The queen mother is charming

Chapter 149
"Big...big thing?"

Xiao Shunzi hesitated for a moment, but heard Concubine Rong bow her head and whisper in his ear.

It was just a few short words, and Xiao Shunzi sat down on the ground in fright.

He was so panicked that he kept kowtowing at Concubine Rong: "I beg your majesty to spare my life, please my majesty to spare my life..."

"The slave is just a servant running errands in this palace, the most inferior slave, how can the slave...beg your mother to let the slave go..."

If Xiao Shunzi had been in the palace for a longer period of time, he would probably be able to understand that the concubines in this cold palace are the most deceitful.

But he is a newcomer, and he has never seen such a scene before.

To him, the nobles in the palace are like gods, how could he ever think about getting entangled with people like Concubine Rong and the Queen Mother?
Not knowing what to do, I just kowtowed blindly.

But there was a sound of "dingling jingling" in my ear.

The sound of silver falling on the ground is always so nice.

Xiao Shunzi followed the voice and looked over, only to see the bright gold, silver and jewels all over the floor dazzled his eyes.

"These... are enough for you to have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life?" Only Concubine Rong said.

"You have to think about it clearly, you have always sought wealth and wealth, and you eunuchs have already cut off your descendants, and you are not afraid of implicating your family.

It's just this whole life, or I'll just spend my whole life in this palace, and I can't see my head.

Or, just give it a go, with this little money, is it enough to find two women outside the palace?Even if you can't eat, you can still experience the taste of being served by a woman. It's worth touching two more in this life.

Father-in-law, smart people know how to choose, right? "

Concubine Rong was very persuasive, although Xiao Shunzi was not in a hurry to answer what she said, but from the greedy look he looked at the silver, it was not difficult to guess his answer.

**
The weather is getting colder and colder. After the beginning of winter, it gets darker and earlier every day.

Chaoyun Hall had hung up the lights early on, and since the last time the emperor rushed away angrily, he never set foot in Chaoyun Hall again.

The queen mother was also happy to be at leisure, so she simply ordered the servants to lock the key of the palace gate very early.

It is always good for the queen mother to stay here. Although the Chaoyun Palace was cold, the queen mother never held on to the money, and every servant's room was full of burning silver charcoal.

The food and supplies are not bad, and as soon as winter started, they paid for their own money to have the guards make new winter clothes for each of the palace servants.

In addition, Chaoyun Temple was cold, and the servants had nothing to do, but they lived comfortably.

Chaoyun Palace has become a fat job.

No, as soon as the servant saw that it was getting dark, he rushed to release the key, so that he could go back to his room to warm up and drink...

Anyway, the queen mother was very tired and lazy, and when it got dark, she sent everyone away and locked herself in her inner room.

But today is different.

Today it is the turn of the little maid, Xiao'e, to head the house.

But before the door was closed, he saw two people coming from the snow.

The older one standing in front, saw that she was about to close the door and ran forward quickly, shouting: "Miss Xiao'e, wait a moment, wait a moment..."

When someone got closer, Xiao'e could see clearly.

"Oh, so it's Eunuch Zhang."

There is no one in the whole palace who does not know Eunuch Zhang, because he is the head of the internal servants.

The internal servants are in charge of the food, clothing, housing and transportation of each palace. If you want to live a more comfortable life in the palace, who wouldn't curry favor with Eunuch Zhang?
Even if it is Chaoyun Palace, the Empress Dowager has silver in her hands, and if she wants to turn it into silver carbon, firewood, rice, oil, salt, or even makeup and jewelry, she has to ask him not to.

Who doesn't know that Eunuch Zhang is greedy?
But who can be so polite when they see him?

Xiao'e had to laugh and ask, "It's so late, what's the matter with Mr. Zhang?"

"The servant is here to deliver red bean soup to the Empress Dowager by order of His Majesty."

"Your Majesty?" Xiao'e froze for a moment.

"Your Majesty hasn't come to our Chaoyun Palace for how many days, why do you suddenly want to give red bean soup today?"

"Look at what Miss Xiao'e said, His Majesty is just too busy with government affairs, it's not that he really forgot about the Queen Mother.

Besides, this red bean soup is available in every palace, not just Chaoyun Palace. "

"oh, I see……"

Xiao'e felt relieved when she heard that there were some in every palace.

At this time, no one has the spare time to check.

After all, isn't Eunuch Zhang sending all the food and clothing in this palace?
Your Majesty enjoys mung bean soup in summer, yam cake in autumn, and what is a bowl of red bean porridge?

Xiao'e rubbed her hands to pick it up.

"Then the father-in-law will give it to me."

It was a cold day, she just wanted to pick it up and go to bed early.

Xiao Shunzi behind the father-in-law handed over a heavy food box.

Eunuch Zhang specially instructed: "Miss Xiao'e, Your Majesty has ordered that this red bean soup is not only available to the masters, but also to the servants."

"Is it?"

After Xiao'e heard it, she felt happy for a while.

It's such a cold day, it's good to have something warm.

"Naturally." Eunuch Zhang said: "The weather is cold, and the palaces have worked hard. Your Majesty will remember that."

When Xiao'e heard this, she didn't hate Eunuch Zhang for being insatiable in his daily life, so she smiled and said sincerely: "Then there will be Eunuch Lao."

"Hey, it's all about doing things for the masters." Eunuch Zhang perfunctory.

"Okay, all the girls drink, the slave has to go to the next palace."

Eunuch Zhang said a few perfunctory words, and then left.

Xiao'e happily went back with the food box.

The first thing to do was to send Mu Qingchao's share.

The rest will be shared with the sisters.

At this moment, Mu Qingchao was nestling on the couch, with a small blanket covering his body, and putting Koudan on his fingernails.

In the past, when one lived alone, the clothes he wore were always dull, but now it is different, and he pays more attention to his appearance.

After all, women are the ones who please themselves.

Anyway, the Chaoyun Palace is locked, and no one will come in. You can clean it up however you like, and you can only wear it for that person to see.

She had nothing else to ask for, only wishing that this would last for a long time.

By the way, I picked up the lost script again, carefully studied the [-] moves, and prepared to use them in practice at any time.

Mu Qingchao had just painted his last nail when he heard someone knocking on the door.

"Who?" Mu Qingchao asked.

"Empress Dowager, it's a servant girl. The palaces have rewarded you with red bean soup, and the servant girl will bring it to you."

"Oh."

Mu Qingchao didn't think too much, just said: "Come in."

Xiao'e came in with red bean soup, but Mu Qingchao was just blowing on his nails without looking at it, and said, "Put it down."

"Yes."

Xiao'e put down the red bean soup and went out.

Mu Qingchao waited until his fingernails were dry before picking up the bowl of red bean soup and eating it.

She likes to eat sweets, this soup is still hot and warm, it is comfortable to drink a bowl before going to bed.

It's just that as she drank, she felt something was wrong.

The brain was dizzy for a while, and the spoon in his hand fell into the bowl with a "snap".

She is... what's the matter?
"Chunya, Chunya..." she shouted.

She remembered that it was Chun Ya who was on duty tonight, but no one answered when she shouted out.
