Chapter 335 The Queen Mother Returns to the Palace
Second day
Xie Yu, Lin Junxue, and other concubines in the harem were waiting at the palace gate.
The royal procession in the distance was very grand, with more than a thousand guards escorting them.
Lin Junxue looked at the approaching team with an indifferent look.
Xie Yu looked a little unhappy because he had indulged himself too much last night.
Of course, there are also good things in the water of Yuqing Pool that play a role.
If the Queen Mother had just returned to the palace and knew that Xie Yu had stayed in her Zhonghe Palace and had been unbridled all night, how interesting would her face be?
Finally, she was going to meet the Queen Mother, the old woman who had harmed the original owner.
When the team arrived, Xie Yu did not go to meet them. Seeing that Xie Yu did not move, the concubines could only stand where they were.
I wondered why the emperor had agreed to let the empress dowager and the eldest princess return to the palace, but today he was still so cold.
Lin Junxue stood beside Xie Yu, a model mother of the country with a dignified appearance.
Xie Yu was still upset about the eldest princess's matter, so of course his attitude towards the empress dowager was not going to be very warm.
This mother and son have had a mother-son relationship since childhood, but there is more calculation, suspicion, and hypocrisy between them.
Next second
The carriage stopped, and then a person got off. This person was Nanny Wu who served the Empress Dowager.
Nanny Wu frowned when she saw Xie Yu standing at the palace gate with no intention of going forward to greet him.
It has been more than three years. The Emperor shouldn't be at odds with the Queen Mother anymore. What happened?
Nanny Wu put away her thoughts and said a few words to the carriage. Then, a man came over and saluted.
"This old servant pays respects to His Majesty."
Xie Yu's expression became much better towards Aunt Wu.
After all, Nanny Wu watched Xie Yu grow up, and most of the time, it was Nanny Wu who coaxed the little Xie Yu to play.
The affection she showed to others was not something that an ordinary servant could match. Xie Yu even had some respect and love for Nanny Wu.
Xie Yu said, "Madam, you have had a hard time along the way."
Aunt Wu looked at Xie Yu kindly.
"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for three years. How are you? The Queen Mother misses you every day. Are you eating well and sleeping well?"
Nanny Wu's words reminded Xie Yu of the past.
His mother also cared about him and fed him medicine personally when he was sick.
Lin Junxue curled her lips. This Aunt Wu is really very skilled.
It seems that the Queen Mother was able to become the ultimate winner in this harem, probably because of Nanny Wu, who was by her side and gave her advice.
Nanny Wu looked at Xie Yusong's anxious eyes and didn't say much.
Knowing when to stop is smart
Nanny Wu looked at Lin Junxue who was standing next to her, and her attitude became even more friendly.
"May your Majesty be blessed with good health. The Queen Mother has been thinking about you for three years."
Lin Junxue looked at Nanny Wu’s friendly and kind smile.
Lin Junxue stepped forward, held Aunt Wu's hand, and showed a touched expression.
"Madam Wu, I haven't seen you for three years. Why do you look so haggard? You must have lost weight because of the hardship you lived in Yushan. Now that you are back in the palace, please don't overwork yourself. You have watched the emperor and me grow up since you were young, so please take care of yourself."
Lin Junxue is the empress, and even Nanny Wu grew up watching the emperor.
She took the initiative to shake hands with Nanny Wu, which gave Nanny Wu, the servant, the greatest face in public.
Lin Junxue's seemingly small move made Aunt Wu lose the initiative and caught her off guard.
After all, she would never have thought that the original owner's heart had changed, his personality had changed drastically, and he was so unexpected.
Nanny Wu was confused by Lin Junxue's behavior. Since when did the Queen become so good at talking? No wonder she is in favor now.
In the past, the queen was very dull, spoke little and was annoying.
I haven't seen you for three years, and now you're like this?
Moreover, she had clearly gained weight in Yushan and had not lost any weight at all.
Xie Yu looked at Nanny Wu and found that she didn't look thinner, but rather a little fatter.
It seems that my mother and Nanny Wu are having a good time during their time worshipping Buddha at Yushan.
If you really worship Buddha sincerely and eat vegetarian food every day, how come you get fat instead of thin?
Thinking of this, Xie Yu's eyes turned cold again.
Nanny Wu looked at Xie Yu's cold expression, smiling with her lips but not her heart, and could only swallow her anger.
Aunt Wu could only change the subject
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, the Queen Mother and the Princess are still in the carriage. Should we ask the Queen Mother to get off first? She has been in poor health after such a bumpy ride.
Everyone knew what Nanny Wu meant and looked at Xie Yu.
Xie Yu's gaze fell on the luxurious carriage in the distance, which was dark and deep, but did not move.
The queen mother was still so strong-willed and insisted that he go forward to receive it.
He just wants this face, if it were in the past, he would give it.
But today, he thought about his mother going to Yushan and indulging the eldest princess in her extravagance and debauchery, and he didn't want to give his mother this face.
Nanny Wu saw that even after she said this, the emperor still had no intention of moving.
There must be something wrong. She has watched the emperor grow up since he was a child, so she knows his character.
Logically, since I have said so myself, this shouldn't happen.
Aunt Wu was about to speak again
Lin Junxue suddenly said, "Madame Wu, it's just right. I haven't seen my mother for more than three years. I should go forward and welcome her back to the palace."
Xie Yu turned to look at Lin Junxue, feeling relieved.
Jun'er always thinks about him and understands his heart the best.
Lin Junxue smiled at Xie Yu, warm as the wind
Nanny Wu had no choice but to settle for the next best thing.
If this drags on, and the Emperor doesn't go to greet the Queen Mother and the Princess, it will be the Queen Mother who will be embarrassed.
Now that the fool Queen is willing to stand up, it seems that she was overthinking just now.
The Queen is still the same Queen, and she still trusts the Queen Mother as always.
Madam Wu said, "Your Majesty, please follow me."
Xie Yu nodded and said in a deep voice, "Since Jun'er misses his mother, go ahead."
Lin Junxue said, "Then I will welcome the Queen Mother back to the palace on behalf of the Emperor."
Lin Junxue followed Nanny Wu, braving the gazes of Xie Yu and everyone else behind her, and walked towards the Empress Dowager's carriage step by step.
With each step, the original owner was hurt and trampled upon.
When she got to the front, Lin Junxue bent slightly and spoke in a clear voice, like the sound of nature.
"Your Majesty welcomes my mother back to the palace."
for a while
The carriage was silent.
Nanny Wu secretly thought that the Queen Mother was still embarrassed to face the Queen at this time, and it was not right to do so at this time, as it would only make the Emperor more dissatisfied.
Lin Junxue lowered her eyes, looked calm, and waited with her head bowed.
Behind him, Xie Yu's eyes were filled with anger and distress, and he was obviously dissatisfied.
A good while
carriage
The Queen Mother's voice came from inside
"It's the Queen."
Everyone knows this is a knowing question.
As soon as the Queen Mother returned to the palace, she embarrassed the Queen in public.
The Queen is no longer the powerless and unfavored Queen who was there when the Queen Mother left the capital. Now, can she still bear this kind of humiliation?
Lin Junxue stood up and faced the carriage
"Mother, it's you, my concubine. You've been through a long journey, I'm so tired, please get off the carriage."
Lin Junxue doesn't mind keeping her attitude to the lowest level.
Because, the lower she puts herself, the more Xie Yu will feel sorry for her.
Xie Yu would only become more dissatisfied with the Queen Mother as soon as she returned to the palace, and he would target her as the Queen.
