Chapter 120
Luo Xiyao's voice was normal, and she was not nervous or afraid in the face of Emperor Dongqi. She also kept her eyes on the cabinet and the six ministers sitting on both sides, "Jiu Niang is a little poor at sewing, and she is not familiar with brocade at first, but fortunately, she entered the palace. Under the teaching of Princess Ronghui, she has improved a lot. If Jiuniang reads correctly, this white silk is produced in Yuzhou, and it is specially made for high-ranking officials and nobles. There are, only the royal family can use it. Of course, if it is a reward from the palace, then the courtiers may also use this cotton."

"But all the rewards in the palace are well documented."

"You adults may not know that the seven-color brocade that Yuzhou pays tribute to every year evolved from Yuzhou white silk. 30 years ago, a clever woman in Yuzhou accidentally discovered that when weaving white silk, mixing raw silk would make the white silk shine in the sun. The lower part is more lustrous, so the white silk became famous, and Qiao Niang was rewarded with ten taels of silver. Afterwards, she devoted herself to studying white silk, and finally weaved seven-color brocade through silk thread and unique weaving skills."

Luo Xiyao raised her hand and held up the unraveled white silk and placed it in the sunlight, and it really showed golden and green luster.

The white silk is not visible when held in the hand, but when the sun shines, it reveals a difference.

"The person who wants to make this doll is used to using good things. It is the most inconspicuous silk and satin. It is a pity that such silk and satin are not available to ordinary people. Even if tributes flow out accidentally, they are not gentry people. Something that can be touched. Because they have neither connections nor money."

"If Your Majesty and the other adults don't believe it, you can ask Eunuch Hong from the Punishment Department to see it. Eunuch Hong has been in the Punishment Department for many years, and he wants to come in contact with a lot of things in the palace. Oh, and the former governor of Yuzhou, Mr. Xu. In Ningxin During the Princess and Ji ceremony, Mrs. Xu discovered the distinctive Huaqing Brocade, His Majesty and Lord Ma were both present, and Lord Xu could recognize it if he wanted to."

After Luo Xiyao finished speaking, she almost pointed at Emperor Dongqi and said that all this was done by the royal family!
Both brocade and cotton wool are tributes, so what about needlework?
As she said, there are records of tributes entering and exiting the palace gates, and every stitch and thread in the palace has its source.

The cabinet and the six ministers are mature and prudent, how many ups and downs they have experienced all the way to this position, but what about Luo Xiyao?But a girl who has not reached the age of Ji can face them in the imperial study without changing her expression, talking with eloquence, such a heart is really shocking.

No wonder there are rumors that His Majesty hesitated a lot in getting married to Mobei.

If such a girl gains power, she will surely set off a storm.

No matter how noble the Eastern Qi Emperor is, he must be reasonable.

It is true that he is the emperor and the lord of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, but he is not a tyrant.

Just as he was filial to Empress Dowager Yang, he didn't promise Empress Dowager Yang to release Yang Sheng from the palace, didn't agree to release Ning Xin from the clan mansion, and didn't agree to punish Luo Jiuniang.

Emperor Dongqi glanced at Luo Jiuniang and said: "This matter involves a lot and needs to be verified slowly. You put this thing down first, and I want to discuss state affairs with you adults."

The implication is naturally that you hurry up and get out!
Luo Jiuniang knew that her words offended Emperor Dongqi, but it didn't matter, her position was destined to be opposite to Emperor Dongqi.

She said with a sneer: "What happened in the past few days is related to Yuzhou Brocade. I think God knows that Governor Xu will return to Beijing. Your Majesty can let Mr. Xu follow to check slowly, otherwise people will have to go to Yuzhou..."

Just halfway through the conversation, Empress Dowager Yang arrived, and all the adults quickly got up to salute, but the expression of Emperor Dongqi changed.

It is said that knowing a child is better than a mother, and vice versa.

The Eastern Qi Emperor knew why Empress Dowager Yang came without even thinking about it.

She must have heard about the voodoo dolls in Luoshangshu Mansion, and maybe the news got around and her birthday became hers.

It is well known that Empress Dowager Yang dislikes Luo Jiuniang.

Empress Dowager Yang narrowed her eyes dangerously, "The Ai family heard that something disgusting was found in Luo Shangshu's mansion. The Ai family knew that the palace has always been peaceful, but since Luo Jiuniang entered Beijing, whether it is Ning Xin, Ai's family, or Cheng The Engong Mansion is in constant trouble. When she was in Pingcheng, Luo Jiuniang resisted the decree and refused to marry, and went to Beijing...Who can guarantee that Luo Jiuniang has no hatred for the emperor's marriage in her heart? The emperor's ministers are all there, Luo Shangshu should give an explanation that satisfies everyone!"

Emperor Dongqi frowned: "Mother."

"Ai's family is in good health! Didn't the emperor ask the imperial doctor to take the pulse of Ai's family early in the morning? The emperor who is worried about Ai's family!" The Empress Dowager Yang sighed, "The harem doesn't ask about court affairs, but Mobei and Ximan are on the same page. The Ai family knew about this kind of thing even if they didn’t come out of Ci’an Palace! But what happened last night? The tiger from the animal park appeared in Yuli Palace without a sound! Where is Yuli Palace, that’s…”

"Mother!" Emperor Dongqi raised his voice slightly, preventing Empress Dowager Yang from speaking.

Empress Dowager Yang realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said, and her complexion was a little bad. She pretended to be calm, "The Ai family knows that you all don't like Cheng'en Gongfu, and think that Cheng'en Gongfu has no merit and no virtue, and should not be awarded this title. The emperor shouldn't pay attention to it. But have you ever thought about it? Cheng'en is a reward for foreign relatives. If you look down on Cheng'en's mansion, don't you look down on the Ai family? The emperor's son! If you don't like it, let the Ai family hold back!"

Before Emperor Dongqi could speak, Empress Dowager Yang hurriedly took his hand, "Has the emperor thought about it? That person can bring Sheng'er from outside the palace into the Yuli Palace, and tie the tiger from the animal garden to the Yuli Palace... Whether it's people or tigers, there are so many guards in the palace, how come no one found out about such a big thing? If the person who did this was to deal with the emperor, what would the situation be like now?"

"It's easy for people to say, hiding in a sedan chair, hiding in a basket... But what about the tiger? Not to mention that the two palace guards may not be able to lift it, even the guards in the palace, how many of them can carry the tiger on their shoulders? If so If it's not made by humans..." Empress Dowager Yang's eyes swept over Luo Shangshu and finally landed on Luo Xiyao, "If it wasn't made by humans, it would make sense , isn't it?"

If Empress Dowager Yang had thought of this long ago, she would not have waited until now to say that someone reminded her.

This person got the news immediately after the morning court, and passed the news to the ears of Empress Dowager Yang of Ci'an Palace.

In other words, Queen Mother Yang had already got the news before the early dynasty ended.

This person must be trusted by Empress Dowager Yang. If Emperor Dongqi could ask, the matter of Yuli Palace might really come to light.

It's just... Will the layout people show their tails so easily?

Emperor Dongqi was not an incompetent emperor. Even if someone in the palace secretly acted, how could he be ignorant of such a big movement?
Empress Dowager Yang came to the imperial study in a hurry, obviously she really thought that Luo Xiyao would be tired of winning. Although there was anger in her eyes, it was more fear.

So she wanted to shoot Luo Xiyao to death while the cabinet and the six adults were there.

Even if it doesn't work, the Luo Mansion will be implicated, and he will be a man in Beijing with his tail between his legs in the future.

Luo Xiyao stood still, "If Jiu Niang really has that kind of ability, how can the empress dowager stand here and criticize?"
