Mrs. Xu has a soft temper, and she is often bullied by her sisters-in-law in the house. However, she is also the most protective of calves. She could not bear such blatant frame-up, so she took Xu Qingmo out of bed early the next morning. I took it out, took care of it briefly, and hurried to the palace.
The Queen Empress already knew that something happened in Ningyuan Hou's house yesterday. The Queen Empress and Mrs. Xu have been friends since childhood, so how could she not know her temper?
So early in the morning, I had my personal palace attendant waiting at the palace gate.
Mrs. Xu and Xu Qingmo had just gotten off the carriage and walked into the palace gate when they saw Liu Naiguan waiting there.
Liu Naiguan had quick eyes and quick hands, and walked up to them quickly before they could react: "Mrs. Hou, the Queen heard that you handed over the palace card to enter the palace today, so she asked the slaves to wait here early!"
Mrs. Xu looked at Liu Naiguan and smiled: "How is your health lately?"
"Okay, I just miss Mrs. Hou a little. I was thinking about her a few days ago, but I didn't expect Mrs. Hou to be here today." Liu Naiguan said as he led Madam Xu to Fengqi Palace.
Xu Qingmo followed behind, listening to Mrs. Xu and Liu Naiguan's greetings. She had heard these words in her previous life. At that time, Mrs. Xu also relentlessly complained to the Queen, but Lin Shaoyang The matter had been cleared up a long time ago, and his eldest brother had taken the blame for him, but Xu Yanquan's reputation had been ruined long ago.
It didn't take long for them to arrive at the Queen's Fengqi Palace. Liu Naiguan led the two of them in. The Queen was already waiting there!
Xu Qingmo and Mrs. Xu knelt down to worship: "Queen, may you be blessed!"
"Get up quickly!" After the Queen Mother said, someone from the palace went to arrange for her to be seated.
The Empress and Mrs. Xu have indeed been friends since childhood. They are direct cousins, and the Queen's mother is Mrs. Xu's aunt.
Moreover, the two sisters had a bad fate. One became the successor, and the other became Marquis Ningyuan's house filler. Although they were favored, they always felt sad about their deceased predecessor.
It was precisely because of this kind of encounter that the relationship between the two cousins became even better. However, the empress was in the harem, so the two sisters gradually saw less of each other.
"It's rare for you to enter the palace, but it's because of your legitimate son?" the queen said calmly, picking up a cup of tea.
"Empress, aren't you asking questions knowingly?" Mrs. Xu snorted, "The heir apparent in our family has been the most motivated from childhood to adulthood. He has been running around for so long, and finally came back, but he was plotted against like this. If It’s not that we, Mo Mo, were careful, now we don’t even know what big thing will happen!”
The Empress put down the teacup in her hand, with a face full of dissatisfaction: "You, you, I haven't seen you come into the palace to see me all year round. As soon as something happens to your legitimate son, you come to complain!"
"You have palace servants to take care of you, your children are filial, and your majesty is doting on you. There is no need for me to come and see you. But I only have these two children, and their father is not here. I am not nervous. Who will support them!" Madam Xu touched Xu Qingmo's head, her face full of distress.
"You two children, who are talented in literature and martial arts, can they be bullied by others?" The Queen was dissatisfied.
"What do you know!" Mrs. Xu was a little unhappy, "Didn't you see the scene yesterday? All the maids in our Mo Mo belt were beaten up by them, and she came out of that courtyard carrying her elder brother on her back. Yes, our Momo is only fourteen years old, and when we came back, our faces were pale with fright!"
"You're only fourteen and you already know how to set up a trap for Lin Shaoyang! Don't think that I don't know that the girl you took away was arranged by your daughter!" The Empress glanced at Xu Qingmo, "She is smarter than you. !”
"Then if our Mo Mo is not smart enough, our heir apparent is still good now?" Mrs. Xu was not convinced, "You mean so much just because you don't want to help me out! If that's the case, then I Just go and beat the drum, after all, I can’t let you bully us orphans and widowed mothers.”
The Queen looked at Mrs. Xu and couldn't help but feel a little headache: "Your Marquis is out on business. What do you mean by being an orphan and a widowed mother? Do you know how to speak?"
Mrs. Xu didn't care, she said "hum", turned away and stopped talking to the queen, looking angry.
The queen stared at Madam Xu for a long time, and finally said helplessly: "I am really afraid of you. If you just go to beat the Dengwen drum, then I will let you beat it. After all, it is your majesty who goes to deal with you, because he is afraid of you. When the time comes, you will go to my mother’s house to make trouble and say that I don’t care about you anymore!”
The queen really knew Mrs. Xu's tricks very thoroughly, but she just couldn't do anything with her sister. After letting out a long sigh, she said: "This matter was originally Lin Shaoyang's fault. The imperial doctor came back to report it last night. At that time, His Majesty happened to be here in the palace, and he heard clearly that today, Minister Lin is probably going to suffer a lot!"
"He just suffered a little, two slaps at most. It's said that his godson has done it, but our eldest son has hurt his body. His body is used to lead soldiers in war. If there are two shortcomings..." Mrs. Xu said I started to shed tears.
Xu Qingmo stood aside and looked at Mrs. Xu with an innocent face. She actually admired herself as her aunt, and her tears seemed to be free of money. She just dropped them and fell into her heart.
As expected, it didn't take long for the Queen to feel distressed. She hurriedly came over and wiped Mrs. Xu's tears with a handkerchief: "I didn't say I wouldn't let you make the decision. Why are you crying so sadly?"
"Our Marquis lost his wife early, so we only have two children, but they are busy with official duties on weekdays. They have not received much care since they were young. I don't have much ability, and they are always bullied. I don't care. I know how to explain it to the Marquis..." Mrs. Xu cried again as she spoke.
Xu Qingmo looked at Mrs. Xu next to her with a dull expression. She got into trouble when she was a child, and the same thing happened when Mrs. Xu came to the Queen for help. Usually at this time, all she had to do was stand aside and listen, asking for nothing. Do it, don’t say anything, just listen!
"Okay, okay, you have been thinking all day long about how to explain to your Lord Marquis. You have done your best to take care of the family for him. What do you have to explain to him?" The Queen Mother said while wiping Mrs. Xu's tears, "Besides, I didn't say I wouldn't seek justice for you!"
