Chapter 258 Imperial Court, Hidden Uneasy

As soon as Leng Xuanrong heard the word "Emperor", there was a "buzz" in his mind.

An Pingzhi next to

seemed to be very surprised by this. He whispered to Eunuch Zhang, "Why did the emperor come to Jingyuan Palace at this time?"

Duke Zhang laughed and said, "Isn't it because of the rare thing that the Empress Dowager got? Mr. An, have you heard about it? Oh, the Empress Dowager is very happy. In order to make her happy, the emperor has changed his way to find tricks... hehe..."

An Pingzhi naturally knew that the empress dowager got a good thing, and he also knew that this thing was not from the emperor at all, but that Dou Yandong asked Zeng Yanliang to go to Guicaizhuang in the west of the imperial city. He couldn't hide every move of Xiaohan's mansion, but he couldn't figure out why the emperor suddenly became so active. Is it because he has any chance of winning?

An Pingzhi turned his head and looked at the calm Leng Xuanrong and thought to himself, fortunately that he had brought this woman to the palace this time. At least this Leng Xuanrong was a person who could observe words and colors. At this point, she was thousands of times better than He Ruiping, who was crazy in the prime minister's mansion now.

"Come on, don't let the Empress Dowager and the emperor wait." After saying that, Euke Zhang took everyone into the Jingyuan Palace from the corner door. He didn't walk fast along the way and introduced this place to Leng Xuanrong as he walked.

The fact that An Pingzhi did not take his wife but brought the escaped official's daughter Leng Xuanrong into the palace has long spread in this harem. Eunuch Zhang is the most favored person around the empress dowager, and the news is naturally the most well-informed. Like many powerful people in the palace, he has long been bought by An Longyi and became a settler. Therefore, in order to flatter the young master, Eunuch Zhang also spared no effort to please Leng Xuanrong with a smiling face.

However, after introducing a few places, Eou Zhang found that Leng Xuanrong was indeed different from other women. Although her eyes followed his introduction to look at the scenery in the palace, her heart seemed to have drifted elsewhere. Seeing that she was about to arrive at the main hall, the little girl appeared, but she was not nervous, but seemed to think back and sigh.

What can make such a teenage girl sigh in the inner courtyard of the palace? Grandpa Zhang didn't understand and didn't want to guess more. He quickly took a few steps to lead the way, took them into the hall, and walked around the corner to a side hall inside.

There was a bead curtain in front of the door of the hall, and everyone stopped and stood outside, faintly hearing the sound of laughter inside. Eunuch Zhang asked them to wait and went in first to make a claim. Not long after, he came out and made a request and said, "Please."

An Pingzhi walked in front, Miss Dou San followed closely, followed by An Qiaoqiao, and Leng Xuanrong walked at the end with her head down.

Four people entered the side hall, and Anping saw the person he didn't want to see now.

To the south of this side of the hall are several carved wooden windows, and to the north is a warm couch. There is a square table with futon on the warm couch, which looks very comfortable. Although it is very hot now, this room is as warm as spring, and there is no feeling of heat at all. There are many flowers and plants carefully arranged in the room, which looks much cooler.

Although the empress dowager is dressed in luxurious, it is not formal clothes. Now there is still a period of time before the palace banquet begins. It seems that the empress dowager has not begun to prepare. Although she is almost the age of Huajia, the empress dowager still has charm. She has no intention of national affairs, let alone fighting in the harem. Now she enjoys Qingfu by serving flowers and plants every day, which makes her look a little younger. She sat casually on the warm couch, but she also looked very noble.

It was Huangfeng who sat next to her today, and there was another person sitting there. A cold light flashed in An Ping's eyes, and then knelt down and bowed to several people in front of him.

"See the empress dowager, see the emperor, see... King Xiaohan."

The three women behind knelt down with An Pingzhi, and Leng Xuanrong took a long breath. Seeing Du Yilin, she finally had a little bottom in her heart.

The empress dowager let them all get up softly, then looked at them one by one, waved to An Pingzhi with a light smile, let him sit next to her, and then said, "Pingzhi, you may not have come to the harem for a long time. I heard that you picked up the girl who had a marriage contract for a long time. Why didn't you bring her to the palace today? "

An Pingzhi smiled and whispered, "Since I have picked it back, the Empress Dowager will have a chance to see it in the future. This time, Pingzhi brought another girl to talk to you.

"So this girl is a talkative person? OK, come and let me have a look." The Empress Dowager said and waved to Leng Xuanrong, who was hiding behind.

Leng Xuanrong looked up at the old man sitting on the warm couch opposite. He was really kind-looking. She walked over boldly and was blessed.

"What's your name?" The Empress Dowager asked.

"Feng Xuanrong..."

"Mother, she is the woman mentioned by Yilin just now, the daughter of Leng Chengqi, the former military secretary."

The elegant and gentle voice came, and Leng Xuanrong couldn't help looking up at the speaker. The speaker is the emperor today. He wears a dragon robe and wears a jade crown, and there is a sense of kindness between his eyebrows. Although he looks similar to Du Yilin, the two give people a very different feeling. If he takes off this dragon robe and meets him outside, he will probably only be a teacher, not like the king of a country at all.

The moment Leng Xuanrong looked at the emperor, the emperor also looked at her and looked at each other. Leng Xuanrong couldn't help but be excited and hurriedly lowered her head.

This person has been seen by Leng Xuanrong in his previous life. At that time, Du Yilin brought him. He only looked at Leng Xuanrong from afar. The two did not talk, but Leng Xuanrong still remembers that when he looked at her at that time, his eyes were full of sympathy, and he looked really sorry for her.

Leng Xuanrong was thinking back and heard the Empress Dowager ask the emperor in surprise, "Is it her?"

An Pingzhi narrowed his eyes and looked at Du Yilin, who was leisurely tasting tea in the distance, thinking that this guy really came to the palace early to see the empress dowager in order to gag my mouth. He turned his head and looked at Leng Xuanrong, who was standing there. Seeing that she was still pretending to be at a loss, An Pingzhi couldn't help gritting his teeth fiercely.

The empress dowager seemed to sigh why. After a long time, she asked Leng Xuanrong, "Is your father okay now?"

Although Leng Xuanrong was nervous, she was not confused. She stabilized her mind and replied, "In the past few years, my father has had a lot of problems. Fortunately, she can take care of herself now."

"Alas..." The Empress Dowager sighed and shook her head, "You young people don't understand. If this person is old, his disease will fall. No matter how well you recuperate, you can't return to the past..." With that, the empress dowager actually stood up from the warm bed and walked towards Leng Xuanrong. With her, the emperor and An Pingzhi also stood up. The two helped the empress dowager to walk to Leng Xuanrong. Only then did Leng Xuanrong find that the empress dowager's legs and feet were sick, and it was very difficult to walk. No wonder she has to rest on the warm bed in this hot summer.

Leng Xuanrong hesitated for a moment and finally risked it. Anyway, she is not a woman in the palace and doesn't know the rules in the palace. In case she does something wrong, Du Yilin and An Pingzhi will find a way to support it.

Thinking of this, Leng Xuanrong took a step forward, held the arm stretched out by the Empress Dowager with both hands, and whispered, "Empress Dowager, be careful."

The Empress Dowager stood firm and looked at Leng Xuanrong with a smile. She looked at Leng Xuanrong carefully and praised, "This girl's beautiful eyebrows are indeed somewhat similar to Leng Chengqi's when she was young."

The Empress Dowager's words shocked everyone in the room. Leng Xuanrong thought to herself, listening to the Empress Dowager's tone, was she very familiar with her father? Leng Xuanrong vaguely felt that it was better not to delve into this matter. Now that they mentioned their father, they still don't know whether they should pursue their father's responsibility. Especially when Brother Yan Liang went to pick up the important things left by his father, he hasn't come back yet. It's always better to do more than less.

Leng Xuanrong looked at Du Yilin for help. Du Yilin's eyes were like a blade and cold. He put down the teacup and stood up, strode to the Empress Dowager, frowned and said, "Queen Mother, if you hurt your legs and feet now, you won't see that good thing in a moment."

The empress dowager was shocked and hurriedly waved her hand, "Okay! Go back!"

The emperor smiled bitterly and helped the empress dowager back to the warm bed to rest. Du Yilin came to Leng Xuanrong, glanced at her and hummed. At this time, An Pingzhi also stood beside Leng Xuanrong. He smiled indifferently and said to Du Yilin, "Your Majesty, you are taking care of thousands of opportunities every day, but I didn't expect you to have the heart to join in this fun."

Du Yilin replied coldly, "The Queen Mother summons, and I will naturally come."

As soon as the two talked, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became much stiffer. Leng Xuanrong was caught in the middle by the two of them, neither moving nor moving. There are people on both sides that Leng Xuanrong doesn't want to provoke now. She doesn't even dare to look up at them now.

Fortunately, at this time, An Qiaoqiao rushed forward with a strong step, grabbed Leng Xuanrong's arm, and said loudly to the empress dowager, "Empress dowager! Leng Xuanrong hasn't seen any good things in the palace. Can I take her around?

The empress dowager nodded with a smile, "The Qiaoqiao girl just can't be idle. Go, but the palace banquet is about to start. Don't go too far."

An Qiaoqiao nodded vigorously and pulled Leng Xuanrong out.

When Miss Dou San saw that they were leaving, she hurriedly got up to follow them out, but at this time, An Pingzhi said, "Miss Dou San, I heard that this treasure was made by Mr. Wu of the Imperial Family. Do you know the inside story?"

His words aroused the interest of the Empress Dowager. It was too late for Miss Dou San to chase An Qiaoqiao again. She slowly walked to the empress dowager, and the corners of her eyes swept the figure of An Qiaoqiao and Leng Xuanrong leaving, and a faint uneasiness flashed from the bottom of her heart.
