Chapter 207 Is it okay to lose face?
"Luo Jiuniang." Empress Dowager Yang didn't want to hear her sophistry, and she didn't want to let the queen drag the topic away. She habitually glanced at the position of Concubine Ping, but unfortunately the chair had been replaced, and the best dog was gone. Now, she could only speak by herself, "Aijia asked you, did you move into Prince Helan's mansion?"

Luo Xiyao said: "If Shan Qihou's Mansion is the Helan Prince's Mansion in the Empress Dowager's mouth, then Jiu Niang has moved in. Jiu Niang originally thought that Brother Qi left the paddock first because of a letter from the Great Master, and she didn't know until she returned to Beijing. Seventh brother is going to run an errand for His Majesty. Now that Seventh brother is injured, His Majesty let Seventh brother recuperate in the mansion. Seventh brother has no relatives around him. As his fiancee, Jiuniang should take care of her, right? Jiuniang and Seventh brother's The marriage is based on His Majesty's imperial decree. Your Majesty's words are as good as they are, and this marriage is related to the peace between Dongqi and Mobei. There will be no change. If this is the case, dare to ask the Queen Mother, Jiuniang to take care of Seventh Brother, is there any reason? What's the problem?"

The empress was aware of Empress Dowager Yang's political literacy and temperament, she immediately said: "The empress mother and I heard some rumors, and I was a little worried about you, that's why I called you into the palace for questioning. But you are always like a little hedgehog, which is not good. Even the folks in Mobei are tough, you are also a girl, not a man. As you said, you take care of Lord Helan when he is injured, but you can't Handle business for him?"

Luo Xiyao asked suspiciously: "What does the empress mean...the palace wants to arrange someone to help Seventh Brother with his official duties?"

She turned a blind eye to the queen's face, clapped her hands happily and said, "If so, that would be great! Seventh brother can't even get out of bed, and he still listens to the housekeeper's report on this and that all day long. How about recovery? If Your Majesty and the Empress can send someone capable to help us, that would be the best. Of course, in addition to the manpower brought by Seventh Brother from Mobei in the Shanqi King's Mansion, it is Your Majesty and the Great Master of Mobei The person who sent it away, in order not to make His Majesty and the Grand Master unhappy, so there is a requirement for this person to come in. If the Empress is optimistic and Your Majesty agrees, Jiu Niang will also test this person for Brother Seven, and then she will know that there is such a person. Do people get twice the result with half the effort, or do they get twice the result with half the effort?"

"Presumptuous!" Empress Dowager Yang slapped the handrail of the phoenix carving heavily, "It was a marriage bestowed by the emperor, but you haven't performed the ceremony, and you haven't officially married, how could you move into the Helan Palace so casually and call yourself the hostess? If it weren't for your lack of rules and embarrassment to Dong Qi, would the Ai family send someone to restrain you? Luo Jiuniang, you are so unruly and disrespectful, what qualifications do you have to test the person sent by the Ai family?"

Sure enough, I want to send eyeliner in!Luo Xiyao sneered, she didn't even dare to call it Prince Shanqi's Mansion, she insisted on calling it Prince Helan's Mansion, how dare she yell at her like this coward?It's not that Luo Xiyao insists on looking down on Empress Dowager Yang, but it's because there's nothing worthy of empress dowager Yang's ups and downs.

"The Empress Dowager is wrong." Luo Xiyao said bluntly, "Someone stumbles and one stumbles. Your Majesty is wise, and the courtiers are capable. Doesn't the imperial court have to go through layers of examinations to select officials? Let alone the road to imperial examinations starting from childhood, Even if you become an official, you have to accept the assessment every year. The Empress Dowager just points to one, and that person is a good one? If so, what's the use of having a Punishment Division in the palace? It's just a display?"

Just this political vision, just this talent... To Luo Xiyao, Empress Dowager Yang's fighting power is really scum, just like ants crawling over her shoe, trying to scare her off, but she stomps her feet Trampled to death, that's all.

Ever since the imperial concubine's [-]th full moon banquet, Empress Dowager Yang has never taken advantage of Luo Xiyao's hands, but just like this, she has been defeated repeatedly, what is she trying to do?

Luo Xiyao said: "I don't know where the future is, it's true to live through the present..."

"Aijia said one sentence, you have ten sentences waiting." Empress Dowager Yang said bitterly, "When you suffer from your tongue in the future, you will be honest."

Apart from Empress Dowager Yang and Empress Dowager Yang, there are only a few princesses who can compete with Luo Xiyao in rank.

But Ning Xin has suffered several times, and the smart ones know what to do at this moment.

This three-sigh tone made everyone embarrassed to death.

The palace maid gently brought the rose tea to Luo Xiyao. Luo Xiyao picked up the teacup, raised her fingers gracefully to touch the rose petals with the gold-patterned flying bird tea cover, took a sip, and said, "How about you?" There are rumors... Jiuniang went directly to Prince Shanqi's Mansion in Seventh Brother's car, how did people outside know that Jiuniang lived in? All the way back to Beijing from the paddock, there are countless people who know that Jiuniang is in the car, Either it is top-down, some people can't see Jiuniang's goodness; or it is bottom-up, some people can't control their tongues, and the master can't control the subordinates. It doesn't matter which one it is now, because the angry seventh brother has already let People go to arrest the person who spread the rumors, maybe they have already been sent to the Governor of Kyoto at this moment, what is going on, you will know at the first trial. If the Governor of Kyoto can't deal with it, there are still the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, so many places, always There is a place where one, two, and three can be interrogated, what do you think, Queen Mother?"

"Isn't that inconvenient? Rumors spread to the palace, to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, and then to Jiuniang being announced to the palace. Are the rumors aimed at Dongqi and Mobei, or Jiuniang! No matter what, always plan for the worst. Jiuniang said this to reduce the danger, so as not to be passed on to the ears of the Great Master by someone with a heart. At that time... both sides will be ugly. It doesn't matter if Jiuniang loses face, but just like what the empress said, Jiuniang is from Dongqi, and she always doesn't want Dongqi to lose face."

The concubines who were not of high grade all obediently closed their eyes to look at the toes of their shoes, but secretly pricked up their ears without saying a word, pretending that they did not exist.

The queen said: "In the palace, some things are handled more conveniently than outside. The empress dowager is a servant, you can explain one or two, why are you talking in such a weird way? Why? You haven't married and went to Mobei, Ben Can't the palace care about you?"

The news of Empress Dowager Yang came from Cheng Engong Mansion. Luo Xiyao said that she was worried when she sent people to the governor of Jingdu Prefecture. Seeing that Luo Xiyao couldn't be restrained, she wanted to drive people out, so she could send people to go. Let's see if anyone from Cheng En Gong's mansion has been arrested. If so, she has to find a way to get them out before the emperor knows.

Empress Dowager Yang couldn't say anything more, so she signaled the empress to drive him away quickly.

Even though the queen was unhappy, she could only pinch her nose to end the Queen Mother Yang and Duke Cheng'en's mansion. She thought for a while and said, "You are right. But...you never thought of other possibilities? Are you congratulating me?" Lord Lan’s car drove back directly, but your box and cage are going to be delivered from Shangshu Mansion, right? It’s hard for the common people not to know about this car and car! Could it be that Jiu Niang didn’t pack up and send it over?”

Luo Xiyao smiled, "I gave it away, but Jiu Niang was made by the guards around Uncle and Seventh Brother. Now that there is a disaster, ordinary people will think that it is food and not Jiu Niang's things..."
