Chapter 33 Come to the Palace
"By the way, you don't have to go to the Yamen today, so you should rest at home. It's hard for you to go to the execution department in the dark these days."

Early the next morning, after Zhao Cuo woke up from meditation, he was doing his daily washing, and then he bumped into his elder sister as soon as he left the room, and he couldn't resist being dragged to the dining room by her holding hands, where they ate a rich breakfast together.

"Actually, it's hard to say..."

Zhao Cuo said with some shame.Miss Xinxin looked at him with pity written in her eyes, and those who didn't know thought he was arrested to dig coal.In fact, the past two days have been very easy, and going to the Yamen is just fishing.

"Have a bowl of chicken soup. My sister specially asked the kitchen to cook it for you. Don't waste it."

Zhao Shangxin thoughtfully served him a bowl of clear soup.

"Thank you sister."

Zhao Cuo had a headache.My elder sister doesn't have a big appetite, and she has put down the bowls and chopsticks ahead of time, but she has no intention of going back to the room, but sits in her original position and watches him eat with a pair of moist eyes.

The little father-in-law's gaze was also a little uncontrollable, and he couldn't help but glance at the heavy capital that his elder sister placed on the table from time to time. Just looking at it made people feel sorry for her shoulder.

It's too big.

"How does it taste?"

Zhao Shangxin asked with a smile.

"Um……"

Zhao mistakenly drank the soup in the bowl slowly.

"Neither salty nor bland tastes great."

"Drink more if you like."

Miss Zhao served him another bowl of soup as if she was afraid that her younger brother would suffer from malnutrition.

Zhao Cuo: "..."

"Master and Miss!"

The housekeeper suddenly walked in quickly, and under the watchful eyes of the Zhao family siblings, said in a low voice:
"Someone is coming from the palace!"

Zhao Cuo's pupils suddenly shrank!
'What does that woman want? '

Such a thought flashed through his mind.It is impossible for the emperor on the dragon chair to have the courage to send someone to contact their Zhao family, so it can only be the empress dowager!

Zhao Shangxin was also surprised, but soon regained his composure, smiled at Zhao Cuo and said:

"By the way, let's go to meet the lord in the palace first. Maybe you are the one who sent someone to reward you for your great achievements."

"Ah."

Zhao Cuo nodded slightly, but his heart was still hard to calm down.Indeed, the possibility that the Queen Mother Zhao wanted to reward him for his merits cannot be ruled out. Although this woman has a bad personality, the basic quality of a person in a high position is to be clearly rewarded and punished, and she naturally possesses it.

Grandpa Zhao took the remaining bite of rice in the bowl into his mouth, and then followed his sister to the lobby of Duke Zheng's mansion. The person who came was the Empress Dowager's attendant whom he was familiar with.

non-fog.

"Pass on your mother's oral order!"

The aunt Shang in the palace saw the two speakers of the Zhao family coming, and without waiting for the master to speak first, she calmly stated the purpose of her trip.

"Order Zhao Cuo to enter the palace immediately for an audience."

'Gan! '

The corners of Zhao Cuo's eyes twitched. Knowing that it was useless to panic, he maintained his superficial calm, raised his hand and said:
"Zhao took the order by mistake."

"This one……"

Zhao Shangxin also knew the evil name of the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace, and looked at his younger brother worriedly, feeling a little terrified for a while.

"May I ask Aunt Feiwu, what's the matter with your mother calling the wrong son into the palace? Can Xiangxin go together?"

"Your Majesty didn't say what it was to call the young master, but she only asked me to summon him alone. Please don't embarrass me, Miss Xinxin."

Feiwu shook her head lightly.

"do not worry."

Zhao Cuo leaned close to her sister's crystal clear ear and said.

"I just made a lot of contributions, and the empress won't embarrass me, just go back as soon as I go."

'It's strange. '

He added another sentence in his heart.

"Be careful in front of the empress."

Zhao Shangxin whispered while holding his hand.

"I know."

Young Master Zhao nodded, his emotions had completely calmed down at this moment, and after saying goodbye to his elder sister, he followed Feiwu out of the mansion and got on the carriage to the imperial city.

'Although that female devil is hateful, she is not a lunatic who would kill for no reason. The most likely reason for calling me into the palace this time is because of Yinbi Huafang, right? '

He quietly closed his eyes to rest his mind along the way, and after about two quarters of an hour, the stable carriage stopped, and what appeared in front of his eyes was the quiet and magnificent East Palace.

"please."

Under the guidance of Feiwu, Zhao Cuo walked into the domain of the female devil with silent steps. He soon found that the corridor he walked led to the Queen Mother's bedroom!
'Does this woman like to meet foreign ministers in the sleeping place so much? '

Zhao Cuo slandered in his heart.

Walking through a long corridor, the side hall that I visited a few days ago came into view. At this time, the door of the hall was open.

He was not the only one summoned by the Queen Mother early in the morning. Looking into the palace, Zhao Cuo saw a middle-aged man in a purple robe of a first-rank official. He bowed and obeyed in front of a screen with Jiangnan landscapes .

"Wait."

Feiwu stood sideways outside the palace gate, said something to Zhao Cuo in a calm tone, and then kept silent.

Young Master Zhao nodded, and carefully looked at the minister in the palace, he looked familiar but couldn't remember who it was.

Although he was standing outside the door, there was no sound from the palace at all. About the time of a cup of tea, the man in purple robe knelt down and kowtowed in ecstasy, then stood up and retreated cautiously outside the palace.

"Master Zhao..."

The official first-rank minister was taken aback when he saw the two, but Feiwu didn't give them a chance to communicate at all, so he led Zhao Cuo into the hall.

"Minister Zhao wrongly pays homage to the Empress Dowager."

Zhao Cuo bowed his head to the screen and saluted.

"Come to this palace."

The playful voice of the Witch Queen came out.

The corner of Zhao Cuo's mouth twitched, but he could only grit his teeth and walk forward.

The first-rank senior official who was still outside the hall watched in bewilderment as the young master of Zheng Guogong's mansion came behind the screen, his eyes almost popped out for a moment, and then hurriedly lowered his head and turned to leave.

……

"Miss."

As soon as Zhao Cuo walked into the inner hall, the refreshing smell like mints poured into his nasal cavity intensely.He suspected that the screen had the effect of isolating space.

Appearing in his senses along with Xiangfeng, there is also a queen mother who looks like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl in a black breast-length Confucian skirt. Her exquisite and perfect face faintly reveals the laziness of just waking up.

The moment she saw him, the empress dowager's mouth curved slightly again.

'You who are still sleeping every night have already lost! '

Zhao Cuo muttered in his heart boredly.

"sit down."

Queen Mother Zhao spoke in an orderly tone to Zhao Mi, who lowered her eyes and said nothing.

"Yes."

Zhao Cuo obediently sat upright on the spot, and since he was already in front of the woman at this time, her exquisite jade-like feet appeared in his eyes again as soon as he sat down.This woman's beauty is inversely proportional to her character, Mr. Zhao will no longer be bewitched.
