Bo Liuzhi pursed his lips and was about to continue persuading her.
A high-pitched voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
"The Empress Dowager has arrived..."
——————————————————
Yuxiu Palace
Tuoba Yu was half-lying on a soft chair, touching his chin with one hand, and occasionally touching his thin lips with his fingers, his eyes gently turning, giving off a hint of endless aftertaste.
Mr. Lou Lan sat on the round purple wooden stool next to the soft chair. He lifted up the sleeve of the other hand with one hand and asked for his pulse.
Suddenly, his handsome eyebrows were raised, and the corner of his mouth miraculously revealed a smile in front of several people.
Tuoba Rui was wearing a light green brocade robe, which made his pale face appear more spring-colored and less sickly.
He was sitting on the stool opposite the soft chair, his brows were light, his lips were smiling, and he was in a good mood.
Nan Jue and Zhen Xiang stood side by side, looking at each other, very curious, what good thing happened to them, which made the three of them look light-hearted.
Loulan Jun let go of his hand that was checking his pulse, slowly took out a purple round box from his sleeve, and handed it to Tuoba Yu, "I think Ling'er helped you a lot last night, and your complexion has recovered well today. This is
Please take two of the pain-relieving pills I made last night."
Tuoba Yu took it and opened the round box with his fingers. He saw brown-gray pills as big as a little finger neatly arranged inside. He took out two pills and ate them happily.
There was a hint of frivolity in the eyes, "I don't take this pain seriously!"
Lou Lanjun twitched the corner of his mouth and stretched out his hand to snatch the round box back, but he cleverly made a move and threw it towards Zhen Xiang.
Zhen Xiang was slightly startled and barely caught it.
"Lan Jun's thoughts have been put aside for me!"
Loulan Jun was speechless, with fondness hidden in his eyes, "I'll endure the pain if I can. If I really can't bear it, I'll take two pills."
Although this medicine has the effect of relieving pain, the more and more frequently you take it, the less effective it will be.
Tuoba Yu raised his eyebrows and agreed.
The phoenix eyes drifted towards Tuoba Rui opposite, and said, "Brother Ninth, your energy is quite good. I wonder if you have been 'nourishing' your overworked body after handling court affairs for me a few days ago?!"
A blush flashed across his face, he covered his lips and coughed lightly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. My body has always been like this. I can't say whether it's good or bad."
The etiquette between monarch and minister cannot be abolished.
He could care about the brotherhood and call him "Nine Brother", but he could not ignore the etiquette. Tuoba Rui stood up and replied.
"Okay, I just asked casually. There are no outsiders in my Yuxiu Palace, so I will be more casual in the future." Tuoba Yu touched the blood jade on his waist and said lightly.
Youyou glanced at Zhen Xiang who was standing and frowned, "Zhen Xiang, are there any happy events in the palace that need to be celebrated recently?!"
Zhen Xiang was stunned for a moment, then began to think, "Hua Guifei will celebrate her coming-of-age ceremony half a month ago, and Zheng Meiren just celebrated her birthday two days ago..." She shook her head, "There seems to be nothing in the palace to celebrate.
"
Tuoba Yu frowned slightly and said, "Think again!"
Zhen Xiang was startled again and glanced at the people in the room. Unexpectedly, they all had blank faces.
Just when he and the others were puzzled, an irritable and clear voice came from outside the hall.
"No, it's not good, Emperor Boss..."
Accompanying the sound was a slender figure, whose whole body seemed to be blown in by a gust of wind.
Tuoba Rui immediately frowned and scolded, "Tuoba Qin, is this how your Master Ye taught you etiquette?!"
Tuoba Qin touched his heart, pursed his lips in displeasure, and whispered, "It's my master, it's none of your business!"
She doesn't allow anyone to speak ill of her master, even if it's to say that she has harmed her master!
"so rude!"
The tone was quiet, neither bland nor salty, and it came across lightly.
Tuoba Qin suddenly stood up straight and bowed respectfully to Tuoba Rui, "Brother Jiu, are you feeling better? Does your head still hurt? Is your body still weak? Are you still vomiting blood?"
There was no way she could help it. She had grown up following the emperor in her family. Apart from her master, she recognized the emperor as her boss.
Tuoba Rui's face suddenly became colorful.
When did he get a headache? His body became weak? He vomited blood?
Now he wanted to vomit blood and frowned. He didn't know when his sister would be able to behave properly and look like a princess!
Tuoba Yu curled his lips and said lightly, "Tell me, why is our little Princess Qin so panicked?!"
"Ouch!" Tuoba Qin shouted, and suddenly rushed to Tuoba Yu with an exaggerated expression, "Boss of the Emperor, Grandma Huang are leading Hua Guiren, Zheng Meiren and other beauties whose names I can't remember.
Your Longqi Palace..."
Looking at the sky from the window in the palace, "About half an hour ago..."
Before she could finish her words, a hurricane suddenly passed by her face.
Tuoba Qin touched her nose, and the next moment, she was happy.
Haha, I saw a good show.
Thinking about it, I happily lifted up my skirt, jumped up and ran over.
Tuoba Rui's face twitched violently. What did his sister learn from her master? Troublemaker or sharp tongue?!
Thinking of something, Tuoba Rui also stood up and headed towards Longqi Palace.
Lord Loulan followed Tuoba Yu as soon as he left the palace.
The remaining Nan Jue and Zhen Xiang stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and then they hurried away belatedly.
————————————————
Dragon Palace.
Bo Liuzhi and Nan Yue knelt in the center of the hall, their heads hanging down, feeling uneasy.
Bo Liuzhi's palms began to sweat.
Although she has traveled to the Dongling Dynasty for more than six years, she has never really seen the ancient imperial power system.
Just like now, she and Nanyue had been kneeling on the ground for almost half an hour, but the Queen Mother in front of them never said a word to ask them to get up.
It was okay for her to kneel, but Nanyue was Tuoba Rui's royal concubine after all, but the Empress Dowager still didn't let her get up...
"Raise your heads to the Aijia!" His voice was full of energy, not angry or authoritative.
Bo Liuzhi shook hands slightly, and saw Nan Yue raising her head from the corner of her eye, and then she slowly raised her head.
When he saw the Queen Mother sitting upright, a look of surprise flashed through her eyes.
Her sharp eyes were bright and clear, revealing a strong look of disdain, staring at her with no concealment.
Shrinking in his heart, Bo Liuzhi hurriedly lowered his eyes.
Seeing how timid she was, the contempt in the Queen Mother's eyes became even thicker.
Early today, I heard rumors in the palace that the emperor carried a "stunning beauty" into Longqi Palace last night and sent all the palace residents out, but he was alone with her in the palace.
All night long.
If the emperor just summoned a woman to sleep with him, there would be nothing wrong with him.
However, it was a well-known fact in the palace that the emperor never left his concubines to stay overnight in Longqi Palace.
Therefore, I became somewhat curious about this rumored "peerless beauty".
In addition, when a certain concubine paid her respects earlier, they all asked to go to Longqi Palace to see her.
She knew it in her heart.
If any of the concubines appeared in Longqi Palace without permission, there would be only one outcome: spending forever in the dark in the cold palace.
It was rare for all the concubines to be united, so she followed the trend and came to have a look in person, which satisfied her curiosity.
But what she didn't expect was that Princess Rui was also in Longqi Palace...
His slightly cloudy eyes fell on Nan Yue, and he really didn't like her.
What she did in Dongling City has long been known to the whole city. If she hadn't been the daughter of the Yuchi family, she would never have allowed a woman like her to marry into the royal family.
Fortunately, Ruier finally married Qingqing as his concubine.
She felt relieved now that Qingqing was in Prince Rui's mansion.
So he said in a deep voice, "Princess Rui, please get up."
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Nan Yue stood up after saying that, glanced at Bo Liuzhi who was kneeling beside her, and pursed her lips.
Seeing that Nanyue agreed to stand up, she should be asked to get up next.
Bo Liuzhi thought in his heart, but after waiting, he still didn't see her and asked her to get up...
"What's your name?!" The Queen Mother's majestic voice struck Bo Liuzhi.
"My name is……"
"Presumptuous!" Bo Liuzhi opened his mouth, but was stopped by a sweet shout.
Concubine Hua snorted softly, "How dare you ignore the majesty of the Empress Dowager? I think you don't want to live anymore!"
Bo Liuzhi twitched the corner of his mouth uneasily.
How did she "ignore"?
Hasn't she spoken yet?
"The Empress Dowager, please don't be surprised. This is the first time Ah Zhi has entered the palace, and he has not yet begun to learn the rules of the palace. Therefore, I am biased. Please forgive me, the Empress Dowager and all the concubines!"
Nanyue frowned and knelt down again.
In the palace, no one should say "slave" or "slave" when facing his master.
Now it can be said that Ah Zhi doesn't understand the rules in the palace. How can she survive in this huge palace in the future?!
Bo Liuzhi also frowned after hearing her words.
The Empress Dowager looked at Nan Yue indifferently and saw that she knew etiquette and was more pleasing to the eye than the other one who didn't understand anything. So she softened her stern expression and said, "Princess Rui, please get up. There is no need to do this in front of Grandma Huang."
Kneel down at every turn, damaging the relationship between you and my mother-in-law."
"Yes, the Queen Mother!" Nan Yue said warmly, biting her lip and stood up.
He began to think about the purpose of coming to Longqi Palace while the young emperor was away.
Glancing at the kneeling Bo Liuzhi, he thought to himself, could it be because she stayed at Longqi Palace overnight?!
"Ai Jia asked you, what is your name?!" the Queen Mother asked again.
Bo Liuzhi rolled his eyes, raised his voice slightly, and said, "Bo Liuzhi!"
Okay, just now she said the word "I" and was criticized, so she should be able to remove the word now, right?!
However...
"Although Aijia is old, he is not so old that he is deaf. Why are you so loud!"
The Empress Dowager did this purely!
Bo Liuzhi thought bitterly in his heart.
"The Empress Dowager, I think it's because of the Emperor's favor that she doesn't take you seriously..."
Concubine Hua said in a coquettish voice, "In this palace, there are some servants who don't know the heights of the world. They think they can fly on a branch and turn into a phoenix overnight, so they start to feel arrogant!"
grass!!!
She really wasn't afraid of biting her tongue when she spoke, no matter what she said.
She used the skill of confusing right and wrong very well!
Bo Liuzhi bit her lip, clenched her fist tightly, and resisted the urge to punch her.
There is no way, she can't tolerate other people's territory and must tolerate it, otherwise she will be the one who suffers in the end.
Now she finally sees it.
These groups of people were all here to cause trouble for her.
Nan Yue also felt angry when she heard this.
I have long heard that Hua Yi, the daughter of General Hua Shuo, who is in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops, has been doing whatever she wants in the palace and is arrogant and domineering since she entered the palace.
Today, she finally saw it!
However, she will never allow anyone to bully the people she cares about in front of her.
That's all for the Empress Dowager, she is the elder after all.
But she didn't take this gorgeous concubine seriously.
So, Nan Yue snorted coldly, opened her mouth and was about to speak, when a lazy voice came from behind her at the right moment.
"Oh... isn't this my gentle, lovely and very beautiful Imperial Grandma?!" Tuoba Yu shook the blood jade around his waist.
He slowly wandered in, the corners of his mouth raised evilly, and he glanced at the person kneeling on the ground calmly.
The Empress Dowager looked at him carelessly, and leaned towards him without any trace of an emperor's appearance. Her eyes were helpless but full of love, and the corners of her wrinkled mouth were tightened. She said, "Yu'er, you are now
The emperor should look like an emperor!"
Tuoba Yu cradled his arms around the Empress Dowager, sat down next to her, crowded on the stool with her, and said indifferently, "Grandma Huang, you haven't seen your handsome and extraordinary wife for almost a month.
If you have a grandson, you can’t be nice to your grandson.”
As he said that, he pointed to the concubines standing on both sides.
"Look, there are so many people watching, how can you let your grandson establish his authority in the future?!"
The implication is that he originally did not allow any female to step into his Dragon Palace, but she just took them all over. Isn't this a blatant challenge to his authority?
How could she not understand the meaning behind his words? The Empress Dowager was a little embarrassed, "Yu'er also knows that I haven't seen Grandma Huang for more than a month. Grandma Huang misses you, so she came to see you in person."
Yes or no, everyone knows it in their heart.
Tuoba Yu didn't want to tell the truth, his phoenix eyes circled around the hall, and finally landed on Bo Liuzhi, pretending to be surprised, "Grandma Huang, Zhi Zhi has made some big mistake and made you unhappy.
You are punishing me by kneeling down in this winter.
The grandson is thinking that he must have offended Grandma Huang very much, otherwise Grandma Huang would not be so cruel with her kind and generous character, don’t you think so, Grandma Huang?!"
Tuoba Qin, who arrived later and stood outside the door, sighed softly, "As expected of the emperor, look how good he is at talking!"
But she was thinking in her heart that her master was also like this, which often made her so embarrassed that she couldn't speak.
Well, I haven’t seen the master all morning, I miss him so much!
Forget it, let's stop watching the fun, she wants to go home and see her master.
So he turned around and ran away quickly.
Tuoba Rui frowned and looked at her disappearing background, feeling a headache!
He shook his head and turned to look at someone in the hall.
The Empress Dowager moved her lips slightly and sneered, "You see, Grandma Huang is so old, she forgot that there are still people kneeling..."
He turned his head to look at Bo Liuzhi and smiled gently, "Get up."
Bo Liuzhi is quite experienced, and everyone is very good at pretending.
Wrinkling her nose, she slowly stood up.
But after kneeling for too long, she felt dizzy as soon as she stood up, causing her to almost stop standing.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Nanyue grabbed her arm and she managed to stabilize her body.
Tuoba Yufeng's eyes darkened a bit, but the smile at the corner of his mouth deepened, "Grandma Huang, how are you planning to celebrate your eightieth birthday?"
The Empress Dowager was slightly startled, "Yu'er, why do you ask this?!"
"Of course I'm celebrating Grandma Huang's birthday!" Tuoba Yu said, his eyes seemingly unintentionally falling on Bo Liuzhi, who had his head lowered.
Bo Liuzhiben was listening to the two of them talking quietly, and suddenly felt a very strong gaze sweeping towards her.
She raised her eyes and saw the man who was talking to the Empress Dowager staring at her with a charming smile.
His heart skipped a beat, and Bo Liuzhi lowered his head slightly.
His look made her inexplicably think of what he had done to her in the morning. She closed her eyes and felt her ears burning.
After that, she was not in the mood to listen to what the two of them were talking about, it was always about things related to the birthday banquet.
After a while, the room gradually became quiet. I felt suspicious and raised my head to look.
But she saw that she was the only two people left in the huge palace...

[Birthday banquet... Guess what the little emperor's plan is... In the next chapter, two people are left in the palace... Hehe, what will happen??]
