The first-level Zhaohua Thousand-level Hall

Chapter 119 You dare to threaten the miscellaneous family
Xu Qingluo didn't know the conversation and entanglement between Gong Ziyan and Lang Sheng after she left, she was in a good mood, after all, she heard clearly the promise the man told Fu Yingying, and The decision has always been kept in my heart.

Baicao obviously noticed that Xu Qingluo was in a good mood, and looked at her curiously. She couldn't help but want to ask her miss and Lang Sheng what they said about being in such a good mood. As for the general's marriage, I just thought that there were still many things that Xu Qingluo needed to deal with in the previous banquet. So tell the lady to rest assured.

Thinking of this, Baicao's footsteps became faster and faster. She only cared about the up and down, but didn't notice the figure in front of her. Xu Qingluo was still able to hear and see clearly, and she stretched out her hand to pull Baicao, and the little maid staggered and was pulled by her. When he got to the side, and the direction the little maid was facing, with an oops, a woman fell to the ground with the things in her hand.

Before Xu Qingluo and Baicao said anything, the woman who rushed out from the corner first had already pre-empted the attack, and asked directly: "Where are you serving people, are you so handy, don't you have eyes? Damn Your Highness All of my clothes fell on the floor, if a corner is worn out, can you afford to pay for it? You can’t even pay for it with your life!"

Just after hearing these domineering words, Xu Qingluo knew that the other party must be one of the palace ladies who came with Shengjia, but he didn't know if it was true or not. Have other thoughts?
Xu Qingluo glanced at the lanterns hanging on the big trees on both sides of his head, looked at the court lady who was still yelling at the palace lady who was trying to attract everyone, and sneered: "I don't know who you are! The people around His Highness, it's just that since you are so anxious, anxious and blind, you don't care about the road and you are in a hurry, why do you have time to mess with us now?"

"you!"

The cursing lady's face froze at Xu Qingluo's blunt words, she raised her head abruptly and stared at Xu Qingluo: "Do you know who I am?"

"I only know that you are not the master from the palace, but the servants who served others scolded the decent master of the Xu family. I don't know which master's servant the girl is. It is unreasonable to be so domineering and unreasonable." Don't be afraid to discredit your master."

Xu Qingluo approached the woman step by step, and Baicao was already stunned. In her heart, people who came to the palace, not to mention the master, even the maids and eunuchs could not afford to offend: "Miss."

Baicao grabbed Xu Qingluo's hand subconsciously, wanting her not to provoke him.

Xu Qingluo held Baicao's hand instead, patted it reassuringly, and walked up to the palace lady who had already stood up. Under the other's staring eyes, she suddenly smiled: "I don't know what you are doing?" Is it true that I don’t know my identity or I don’t know that I’m just a servant, but I want to remind you, if you want to plot against others, be careful to count yourself in!”

How much Xu Qingluo has experienced in the palace in her previous life, even though this woman really seems to be rather domineering, even if no one in the holy car should target her specifically, Xu Qingluo still feels that there is nothing wrong with being careful. , Thinking about not spending anything is better than not wanting to be someone's scapegoat for no reason at all.

Xu Qingluo looked into the faintly terrified eyes of the court lady, stretched out her hand and patted the other person's shoulder, then greeted Baicao, and then walked towards the banquet.

Sure enough, there was no one chasing after him, Xu Qingluo's face was full of thoughtfulness, Baicao couldn't help but asked: "Miss, are you okay? From what the woman said, it seems to be some highness If the people around you offend her"

"It is useless to blindly avoid things. Some things, when they come to the head, can only be faced. It is best to give the other party a head-on blow. They have already regarded us as soft persimmons. At this time, blindly giving in will only make people It's better to make the other party feel suspicious."

In that case, the other party should have made more preparations. In fact, many plans, the more elaborate they are, the more they have experienced too many hands, the more they think about it, the easier it is to be found out. Those methods in the harem, Xu Qing Luo has always felt that the most terrifying thing is not all kinds of precise calculations, but the brutal method of directly suppressing it.

If a person needs to use various means to harm others, it just means that the other party's power is not as great as you imagined, at least not able to cover the sky with one hand, and he can harm whoever he wants.

Xu Qingluo didn't know whether the other party's Highness was true or false, and which one it was. This time, there were only two sons who came with the emperor, one prince and one nine princes. The prince had intersected with him during the day, maybe Something happened, what the Ninth Prince said——

Xu Qingluo stopped in her tracks, turned her head, and looked deeply at the direction she came from. If that woman was really someone next to the Ninth Prince, maybe things were more complicated than she imagined.

Just now, she seemed to smell a strange smell from the woman's body, but because the breath was too shallow, she couldn't tell what it was.

"Miss?"

Baicao didn't know what Xu Qingluo was looking at, and she didn't know what Xu Qingluo's words meant just now, but because of the calmness and composure in Xu Qingluo's words, unconsciously, she felt that she was no longer so afraid.

"Forget it, let's go."

Xu Qingluo smiled blankly, and gave instructions to Baicao.

No matter who the palace maid was, whether the collision with her was a coincidence or an accident, the soldiers always came to cover it up. She Xu Qingluo has experienced so many life and death disasters, and she doesn't care about a few more enemies.

-

With great difficulty, Xu Qingluo helped Xu Liang direct the servants in the family, arranged the seats at the banquet, and the order and time of serving the drinks and dishes on the table were almost arranged. Seeing that the banquet could be announced, Xu Liang couldn't help it. I asked Xu Qingluo: "Luo'er, do you think our arrangement here is still a little too simple? Your Majesty's banquet, there should be some singing and dancing to add to the fun, and those dishes and drinks, too. They were all bought from restaurants in the city, hey, in case His Majesty is not satisfied."

As soon as Xu Liang thought of the ostentation he saw with the emperor, he felt more and more guilty. His garden looked very good before, and he thought that he would not be rude if he didn’t compare it with the capital, but The attention to detail and the look in the eyes of the people who served the emperor made Xu Liang feel uneasy.

He didn't want to make the emperor comfortable and let the Xu family do something. He was always clear-headed. His family was just an ordinary family. Xu Jiaxiao couldn't afford her favor.

The only thing he worries about now is that the emperor is dissatisfied. At that time, it will be fine if there is no favor, but it will cause disasters instead. That is really not worth it.

Seeing Xu Liang's worried look, Xu Qingluo felt distressed in his heart. His father had put in so much unnecessary trouble for this job of welcoming the driver, and he could only hope that the emperor would live here in peace for a few days. , Get out early.

Thinking from the bottom of my heart, I still whispered comfort in my mouth: "Father, since Your Majesty has come to our Xu family, he naturally knows our Xu family. To be honest, we have already tried our best in this garden. No matter how much, don't say we take If you can’t get it out, even if you can get it out, you don’t dare, for a saint, unusual wealth is never a good thing.”

More importantly, you are so devoted to please the emperor, what are you asking for?
The sage was suspicious, Xu Qingluo believed that before he came, he would definitely get rid of the Xu family's investigation, and the garden could be said to be full of family wealth. If the dishes and drinks were prepared to exceed, and the banquet would be richer and richer, the Xu family would not be happy. It left a shadow in the eyes of the emperor.

That shadow is not a good shadow.

It might even involve Lang Sheng.

Xu Qingluo has always been aware of these things and these taboos, otherwise, she would not flatly reject the golden ten thousand taels sent by Mu Qingren, and she would not have received the holy car from the son Yan's gang in the first place. I am so busy.

Fortune comes and misfortune lies, and misfortune lies.

The peace, tranquility and stability of the Xu family is the best. If there is any more, it is cooking oil with a fire and roasting it on the fire.

Especially now that the Xu family has a relationship with Lang Sheng, they have to be more careful with every move they make.

Xu Liang listened to Xu Qingluo's words, turned his head to look at the banquet venue that looked a little bustling with lights and red candles, and shuddered: "Yes, Luo'er, you are right. I was thinking too much , Now that this is the case, our Xu family has done their best, and I think His Majesty will not blame anything even if he knows."

As Xu Liang talked, his expression was deliberately relaxed.

-

Officials and aristocrats who followed the emperor to Wuzhou City had already attended the table one after another. These people all had serious expressions on their faces, especially when facing those local officials and gentry in Wuzhou City, their eyes fell on the top of their heads.

The officials and gentry of Wuzhou City were indignant in their hearts, but they dared not say anything more. After all, even the city lord with the highest status in Wuzhou City in name was cautious when facing officials from the capital, even a bachelor from the Imperial Academy. The expression of apologetic smile, as the saying goes, the seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister, and the officials from the capital, no matter how low-rank, can follow the emperor to come here for such a long time, which shows that the other party still has some face in front of the emperor. As long as he has some status in front of the emperor and can say something, he will be the one who has to bow his head before he recovers. It's just that his behavior is not only looked down upon by the officials in the capital, but also by those in Wuzhou City. All the officials and gentry felt ashamed.

Fu Yingying lowered her head and sat far away on the seat of the female relatives. Mrs. Fu looked at her closely and refused to let her take a step outside. For a while Fu Mingqian and Mrs. Fu both watched her very closely, but they still failed. Sitting here now, Fu Yingying felt very embarrassed, feeling that everyone around her was talking about her, laughing at her, and they were all talking about her. Talking and laughing about her broken hand, she also heard those people making fun of Fumingqian's pretentious attitude, her face turned red, and she wanted to refute, but she couldn't say anything, because even Fuyingying didn't like Fumingqian's pretentious attitude. The act of stomping all of one's face to the ground.

She clenched her fists, obviously she used to be the daughter of the city lord envied by everyone in Wuzhou City, and she used to have some face in front of the emperor before Fuming, but all of this was destroyed by Xu Qingluo and the Xu family. Since Qingluo came to Wuzhou City, there was no peace for them to return home.

Xu Qingluo, Xu Qingluo!

There is deep hatred in Fu Yingying's eyes: Why don't you die!
The banquet hadn't officially started yet, but most of the people had already taken their seats. The officials and nobles who lived in the capital for this banquet were indeed not lively enough and not luxurious enough, but many people nodded their heads for the arrangements made by the Xu Mansion.

A Xu family without an official background can arrange seats for officials according to their grades and functions without any mistakes, and they have not made any mistakes until now. Those maids and servants are considered to be well-mannered. There is a sense of Jiangnan scenery in the painting, and the exquisite and beautiful lanterns are hung on the corridor, just these, let the body feel the intentions.

The emperor suddenly changed his mind and came to the Xu family, at least it wasn't too bad.

Some people couldn't help talking about the Xu family. Some people started, and naturally some people continued. When talking about the Xu family, some of them remembered the emperor's decree to praise the daughters of the Xu family in Huai County a few months ago: "I just don't know This is the Xu family."

"The daughter of the Xu family has heard that she has excellent medical skills, and the Xu family has heard that they have a medicine hall, so they probably do. Otherwise, there would be such a coincidence."

"This Xu family doesn't know how to be capable."

After all, although the Xu family has merits, if no one listens to them, let alone rewarding them with honor and favor, something might go wrong in the end and even lose their wealth and life, but the Xu family is so lucky.

"Maybe there are people in the court."

A civil official glanced at the military commander's seat with ambiguous eyes. Although Lang Sheng didn't say much about Xu Qingluo in front of the emperor, the most indispensable thing in the court was human spirit. Which can play a lot of role.

As a general, Lang Sheng was naturally not liked by civil servants. Now, more people joined in the discussion, saying that women have a strong desire to gossip, but in fact, men gossip sometimes quite enthusiastically.

Before Fuming, he heard the people around him talking about the Xu family and Xu Qingluo, and he felt a burst of anger in his heart. He seemed to be smiling, and he responded when others asked, but in fact he was ruthless. Talk about it, talk about it, the Xu family The current scenery is borrowed from the Fu family, but it is either from the Xu family or it is not from the Xu family. After a while, whether it is Xu Qingluo or the entire Xu family, how high they are seen by others now, they will fall down later How miserable it is.

There was a sneer on Fuming's front lips.

Xu Qingluo looked at the seemingly orderly banquet, and heaved a sigh of relief. She didn't need these people to be too satisfied. As long as she couldn't find any obvious faults, she would be considered to have completed the task, or else it was a hot potato. To welcome the emperor into the mansion, not only to meet the emperor, but also to follow the officials, nobles, concubines and palace people around the emperor, and even to deal with the emperor's thoughts, it is simply too bad.

Most of the people had entered the banquet and took their seats, waiting for the emperor. Lang Sheng didn't come, he took the soldiers under him to set up protection, the more this kind of banquet was held, the more he couldn't sit down , the more cautious you must be.

Xu Qingluo had another reason to be dissatisfied with the emperor who was just looking for trouble.

Xu Qingluo didn't wait for the emperor to take the seat, and the banquet started smoothly. Instead, a group of aggressive guards arrived.

"Ms. Xu?"

"I'm."

Xu Qingluo narrowed his eyes slightly. Facing this large group of people who obviously looked like they came with bad intentions, not only was he not afraid in his heart, but he felt like the dust had settled.

Ever since she met that palace man, no, ever since the emperor ordered the banquet, Xu Qingluo had some inexplicable anxiety and doubts in her heart. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't grasp it accurately. Instead, she was able to find a way to avoid it.

The leading eunuch's face was gloomy, and he waved his hand back: "Come here, take it to our family! Send it to Mr. Wang of the Punishment Department, and have a good trial!"

Baicao's frightened face was all pale: "Our lady did not commit a crime, why, why arrest our lady?"

She was at a loss looking at all this, and she didn't know how to take down her young lady. Even though she was scared to death, she still tried her best to say such a thing boldly.

Although she didn't know where the Punishment Department was, she felt chills just listening to it.

The leading eunuch's eyes darkened: "Bold maidservant, seeing that you are close to Mrs. Xu, let's go to the Punishment Department together—"

"Eunuch! This is the Xu family, not the palace!"

Xu Qingluo's expression turned cold, facing the several hands grabbed towards him, he swayed and dodged away. When the other party was angry and wanted to grab again, the leading eunuch looked at him with disdain. Zhong opened his mouth: "My father-in-law, I don't know what I did to cause this incident, but I think that your Majesty is wise and powerful, so I will not wrong people for no reason, and I will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. It is a great honor for the Xu family to welcome Shengjia. The youngest daughter is the daughter of the Xu family, so she is also extremely honored. Everyone in Wuzhou City knows that the Xu family has been blessed by the holy grace. It is a loyal one, if there is any mistake, it must be a misunderstanding, the little girl thinks about her father-in-law and doesn't want the saint to bear the reputation of killing loyal people for no reason."

Xu Qingluo's words seem to be praising the emperor, but they are actually threatening the other party. No matter what the emperor means, Wuzhou City will see the Xu family welcoming the holy driver. If she is Xu Qingluo, she will be arrested and taken away carefully If the Xing Si wants to convict the Xu family without even telling her what happened, if something happens in Wuzhou City, the emperor will be fine, but the person in charge of arresting people in front of him may not be so.

Xu Qingluo has been in the court for many years, and he knows what the Punishment Department is. The prince's subordinates have been around for a while, and they have been charged even if they were not charged. In that place, the most people died unjustly and were tortured.

Some people at the banquet over there have already noticed this side. Someone originally wanted to come over to have a look, but after seeing the chief eunuch who seemed to have come here with his guards opposite Xu Qingluo, he put his own Heads were lowered, everyone was not a fool, they all guessed in their hearts that something had happened, but before recovering, they took a deep breath, suppressed the joy in their hearts forcibly, and it was done!

Over there: "Mrs. Xu! How dare you threaten our family!"

The chief eunuch's face was so gloomy that water would drip out.

"Father-in-law, my daughter just wants you, me, hello, everyone. To be able to mobilize so many people, and to make His Majesty so angry, it must have been a big deal. My daughter really didn't know what happened, so she went to the police station for punishment." The secretary is also useless, in the end it can't appease the saint's wrath, and the people around His Majesty will have a hard time, the little girl is not talented, if she is lucky enough to help His Majesty relieve her worries, the father-in-law can also be valued."

Xu Qingluo took a step forward, and lowered his voice to the chief eunuch.

Hello everyone, if you want to impress this person, just coercion is not enough, you also need to lure, Xu Qingluo doesn't have so much wealth to lure, these people around the emperor, even if they are really rich, that's just Treating the symptoms but not the root cause is most likely to increase the appetite of the other party, and it will also bring trouble to the Xu family.

A better way is to tie the other party and yourself into the same boat, my interests are your interests, and Xu Qingluo believes that as long as she is given a chance, as long as there is room for change, no matter which side goes wrong, she will There will always be a way.

"Heh, how can our family believe that the words of a young girl can solve so many problems that even the imperial doctors can't solve?"

"Father-in-law, Luo'er has excellent medical skills. He once rescued many people from the plague in Huai County. His Majesty also ordered him to say that his medical skills are very good, and his hands are rejuvenated. Let Luo'er take a look at the red rash on the Ninth Prince's body. There is a solution, if the father-in-law is worried that His Majesty will blame him, Lang Sheng is willing to guarantee Xu's daughter."

Lang Sheng hurried over, ignoring the eyes of the people behind him, he stood in front of Xu Qingluo without hesitation, and clasped his fists at the eunuch leader.

That father-in-law glanced at Langcheng and Xu Qingluo, thinking that Xu Qingluo had indeed won the emperor's imperial decree and the other party's words, and also thought of Langcheng's recent favor in front of the emperor, he slowly put his hands together. Put it into the sleeves: "Forget it, Mrs. Xu, our family will bring you to His Majesty for the sake of General Lang. If you can really relieve the suffering of His Highness Ninth Prince, His Majesty will not treat you badly. If not if"

He snorted softly, knowing that his father-in-law's eyes had already told Xu Qingluo that if he failed, the result might be even more embarrassing than it is now.

Xu Qingluo didn't say anything yet, but Lang Sheng lowered his voice to reassure Xu Qingluo: "Don't worry, I have everything!"

The girl turned her head to look at the man's solemn expression, there was no fear in her eyes, only a little smile.

She is naturally not afraid. No matter what the rules are today, those who frame her will always have to pay the price.

If her father-in-law came directly to arrest her, Xu Qingluo would not feel that there was no reason.
