Chapter 404: Words of Generosity
"Which mother?"
Lord Liu, the proposed decree officer, was stunned for a moment, and asked the little eunuch sideways.
The little eunuch smiled at him, and pointed to Feng Yuan who was parked not far behind him: "Lord Liu, it's the queen mother who invited you to go over and talk about it." ”
"The Queen?" Lord Liu's face changed, and he immediately realized why the queen stopped him here and wanted to "talk" with him.
After a silence, he arched his hand to the little eunuch: "Then Father-in-law Lao will lead the way." ”
"Well said, Lord Liu, please."
The two of them came to kneel in front of Feng Yuan one after the other.
"Niangniang, Lord Liu is here." The little eunuch knelt on the ground and said.
Lord Liu also knelt on the ground: "The old minister Liu Yun sees the queen's mother." ”
Although Xiao Caiju was very anxious in her heart, her face was kind: "Lord Liu, please get up." ”
Her voice was full of laughter: "I see that Master Liu is in a hurry, where are you going?" ”
Liu Yun thought for a while: "If you go back to Niangniang, the old minister is about to go to Qintianjian. ”
"What is Lord Liu doing in Qintianjian? Could it be that there is some major memorial in recent days? ”
The more Liu Yun looked to him, the more Xiao Caiju pressed forward step by step. She seemed to be smiling very kindly and innocently, her eyes were sharp, staring at Liu Yun like a female leopard hunting for food.
Liu Yun's forehead was sweating, he picked up his sleeves and wiped the sweat, while his mind was racing to think about how to answer: "This...... Niangniang, this Qin Tianjian ......"
He is just a civil servant, he has always only known to follow the orders of the king and concentrate on making a fuss, how can he understand the intrigue of these harem women, and he was overwhelmed by Xiao Caiju for a while, and he didn't know how to answer her words.
"Lord Liu, Niangniang is asking you!"
Seeing this, Xiu'e asked with a smile on the side.
Lord Liu was even more nervous: "Niangniang, this is really a secret of the DPRK and China, the old minister really doesn't dare to leak it at will, and I hope Niangniang will forgive me!" ”
Xiao Caiju's face stiffened, and immediately Xiu'e glanced at it, Xiu'e stepped forward with a smile and said: "Lord Liu, I heard that you have a beloved little grandson under your knees, and you can export it at the age of seven. ”
Liu Yun immediately changed his face: "Niangniang, how can my grandson be as good as Niangniang said, he is a dull child, everyone praises a few words on the face of the old minister, he can't be true, how dare the old minister send him into the palace to delay the future of the prince, that is the sin of the old minister!" ”
Xiao Caiju chuckled lightly in the phoenix: "Then if it is necessary in this palace!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Yun immediately understood everything.
Suddenly, a sense of pride rose in his chest, and after a moment of silence, he arched his hand towards Feng Yuan: "Thank you Niangniang for your love, if Niangniang really likes the useless little grandson of the old minister, the old minister must follow Yi's decree and send this child to the palace to be a companion to the little prince, but ...... If he does anything to disobey Niangniang and the little prince in the future, Niangniang will discipline and discipline him for the old minister, and never be soft because of the old minister, even if he kills him, the old minister will never complain! ”
The generous words immediately made Xiao Caiju speechless.
"You!"
Xiao Caiju in the phoenix chariot pressed her heart, and her face turned blue with anger.
After Liu Yun said these words without humility or arrogance, he kowtowed to Feng Yuan, then stood up, picked up the book on the side, straightened his back and strode away without looking back.
"Old Puff!"
Xiao Caiju in the phoenix chariot gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and scolded hatefully.
"Xiu'e!"
"Here, what do you have to say?"
"Go! We must find a way to find out the content of the edict, and it is best to ...... the edict."
"Yes, the slave will find a way."
After Xiu'e left, Xiao Caiju got off the phoenix and walked to the door of the imperial study. Standing at the door to sort out his emotions for a while, he smiled and motioned to the eunuch next to him to sing loudly: "The queen has arrived!" ”
The old monarch had just met Liu Yun, the draft official, and discussed the content of the edict with him all morning, and he was already dry and exhausted, and when Xiao Caiju came, he was leaning back in a chair and closing his eyes to recuperate.
"Monarch~"
As soon as Xiao Caiju walked in, he walked up to him with a smile and softened his voice.
The old monarch opened his eyes and smiled tiredly: "You are here, sit down!" ”
"Thank you, Monarch."
After sitting down, Xiao Caiju thought for a while, and then said: "The concubine happened to pass by the imperial study, and by the way, I came to see the monarch, and I don't know if the concubine disturbed the monarch." ”
The monarch smiled a little reluctantly: "Oh? The queen has a heart, I just finished watching a bunch of annoying twists and turns, and I'm having a headache! Come, since the queen is here, just accompany me to talk and relieve my fatigue! ”
Hearing this, Xiao Caiju laughed: "Okay." But he scolded secretly in his heart: This old fox, the hexagram has become faster, and a few days ago, he was still scolding Xu Guifei for playing tricks on him, playing tricks, and in the blink of an eye, he set up an edict. At this moment, she came in, afraid that he had already known in his heart why she came here, but he deliberately pretended to be stupid there, and looked at him!
She looked at him, and she clearly didn't want her to have a chance to mention this matter!
"Monarch, just now I saw Lord Liu coming out of the imperial study, I don't know what happy events have happened in the palace recently, and I have to work until Lord Liu personally goes out?"
Hum!
He wanted to pretend to be confused, but she wanted to pick out the topic!
When the old monarch saw her coming up, he asked so directly, so he gradually sank his face: "What?" The queen is not satisfied with the affairs of the harem now, and wants to help me worry about the affairs of the court? ”
When Xiao Caiju heard this, she knew that the monarch was angry, although he still maintained a pleasant appearance, but she was not a fool, she could still see the sharpness in his eyes.
So he hurriedly knelt down in front of him: "Please calm the king's anger, it is the concubine who has overstepped." ”
"Forget it, I'm a little tired, let's talk to the queen another day, let's go down!"
The old monarch closed his eyes again, leaned back in his chair, stopped talking, and only waved his hand to Xiao Caiju on the ground, meaning to let her retreat.
"Monarch!"
Xiao Caiju raised her head unwillingly, and as soon as she shouted, the eunuch on the side came over to support her: "Niangniang, please go back, the monarch is really tired." ”
“……”
She secretly clenched the fist under her sleeve, and said helplessly: "Yes, concubine...... Retirement. ”
After walking out of the imperial study, Xiao Caiju raised his head, his face was terrifying, and he looked back at the door of the imperial study that was slowly closing, and his heart was angry and flustered.
That's good!
All her plans have been disrupted, and it's all to blame for the meticulous work of those few Great Yans!
"Niangniang, are we going back to the palace now?"
The little eunuch who had no eyesight didn't notice that something was wrong with Xiao Caiju, and he came to her with a smile and said flatteringly.
Syllable!
Xiao Caiju raised her hand and gave him a slap, shattering his smile.
"No, don't you want this palace to stay here and make it a joke?"
The little eunuch looked aggrieved, but he didn't dare to argue, so he had to cover his face with one hand and open the sedan curtain for her with the other: "Yes, yes, it's the slave who is stupid." Please calm your anger. ”
After she sat on the phoenix, she shouted loudly: "Niangniang go back to the palace!" ”
Xiao Caiju's angry shout came from Feng Yuan again: "What are you shouting!" Come on! ”
The group didn't dare to stay for a moment, and quickly carried Feng Yuan back to the queen's palace.
After her phoenix chariot walked away, at the corner not far from the imperial study, a person turned out, glanced in the direction of the phoenix chariot, and hurriedly walked in the direction of the East Palace.
"What about the prince?"
An Gongcheng was in the courtyard urging the palace to clean up the courtyard, and suddenly heard someone at the palace gate asking urgently, so he looked up and wanted to see where to look.
"Oh, it turned out that the prince of Baili is here, and the prince is waiting for you in the study!"
As soon as he saw that it was Bai Lisheng, Father-in-law An immediately greeted him with a smile.
Bai Lisheng arched his hand at him.
Father-in-law An turned his head again, and shouted to the palace maid and eunuch in the courtyard with a straight face: "Be diligent, I'll come and see in a while, if anyone is lazy, don't blame me for being unkind." Then he raised a smile and raised his hand to him: "Childe, please come here." ”
Then he took Bai Lisheng to the study, and then retreated.
As soon as Bai Lisheng walked into the study, he asked about a strong smell of herbs, couldn't help but cover his nose, and teased: "Xiuzhu, are you going to turn the East Palace into a medicine shop?" ”
Song Xiuzhu was lying on the ground at the moment, the book in his hand that he didn't know what the name was, fanning the fire of a small red clay stove on the floor. On the stove was a yellowed jar of medicine, in which a pot of decoction was slowly boiling.
"Ah Sheng, are you here? Sit down, I'll be here in no time. ”
He said without looking up.
Bai Lisheng was very curious about what kind of medicine he was boiling in this jar, so he walked over and squatted down like him, while reaching out to lift the lid of the medicine jar.
"Hey, it's not good yet, you can't open the lid!"
Song Xiuzhu immediately stopped him.
"What is it in this that is so precious? Do you want a prince to do it yourself? ”
Bai Lisheng retracted his hand and asked with a smile.
"Shhhh Be quiet, let Grandpa An know that I should nag again when I decoct medicine in the study. ”
Song Xiuzhu hurriedly made a silent gesture to him.
"This is the antidote to the hoop spring! I just made it! ”
Bai Lisheng was surprised: "This is the antidote to the requirement?" What's wrong? Could it be that someone actually dared to come to the East Palace to poison you? ”
As soon as his words came out, he immediately realized the problem and hurriedly added another sentence.
"Well, yesterday and the day before yesterday, I found out that my meal was wrong for two days in a row! However, Father-in-law An doesn't know about this yet, don't say anything! ”
Song Xiuzhu fanned the fire and said to Bai Lisheng solemnly.
Bai Lisheng glanced at Father-in-law An, who was still busy in the courtyard outside the study, and asked, "You boiled this medicine for this old eunuch, right?" ”
"Well, he helps me try dishes every day, and there must be a lot of toxins accumulated in his body, if there is no antidote, I'm afraid that at his age, the toxicity will soon occur."
"Do you know which one poisoned it?"
"Then you don't need to ask, it's nothing more than one of the people in the courtyard!"
Song Xiuzhu devoted himself to his antidote, and he didn't really care much about the problems that Bai Lisheng cared about.
