Chapter 84: Re-entering the Palace

After Xi Yunzhi went to the store to deal with some things, she went to the ready-to-wear shop she opened on Suzaku Street, picked out two sets of very elegant and sweet clothes from it, and took two or three boxes of brand new rouge, and then returned to the house.

I wanted to come back and arrange the dinner of Brother Qin and their party, but who knows, the porter Lao Lu told her that after noon, the guests will go out of the house to play, and a big guy will leave her a message saying that she should not prepare a large piece of meat and a big bowl of wine for dinner, and they will solve it outside.

Xi Yunzhi sent two sets of sweet clothes and three boxes of exquisite rouge to Brother Qin's room, and he went to the backyard to play with Xiao An.

Xiao An can already say a lot now, his mouth is very sharp, he can chat with anyone for a long time, Xi Yunzhi held him in his arms, and took the trouble to talk to him and write with him.

Brother Qin and the others did not return until Bu Qin came back in the evening.

Xi Yunzhi's body was a little tired, half lying on the soft couch to read the embroidery book, looking at it and actually falling asleep, feeling her body floating in her sleep, she opened her eyes suddenly, and saw her husband's handsome face, Bu Qin was afraid that she would catch a cold, and wanted to carry her to the bed to sleep, but she didn't expect to wake her up.

Xi Yunzhi slept for a while, came to his senses again, put his arms around his neck and asked, "Have you had dinner?" ”

Bu Qin nodded: "I used it in the trial hall of the Criminal Department." ”

Xi Yunzhi imagined that scene: "There are prisoners pressed under the hall, maybe it will be bloody, and you can still eat it." ”

Bu Qin smiled: "The prisoner is not recruited, and the dry consumption is also consumed, so just eat something." ”

"......" Xi Yunzhi smiled and took off his coat for him, took out his middle coat from the sandalwood cabinet, and changed into clean clothes for him, Xi Yunzhi took the initiative to say:

"Brother Qin, they went out and didn't eat in the house."

"Well, I know, they went to the Criminal Department to find me, and then they were invited to Guanghua Building by the King of Rong'an County, and it is estimated that they have drunk high at the moment."

Xi Yunzhi was tidying up his coat, and when he heard him say this, he couldn't help asking, "Why did the King of Rong'an invite them?" ”

Bu Qin looked like you didn't know something: "The king of Rong'an grew up with Brother Qin since he was a child, and when he grew up, the king of the county followed the prince back to the capital, married a wife and had children, and they haven't seen each other for several years." ”

"Oh." Only then did Xi Yunzhi understand the meaning.

Bu Qin saw her nodding again and again, lazy and a little casual, and she looked more feminine and moving with her long hair and shawl, and hugged her into her arms:

"Won't you ask Brother Qin about me and me?"

Xi Yunzhi was puzzled: "What happened to my husband and Brother Qin?" ”

Bu Qin didn't expect her to ask so directly, and shook her head decisively: "No." ”

Xi Yunzhi glanced at him coquettishly, and said softly: "What does that husband want me to ask?" ”

"......" Bu Qin was momentarily choked by her rhetorical question, and didn't know how to answer, so he touched his nose and said for a long time: "That's it, you don't see Brother Qin's attitude towards me...... Isn't it the same? ”

Xi Yunzhi nodded: "I can see it." But as long as her husband is still like that to her, I have nothing to ask. ”

"Okay." For the first time, Bu Qin felt frustrated in life, and spread his hands: "Since you don't need help, forget it." ”

Originally, he wanted to listen to her words of help from this little woman, but he was proud in front of her and acted as a messenger to protect flowers, but he didn't expect kindness to be a donkey's liver and lungs, and this little woman didn't plan to ask him for help on Brother Qin'er's problem at all.

couldn't help but scare: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, Brother Qin'er has a very bad temper, and most men don't dare to mess with her." ”

After thinking about it, Xi Yunzhi asked what she thought was the most critical question: "Then will she beat me?" ”

Bu Qin frowned: "That's not it." ”

"Oh, that'll do." Xi Yunzhi made a gesture that I would be relieved, and Bu Qin couldn't help but bury herself in her shoulder socket and laughed sullenly.

After the husband and wife fought for a while, they were willing to lie back on the bed, because they wanted too hard last night, so Bu Qin just hugged Xi Yunzhi to sleep tonight, and did not make any out-of-the-ordinary moves.

Xi Yunzhi was in her husband's arms and had a good night's sleep.

She woke up the next morning.

Took the initiative to go to the kitchen to arrange breakfast and made some meat buns and pastries by hand.

As soon as the hour arrived, the cooks had just put the porridge bowls on the table, Bu Chengzong and Bu Chi came together, the two elders resigned and sat on the main seat, Xi Yunzhi personally served them two blue and white porcelain porridge bowls, the moist white porridge felt crystal in the morning light, she brought the buns and pastries to the table, and made a few plates of refreshing cold dishes, after handing the chopsticks to Bu Chi, she stood on the side, serving the two elders to eat.

Bu Qin sweated profusely and walked in, followed by Brother Qin, who was also stained with sweat, it seems that these two people are fighting again today, looking at Brother Qin'er's expression, he must have lost.

Xi Yunzhi took the towel that had been prepared a long time ago and wiped the sweat beads for Bu Tan, lowered his head in embarrassment under his gaze, and after Xi Yunzhi wiped him, he also sat down, patted the stool next to Xi Yunzhi, and said:

"Don't be busy, sit down and eat."

"You eat first, I'll wait for Xiao An to get up and eat with him."

Xi Yunzhi smiled at Bu Qin, and then continued to be busy, brought Brother Qin and Lu Heng's porridge bowls to the front, handed the chopsticks respectively, and when they were handed to Brother Qin, Xi Yunzhi deliberately used her chopsticks to clip the largest meat bun for her, and said:

"Brother Qin is also tired, the physical strength of the girl's family is not as good as that of the man, it is better to eat more."

The tone was gentle as if she was about to pinch out the water, Brother Qin looked at her and had goosebumps, this woman was as soft as a pile of cotton, no matter how hard she hit it, there was no other reaction, on the contrary, the tone became more and more gentle, and the movements became more and more lingering, so that people couldn't get angry if they wanted to.

Bu Tan looked at the battle situation over there while eating, and suddenly understood that Xi Yunzhi asked her last night if Brother Qin would beat her, because in addition to being not as strong as Brother Qin'er, in his wife, Brother Qin was really not easy to bargain for, seeing her sulking appearance, Bu Qin smiled and ate breakfast.

Bu Chi ate and ate, and suddenly said:

"I haven't seen him for many years, I feel that Qin Er loves to smile more than before, and people are not so rigid, once his face was pulled down, eight horses couldn't pull it back."

After a silence at the dinner table, seeing that Bu Qin was not angry, they all dared to let out a laugh of Qi Brushing Brush, and Bu Qin continued to eat disapprovingly, as if it was not him who was laughing now, but someone else.

Bu Chengzong also glanced at Bu Qin, took a sip of the porridge cooked by his granddaughter-in-law, and smiled with satisfaction:

"Yes, it was all tuned and taught by his daughter-in-law. I don't want to see that kid die again. ”

Bu Chi was amused by Bu Chengzong's words, looked at Bu Qin, and hoped that he would also say something, but saw that Bu Qin finished drinking the porridge in three or two sips, stood up, supported the edge of the dining table with both hands, and generously admitted:

"Yes, in the past, there was no woman around a man with strong blood, and it was inevitable that the fire would be bigger, and there would be a place to offend you, so Bu Qin will confess."

Xi Yunzhi was embarrassed when he heard this, but the old and young masters at the dinner table were in an unprecedentedly high mood. One by one, they unscrupulously discussed the meaning of how men are not hot.

A breakfast, eating is quite lively.

***

After finishing breakfast, Xi Yunzhi wanted to accompany Xiao An out to play, but unexpectedly someone came to the palace.

When Qin Ge'er and Lu Heng heard that there were people in the palace, they all ran out of their small courtyard, thinking that the emperor had summoned them, but who knew that the emperor's personal eunuch Liu Chao came over and said that it was the emperor who sent Xi Yunzhi to the palace to meet them.

Xi Yunzhi was shocked in his heart, and invited Liu Chao aside and asked, "Father-in-law, I don't know why the emperor summoned me?" ”

Liu Chao is a good person, he just knows why, and he won't tell you directly, he just smiled apologetically at Xi Yunzhi, and hugged his fists to salute: "Eh, Madame forgive me, the slave really doesn't know why the emperor summoned him, maybe the queen is relying on it, doesn't Madame understand when she enters the palace by herself?" ”

Xi Yunzhi was a little hesitant, and was thinking about whether to send someone to the Criminal Department to send a message to her husband, but Liu Chao urged again.

Xi Yunzhi was helpless, so he had to take advantage of the time to change his clothes, so he asked Ruyi to secretly go to the criminal department, and he hurriedly changed his clothes and sat in the soft sedan chair that entered the palace.

Lu Heng and Qiangsheng were puzzled, and Lao Lu, who was holding the porter, asked, "Why is Mrs. also familiar with the emperor?" How could the lady be passed into the palace? ”

Lao Lu explained for Xi Yunzhi: "Oh, the Jinlan sisters behind the relationship between the queen mother and our wife, the frequent visitors in our lady's palace, are not strange. ”

Zhang Guo listened to it on the side, his mind was on Brother Qin, and when he saw that she was displeased, he naturally wanted to speak for her, so he counted it down:

"Heh, I thought that woman was just in love with our young master, but I didn't expect her to fall in love with a queen mother. No wonder she was able to seal the Lady of Commandment. ”

Brother Qin glared at him coldly: "If you don't speak, you'll die?" ”

“……”

Lu Heng and Johnson laughed on the side, and Zhang Guo kicked the iron plate countless times.

***

Xi Yunzhi was taken into the Zhongyuan Hall with apprehension. To Xi Yunzhi's surprise, she and Xiao Luo were not the only two people in today's Zhongyuan Palace, but also Li You, the left prime minister, and Zhenguo Gonghe Liancheng, who had met once at the reward banquet.

With these two people here, Xi Yunzhi felt much more relieved, but she couldn't help but wonder why the emperor asked her to come.

"Madam, last time you told me that you wanted to be a military quartermaster, after I discussed it with the two Aiqing, the two Aiqing felt that it was not impossible, so they asked you to enter the palace to discuss."

When Xi Yunzhi heard this, he glanced at Zuo Xiang and Zhen Guogong, only to see Zuo Xiang Li You walking in front of Xi Yunzhi with a mustache, and said in a slight voice:

"Mrs. Bu has strong financial resources, and Li has also heard a little about it in the capital, if Mrs. is willing to take over the soldiers' seasonal clothes and armor, it will also be a blessing for the court."

Xi Yunzhi listened quietly, only to see Zuo Xiang and Helian glancing at each other, and then said:

"However, the ministers also talked to the emperor about this before, because Madame mentioned it suddenly, I bought forty stone of cloth with the merchants of the southern country at the beginning of the year, and hoarded it in the household warehouse, if Madame wants to take over this matter, then can I also take over the cloth in the household warehouse?"

Xi Yunzhi saw that his tone was suspicious, so he pondered and replied: "If the household department has already entered the fabric used this year, you will naturally be the user department." ”

Li You clapped his hands: "Okay, with Madame's words, I'll be relieved." ”

After speaking, he turned around and said to Xiao Luo after the dragon case: "Your Majesty, since Mrs. Bu wants to serve the country, then we don't want to hinder Mrs. Bu's loyalty, and the matter of making clothes, the ministers are willing to give full authority to Mrs. Bu." ”

“……”

Xi Yunzhi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhenguo Gonghe Liancheng:

"Madame's righteousness will surely spread the beauty to the world. The officers and men in the army will also be grateful for the affection of their wives. ”

Li You, the left minister, immediately presented the account book of the household department, and then withdrew from the Zhongyuan Hall with the two of them. In the huge palace, only Xiao Luo and Xi Yunzhi were left.

"I also felt that the two of them agreed too lightly, so I sent a secret guard to the household department to investigate, and there were indeed mountains of cloth in the household warehouse, which matched the accounts, and Madame could rest assured."

Xi Yunzhi held the account book, feeling that this matter was too strange, and when she was thinking about it, she didn't notice that Xiao Luo didn't know when she came to her.
