Chapter 235 The Emperor’s Instructions
  Shen Zhuoxi looked confused.
  In the past few days, she had not received anything from the Queen Mother, nor had she heard that the Queen Mother had given her anything.
  However, it is also possible that the people below helped put it away and forgot to tell her.
  She turned her head and looked towards Huizhi, who hurriedly said: "Miss, the servants have not received them yet."
  "Didn't you receive it?" Looking at the reactions of several people, the Queen Mother knew that the thing must not have been in her hands, and her originally smiling face suddenly collapsed: "I can't handle even a small thing."
  "Forget about other things on weekdays, the Ai family dares to delay the dowry gift list for you. It seems that the Ai family is too indulgent."
  The more the Queen Mother thought about it, the angrier she became. She turned her head and told Sister Guirong: "This matter is left to Hua Rong. Go find her and ask her what's going on!"
  Seeing that the Queen Mother was angry, Sister Guirong did not dare to delay and hurried away.
  Shen Zhuoxi comforted her and said, "Don't be angry, Queen Mother. Maybe it's the Ghost Festival, and there's a reception banquet held for the Rongqiang people, so it was delayed for a while."
  "You still speak for them." The Queen Mother scratched the tip of her nose and said, "That's the dowry gift list for you, aren't you angry?"
  "Why are you so angry?" Shen Zhuoxi showed the shyness of a little daughter and said, "The Queen Mother does not need to prepare anything for my daughter. Your love for my daughter is enough."
  "That's what I said, but if others have it, you should also have it." The Queen Mother once again stretched out her hand to pull her over. Their hands overlapped, and the Queen Mother patted them and said.
  "Although the Ai family has not sent anyone to keep an eye on the Grand Master's Mansion in these years, they still know a little bit about it. Shen Heshan has gone from a poor scholar with nothing to the Grand Master who is now inferior to one person and more than ten thousand people."
  "He has long been accustomed to seeking fame and reputation. The Imperial Master's Mansion is full of hypocrisy and aloofness. He doesn't have much money on hand. Apart from raising several other children, how much dowry can he prepare for you?"
  "It's the easiest thing for you. You've been ill for many years and the Grand Master's Mansion doesn't have to take care of anything. Now you want the Grand Master's Mansion to give you something, but unfortunately he can't give you anything."
  Shen Zhuoxi lowered her head, her long eyelashes covering her eyes, hiding the emotions in her eyes.
  The Queen Mother really regarded her as her granddaughter, whether it was because of Princess Xiaoqing or other reasons.
  It's a pity that the original owner died long ago.
  Since she enjoys everything that belongs to the original owner, she must seek justice for Shen Zhuoxi who died.
  Shen Xinyu is nothing, it's still early, including Shen Heshan, all have to pay the price for what happened before!
  The Queen Mother said, but when she didn't answer, she asked suspiciously: "Why did your hands suddenly get cold? Is it because there are too many ice basins in the house?"
  "No." Shen Zhuoxi adjusted his emotions and raised his head with a layer of mist in his eyes: "How virtuous and capable I am, I must have been blessed in my previous life to be able to treat the Queen Mother like this."
  "You are talking about these things." The Queen Mother looked at Shen Zhuoxi, and through her increasingly beautiful features, she seemed to see other people: "When your mother got married, the Ai family prepared a dowry for her in accordance with the etiquette of a princess. .”
  "When I get to your place, I can't miss it. You can take a look at the dowry list later and take it back to show the old lady at home!"
  Shen Zhuoxi knew the Empress Dowager's intention in doing this, and also wanted to knock the Taishi's house, so he said along the way: "Thank you, the Empress Dowager, for your love."
  While talking, Grandma Guirong had already brought Hua Rong over.
  Hua Rong was full of panic, and it could be seen that she was very scared.
  The Queen Mother could tell at a glance that she was afraid, and snorted coldly: "If you only have this little courage, why can't you even do what the Ai family ordered?"
  "The Queen Mother." Hua Rong couldn't withstand the pressure after all, and knelt on the ground, saying, "I know I was wrong, but I have no choice but to do it."
  "Stop talking nonsense!" Aunt Guirong quickly scolded: "The Queen Mother's instructions, you dare not slack off at any last resort unless you are lazy!"
  "Servant, slave..." Hua Rong murmured, and whispered in her heart: "It was the Queen who stopped the gift list, not that I was lazy and refused to send it!"
  The Queen Mother's expression changed slightly, she let go of Shen Zhuoxi's hand, leaned forward and asked, "Queen?"
  "Yes, I don't dare to lie." Hua Rong's tone was firm and trembling: "When I took the things and was about to leave the palace to go to the Grand Master's Mansion, Yaya from the Queen's side came over and said that the Empress had something urgent to do with me."
  "My servant, hurry over. I didn't expect the Queen to ask about the gift list. I didn't dare to say anything more. The Queen took the gift list, looked at it, and buttoned it up."
  "You didn't say it was the Queen Mother who ordered you to be escorted out of the palace?" Grandma Guirong asked quickly after seeing the Queen Mother's bad expression.
  Hua Rong nodded and said: "My slave said so, but the Queen Mother said she knew, and also said that the gift list was temporarily placed with her, and there were some things to discuss with the Queen Mother."
  Aunt Guirong hated the fact that iron cannot become steel, and said: "If such a big thing happens, don't you know how to come back and report it?"
  "I don't dare." Hua Rong burst into tears and said timidly: "The Queen warned me not to say anything for now, otherwise I will tell the Queen Mother that it was my laziness that prevented me from giving the gift list to the second lady."
  "Confused!" Sister Guirong scolded: "You have served the Queen Mother for so long, don't you still know who your master is?!"
  She only dared to scold her and didn't want to be reprimanded. After speaking, she looked at the Queen Mother, waiting for reprimand.
  The Queen Mother lightly pressed her hands on the table, a chill filled her brows, and she narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "The queen who was chosen by the Ai family dares to go against the Ai family. That's great."
  "Maybe the Queen is really busy. She is also busy these days and has to receive people sent by the Rongqiang people." Grandma Guirong advised her and said, "How about calling someone here?"
  "Go." The Queen Mother's words were almost squeezed out from between her teeth.
  Shen Zhuoxi comforted her with a few words and said, "The matter is related to my daughter. It's not appropriate for my daughter to be here. Why don't you resign first?"
  "No need." The Queen Mother glanced towards the inner room and said, "You can go in and avoid it, so that you can listen to what the Queen said!"
  The queen came very quickly and knew what the queen mother was looking for. After entering to say hello, she kept squatting and the queen mother didn't ask her to get up.
  "The Ai family can't afford a blessing from you." The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "You are becoming more and more capable now. You don't even need to inform the Ai family when you seize the Ai family's things."
  "In your eyes, the queen mother of the Ai family has long been dispensable, right?"
  "Mom, please calm down." The queen lowered her head and said in a submissive voice, "I did not conceal this matter intentionally. It was the emperor's order, and I also obeyed the emperor's arrangements."
  "I haven't seen you listen to the emperor much before." The Queen Mother glanced at her and said: "Besides, the emperor never interferes in the affairs of the harem, and the dowry prepared by the Ai family for Zhuo Xi is not his business."
  "I'm afraid that you have some idea and want to go against the Ai family."
  The Queen then raised her head and said with a bitter look on her face: "The Queen understands clearly that I dare not use the Emperor as a drag, and deceive the superiors and deceive the inferiors. It is indeed the Emperor's order!"
  "Why did the emperor do this?" Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, the queen mother paused and said, "The Ai family hasn't seen the emperor for some time!"
