Chapter 159 The Queen gives a hairpin
"Sister, I'll go with you." Ji Shuidong said that she thought the queen was good, amiable, and didn't want Yufei and Xiao Shufei to be so arrogant and easy to get along with.
"No, since the Empress just asked me to go alone, there must be something to say to me. You can wait for me here." Yao Yulu said, and then let Wuer wear it well.
Seeing that the queen could not be casual, she still chose a light red dress, which was not flamboyant and not very rude. Yao Yulu only took Lv Fanxiao and Xiao Xuanzi. These two people were cautious. If there was any wind blowing, they would react faster. The most important thing was that Yao Yulu trusted these two people.
Just arrived at Fengyuan Hall, and there were two internal supervisors standing next to them. The internal supervisor saw Yao Yulu arrive and hurriedly saluted.
"I want to see Yao Guiren."
"Get up." Yao Yulu didn't even look at them and walked in on her own, but the two internal supervisors stopped Yao Yulu with a smile on their faces. Yao Yulu suddenly felt depressed and her face immediately cooled down.
"What does father-in-law mean?"
"Yao Guiren, the Empress said that only Yao Guiren is allowed to enter alone, and her idle people can wait outside." One of them seemed to be an experienced father-in-law said.
Yao Yulu glanced at them and wondered that the Empress only allowed her to enter alone? Why on earth is this? Is there anything confidential that should not be known to others?
"Fang Xiao, Xiao Xuanzi, you two wait outside." Yao Yulu walked in directly after saying that. Since she has arrived here, is there any reason not to enter?
Yao Yulu stepped in. The queen was not in the front hall. She was a little puzzled and had to walk in step by step. The light inside was not very good. In the inner hall, she suddenly saw the queen sitting on the main seat and looking at Yao Yulu with a smile.
Yao Yulu did not dare to neglect and saluted directly, "I want to see the Empress, and the Empress is auspicious."
"Yao Guiren, please get up." The queen spoke faintly.
Yao Yulu stood up, and there was no one to wait beside the queen. At this moment, there were only the queen and Yao Yulu in the huge inner hall.
"Do you know why this palace summoned you to the Fengyuan Hall?" The queen took a sip of tea and said.
Yao Yulu paused for a moment. Could it be for Xu Yanning? So why are there only two of them here? Suddenly, he was also confused and simply shook his head.
"I don't know, please explain." Yao Yulu has been hanging her head and never raising it. The queen did not speak, but slowly came to her. Suddenly, a cold thing touched her chin, and her chin was picked up, and the cold thing was the queen's armor.
"Yao Guiren, don't be nervous. We are all sisters. Why should we be nervous?" The queen suddenly smiled and showed a little smile on her face. Yao Yulu looked straight. Although the queen was smiling, the smile never extended to her eyes.
"What the queen said." Yao Yulu said lightly.
"Yao Guiren was the first to find out about Xu Cairen's failure to fall into the water?" The queen asked in the chair again.
Yao Yulu took a deep look at the queen. Didn't the queen say that she had fallen into the water? Even the emperor didn't ask, but he came to ask her again at this time? Do you want to say something to her?
"In the words of the Empress, Qiu Gong, the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was still present at that time, so Yulu didn't see it alone." Yao Yulu replied, of course, at this time, you can't foolishly say that only you can see it. If so, I don't know if the queen will condon her casually. At that time, she will really be dumb and eat Huang Lian.
"Oh?" The queen raised her eyebrows slightly, "But I also heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been looking for a long time but I haven't found it, and my sister suddenly saw Xu Cairen's body, which is really a coincidence."
Yao Yulu was shocked when she heard the queen's words, and the cold sweat immediately fell down. Does the queen want to frame the blame? She secretly calmed her mind and then said, "I don't know what the Empress wants to say."
"Xu Cairen and Yao Guiren have always been friends in the palace, but they all know that. If it's going to rain that day, Xu Cairen is still going out in the wind, he must have met an acquaintance. Maybe it's really been done by an acquaintance?" The queen's face has been smiling, staring at Yao Yulu and looking at any tiny expressions on her face.
Yao Yulu's eyes tightened and looked at the queen. She really didn't expect that the queen really wanted to push this matter to her, so why did she tell people outside about Xu Yanning's mistake? Does the queen want to sell her a favor?
"The queen may not know that the emperor spent the night with her concubine. May I ask, how could the concubine meet Xu Cairen with the emperor at that time?" Yao Yulu said neither humble nor arrogantly.
The queen's face remained unchanged, still looking at Yao Yulu, without the disappointment that Yao Yulu wanted to see. She did not speak, but the armor in her hand hit the table regularly.
"Yao Guiren, you haven't seen your sister for a while, have you?" The queen suddenly asked.
Yao Yulu frowned and immediately understood that the queen had just given her a downpocampus, and her real purpose should be to want her to be the empress.
"My concubine suffered from a cold a few days ago, so I have been recovering in Xinghui Palace, so I didn't go to see my sister."
"Is Yao Guiren all right now?" The queen took a sip of tea and asked.
"Thank you for thinking about Yulu so much. Yulu is fine." Yao Yulu replied, feeling depressed for a while. She didn't know what she wanted to do. The specific purpose did not specify, and she had been playing Tai Chi.
"My role is to manage the sweet things inside and outside the three palaces. By the way, the Empress Dowager's birthday has just recently, and Yulu must play well. By the way, I think this jade hairpin is very suitable for you, and I will send it to you today." The Empress brought an emerald jade hairpin with pearls from the side. The pearl was so big that she knew at a glance that it was not ordinary. Yao Yulu suddenly felt flattered.
"Empress, I can't take such a valuable thing."
"I said that if you want it, you will get it. If you wear this jade hairpin on the Empress Dowager's birthday, you will definitely be able to be beautiful." The queen smiled faintly and handed the jade hairpin to Yao Yulu's hand.
Yao Yulu saw that she couldn't escape, so she had to take it over. After that, she chatted a lot, but most of them were some irrelevant words. When Yao Yu showed up, it was almost dark. Xiao Xuanzi and Lv Panxiao still stood outside the door of Fengyuan Hall and greeted them when they saw Yao Yu's appearance.
"Little Lord, are you all right?" Xiao Xuanzi came up and asked.
Yao Yulu shook her head and said, "Let's go back to Xinghui Palace. It's not appropriate to talk here because there are many people."
Several of them arrived at the Xinghui Palace, and Ji Shuidong had left a long time ago. Lv Fanxiao closed the door directly when he saw Yao Yulu entering the house, while Xiao Xuanzi took the wind outside.
"Auntie, why are you so mysterious?" Ninger asked doubtfully.
Lv Pangxiao looked at the two of them, and then looked at Yao Yulu again. Yao Yulu just arrived at a cup of tea and sat aside. "Neinger, Wuer, you two go and get some snacks."
The two of them left doubtfully. Lv Pangxiao closed the door and stood beside Yao Yulu. Yao Yulu took out the jade hairpin in her hand. "Do you know what this jade hairpin is?"
Lv Panxiao also took the jade hairpin and looked around, and finally shook his head. "I really haven't seen such a luxurious jade hairpin slave."
"I don't know what the queen meant by sending me, and she also said that if I could wear it on the Empress Dowager's birthday, she would definitely be able to overwhelm the crowd." Yao Yulu half squinted and said.
"I really don't know what the empress means." Lv Pangxiao shook her head and said, if in the past, the Empress had always been cold to Yao Yulu and had never shown goodwill, but now suddenly sent a jade hairpin, would it be a goodwill to her?
"I think she wants to win over me. Now the Jade Concubine is favored. Although I am her sister, she is not cold to me. Does the queen see this, so she wants to pull me over to her?"
"What does the little master mean?" Lv Pang raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.
Yao Yulu took a sip of hot tea and also look at Lv Panxiao, "Now my sister is in the limelight. If I really get close to the queen, I don't know what my sister will think. At that time, I'm afraid it will suffer on both sides and it will be more difficult to do."
"The little master is thoughtful." Lv Pangxiao lowered his head and said.
Yao Yulu doesn't talk anymore. In this place, if nothing can be done, she won't live long at all, so she has to do this.
