After the replacement of the delicate imperial concubine, my emperor will never come to court again

Chapter 77 A chance encounter
  The Queen Mother's happy mood today also seemed to be gone.

However, Concubine Shu still greeted her actively. After dinner, the concubines gathered together to drink tea and chat.

The Empress Dowager was holding the pillow alone, while the two palace maids were pushing her legs. She had closed her eyes while the concubines were talking.

Ren Qianyu knew that all the concubines wanted to leave, but Concubine Shu alone stopped them all and no one dared to be the first to ask to leave.

She then slowly stood up and walked into the aisle, rubbing her belly with one hand and saluting: "The Queen Mother, according to the imperial doctor's instructions, I have to go out for a walk and exercise as usual. I have to take leave now."

The Queen Mother seemed to be asleep, but she woke up again when she heard Ren Qianyu's words. She opened her eyes and looked at Ren Qianyu, and nodded in agreement with a loving expression: "Okay, walk slowly, don't fall, but you have brought someone with you." ?”

The people following Ren Qianyu immediately came forward and knelt down to salute. The Queen Mother took a look and saw that there were four people in total and felt relieved. She nodded again and closed her eyes: "Then you go."

When the concubines saw the noble concubine getting up and knew that she was leaving, they all became restless.

But after hearing her excuse, they all shrank.

Who allowed the imperial concubine to be the only one in the harem to be pregnant?

Everyone felt aggrieved, but they had to accompany the Queen Mother to continue talking.

Today's protagonist Qinglian, on the other hand, said she felt sleepy while eating, and the Queen Mother hurriedly asked her to rest.

How could Qinglian be sleepy?

He walked out of the apse and went to play by himself.

She walked leisurely, looking for the direction of the royal study.

Although it was the first time she entered the palace, the huge palace city was like a maze to her, but she was keenly aware that she could find the direction just by looking at the guards on the roadside.

There are always patrol teams patrolling the palace city, but there are also rules. The closer to the center, the greater the density of patrol teams.

Qinglian was not worried and walked leisurely in the palace, like a lively little white cat basking in the sun, not in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, she walked to the corridor and found a garden in the distance. She was interested and walked towards it.

There seemed to be few people taking care of the garden. The purple and blue sunsets climbed up along the low wall and then climbed down from behind the wall to the ground. The vines stretched all the way and the whole garden was filled with flowers.

Qinglian stood in front of the low wall and realized that this was a good place for a secret meeting. She immediately walked cautiously and lightly to the wall to eavesdrop.

"who is it?"

Hearing the cold voice of a man, Qinglian didn't panic. She reached out and picked off a blue sunset flower in her hand without even turning around. She just looked sideways.

Qinglian originally thought he was a guard, but she didn't expect him to be a handsome man with a white umbrella and a gentle face.

She blinked her almond-shaped eyes and looked at the man's clothes along his face.

Although this man is dressed in white, there are hidden flowers on the silk, which is obviously not ordinary white clothes.

Qinglian had just come up from her hometown of Yangzhou. She didn't know many people in the palace and couldn't guess who this man was.

But she was also very lawless in her hometown. No matter who this person was, she would stare at it without scruples. Anyway, she knew in her heart that no one would blame the cute girl.

When Shen Hebei saw Qinglian just staring at him without answering the question, he asked again: "Who are you?"

Qinglian then smiled and turned Xiyan in her hand, jumped up and stood directly in front of Shen Hebei: "I am Princess Qinglian, who are you?"

Shen Hebei had never seen such a wild woman, so he looked at her carefully.

Seeing that she seemed to be a lively and generous woman at first glance, Shen Hebei actually saw a hidden palace from the depths of her eyes.

"I am Shen Hebei."

Qinglian knew he was the prince as soon as she heard the name. Shen Hebei's name was the first one I heard everywhere when I came to the capital.

That day when she went shopping with her wet nurse, she heard the words Shen Hebei not only five times, but also from the mouths of young people, old people, and more naturally from women.

It seems that Shen Hebei is the most pure, respectful and kind-hearted young man in the world.

Qinglian knew in her heart at that time that there was no such perfect person in the world, but she was just pretending to be like herself.

At this moment, when he saw Shen Hebei standing in front of him, he was as gentle as jade, gentle and approachable.

Qing Lian rolled her eyes and Zhou Zhuo nose said, "Shen Hebei, I really want to hear about it."

Shen Hebei smiled slightly, turned the white umbrella in his hand, and walked away. As he walked, he said without looking back: "Princess Qinglian, I have never heard of it."

Qinglian jumped up and said angrily: "I am the Queen Mother who has entered the palace. Your Majesty has made me the princess today!"

Shen Hebei didn't stop. He turned around with a smile as he walked. He smiled at Qinglian under the umbrella and said, "Then you should call me brother."

Qinglian was a little panicked. When she came to her senses, she found that both the white umbrella and the man in white were gone.

She immediately ran out and went up the corridor, but did not see Shen Hebei. She felt a little disappointed and did not want to go to the imperial study room, so she turned back.

The people on the tree high on the low wall saw Qinglian walking away, so they jumped down from the tree and ran in the opposite direction.

Shen Hebei, who quickly put away the white umbrella, turned it out again.

"Is Ren Yuhuan here?"

"My lord, not yet."

Shen Hebei frowned slightly and said with some worry: "Really? Then wait a little longer."

The subordinate looked at the sky and asked the prince carefully: "Your Majesty, you have to go see the Queen Mother later. It's already late. I'm afraid it won't be good if you don't go."

Shen Hebei knew there was nothing he could do, so he could only say, "Leave one person waiting. I'll be back as soon as I go."

"The Queen Mother, the prince is here."

When the concubines heard that the prince was coming, they all scrambled to get up and go around to the back hall. Some of the bolder ones hid behind the screen to catch a glimpse of the prince.

When the drowsy Queen Mother heard that the prince was coming, she felt happy and immediately opened her eyes and looked over with squinted eyes.

Shen Hebei, dressed in white, was found standing in the hall, saluting.

"It's too late for you. Tell me, how should I punish you?"

Hearing this, Shen Hebei smiled and said, "My mother is really cruel. She didn't call me when she held any banquets before. I finally called my son, but my son can't go and prepare gifts to his heart's content?"

"You hozen, do you mean you're late because you prepared a gift for me?"

The Queen Mother sat up and leaned on the soft cushion, calling Shen Hebei to come forward.

Shen Hebei personally held a wooden carved box and presented it to him.

The Queen Mother opened it and took a look. Inside was a clear white jade carved Guanyin Bodhisattva. The wonderful thing is that the various parts of the Bodhisattva's clothes naturally have their own colors.

But these colors are not eye-catching. If you look closely, they are still clear and uniform white jade.

The Queen Mother liked it as soon as she saw it. She quickly ordered someone to pick it up and look at it. She knocked it carefully and said happily: "For the sake of you enjoying it so much, the Queen Mother will forgive you this time!"
