Chapter 180 Concubine Rou is back!
Seeing that the Queen Mother's emotions were out of control, the palace maid had no choice but to invite Chongming over.
After Chongming calmed the queen mother down, she woke up and grabbed Chongming's sleeve, saying in panic: "She's back, she's back!"
"Who is the Queen Mother talking about?"
"Empress Rou, she is back. She wants to take me away, take me away!" The Queen Mother grabbed Chongming's sleeve tightly.
Chongming's eyes were dim. He gave the Queen Mother an injection, and the Queen Mother fell asleep again. He pulled out his sleeves and told the maid beside him, "Take good care of the Queen Mother."
The maid nodded and saluted slightly, "Yes."
After Chongming left Yixiang Palace, he secretly sent a secret letter to Li Lingxuan.
As for Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi, since they had been waiting for Pei Zhijin for a long time, they walked around the Xuan Zheng Hall. Directly behind the Xuan Zheng Hall was the direction of the Imperial Garden, and that road was planted with all kinds of famous flowers.
Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi started chatting here out of boredom.
Lin Yiyi looked at the clusters of green flowers in front of her in amazement. She looked at Jiang Xue and said, "Xue'er, look, there really are green peonies!"
Jiang Xue looked over. She didn't know much about flowers, but she felt that the clusters of flowers were beautiful and artistic under the moonlight.
Lin Yiyi bent down and lowered her head to get closer to the green peony. She closed her eyes slightly and smelled it carefully. "Mm, it smells so good."
"You have a good eye, young lady. The master in the flower room spent two years cultivating these peonies to grow just a few of them."
The sound came from the front. Lin Yiyi and Jiang Xue looked up and saw a graceful woman walking towards them in a elegant manner.
"You two, there are many varieties of flowers in this imperial garden. Would you like me to take you around?"
"You are..." Lin Yiyi asked, looking at the delicate and beautiful woman in front of her.
The woman in a pink and purple palace dress, with a pearl hairpin on her head, slightly curved eyebrows, slightly parted red lips, one hand slightly raised and slowly placed at the corner of her mouth, her every frown and smile was very comfortable to watch.
The maid behind him said sternly, "How dare you not show respect to Concubine An?"
"Cui'er, don't be rude!" Concubine An scolded softly.
Cui'er lowered her head and said nothing.
Lin Yiyi and Jiang Xue did not know how to follow the palace etiquette. They looked at each other and then performed a clumsy salute, putting their hands on their chests and bowing slightly in a very unstandard manner.
Concubine An's eyes flashed with disdain, but when the two raised their heads, the disdain in her eyes disappeared, and she smiled and said, "These two girls are so beautiful, they must be the daughters of General Jiang and Minister Lin, right?"
Jiang Xue nodded slightly, "Madam Anfei really has a good memory."
"Oh, I am also impressed by good-looking people." Concubine An adjusted her palace sleeves slightly and said with a smile: "It seems that the emperor has not yet finished discussing the business. Why don't you two come with me to the pavilion in the imperial garden and sit there, so that we can enjoy the moon?"
Jiang Xue wanted to refuse, but Lin Yiyi agreed first: "In that case, thank you, Madam An."
"Let's go." Concubine An smiled and turned around, and was supported by Cui'er beside her as she walked towards the imperial garden.
Lin Yiyi pulled Jiang Xue and said with a smile: "It's okay anyway, why don't we go sit down?"
Jiang Xue had no choice but to nod and was pulled forward by Lin Yiyi.
Su Yun, who was hiding nearby, saw Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi fall into the trap, then she turned around with a smug look on her face and left quickly.
In the royal garden.
Hundreds of flowers were in full bloom, and at night butterflies fluttered around on the flowers, dazzling Lin Yiyi with all the colors.
Jiang Xue didn't feel much about these flowers. She just sat in the pavilion and never stood up.
Concubine An enthusiastically introduced the flowers in the imperial garden to Lin Yiyi. Lin Yiyi smelled the fragrance of the flowers and felt as if she had entered a colorful flower scroll. The sea of flowers stretched endlessly and flowers of various colors were in full bloom.
Roses bloom with gorgeous flowers and emit a seductive fragrance, peonies are lush and abundant, with petals as white as snow and brilliant colors, and tulips are tall and elegant, and are not inferior even at night.
Seeing Lin Yiyi enjoying herself, Concubine An looked at Cui'er beside her. Cui'er understood and quietly retreated.
After a while, Cui'er came back with something in her hands. Concubine An looked at Lin Yiyi who was still admiring her and said, "Miss Lin, would you like to have something to drink over there?"
Lin Yiyi turned her head. After saying so much, she seemed a little thirsty, so she nodded and walked towards the pavilion with Concubine An.
Jiang Xue lay on the stone table and watched the two people come in, then raised her head and asked, "Are you done with the reward?"
Lin Yiyi happily sat next to Jiang Xue and nodded, "Xue'er, the Imperial Garden in the palace is indeed the largest garden."
Jiang Xue smiled and looked at this useless look.
After Concubine An sat down, Cui'er placed the things in her hands on the stone table one by one, including fine wine, moon cakes, and some other exquisite pastries.
Cui'er poured a glass of wine for each of them. When Lin Yiyi picked up the glass and was about to drink, she was stopped by Jiang Xue.
Then he picked up his own wine and put it under his nose to smell it. When he found nothing unusual, he looked at Lin Yiyi and said, "You can drink it."
Only then did Lin Yiyi drink the wine.
Cui Er asked unhappily, "Why? Are you afraid that our queen will poison you?"
Concubine An looked at Cui'er, her face already showing displeasure, "Cui'er, haven't you said too much today?"
Cui'er lowered her head and said, "I know I was wrong."
Concubine An then looked at Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi and said, "Miss Jiang is also cautious, I can understand."
Although Jiang Xue saw Concubine An in front of her smiling at them all the time, she felt that the smile was a little cold.
When Concubine An saw that Jiang Xue didn't touch the wine in front of her, she reminded her, "Miss Jiang, don't you want to drink?"
Jiang Xue came back to her senses, picked up the wine and drank it all.
Seeing the two of them drink the wine, Concubine An raised her lips, and then pushed the mooncake in front of them, "Try this mooncake, you two, you haven't had time to taste it at the banquet tonight, right?"
The two nodded. Lin Yiyi picked up a mooncake, gave half to Jiang Xue, and then tasted it herself. She smiled and said, "It's delicious."
"If it's delicious, please eat more. I also remembered that if the tonic I made for the emperor doesn't drink it, it will lose its effect. I'll leave you now."
After saying that, she stood up. Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi stood up and said, "Thank you for the cakes and wine, Your Majesty."
"You're welcome. If you have the opportunity to enter the palace in the future, please come and see me."
"it is good."
After watching Concubine An leave, the two sat down. Lin Yiyi poured herself a glass of wine and started drinking. "Xue'er, Concubine An seems to have a good temper."
Jiang Xue relaxed as she watched Concubine An disappear into the darkness ahead. Perhaps she was just worrying too much.
Then he answered Yiyi's question: "It looks good."
