Chapter 038 The man who makes a fuss
Office of the Interior?
The Office of the Interior is a special institution in charge of palace affairs. Such as royal daily meals, service, storage, and even guarding entourages are managed and responsible by the Minister of the Office of the Interior.
Logically speaking, the matter of changing the incense should also be handled by the Office of the Internal Affairs. However, because of her noble status, the items purchased by the Queen have never been allowed to be selected by the Queen himself. They have always been in charge of the Office of the Internal Affairs and sent someone to her Fengyi Palace in person.
As if he saw the suspicion on Su Wanrong's face, the leading guard quickly smiled and said:
"The Empress is not aware of something. In this Interior Office, there is an old lady named Zhao who has a good understanding of the incense items that the Empress loves to use. Today, she originally wanted to bring the nanny to explain the effects and usage of various incense to the Empress, but unfortunately she took Madam Zhao to serve as a job. We are all rough people, so we naturally don't understand these, so we can only let the Empress go there in person."
The meaning is that this old lady who is quite familiar with incense has no time to get out of work on her turn, so she has to bother the Empress to go to the Interior Office by herself.
As soon as the head guard finished speaking, Su Wanrong had not spoken yet. Yi Cui, the girl, felt it was very inappropriate. She couldn't help but frowned and said dissatisfiedly:
"The queen is so delicate. How big is this Madam Zhao? How dare you bother the Madam Zhao? I don't believe it anymore. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has lost an old madam and cannot operate. Besides, explaining to the Madam how long it takes to incense? You madams are a little too arrogant."
Yi Cui was smart and had a few guards looking at each other, looking embarrassed.
The one who led the team was smarter and explained in time:
"This Madam Zhao heard that she is an old man in the Interior Department. Many things were ordered by the head of the Interior Department to Madam Zhao, and then Madam Zhao told her to do it below. Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Interior Department was busy in the past few days, and all kinds of things were piled up. Madam Zhao really couldn't take it off. Besides, this Madam was kind to others and was honest and honest, and she would never put on any airs in front of the Empress."
After hearing this, Yicui wanted to refute it, but Su Wanrong shook her head and stopped her.
Su Wanrong spent time in this palace, saying that it was not long or short. However, she also knew that each department and government office in the palace had its own control system. Choosing incense for her was an insignificant thing for the operation of the entire government office, and she would never have been able to break the rules of the people because of her identity as a queen.
As for the incense, Su Wanrong has been using it for at least seven or eight years. However, she doesn't understand the various uses and effects of incense. She often uses it when she smells pleasantly. If the nanny surnamed Zhao is really as the guard said, Su Wanrong would have a good idea of this incense, so she would have wanted to see it.
In this way, she swept to the guards on the stone steps lightly and nodded, "Okay, then please lead the way in front of you."
After hearing this, Yicui widened her eyes and was the first to stand up to object.
"Empress, this is not good. Your Majesty gave instructions before leaving. During the period when Your Majesty was not in the capital, it would be difficult for the Empress to leave Fengyi Palace. If something happens, what should I do when Your Majesty comes back? "
Recalling the fussy man, Su Wanrong couldn't help but pursed her lips and laughed. She glanced at the little girl next to her with a panic expression, and said indifferently: "The emperor has indeed given instructions. If there is nothing else, it is best not to leave Fengyi Palace. But when has he issued an order to completely imprison me or restrict me from traveling? Why did I not know? What's more, I'm just going to the Interior Office to get an incense. It was only a few steps away, so what could happen?"
The Empress is extremely intelligent, but Yicui can't tell the Empress.
Although Yicui still felt in her heart that when His Majesty was away, no matter whether something happened, she should not let the Empress leave Fengyi Palace, but if the Empress made up her mind to go out, she, a girl, could only keep up.
In fact, Su Wanrong is not stupid, and she is not a person without warning.
The reason why I was willing to take this trip in person was that I was quite interested in this nanny surnamed Zhao, and the other was that before the gatekeeper informed me, I had carefully examined the tokens held by these people. I confirmed that these men were indeed the imperial guards, so that I could only meet her.
Su Wanrong has always been cautious in dealing with things. Even after confirming the identities of these people, after she came out of Fengyi Palace, she still ordered several imperial guards to follow behind not far or near, just in case.
Unfortunately, no matter how smart Su Wanrong is, she is just a wise man. She doesn't understand people who have bad intentions. She is omnipresent and can get into trouble whenever she sees things. She has planned everything, but there are always omissions. This little omission gives people who are interested an opportunity to take advantage of it.
**
When Su Wanrong regained consciousness, Yicui was no longer by her side.
This was the second time she was intoxicated in her body. With the experience of the last time, Su Wanrong had already held her breath in advance when the guard tried to faint from her. Even though she still accidentally inhaled a little bit of the drug, after she woke up, her head did not feel as swelling and painful as before.
After opening his eyes, Su Wanrong subconsciously began to look around.
Not surprisingly, she was not in the so-called Interior Office, nor did she have any nanny Zhao who knew how to scented aromatherapy.
The sight of it was an antique warm room. It was clear that it was sunny, but the open windows on all sides were tightly closed, and even the tents outside the warm room were put down tightly.
At this moment, the Empress Dowager, who looked solemn, was accompanied by the ancestor of the Grand Tutor's Mansion with a flattering smile, leaning on the imperial concubine's couch with a gloomy face. The bright and flickering wall light hit her drooping folds layer by layer, and her appearance was a bit terrifying.
Su Wanrong was not scared by the empress dowager's cunning appearance, but she felt quite surprised in her heart. She always felt that she had not seen each other for a few days, and the respected empress dowager seemed to have grown much older overnight.
Although I was not sure what these two old men had brought her here for a long time today, I thought it would be a good thing. However, with a calm and decent smile on her face, she sorted out her clothes and stood up gracefully from the ground.
"I don't know that the Empress Dowager and the ancestors specially called me here today, but what important things should I tell you?"
As he said that, his eyes faintly swept towards the two old men on the beauty's couch.
The Empress Dowager sat high above, fiddling with the red sandalwood Buddha beads on her wrist with a cold face. When she heard Su Wanrong, who was the Empress, spoke, she didn't say a word at all.
As for the ancestor, seeing Su Wanrong's calm and gentle look, she seemed not at all panic under such a situation. She narrowed her turbid but sharp old eyes thoughtfully.
The ancestor narrowed his slender eyes and looked around secretly, as if he wanted to find some clues on Su Wanrong.
After a long time, I asked slowly in my old and profound voice:
"You are Sister Wan from the fourth house of my Grand Tutor's Mansion?"
Su Wanrong felt that the problem of his ancestors was really strange. If she weren’t Sister Wan from the Grand Tutor’s Mansion, who else could she be?
The ancestor pretended to be unfathomable, and Su Wanrong also looked like she pretended to be ignorant. She smiled and said slowly with a clear voice: "The ancestor is old, and everyone is confused at this moment, right? Is this palace not the fourth sister Wan from the Grand Tutor's Mansion, who else can it be?"
As soon as Su Wanrong finished speaking, the ancestor seemed to have been greatly stimulated, and suddenly stood up from the beauty couch. She trembled with a dry and waxy hand, pointed at Su Wanrong's face tremblingly, and shouted angrily:
"What Sister Wan? You are not at all! Tell me, what kind of dirty thing you are, attached to my poor dear granddaughter! It took away my granddaughter's mind!"
