Chapter 182

Empress Xu was in control of the six palaces, and every move in the palace could not be hidden from her ears

Knowing that Ling Jingshu had entered the palace was not strange

The strange thing was, why would Empress Xu have the pleasure of summoning Ling Jingshu?

Wei Jieyu frowned a little, but she couldn’t refuse, so she smiled at Ling Jingshu and said, “Miss Ling, the Empress wants to see you in person

This is a great honor and decency, after you leave the palace this time, you will be famous in the capital”

Whether one was willing or not, Empress Xu’s summons was something that could not be refused

Moreover, one must not show the slightest bit of displeasure

Ling Jingshu duly revealed a flattered yet uneasy look, “I really didn’t think that I would have the good fortune to have an audience with Empress Xu

I’m not a person, and I don’t know the rules of the palace, I’m afraid I’ll bump into the Empress ” Wei Jieyu smiled and said, “The Empress is kind, you don’t have to be nervous”

After a pause, she added: “I happen to have nothing to do, so I happen to lead you to the Pepper Room Hall”

Ling Jingshu had saved An Ya, and she was the one who summoned her to the palace

She could not bear to let Ling Jingshu face Empress Xu alone

Who knew what Empress Xu had in mind?

The gratitude in Ling Jingshu’s eyes was by no means fake, “Thank you, ma’am Jiyu”

Wei Jieyu smiled, “It’s a small matter, nothing to worry about

You come with me!”

After saying that, she turned around and went ahead

Ling Jingshu answered

Just at this moment, Eunuch Wei suddenly whispered, “Miss Ling, when you go to the Pepper Room Hall this time, you have to be more careful”

The voice was suppressed so low that it only reached her ears

Ling Jingshu was startled and quickly raised her eyes to look over

Imperial Doctor Wei’s complexion was tight, his brows slightly furrowed, and his gaze was even more complex and indescribable

Why was his complexion so grave?

! Could it be that this time, Empress Xu summoning her was not that simple, and that there was something else going on?

What danger might she be in on this trip?

Ling Jingshu’s mind was sharp, and a series of thoughts flashed swiftly through her mind

However

It was inconvenient to get to the bottom of it at this momentI know”

Ling Jingshu took a deep breath and answered briefly before turning to leave

Eunuch Wei looked at Ling Jingshu’s slender figure that was fading away, gloom and annoyance flashed in his eyes, his thin lips pursed extremely tightly

Princess Anya was lying on the bed, unable to see Imperial Doctor Wei’s expression at this moment, but could detect that his mood was not wonderful

Couldn’t help but whisper, “Uncle

Are you not in a good mood?”

Imperial Doctor Wei turned around and squeezed out a smile, “Nothing, don’t think nonsense

I’m just worried for Miss Ling

This is her first time in the palace, and she can’t help but be a little nervous about meeting the Empress

If something goes wrong, it’s always bad”

Princess Anya was simple-minded and her attention was easily diverted, “Miss Ling is so smart and clever

There will be no mistakes

Besides, didn’t Mother Consort accompany her to the Pepper Room Hall?

Even if there are occasionally some mistakes

For the sake of Mother Consort’s face, Empress Mother won’t blame her”

I hope so!

Imperial Doctor Wei tugged at the corners of his lips, but the annoyance in his heart continued unabated

Ling Jingshu’s mood at this time was equally complex and subtle

In her previous life, it was this Empress Xu who had taken her life with a secret decree

In this life

She had gone to great lengths to come to the capital, and the road to revenge was far away

However, it was finally time to see the enemy of her past life with her own eyes

Eunuch Wei’s low, inaudible admonition and extremely complicated gaze flashed through her mind again

Ling Jingshu’s mood was in turmoil

For a moment, she could not figure out the reason for this, and secretly urged herself: be careful!

You can hold the harem

To be able to control the harem and help her own son succeed the throne, this Empress Xu is by no means a good person

Wei Jieyu’s Lingbo Hall is not far from the Pepper Room Hall, and soon arrived

Taking advantage of the palace maid’s free time to go in and report, Wei Jieyu whispered, “When you see the Empress, you don’t need to panic, so as not to mess up your hands and feet

If you encounter something you can’t handle, don’t say anything and leave everything to me”

Ling Jingshu’s heart was filled with gratitude and she nodded her head in response

Soon, a palace maid invited Wei Jieyu and Ling Jingshu into the Pepper Room Hall

Compared to the delicate and elegant Ling Bo Hall, the Pepper Room Hall where the Empress resided was much more spacious and luxurious

The main hall could accommodate nearly a hundred people

Ling Jingshu stepped over the high threshold, hung her head and followed behind Wei Jieyu, entering the main hall with a fine and elegant step

Without raising her head, she could also notice that there were quite a few gazes falling on her body

In these gazes, there were curiosity, curiosity, and also critical displeasure

The two sharpest gazes were coming from Empress Xu, who was seated on the phoenix chairMy concubine, Wei, greets the Empress”

Wei Jieyu performed the scopolamine saluteMy daughter, Ling Jingshu, meet Empress Mother”

Ling Jingshu, however, knelt down squarely and performed the kowtow salute

A woman’s voice leisurely came, “All rise!

Someone come, give Wei a seat”

In this Pepper Room Hall, Wei Jieyu had the qualification to sit down, Ling Jingshu naturally could only stand

Empress Xu’s voice was still pleasing to the ear, and her tone carried the majesty that only a superior would have

Wei Jieyu thanked her for the favor and sat down on a chair to the side

Ling Jingshu also thanked her for the favor and got up, not looking up, and retreated to stand at Wei Jieyu’s side

Empress Xu casually laughed: “This is a girl who understands the rules and knows how to advance and retreat”

Wei Jieyu smiled and responded, “It is also her good fortune to receive a compliment from Empress Xu”

Several concubines sitting on the side also laughed and chimed in

Empress Xu was used to hearing the words of greeting from the crowd, and smiled carelessly as she sized up Ling Jingshu

The young girl was slim, well-dressed, and stood in an elegant manner, which made people look at her and feel good about her

It was just that she kept her head hung down, so she couldn’t see how she lookedRaise your head, let this palace take a closer look”

Empress Xu opened her mouth to command

Ling Jingshu answered yes and raised her head

The crowd only felt their eyes light up

There was never a shortage of beauties in the palace, with all sorts of flavors

Even though the concubines here were not as good as Wei Jieyu, they were all beauties with their own characteristics

That is, there is no lack of beauty in the palace maid

However, in the past few years, the emperor is very rarely involved in the harem, the palace concubines are no new young beauties, most of the present is not young

Even if again carefully dressed, also can not hide the sadness of the gradual aging of the years

The young girl in front of me is undoubtedly extremely beautiful

More enviable, is the bright youth

No need to dress up too much, but also still beautiful and eye-catching

Empress Xu was also slightly surprised and surprised, and immediately poked fun at Wei Jieyu: “Wei, you have always been known as the first beauty in the palace

Today, this Ms Ling is no less beautiful when she stands beside you”

Wei Jieyu smiled and said, “My concubine is a willow, how dare I deserve the reputation of the first beauty

Your Highness, don’t make fun of my concubine

This Miss Ling, is the age of youth, I also feel like looking at my heart”
