The emperor looked away guiltily and looked around, but not at Yu Xiheng.
After a while, Eunuch Huang reminded him quietly, "Your Majesty, Master Shangshu is gone."
The emperor coughed and said, "Let's go. In fact, I give him a monthly salary and let him do things as he should. I will be more confident next time."
Eunuch Huang smiled and said nothing.
You give people a monthly salary, but they have to do four jobs. They have to reconcile accounts and investigate cases. Now you have given people the job of interrogation and investigation. Eunuch Huang thought to himself, Master Shangshu’s His temper is still too good.
The emperor still had some self-awareness. He held his chin and murmured to himself thoughtfully, "I am also thinking about the people. By the way, I have reserved a place for him in the Xianliang Temple. Ai Qing dedicated his whole life for the people, and I am completely responsible for it." have to."
Eunuch Huang: ...Okay, now I’m starting to curse people to death again.
The two of them were chatting when a little eunuch came over and said, "Your Majesty, the Royal Censor wants to see you."
Although the emperor was confused, he still called him in.
At the same time, in the Shangshu Mansion——
Juanjuan ran to Xiaobai's yard to see it, but it hadn't come back yet, so he returned to his mother with a dejected look on his face.
After a while, someone suddenly came to the front yard.
"Madam, someone is coming from the palace."
Mrs. Lin put down the earner in her hand and stood up, her eyes a little confused, "Is there someone from the palace? Is it from the emperor?"
Could it be that the emperor wants to read the scroll again?
The maid who led the way shook her head, "I see it is not Eunuch Huang who is coming this time."
Seeing that his mother was about to leave, Juanjuan quickly got up from the cushion and stumbled over.
As she walked, she shouted softly behind her, "Mom, wait a minute Juan Juan~"
In the front yard, when the eunuch saw someone arriving, he waved the whisk in his hand and said, "The Queen Mother said: I heard that Mrs. Lin is gentle and gentle, and has both ability and political integrity. Then come into the palace to talk to the Ai family. By the way, let her take care of her." Bring the children with you, the Ai family wants to take a look."
The eunuch's high-pitched voice imitated the Queen Mother's manner and tone of voice.
After saying that, he waved the whisk again and looked at Mrs. Lin with an inverted triangular look, "Madam, pack up quickly and come into the palace with our family."
On the carriage entering the palace, Mrs. Lin frowned worriedly.
Not only about the Queen Mother suddenly looking for her, but also about what Juanjuan said just now.
When he went back to change clothes, Juanjuan was sitting aside, muttering to himself.
[The Queen Mother is a bad guy who loves to torture people. She killed many people in the harem. Why did she ask my mother to come into the palace? Isn’t she trying to bully her? 】
Lin made a move and took out a plainer piece of clothing.
I heard that the Queen Mother likes light colors, so if you can avoid being picked out by her in this regard, you should try to avoid it.
The carriage moved very fast and bumped violently. If Juan Juan hadn't been there, Mrs. Lin would have been in a terrible state of confusion.
When he arrived at the entrance of the palace, the eunuch lifted the curtains. When he saw that Mrs. Lin was intact, but her face was slightly pale, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"Mrs. Lin, please leave quickly. Don't keep the Queen Mother waiting."
He didn't even allow himself to slow down when he got off the car. It would be strange if Willin couldn't notice such an obvious dismount.
She straightened her clothes and then took Juan Juan down. Her posture was so good that it was hard to fault.
"Please, father-in-law, please lead the way."
The flash of malice in the eunuch's eyes was keenly caught by Juan Juan.
I saw the little eunuch walking very fast, without looking back.
He thought to himself that a weak woman with a child in her arms could not keep up with his speed anyway, so he could let the Queen Mother use this as an excuse to punish her when he returned.
After walking for a long time, the eunuch stopped to take a breath.
Thinking that Mrs. Lin might have been pushed to a certain corner by him, she couldn't help laughing.
"My father-in-law, please hurry up and lead the way after you have rested."
Lin's voice suddenly appeared in his ears.
The eunuch was horrified. When he looked back, he saw her holding a child standing behind him without blushing or breathing. Her hair was neat and there was no sweat on her forehead.
"you you......"
How is this possible! The eunuch's expression changed again and again, and finally he glared at her vaguely.
Juan Juan turned her head away proudly. She was self-aware of her own weight, so how could she tire her mother~
In Cining Palace, many concubines were sitting in the lobby according to their positions. Juan Juan spotted the woman at the top who was over fifty years old at a glance.
She was wearing a navy blue brocade palace robe, with armor made of cold jade on her fingers, with a few emerald beads embedded on it, and small glass beads hanging on the uppers. Her well-maintained face was graceful and luxurious.
Sitting next to her was the queen wearing a pure red palace robe, and on the other... was Wen Ruoyu who was demoted to Jieyu.
At this time, her eyes were sarcastic, and her face was extremely proud.
Mrs. Lin didn't look around. She bowed politely when she came in. She was very cautious, for fear that the Queen Mother would find something wrong in the etiquette.
But even so, the Queen Mother still did not let her go.
She held her chin up and said lazily, "It's not polite, so kneel down first."
Juanjuan raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother angrily. Although she was young, she knew that she was deliberately trying to embarrass her mother.
Mrs. Lin lowered her head and knelt silently.
She thought to herself, it's okay Juan Juan, don't be angry, it would be a good thing if kneeling here for a day can calm the storm.
She was afraid that the Queen Mother would use other tricks to deal with her later.
Wen Ruoyu covered her lips and smiled, then looked at Juan Juan and smiled sarcastically back.
No one is protecting you today.
The queen on the side saw Ms. Lin kneeling outside for a long time with a child in her arms, and felt a little unbearable, so she said, "Mother, Mrs. Lin should have known that she was wrong. She is still holding the child. Please give her a small punishment and a big punishment." Get up."
The Queen Mother lazily looked up at the sun hanging in the sky, and then asked Wen Ruoyu beside her, "How long?"
Wen Ruoyu smiled and said, "Back to the Queen Mother, it's only been half an hour."
The Queen frowned and subconsciously wanted to refute.
How could it be that only half an hour has passed since the fifth quarter of the hour until now when the sun is in the sky!
But the Queen Mother seemed to know what she wanted to say, and spoke first, "Aijia looks at her straight back. She shouldn't be tired, so let's kneel for a while."
The queen's expression changed.
See if she looks tired? What's the reason?
She knew how special the emperor was to the child. If something really happened in Cining Palace...
The queen looked at her maid and winked at her. The maid understood and quietly withdrew.
The concubines present had different expressions and exchanged glances with each other.
The Queen Mother held her chin up and her phoenix eyes fell on Lin's straight back, with some desire to destroy her eyes.
Wen Ruoqi told her last night that Yu Xiheng, the Minister of Household Affairs, had found out that he had sold his official position.
She was panicked when she first found out, but then she calmed down.
As long as the list of officials for sale was not found, the emperor could not convict her.
And as long as she doesn't fall, nothing will happen to the Wen family.
There are always people who overestimate their capabilities and try to overthrow mountains, but mountains are mountains.
The Queen Mother rubbed the armrest of the chair, curled her lips and looked at the woman kneeling on the cobblestone floor.
She will give an unforgettable lesson to all those who move mountains.
