The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 323 The biggest local tyrant (two more)

It is inconvenient for foreign men to enter and exit the harem. Even if they enter and exit, they must have the emperor's imperial decree or oral edict, but it is obvious that the Empress Dowager Zhuang has such a right.

Mrs. Zhuang was brought into the Renshou Palace by Eunuch Qin. Eunuch Qin acted in a well-behaved manner and smiled decently, making people unable to guess for a while what the purpose of Empress Dowager Zhuang's summoning to the palace was.

It's supposed to be a good thing.

Mrs. Zhuang went to the study in the side hall. Empress Dowager Zhuang had already read the papers all morning, but due to the backlog for several days, there were still some unfinished.

"The Queen Mother." Mrs. Zhuang entered with a smile and bowed her hands.

Empress Dowager Zhuang ignored him, just flipping through the mountains of papers in her hands.

Mrs. Zhuang thought that Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't hear, took a step forward and said again: "Empress Dowager?"

"Ai's family is not deaf." Empress Dowager Zhuang said indifferently, without raising her eyelids, she put the book she had read in a pile that could not be presented to the emperor.

Only then did Mrs. Zhuang's expression change slightly.

But thinking of the news I heard this morning—a person in charge of the emperor's high regard hanged himself, the emperor suspected that it was the empress dowager, and came to Renshou Palace to make a scene with the empress dowager, it must be because the empress dowager was in a bad mood ?

Master Zhuang thought so.

Empress Dowager Zhuang read seven or eight more booklets before she said lightly, "You've been very arrogant recently."

"Um?"

Mrs. Zhuang was confused by this sudden remark. He looked at Empress Zhuang suspiciously: "Why did the Empress do this? Chen...what did you do wrong?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang said indifferently: "Your hand is too long, and some people cannot be moved by you."

Master Zhuang was stunned: "I don't understand."

"If you don't understand, just let the Aijia listen to it." Empress Dowager Zhuang said coldly, "The Zhuang family has a century-old heritage, with hairpins for generations, and high-ranking officials are prominent officials. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first clan in the capital. It has cultivated your arrogant and arrogant temperament. Do you think that no matter what you do, the Aijia must take care of you? Yes, the Aijia is the Zhuang family, and you are the Aijia's mother family. As long as the Aijia reigns, I will protect you for a day. But have you ever thought about how long the Aijia can protect you?"

Mrs. Zhuang suddenly changed color: "The Queen Mother..."

Empress Dowager Zhuang hated that the iron could not become steel and said: "The bow is full, and the water is full. You only see the Aijia in the sky, but you don't see the building behind it is in the sky, and the lonely tree can't support it! The Aijia is old, not many years. You are getting old, the talents of the Zhuang clan are withered, the blue and yellow are not connected, and the people in the direct line are all unbearable to use. Only Zhuang Yuheng is a white jade with slight flaws. You are spoiled!"

"Queen Mother!"

Master Zhuang lifted the hem of his clothes,

He knelt down with a look of sincerity and fear, but of course he didn't understand more in his eyes.

I don't understand why the queen mother made these remarks, and I don't understand why the queen mother destroys her prestige so much?

Not to mention that Empress Dowager Zhuang still has at least ten years to live, even if she doesn't, His Royal Highness King Ning is also becoming more and more powerful.

But the wall has ears, and he still dare not say too much.

"The queen mother, don't say that, you want Fuze for a hundred years."

"Hmph, a hundred years? If it wasn't for the Ai family being rescued by Xiao Liulang and the Gu family's sweet mother, I'm afraid it would have been buried long ago, right?"

Mrs. Zhuang seemed to have been tapped all of a sudden. He looked at the Empress Dowager Zhuang in astonishment: "The Empress Dowager... is blaming the minister for suppressing Xiao Liulang? He is His Majesty's person! How can the minister allow him to grow in Hanlin!"

Empress Dowager Zhuang slapped the book on the table with a snap: "Who is he, I need you to tell Ai Jia!"

Mrs. Zhuang was shocked by the powerful aura of Empress Dowager Zhuang. He hadn't seen Empress Dowager Zhuang make such a big fire for many years.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he cupped his hands and lowered his head: "I dare not."

Empress Dowager Zhuang said coldly: "What Aijia and you are talking about is state affairs, political affairs, and family affairs, but you only hear about private affairs! Aijia's painstaking efforts are wasted, it's worth it! Aijia doesn't talk about it! Brothers and sisters, Aijia sends them off. Eight words for you: you will become famous, and you will retreat bravely!"

Master Zhuang clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were like torches and said: "What a rapid retreat! Has the efforts of the Zhuang family for generations been in vain? Without the credit of my banker?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang's eyes were cold, and a powerful aura rushed forward like a torrent: "The credit belongs to the Qin family, and Jiangshan also belongs to the Qin family. You said such a rebellious thing, Mrs. Zhuang, are you trying to rebel!"

Taifu Zhuang was shocked, stunned for a moment, cupped his hands, and said, "This minister has lost his words."

Empress Dowager Zhuang coldly retracted her gaze: "This is the end of Ai Jia's words, you should step back."

"...Yes, I retire!"

Master Zhuang stood up.

The hot wind of June blew through, and he suddenly felt his back soaked with cold sweat.

After Mrs. Zhuang left, Eunuch Qin entered with a cup of tea.

He was guarding the door of the study, and naturally heard the conversation inside. He put the freshly brewed hot tea in the hands of Empress Dowager Zhuang, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect the Empress Dowager to think so long for the Zhuang family. I thought that the Empress Dowager Xuanzhuang and Grand Fu entered the palace just to vent Xiao Xiu's anger."

Empress Dowager Zhuang picked up the book and snorted coldly.

Bullshit long term.

Just talk.

"If Aijia only told him one thing, no matter how small it was, it would be a big thing. If Aijia told him several big things, Liu Lang's matter would become a trivial matter. Since it is a small matter, there is no need to worry about it."

Qin Eunuch looked bitter and hated: "Uh... the slaves are stupid."

Empress Dowager Zhuang flashed through someone's complaint and the embarrassment of falling on the horse. She was in such a good mood that she became patient with Eunuch Qin: "Aijia heard that you recently raised a little turtle?"

Eunuch Qin smiled embarrassedly: "The Queen Mother's news is really well-informed."

Empress Dowager Zhuang said lightly: "It's not that Aijia is well-informed, it's that little turtle that climbed to Aijia's feet that day. Aijia looked at her, and it's different from the ones you raised before."

Eunuch Qin has no other hobbies, so he just loves raising Wang Ba. As the saying goes, a thousand-year-old tortoise is a ten-year-old turtle. This turtle is Wang Ba. Wang Ba's life is longer than a turtle. It's a hundred years old.

Empress Dowager Zhuang said lightly: "That one is well raised, I will use it to stew soup at night."

"Ah?" Eunuch Qin's expression changed greatly.

"What? Reluctant?" Empress Dowager Zhuang sighed, "Recently, Aijia and these tortoise kings have been arguing. The Taoist priest said that if you eat one, you will be relieved. If you can't eat it, you can only send them all away. Turtle King Eight."

Eunuch Qin said aggrieved: "Then, that servant still took Dequan and stewed it for you."

"Who wants to eat that stuff?" Empress Dowager Zhuang was playing a metaphor with him.

Eunuch Qin suddenly said, "Ah...Xiao Xiuzhuan is that little bastard..."

Empress Dowager Zhuang came over with a cold look!

Who is Wang Ba!

Aijia sees that you are the only old man!

"Cough, cough!" Eunuch Qin scolded, "The slave is sloppy, the slave can't speak, the slave is the eighth...but..." He got down to business, "Your trick is quite clever."

Empress Dowager Zhuang sneered lightly.

Are you smart?

Her words are not true, but the banker does not want to retreat quickly, and there is no way to retreat.

This vortex, they have never been able to come out.

Today, Guozijian and Qinghe Academy both leave school early. Nan Xiang and Master Lu have to go out for three days, so Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan do not have to go to study art these days.

Three little men gathered at home.

Xiao Jingkong had already fallen asleep after returning from the palace last night. The gift that my aunt brought me didn't have time to distribute, and I forgot it when I went out in the morning, so I just remembered it now.

Xiao Jingkong took the brocade box out and ran to the main room: "My aunt asked me to bring it!"

The things that my aunt asked to bring are generally for everyone.

Yao shi sat in the hall enjoying the cool air, smiling and watching several children play in the hall.

She felt that such a day was lively and beautiful, a life that she had not dared to imagine in the past ten years.

"Oh, I can't open it!" Xiaojing's hands were too weak.

"I'm coming!" Gu Xiaoshun raised his sleeves and pried open the box with a click.

The box is not big, after all, it is too big to hold, but it is not too small, and there are a lot of things inside.

The three little heads were squeezed together, and Baba looked at the gift in the brocade box.

Xiao Jingkong took out the gifts one by one: "Opal, this is from brother Yan! The gem knife, this is from brother Xiaoshun! Silver needle, charming! Golden bowl, I am!"

Then there is an embroidered picture book, which is for Yao Shi at first glance.

"No bad brother-in-law." Xiao Jingkong shook his head and said, "How pitiful!"

The poor Xiao Liulang entered the house humbly, and put a brocade box that was twice the size of the small clear-cut brocade box on the table with a pop.

The three younger brothers opened their eyes wide, looked at the brocade box, and then looked at him.

"What?" Xiao Jingkong asked.

Xiao Liulang answered him with practical actions. He opened the brocade box and slowly took out the contents and placed them on the table. The first was the token of Renshou Palace, and the second was a fist-sized luminous pearl. Then there is an inkstone made of warm jade for ten thousand years, and then...

He moved gracefully, not in a hurry, and took half an hour to finish the gadgets inside.

There is a full table!

The eyes of the three little men stared straight.

Xiao Jingkong was stunned: "Is it... Aunt gave it to me?"

So many good things!

Xiao Jingkong: "Which one is for me?"

Xiao Liulang stretched out his slender and jade-like fingertips, walked around the gift, and picked up a golden lock that blinded people: "Mine."

Xiao Jingkong swallowed.

He picked up the Wannian Warm Jade Inkstone again: "Mine."

Gu Yan swallowed.

Pick up another emerald Turkic knife: "It's mine too."

Gu Xiaoshun swallowed.

"It's still mine."

"It's mine again."

"Ah, it seems that it's all mine." Suddenly he became the biggest local tyrant in the family!

After showing off his spoils, Xiao Liulang put the last token of Renshou Palace in it, and then returned to the house extremely arrogantly!

Everyone: "..."

What's the matter with the sudden feeling that my brother-in-law is not pumping today? !

Gu Jiao didn't know her husband's childish behavior. She had just come out of the hospital and got on the carriage to Xianleju.

She wants to know who is behind the scenes of Xianleju.

She always felt that the person who assassinated her was inseparable from the people behind the scenes in Xianleju. At the same time, she also suspected that Yuan Tang had a powerful accomplice in the capital.

In short, the key to everything lies in Xianleju.

The Xianleju token on Gu Jiao's body was not taken away by Mo Qianxue, she entered Xianleju very smoothly with the token.

She still changed into your noble son's dress, wearing a half-faced silver mask, which properly covered her outline.

The only trouble is that her corset is too tight, there is no way, except that it grows there, and it can't cover the woman's figure if it is not tight.

But it's so hot.

Gu Jiao wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve and walked towards the center of the lobby.

She didn't plan to go directly to the girl from last time, she just wanted to walk and listen first.

Everyone has a love for beauty. I have to say that all the girls in Xianleju are like people in paintings, and they are very seductive.

Gu Jiao walked casually when suddenly, a peony flower fell on her shoulder.

This is the old rule of Xianleju. The one who is hit is the one that the girl likes, and she has the honor to be the girl's guest of honor.

This time, it was a woman in yellow, with a crescent-shaped eyebrow and a greasy face, charming but not vulgar, flamboyant but not demonic.

All the girls in Xianleju have no smell of dust. They are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and some are even proficient in Baguwen and arithmetic. It is an honor to be seen by them.

Gu Jiao looked at the peony flower in her hand and hesitated for a moment.

In such a short time, Shi Shiran, the girl in yellow, went downstairs and bowed respectfully to Gu Jiao: "Sir, my girl is invited."

Although this girl was on the second floor, after she threw flowers at herself, no one else dared to throw flowers at her. You know, she was almost flooded with flowers last time.

Gu Jiao didn't think that her charm was gone, it should be that the girl's identity in Xianleju was not simple.

it is good.

Just her.

Gu Jiao followed the little girl up to the second floor.

The woman in yellow held a beautiful fan to cover the face under her eyebrows, smiled at Gu Jiao, turned around and moved into the room lightly.

Even walking exudes a radiant spirit.

"Young Master, please." The little maid brought Gu Jiao to the woman in yellow.

This room is at the end of the aisle, and it has one more door than other rooms. It really is an identity.

Gu Jiao nodded and stepped inside.

The woman in yellow sat in front of the windowsill and played a song with her back to Gu Jiao.

After finishing the song, she covered her face with a folding fan and came to Gu Jiao, and bowed gracefully and softly: "The slave family has seen the son, dare to ask the son what he calls him."

Gu Jiao naturally wouldn't talk to her. She was about to take out a small notebook to write her answer when suddenly, an ice-blue figure wearing a veil rushed in, pulled Gu Jiao behind her, and lifted her up. The hand slapped the woman in yellow with a loud slap in the face!

The incident happened suddenly, and even Gu Jiao, the party involved, was a little confused.

She didn't shoot when she was dragged behind her because she didn't feel the other party's malice towards her, but she didn't expect the other party to shoot so arrogantly towards the woman in yellow.

The woman in yellow was beaten to the side, and several fingerprints quickly appeared on her cheeks.

She covered her face and looked at the uninvited guest in the house in disbelief and anger: "Mo Qianxue! You are crazy!"

"You're the one who's crazy! You dare to move the person this Hua Kui likes!" Mo Qianxue said, grabbed the sachet from her waist, and threw it on the ground coldly, "I also used the charm! Xiyao, you are so brave!"

The woman in yellow who was called Hua Xiyao's eyes flashed, and she unconsciously showed timidity.

Her body stepped back slightly.

Mo Qianxue said disdainfully: "Humph! For the sake of the master, I will spare you once, and if you dare to hit my head again, I will scratch your face!"

After she said that, she grabbed Gu Jiao's wrist and took Gu Jiao out of Hua Xiyao's house.

Looking at Mo Qianxue's back, Hua Xiyao's eyes flashed with resentment.

Mo Qianxue took Gu Jiao directly to the third floor.

The third floor was as silent and empty as ever.

Gu Jiao poked her small shoulder and asked her with her eyes, are you the only one living on this floor?

Mo Qianxue said angrily, "There is still a master."

host?

Could it be the boss of Xianleju?

Mo Qianxue took Gu Jiao's hand into her room, and looked at Gu Jiao fiercely: "Where did that woman touch you!"

Gu Jiao shook her head like a rattle.

Mo Qianxue frowned, "I didn't touch it? Seriously?"

Gu Jiao nodded.

Mo Qianxue's expression changed slightly, and she glanced at the stool beside the table of the Eight Immortals: "Sit down."

Gu Jiao sat down.

"Get some water," Mo Qianxue ordered.

"Yes." The little girl poured a basin of cold water.

Mo Qianxue twisted the towel herself and went to wipe the sweat from Gu Jiao's forehead.

Gu Jiao leaned back subconsciously.

Mo Qianxue's hand fluttered: "Don't hide!"

Gu Jiao: Oh.

Mo Qianxue wiped Gu Jiao's forehead carefully, and while wiping, she muttered angrily, "Are you a fool? You won't go directly to the third floor when you come here? No one dares to stop you!"

This...I didn't come to find you either.

Mo Qianxue pouted and explained with a blank expression: "I didn't tell you before, yesterday was my birthday and I went to swim in the lake, so I'm not in Xianleju."

Uh...don't explain it to me.

There is no double event this month, and the monthly ticket does not need to be reserved until the end of the month, you can vote now.
