She was stunned by herself.

She was stunned for a while, moved her mouth in disbelief, but she didn't make any sound for a long time.

...Jiaojiao?

Does the name that slipped out of her mouth inadvertently belong to this little girl?

Why did I treat her...

"The Queen Mother!"

Zhuang Yuexi's voice suddenly appeared. She saw a familiar little figure standing next to the queen mother from afar. She was suspicious and walked over to see that it was really Gu Jiao.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Then she saw the small purse in Gu Jiao's hand, and her face changed.

She tried her best to hide her anxiety and told her that the Queen Mother had long forgotten this girl. Now the Queen Mother is her favorite, and no matter how hard this girl is, it will be futile.

Her thoughts changed and she calmed down.

She looked at Gu Jiao and asked questioningly: "What are you here to do? Is the palace a place where you can enter and exit at any time?"

Of course not, but since Gu Jiao can come in, it at least means that she has a way out. The people Gu Jiao met in the palace were the empress dowagers, and the empress dowagers did not give her the qualification to enter and exit freely, so she could only be the emperor.

Zhuang Yuexi's words were undoubtedly reminding Empress Dowager Zhuang that Gu Jiao was an emperor.

Empress Dowager Zhuang's expression was indeed a little colder again.

Zhuang Yuexi continued, "I heard that Your Majesty's dragon body is inconsistent. You are treating Your Majesty, and I don't know how it is."

No one from Zhaoguo knew that Empress Dowager Zhuang and the emperor were mortal enemies. Grand Tutor Zhuang supported the emperor to ascend the throne just to cultivate a puppet emperor. But when the emperor was hard, he was unwilling to be a puppet.

The open and secret struggle between the two never stopped.

The Empress Dowager wanted to kill the emperor while he was sick, but Gu Jiao's appearance gave the emperor a glimmer of hope. Will Empress Dowager Zhuang like Gu Jiao in her heart?

The words still echoed in Queen Mother Zhuang's mind, but it was no longer confused, but cold. This girl approached her because of the emperor's instruction. She would let her take the opportunity to enter her heart, and it was probably because she lost her memory.

She just accidentally said to this girl, she would not know how to do it in the future.

"Stay things and you can leave." Empress Dowager Zhuang raised her chin and looked at the flowers in the imperial garden and said.

"Oh." Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows and glanced at Zhuang Yuexi, "So it wasn't my aunt who asked me to give it back?"

Queen Mother Zhuang finally came back to the taste. The girl seemed to have said the word "return" from the beginning. She frowned and looked at the wrinkled wallet. It was a... very strange wallet, with all the threads left outside.

Did this girl...made it for her?

"It was clearly that you stole the Empress Dowager's things and came here to talk to yourself!" Zhuang Yuexi pinched her fingers and turned to Empress Dowager Zhuang and said, "Empress Dowager, you must have fallen on the road accidentally and picked it up by this girl."

Gu Jiao looked at Zhuang Yuexi: "You gave it to me."

Zhuang Yuexi denied: "I don't!" She turned to face Empress Dowager Zhuang, "Empress Dowager, don't listen to her instigation!"

"Enough!" Empress Dowager Zhuang interrupted Zhuang Yuexi. Zhuang Yuexi was too noisy today, which made her a little annoyed.

In fact, Gu Jiao talked much more today than Zhuang Yuexi, but what Empress Dowager Zhuang herself didn't realize was that she only thought Zhuang Yuexi was very noisy.

Gu Jiao looked at Empress Dowager Zhuang with grievance: "Do you really want me to leave? Then tell me in person, you don't want me anymore."

Empress Dowager Zhuang took a deep breath and opened her mouth.

She couldn't even say it. When she thought of saying that I don't want you anymore, her throat seemed to be blocked by a huge stone.

"Bored." Empress Dowager Zhuang stood up coldly, shook her sleeves and left the imperial garden.

Gu Jiao touched the wallet in her hand.

When the Empress Dowager Zhuang walked away, Zhuang Yuexi said coldly: "Don't make yourself bored anymore! What your family has done to my aunt, you know in your heart! My aunt is kind-hearted and doesn't care about you, but you don't be arrogant! Do you really think that my aunt loves you very much? She just treats you as me! I am her real grandnieces!"

"Oh." Gu Jiao responded casually, not taking Zhuang Yuexi's words to heart at all.

This woman has no truth in her mouth, she doesn’t listen or not, she chants the scriptures!

Seeing that she looked indifferent, Zhuang Yuexi felt that she punched her cotton and she was extremely powerless.

She is actually a smart person, but when she meets Gu Jiao, she is easily prone to being so aroused that she forgets her sense of duty. She makes a fuss and blurts out: "You should weigh your own weight! Stop dreaming in the daytime! Auntie, she doesn't remember you anymore!"

Gu Jiao's expression paused.

I don't remember her...

Gu Jiao believed this sentence.

Gu Jiao's steps to leave the palace turned back and walked forward proudly.

"Where are you going?" Zhuang Yuexi scolded.

"Renshou Palace." Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows and said without looking back.

Zhuang Yuexi was so angry that she stamped her feet: "You!"

Gu Jiao caught up with Empress Dowager Zhuang's chasing. The palace people used to see the empress dowager's expression, but she caught up with her. The empress dowager did not give her an order to drive her away, so the palace people did not dare to speak.

When we arrived at Renshou Palace, Empress Dowager Zhuang stepped inside.

Gu Jiao also entered in a hurry.

Eunuch Qin gritted his teeth, why is this girl a little lingering?

Queen Mother Zhuang finally stopped in the small garden in the front hall. She looked at Gu Jiao expressionlessly: "Why do you always follow the Ai family?"

Gu Jiao thought for a while: "I want to follow you."

Queen Mother Zhuang: “…”

She should be very angry, but why is she a little...small happy?

Has she been poisoned by this girl? How much ecstasy has this girl given her in more than a year after being under house arrest?

Empress Dowager Zhuang returned to the bedroom in anger.

Gu Jiao naturally followed in. She looked at the magnificent bedroom and said in confusion: "Auntie, is this where you live? Will you be lonely?"

It seems luxurious, but it is big and empty, and every place is cold.

When Empress Dowager Zhuang heard this, she looked dazed.

No one has ever asked her if she is lonely or not.

The father who sent her to the palace never asked, the husband who left her in the deep palace never asked, and the tribe members who hoped that she would climb higher and higher had never asked.

When he was stunned, a white green hand reached over, holding a newly opened paper bag with three candied fruits inside.

This kind of candied fruit is obviously from the people, and the dried fruits in the palace are much more exquisite.

"Bold! How can you give the Queen Mother such dirty things from the people!" Zhuang Yuexi walked over with a plate of assorted fruits, with fresh cut fruits and sprinkled with a few dried palace fruits as decorations, which looked much higher-grade than Gu Jiao's candied fruits.

Empress Dowager Zhuang's eyes fell on the candied fruit in Gu Jiao's palm, swallowed hard, and said majestic: "I won't eat it from the Ai family!"

"Oh." Gu Jiao started eating by herself.

Empress Dowager Zhuang ate the fruits and melons offered by Zhuang Yuexi, but she couldn't tell the taste.

Gu Jiao went to the kitchen again and made a bowl of sugar-water eggs for Queen Mother Zhuang.

Zhuang Yuexi looked at the sugar-water eggs in the bowl with disgust: "Do you just give the Queen Mother this kind of thing?"

There are also eggs in the imperial court, but that is shrimp egg custard, shark fin egg custard, abalone egg slip, osmanthus wolfberry pearl egg flower... Who would eat this sugar-water egg?

Gu Jiao ignored her, walked over, put a bowl of steaming sugar-water eggs on the table next to the Queen Mother, and whispered: "I put half a spoonful of brown sugar."

Still put more sugar!

Empress Dowager Zhuang refused in her heart. She was the queen mother of a country, how could she eat such impure things?

She turned her face coldly, and tears flowed down from the corners of her mouth uncontrollably...

Empress Dowager Zhuang is going to take a nap, and Gu Jiao and Zhuang Yuexi are invited by the palace servants to rest in the side hall next door.

Gu Jiao has a little unknown origin, but as long as the empress dowager doesn't drive her away, the palace maids don't have the courage to deal with her.

"You also retreat. When Ai's house sleeps, they don't like someone to be by their side."

"yes."

The two close-fitting little palace maids also retreated.

The only one left in the huge bedroom was the Queen Mother Zhuang. She lay on the wide and luxurious phoenix bed, half-squinted her eyes, facing the direction of the table.

The window is wide open, and the gentle wind blows slowly.

Gu Jiao put ginger in the sugar-water eggs, and the aroma of ginger juice hitting brown sugar filled the entire bedroom.

Empress Dowager Zhuang tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Finally, she made up her mind, sat up, came to the table and sat down, holding a bowl of sugar-watered eggs, and sucked it and started eating!

Suddenly, a small blue figure hung upside down from the beam, her little head hung upside down outside the window, and happily called out: "Auntie~"

Empress Dowager Zhuang shook her body, almost choking to death!

No one else was caught when eating sugar-watered eggs.
