Chapter 124 Chapter 124 Disaster from Greedy Wolf

If Madam came to greet the Empress Dowager, everyone silently looked at this legendary Madam.

No one can ignore the beauty of Mrs. Ru, this kind of beauty is fatal to old people.

"What I know is that you can't stay in Zhaoguo any longer. What I don't know is that I thought you wanted to do something while Emperor Wei was dying."

Madam Ru didn't seem to take the hostility inside and out of the words to heart, "I came back because I received His Majesty's order. What happened in Beijing has been vaguely mentioned. The Queen Mother has been busy these days. It's exhausting."

The queen mother snorted coldly, "What? Do you still want to take over the position of the middle palace for the Ai family?"

Ru Furen just smiled and didn't answer, for a beautiful person like her, just standing there has already captured everyone's attention, let alone smiling.

The indifference of the lady like a spring breeze is in stark contrast to the sharpness of the queen mother.

Even Gu Mingluan felt that the Queen Mother was at a disadvantage, she stood up silently, that was her unwillingness to show weakness.

She admits that Mrs. Ru is excellent, but she herself doesn't want to be compared.

Mrs. Ru noticed her little actions, but she just smiled but didn't make a sound.

"Mother Concubine, look what interesting things I brought here." Ji Xuewei grabbed Gu Aman's arm and came over, "You may not believe it, but this girl is Xiao Xuanzhi's friend, he is so stinky and hard There is actually someone who can play with him.”

Seeing her daughter so happy, the smile on Mrs. Ru's face grew stronger, "Queen Mother, the young masters are here, you monkey-like person, why don't you hurry up and salute."

Ji Xuewei didn't hold back, and saluted a few people generously.

It's just that when facing Liu Yuan, Ji Xuewei, like the sixth prince, behaved like a disciple.

"She is my second uncle's student. It is said that she served tea, but it's not necessarily true. This old woman likes to lie."

Gu Aman had known Liu Yuan for so long, indeed, it was the first time he knew that he had accepted a female disciple.

With Gu Aman's status, no matter what, he shouldn't appear here.

Being humble is not humility for her, but a true portrayal, especially in the face of the existence of the most noble people in the Great Wei, and according to the law, she has to kneel down and bow down.

Now the rain has not stopped, and the water on the bluestone slab is cold.

"You can't come to such a place."

Liu Yuan's expression was indifferent, and the corners of his eyes and brows were strange, "Back off!"

It's hard to describe the feeling at that moment, like being stabbed into the heart by a soft knife, but it hurts enough without seeing blood.

It's hard to imagine that such cold and cold words were spoken from such a beautiful face.

Gu Aman pursed the corners of her mouth, her long eyelashes were drooping, and her eyes seemed to fall on the rainwater that had not passed her toes.

"This is really where I shouldn't be."

She smiled slightly.

The smiling Liu Yuan frowned.

He watched Gu Aman smile apologetically at the queen mother and everyone, and saluted with great demeanor, "Please forgive me, gentlemen."

In the end, she bowed in Liu Yuan's direction with great care.

"Also ask the young teacher to be Haihan, and don't care about the little girl."

"My master is very magnanimous, and he won't argue with you." Ji Xuewei naturally stood up to speak for Liu Yuan.

Gu Aman was slightly taken aback, she glanced at Liu Yuan, seeing that the other party did not answer, the smile on her face deepened.

When he turned around, Gu Aman's toes raised water, and he passed the person who scolded him.

Umbrellas rubbed against each other's shoulders, and the afternoon sun came out of the oppressive darkness through the overcast clouds, but Gu Aman's mood seemed even more oppressive than the sun, gloomy as if it was about to rain.

But in this dullness, she suddenly raised a smile.

Almost at the moment he left, Prince Xiaozhong outside the city gate had already raised his flag and arrived.

Before he got close to the city gate, someone stopped him, but Prince Xiaozhong took off his clothes and armor, took off the prince's seal, and entered the city gate in plain clothes and ordinary people.

This time, even Liu Yuan did not stop him.

If the prince takes off his clothes, he is no longer a prince, but just a dutiful son who came to visit his mother.

All of a sudden, the Empress Dowager burst into tears.

To live to her age, to live to her status, many things are just a passing cloud to him.

Only this family relationship will not only fade away as time goes on, but it will be like wine brewing, getting thicker and thicker over time.

Because of the arrival of Prince Xiaozhong, even if Emperor Wei is seriously ill now, he will have a banquet to entertain him.

When the prince returned to Beijing, he would hold a state banquet as a courtesy, and the officials would have a great banquet, so that the whole world would have fun together.

But because of the special circumstances, the state banquet was finally changed to a family banquet when the queen mother was very dissatisfied.

However, although the reputation has been lowered, the specifications have been greatly improved by the Queen Mother.

Just talking about the ninety-nine and 81 dishes on the main table, the empress dowager added a few dishes that Prince Xiaozhong liked, and in the end it even exceeded the emperor's specifications.

The palace people reminded the Queen Mother in a low voice, and then deleted a few more words, "Since you went to the fiefdom, Xiaozhong, people in this palace have become less and less concerned about Aijia. Look, it's just a few more words." For a dish, just pick and choose here."

Prince Xiaozhong is at least [-]% similar to the Empress Dowager. He is actually the one who most resembles the ancestor of the emperor among the many brothers.

If the ancestors hadn't gone early, the person sitting on the dragon chair might not be who it is now.

The Empress Dowager secretly felt distressed when Prince Xiaozhong took off his brocade and satin clothes and sat beside her in plain clothes, "Your body has been delicate since you were a child, how can you wear clothes with such rough stitches comfortably?"

"I'm here. I've been spending the past few days with Aijia in the palace. Don't you know how tired Aijia has been since your brother fell ill? You also took this opportunity to help Aijia."

These words were meant for Prince Xiaozhong, his own son, and also for the ministers, especially for Liu Yuan.

Faced with the Empress Dowager's plan to distribute power to Prince Xiaozhong with medicine, Wei Yanqing was also very helpless. He stood by the side like a night wandering god and chatted with Liu Yuan, "Which one gave him the idea of ​​taking off his clothes and armor? It's so bad." .”

Liu Yuan silently looked at the list at today's palace banquet, and directly crossed out those dishes that did not comply with the rules.

Wei Yanqing looked amused at this stroke, "If you go on like this, you will become a prince directly from a prince. What wine do you still drink? Just drink the northwest wind."

But soon Wei Yanqing got the hang of it, "No way, you're going to replace the prince's palace banquet with the emperor's palace banquet in front of the queen mother."

"It's about removing clothes and armor, so it can't be treated as a prince."

Liu Yuan passed the crossed-out list to the palace attendant next to him with a businesslike appearance, "Tonight is the reception banquet for the sixth prince, and everything will be done according to the rules."

Wei Yanqing seemed to see a ghost, he folded his arms and looked at the queen mother who was holding Prince Xiaozhong and talking intimately.

When this dish is served, the old woman will probably go crazy.

He laughed dryly, "I didn't expect that after so many years, you still have so much resentment towards this one."

Wei Yanqing patted Liu Yuan's shoulder considerately, and under the latter's murderous gaze, retracted it indifferently, "After all, he has already returned, so why do you care what he did?"

Wei Yanqing said sternly, "Repaying your kindness is repaying your kindness, but sometimes you have to keep your eyes open to see clearly. Things are different, and the empress dowager who acts vigorously and resolutely can become the brainless look she is now. Is the one you are thinking of really the same as before?"

It is possible.

So can others.

Just entering An Xie's bedroom, Madam Ru slapped her directly, Ji Xuewei knelt on the ground covering her face, not daring to shed a single tear.

"I was too reckless today." Ji Xuewei knelt down and said, "I shouldn't have brought Gu Aman in front of the crowd, and caused Gu Aman to be alert."

Mrs. Ru didn't even give Ji Xuewei a look.

This is dissatisfaction with your own answer.

Ji Xuewei was a little dazed, and she looked at her younger brother for help, "Sister really shouldn't bring Gu Aman there today, but the discomfort you have to worry about has aroused Gu Aman's vigilance, but your behavior has aroused the dissatisfaction of the teacher. "

"Liu Yuan?" Ji Xuewei covered her face, "I don't understand."

From the beginning to the end, she didn't feel any mood swings in Liu Yuan, and she never felt that it was her fault to give the other party power.

The sixth prince sat on the chair next to him and ate lychees. It was such a refreshing and fresh fruit in Shangjing at this time of year. It must be said that Liu Yuan really cared about their family.

"Judging from their actions several times, Gu Aman definitely has an inseparable relationship with Liu Yuan." The sixth prince said, "If she is not a woman, I would doubt whether she was born as a servant in black."

But is the daughter of a humble official worthy of being so feared by them?
Thinking of the information collected before, Ji Xuewei already had some calculations in her mind.

"I will pay attention to things in the future, no matter what? I won't let others see my shadow behind me again."

Mrs. Ru finally calmed down slightly after listening to the analysis and discussion of her son and daughter.

"Emperor Wei is critically ill and comatose. This is our only chance to stay in Shangjing. No matter what you do, I just want to see the desired result."

In private, the two treat each other like a wife and not like a mother and daughter, but like a subordinate superior giving orders.

But Ji Xuewei was obviously used to it.

"I suspect that there is someone behind Prince Xiaozhong. It is very likely that it was the other party who took off his clothes and armor and entered the city gate today."

Ji Xuewei's speculation saved her a lot, and even the sixth prince restrained his expressions.

"As far as I know, although there are many cronies around Prince Xiaozhong, most of them tend to be soldiers in the military camp. I will send another person to investigate this matter."

Mrs. Ru looked out the window at the Begonia Remnant Rain, "How about the Yellow River?"

"There was a mistake when traveling to the middle of the Yellow River. The local officials belong to the line of the Three Princes. Xiao Xi probably will waste some time on the matter."

Ji Xuewei didn't understand why, "The patrol officer is not from the First Prince, so he is so blatant, isn't he afraid of the First Prince's impeachment?"

Ji Xuewei's reaction annoyed Mrs. Ru, "Keep your voice down, don't disturb the crabapple outside my window."

Mrs. Ru, who was in a bad mood, even reprimanded the sixth prince, "The eldest prince has teamed up with the third prince. If you still can't see through it, then you can only figure it out when they burn incense for you."

The sixth prince nodded, "My child will take this matter to heart."

Madam Ru didn't want to look at the two of them again, she turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window, "Follow your master carefully."

Almost at the moment when the sixth prince answered in a low voice, there was a commotion outside the palace.

"Go away!"

"Come and put out the fire!"

"What's the noise?"

The sixth prince came back and reported, "Reporting to my mother and concubine, it is the water from the Gongde Hall."

The Hall of Merit is connected to the Qin Tianjian, which was originally the place where the meritorious emperors of the Huang Jiali dynasty were placed.

Say he is important, this is a place where the things of the dead are enshrined.

Let's say he is not important, here are the uncles, brothers, uncles, seven aunts and eight aunts of the present day.

In addition, here is connected to the Qin Tianjian, and for a while, those alchemists who usually stay behind closed doors in the Qin Tianjian carried Sinan one by one, took the tortoise shell, threw copper coins, and divination.

For a lifetime, the maids and servants who put out the fire in front of the Hall of Merit came and went, as busy as ants on a hot pot, and the alchemists in the Qin Tianjian next to them carried the mascots one by one, juggling. Shushu stood at the door watching the fun.

If it weren't for the lack of water, maybe someone would just pour it in a bucket.

"Because the state of my divination today is not very good!"

This group of alchemy is different from those pretending to be ghosts that Gu Aman has seen before. These are real talents and practical learning, and they can calculate the existence of good times, good fortune and bad luck by relying on the delicate balance between arithmetic and fate.

Which one can enter the palace and serve as a pseudo-emperor is not the best.

The old guys who usually get together and can count on the full moon because of the moon, but can quarrel all day, now ask each other calmly.

"Everyone, I don't understand. Did I eat this old turtle too clean? Why is the hexagram I calculated today a little violent?"

"What is your hexagram?"

"What is the result of your divination?"

Everyone concealed alchemy from each other, but asked each other, until the last few old men had no choice but to say, "I'll count one, two, three, and everyone will directly reveal what they have calculated."

So in front of the burning merit hall, several alchemists who add up to two hundred years old were turned away like children.

"one two Three……"

"Spirit tortoise with severed limbs!"

"Xianshan Zheji!"

"Damn it!"

This time, this group of alchemists who had never served anyone in their life were dumbfounded. They all looked at Sinan's man squatting on the steps in unison.

"Old man, what should we do about this?"

Dragging Sinan along, the person who was called Lao Zhangtou by his colleagues was the supervisor of Qin Tianjian.

"What else can I do." Old Zhang put his Sinan into his heart with distress, and looked at the Hall of Merit and Virtue that was almost burned to the ground in front of him, and there were two big heads.

"I just hope that after this incident is over, there will be a few people left in our Qin Tianjian."

"Hey."

The old Zhangtou sighed.

If they really start to kill like the previous dynasty, the road of their group in the future will be considered to have come to an end.

Liu Yuan was the first to intercept the first-hand news from the little maid who was chatting with her head facing her head outside the window without Qin Tianjian handing over the paperwork.

——The greedy wolf embraces the moon, causing disaster to Wei.

The news swept across the entire capital almost instantly...
