Rong Yue originally thought that the palace had other plans for summoning her and Tang Ning to the palace in the name of serving illnesses, and was wary of this move in her heart, but she didn't expect Fang Qin to say that Emperor An had summoned so many people.
She and Tang Ning looked at each other, both of them a little confused.
Is it possible that Emperor An really wanted to find some people with good fortunes to enter the palace to "reduce evil" for the Queen Mother because of what Qin Tianjian said?
Fang Qin didn't pay attention to the expressions of Tang Ning and others, and only replied respectfully: "Actually, these people are not the only ones summoned by the palace. I heard that there are still some people who will come to the palace one after another, including the female relatives from the Xuan family. It’s just that the slave is not on duty in Shoukang Palace, so the details are not clear.”
Tang Ning was even more confused. Even the Xuan family came?
The scandal between Mrs. Xuan and Cui Lin last time was very public.
The Queen Mother was very protective of the Xuan family because there were not many people alive after the Xuan family returned from exile, and she took care of her nephews and nieces. However, in order to help Cui Lin deal with Xiao Yan, Mrs. After hearing that the Queen Mother knew about this, she became angry and fainted.
Qian Qiyue smacked her tongue when she heard Fang Qin's words. She couldn't help but hold Tang Ning's hand and wink at her.
When the Xuan family comes to the palace to attend to illness, aren't they afraid of pissing off the Queen Mother to death?
Although Tang Ning didn't listen to her words, he understood what she wanted to express. The corners of her mouth twitched, and Rong Yue beside her almost couldn't hold it back.
Fangqin led the three of them all the way to the Forbidden Palace, passed through the long corridor, then walked around the Imperial Garden, and finally stopped at the southeast corner of the Inner Palace.
"The Shoukang Palace is in front of you. The three nobles will be waiting for you later, and your servant will go to report."
"Excuse me, Aunt Fangqin."
The door of Shoukang Palace was wide open, and when Fangqin came forward to report, Tang Ning and the others were waiting outside.
Qian Qiyue lowered her voice: "Tang Ning, just now this aunt said that the female members of the Fu family are also here. Mrs. Fu is old and the girls of the Fu family are all married. Isn't that one of them entering the palace..."
Tang Ning remained calm, her red lips parted slightly: "We'll find out when we get in."
Fangqin had already made arrangements with others before, and when she came out, she was followed by a more elegantly dressed palace maid.
After Fang Qin and Tang Ning bowed and left, the maid turned towards the three of them and said, "Your servant Cailing has met Mrs. Rongguo, Princess Xiangning and Lady Qian. Please follow me."
Tang Ning and the others followed Cai Ling into the painted red door, and saw a lot of people inside.
The Shoukang Palace is not as bleak as the outside. The spacious main hall is extremely beautiful, and there are several plum blossoms that seem to be blooming in front of the hall.
Square wind chimes hang on the eaves of the raised corners, and roses and camellias of four colors are in full bloom on the corridor under the eaves. The flowers and leaves face the cold without losing their color, and the clusters of flowers do not indicate the severe cold of winter at all.
There were five or six palace officials standing in front of the palace, and Tang Ning and the others saluted as they passed by.
"Yue Jian, you and Shi Lan are waiting outside."
"Yes, girl."
Tang Ning gave instructions, then opened the curtain and entered the side hall. As soon as he saw it, he saw that there were many people sitting inside, talking quietly together.
Hearing the movement in front of the door, everyone turned around quietly, but Tang Ning and Rong Yue held their breath subconsciously. It was really the bitter smell of medicinal herbs and the smell of burning sandalwood in the hall that mixed together, making people feel choked and panicked.
"Ah sneeze!"
Qian Qiyue couldn't help but sneeze.
The people inside were silent, and the next moment someone laughed: "Miss Qian is still full of energy after not seeing her for a long time."
Qian Qiyue glanced at the person who spoke: "It's not as if Princess Huan is nearly fifty, she's still twenty-eight."
After being dressed up carefully and looking at the rather wealthy Princess Huan, who was not yet forty, her face froze, and the corners of the lips of the concubine of Prince Ji next to her moved.
The people next to him could hold back their laughter and slightly curled their eyes, but they couldn't bear it and almost shook their shoulders and burst into laughter.
Almost all those who can enter the palace are powerful and powerful families in the capital, and they know a little bit about the past "grievances" between Prince Huan's Palace and the Qian family.
About two years ago, Princess Huan fell in love with the daughter of the Qian family and wanted to propose marriage for her youngest son. However, the Qian family had no intention of marrying their daughter into the royal family, and Emperor An was in power at the time. Qian Baokun, as the Minister of Household Affairs, was not in a position to marry the prince. There was a marriage in the palace, so when Princess Huan mentioned this matter several times at banquets, Mrs. Qian just ignored her and said nothing else.
Later, Princess Huan seemed to be in a hurry and made the matter clear, and Mrs. Qian refused directly because the daughter of the Qian family was still young.
This is nothing at all. Marriage is a matter of mutual consent. However, because the youngest son of Prince Huan's palace was pampered by the palace since he was a child, he had a generous temper. He knew that the Qian family refused the marriage and felt that it was a loss of face. , looking for an opportunity to cause trouble for the girl from the Qian family, but was severely beaten by the girl from the Qian family.
His legs were broken, and his appearance was almost broken. The young men who followed him to fight cocks and walk dogs were beaten to the point of crying for father and mother.
Later, the matter broke into the palace. Before Princess Huan and the others could cause trouble for the Qian family, Qian Baokun directly filed a complaint in front of Shengqian, saying that the young man of Prince Huan's palace and the libertine from that family wanted to plot against his daughter. Even the people from Yushitai followed suit.
This matter was quite a big deal at that time, and many people inside and outside the palace laughed at it.
Anyone who can play with King Huan's son is from a prominent family. If it were anyone else, he would have to swallow his anger, but he bumped into the Qian family who was protecting his shortcomings.
Qian Qiyue didn't say anything about the last thing. The palace also specially issued an order to appease Qian Baokun. Together with Prince Huan's Mansion and other families, not only were they unable to cause trouble for Qian Qiyue, but they also had to bring their own family members who were beaten all over with injuries. My son, I came to apologize, and as the "mastermind", the young man of Prince Huan's Mansion got slapped twenty times.
Princess Huan just got into trouble with the Qian family, and she even looked down upon Qian Qiyue.
After being ridiculed, she immediately said with a cold face: "Miss Qian is still as ignorant of the rules as before."
Qian Qiyue was not annoyed at all, but smiled and showed her white teeth: "That is indeed not as good as Xie Xiaolangjun's rules."
"I heard that he and Madam Liu from Fengxian Tower are about to have a good relationship. A few days ago, I went to the embroidery shop in the south of the city to personally pick out a wedding dress for Madam Liu. When Madam Liu comes into the house, the princess must remember to send me a post, so that she can I would like to give you a big gift from this junior, thank you Madam Liu for eliminating harm to the people..."
"you!"
Qian Qiyue quickly took half a step back, narrowly avoiding Princess Huan's finger that almost poked her in the face. Then, as if she was a little embarrassed to tell the truth, she raised her sleeves to cover her mouth and smiled implicitly.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. This junior should congratulate her and Xie Xiaolangjun on how they can work together and grow old together."
"I hope that Mrs. Liu can win a man at one stroke and give birth to a big fat boy for Xie Xiaolangjun, so that the princess can have grandchildren with her."
Princess Huan: "...Qian Qiyue!!"
Princess Huan was so angry that veins popped out on her forehead, and she wanted to tear Qian Qiyue's face off when she was smiling.
