Chapter 358 The Queen invites you
It’s lunch time. Even though the foreign missions have left the palace, the officials in the palace still have the opportunity to eat food from the imperial kitchen in the palace. Not often.
The New Year celebration banquet with the king, the Luming Banquet for new imperial examination candidates, the Qionglin Banquet for new imperial examination candidates, etc.
No matter what kind of palace banquet it is, it is an honor for officials who can participate in the palace banquet, which reflects the political status and identity of the official.
However, for Hong Xiaoduo and Kaiyang, a senior and a junior, it is not a very happy thing because they are uncomfortable.
In fact, it's not impossible for the two of them to eat casually as usual, but after all, things are different now.
Kaiyang reminded himself in his heart that he should eat properly. He was not afraid of others ridiculing him for not eating or sitting, but he did mind that others would say that his mother did not teach him well.
Moreover, I don’t want others to laugh at my grandfather and father.
Hong Xiaoduo actually had the same idea.
She also knew what Kaiyang was thinking. She was very relieved and distressed at the same time. If this child did not return to the Wei Mansion but followed her all the time, she was not sure what he would be like when he grew up, but in childhood You will definitely be happier when you are free and unrestrained!
"Don't be too restrained later. You are a child anyway, and important ministers like them shouldn't laugh at you so rudely." While waiting for the meal, Hong Xiaoduo whispered to Kaiyang.
Kai Yanggang nodded and saw a eunuch saying something to Eunuch Fu at the door of the palace. After hearing this, Eunuch Fu turned around and looked towards him and Hong Xiaoduo. Then, Eunuch Fu returned. The emperor said something to his side, and the emperor also looked over.
"Ms. Hong, the queen has sent someone to invite you to have lunch at Fengyi Palace. Go." The emperor smiled and said to Hong Xiaoduo.
Queen? The adults in the palace all looked at the emperor. Empress Gao left the cold palace. The emperor also ordered Si Tianjian to choose an auspicious day to restore the empress' status as empress. The auspicious day has been chosen, it will be September 16th half a month later. .
However, she was originally a queen, and she was framed and wronged. Now that the truth has been found out, even if she has not been officially restored to her position as empress, it doesn't matter if the emperor calls her empress now. Inappropriate.
Besides, even if there is something wrong, who here would dare to stand up and correct it?
Those who react quickly will understand what’s going on. Why did the Queen invite Hong Xiaoduo to have lunch with Fengyi Palace? If it weren’t for this little lady Hong, the Queen would still be there at this time. Staying in the cold palace, even if the poisoning is discovered, it may be too late to save him.
If you put it this way, this young lady Hong can be regarded as the queen’s benefactor.
At this time, Hong Xiaoduo looked at Kaiyang hesitantly. Before she could speak, the emperor said again: "Take Wei Kaiyang with you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." As soon as Hong Xiaoduo heard that he could take Kaiyang there, he immediately thanked him cheerfully and asked Kaiyang to leave with the people from Fengyi Palace.
Looking at the two figures walking outside the palace gate, the emperor murmured in his heart that he had never seen people in the world before, but she was the only one who did not regard himself as an emperor.
I thanked Your Majesty just now. Huh, if he didn’t take the initiative to let Kaiyang come with him, she would have mentioned it. If he didn’t agree to her, the emperor felt that she would reject the queen’s affection. She can definitely do it!
The emperor himself didn’t know why, but he knew it anyway!
The person who came to invite someone was Eunuch Kang from the Queen's Palace. He seemed to be in his thirties.
Because Hong Xiaoduo refused to ride in the sedan brought by Eunuch Kang, the reason was that he could enjoy the good scenery in the palace by walking there. Eunuch Kang introduced him along the way and also said that the scenery in the garden of Fengyi Palace was better. Hong Xiaoduo said she was enjoying the scenery along the way, but her pace was not as slow as appreciating the scenery. Even if Queen Yu was kind and not afraid of her identity, she would not just stroll around and admire the scenery. Let the queen wait, her brain is not broken.
"The one next to Your Majesty is called Eunuch Fu, and you are called Eunuch Kang. Are there also Eunuchs An and Shou?" Hong Xiaoduo asked jokingly.
Eunuch Kang then smiled and said: "Little lady Huihong, there is indeed Eunuch An, who is serving the Queen Mother, and Eunuch Shou, as far as the Sa family knows, there is no Eunuch An."
Just joking. While laughing, we arrived at Fengyi Palace. As we approached, we met more palace maids along the way.
"Mother, Miss Hong and Wei Kaiyang, the grandson of Wei Shangshu, have arrived." Eunuch Kang announced outside the palace gate.
Hong Xiaoduo couldn't help but guess in her mind, could she hear the Queen saying to let in? A palace maid or an internal prisoner would come out and welcome her and Kaiyang inside.
As a result, the next moment, a noble yet gentle woman walked out, followed closely by the palace maid and nanny.
“People’s daughter Hong Xiaoduo has met the Queen and wishes the Queen a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years.” Hong Xiaoduo saluted Empress Gao with cupped fists.
“Wei Kaiyang, a common man, met the Queen and wished her a thousand years and a thousand years.” Kaiyang followed suit.
Queen Gao looked at the big one and the small one in front of her, and her eyes fell back on Hong Xiaoduo: "You are the Hong Xiaoduo who saved me. My benefactor is above, and I will accept my kindness." Bye.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the queen picked up the hem of her skirt and started to kneel down.
Fortunately, Hong Xiaoduo reacted quickly enough and stretched out his hands to stop her: "Queen, please don't do this, a common girl can't bear it." She said she was bowing, so why did she kneel down?
"If it weren't for you, I would still be in the cold palace now, still covered in dirty water. Maybe I would have died from the poison. Why can't I bear it anymore." The queen said, her eyes turning red. got up.
After seven years in the cold palace, she has slowly gone from the initial expectations to despair and waiting for death!
She was unwilling to give in, but time slowly passed away her, from the beginning with expectations, to the later disappointment, numbness and waiting for death!
Unexpectedly, her life should not have been cut off, but she was taken out of the cold palace by the emperor without any warning. The truth of that year was also found out. It was only then that she realized that she had given birth to a prince, not a princess. .
All of this is because of this girl in front of me.
"Queen, don't be sad. The worst days are over, and there will be good days in the future. Moreover, I also received the reward from the emperor. So, queen, don't feel that you owe me anything. Favor." Hong Xiaoduo comforted the agitated queen.
"Mother, please go in and talk, it's windy outside." Eunuch Kang also quickly advised.
Eunuch Kang actually hinted to the queen that she is outside, if you have anything to say, go in and chat slowly!
"Yes, Queen, let's go in and talk. When will the food be served? On the way here, we were still guessing and didn't know what good food the Queen had cooked here." Hong Xiaoduo joked, deliberately making the atmosphere A little more relaxed...
