Concubine Xi's Empress Dowagers the Country and the City [Qing Wear]

Both Rong Qing and Peng entered the palace for the first time, so they were unavoidably apprehensive.

Fortunately, the empress is a prudent person, and as soon as the two of them got off the carriage, the father-in-law came forward to ask.

"The two of you are Mrs. and Miss Niu Gulu?"

"We are." Mrs. Peng replied with a pleasant smile. The father-in-law and maids in the palace are also not to be offended.

The father-in-law immediately became more friendly: "That's right, our little Quan is working in front of the empress, and the empress specially ordered our family to come to welcome the two of you. You two, this way please."

"It turns out to be Eunuch Quan, so let's thank the Empress and Eunuch Quan first." Mrs. Peng thanked politely, took Rong Qing's hand and followed.

Along the way, Rong Qing casually looked around the palace compound, and found that it was similar to the Forbidden City in memory.It seems that although the world has gone wrong, the architecture is still the same.

After walking for a long time, the three arrived at their destination.

The queen empress lives in the Kunning Palace, which is located in the middle of the East and West Twelve Palaces, endowed with a magnificent atmosphere.

Entering the main hall, they found that the empress was already waiting there, Rong Qing and Rong Qing hurriedly knelt down and saluted to say hello.

"The minister's wife, Mrs. Peng, and the minister's daughter, Mrs. Niu Gulu, have met the empress, and the empress is blessed and safe."

"Pingshen." The queen's voice sounded very young, and Rong Qing couldn't help taking a sneak peek when he got up, and was stunned on the spot.

She couldn't describe the beauty of the Empress Empress at all, she seemed to be glowing all over, just like the fairy in the legend!

Empress Mingming is not young anymore, she is approaching half a hundred, but she looks only in her early thirties, her beauty is soul-stirring.

She understood why the emperor favored the empress alone, even she wanted to take a look at such a beauty who was as beautiful as a fairy.

"Presumptuous, don't look directly at the empress." Just as she was thinking wildly, a reprimand pulled Rong Qing back.

Only then did Rong Qing realize that he was staring blankly at the queen, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "I beg your forgiveness."

The queen smiled softly: "Many people are the same as you when they first meet me. Sit down and talk."

Even the voice is so pleasant.

"Thank you, empress." Rong Qing calmed down and sat down beside Peng Shi.

A court lady brought tea and snacks, and Peng thanked her, her hands trembling nervously.

Rong Qing was much calmer, or rather, more confused.

I heard the queen ask: "Did Rong Qing like yesterday's gift?"

"Back to your empress, Rong Qing likes it very much, thank you for your reward." With half-down eyes, Rong Qing could only see the queen's gorgeous clothes and skirts.

"It's fine if you like it. I invite you to enter the palace today, but I want to chat with you a few times, so don't be nervous." The queen said with a gentle smile, "Try some dim sum, which were just prepared and sent by the imperial dining room."

Rong Qing tasted a piece, it was not very sweet, but very soft and fragrant, very delicious.

"how is the taste?"

"Extremely delicious."

The queen smiled, and ordered: "Si Chan, let the imperial dining room make two more dishes, and bring them to Rong Qing later."

"Yes, empress." The little palace maid took the order to retreat.

"Thank you, empress." Rong Qing was amused, never expecting such a good thing.It has to be said that the food made by this imperial dining room is delicious, and it is the most delicious food she has eaten in this world.

"Are you curious why you were suddenly given a marriage to the fourth elder brother?" The queen suddenly changed the topic, and Rong Qing's smile disappeared instantly.

"I also ask the empress to enlighten me." She didn't expect the empress to take the initiative to bring up this matter.

The queen laughed and said: "You will know when the time comes, Si elder brother won't let me tell you."

Rong Qing: "..."

What's the meaning?Is there any secret in it?Rong Qing became more and more suspicious of some ulterior motives.

"I heard that you are good at medicine, why don't you show me, I feel a little sleepy today." The queen changed the subject again, and Rong Qing almost didn't keep up.

Peng immediately became even more nervous. Her daughter has been working on medical books recently. What kind of medical skills is that superficial knowledge?What if the empress looks bad at this?

She hurriedly winked at Rong Qing, trying to make Rong Qing refuse.

Rong Qing had his own considerations, the queen would not make such a request for no reason, not to mention, the maid next to her didn't respond at all, which was quite abnormal.

There is only one reason, the Queen did it on purpose.

Either he wanted to test her medical skills, or he wanted to communicate with her alone.

Thinking of this, Rong Qing replied: "If the empress does not dislike her, the minister will give her a consultation. It's just that the minister has little talent and has only studied medicine for a short time, so her strength is very limited."

"It's okay, just give it a try." The empress looked admiring, got up with the help of the maid, and walked to the bedroom.

Rong Qing became more and more sure that the queen just wanted to communicate with her alone!

She got up and followed, and Mrs. Peng wanted to go too, but was blocked by another court lady, and she became anxious immediately.

After the queen lay down, she asked the maid to go out, and soon only the queen and Rong Qing were left in the bedroom.

Rong Qing sat on the side of the bed with a calm expression, first took the empress's pulse, and found that the empress was in good health, not at all like a person in her late [-]s.

"Looking at your way of diagnosing the pulse, it doesn't look like you just learned medicine." The queen broke the silence, with temptation in her words.

"You made me laugh. In fact, my daughter secretly studied medicine by herself when she was a child, and Ama Erniang didn't find out." Rong Qing did not deny it, and launched the first temptation: "My daughter not only studied Chinese medicine, but also secretly learned medicine." Western medicine."

"Oh?" The queen really became interested, and asked with a smile: "Then tell me, what is the difference between Western medicine and Chinese medicine?"

Rong Qing glanced at her and replied: "Western medicine does not diagnose the pulse, but uses various instruments to see a doctor. For example, if you have a child, if it is difficult to deliver, you will perform surgery. If you have a fever, you will use a thermometer to measure the temperature, which is more accurate than simply measuring the temperature with your hands." .”

"It sounds like a big difference, but as far as I know, there is no thermometer in this era, right?" The queen spoke softly, but stared at Rong Qing very sharply.

"What the empress said is true." Rong Qing looked at her, and then both of them laughed.

After a while, the queen said: "That day I heard that you cured the fourth elder brother...'s guard, and the method was very clever, so I guessed that you have an extraordinary background. You should have already guessed that I am the same as you, People who were not from this world.”

After all, she has done many things that do not belong to this era, such as inventing perfume, soap, woolen gloves and scarves and so on.

With a little guesswork, you can guess her origin.

"It's a guess. I thought about meeting the empress before, but I didn't expect it to come true. By the way, I have only been here for less than a month. How long has the empress been here?" , Rong Qing was not so vigilant anymore, and talked about her past experiences with great interest.

"It's been many years. I was only in my teens before I entered the palace. I came here in [-]. When were you?" The queen sat up, and the two of them no longer pretended to check their pulse, nor did they have so much etiquette and rules.

"Then I'll be one year later than you. I came here in [-]." Rong Qing was very happy. She didn't expect the two of them to live so close together, and they felt closer.

The queen smiled and said: "That's really a fate, we came here a year apart, but we became mother-in-law and daughter-in-law here."

Rong Qing was a little depressed, always feeling that she was being taken advantage of.

"Do you know who you are now?" the queen asked again.

Rong Qing's smile restrained: "Concubine Xi?"

"It seems that you are not stupid." The queen nodded slightly: "Your luck is not bad. Now Yinzhen only has one Fujin, and the relationship between the two is very weak. After you enter the mansion, you will be a Fujin, and you don't have to. I am worried that he will take a concubine again. This child was taught by me personally since he was a child, and he is very dedicated to feelings."

"The empress is good at teaching children." Rong Qing has complicated emotions, so what if the fourth brother is dedicated?Not someone she likes. "Because I am Concubine Xi, did your empress marry me to the fourth elder brother?"

"Why do you think so? You and I are both experienced, how can we force others to be difficult?" The queen looked at her in surprise, and said with a chuckle: "The fourth prince asked the emperor to marry him on his own initiative."

"Ah?" Rong Qing was more surprised than she was, did the fourth elder brother take the initiative to ask the emperor to marry him?Why?She hasn't met the fourth elder brother, okay?

It turned out that she had misunderstood the queen, and it seemed that her villain's heart was out of the gentleman's belly.

"You'll know the details when the time comes." The queen purposely whetted her appetite, but didn't tell her, and then said with a gloomy gaze: "By the way, the eighth elder brother also entered the palace that day to ask the emperor to marry him. Side Fujin."

Rong Qing nodded solemnly: "I've heard about this too, ma'am, could it be that there are people with the same background as us on the eighth elder brother's side? After thinking about it, I feel that something is wrong. My younger sister drowned. My concubine confessed that a noble lady bribed her to do this."

"Is there such a thing?" The queen also frowned, and her voice became a lot colder: "It seems that the man next to Brother Eight is more ruthless than I imagined, and he actually attacked you in advance."

The queen admits that there are people on the eighth elder brother's side to help.

"Ma'am, do you know who that person is?"

"I can't be sure, but I have some guesses." The queen said coldly: "You just said that you are a noble lady, so the target of suspicion is more clear."

"Eight Fujin?"

The queen didn't make a sound, which was a tacit agreement.

"But you don't have to worry too much. Now she is in the open and you are in the dark. You must not expose it. You have a marriage from the emperor, and I summon you again today. If she wants to do something to you, she will have to weigh it."

"I understand." Rong Qing agreed, she also thought so.

After being silent for a while, the queen suddenly smiled faintly: "In a few days, I will summon you into the palace again, and then I will let you meet Bafujin and Nianshi. Heh, I want to meet her personally for a while."

Rong Qing was stunned. At this moment, the queen actually exuded a murderous aura.

This is the empress who is the mother of the world!
