Chapter 291 Hundreds of Flowers Bloom in the Imperial Garden

"To report to the Queen, I don't think I have anything to do with Duke Xingguo. Mrs. Xingguo has always been gentle and appreciates my daughter. She should not want to harm my daughter!"

Qin Wanru said generously.

The Queen was silent for a while after saying this, and her eyes fell on Qin Wanru's face with a bit of coldness, as if she wanted to see clearly whether Qin Wanru was telling the truth or a lie.

After a while, the Queen slowly said: "Since you have no grudge against this young lady from the Wang family, why would this young lady from the Wang family plot against you? The only person related to you two is Mrs. Xingguo. !”

These words were quite gentle, even with a little smile, but Qin Wanru had a bad feeling in her heart. The meaning behind the empress's deliberate attraction to Mrs. Xingguo was not simple.

Did the Queen deliberately want her to tell that Mrs. Xingguo was interested in dealing with her? As Mrs. Xingguo, what can I do now? Moreover, even if this matter is evidence to Wang Yishu, to Mrs. Xingguo it is just a guess, and it is still a guess that cannot be said.

If I dare to say to the Empress today that this matter is related to Mrs. Xingguo, the next step will definitely not be a good thing! There were some things that she was not sensitive to in her previous life, but she was particularly sensitive in this life!

"Report to the Queen, I really don't know!" Qin Wanru fluttered her long eyelashes twice and replied respectfully. This answer was quite satisfactory and not biased at all.

"Do you really not know, or do you dare not say it?" The Queen smiled, her voice becoming gentler.

Qin Wanru's heart slowly rose. The meaning of the Queen's words was difficult to answer. What does "I don't know" mean and what does "dare not dare" mean? Even if this kind of statement is just a sound, in front of the Queen and so many young ladies from aristocratic families, if you only give a slightly wrong answer, endless trouble will follow.

She can deal with Duke Xingguo's wife, but not at this time, not to mention the Queen's strong intervention at this time.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know!" Qin Wanru replied slowly. She knew very well that if she didn't care at this time, she would be doomed. The Queen's purpose slowly appeared in Qin's eyes as she asked again and again. Wan Ru's mind.

"Mother, let's go!" A man's gloomy voice came from beside the Queen. Qin Wanru argued carefully. This voice was clearly the voice of King Zhou that he had heard in the Imperial Hospital before. His heart suddenly moved. King Zhou was galloping. Has the matter been investigated? It looks like nothing was found?

I thought that King Zhou might not appear again today, but I didn't expect that he would enter the palace again so soon!

"I will inquire about your matter clearly. Now step aside!" Seeing that nothing could be asked and her son's face was gloomy, the Empress no longer wanted to get entangled with Qin Wanru and waved her hand to signal her. Back off.

"Yes!" Qin Wanru stood up and stood aside, waiting for the Queen's Luan to drive over with the other ladies. There was a large garden in front of it, facing the flower bed in the middle. The Queen did not enter the garden half surrounded by the flower bed. tent and led a group of people into the garden.

After the Empress left, everyone relaxed and exhaled softly one by one. Many ladies knew exactly what they came to the palace for today. Someone had just secretly looked at the King of Zhou and discovered that this His Royal Highness, King Zhou, was so heroic that he became even more excited.

Among the three princes, King Yue, King Zhou and King Xin, if we say who is most likely to inherit the throne in the future, it seems that no one else can be found except this King Zhou. After all, this King Zhou is the legitimate son and the only one. The legitimate son, with such a status, even King Yue is very outstanding, and he is still tall, so most people still focus on this King of Zhou.

If she can marry the King of Zhou as his concubine, she may have the status of a queen in the future. Such an status is enough to make most of the ladies present feel unusually passionate about the King of Zhou.

The purpose of entering the palace today was the King of Zhou. Many young ladies even thought that if they could not be the main concubine, even if they were concubines or concubines, it would be better than marrying those princes.

Of course, some people think that King Yue has a good chance. After all, King Yue is the eldest son, and his mother's family is not weak. There are some people who have no ambitions. They think that marrying King Xin is not a bad idea. At least the wealth will last forever. From now on, he will be a rich and idle king. , no matter whether King Yue or King Zhou ascends the throne in the future, he will not do anything to a younger brother who is not a threat.

Thinking about it this way, King Xin is also a good opportunity.

The ladies from the aristocratic families at the meeting were all waiting to see this prince. As for King Chen, that was not within the scope of their consideration. Everyone knew that King Chen would not live long, and with such an identity that was neither embarrassing nor embarrassing, even if he had So what about the Queen Mother's favor? I don't know when it will disappear. No one wants to be a widow, and it is possible to remain a widow before marrying.

Moreover, with his status, even if he lives a few more years, it will not be good for the family or himself.

Almost all the ladies thought so, so as soon as the Queen left, the ladies started talking shyly about the three princes in small groups.

Although some people didn't talk about it, their faces turned red when they heard it. As for what happened to Qin Wanru before, it was just a small episode.

Qin Wanru herself was not well-known, she was just a young lady from an aristocratic family who had just arrived in the capital. Qin Huaiyong's official status barely allowed his daughter to attend the banquet, and Wang Yishu was not in the upper class and was not really a lady from the Xingguo Duke's Palace. Although everyone was I think this matter has something to do with Duke Xingguo's wife, but after all, Qin Wanru didn't identify her as Mrs. Xingguo just now.

For these ladies, the most important thing now is not Qin Wanru's affairs, but their own affairs.

The banquet had not officially started yet, and the Queen did not come out again after entering the garden. Even though everyone was curious, they did not dare to go to the garden. They just stood in twos and threes on the road outside the tent, talking and wandering.

Not many people entered the tent!

His Royal Highness King Zhou has just arrived, and King Yue and King Xin will come soon. If anyone is in the tent, they will see it. Everyone naturally walked out of the tent. Even though it was a bit cold outside, everyone was happy and in high spirits.

Some of them deliberately stood in the wind, and the wind fluttered their clothes, adding a bit of dreamlike beauty to her.

Qin Wanru stood calmly in the crowd and did not enter the tent conspicuously. Since everyone was standing outside the tent now, of course she also stood with them.

Her clothes were particularly outstanding. The outer layer of light gauze also made her skirt flutter, making her a little more fairy-like than other ladies. It made people feel that she was as beautiful as jade, even though she was still young. How many people can compare with such a look.

Some were jealous, envious, and ridiculed. All kinds of eyes fell on Qin Wanru, but no one came forward to talk to her. They were all smart people. What happened to Wang Yishu just now was clearly related to Duke Xingguo. The madam has connections. Qin Wanru has no chance against Mrs. Xingguo Gong.

No one wants to arouse the disgust of Mrs. Xingguo for Qin Wanru.

Even though everyone didn't say it, they felt in their hearts that Qin Wanru must have offended Mrs. Xingguo somewhere, so Mrs. Xingguo would treat her like this!

"Like a sister!" A surprised voice suddenly appeared in Qin Wanru's ears. Qin Wanru looked up and saw Yan Xulan coming from the front with a happy face.

She arrived late and just now. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Qin Wanru in the crowd and immediately greeted Qin Wanru with a smile.

"Sister Yan!" Qin Wanru smiled and bowed.

Yan Xulan reached out and pulled her, looked around and said, "Isn't it still early? It's still early, let's go for a walk together!"

"Okay!" Qin Wanru nodded.

The two of them walked casually down the path hand in hand. At a place where neither of them noticed, several pairs of malicious eyes glanced at them. Someone glanced at them coldly, someone snorted coldly, and someone else After whispering a few words to the maid next to her, the maid turned around and ran out while no one was paying attention.

Everyone acted calmly, as if this was the most natural thing! Even the maid who ran out to deliver the letter disappeared into the crowd!

The crowd suddenly became commotion again. Some people were saying that King Yue is coming, King Yue is coming!

A large group of ladies from aristocratic families stood there more and more gracefully, looking away shyly.

In the opposite direction from where Qin Wanru left, two handsome princes were coming here together. Along with them were several noble ladies with unusual status. The group of people looked slowly in the eyes of many young ladies who were either jealous or envious. He walked over slowly, and then entered the garden where the queen went.

Although Qin Wanru and Yan Xulan also heard the noise, they did not want to join in the fun, so they continued towards the winding path.

On both sides of the path, pots of delicate and enchanting flowers bloomed in full bloom in front of the hall. From time to time, the two of them stood still and admired them.

This is the time when the plum blossoms are in full bloom, and it is indeed a joy to see such different colors!

"Did something happen just now?" Yan Xulan turned her head and asked after she was far away from everyone.

"It's okay, it's just some trivial matters!" Qin Wanru shook her head and said with a smile, she didn't want Yan Xulan to be involved in what happened just now.

"Is there anything you need my help with?" Yan Xulan asked.

Qin Wanru shook her hand, "You don't have to worry about this!"

"That Wang Yishu is not usually such a person, how could he do such a thing!" Yan Xulan said in confusion. She was not ignorant. There were many people who came here to discuss this matter, and she had already heard some of it. , the general meaning of the matter is already clear.

Seeing Yan Xulan's confused and worried eyes, Qin Wanru's heart warmed up, and she held Yan Xulan's hand with her backhand and said with a smile: "This happened in the palace, Wang Yishu can't rely on it even if he wants to!"

"I heard that she was sent to the imperial doctor?" Yan Xulan frowned and said, "I don't know what the Queen is thinking. Such a person deserves to die. Is it possible that she still needs to..."

When she said this, Qin Wanru immediately reached out and covered her, gently shook her head at her, and whispered: "Sister Yan, please be careful what you say!"
