After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 144 Collusion
The maid in the palace drew up the big red soft curtain for Concubine Shu, with a respectful expression, "Your Majesty, Madam is waiting outside."

"Please." Concubine Shu gathered her dress and sat down, her eyebrows and eyes stretched, she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly ordered her confidant, "Go and fetch the plate of lotus cake from the small kitchen."

It is the first honor for a concubine to be allowed to meet her family members.The palace maid was also full of joy, she turned around and left with brisk steps.

The servant girl who just went to invite someone to come over, "Your Majesty, Madam is here."

When Concubine Shu saw the figure behind the screen, her eyes were slightly red.She blinked twice, held back her tears, and said loudly, "Why is mother standing outside?"

After hearing this, the luxuriously dressed woman walked out slowly behind the screen, lowered her eyes, and was about to salute, "I have seen Concubine Shu, and my wife is blessed and safe."

Concubine Shu couldn't hear this, she felt uncomfortable when she saw her mother lying on the ground, and hurried forward to help her.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Rong avoided her hand and obstinately completed the ceremony, "Your Majesty, first the emperor and then the ministers, this ceremony must never be discarded." She looked solemn, and she didn't have the look of unbearable joy that she hadn't seen for a long time. .

She knew that the Rong family had always had many rules and regulations. Seeing her mother like this, she remembered the time when her mother taught her in the past.Reluctantly, he had no choice but to let go of his hand, resisting the desire to move aside.

After completing all the etiquette, Concubine Shu led Madam Rong to a chair and sat down, thinking about having some personal words with her mother later, she shunned all the palace people in the palace.

Madam Rong took a sip of tea unhurriedly before asking, "How is your empress doing?"

Concubine Shu seldom leaves home, even if the Rong family's family style is cold, it is inevitable that she is thinking about it right now.She turned her face away, took out the veil to soak away the tears, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "My daughter is not filial, and my mother is worried about it."

Only when facing someone with the same blood as her, would she dare to shed her aura and show a little bit of the attitude of a little daughter.

"Recently, my body is still healthy, and I don't have to worry about food and clothing. It's just that every night, I can't help but miss it—"

Madam Rong frowned and interrupted, "I'm not asking about your mother, I'm asking about the emperor's situation?"

She froze with a smile, "What's the matter?"

Looking at Mrs. Rong's face again, she was already a little impatient, obviously she didn't come because she was concerned about her.There was a chill in her heart, and she sneered at herself secretly.It's really been a long time since she left the Rong's mansion, even the Rong family's treatment of her is vague.

Mrs. Rong looked around and lowered her voice, "I mean the medicine that the Rong family asked the mother to bring in. Did you take it for the emperor, how many days?"

Concubine Shu's hand holding the teacup trembled, the cup fell to the ground, and smashed into the velvet blanket on the ground, the gray-white velvet blanket was deep.

She hurriedly adjusted her mood, "It's off, mother doesn't have to worry."

Mrs. Rong was suspicious, "But Mammy said she didn't see the new emperor coming to your palace, did you really do it?" This matter is related to whether the Rong family can prosper again, and should not be underestimated, so Master Rong asked to visit Shu on the pretext The concubine wanted her to enter the palace to investigate the situation.

If Concubine Shu is able to accomplish things, the Rong family will naturally still support her, if she has any doubts, she must send another daughter of the Rong family into the palace as soon as possible.

So as not to ruin that person's business.

Concubine Shu's expression was calm at the moment, "It was mixed in the soup sent to His Majesty, how could Madam know all the time." The fingertips under her sleeves were clenched white, and the long armor buttons into the wrist.

After hearing this, Madam Rong's expression softened, "That's good. I know that your mother has always been obedient."

Although Mrs. Rong is her biological mother, she has a cold personality and treats her indifferently.When mother and daughter met, it was supposed to be a happy and harmonious meeting, but there was nothing to say for a while.

Concubine Shu deliberated and said, "Mother, do you...do you have anything else to do?"

Mrs. Rong looked sideways at her.Compared with when she was young, she is indeed more neatly arranged, her hair is full of pearls and emeralds, her hair is pink and bright, no matter where she is, she is unmatched by her sisters in the family.

Madam Rong couldn't see what she was thinking about the daughter that came out of her womb, she sighed and said, "The weather has been cold recently, not like summer time, I see that the lady is wearing thin clothes, the lady should pay attention to adding clothes."

After receiving a soft word, Concubine Shu's eyes were sour, and she hummed softly while suppressing her crying.

"I'm talking to my concubine right now, so it's okay to shed tears. It's just that the empress must not do this in front of people." Madam Rong's voice sank again.

After a few gossips, Concubine Shu sent Madam Rong away.

When she returned to the palace, she had already returned to her usual expression.

She suddenly caught a glimpse of the exquisite lotus flower cakes on several tables, lowered her eyes, and ordered in a cold voice, "Turn this thing down." How much she did to make it into this plate, it was only her mother's thoughts, after all, she was not here these above.

The palace maid stayed by Concubine Shu's side for a long time, and she dared to speak, "Your Majesty, you have spent a lot of effort to make this dish, and it would be a pity to throw it away like this."

She watched the empress with her own eyes, starting from kneading the noodles, every step was only passed by Concubine Shu's hands, and she was obviously happy for a long time because it tasted good——

Concubine Shu stared intently at the big red soft curtain covering the inner room, and because of the wind coming in from the window, it was blown like water waves.

Seeing that she was silent, the maid had no choice but to come forward and take the plate of lotus cake.

Just as she was taking a step, she suddenly heard Concubine Shu ask behind her, "That Luomeixuan has been promoted, has he sent anything yet?"

The maidservant nodded in agreement.

"Put this lotus cake in a food box, and send it to Ruan Jieyu along with the jade ruyi in the palace's treasury."

When the people from Chonghua Palace delivered the things to Luomeixuan, they saw that the palace gate was closed tightly.

The wood spirit just came out, because he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty is inside, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for our young master to see people. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Hearing this, the maidservant who came to deliver the things looked at the closed palace door, thinking that the person staying inside was the new emperor whom their mothers had been looking forward to for so long, with a slightly different expression.

Ruan Yuyi in the room didn't know this.

I was just surprised that Concubine Yu Shu would bring food.The palace fought openly and secretly, and kept avoiding giving food.In case that person used it and something went wrong, there would be no way for a thousand mouths to explain it.

Jiang Huaiyang glanced at the food box, "Take it down."

"Your Majesty—" she pulled off his sleeve and stopped him.

It's not that she trusts Concubine Shu so much, it's just that she doesn't think that Concubine Shu will use such inferior means to block her way of life.

He let her pull him, looked sideways at her, and chuckled, "Is it that greedy?"

She just shook her head slightly without explaining.

"That will take some time." He took her slender waist and caressed her ears with his warm breath.

Her face was slightly pale, but she bent her lips and smiled, pretending not to understand what he meant, and then said, "Speaking of which, my concubine sent a letter to my family a few days ago, but I haven't heard back now, and I don't know if it was on the way." What went wrong."

He suddenly remembered that on the day of the Lantern Festival, the little lady was holding the Kongming Lantern, tears streaming down her face, and her heart softened for the most part.

He kissed her on the side of her neck, "Why don't you simply bring your family members to Beijing." He knew that she probably heard that Concubine Shu was allowed to summon her family members, so she said this.

He doesn't mind fulfilling the little lady's little wish, it's just a casual thing for him, like stroking a cat's head.

She smiled more genuinely, turned around and put her arms around his neck.The following actions are extremely cooperative with him.
