Chapter 113: Empress Dowager

Having said that, Lu Zhengqing inspected the wound properly, tapped at the tiger's mouth, and asked Fu Tingye how he felt.
Fu Tingye replied: "No pain."
Don’t hurt you, call me at night?
Lu Zhengqing did not dare to say this, nor could he say that he took the ointment and applied a thin layer of traumatic ointment to Fu Tingye.
I’m afraid I’m afraid no one will believe that the general who galloped on the battlefield just passed the doctor at night because of this small injury?
After finishing the medicine, Lu Zhengqing packed up the medicine box and felt that he could withdraw. "The general's injury is intact.
"Lu Taiyi stayed behind," Fu Tingye said.
"I wonder what else the general has?"
Fu Tingye opened his mouth and found it difficult to speak.
In this kind of thing, I need to ask for help... But there is no way, Zhao's housekeeper is not there, and he is surrounded by rough guys. For a while, I really don't know who to ask for ideas.
Fu Tingye coughed twice and asked, "Dr Lu Taiyi and the Chinese girl seem to have very close personal relations?"
Lu Zhengqing thought for a while and then replied: "Xiaguan prefers to study some new gadgets on weekdays. Hua Hua is very interested in the greenhouse cultivation that Xiaguan has studied, so they talk very well."
She is really interested in this new type of things, and it is not uncommon to make friends with the Lu family for this reason.
Fu Tingye pondered for a while, and said: "Last accidentally I heard that Dr. Lu talked with General Hua about the general, and there were many words in the speech... Lu Taiyi knew why she didn't want to marry the general?"
Lu Zhengqing had a black line under his forehead. He called him over at night. It was for this...
"The general does not have to worry, but all women, before they become married, will have some waves in their hearts, and they will slowly recover as usual." Of course, Lu Zhengqing can't tell him the chasm of the times, he can only make things as big as possible.
Fu Tingye was not confused, and asked, "Is it true that Mrs. Zun married you before?"
"..." Lu Zheng said silently, and replied, "I have been with her for ten years and I am very familiar with each other. She and her husband knew they would marry me in the future, so... probably not like the Chinese girl."
"You mean... The Chinese girl is not familiar enough with me, so you have these concerns?" Fu Tingye seemed to find the answer.
Counting it, he and Hua Qingxue have known each other for more than half a year. Judging from the time, it is really not long...
Fu Tingye muttered to herself: "She was not like this before... Recently, she often quarreled with me, as if this general is not worthy of trust. Although this general is not a shocking talent, he can never be wronged in terms of identity and status. After her, I really can't figure out what she is worried about..."
As Luo Muyu said, he is the great hero of Qi, how come to Hua Qingxue, he was rejected?
"It is precisely because the general's identity is too honorable, and the status is too high, so the Chinese girl will be worried about it?" Lu Zhengqing intentionally hinted at him.
"You mean, she feels ashamed? She doesn't deserve me?" Fu Tingye thought this was not possible. When Hua Qingxue was arguing with him, she was very arrogant and could not see any inferiority.
He frowned and wondered: "In terms of identity, she is the emperor Feng's wife of the soldiers. She has a reward and a mansion, which is equally distinguished."
"But Mrs. Sibing is only a title, and..." Lu Zhengqing hesitated for a while and decided to pick it out directly. "And, in the eyes of those outside, the Chinese girl was the person in your account first, then the soldier. lady."
Fu Tingye suddenly realized, "You mean..."
"Xiaxiaguan bluntly said that the emperor is weak, and the wife of Sibing, who was sealed by the emperor, has some prestige among the people. Others are afraid that they are not in the eyes. General your face."
Fu Tingye didn't speak for a while, his face slowly sinking.
"You mean, the emperor...is her mother's family? The emperor is in power, can she rest assured of marrying this general?"
This realization really made him unhappy.
Fu Tingye black with a sullen face and some teeth clenched: "She still doesn't believe me, no matter how hard I try."
"There is no reason to talk about feelings..." Lu Zhengqing murmured to himself.
But Fu Tingye had good ears and looked at him sharply, "What are you talking about?"
Lu Zhengqing was startled, but Fu Tingye nodded again: "You are right, there is really no reason to speak."
If there is only one reason to say the truth, that is, whoever falls first will lose.
So far, Fu Tingye still doesn't understand how Hua Qingxue's love for him has always been restrained and maintained an extraordinary reason.
Imagine that people don't even like you wholeheartedly. Why should they trust you?
"Today's hard work Lu is too good." Fu Tingye's face was still ugly, but he could not hear the mood in his tone, but he should have calmed his emotions.
Lu Zhengqing left, and before he left, he didn't know what he thought of. He stagnate, and turned to Fu Tingye: "General, if a woman has no sense of security, she will be suspicious and delusional. Nowadays, the Chinese girl does not have any ability to protect herself."
He said nothing, bowed to Fu Tingye, and left with the bodyguard.
Fu Tingye looked deeply at Lu Zhengqing's back, and his eyes flashed a bit of complexity.
From the beginning, Hua Qingxue's attitude towards him was passive acceptance and obedience. Before, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but now he suddenly realized that hidden dangers are hidden under such obedience. Too.
...
Hua Qingxue is an engineering woman who thinks more rationally than ordinary women.
After arguing with Fu Tingye, she felt very uncomfortable, and she also dropped a few tears. At night, she was lying in bed and turned over and over. No matter what she thought, she always felt that the risk of marrying Fu Tingye was far greater than being single.
Just like entering the palace as a concubine, when you are petted, three thousand pets are in one body, and when you are not petted, you are beaten into the cold palace.
It is undeniable that she is indeed venturing for Li Jingnan’s affairs and Fu Tingye, but the disparity in the status of the two people also inevitably caused her to wake up.
But is she really not married? She obviously likes him too...Although he has a bad temper and a little feudal thought, there is no doubt... He is a good man, and a man who is good to her.
Moreover, think about Fu Tingye's overbearing character... It is impossible for her to say no.
Hua Qingxue closed her eyes distractedly and decided to find a chance to talk to Fu Tingye tomorrow.
Escape is not the way to solve the problem. No matter what she thinks in her mind, she must make it clear to him, even if...it is likely to play the piano against the cow.
...
Hua Qingxue didn't wait for this opportunity in the end, because someone came in the palace early the next morning, saying that it was the queen mother summoning her and asking her to enter the palace.
It was so sudden that Hua Qingxue was subconsciously looking for Fu Tingye. Then she realized that she could not leave this man...
Although the bodyguard had already notified Fu Tingye, the father-in-law sent by the Queen Mother was in a hurry, and Hua Qingxue only had time to put on her clothes, but failed to wait until Fu Tingye followed the father-in-law into the palace.
Hua Qingxue never entered the palace. Although Li Jingnan mentioned to bring her into the palace several times, they all mentioned it casually.
I didn't expect to enter the palace in such a sudden situation...
Hua Qingxue came to Beigongmen in a horse-drawn carriage.
I thought the carriage would go straight in, but it stopped at the door.
Oh... yes, it seems that carriages are not allowed in the palace, and I am afraid of hitting the nobles.
Hua Qingxue walked behind her father-in-law and looked around. On one side is a palace wall that looks as if there is no end, on the other side is a house, and there is no view.
Right now, in the early morning, the palace people have already gotten up. From time to time, the palace people pass by her with brooms or basins. Their footsteps are fast, but their voices are very low, and there is a kind of carefulness carved into the bone.
Hua Qingxue was taken to a courtyard with a small green area.
She looked around. Although the house was exquisite, the scale did not look like the place where the queen mother lived.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a middle-aged lady in her 40s and 50s to walk out of the house, with a serious face and an unsmiling look.
The court lady was a teaching grandma. After seeing Hua Qingxue, she paid a courtesy, and then inspected Hua Qingxue. It is said that it was a routine before seeing your noble.
Hua Qingxue didn't have the right to say no, she was a little ignorant, but fortunately there was no need to take off her clothes, so the grandmother went away.
Grandma first looks at whether her looks are correct, too ugly, I'm afraid to scare the noble, it is not allowed to enter the palace.
Then check whether her hands are clean, if not clean, you need to bathe and wash first.
Grandma would also sniff her for odors, her hair smelled, the smell was indecent, and she was not allowed to see the queen mother.
Of course, body searches are inevitable.
After doing this, it is not over.
Because next, Grandma wants to teach her court etiquette, such as how to walk, how to turn around, how to talk, how to salute when you see the queen mother, and other taboos in the palace.
Hua Qingxue repeated at least thirty times just walking, turning and returning.
In the cold autumn, she stood in the courtyard with a thin sweat on her forehead.
She didn't know if everyone who had seen the queen mother had to go through this, or... was the queen mother deliberately embarrassing her?
Early in the morning, it was called out from the bed without dawn. Even the saliva did not have time to drink, so tossing down, Hua Qingxue was tired, hungry and thirsty, and his face was slightly pale.
She looked up at the sky and unconsciously was already getting better.
It's not that she doesn't want to be lazy, but people don't care at all. Anyway, if you don't pass the action, you won't let you go. You will spend it here, and Hua Qingxue will suffer.
Finally, Grandma nodded her head and let her go to the Queen Mother's bedroom.
They bypassed countless palaces, and after passing through the palace gates, Hua Qingxue walked with soft legs and almost dizzy eyes, but looking at the palace lady in front, her back was still straight and she was walking fast, she couldn't help but think Isn't his physical fitness too bad?
People are older than her, and they have nothing to do. Why is she breathing out of breath after running 800 meters in physical education?
Finally arrived at the queen's palace.
Hua Qingxue has no mood and no energy to appreciate the beauty around her. Now she has only one thought in her mind, that is to see the queen mother quickly and then go home quickly!
