Ning Chen loves his wife

Chapter 651 Who do you think the child will be like?
The fifth princess, who was completely neglected, looked at the much-loved Persian cat on the queen mother's lap, and interjected with a smile like a flower: "What Mother Yao said is very true, cats eat too much sweets, not only have bad teeth, but also get sick."

The queen mother immediately took back the snacks and reached out to pat the cat's head. "Did you hear that? If you always eat what you shouldn't eat, you will get sick..."

Fifth Princess: Why does she feel that the Queen Mother's words imply a deep meaning, that she is warning her?
Her Majesty lifted the cat from her lap to the ground.

The snow-white cat immediately ran out of the gate of the palace, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The Queen Mother didn't have to worry, because there were two maids outside the palace who specially took care of the cat and watched it closely.

The queen mother casually threw the pastry that had been licked by the cat on the table.

Nanny Yao immediately stepped forward and took out a handkerchief to wipe the queen mother's fingers carefully, but found that the fingers were still a little greasy and could not be wiped clean, so she put away the handkerchief and looked at the queen mother and asked for instructions: "This old servant will get some water to clean your hands. .”

"En." The Queen Mother responded lightly, and Nanny Yao turned around and left the hall.

The Empress Dowager took a sip of the teacup, then looked at the fifth princess and asked, "Just now you said that some young eunuchs randomly arranged Zhuo girl's right and wrong?"

The fifth princess nodded and put on an indignant look. "They actually said that Sister Nan was greedy for money, and she accepted a heavy gift from the eldest son of the Ministry of Punishment, and wanted Master Jing to be merciful when investigating the case of the Minister of Punishment. Huiyi couldn't be angry, so she taught those mouths a lesson. The broken little eunuch will have a meal."

After listening to the Queen Mother, she said lightly: "In the future, if you encounter such a thing, you don't need to work hard to teach me a lesson, just order people to drag it down and kill it."

"...Yes, Huiyi follows the teachings of the emperor's grandmother."

"Well, you must be tired after serving Ai's family for a long time, go back and rest."

"No, Huiyi will leave." The fifth princess gracefully bowed to the Queen Mother and then retreated.After leaving the gate of the main hall, the personal palace maid Cistanche immediately followed.

The fifth princess took cistanche all the way out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and kept recalling the look of the queen mother just now, but found that the queen mother was scheming, her expression was as indifferent as water from the beginning to the end, and she didn't show any flaws. She didn't know whether the other party had been tricked or not !

She intended to say this on purpose to cause the Empress Dowager to dislike Zhuo Nan.

After all, the queen mother wanted to avenge Mrs. Zhuo and deal with the prime minister, so she took the Minister of the Ministry of punishment first.

Zhuo Nan accepted the heavy gift from Tong's house, which was obviously against the Queen Mother.

I don't know if she succeeded in sowing dissension!

In the main hall, Nanny Yao personally brought a bottle of warm water, and helped the Queen Mother take off finger cots for her to clean her hands. "Queen, what fun did the fifth princess tell you?"

"It's nothing, the little girl has a serious heart and wants to sow discord, but it's just a child's play." The Queen Mother said indifferently.

Nanny Yao washed the Empress Dowager's fingers with a piece of silk, then took out an absorbent cotton cloth and helped the Empress Dowager's hands to absorb the water stains little by little.

It is true that the cotton cloth is gently pressed on the queen mother's fingers, so that the cotton cloth will automatically absorb the water stains on it, instead of roughly wiping to avoid hurting the queen mother's well-maintained skin.

"That's because she relied on your favor to be so presumptuous." These five princesses became more and more unruly and forgot their identities.

The Empress Dowager said casually: "The Ai family has no child, and the first time they saw her, they liked this child, and have always raised her as their own daughter.

Her mother and concubine died early, and the emperor doted on her for the sake of Ai's family.

When I was young, I had a cute mouth and a sweet mouth, and I liked to cling to Aijia so well, now when I grow up, I will plot against Aijia.

Alas, it is really not my own, so I am not familiar with it. "

Mother Yao heard the imperceptible disappointment in the Queen Mother's words, and said in relief: "Queen Mother, after Mrs. Jing is pregnant and gives birth to the eldest son of the first full moon, you will take him into the palace to raise him. At that time, he will only recognize you, Queen Mother, and will not see you all year round. Mrs. Jing and Lord Jing will only get close to you."

The queen mother finally showed a look of expectation.Looking at Nanny Yao's longing face, she asked, "Who do you think the child will be like?"

Nanny Yao flattered: "Of course I look like you, Queen Mother."

The queen mother scolded with a smile: "You are just like other slaves who only tell lies to flatter Aijia."

Nanny Yao shook her head. "Every sentence of this old slave is true. He said that his son is like his mother, and like Mrs. Jing, isn't he like you?"

The queen mother smiled sincerely, and even squeezed out the frown from the corners of her eyes happily.

Prime Minister's Mansion, outside the study door.

Third Aunt came in from the courtyard gate carrying a tonic.

Steward Zhou immediately went up to greet her and bowed his head in salute. "Third aunt."

The third aunt handed the white porcelain cup containing the tonic to Butler Zhou. "Could the butler bring it in to the master, and I won't disturb the master's handling of official documents." Turning around and leaving.

Steward Zhou smelled the fragrance wafting from the white porcelain cup, and swallowed a little greedily.

Although the third aunt is not as attractive as the fifth aunt in appearance, and not as intelligent as the madam, she is the only woman who is willing to wash her hands and make soup for the master!Even so, he still didn't like San Yiniang's innocent and almost stupid temperament.

Holding the white porcelain cup in one hand, he knocked on the door of the study room with the other, and after waiting for a while even if he didn't hear the prime minister's permission, he pushed open the door of the study room and walked in.

Seeing the prime minister sitting behind the desk reviewing official documents, and putting the white porcelain cup on the table beside him, he walked a few steps towards the prime minister and said, "Master, Third Aunt has brought you some supplements."

"En." The prime minister replied without raising his head, and continued to process the official documents with his head down.It wasn't until everything was processed that he stood up, walked around the desk, walked to the side table and sat down to enjoy the tonic.

With his back facing the prime minister, housekeeper Zhou sorted out the official documents that had just been processed, and he cleaned up the messy desk in a short while.

Only then did he turn around and walk to the prime minister's side to listen to his orders, watching him eat the nourishing wolfberry pigeon soup stewed by San Yiniang himself.

With a small cup of pigeon soup and two or three pieces of meat, an average strong man would be gone in two mouthfuls. The prime minister had to eat for more than a quarter of an hour to finish it.

Steward Zhou immediately handed over the handkerchief, and after the prime minister took it, he was busy putting the bones on the table into a white porcelain cup and covering it, and finally cleaned up the table.

After the prime minister wiped his mouth, he put his handkerchief on the table, butler Zhou immediately picked it up and stuffed it into his cuff.

Seeing that the prime minister seemed to be in a good mood, he took the opportunity to ask: "My lord, the young miss has received a great gift from the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. I am afraid that the elder uncle will not be diligently investigating the case of the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, but you have already turned against him, slave." If you are worried that Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice will betray you, why not..." There was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

The prime minister looked at Steward Zhou and chuckled. "You're overthinking. There is no evidence left for any important event between the truth and the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice. As for the evidence that can be found, it doesn't implicate the truth at all.

Unless he reveals the things Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment helped Benxiang do, if so, his whole family will be copied and beheaded.

A wise man would only sacrifice himself to protect his family. He asked his eldest son Tong Yuwen to give gifts to Jing Rong, just to protect his family.

If you attack him rashly, you will drive him into a panic and choose to kill him. "
