Looking at these irregular old people in the book, Su Lingxue wondered, does the queen deal with these things in the harem the same way?
Is it possible that the Queen pushed the birthday banquet to herself because of this? !
Looking at these old people, judging from their age, they should have been promoted when the Queen Mother was the Queen. Thinking of this Queen Mother who has always been very low-key, since this birthday banquet is held for the Queen Mother, why? I also have to meet the Queen Mother.
So after breakfast on the second day, Su Lingxue took the gift that Hua Ning had prepared and went to Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Along the way from Changshin Palace to the vicinity of Gyeongbokgung Palace, Su Lingxue clearly felt that it was gradually becoming deserted. When she arrived at the gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace, Su Lingxue slowly got off the chariot. When she arrived at the gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace, she even found dry grass in the corner on the right.
Is the current situation of the Queen Mother already so miserable?
Su Lingxue looked back and saw Hua Ning knocking on the door.
After a long time, the door slowly opened. It was an older palace maid who opened the door. Su Lingxue looked and found that it was Aunt Hu Ying who was beside the Queen Mother before.
When Aunt Hu Ying saw it was Su Lingxue, she was slightly startled in her eyes.
"Aunt Hu Ying, I want to meet the Queen Mother, and I would like to ask my aunt to pass the news." Su Lingxue said politely.
Hu Ying was stunned for a moment when she heard this, as if she did not expect Su Lingxue to be so polite. But she quickly responded: "Concubine Su, please wait a moment." After that, she closed the door.
Su Lingxue didn't wait long, and soon she heard footsteps coming from inside, and then the door was opened again, this time completely.
Hu Ying said with a slight smile: "Concubine Su, the Queen Mother invites you!"

When Su Lingxue walked into the door, she looked around and saw that the branches in the corner of the courtyard had dried and it was unclear whether they were grass or flowers. There was a tree in the courtyard. In the cold winter, this tree It is already bare, and there is a layer of leaves under the trees.
Seeing this, Su Lingxue felt a little strange. She looked at the palaces on the left and right. They were still very quiet. Except for Hu Ying, Su Lingxue never saw any other palace maids or eunuchs.
So Su Lingxue turned to look at Hu Ying beside her and said, "Aunt Hu Ying, are you the only one serving the Queen Mother in Gyeongbokgung Palace?"
Hearing this, Hu Ying With a somewhat embarrassed smile on his face, he said: "Before, there were palace maids and eunuchs serving them, but people were going up, so it would be hard to keep them if they were forced to stay. In this case, the Queen Mother was kind enough to let them go. "
After hearing this, Su Lingxue already understood that the queen mother might have driven them out because of their snobbery and perfunctory behavior. So she didn't ask any other questions and came to the door of the main hall. Aunt Hu Ying stepped forward and lifted the heavy curtain.
But after entering the main hall, the warm spring that Su Lingxue thought did not appear. For some reason, Su Lingxue actually felt that the room was even a bit colder than outside. Suddenly, Su Lingxue sneezed uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Hua Ning beside her quickly tightened the cloak around Su Lingxue.
At this time, the Queen Mother walked out of the inner room. Seeing this, Su Lingxue took a few steps forward and saluted politely: "My concubine, Madam Su, pay homage to the Queen Mother!"
The Queen Mother looked at Su Lingxue, who was in gorgeous clothes in front of her, and something suddenly flashed in her mind. The first time I met Su Lingxue, the Su family was very low-key at that time. Although she was favored by Pei Mochen, she was not arrogant at all and was as well-behaved as she is now. After not seeing each other for a few years, the well-behaved Su family at that time She seems to have become a noble concubine who can take charge of the harem.
The Queen Mother's expression was calm. She came to the top and sat down. She still said calmly: "Without courtesy, sit down!"
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Su Lingxue stood up. , then he came to the first chair at the bottom and sat down.
