Chapter 17: Empress Dowager Rong
Chapter 17 Empress Dowager Rong
I saw a crimson purple figure walking in surrounded by people. Although the person was old, he walked steadily, and even brought a gust of wind.
This person is the most admirable Empress Dowager Rong in Ningguo.
Ruan Youqing suppressed the excitement in his heart, and looked at the other person walking towards him pitifully.
The Queen saw the Empress Dowager coming suddenly, held back her unhappiness, and greeted her with a smile: "Why did the Empress suddenly remember the dinner at Huachaohui?"
The queen mother also raised a smile, and said slowly: "Aijia heard that today's Huachao will be very lively. When people are old, they like to join in the fun. So, I asked a few girls to bring Aijia over. No, Before I came in, I heard you say that you want to keep the little girl from the Ruan family in the palace, this is very much in line with the wishes of the Ai family!"
After saying that, the Empress Dowager turned her head to look at Ruan Youqing, with a smile in her eyes: "Old Ruan is willing to let you out! No, Ai's family heard the news and came over non-stop, finally caught you little girl, You have to stay in the palace for a few days to spend time with Aijia."
"For you to think about it, Queen Mother, it must be the blessing of Youqing's past life of eating fast and reciting Buddhism!" Ruan Youqing smiled sweetly, but just as she said the words, her heart suddenly froze.
In the previous life...
Where is the blessing...
Even, the empress dowager...
Never die well.
Seeing the happy appearance of the old and the young, the queen couldn't help feeling jealous. After coughing a few times, she said slowly, "Mother, I'm afraid this concubine will not be able to do what you want. Miss Ruan... has nothing to do with what happened just now. One thing is about...Chenqie is thinking...keep her with Chenqie first, and after proving Miss Ruan's innocence, Chenqie will send her over to you?"
After listening to the queen mother, the smile on her face stopped instantly, a pair of very clear eyes squinted at the queen, and then said quietly: "Something happened? Tell me what happened."
Hearing the empress dowager's muffled voice, the queen was about to speak when Li Ange frowned suddenly and came over: "Grandmother! You want to make the decision for Youqing..." So Li Ange beat the queen and told the whole story from beginning to end. I gave it to the Queen Mother.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the queen mother looked at the queen with a gloomy expression: "What do you mean... the little girl of the Ruan family drugged your niece?"
The queen gave her daughter a hard look, then smiled and explained: "I can't say that. It's just that the child has something to do with this matter. After all, she poured out the wine, didn't she?"
The queen mother sneered: "Why is it that she poured the wine or the medicine? Why didn't you say that the wine was put on the table by your niece? Besides, An Ge and the little girl from the Ruan family also drank it. This wine...Why did they have no accident, but your niece? Why don't you reflect on whether there is something wrong with your well-behaved and kind niece?"
The queen's face turned red when she was choked by the queen mother, and she wanted to say something more, but saw the queen mother waved her hand, and continued: "Okay, the Ai family will not talk to you so much. As a queen, you should be fair Some, don't favor Rong Yan just because she is your niece. Moreover, this is the first time that the girl from the Ruan family has entered the palace today, and it can even be regarded as the first time she has been out of the palace. I blame you for not worrying about the past few days. You didn't even look at this matter for no reason. You scared this little girl into a fright. Besides, how could such a weak girl like her do such a dirty trick? The Ai family took her away today, not out of the palace. If there is anything wrong, you can go to the Ai family to look for her later."
When the queen opened her mouth and tried to say something, Li Ange cautiously poked her head out from behind the queen mother: "Mother queen...this matter has nothing to do with Youqing! Because the wine...is Erchen...well...drinking...Sister Yan'er drank it What's going on... can't be... it's my minister who wants to kill her..." At the end, Li Ange's voice became smaller and smaller when he saw the empress mother's face was extremely pale.
Seeing this, the queen mother pulled Li Ange to her side without any trace, then turned around and held the hands of the two girls, and said as she walked:
"You should investigate this matter carefully. If... the result of the investigation is unfair, the Ai family will send someone to help you in person."
After the words fell, Ruan Youqing and Li Ange were taken away without waiting for the queen to respond.
The queen saw a few people walking out, and she almost had blood marks on her palms.
…
Being held by the queen mother all the way, Ruan Youqing felt sore and astringent in her heart, and her eyes were red and red.
Li Ange was chattering along the way, begging the Queen Mother to take her in these days.
"An Ge, are you so afraid of your queen mother?" The queen mother couldn't stand it any longer, and interrupted Li Ange's words with helpless support on her forehead.
"Grandmother! An Ge just offended her biological mother because of your precious girl Ruan! I don't know why, but my mother insists on thinking that it has something to do with Youqing for such a simple and easy-to-understand matter." Li Ange had a sad face. Because she really couldn't figure it out.
Ruan Youqing subconsciously glanced at the Queen Mother, who happened to also look at her. There is a clear dark color in the eyes of both of them. It's just that no one with a tacit understanding said anything to Li Ange.
After arriving at the Queen Mother's Longevity Palace, Ruan Youqing whispered to Li Ange: "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess, for proving Youqing's innocence."
Li Ange immediately looked away with a blushing face, still a little stubborn: "You... don't thank the princess! This princess just saw the injustice... um... for the people... um... Anyway, you don't need to thank me! This princess is just doing her own thing !"
Seeing Li Ange's awkward look, the Queen Mother couldn't help but chuckled, and then reached out and gently pinched Li Ange's cheek: "You girl, your duplicity looks exactly like your father!"
Li Ange pouted, and whispered, "No way!"
Seeing the grandparent and grandson like this, Ruan Youqing showed a hint of envy in his eyes.
Although she and her grandfather are also very close, after all, they cannot be too unscrupulous regardless of gender. It's a pity that her own grandmother passed away early, otherwise, she would have acted indulgently like Li Ange.
「Youqing」
Seeing that Ruan Youqing was a little absent-minded, the queen mother called her softly. After she answered in a daze, the queen mother continued to smile and said: "In the past few days, you can stay with Ai's family in the palace. You will not be too lonely if you have An Ge as your company. After staying in the mansion for so long, you have to gradually get used to life outside. After all, Lao Ruan is a rough man, no matter how much he loves you, he will never be able to take care of you. You, just treat Aijia as your own grandmother"
The queen mother looked serious, and Ruan Youqing naturally understood her sincerity.
Li Ange curled his lips: "Grandmother! Don't you love An Ge?"
The Queen Mother stretched out her hand and tapped her on the head: "Did you become jealous when she came here?"
「Hmph! I don’t care! I am the emperor’s grandmother who loves me the most!」
「Okay! Aijia will always love you the most!」
Ruan Youqing also laughed helplessly in a low voice, while Li Ange was as charming and simple as ever.
While the three were chatting and laughing, a person suddenly walked outside the door, and said as he walked, "Is the empress dowager found a treasure?"
The Empress Dowager responded with a smile that was not at all unexpected: "I am sorry for this treasure, thanks to you."
Ruan Youqing on the side was shocked.
Just because...the person who came was actually the chief assistant Gu Changan!
He... can enter and leave the harem at will?
Seeing Ruan Youqing's surprised face, the queen mother smiled and explained: "The Ai family was able to go to Changcui Palace to find you, thanks to our Master Gu."
