Just as Zhang Shui'er passed out, news came from the door that the Queen Mother's phoenix chariot would arrive at the door in a quarter of an hour.
Isn't it unlucky to pass out just in time for the Queen Mother's birthday party?
Mrs. Qiu was so anxious that there was a small amount of sweat on her forehead. She hurriedly called her grandma and maid to help Zhang Shui'er aside.
Lu Xinran looked at the excitement with a smile, but rarely complained in her heart.
She was now completely focused on the ladies who had been thinking about Lu Xinlan just now. She just waited for everyone to pay their respects to the Queen Mother, and then found a place closer to them to eat in peace.
"Tongzi, is within ten steps too close?"
Calculated according to the stride length of an adult, ten steps is only seven or eight meters.
If there was no cover at such a close distance, it would be easy to be discovered while eating melon.
Tongyin hummed, and after a long while, she hummed, "When your health points are saved for a whole year, my energy will be able to support a longer distance. The higher your health points, the farther the distance can be." "
Lu Xinran: "..."
So blame her.
It's her fault that she didn't work hard enough.
While he was arguing with Tongzi, his arm was suddenly pulled down by Lu Xinlan beside him.
She hurriedly came to her senses and walked quickly towards the gate, following Pei and Zhao.
Not long after everyone arrived outside the door, the Queen Mother's chariot arrived in front of the door.
First, the concubines got out of the car to help the queen, and then the queen led a group of concubines to invite the queen mother.
Everyone who came to attend the birthday banquet knelt down in front of the door to greet him.
Lu Xinlan was very afraid that Lu Xinran would complain inappropriately about the class system at this time. Fortunately, the people around him had already jumped into the melon fields to do the work and couldn't care less about complaining.
They come, the security.
She still understands this.
Zhang Shui'er and Qiu were so arrogant, but they both had to kneel down to salute.
When someone is with her, she feels balanced!
The Queen Mother got off the phoenix chariot and looked at the women on the ground. She smiled lovingly and waved her hand to signal everyone to get up.
"Get up quickly, come in and talk to the Ai family."
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly glanced at Zhang Shui'er, who had his head lowered and did not dare to look at her.
"What's going on with Shui'er? Why didn't you come to look for your aunt and the Yi family?"
The Queen Mother had already asked about it, so Zhang Shui'er could only move closer to her. As soon as she raised her head, the bloody fingerprints under her nose were revealed.
The Queen Mother was shocked, and Queen Zhang beside her hurriedly pulled her over with heartache.
"What's going on? But who bullied you?"
Zhang Shui'er's body was still in burning pain at this moment. When she thought about why she fainted just now, she was so angry that she wanted to cry.
She moved her fingertips, but she no longer dared to complain regardless.
"Shui'er is fine. Empress Dowager Lao and her aunt are worried."
When she said this, the Queen Mother stopped asking any more questions, smiled, and walked in first, supported by the palace attendants, and went to the waterside pavilion that had already been arranged.
Zhang Shui'er followed Qiu aggrievedly, not forgetting to glare fiercely at Lu Xinran when he passed by.
【What's wrong with this man? Why do you always stare at me when nothing happens? 】
Another voice came from the heart, and Mrs. Qiu looked at Lu Xinran thoughtfully, only to see the other person with his head lowered, standing obediently and calmly behind Mrs. Zhao.
The doubts in her heart disappeared in a flash. The Queen Mother and the Empress had already walked away, and she hurriedly led others to follow them.
As soon as the Queen Mother sat down, someone leaned into her ear and told her what had just happened in Ronghui Garden.
She raised her eyebrows in surprise, never expecting that such a civet cat-for-prince thing would happen in the Lu family.
She scanned the crowd, and within a moment she saw the girl standing obediently next to Mr. Pei.
She is of good color, delicate but not weak, charming but not demonic.
As if feeling her gaze, the little girl looked up and saw a pair of round, almond-shaped eyes, pure and pure.
She waved, signaling Lu Xinran to come closer.
Lu Xinran panicked and hurriedly walked around the person in front of her and walked to the Queen Mother.
"I have met the Queen Mother and wish her well. I wish the Queen Mother good health, long happiness, longevity, and good health and longevity. May you be happy every day."
She was hurriedly saying birthday wishes, which she had obviously been used to hearing for a long time, but when she heard them said in a crisp tone, the Queen Mother's eyebrows relaxed, and the smile on the corners of her lips became deeper.
"Yeah, he's a good boy."
The praise came from the Queen Mother, and Lu Xinran couldn't help but feel proud.
【How praised by the Queen Mother! 】
【So happy. 】
[Hehehe, the Queen Mother has agreed, let’s see who dares to dislike me for coming back from the countryside! 】
Suddenly hearing a series of voices in her heart, the Queen Mother was slightly startled, and then looked at the girl in front of her carefully.
The sound was exactly the same, coming from the person in front of me, but...she clearly didn't move her lips just now.
"How long have you been back in the capital?"
"Back to the Queen Mother, it's been almost a month since I returned to Beijing."
"Are you still used to it?"
Lu Xinran nodded obediently: "My grandmother and sister treat me very well."
I only mentioned my grandmother and sister, but not my parents.
The Queen Mother smiled at the person in front of her, this girl is really interesting.
She glanced at Pei and Lu Xinlan who were standing outside the water pavilion. Both of them had uncontrollable nervousness on their faces.
"Sister, are you referring to girl Xinlan?"
"Yes, my sister is two days older than me."
[The Queen Mother asked Lu Xinlan what he was doing? Don’t you think we should just talk about each other and look down on each other? 】
[But, given my IQ and she wants to plot against me, I can only lie down, so what else is there? 】
[And she is so good to me, closer than my own sister, so why bother talking about it. 】
The Queen Mother listened to her string of thoughts with great interest. The Queen beside her went from shock to understanding, then to thoughtfulness, and finally glanced at the aggrieved Zhang Shui'er with her peripheral vision.
"Qiuhua, the Ai family likes this girl."
The old palace man standing behind the Queen Mother smiled and stepped forward, took a string of Buddhist beads from the tray and handed them to Lu Xinran.
Lu Xinran instantly felt as if she had been knocked unconscious by the grand prize, and she hurriedly took it with both hands and knelt down to thank her.
[The task has been exceeded, so my grandmother and sister can rest assured! 】
The Queen Mother followed her heart and looked at Pei and Lu Xinlan. Well, those two seemed to be about to cry~
Waving his hand to signal her to leave, Lu Xinran happily returned to Lu Xinlan with the beads, not forgetting to wave her wrist in a showy way.
Lu Xinlan's back was soaked with sweat. Within ten steps, countless people heard her voice.
The queen mother and empress above must have heard it too.
She turned away and hurriedly pressed the thin sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief.
Someone from the palace hurriedly ran by, knelt beside the Queen Mother and kept apologizing.
"The Queen Mother, Concubine Chen, Concubine Chen is not feeling well. She will come with Your Majesty later."
This bitch!
The queen held on to the handkerchief tightly, preventing herself from smashing the tea bowl in her hand.
The Queen Mother sighed, her son was also confused!
After waving away the palace maid, she looked at the queen lovingly.
"The Ai family knows that you feel aggrieved, but, hey, Concubine Chen has just had her confinement, so the emperor will inevitably favor her a little. The matter is over, so don't think too much about it."
The queen was wronged?
Lu Xinran's heart moved and she immediately started the melon-eating system.
The big melon in the palace is very valuable!
It’s definitely worth more than Zhao’s!
Mr. Zhao is worse than a dead man.
