Dressed as the mistress of the Hou family, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Chapter 42: Personal Care

Fang Xu, who arrived at the palace gate, didn't know yet that within a quarter of an hour, Xie Li actually promised him out.

The three masters and servants were led in, with a palace attendant leading the way.

Fang Xu calmly tilted his head, and Su Zi, who was beside him, understood instantly, took out a purse from his waist, raised a smile, and said with a compliment, "Sister, can you lend me a moment to speak?"

The palace maid who led the way paused and looked down at Su Zi's palm. There lay a heavy purse, which seemed to be quite heavy.

The palace maid turned around without changing her expression and led the three of them to a rockery.

"What do you want to ask?" The palace maid took the purse from Su Zi's hand and slowly stuffed it into her sleeve. It seemed that she often did this.

"Sister." Su Zi smiled knowingly and took two steps forward to get close to her. "Our lady came to the palace after accepting the Queen's offer. Now I want to ask you whether the Queen's mood is good or bad today. .”

The palace maid looked at the three of them and lowered her voice, "The queen has been quite upset recently. The food in Yikun Palace comes out as she pleases. It must be because the queen has a poor appetite. Madam, it's better to pay attention to her words and deeds. Mo Yan touched the one who The bad luck.”

Fang Xu listened, with some considerations in mind, and nodded towards Su Zi.

Su Zi smiled and gave the palace maid two pieces of broken silver, "My sister is still alive and well. I am really grateful to you today."

Holding the silver in her hand, the palace maid smiled slightly and said in a softer tone, "It's getting late. I will bring my wife over earlier."

Fang Xu agreed, turned down several long corridors, and finally arrived in front of the gate of Yikun Palace. There was a woman lingering in front of the gate. Judging from her appearance, she must be a nun from the palace.

The maid bowed and left, leaving three masters and servants behind.

When Mammy saw Fang Xu, her eyes suddenly lit up. She hurriedly stepped forward to greet her and asked in a loud voice, "But Mrs. Yongchenghou?"

Fang Xu wasn't sure where this grandma's excitement came from, but he nodded calmly.

"Oh, I'm finally looking forward to seeing you!" Grandma's smile widened and her tone sounded like she was relieved, "This old slave is Grandma Chang who works by the Queen's side. Her Majesty has ordered me to send this old slave to wait for my wife here."

Fang Xu curled his lips and called Mammy softly.

Grandma Chang smiled happily and raised her hand towards the inner courtyard, "Ma'am, please come this way. Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."

After that, Grandma Chang walked in first, followed by the three masters and servants, and stepped into Yikun Palace.

The furnishings in the courtyard are luxurious, with crabapple flowers blooming on both sides, the fragrance is always present in the courtyard, palace lanterns are on the floor, and the mahogany frame is inlaid with five-color gems, which is dazzling.

The beautiful scenery was in front of him, but Fang Xu had no intention of admiring it. All he could think about was the Queen's intention.

Pushing open the palace door, Grandma Chang said in a cheerful tone, "Madam, please come this way."

The main hall of Yikun Palace is very large. There are two upper seats and about twenty chairs in the lower one. It seems that they were prepared for the concubine to pay her respects.

Aunt Chang did not stop, but brought Fang Xu into the inner hall.

The decoration of the inner hall is not as luxurious as the outside. Instead, it is low-key, restrained, clean and tidy.

There was a woman sitting on the floor in the hall, with an elegant face and a dignified posture. She was dressed in a dark red coat, with pearl flowers on her temples, a phoenix crown on her head, and a tired look on her face, as if she had not slept all night.

"Your Majesty, the people from Yongcheng Mansion are here!" Aunt Chang led Fang Xu into the house, raised her voice, and looked happy.

Queen Zhu was stunned, raised her eyes, and met Sang Xu's gaze.

"I've seen the emperor..."

"Stop making these false gestures and sit down quickly." Queen Zhu looked eager and patted the empty seat beside her.

<divclass="contentadv">Fang Xu paused and looked at the queen in surprise. After thinking about it again and again, he sat a little far away from her.

Queen Zhu was not annoyed, but her eyes were a little more anxious, "I heard from A Lan that you have a good way of dealing with others?"

Fang Xu blinked and asked softly, "The person you are talking about...is my sister?"

"nature."

Fang Xu received a response and pursed his lips, "Maybe."

"That's great!" Queen Zhu's face brightened instantly, with a slight smile on her lips, "There is someone here in this palace, please help her cook her to death!"

"Food... cooked to death?" Fang Xu was dumbfounded, and Su Zi and Bai Ji behind him also looked at each other.

"Yes, kill her!" Queen Zhu gritted her teeth, her gentle and generous face now wrinkled up, making people tremble with fear.

"Your Majesty is in a high position. If you want to take action, why do you need me to be a concubine?" Fang Xu didn't understand and simply asked directly.

Queen Zhu sighed and touched her temples with her fingertips, "If I can do it, why bother you?"

"Can't you even deal with me?" Fang Xu's face condensed, "Who is this person?"

She would never be allowed to cook the emperor!

Queen Zhu's body softened a bit, and the tiredness between her eyebrows became thicker, "Listen to me and tell you in detail."

"The year before last, there were frequent floods in the south of the Yangtze River. Countless disaster funds were allocated, but they never showed any effect, which caused the emperor a lot of headaches." Queen Zhu's expression was dull, and she didn't even have the strength to raise her eyelids. "The prince has reached the age of going to court. I learned that This matter is also worrying me.”

"Later, Jiangnan became increasingly difficult to control, so the prince asked himself to leave the palace to assist in water control."

"Everything is fine. The prince has been away for two years, and the floods in the south of the Yangtze River have been controlled. He just came back recently." Speaking of this, Queen Zhu's eyes filled with a trace of anger, "But... the prince met a peasant girl in the south of the Yangtze River. Instead of having a heated fight, he even... even hid her in the carriage before leaving and took her back to Beijing!"

"In order to protect her, the prince didn't even bother to go to court and asked for leave again and again." After saying this, Queen Zhu seemed to have completely lost her strength and leaned lazily on the couch, "I sent someone to negotiate with this woman. , but she has no repentance at all, and her love is as high as the sky."

"Mrs. Yongchenghou, please come up with a solution!" Empress Zhu held her forehead with a grimace on her face, "I really have no choice."

Just as Fang Xu was about to speak, a little palace maid ran in from the door and knelt down on the ground, "Mother, Miss Lu is here!"

After hearing what the little palace maid said about Miss Lu, Queen Zhu's hair was visibly frightened. She no longer looked as lifeless as before, but was full of fighting spirit.

Fang Xu knew that this Miss Lu must be the peasant girl brought back by the idiot prince.

"Mrs. Yongcheng!" Queen Zhu looked at Fang Xu, her eyes full of hope, as if she was waiting for an answer from her.

Fang Xu sighed, "Empress, I will go with you."

Queen Zhu immediately received a shot of blood and whispered, "Don't worry, I will stop you from doing anything, so just go ahead and do it!"

Fang Xu stood up and said softly, "Let's go, Madam."

The two of them came to the outer hall one after another. In just two hundred meters, Queen Zhu found out seventeen mistakes made by Miss Lu. Fang Xu couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

In the hall, Lu Tingting was wearing an ivory cloud top and a jade hairpin. She was thin, her skin was a healthy wheat color, and her little hands were folded on her knees. She looked so pitiful.

Seeing Queen Zhu come out, Lu Tingting stood up slowly and made a strange salute. She said in a voice as quiet as a mosquito, "The daughter of the people has met the Queen."
