While he was hesitating, a palace maid walked out.
"Your Highness, the empress invites you."
"Ah! Just wait, Gu Gu will be here soon."
What was supposed to come finally came, and when people arrived at the door, they had no choice but to avoid attracting attention.
Extending one's head is a sword, and shrinking one's head is also a sword.
The only good thing is that it has nothing to do with myself.
Sorry, Dad.
After apologizing to his father in his heart, Zhu Biao felt a little better, and then followed the palace maid into Queen Ma's palace.
The inside is still the same, with a slightly plain style.
Queen Ma looked unhappy and stared at Zhu Biao as she entered.
Before Zhu Biao could react, Queen Ma said in a cold voice.
"Kneel down."
What!
There was no trace of defense, and Zhu Biao was completely confused.
Out of instinct, Zhu Biao's legs honestly fell to his knees.
When he reacted, he looked innocent and a little aggrieved.
What’s the matter!
Seeing Zhu Biao kneeling down, Queen Ma's anger subsided a little, but she didn't take any real action, she just kept a straight face.
Zhu Biao, who didn't know what was going on, could only ask in a low voice when he saw this situation.
"Mother!"
"snort."
"I don't know what I did to make you so angry."
"You have done something yourself, and you still want me to teach you? Kneel down honestly."
He was even more unjust than Dou E. If you think about it carefully, what did you do? It was nothing!
After a long time, maybe the anger dissipated, or maybe she felt distressed.
Queen Ma said in relief.
"Get up! Remember the lesson of this time."
If you can't remember, you really didn't commit any crime.
Judging from Zhu Biao's dull look, he still couldn't figure out the situation.
Queen Ma was furious.
"What, you haven't remembered yet?"
"No, please give me some advice."
"I asked you to go out yesterday to see what your father was feeling guilty about. What did you do?"
"My son went to check it out personally, and has learned about the situation. He is about to report back to his mother."
"We know you went to investigate, why don't you take the lead? Just tell me, was it a good thing for you to go to the building and spend a lot of money?"
Well, Zhu Biao hesitated and couldn't speak for a while.
"To remain silent is to admit it."
Zhu Biao nodded, then shook his head, wanting to deny it.
Unexpectedly, Queen Ma sneered.
"Why, you still want to say it's not you? We still don't know what you two are like."
"To tell you the truth, I know all about the bad things you did in Qinhuai River."
"Whatever you want to answer, you should think about it first before you say it!"
The road was almost blocked, and Zhu Biao could only lower his head, but before that he asked a question with some hope.
"I wonder where my mother heard the news from?"
"What, you still want to be tough?"
"Since I tell you, someone naturally told us about this and witnessed it with their own eyes. This is enough."
A snitch.
Me~, don’t let me know who it is?
"I know I was wrong. Please give me a chance to explain this matter."
"Oh, tell me, I want to see what reasons you can come up with?"
"yes."
Zhu Biao's brain was running so fast that he almost shut down.
"It's like this. Yesterday, I went there to investigate my father's affairs on the order of my mother. As you know, the perfume and tea sold here are all involved."
"No, it's a bit reasonable to go over and support me!"
"Besides, my father is much more ostentatious than me. I am nothing here, so I ask my mother to warn you."
A good move to divert trouble to the east, and Queen Ma was indeed caught.
"What did you say? What did your father do? What kind of pomp?"
There is really nothing we can do now. I am a dead Taoist friend but not a poor Taoist. You will suffer a little injustice first.
"It's like this. My father transformed into Mr. Wang and spent a lot of money on the 16th floor. He rewarded a girl with nearly ten thousand taels. You can tell me whether this ostentation is big or not!"
Big, my head will explode with anger.
"Also, my father got up and wrote a poem to get a ranking."
"Where's Zheng Xiong! Without knowing it, he wrote another poem based on the poems written by his father."
"There is a huge gap between the rankings of the two songs, so my father's rage may be due to this."
How infuriating!
I live frugally, lest I spend a penny indiscriminately.
These two prodigal sons had no idea that tea, rice, oil, and salt were expensive. One trip cost several hundred taels. One trip, okay! Nearly ten thousand taels.
It hurts my heart to think about so much money.
At the same time, a feeling of rage arose spontaneously, and Queen Ma was furious.
"Let's go find your father."
Queen Ma's face was full of anger.
Zhu Biao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was safe for the time being. As for dad, just wish yourself well!
Following Queen Ma, the two set out on the road to find Lao Zhu.
In the imperial study room, Lao Zhu was working hard, and for some reason today, he was able to review memorials a little faster than before.
I was in a good mood, but my eyes were beating so hard that I felt a little uncomfortable.
Suddenly, there was a knocking sound at the door.
Lao Zhu replied calmly.
"Enter."
He was in a good mood at first, but when he saw Queen Ma's bad expression, Lao Zhu's heart skipped a beat, and he felt something bad.
"Sister, why are you here?"
"What, can't I come?"
"Zhu Biao, kneel down."
Me~
With a plop, Zhu Biao scored twice.
Somewhat confused, Lao Zhu looked at Queen Ma and then at Zhu Biao.
Just from his expression, it can be seen that Zhu Biao is very aggrieved.
"What's going on? What did Biao'er commit?"
"Humph, what did you do? I am living frugally in the harem, but he is better off. Not to mention honoring my parents, you should also provide some subsidies for your own family! He did nothing, went out to fool around, for a girl, He just gave away hundreds of taels of silver to someone without even blinking an eye. Can you tell me and comment on what he did?"
"this…"
Those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come.
Although it was not directed at him, Lao Zhu felt inexplicably guilty.
After a fight, Lao Zhu became the peacemaker.
"A few hundred taels, just spend it! The prince's palace has a lot of output, a few hundred taels is nothing. Let me teach you a lesson this time, don't spend money randomly in the future. You see, it makes your mother-in-law angry, you know Are you done yet?"
Lao Zhu's comfort made Zhu Biao dumbfounded.
I am that chicken! Why did you fall for it?
"Yes, please keep this in mind."
"What is it? Remember what? Kneel down."
Turning around, Queen Ma said to Lao Zhu again.
"Just remember it like this, it won't last long, what do you think is best to do with it?"
Being stared directly at by Queen Ma, even a fool would know that the person coming was evil.
Bite the bullet, Lao Zhu gave a solution.
"A month's grounding?"
"Too light."
"Is it still light?"
"Well, in my opinion, he can't handle this money."
"The Crown Princess Chang is quite virtuous. From now on, Chang will take care of the family property. We will wait until we need money. What do you think?"
Zhu Biao was dumbfounded. If I go, am I still my mother?
When dealing with your own father, you don't need to involve your own son!
Lao Zhu's uneasy feeling became more intense.
I want to deny it, but it seems natural to deal with my son, so I don’t know how to deny it.
