Hearing the Queen Mother's call, Forsythia hurriedly ran in. She had just gone to look for Cui Yun and couldn't find it for a long time. When she returned to the main tent, before she had time to take a breath, she was out of breath and said, "What is the Queen Mother's order?"
?”
"Go to Cui Yun and ask her to arrange an audience with the Prime Minister of Xia County."
Forsythia: I really cried to death... She just went to see Miss Cui. Why was she told to come back and go to see Miss Cui again?
Forsythia turned around and left without tears. Then she heard the sound of the curtain being opened. She looked forward with great expectation to see if Ms. Cui was back. However, she was disappointed to find that the person in front of her had nothing to do with Ms. Cui.
They were half similar, and upon closer inspection, the person who came was actually Liu Xiaochun, the newly appointed eunuch in charge of the house.
"Supervisor Liu, why are you here?"
Although Liu Xiaochun has a young name and is even younger, he is very sophisticated in his dealings. Ever since he entered Yongguang Hall from the position of chamberlain, everyone in Yongguang Hall has been full of praise for him. Even Sheng Shaoqing does not know when.
Noticed this person.
Seeing that the Queen Mother had nothing to say, Liu Xiaochun changed his tone and said in a relaxed tone, "It's almost lunch time. I came to see if the Queen Mother has any special instructions. This morning, Your Majesty and He Bandu will go hunting with Master Lin."
I got the rabbit and was about to present it to the Queen Mother!"
"What?"
"He actually went hunting?!"
Liu Xiaochun originally wanted to perform a favor for His Majesty and show His Majesty's filial piety, but he did not expect that this would touch the Queen Mother's back. While mentally slapping himself, he tried to smooth things over for Yuan Che, "Your Majesty.
I also want to show my filial piety, and with Master Lin here, nothing will happen to Your Majesty."
"It's too late if something happens!"
Sheng Shaoqing kept telling himself in his heart that it was normal for children to be playful, don't be angry, don't be angry, and after a while he calmed down and said, "Then where is he now?"
Seeing that the Queen Mother's tone was much gentler, Liu Xiaochun was slightly relieved and said, "Your Majesty has returned. You should change in the tent now and prepare to come over to have lunch with the Queen Mother."
"In a moment, go and call He Bandu over to have dinner with you."
Liu Xiaochun let out an "ah" sound, sweating in his heart for His Majesty and He Bandu, and silently retreated.
Liu Xiaochun withdrew, Forsythia also went out to look for Cui Yun, and Aning should have gone to prepare lunch. Seeing that there was no one in the tent, Sheng Shaoqing awkwardly asked the system, "Well, do you have any parenting experience? Or a manual.
some type of?"
system:.
[Host, I know you are in a hurry, but please don’t be anxious yet.]
"Can you not be in a hurry!"
"If I was caught by my mother when I was out in the wild, I would definitely not be able to escape a severe beating. At that time, I thought that I would never become a violent person like my mother, but you see, I
When I heard that Yuan Che actually ran out to hunt, I couldn't help but feel that evil fire!"
[People will always become things they hate, you have to learn to accept this. 】
Sheng Shaoqing:
"Is there really no method? Or a guide or something like that?"
[Yes.] Seeing that Sheng Shaoqing was speechless and choked, the system decided to help her, [However, I will give you a piece of advice, it will only be easy to understand on paper, but you must do it in detail.]
Sheng Shaoqing cursed, "You need to teach me this - bring it to you!"
The system had no choice but to throw all kinds of information in front of Sheng Shaoqing, including various types of educational psychology and the characteristics of children of different ages.
Sheng Shaoqing wailed, "Do you have a provincial version?"
【No.】
Sheng Shaoqing opened the first book, and before he saw the tenth line, his brain began to feel sleepy. Cui Yun's hurried footsteps outside came to Sheng Shaoqing's ears like a burst of heavenly music.
System: You are asking for trouble.
"Queen Mother, what do you want to do with me?"
Seeing Cui Yun's eyes were red, Sheng Shaoqing thought someone had bullied her, but as Cui Yun, who in the entire palace would dare to be disrespectful to Ms. Cui?
"What are you—?" Sheng Shaoqing asked, pointing to the red and swollen eye circles that Cui Yun tried his best to hide.
"It's okay - Wei Chen is okay, Wei Chen just ran in a hurry and was blinded by the wind and sand."
Sheng Shaoqing said speechlessly, "Do you all like to regard me as a fool? It just rained yesterday. Where did the wind get so much sand? Besides, how can there be wind here today?"
When Cui Yun came in, the curtain immediately dropped and remained motionless. Where did the wind come from?
Cui Yun pursed her lips, and her eye circles instantly turned redder. When Lu Qingfeng was angry with her, she was not so aggrieved, but now that she was comforted by the Queen Mother, her tears couldn't stop.
Cui Yun's tears fell one by one, but she bit her lips tightly and refused to speak. Sheng Shaoqing knew that Cui Yun had a strong temper. If she didn't want to speak, even if Sheng Shaoqing beat her to death, she wouldn't speak.
"It's okay if you don't want to talk about it. I just have something else to do with you."
"But forget about your current appearance, I'll just go find Aning."
Cui Yun immediately wiped the tears on his cheeks with his sleeves and said stubbornly, "Wei Chen is fine! It's just the Queen Mother's order."
"Weichen is going now!"
"I want to summon Xia Yuhuai, but if you are like this, others will think that I have done something to Miss Cui, who is usually the most favored by the Queen Mother."
Cui Yun was a little embarrassed by Sheng Shaoqing's strange aura. She blushed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will wash your face first and then go to invite Mr. Xia. Make sure no outsiders can see it!"
"go Go."
Cui Yun trotted away and disappeared. Sheng Shaoqing looked at her fleeing figure and thought to herself, what is so good about Lu Qingfeng that he could make Cui Yun tolerate him like this? How disgusting!
After a while, Cui Yun turned back, followed by an old man who was slightly older but still energetic. He was wearing a green official uniform and had wooden clogs on his feet, and he walked forward creakingly.
Sheng Shaoqing saw that Cui Yun's face seemed to have been put on makeup again. As expected, no trace of tears could be seen, and even the previous redness and swelling had disappeared. Sheng Shaoqing thought to himself that he would definitely ask how this heaven-defying evil technique was achieved.
, can the swelling be removed so quickly?!
"I - Xia Yuhuai - pay my respects to - the Queen Mother! The Queen Mother - the empress - a thousand years old - a thousand years old - a thousand years old!"
Xia Yuhuai sang a long tune while singing the salute. After a few bows, he stood up amidst Sheng Shaoqing's excuses.
"Master Xia, I have been waiting for a long time. It is true that I encountered some small troubles yesterday and delayed my journey. Why is Xia County Cheng here in person today?"
Xia Yuhuai replied respectfully, "The Queen Mother and Your Majesty are in trouble in the Xiayi area where I am serving. As the magistrate of Xiayi County, I naturally have to help the Queen Mother solve the problem."
"Oh?" Sheng Shaoqing said amusedly, "That's really hard work for Xia County Cheng."
"It's just that - I don't seem to have sent anyone to report to Xiayi. How could Xiaxian Cheng know that I was delayed instead of passing through Xiayi?"
Sheng Shaoqing's unintentional question seemed to hit Xia Yuhuai's intention. Xia Yuhuai smiled faintly and said, "I am also concerned about the safety of the emperor. The Queen Mother arrived at Zhouzhi two days ago. After counting the days yesterday, I estimate that she will soon arrive at Xiayi.
But there is still no news, but if the Queen Mother skips Xiayi and goes to Chenliu, that is impossible."
"Why is this?"
Xia Yuhuai said calmly, "From Zhouzhi to Chenliu, this road is the only straight official road. Not to mention the other small roads that are detoured, there is often the embarrassing situation of finding that there is no way to go in the middle of the journey, so the Queen Mother will definitely pass by Xiayi
.The imperial chariot was slow and it was impossible to cross Xiayi within two days, so Wei Chen deduced that the Queen Mother had encountered some delay on the way, so she brought people to greet her, hoping to help the Queen Mother.
One or two.”
"Then I have failed Mr. Xia's kindness?"
Xia Yuhuai kept saying he didn't dare, but the expression on his face clearly relaxed.
"This place is quite far away from Xiayi. It's hard for Xiaxian Cheng to travel. It just so happens that-"
Sheng Shaoqing stared at Xia Yuhuai's clogs and said, "I just got a pair of clogs here, so I'll give them to Master Xia."
Sheng Shaoqing signaled to An Ning, who then took out a pair of wooden clogs from behind and brought them to Master Xia.
Xia Yuhuai was stared at and was a little confused. Why did the Queen Mother... reward her with a pair of shoes?
"this………"
Xia Yuhuai hesitated and said, "I would like to thank the Empress Dowager for the reward. I will enshrine these clogs when I return home and guard the Buddha's blessing day and night."
Sheng Shaoqing smiled and said, "It's just a pair of wooden clogs. If you offer them in front of the Buddha, you won't be afraid of insulting the Buddha's eyes. Just put them on now."
Xia Yuhuai suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart when he saw the Queen Mother's smiling but unquestionable tone, and the maid named Aning walking firmly towards her.
Aning said respectfully, "Master Xia, my servant is here to help you change your clogs."
"Ah - no no no! How dare you work my aunt! I will do it myself!"
Xia Yuhuai lifted up his official robe, awkwardly took off his clogs, and put on the clogs given by the Queen Mother.
The pair of wooden clogs hidden under Xia Yuhuai's wide official robe were covered with mud, and traces of stains could even be seen on the official robe.
Aning carefully picked up the clogs that Xia Yuhuai had replaced, and placed them some distance away from Sheng Shaoqing but where he could clearly see them, waiting for the Queen Mother to speak.
"Master Xia, what's wrong with your clogs?"
Xia Yuhuai looked at the muddy clogs and his face turned pale. He really forgot to clean the clogs!
No! He thought such a big skirt could cover his clogs!
Who would have thought that the Queen Mother would reward her with clogs!
This is too much for him!
Xia Yuhuai smiled awkwardly and said, "It rained last night. I just walked around in the camp and soiled my clogs. It's really unbecoming of me... I soiled the Holy Eye of the Queen Mother!"
Cui Yun wondered at the side, "Mr.
After saying that, Cui Yun quietly lifted up a corner of his official robe and looked at the colorful boots under his feet. He had run so many times in the camp, but these boots were still clean. How could they be like what Mr. Xia said?
dirty?
What's more, Xia Yuhuai has been waiting in Mr. Li's camp since he got off the carriage. Where is he walking around in the camp?
The only possibility is that Mr. Xia is lying!
"I-I-, this-"
"Master Xia, you didn't get up this morning and set out, right?"
"If what I said is right, you were already waiting by the official road yesterday, right?"
"Seeing that I was stopped and camped here again, I pretended to have arrived early this morning, right?"
Xia Yuhuai saw that he couldn't hide it, so he sighed and nodded, "It's all Wei Chen's fault... It's all Chen's fault!"
Sheng Shaoqing waved his hand and asked all the people to leave, leaving only a few people who were waiting close by to accompany him.
"Explain?"
"The calamity of Tiancai is really hard to withstand!" Xia Yuhuai shouted in a tearful tone, "Queen Mother! If you had ignored this rubbish in the official road yesterday, Wei Chen... Wei Chen would really have no choice!"
"I already know the origin of this stone. But Chunshan Mountain is still far away from here. Why did the magistrate of Fengchun County ignore it and let you, the magistrate of Xiayi County, sue?"
Xia Yuhuai calmed down and said, "Queen Mother, although Chunshan is far away, disaster is approaching. The magistrate of Fengchun County is already a lackey of Tiancaihui. If I don't care about it anymore, the people of Xiayi will become something like this."
A member of Tiancai Club!"
"The Tiancai Society used to only harm the luxurious, but now it doesn't even spare the common people!"
Xia Yuhuai became more and more excited as he talked, and the veins on his forehead were about to burst, "The people in Fengchun sold their children and daughters just for that stone. Tiancaihui's methods are so cruel!!"
Sheng Shaoqing frowned and said, "But Fengchun has never reported such news?!"
"Queen Mother!"
"They are like a nest of snakes and rats, and they are all working together. How could they possibly let the Queen Mother know about such a dirty thing?!"
"Fengchun...how do I remember that it is the fiefdom of Qinghe Prince's Mansion?"
Xia Yuhuai nodded with tears in his eyes. Aning felt a little ashamed of his tough attitude just now, so he took out his handkerchief and handed it to Xia Yuhuai.
Xia Yuhuai took the handkerchief and wiped his tears, then continued, "King Qinghe is addicted to this way, so he turns a blind eye to these little tricks. Some people even use the name of King Qinghe... to say...
...The Tiancai Stone originally originated from the Qinghe Palace."
"Then what do you mean by throwing the Tiancai Stone on the official road?"
Xia Yuhuai said aggrievedly, "Wei Chen is also afraid..."
"In the past, there was a censor who came to inspect, and the minister reported these things to him. Does the Queen Mother know what he said?"
Sheng Shaoqing shook his head and waited for Xia Yuhuai to add.
Xia Yuhuai glanced at Sheng Shaoqing and said, "They said that the Queen Mother's favorite thing in the palace was this kind of bonsai. The Queen Mother also once wrote an inscription for the president of the Tiancai Society... so..."
"You don't believe me?" Sheng Shaoqing asked helplessly. Isn't this a typical micro-business routine, using the name of having a meal or shaking hands with a big boss to deceive? Her boss really knows this!
That photo of shaking hands with *** in the company is still hanging in the lobby and showing off?
Xia Yuhuai shook his head repeatedly and said, "Wei Chen does not believe the censor, but for the sake of safety, I can only take this approach. If the Queen Mother fails to discover this, Wei Chen..."
Xia Yuhuai thought about the twists and turns of his life and sighed, "I can only accept my fate."
