After the queen came to the throne, I was forced to be nine thousand years old

Chapter 374 The Empress Dowager and Ji Lingshu
A smile appeared on Zuo Dodge's face, he didn't make too much of a show, but directly opened the box in his hand.

The pearls overflowed from the box, and I saw a figure in the box, wearing a light purple dress, with jade face and bright eyes, skin like jade, and a graceful figure, like a boneless willow, smiling sweetly, like seeing a goddess .

Looking carefully, I saw that although this figure was lifelike, but with the same expression, it was actually a wooden sculpture.

Cai'er on the side couldn't help but exclaimed, her eyes kept wandering between the wood carving and the Queen Mother's face, the more she looked at it, the more frightened she became, isn't this the Queen Mother?Even the small, tiny red mole on the temple is exactly the same!
"This is the empress..."

The queen mother on the side also stood up slightly, looking at the wood carving that was almost as tall as him, with a rare joy in her eyes.

When Zuo Daoqi saw this, he was also happy, but he was a little distressed. If Xu Yuan knew that the secret method of "Killing Heart" he taught himself was used to make woodcarvings for women, I don't know what his expression would be.

The special training in the past few days allowed him to basically master the so-called "killing heart" taught by Xu Yuan. Although the name is a bit confusing, it is a kind of blessing to cold weapons. Can increase power by [-]% out of thin air.

It doesn't sound very clever, and it really isn't too clever.

At least this power, Zuo Dodge looked down upon, he was not good at using weapons, and the power of weapons increased by [-]%, it really didn't help him that much, that is, the control of weapons can be used to coax women ,not bad.

For example, at the moment the Empress Dowager's eyes were bright, while Cai'er had a look of resentment, envy and longing at the same time, with a bit of apprehension, it was obvious that she wanted it too, but she didn't dare to speak in front of the Empress Dowager.

Zuo Daoqi pretended not to see it at all, he is not blind to see, according to his understanding of these people in the palace, the Queen Mother has the smallest mind, maybe because her entry into the palace was too smooth, Zuo Daoqi always felt that she was the same as Jian Ji , in longing for what the opponent did.

"Zuo Dodge, did you do this?"

The Empress Dowager's voice was cold, and no emotion could be heard, but Zuo Dodge was no one.

The two of them knew the whole thing, and they knew both long and short. Zuo Daoqi naturally heard the joy in the Queen Mother's tone, so he nodded slightly and smiled.

"Of course the minister did it."

"Very good, Ai Jia likes it very much!"

There were finally clear emotional fluctuations in the queen mother's voice, and Zuo Dodge heaved a sigh of relief.

"It's good that the empress dowager likes it. After thinking about it, the minister felt that the empress had already seen a lot of ordinary things. I didn't know how much she had seen. A few days ago, the emissary suddenly thought that there is no statue for the world to worship due to the great achievements of the empress dowager. So I dared to make one."

Zuo Dodge said plainly, trying to suppress the slight fluctuations in his heart.

Behind the purple curtain, Zuo Dodge couldn't see the Queen Mother's face clearly, but he could feel that the corners of her mouth should have raised.

"Go in and let Aijia see."

Zuo Dodge followed suit.

He naturally knew that there were too many people outside and nothing could happen at this time, but he still had to listen to the queen mother's call.

A delicate jade hand like a bright moon protruded from behind the curtain, and the index finger frivolously hooked Zuo Dodge's chin.

"It's really a unique gift, Ai Jia likes it very much."

Zuo Dodge's heart beat for a while.

He couldn't tell whether the queen mother was talking about the statue he sent, or himself.

In short, he was very happy to satisfy the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager's cold fingers slowly moved upwards along his chin...
-
In the Hall of Hundred Flowers, Changyi rested his head on his elbows, staring at the distant scenery with a little dull eyes.

At this moment, Cai'er walked into the palace in a hurry, "Princess, there is news from the palace guard that someone has entered the palace with your token."

This is just a routine notification. Generally, those who enter the palace with a token of a certain princess or prince have undergone strict scrutiny. The palace guards only notify the owner of the token, so that the guests do not know when they come.

Of course, the imperial palace is a serious place, and there may be no more than three tokens in the entire imperial palace if they are eligible to leave the palace at will.

Hearing this, Changyi just let out a light 'oh', and then jumped up in an instant, "Zuo Daoqi entered the palace again? Did you go to Xiyuan?"

Cai'er shook her head, "I asked, he went to Yuchen Hall."

"Yuchen Palace?" Changyi murmured and repeated, but his eyes kept turning.

Now that she succumbed to Ji Lingshu's force, she naturally refused to accept it, but the two princesses in the palace couldn't find any helpers, and her most loyal subordinate, Zuo Daoqi, wanted to turn back. When Xiyuan returned to the palace, she suffered a lot of grievances!

So at this moment, a thought came to her mind.

Let the Queen Mother and Xiyuan go dog-eat-dog!

She walked lightly and ran towards the outside of the hall, Cai'er followed behind.

"Princess, where are you going?"

Changyi said loudly, "Follow me out of the Young Phoenix Palace!"

"Xiyuan, Zuo Daoqi has entered the palace, is he here with you!" Changyi yelled.

Ji Lingshu is practicing in the palace. She wants to walk out of a path that no one has ever done before. Only she knows the difficulties and dangers. In many cases, no one can give her experience.

Hearing Changyi's voice, Ji Lingshu frowned slightly, extinguished the Ningshen incense, and walked out of the side hall.

"Didn't my sister say that she wouldn't yell in my palace?"

She had a cold face and her voice did not fluctuate.

Changyi shrank his neck. She is not Ji Lingshu's opponent now, so naturally she should be more cowardly, but suddenly felt that her current appearance was a bit too cowardly, so she stopped and said something.

"What's the fuss, isn't Zuo Daoqi here with you? It's over, it's over, I'm going to see the big mother again, it's broken, he's going to betray Bengong!"

Ji Lingshu's eyes narrowed instantly, "You said Uncle... who did you go to see?"

For the queen mother, she didn't like it very early, but because she and her mother were able to survive from the cold palace and finally left, thanks to the queen mother's mediation, but if she doesn't like it, she doesn't like it. She is full of hostility towards the queen mother.

In a sense, the temperaments of the two are somewhat similar. The queen mother is full of desire to control, and Ji Lingshu is naturally strong. Such people are actually equally strong in certain aspects.

Also because of Zuo Dodge's relationship, it was also destined that conflicts and even conflicts would inevitably erupt between the two.

In fact, Ji Lingshu is actually a person who is very good at forbearance. This is a state of mind honed from growing up in the cold palace. However, it may be the restlessness caused by the lack of any major breakthrough in retreat these days, or some For other things, at this moment, Ji Lingshu suddenly felt agitated, and she immediately put on her coat.

"Take me to Yuchen Palace!"

A flash of joy flashed across Changyi's face, as if a little devil had been born in his mind, "Fight, let the big mother treat you well!" '

"Go to Yuchen Hall at this time, isn't it good?"

Naturally, she wouldn't say what she was thinking in her heart, tea must look like tea, she said coyly with her voice closed.

Ji Lingshu glanced at her, walked out without saying anything.

Changyi rolled his eyes, and Cai'er asked from the side, "Princess...shall we go there?"

Changyi stretched out his fingers and flicked her head, "Of course I'm going, but I'm not as rude as Xiyuan, I specially prepared a gift for the eldest mother!"

Doubt flashed across Cai'er's face, thinking about her little face, she looked at Changyi suspiciously, as if asking, "When is the princess ready?"

Changyi walked towards the Hundred Flowers Hall with his hands behind his back.

On the other side, Zuo Dodge doesn't know anything about it, he has always been a cautious person, no matter in terms of people or things.

When he came back from Yuedi, he realized that Ji Lingshu had grown up, so he deliberately staggered the number of times the Queen Mother and Ji Lingshu met.

Every time he enters the palace, he either goes to the Yuchen Palace or the Young Phoenix Palace. Even if he enters the palace once to go to the bedroom of the two, he will not reveal too much. Come out, it is definitely the kind that cannot be tolerated.

Therefore, when someone asked to see someone outside the hall, when Huarong went out and said that it was Princess Xiyuan who asked to see him, Zuo Daoqi couldn't help turning green.

isn't it?
He moved his eyes to the extremely exquisitely carved wooden sculpture. The thing that earned him face just now made him a little uneasy.

Dressed in white, Ji Ling, who was more and more outstanding, walked in slowly. At first sight, she saw the extremely eye-catching statue in the temple. Her eyes swept across Zuo Dodge unconsciously, and then looked at To the Empress Dowager, "Xiyuan has seen the eldest mother. The birthday of the eldest mother is approaching. Xiyuan has come to see if there is any help."

With just one sentence, Zuo Dodge felt a strange aura arise, as if a strange magnetic field emerged between the two of them, making him, the person standing between them, feel uncomfortable all over.

The queen mother chuckled lightly, and then said, "Little Lingshu is here, come quickly and let Ai's family see that she has grown so much."

Zuo Dodge's heart tightened, the queen mother made trouble...

He looked at Ji Lingshu with terrified eyes.

I saw Ji Lingshu took two steps forward with an obedient expression, like a child waiting for a compliment from an adult.

Zuo Dodge had never seen Ji Lingshu like this.

"Mother, did your uncle make this statue for you?"

"Uncle?" Hearing this address, the Empress Dowager's expression softened slightly, "You mean Zuo Dodge, right? He is ingenious."

Ji Lingshu nodded vigorously, "Well, I think so too. I didn't expect the things he carved to be so beautiful. He said before that he would carve one for me too. It's even bigger than yours."

Left Dodge: ? ? ?

His complexion turned dark in an instant, and Ji Lingshu was indeed the same black-bellied little loli before, which is really caring.

The Empress Dowager's expression instantly became indifferent, and she glanced at Zuo Dodge vaguely, "Is that so? Zuo, Dao, Qi?"

She paused every word, obviously didn't say anything serious, but Zuo Dodge felt like he said everything.

As for her question, Zuo Dodge couldn’t answer at all.

No matter whether he has said to do it to her or not, but at this moment, no matter what, he has to promise it!

To deny, is to lose Ji Lingshu, to admit, obviously to bear the wrath of the Queen Mother.

It's not good, it's not good, it's not good, why did Ji Lingshu come over suddenly.

Helping the Queen Mother to celebrate her birthday, only a fool would believe this kind of reason.

Zuo Dodge stared slightly.

"What about you?"

Zuo Daoqi returned to his senses, but kept silent and took a step back silently, not daring to look at the Queen Mother, but also a little embarrassed to look at Ji Lingshu.

Making a statue on weekdays would not cost Hades enough food for a few days, but now, he really dare not promise.

Ji Lingshu looked at Zuo Daoqi, his eyes were full of smiles, and he said in a clear voice, "Why should Mother make things difficult for Uncle? It's not easy for him. If he wants to serve you, he also has to serve Changyi."

She is wise, so she can see Changyi's purpose just now, because Changyi is so simple-minded and wants to play tricks in front of her, it is full of loopholes, the reason why she was fooled this time is naturally because she can't bear it.

The Queen Mother's voice was indifferent, with a unique wildness, "So that's the case. So, he also promised Changyi?"

Ji Lingshu smiled and said nothing, paused for a moment and gave Zuo Dodge a sly look, "The aunt has to ask my uncle."

Nima's!
Return to Uncle, is there anyone who cheats Uncle like you?
There was sweat on Zuo Daoqi's forehead. At this moment, he missed Xu Yuan very much. Even if he fought Xu Yuan for three hundred rounds, he really didn't want to face such a weird atmosphere.

His brain was running fast, racking his brains to figure out how to deal with it.

But I heard the Queen Mother's voice, "Lingshu, when your uncle makes a statue for you, you have to invite Aijia to take a look, and let Aijia see the difference between this big statue and the small statue of Aijia place."

blah blah blah!

In this dignified atmosphere, although everyone in Yuchen Palace didn't know what happened, they all fell silent tacitly.

So the sound of Zuo Dodge's sweat dripping on the ground was extremely loud.

Ji Lingshu turned around with a smile on her face, "Uncle, are you nervous? Do you think I'm not good at crafting? Or don't want to do it for others?"

It stings like salt in a wound.

Left Dodger's toes kept tapping the soles, give him some time for the toes to dig another palace.

Fortunately, a savior has arrived.

"My son, Changyi, asks to see the eldest mother!"

Changyi was unscrupulous, so he begged to see footsteps approaching.

As we all know, the best way to resolve conflicts is to transfer them, and the best way to break the balance is to introduce a third party.

So Zuo Daoqi looked at Changyi expectantly, wanting to see this tea sister play well.

"Auntie's bedroom is so lively. There are so many people. You, Xiyuan, are here too."

Ji Lingshu turned her head away, this is not the time to deal with her, let's talk later.

Changyi's performance continued, "Auntie, look at the poem I made for you, the gift I gave you!"

The queen mother was not very interested in things like poetry, so she suppressed her thoughts about Zuo Daoqi, gave him a vicious look, and then squeezed out a smile.

"It's said that Princess Changyi is an excellent talent of the Imperial Academy, let me see the poetic talent of our royal family, and what earth-shattering poems have been written."

Changyi proudly raised his head, and took the scroll from Cai'er behind him.

"Speaking of which, this poem is Zuo Daoqi's inspiration to my son, and he is also a great contributor."

Zuo Dodge is already numb. He seems to have forgotten to read the almanac when he went out today.

Only, more chaos came.

Zhu Hongyan in the Demon Locking Tower actually showed signs of awakening soon...
