Chapter 375: enter the palace
Chapter 375 Entering the Palace
With the sound of firecrackers, one year old is removed, and the spring breeze brings warmth into Tusu.
It's a pity that this New Year's Eve is still bitterly cold.
Early this morning, Ruan Youqing was yelled out of bed by the fan. Fan'er combed her hair more and more exquisitely, Ruan Youqing looked at herself in the mirror, her thoughts drifted a little far away.
It wasn't until Mu Fei came that she finally recovered.
"You Qing can pack it up? If it's packed up, we'll be ready to enter the palace."
On the morning of New Year's Eve, first-rank officials will bring their families into the palace to celebrate the new year.
The Ruan family, who had made great military achievements, naturally wanted to enter the palace.
Walking his mother's arm and walking to the door, Ruan Youqing saw Ruan Chong, his ancestor and grandson standing there waiting for them.
Ruan Youqing quickly let go of Mu Fei's hand, ran over and saluted one by one.
After Ruan Chong and the others each said a few words with a smile, the group of people prepared to leave for the palace.
However, when Ruan Youqing was about to get on the carriage, she felt a sudden thump in her heart.
Auntie...why aren't you here...
Thinking of this, Ruan Youqing immediately ran to Ruan Ye Mu Fei's carriage and asked, "Father, mother, why don't you see sister?"
Mu Fei sighed softly and said slowly: "You Ning left a letter a few days ago, saying that she was going to do something. I thought she would come back today, but...he hasn't come back yet. I sent someone to look for her just now."
Ruan Ye also frowned slightly and said: "Now we need to enter the palace, after we come out of the palace, let's go find her in person."
Ruan Youqing could only nod his head, and returned to his carriage.
When she arrived in the palace, she was taken directly to the Queen Mother's Longevity Palace as the princess.
At this time, the Longevity Palace is very lively.
Not only Li Ange is here, but almost all the concubines from the palaces have also arrived.
Headed by the imperial concubine Su Yuan.
When Ruan Youqing walked in, all kinds of scrutinizing eyes turned to her. Fortunately, Ruan Youqing was never afraid of this kind of scene, with a decent smile on his face, he walked in slowly and saluted gracefully and generously.
The Empress Dowager was very close to Ruan Youqing. She had just finished the salute when Li Ange, who was ordered by the Empress Dowager, pulled her to the Empress Dowager's side.
The grandparents and grandchildren looked happy and harmonious, but they envied the concubines next to them.
Someone couldn't hold back the temptation to speak: "Our Princess Changning and our Princess Puyang are really similar. I don't know, I thought they were sisters."
"Yes, although Princess Changning was born as a general, but... she is more virtuous and courteous than we imagined." Someone started the conversation, and naturally someone took over the conversation and continued.
The smile on Ruan Youqing's face gradually lost its warmth. When she was about to speak, Li Ange spoke before her lukewarmly: "What Concubine Zhuang said is not quite right. What is...similarity? My princess It’s my princess, and Princess Changning is the princess of Changning.”
This concubine Zhuang was naturally the one who spoke first.
Although this man's facial features are good-looking, but when he is not smiling, he is extremely sharp.
After hearing Li Ange's words, Concubine Zhuang's eyes brightened, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly: "Yes, yes, yes, the princess is right, the princess is the princess. The princess...is the princess." That's all...
It's just that Concubine Zhuang is not a fool. She knows what to say and what not to say.
Li Ange then smiled and continued: "Yes, don't compare the two of us. Otherwise, we will hurt our sisterhood, and I will tell Father."
The meaningful words made Concubine Zhuang's smile split instantly.
She originally thought that Li Ange would look down on Ruan Youqing, who had just been made princess. As a result, the meaning of the words just now... is to let them dispel the idea of alienating them, otherwise... she will tell the emperor?
At this juncture, how could she make a mistake in front of the emperor!
After the darkness flashed across her eyes, Concubine Zhuang smiled like a flower and said to Ruan Youqing: "What the princess said is that the princess and the princess are as strong as gold. All the sisters in the harem should do the same!"
Finally, Su Yuan couldn't help but said slowly: "Okay, Concubine Zhuang, we finally gathered here with the Queen Mother, let's have a happy chat."
When Ruan Youqing raised his eyes to look at the past, although the current Su Yuan was still gentle and gentle, the aura on his body began to become fierce.
After all, in her impression, Su Yuan has always been gentle, gentle and indifferent to the world. But now... it has an aura of calmness and prestige.
Is it possible...
Recalling the busy Li Qian that she learned about from Gu Changan, she gradually understood Su Yuan's changes in her heart.
Their mother and son... will eventually change.
Concubine Zhuang, who was choked by Su Yuan, could only close her mouth with a blushing face. She knew that Su Yuan was not as harmless as her appearance!
The Queen Mother sat smiling all the time, never interrupting anyone. After Su Yuan finished speaking, she took over the words.
Ruan Youqing sat obediently at the side the whole time, and when someone talked to her, she replied in a polite and polite manner. The rest of the time, they just smiled and listened to others.
After chatting for a while in a decent atmosphere, the concubines dispersed. But Ruan Youqing and Li Ange were preparing to leave to accompany the Queen Mother to Changcui Palace one by one.
Changcui Palace was singing and dancing at this time, and the emperor was with those high-ranking officials. Just wait for the Queen Mother to pass before the banquet can begin.
However, just as Ruan Youqing and the others left the Longevity Palace, the Empress Dowager frowned slightly and said, "An Ge, you go back and get something for Ai's family. Those girls are worried about Ai's family."
"Emperor Grandmother, what do you want An Ge to take?"
"The emerald bead I prepared early this morning."
Having got the exact answer, Li Ange immediately trotted back to look for it.
Ruan Youqing raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said softly: "Queen Mother, do you... have something to say to Youqing?"
The Empress Dowager smiled and replied, "You girl is really clever."
"It's not that you are clever, it's that you think that the people around you, Queen Mother, can be clumsy."
"It's natural, that is, that girl An Ge is simple-minded. Well, Aijia avoided that girl, and wanted to ask you, those concubines just now, who do you think... is suitable for the position of queen?"
After finishing speaking, the Empress Dowager looked at Ruan Youqing with burning eyes and waited for her answer.
But Ruan Youqing was shocked, a little surprised that the Queen Mother would ask her this question.
Although she knew that the Empress Dowager really loved her, but it was about the sensitive queen...Ruan Youqing didn't know whether to tell the truth or what to do.
Actually, if she has nothing to do with any of them, she can speak her mind directly.
For example, Su Yuan is her ideal candidate for the next position.
But the reality is that Su Xian is the biological mother of the second prince Li Qian. And the relationship between Li Qian and Gu Changan is extraordinary... Nowadays, the two of them have never avoided anyone in their communication. If they are not stupid, they can definitely guess that they have a deep friendship.
She can't be as unscrupulous as Gu Changan...
Just when Ruan Youqing was thinking about the correct answer, the queen mother smiled and patted her on the shoulder:
"Okay, I already know what you think in my heart. But... what happens in the future depends on their respective fortunes."
