The Prime Minister's Wife

Chapter 221 Meeting the Empress Dowager (1)
Runcheng, the imperial capital of Xiaohe Kingdom.

Mu Zhaoming stepped into the imperial study room indifferently. The imperial study room is not very big, but it is decorated elegantly and solemnly without losing its atmosphere and luxury. On the shelves on both sides inside, there are various memorials and official documents, neatly arranged, and there are some shelves There are various scrolls on the table, and several precious vases with different patterns are placed in the closet, and some of the vases are filled with broken flowers.

There are also calligraphy and paintings of the emperor hanging on the wall, as well as a few calligraphy and paintings handed down by celebrities from the previous dynasty. Most of them are clear green, which makes people feel refreshed.

Wang Hai, the great eunuch next to the emperor, opened the curtain for them, and saw Xiao Yu lowering his eyes slightly, standing beside him quietly, with a respectful attitude, but it did not affect his natural noble temperament at all. Behind the table where the memorial was placed, was Today's Zixiao and Guoyan Emperor - Xiaojing.

It seems that the emperor has just retired from the early court, and the emperor has already changed into a crimson dragon robe that he usually wears at home. He is sitting behind the desk and looking at an urgent memorial in his hand. A warm silhouette.

Inside the cauldron engraved with dragon patterns, the tranquil fragrance of ambergris permeated the whole room. Mu Zhaoming stepped forward to salute, and stood aside with a blank expression.

The emperor handed over the memorial in his hand, and said with a warm smile on his face: "The urgent report from the eldest prince, the prince and Mr. Mu, take a look and see if there is any solution."

At this moment, Xiao Yu looked at the warm smile on the emperor's face, but behind his back was a deep chill, a chill in his heart, he was always probing and finding out his faults.

This seemingly trusting, but actually full of suspicion made him feel a helpless fatigue, but he didn't show the slightest bit on his face.

At this time, Mu Zhaoming was a little absent-minded...

At the intersection twenty miles away from Runcheng, a convoy of trains is slowly moving forward on the official road, and the green bamboos on both sides are still extremely green in the golden autumn and October.

Bo Qing sat in the carriage and spent nearly a month in the carriage. No matter how careful and thoughtful Mu Zhaoming's arrangements were along the way, she also felt tedious and tired.

Fortunately, it was not far from Runcheng at this time, and Boqing was lazily lying on the thick and soft fur blanket. Jin'er took a rhinoceros horn comb and combed her long hair, and said happily: "Young Madam , and another twenty miles away, we will arrive at Runcheng, where we can finally have a good rest."

Bo Qing nodded lightly, never left Fengdu since he was born, thinking about what he saw and heard on the road these days, which was much better than what he saw and heard before, he couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart: "Reading thousands of books, It’s better to travel thousands of miles.”

Jin'er brushed her tender long hair and said, "Young madam, this place is not far from Runcheng, do you want to wash up now?"

Shaking his head, he said softly and lazily: "Get water, wash your face, and don't need anything else." Just go home, don't need to be too grand.

Jin'er ordered someone to bring warm water, twisted the handkerchief and cleaned Boqing's face herself, then took out the moisturizing balm, and spread it evenly on Boqing's face, just sweeping the crescent eyebrows lightly, making her eyes look like two green springs, clear and quiet cold and dark.

The team stopped suddenly, and Mu Jue's voice came from outside: "Young Madam, there are people fighting in front."

The flirtatious willow eyebrows raised slightly. At this time, it seemed a little unreasonable for someone to fight here. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Order the team to stop and rest where they are."

A cold and slightly hoarse voice floated out from the carriage, and the accompanying people immediately knew that Bo Qing didn't want to get involved, so Feng Bo immediately sent an order to let everyone rest where they were.

The jade finger lightly tapped on the small table, and he said softly, "Mu Jue, can you see clearly who is fighting?"

Mu Jue was slightly taken aback: "Mrs. Hui, a group of men in black are besieging a carriage, and many guards have been killed or injured." There was more hesitation in his tone.

Because his master was summoned by the emperor suddenly, he and Mu Mie couldn't go out of the city to pick up the young lady in person. The two of them were ordered to come to greet them, and they didn't expect such a thing to happen on the way.

The guard, coupled with Mu Jue's tone, raised an eyebrow tenderly. It seems that the identity of the people in the carriage is not simple.

Runcheng is no better than being in Fengdu City, this is not her territory, and it is better for them not to interfere in some matters.

All of a sudden, I heard Boqing's emotionless voice floating out: "Unless the other party comes to ask for help, otherwise... you are not allowed to make a move." Mu Jue and Mu Mie waited outside, and after listening to Boqing's words, they couldn't help but secretly relax. In one breath, he agreed, and stood on both sides of the carriage.

Boqing listened intently to the sound of fighting not far away, thought for a while and said: "Jin'er, comb my hair, but don't put it in a high bun, it will make my scalp hurt."

Jin'er responded, quickly took out the dowry, picked up the comb and gently combed her flirtatious long hair.

At this time, Bo Qing's hair was already knee-length, so she should wear a woman's hair in a bun, but Bo Qing was still a young girl when she married into the Mu family, so she still wears her hair in a girl's bun.

The dexterous hands are behind Bo Qing's back, and the skillfully entangled hair, after a while, the beautiful and simple hair blooms on the back of Bo Qing's head, and the rest of the long hair is still braided, hanging on the chest at will, and then the bangs on the forehead Separate, after dyeing the hair, gently pin it behind the ear with a sip, and turn the childishness brought by the braid into the charm of a girl.

He took out two hairpins inlaid with gold and jade, and when Jin'er was about to put them on for her, Qingyu caressed her hair and said lightly: "The clothes are already bright red, and using gold and jade is too ostentatious. Squeeze a black hosta."

Jin'er hesitated and said: "Young Madam is still young, isn't it too plain to dress like this?"

Bo'er took a closer look at the side and said: "This servant girl thinks that the young madam is very good, noble and generous, yet calm, like a housewife."

bang bang...

Suddenly there was the sound of swords and swords intersecting, followed by a woman's urgent cry for help: "Help, help!"

Then there was the man's threatening voice: "I advise you not to meddle in your own business, or I will kill you too." Then there was the sound of weapons clashing.

Boqing asked Bo'er to lift up one side of the car curtain, sit in the middle, and watch from a distance.

I saw a group of men in black chasing and killing a lady in her 60s, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl with gorgeous clothes and a noble temperament, holding a sword in her hand. The guards behind them were desperately resisting those men in black , it was the girl who asked for help just now.

After looking at it carefully for a while, Boqing put down the curtain and put it next to Bo'er's ear, and whispered a few words before saying: "Don't meddle in your own business, just stop them, just don't let them come over."

Bo'er immediately got out, and a pretty voice sounded: "The master is here, everyone pay more attention to protect the master." Then he said to Mu Jue: "We will bring people to the front to stop them, and others will let them rush over. The master was shocked." Mu Jue and Mu Mie immediately had a flash of doubt in their eyes, and they still obediently led the people to the front of the team, and Bo'er followed behind.
