After the first fool

Chapter 39
"Tell me, why is the empress making such a fuss today?" Fengqi Palace has been sealed as a cold palace, there is nothing special, is the empress going crazy?
The Queen Mother was the first to not believe it, something must have happened.

Xiao Zhu's heart skipped a beat, and then, as if he had been wronged by the sky, with a bang, he knelt down on the ground, his forehead slamming heavily on the white tiger skin carpet, with the sound of pedaling, a delicate little face crawled Full of tears, "Empress Dowager, you must decide for the empress..."

The Empress Dowager shook her arm and was so frightened that she almost knocked over the tea in her hand. There is no such thing as a master without a slave!The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, why howling?Has Sa Posa come to the Compassion Palace?Did you take her, the queen mother, seriously?
The stronger the anger in my heart, the brighter the smile on the Empress Dowager's face, "Say it well, speak slowly, the Ai family should know clearly, who is the empress angry with?"

Who is it that doesn't have eyesight, and ran to offend that fool again?
"Yes!" Xiao Zhu resisted the tears, and did not wipe the teardrops on his face, letting them fall to the ground one by one. The petite and thin figure looked pitiful in the huge palace of compassion, "Two days later It was the day when the empress returned home, the empress was born stupid, and the servants took care of the matters of returning home, but who knew...the ministers of the Ministry of Rituals refused to prepare gifts for the empress, and even spoke convincingly, saying that it was... Say yes..." Her voice was choked with sobs, she hesitated for a while, but she couldn't continue.

The Queen Mother was annoyed by her crying, and frowned secretly: "What did you say?"

Xiao Zhu raised his head anxiously, and quickly glanced at her, "It's because the empress is not favored, and I don't have the right to ask the Ministry of Rites to take silver taels from the treasury to prepare gifts for returning home."

"Damn it! Is this a rebellion?" The queen mother was so angry that she slapped the table and got up, her face suddenly darkened.

These ministers wanted to find an opportunity to embarrass Mo Xiaoran, did they have to choose this time?

If there is no return gift, not only the face of the fool will be lost, but also their royal one!

"I beg the queen mother to be the master of the empress! Although the empress is born stupid, she has a pure heart. Since becoming a queen, she has been staying in the palace and never left half a step. It can be said that she abides by the palace rules, but she ended up like this. Being despised and looked down upon by others, Empress Dowager, you have always been merciful, I beg you to be the master." Xiaozhu wailed hoarsely, while putting on a high hat for the Empress Dowager, making it clear that she was forcing the Empress Dowager to order Mo Xiaoran to return home Gift.

If you want to bully her lady at will, you have to see if you can afford the price!
A trace of cunning flashed across Xiaozhu's downcast eyes.

It has to be said that where there is a master, there must be a servant!

Xiaozhu followed Mo Xiaoran, completely darkened.

The Empress Dowager took a deep breath, this matter has already reached Ci Ning Gao, and the complaint has been brought before her, besides helping to understand, is there any other way for her to choose?
"So, you encouraged the queen to make trouble in the palace?" The queen mother would not have guessed that the troublemaker was actually Mo Xiaoran, a fool in the eyes of everyone. She wholeheartedly thought that Xiao Zhu was behind the trick.

Xiaozhu shivered, weeping and crying: "Yes! I have no choice but to make the lady better. The queen mother, the lady is the queen of Dongyao, how can those officials be allowed to do this? Neglect? The servant feels uncomfortable."

The Empress Dowager stared at Xiao Zhu's expression, thinking that this court lady would not dare to lie in front of her, so she waved her hand and sat down again, "Okay, the Ai family will handle this matter personally."

"Yes, thank you Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is truly a bodhisattva." Xiaozhu kowtowed heavily, with a look of gratitude.

When Nanny Gui supported Mo Xiaoran and came out from the inner room, the farce finally came to an end. Mo Xiaoran was wearing a pink dress, her messy hair was tied up with a hairpin, her eyes were clear, her face was immature but hard to hide In the future's stately appearance, she jumped up and down to Xiao Zhu's side, and seeing her still kneeling on the ground foolishly, her heart ached.

He pulled Xiaozhu up and protected him behind him, glaring at the queen mother angrily: "Evil woman, don't even try to bully Xiaozhu!"

Evil bitch!
The Empress Dowager's face suddenly turned ferocious, but it eased in an instant, she endured it!
"What is the empress doing? Could it be that the Ai family can still eat this court lady?" The empress dowager scowled and taught.

Seeing her strange expression, Mo Xiaoran looked at Xiao Zhu pretending to be ignorant, and asked in a voice that was not too big or small but enough for everyone present to hear: "Did she really not bully you? Don't be afraid, if she I bullied you, tell me, and I will beat her up for you."

When Xiaozhu heard this, her face was full of astonishment. Is her young lady so bold that she dared to attack the Queen Mother?
Nanny Gui's complexion changed, and she suddenly remembered the secret loss that the queen mother had suffered at the hands of a fool like Mo Xiaoran on the wedding night. She moved quietly and stood in front of the queen mother, fearing that Mo Xiaoran would go crazy again.

"Your Majesty, the slave is really fine, the Queen Mother is a good person." Xiaozhu looked at the Queen Mother with a full face, "Really, you can trust the slave."

"Hmph, I don't believe it." Mo Xiaoran pouted, but her attitude softened obviously.

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, you should leave first. The Ai family will be the queen's decision in matters concerning the Ministry of Rituals," the queen mother smiled kindly, got up from the soft couch, walked to Mo Xiaoran in person, and patted her Mo Xiaoran stepped back to avoid her touch.

This is not the first time.

The queen mother frowned, but didn't say much, "The Ai family heard from the emperor about the matter of returning home, and I will wrong you this time."

Now that you know she was wronged, why did you agree to Bai Zixu to accompany Liao Xue back home?

Mo Xiaoran couldn't help but sneer in her heart, this queen mother really knows how to act.

"What wronged? Who dares to wrong me? I'll beat her to death!" Mo Xiaoran waved her fist.

What an incompetent fool.

A trace of disdain flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, "Mother Gui, send someone to send the Queen back, I'm tired of mourning."

After solving this farce, the queen mother is really tired. After all, she is not a young man, and her energy is not as good as before. This time, Mo Xiaoran is very well-behaved. She let Nanny Gui lead her away from the Palace of Compassion and Ning, so as to influence her purpose of coming here. It has been reached, and I really have no intention of continuing.

"Come here." When Mo Xiaoran left, the queen mother called out wearily, and immediately a guard walked in steadily.

"Go and ask the emperor to come over, the Ai family has something to discuss with him."

"Hey." The guard responded with a salute, and hurriedly walked towards the imperial study room. By coincidence, they bumped into Bai Zixu who was visiting the garden with Liao Xue in the imperial garden. The two came to the Palace of Compassion, surrounded by maids and eunuchs. , This picture of handsome men and women looks very seductive.

Especially the tenderness between the eyebrows is even more sighing, the warmth between the two.

"The son pays his respects to the queen."

"The concubine sees the queen mother."

"Get up." The queen mother waved her hand casually, and asked people to bring chairs, and waited for the emperor and the imperial concubine to sit down.

"The queen just came here." She rubbed the center of her brows, leaned on the soft couch with a gloomy expression, and when she looked at Bai Zixu, there was a trace of blame in her eyes: "Your Majesty, you too, you know that there is something wrong with returning home this time." How important it is, how could you be so careless that you forgot to instruct the Ministry of Rites to prepare a return gift for the queen? If the queen hadn’t come to Ai’s house to make a big fuss, wouldn’t the royal family’s face be lost by then?”

"What? How dare that idiot come to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to make trouble?" Bai Zixu was furious, Li Quan was innocently kicked, he didn't go to settle accounts with Mo Xiaoran, how dare she run out to do something wrong?What do you think of the palace?Theater?

"Your Majesty," Liao Xue spoke softly, and cast a tender look at Bai Zixu, calming his irritable mood.

Even Bai Zixu himself didn't know why, his self-control would disappear completely as soon as something happened to Mo Xiaoran.

Is it really one thing and one thing?
He was born to rival that fool?
"Don't blame the queen, she is not clear, but there is a sensible court lady beside her." The queen mother glanced at Bai Zixu, who held back his anger and sat down again.

"The queen mother is the maid who was sent to the palace by the regent?"

"Well, he's very interesting." The queen mother nodded, but she also saw Xiao Zhu's loyalty to Mo Xiaoran, "You have the Ministry of Rites prepare a generous return gift for the queen, don't favor one person over another, understand?"

In any case, Mo Xiaoran was always the prime minister's daughter, they didn't look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, they still had to rely on the prime minister now.

"Yes." Bai Zixu replied respectfully, with a hint of gloom in his deep eyes.

He just endured it, until one day, when he holds great power, he will be the first to abolish this queen!

Slowly grasping Liao Xuerou's boneless palm, he clenched it tightly, as if he wanted to tell the other party the belief in his heart and communicate with her.

Liao Xue couldn't help but blushed, her brows were full of charm, which made Bai Zixu's eyes sink, and she felt a fire burning in her lower abdomen, wishing she could be executed on the spot.

"After two days, when the queen returns home, the pomp should not be small. Even though you won't go with me, at least you have to look good. This is for the world to see, and you can't let the common people see the jokes of the royal family." Queen Mother Pretending not to notice the small movements of the next two people, he gently fiddled with the prayer beads on his wrists, and slowly raised them.

"Yes, my son has written it down." Bai Zixu is not stupid, how can someone who can sit on the throne be ignorant?

"Well, you go back if you have nothing else to do, Aijia is also tired." The Empress Dowager closed her eyes, put on a little makeup on her cheeks, and her tiredness could not be concealed.

"Mother, please take care of your health. You are the only family member left for your son." Bai Zixu said sincerely. He respected and filially treated the Queen Mother from the bottom of his heart.

"With your words, the Ai family will be satisfied, let's go." The queen mother smiled slightly, and after watching the two leave slowly, she ordered the guards to go to the Ministry of Rites and beat the officials.

At noon, when Mo Xiaoran had just finished her daily bodybuilding exercises, Xiaozhu immediately brought the wooden bucket, and Qinglian then bathed her with hot water.

Ever since Xiaozhu entered the palace, Qinglian has completely fallen out of favor. As the queen's personal maid, Xiaozhu handles it all by herself, so she is happy to be at ease.

The screen was erected high behind the wooden barrel, blocking the spring light inside, and the windows were tightly closed. Mo Xiaoran took off her clothes and let Xiaozhu wait outside the bedroom, and then she retracted into the wooden barrel, squinting comfortably. conspicuous.
