Chapter 34 The Queen's Arrival
"Why are you here? It's windy outside." The emperor signaled the maid to go down, and reached out to take the queen's cloak.

With a smile in her eyes, the queen sat on the main seat with the emperor holding hands.

"The concubine has a bad appetite recently. I heard that Xiaoxiao has entered the palace, so I hurried over to ask her if she can make another roast duck for the palace." The queen looked at the emperor tenderly, took his hand, and glanced at her. A glance was once small.

Zeng Xiaoxiao immediately understood, she came to the queen and bowed to salute.

"Back to Empress, you can eat as much as you want."

"Good boy." The Queen held Zeng Xiaoxiao's hand in her hand and said with a smile, looking very intimate.

When Zeng Kaizhi saw it, he felt a little flustered, but it was only a flash.

After all, the queen still has to rely on their Chu family, no matter how much Zeng Xiaoxiao likes her, it won't help.

Today, he must clear the way for his daughter.

"Empress, you can eat as much as you want, but..." Zeng Xiaoxiao hesitated and hesitated.

Hearing Zeng Xiaoxiao's hesitation, the empress, who was smiling brightly, froze by the way.

"What? What's the inside story?" The queen stared at Zeng Xiaoxiao, carefully observing the changes in her eyes, as if trying to see through her.

Zeng Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, but looked at Chu Jianguo, and then continued to lower his head in silence.

The queen snorted coldly, seeing the movement, she immediately understood.

"General Chu, can you tell me what's going on?"

Chu Jianguo felt a little guilty when he saw how the queen loved Zeng Xiaoxiao.

When he was thinking about how to give a perfect answer, he inadvertently looked up and found that the emperor was giving him a wink.

The emperor glanced from the empress to him, then shook his head, and blinked vigorously.

"Sure enough, I am the emperor's most trusted subject." Chu Jianguo was proud of himself, secretly thinking that even in front of the queen, the emperor always takes care of himself.

Thinking of this, Chu Jianguo became more confident.

"The emperor shook his head, he must want me to tell the truth to the queen, and he must not follow the crowd." Chu Jianguo thought to himself.

Afterwards, he paused, coughed slightly, and was about to give a tearful explanation.

"Okay! Stop talking!" The queen also noticed the emperor's winking. She thought that the emperor didn't want Chu Jianguo to say too much, so she immediately interrupted what Chu Jianguo wanted to say.

"No, empress empress, I must say it." Chu Jianguo didn't care about the three sevens, he always respected the emperor, and no one was as important as the emperor's eyes.

The queen has a good temper, and she also showed a look of impatience at the moment, while the emperor was so speechless that he shook his head.

"Zeng Xiaoxiao opened the Imperial City Roast Duck Restaurant. As a member of the imperial family, it is indecent to take the lead in business." Chu Jianguo made up a set of excuses. Before, some officials of our dynasty were dismissed because of private business, even if Zeng Kai If they don't die, they will lose a layer of skin because of lax governance.

"That's it?" The queen threw out three words lightly, with a slightly questioning tone, as if she was blaming Chu Jianguo for making a fuss out of a molehill.

"Also, Zeng Kaizhi indulged his daughter. According to the laws and regulations of our court, he should be fired and investigated!" Chu Jianguo became more and more excited as he spoke, with an air of impassioned, sacrificing his life for righteousness.

But this posture, in the eyes of everyone, is like a clown.

Everyone is awake, but he is drunk alone.

"General Chu's words are very reasonable, but what if the person behind him is the royal family? How can he be dismissed?" The queen sneered, but the light words pierced Chu Jianguo's heart like an awl.

Perhaps because of the previous encouragement, Chu Jianguo still didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at the moment.

Just listening to his words, he said forcefully: "We should treat everyone equally."

However, as soon as this sentence was finished, the emperor couldn't bear it anymore and kicked him to the ground.

Zeng Xiaoxiao and his party were dumbfounded in surprise, but they dared not speak out, for fear that they would be the next one to be kicked.

Fortunately, the emperor had no intention of kicking other people.

"Don't be angry, Your Majesty. General Chu was confused for a moment, and he didn't mean that." The Queen held the Emperor, gently stroked the Emperor's trembling chest with her left hand, and continued to comfort her with words.

"Why don't you tell me not to be angry, he actually wants to touch the queen!" The emperor was extremely angry, feeling puzzled, and wanted to kick again, but the queen stopped him in time.

Chu Jianguo, on the other hand, was in a dazed state and didn't react for a long time.

After he reacted, he began to kowtow and beg for mercy.

"Huangcheng Roast Duck Restaurant was nominated by the Queen herself. You don't know it. You want to punish Princess Yangshuo and King Zhongyi. Isn't that slapping the Queen and me in the face?" Knowing the way to do it, but still clinging to this matter, really disappointed him.

"The emperor forgives the sin, but this is not what I intended." Chu Jianguo continued to argue, but the emperor waved his hand, unwilling to listen to his explanation.

"Your Majesty, this matter is not good for my ministers. The original intention of my ministers is not to make money in business, but to improve the appetite of the empress, so I created this delicacy. Who knows that it is widely loved by everyone, so I want to use this restaurant to promote This handicraft has been passed on. Unfortunately, General Chu misunderstood me and said that I was doing business in private. My daughter is guilty." After finishing speaking, Zeng Xiaoxiao respectfully kowtowed and fell down on the ground.

Zeng Xiaoxiao's move was based on retreat, which not only removed the suspicion of deliberately doing business, but also demonstrated his loyalty to the empress.

Hearing Zeng Xiaoxiao's rhetoric, Chu Jianguo knew that he was no match for today, so he could only make a long-term plan in his heart, thinking that he would find another opportunity to solve Zeng Xiaoxiao's thorn in his daughter's way next time.

When the queen heard Zeng Xiaoxiao's words, her eyes became more loving.

She couldn't wait to pull Zeng Xiaoxiao up, and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, for your filial piety, I will not blame you. I will fully support you and make the Huangcheng Roast Duck Restaurant better and better."

"Also, I have a request!" The queen continued.

"Empress, you said, if Xiaoxiao can do it, she will do her best." Zeng Xiaoxiao saw that his goal was achieved, and he tried his best to satisfy the queen's orders.

The queen smiled, and said mischievously: "It's not necessary to try your best, just send someone to deliver a roast duck every two days. I'm so greedy!"

Zeng Xiaoxiao thought it was a big deal, but when she heard it was such a trivial matter, she agreed in a hurry.

"Empress, my daughter opened this roast duck restaurant because of you. The request you said is not a request. Even if you don't say it, my daughter will often send it to you." Zeng Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and smiled, It looked cute and touching, and the two brothers Mu Chuqian and Mu Chucong were dumbfounded.

Chu Jianguo, on the other hand, lowered his head and gritted his teeth, regretting that he shouldn't be so impulsive, while wishing to eat Zeng Kaizhi and Zeng Xiaoxiao raw.

Stealing chickens by oneself won't cost you nothing, and you can make wedding dresses for others in vain.

Just now.

Mu Chuqian's words broke the laughter of some people and someone's secret calculation.

"Father, my son also has a book to play." Mu Chuqian's voice was full of magnetism, and it sounded in the study, making people intoxicated.

"What does Qian'er want to play?" The emperor was a little surprised. Qian'er had just returned to Beijing not long ago. He thought that he only knew how to lead troops to fight, but unexpectedly he put forward many other constructive suggestions for the court, which made him admire.

This can't help but make him look forward to it, not knowing what Mu Chuqian will say next.
