are right in front of you. How dare you refuse to accept my disrespect?"
This statement was caught by Xu Anan: "Is it true? Since the Queen Mother said that my concubine's crime is corroborated by evidence, why not ask the Queen Mother to present all the evidence so that I can be convinced by the punishment."
Sure enough, the Queen Mother's face changed, and her eyes looking at Xu Ruqing became even more angry and cold.
She suddenly remembered that at the birthday banquet that day, Xu Ruqing used the same routine to embarrass herself in front of envoys from various countries.
"Xu Ruqing, you have to know that this is the Qiankun Palace of the Ai family, not your Prince Wei's palace. Even if you have wings, you can't fly out. Isn't it easy for the Ai family to treat you?" After saying that, the imperial guards beside the Queen Mother
Jun winked, and soon two strong men stepped forward and held Xu Ruqing on his left and right.
"What are you going to do?!"
"The Ai family didn't come to you just to cure you. You are so smart, why don't you guess what it is for?"
"Is it because of Yan Ji?"
The Queen Mother's wrinkled old face showed a smile that did not reach her eyes: "Not bad, she still has some brains."
The Queen Mother treated Xu Yan very well, even better than her own daughter. You could guess with your toes that she came to Xu Ruqing either because of Su Yichen or because of Xu Yan.
The Queen Mother clapped her hands, and then a gorgeous figure walked out of another room.
Xu Ruqing then raised her eyes and looked at the figure. Yanji was wearing a fiery red dress today. A pair of lifelike mandarin ducks playing in the water were embroidered with gold thread on the skirt directly below. She was wearing this dress.
It also fully brings out Yanji's hot figure, her delicate collarbones, slender waist, and endless cleavage... along with her indulgent and hot personality, she looks like a burning flaming bear from a distance.
Fire, flamboyant and dazzling.
"The Queen Mother."
"Yes." The Queen Mother nodded, then pointed to Xu Ruqing who was standing next to her and said, "Don't you have something to say to Princess Wei? Now that the Renai family has invited you, go ahead and say it."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
Yanji came to Xu Ruqing, her eyes full of mockery: "I won't say any nonsense. I invite you here this time because I want to do a business with you."
"Business?"
"I have an antidote to the prince's cold poison. As long as you promise His Highness King Wei to accept me as his concubine, I can hand over the antidote. You love him so much, you won't refuse to agree, right?"
Xu Ruqing chuckled lightly: "You have to ask Su Yichen about this. It's his business whether to marry or not. There's no need to ask me, right?"
"Oh, you are a thousand-year-old fox. Why are you pretending to me? I know that the reason why the prince is unwilling to accept me is because you are obstructing me. If you don't let go, he will definitely not agree."
Xu Ruqing found it even more funny: "You think too highly of me. I can't be his master."
A hint of anger flashed in Yanji's beautiful eyes: "Stop talking nonsense, just tell me whether you agree or not?"
"What if you agree? What if you don't agree?"
"Since you didn't eat the toast and drank the fine wine, don't blame me for being rude. I haven't forgotten that you made me embarrassed that day. It's time for you to return it." As she said this, Yanji's eyes showed a fierce look.
He raised his hand and was about to hit Xu Ruqing in the face.
"I want to see who has the guts to touch my woman!"
Suddenly, a low shout came from a distance, interrupting the quarrel. When Yanji and the Queen Mother heard the sound, their bodies trembled subconsciously.
Xu Ruqing was very familiar with this voice, and for a moment she seemed to see the backer.
Yanji saw that Su Yichen was nervous and quickly retracted her hand: "Su...King Wei, why are you here?"
Su Yichen was pushed forward in a black robe, and his eagle-like eyes briefly scanned the environment in the hall. His lazy and domineering temperament made him look like an awakened lion.
He didn't look at Yanji, and seemed to answer, but he said it to the Queen Mother: "I just came down from the morning court and heard from the maid in Concubine Guo Shu's palace that the Queen Mother invited my concubine to talk about daily life. I am curious, what kind of daily life from Concubine Guo
Chenshi hasn't finished yet, so he came over to take a look."
