Chapter 654: Who Do You Say the Child Will Be Like?

The fifth princess, who was completely left out, looked at the much-loved Persian cat on the queen mother's lap, and interjected with a smile: "What Mama Yao said is very true, cats eat too many sweets, not only bad teeth, but also sickness. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The Queen Mother immediately withdrew the snack and reached out to pat the cat's head. "Do you hear that? Always eating things you shouldn't eat is a ...... that makes you sick. ”

Fifth Princess: Why does she feel that the Queen Mother's words have a deep meaning and are warning her?

The Queen Mother carried the cat from her lap to the ground.

The snow-white cat immediately rushed out of the palace gate, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The Queen Mother didn't have to worry, because there were two palace maids outside the palace who took care of the cats and would watch it closely.

The Queen Mother threw the pastries licked by the cat in her hand on the table casually.

Mama Yao immediately stepped forward and took out a handkerchief to carefully wipe the fingers for the Queen Mother, but found that the fingers were still a little greasy and not clean, so she put away the handkerchief and looked at the Queen Mother and asked, "The old slave went to fetch some water to clean your hands." ”

"Hmm. The Queen Mother replied lightly, and Mama Yao turned around and walked out of the hall.

The Queen Mother took a sip of the teacup, then looked at the fifth princess and asked, "You just said that a few little eunuchs arranged the rights and wrongs of Zhuo Ya indiscriminately?"

The fifth princess nodded and put on an indignant look. "They actually said that Sister Nan was greedy for money, and she accepted a heavy gift from the eldest son of Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and wanted Lord Jing to show mercy when he investigated the case of Shangshu of the Criminal Department. Hui Yi couldn't be angry, and taught those little eunuchs with broken mouths a good lesson. ”

After hearing this, the Queen Mother said lightly: "If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you don't need to bother to teach a lesson, just order someone to drag it down and kill it." ”

“…… Yes, Hui Yi obeyed the teachings of the imperial grandmother. ”

"Well, you must be tired from serving the mourning family for a long time, so go back and rest. ”

"No, Hui Yi retired. The fifth princess bowed to the Queen Mother gracefully and then retreated. Out of the door of the main hall, Cistanche, the personal palace maid who was waiting on the side, immediately followed.

The fifth princess took Cistanche all the way out of Cining Palace, and kept recalling the look of the Queen Mother just now, but found that the Queen Mother was scheming, her expression was indifferent from beginning to end, and she didn't show any flaws, she didn't know if the other party had a plan!

She originally planned to deliberately say this incident to arouse the Queen Mother's disgust with Zhuo Nan.

After all, the Queen Mother wanted to avenge Mrs. Zhuo and deal with the prime minister, so she first took the book of the Criminal Department.

Zhuo Nan just accepted the heavy gift from the Tong Mansion, obviously against the Queen Mother.

I don't know if she has succeeded in sowing discord!

In the main hall, Mama Yao personally brought a end of warm water and helped the Queen Mother take off a finger sleeve to serve her to clean her hands. "Queen Mother, what did the fifth princess tell you again?"

"It's nothing, the little girl has a lot of eyes and wants to sow discord, but it's just a child's house. The Queen Mother disagreed.

After Mama Yao washed the Queen Mother's fingers with a piece of silk, she took out a piece of absorbent cotton cloth and helped the Queen Mother absorb the water stains on her hands little by little.

It is indeed to take the cotton cloth and gently press it down on the Queen Mother's fingers, so that the cotton cloth will automatically absorb the water stains on the top, rather than rudely wiping it so as not to hurt the Queen Mother's well-maintained skin.

"That's because she's so presumptuous because of your favor. "These five princesses are becoming more and more unruly, forgetting their own identity.

The Queen Mother said casually: "The mourning family has no children under their knees, and they like this child at first sight when they see her, and they have always raised her as their own daughter."

Her mother died early, and the emperor also favored her in the face of the mourning family.

When I was young, my cute mouth was sweet, and I liked to stick to the mourning family the most, and now I will calculate the mourning family when I grow up.

Alas, it's really not biological, and it can't be raised. ”

Mama Yao heard the imperceptible loss in the Queen Mother's words, and said with relief: "Queen Mother, after Mrs. Jing is pregnant and gives birth to her eldest son, you will carry him into the palace to raise him." At that time, he will only recognize you, the Queen Mother, and will not see Mrs. Jing and Lord Jing all year round, but will only be close to you. ”

The Queen Mother finally showed a hint of anticipation. Looking at Mama Yao, she asked with a yearning face, "Who do you say the child will be like?"

Mama Yao flattered: "Of course it's like the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother scolded with a smile: "You are also like other minions, and you will only tell lies to flatter the mourning family." ”

Mama Yao shook her head. "The old slave is true in every word, they all say that the son is like a mother, and like Mrs. Jing is not like you?"

The Queen Mother smiled sincerely, and even the frown at the corner of her eyes was squeezed out happily.

Prime Minister's Mansion, outside the study.

The third aunt walked in from outside the courtyard gate with a tonic.

Steward Zhou immediately greeted him and bowed his head and saluted. "Third aunt. ”

The third aunt handed the white porcelain cup containing the tonic to Steward Zhou. "Trouble the housekeeper to bring it in to the master, and the concubine will not bother the master to deal with the official documents. "Turn and leave.

Steward Zhou smelled the fragrance wafting from the white porcelain cup, and swallowed his saliva a little greedily.

Although the appearance of these three aunts is not as good as that of the fifth aunt, and her intelligence is not as good as that of her wife, she is the only woman who is willing to wash her hands and make soup for the master! Even so, he still does not like the simple and almost stupid nature of the third aunt.

Holding a white porcelain cup in one hand, he knocked on the door of the study with the other, and then waited for a while, even if he didn't hear the permission of the prime minister, he pushed open the door of the study and walked in.

Seeing that the prime minister was sitting behind the desk reviewing official documents, and put the white porcelain cup on the table on the side, he walked a few steps closer to the prime minister and said, "Master, the third aunt sent you a tonic again." ”

"Hmm. The prime minister replied without raising his head, and continued to process the official document with his head down. It wasn't until everything was taken care of that that he stood up and walked around his desk to the table to sit down and enjoy his tonics.

Steward Zhou turned his back to the prime minister to sort out the official documents that had just been processed, and after a while, he cleaned up the messy desk.

Then he turned around and walked to the prime minister's side to listen to the instructions, and watched him eat the nourishing wolfberry pigeon soup stewed by the third aunt herself.

A small cup of pigeon soup with two or three pieces of meat was gone, and the general strong man was gone, and the prime minister had to eat it for more than a quarter of an hour before he finished it.

Steward Zhou immediately handed over the handkerchief, and after the prime minister took it, he was busy putting the bones on the table into the white porcelain cup and covering the lid, and finally cleaned up the table.

After wiping his mouth, the prime minister put the handkerchief on the table, and Steward Zhou immediately picked it up and stuffed it into his cuffs.

Seeing that the prime minister seemed to be in a good mood, he took the opportunity to ask: "Master, the eldest lady has received a heavy gift from the criminal department Shangshu, and the eldest aunt is afraid that she will not be carefully investigating the case of the criminal department Shangshu, but you have already turned against him, and the slave is worried that the criminal department Shangshu will betray you, so it is better to ......." There was a hint of murder in his eyes.

The prime minister looked at Steward Zhou and chuckled. "You're thinking too much. The correspondence between Benxiang and Shangshu of the Criminal Department did not leave any evidence for any important events, and the evidence that could be found could not be implicated in Benxiang's body at all.

Unless the criminal department Shangshu helped Ben Xiang do those things, he shook it out by himself, and once he did, his whole family would be beheaded.

A smart person will only sacrifice himself to protect his family, and he asked his eldest son Tong Yuwen to give a gift to Jingrong, just to keep his family.

If you take the liberty of doing something to him, you will force him to choose to die in a hurry. ”
