The queen mother is charming

Chapter 21 If Everyone Can't Be Convinced, Then Everyone Should Be in Awe

Bai Rui, who was sitting opposite Xiao Tao, laughed "puchi" when she heard this.

"I see you are daydreaming. The Prince of Wu'an is a prince, an extremely human minister. Even if he is a fairy-like figure, what does it have to do with you and me?"

Xiaotao is not convinced: "I just think about it, what's the point of thinking about it?"

"At that time, thinking about these things is better than thinking about how to do more work and raise wages."

……

When the two little girls were bickering, Qiangwei came in from the outside.

"Empress Dowager, Concubine Rong from Shuyue Palace was sent to Jiming Temple to chant Buddhist scriptures for Nanming."

Mu Qingchao picked up another piece of window paper and cut flowers. Hearing what Qiangwei said, the movements of his hands were as usual, but he didn't look surprised at all.

On the contrary, Qiangwei was surprised: "Has the queen mother heard about this?"

"No." Mu Qingchao said.

"You don't need to hear about this kind of thing, you can just guess it. I guess it was proposed by the Minister of Rites, right?"

When Qiangwei heard this, she was overjoyed, and only sighed: "The queen mother is really amazing!"

Mu Qingchao also laughed: "Where is the God of Aijia? Think about it, now that Concubine Yu is grounded, how can Zhong Ming just watch Concubine Rong conceive a dragon heir first?
The Zhong family and Princess Zhen Guo faced each other tit-for-tat. From the outside, Princess Zhen Guo seemed to be stronger, but if the Zhong family had no means, they could secure the position of prime minister.

In addition, His Majesty is naturally happy to contribute to the flames, so Concubine Rong has to go if she goes, or if she doesn't go. "

Mu Qingchao could remember that according to historical records, a large number of mobs were involved in the downfall of the Zhong family, among them was the Minister of Rites.

Qiangwei didn't know much about these things, and just kept blowing rainbow farts: "The Queen Mother is wise."

After that, another thing was mentioned: "I heard that Jingzhao Mansion Yin severely punished those children, and even his family members were exiled into the army."

When Qiangwei said this, there was a trace of sadness between her brows.

"Queen, isn't it too cruel to do this?"

Mu Qingchao looked up at her: "What? Your heart softened?"

"It's not soft-hearted, it's just...it's just a few children, even if it's a momentary slip of the tongue, it's just young and ignorant, this..."

"Where is it just a child's business?"

Mu Qingchao responded in this way: "The Ai family never murdered and set fire to it. It is known to all the women and children in the streets and alleys about what kind of concubine. There must be someone deliberately ignoring it behind it.

If the Ai family can't guard against the passing of time and kill the chicken to make an example to the monkey, I'm afraid others will think I'm easy to bully.

Now kill one to warn others, so that people in the world will see it, so that they can keep their mouths shut. "

Mu Qingchao said this without any hesitation.

This world is cruel, either you die or I live.

"But this servant is just worried... worried that the common people will be more afraid of you because of this, although they don't say it, but their suspicions are confirmed in their hearts." Qiangwei said.

"Who cares what they think?" Mu Qingchao laughed.

What did she do wrong in the previous life?The rumors about her birth were like a flood, devouring her so that not even her bones remained.

It's hard to control people's hearts, so she just needs to control her tongue.

"If everyone can't be convinced, then Aijia will be feared by everyone," she said.

**
It will be the new year soon, Chaoyun Hall has been organized, and those who come to report letters and deliver things, including the internal guard, have all sealed red envelopes.

Right now, money is getting tighter.

Fortunately, Lu Li kept his promise, and after the third watch on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, he sneaked into Mu Qingchao's bedroom.

His skills are really amazing, and his lightness kung fu is so superb that no one even in Chaoyun Palace has noticed it.

Mu Qingchao was soundly asleep, shaking her behind with one hand.

"Who?"

Mu Qingchao woke up suddenly, and put a dagger on the opponent's neck.

Lu Li pulled down the mask on his face and said, "The Queen Mother, it's my subordinate."

"It is you."

Mu Qingchao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, fortunately, this person has a good character, if he is a gentleman, he will probably make the government worry bald.

Mu Qingchao gave Jianli the valuables that had been packed long ago, and asked him to take them out of the palace to sell.

After finishing this, he fell asleep and fell asleep.

In a daze, she heard someone calling her beside her: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother..."

It was Chunya's voice.

"Your Majesty wants you to go to the Palace of Fulin."

Your Majesty... why are you looking for her at this time?
Chun Ya smiled and pushed her away: "Queen Mother, the sun is already rising, don't ask Your Majesty to wait too long."

Chunya looked at the bruises under her eyes: "What's wrong with the Queen Mother? Did you not sleep well last night?"

Mu Qingchao was very helpless, and only said: "Serve Ai's family to make up."

Today happened to be a new year, and while Mu Qingchao was dressing up, Chun Ya served her a bowl of Laba porridge for her to drink.

"There are plenty of sweet dates and rock sugar in this porridge. The queen mother has a drink, it's so sweet."

Chunya knew that the queen mother had a sweet tooth.

Seeing Mu Qingchao take a sip, his brows and eyes crooked with a smile: "It's really sweet."

Thinking about the things that Jianli had already asked Jianli to take out as silver, and when he bought the mountain, he would no longer have to worry about silver flowers. He could drink as much of this sweet porridge as he wanted, and he felt better for no reason.

So she ordered: "By the way, take a bowl and send it to Your Majesty."

Yugong, she is the empress dowager of Nanming, His Majesty's mother and concubine, caring for her "son" is understandable, but privately, she works for Shen Muchi to please her boss, it's only natural.

All the clothes were pawned, and there were not many left, so Mu Qingchao picked out an apricot-colored short jacket with pipa sleeves, and put a cloak on it.

The snow outside was a foot thick, but the empress dowager didn't even have a footstep. Chunya held an umbrella for her behind her, and she walked towards Fulin Hall step by step with the food cup holding the eight-treasure porridge.

When approaching Fulin Palace, Mu Qingchao saw an acquaintance.

Little Princess Wan'an.

How did she come here?

She remembered that the little princess Wan'an had always lived in seclusion, she was the most insignificant person in the entire harem.

Since the palace change, the prince and princess had died all over the place, but this 14-year-old little princess survived.

Shen Muchi's conscience is not considered dead, maybe she thinks that Princess Wan'an's cowardice is not a threat, or maybe she is grateful that her birth is as humble as his own, but she has saved her life so that she can be placed in the palace.

It's just a 14-year-old girl, without parents, in this palace, I'm afraid the situation is not much better than Mu Qingchao.

Mu Qingchao saw that Princess Wan'an was wearing a half-worn peach red satin jacket with pinched flowers, she was standing alone in the snow, her eyes were staring into the distance, her shoulders were covered with snow, Didn't move a bit.

Even when the first emperor was around, Princess Wan'an was not favored, so the clothes on her body were not as bright as Mu Qing's.

Mu Qingchao remembered that Princess Wan'an in history finally embarked on the road of marriage.

At the age of 16, he left his hometown in a sedan chair and traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers. Since then, he has leaned against the snow-capped mountains and looked at his hometown in the distance, and he has never returned once until his death.

Thinking of such an ending, Mu Qingchao sighed.

Thinking of this, she raised a smile and walked towards her.

"Princess Wan'an, what are you doing here?"

When Princess Wan'an saw Mu Qingchao, a frightened look flashed in her eyes.

"Too... Queen Mother..."

She bowed obediently: "See...the queen mother..."

Looking at the entire harem, Princess Wan'an is probably the only one who can salute Mu Qingchao so neatly.

They are both poor people, but Mu Qingchao felt a sense of sympathy for each other.

"It's the twelfth lunar month, what are you doing here alone?"

Mu Qingchao asked, just as he finished speaking, he saw a person walking in front of them.

A handsome man, dressed in white like snow...
