The whole capital is looking forward to my Kefu

Chapter 552 Exploration ([-])

……

After Shen Junjiu followed the palace people to leave the banquet, she was led farther and farther away from the water pavilion. After walking for a while, she entered a palace, opened the door and entered, and saw the queen waiting there.

Compared with the complicated make-up and hair at the banquet before, the queen's bun was a little removed at this time, and only the phoenix hairpin was on.

The palace clothes on her body were changed, and she put on ordinary clothes, which were less luxurious, but more graceful.

"The daughter of the people sees the empress."

Shen Jun saluted respectfully.

Seeing how well-behaved she was, the queen couldn't help laughing and said: "I didn't see you perform such a grand ceremony just now, and there are no outsiders right now, so get up."

After finishing speaking, she said to her side,
"I saw that you didn't eat much before, Madam Su, go and get a cup of the bird's nest porridge that was delivered by the imperial dining room just now."

Shen Junjiu didn't dare to take the queen's favor seriously, and she also knew that the queen didn't ask her to come here to eat, so she quickly said: "No need, ma'am, women are not hungry, thank you for your kindness."

Seeing her refusal, the queen seemed to really not want to eat, so she didn't force it:
"If you don't want to eat, then forget it."

"You and the prince have known each other for a long time. I have heard the prince mention you before. You don't need to call yourself a daughter of the people. Just talk to me as an ordinary elder."

Shen Junjiu hesitated for a moment before whispering: "Yes, ma'am."

The queen looked up and down at Shen Junjiu's appearance, even though she had seen it just now, she still couldn't help but praise her beauty at this moment, no wonder even the hard-bodied king of the North could move his mind.

The queen looked at her for a while before speaking:

"Do you know why I asked you to come here?"

Shen Junjiu shook her head: "I don't know."

Queen said:

"I heard about the Dali Temple before."

"The crown prince has always acted cautiously, and has never been influenced by foreign things, but this time he actually touched the relationship of Dali Temple because of you, and even went to the Song family in person, which really makes me feel rare."

Shen Junjiu's eyes showed some panic, "Mother..."

Seeing the queen's eyes sinking slightly, Shen Junjiu quickly got up and knelt down and said,
"Your Majesty, forgive me."

"Jun Jiu was only thinking about the discord between the prince and the Song family at first, and the prince was deeply involved in the matter of the fake monk. I just wanted to join hands with the prince to get each other out of trouble, but I didn't expect that there would be something about Dali Temple in the end. I didn't expect Master Huang to be involved."

The queen looked at her, she was a little surprised by what Shen Junjiu directly admitted, but she felt more and more that the woman in front of her was a little clever.

I'm afraid that when she asked Shen Junjiu to come over just now, Shen Junjiu had already guessed that she would bring up the Dali Temple, so she simply admitted it.

The queen said to her:

"You don't have to be nervous, I don't mean to blame you."

Shen Junjiu raised her head: "Your Majesty?"

The queen made a gesture of support: "You get up first."

Shen Junjiu pursed her lips slightly and glanced at her, then stood up hesitantly, and sat in the position just now.

It's just that it's different from when she was fully seated just now. At this time, she is only half of her body leaning against the stool, her back is extremely tense, and when her lips are lightly pursed, her fingers are slightly curled up to hook her sleeves.

Even though her face was calm, all these movements showed the tension in her heart.

Seeing her appearance, the queen felt even more satisfied.

It's okay for Shen Junjiu to be smarter, and it's okay to be scheming and powerful, as long as she's not really scheming and fearless, such naive tricks are a good thing for her.
