Chapter 178 Flower Appreciation Banquet 3
After a while, Regent Chu Musheng brought the little emperor into the banquet hall.
Everyone saluted.
Chu Musheng raised his hand slightly.
"No gift."
After saying that, he took the little emperor to the seat at the top and sat down.
Chu Musheng sat down in his seat and asked Xu Ke, who was sitting next to the Empress Dowager, to come and sit next to him.
Xu Keke pretended not to see it, turned her body around and looked away proudly.
Humph, who told you to leave me behind without telling me before you left? Fortunately, I still have the Empress Dowager as my strong support.
Chu Musheng saw that she was acting like a spoiled brat again and smiled.
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.
The princess hasn't been in a bad mood for a long time, and she misses it. Anyway, I just need to go back and coax her.
The princess is very easy to coax.
The little emperor sat aside, looking a little restless. After all, he was still young, and without his mother around, he felt like he had lost his backbone.
The Empress Dowager became even more dissatisfied when she saw this.
"What's wrong with the Queen Mother? She's the one who hosted the flower viewing banquet, and she's nowhere to be seen. Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian, go to her bedroom and invite her over."
"Yes."
Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian received the order and were about to go out.
Miss Wei Shushu, the fourth daughter of the Wei family, who was sitting at the bottom seat, stood up.
"Wait."
As she spoke, she walked to the stage in front of the VIP seats where the Queen Mother and her group were seated.
"This subject greets the Grand Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Regent."
The Empress Dowager had an impression of the fourth daughter of the Wei family and knew that she was her biological sister.
It was just that she came over to pay her respects at an inappropriate time and interrupted her words.
This made the Empress Dowager extremely unhappy. She did not even excuse her from the formalities and asked in a cold voice with a frown.
"What's the matter with you?"
The Queen Mother hadn't arrived yet, which made Wei Shushu feel something was wrong.
She was worried that something had happened to the Queen Mother, so she bravely stepped forward.
Still maintaining the posture of greeting, Wei Shushu lowered her head and answered.
"Reporting to the Grand Empress Dowager, my younger brother is also coming to attend the flower viewing banquet today.
He told his servants that he was going to meet the Queen Mother to thank her for the imperial healing medicine she had given him some time ago.
She might still be in the Empress Dowager's palace. If Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian go there rashly, they might cause a collision.
Why not let me go to the Empress Dowager's palace first and then come back to report to the Grand Empress Dowager."
When the Empress Dowager heard this, her expression became even uglier.
"Humph, a mere bastard is worthy of such a big fuss. But since you said so, then let Rong Mama go with you!"
Wei Shushu's heart tightened.
Rong Mama was the Empress Dowager's trusted nanny. If she went with her, even if something really happened, it would not be hidden.
But she didn't dare to refuse at this moment, so she had to agree honestly.
"Thank you, Empress Dowager. I will go right away."
After saying that, she followed Madam Rong and hurriedly left the banquet hall and headed towards the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
Xu Keke also noticed something unusual, so she stopped being angry with Chu Musheng and turned to look at him with blinking eyes.
As if asking: "What's going on?"
Chu Musheng narrowed his eyes slightly and gave Xu Ke a look that told him to stay calm.
Xu Ke immediately became energetic.
My good prince, are you bringing me here to have some fun today?
......
Wei Shushu and Rong Mama soon arrived at the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
As soon as he arrived at the palace gate, he was stopped by Mammy Pi and others.
"The Empress Dowager is ill today and cannot see guests. Could Miss Wei Si and Madam Rong please tell the Emperor that the Empress Dowager will not be attending the flower viewing banquet?"
Wei Shushu was stunned and didn't dare to say anything.
He thought to himself, these ignorant people didn't report it earlier, otherwise the Empress Dowager would have to send someone over.
Madam Rong was fed up and pushed Madam Pi hard.
“You bold servants, why do you only have eyes for the Emperor and not the Grand Empress Dowager and the Regent?
"I came here to ask for the Empress Dowager's permission, so why are you blocking my way?"
Madam Pi staggered after being pushed by her, and seeing Madam Rong about to go in, she shouted anxiously.
"What are you doing? Why don't you stop her?"
The eunuchs and maids in the Empress Dowager's palace came up to stop Rong Mama.
Aunt Rong's eyes widened and she shouted loudly.
"You bunch of daring dogs and slaves, how dare you obstruct the will of the Grand Empress Dowager? Are you trying to save your lives?"
Mammy Pi was not to be outdone, and said with her neck stiff:
"Madame Rong, this is the Queen Mother's bedroom. No one can force their way in without the Queen Mother's order."
Seeing that the two sides were at a stalemate, Wei Shushu became more and more anxious. If this matter got out of hand, no one would benefit.
So she stepped forward and tried to persuade him.
"Madame Rong, since the Queen Mother is ill, we should return and report the truth to the Grand Empress Dowager.
The banquet is about to begin. Don't let this little thing affect the Empress Dowager's good mood."
However, at this moment, Rong Mama was not in a position to listen.
She struggled to break free from the eunuchs and palace maids who were trying to stop her, and rushed in, shouting.
"Get out of the way! I must see the Queen Mother today!"
At this moment of chaos, a man walked out of the bedroom. It was Wei Qilin, the illegitimate son of Duke Wei.
He walked out to block Aunt Rong and shouted in a timid manner.
"Stop it, young master."
Wei Qilin seemed calm at this moment, but he was actually very nervous inside, and his hands were shaking slightly under his robe.
This time, things are really bad.
Today he and Shen Qingfeng came to the palace together to attend the flower viewing banquet.
As soon as they arrived and hadn't even sat down, a palace maid from the empress dowager came to invite them, saying that the empress dowager wanted to summon them.
When they arrived at the Queen Mother's bedroom, she didn't say a few words to them.
He said he had something to discuss with Shen Qingfeng and left him in the main hall.
Wei Qilin saw with his own eyes that the Queen Mother brought Shen Qingfeng into her bedroom.
His heart skipped a beat and a bad premonition arose in his mind.
This is happening in the palace. Has the Queen Mother lost her mind?
How could she bring a man from outside into her bedroom?
Wei Qilin’s first thought was to run away quickly.
But when he thought about how much gold, silver and treasures the Queen Mother had rewarded him with these days.
It seemed unrighteous of him to run away, so he stayed.
I just hope they can talk it over and come out soon.
After waiting for a long time, neither of them came out.
He couldn't help himself and went to the door of the Queen Mother's bedroom to eavesdrop.
All that could be heard was the panting of men and women fighting fiercely.
Wei Qilin usually flirts with women and calls himself a master in the world of romance, so how could he not hear that this was...
Damn it!
Wei Qilin was hit by lightning and was burnt on the outside but tender on the inside.
He stood outside the door for a long time, stunned.
Then, I was awakened by the noise of the old women outside.
Aunt Pi obviously also knew that the Queen Mother had done something bad in the bedroom.
She exchanged glances with Wei Qilin, meaning to let him make a decision.
Wei Qilin was originally a dandy young man who was neither here nor there, and he would have been confused by now.
Seeing that Rong Mama was alone and still dared to refuse to give in, he wanted to rush into the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
We can't let her rush in. If she finds out about this, everyone will be in trouble.
Wei Qilin made up his mind and winked at the eunuch beside him.
The eunuch understood what he meant and quietly picked up a wooden stick, about to hit Rong Mama on the back of the head.
At this critical moment, the commander of the Imperial Guard, Sheng Liu, arrived with a team of people.
Sheng Liu shouted loudly.
"stop!"
Everyone was startled and stopped what they were doing.
Sheng Liu stepped forward and bowed.
"What are you all doing? Making such a commotion in the Queen Mother's chambers is outrageous!"
