The Empress Dowager's bedroom is naturally different from other rooms, and it is really easy for Kou Peihan to find it. At this time, a palace maid with a tray walked in, and Kou Peihan didn't speak, but followed behind her.

The palace maid really glanced at Kou Peihan when she turned around, and saw that Kou Peihan only lowered her head, but she didn't show anything unusual, and the palace maid didn't pay attention to her, so she really entered the dormitory of the Empress Dowager Zhou of Xiaosu very smoothly.

Peek at it, an old woman about seventy years old, with gray hair, dressed gracefully and luxuriously, was curled up on the soft couch without a god, secretly hurting herself.

The palace maid carefully put the tray on the table and said to the old woman, "The Empress Dowager, please use tea, the Empress Dowager should not be too sad, if you hurt your body, the slave and maid will not be able to bear the guilt." ”

The Empress Dowager of Xiaosu Zhou waved her hand weakly and said, "Go down, let the palace think quietly." ”

The palace maid's face was hesitant, but she didn't dare not listen, so she went out backwards. Kou Peihan stood still, and the Queen Mother didn't seem to even look at Kou Peihan, as if she didn't notice her in a trance.

At this time, there were only Kou Peihan and the Empress Dowager left in the dormitory.

Kou Peihan suddenly knelt on his knees and said in a loud voice, "The people's daughter meets the Empress Dowager!" ”

Her crisp voice shook the Empress Dowager's body in shock, and then she looked at Kou Peihan.

Seeing that Kou Peihan was dressed as a little eunuch, but she heard clearly just now, Kou Peihan called herself a people's daughter, and couldn't help but be stunned.

This Qingning Palace is indeed a quiet place, and few outsiders usually come in. However, the Empress Dowager experienced the orthodox emperor, the Jingtai Emperor, then Tianshun, then the Chenghua Emperor, and now the Hongzhi Emperor. She has long been pampered and not surprised, and she is calm and calm in the face of things.

Because Kou Peihan knelt on the ground at this time, the Empress Dowager Taihang dispelled Kou Peihan's suspicions of assassination, sat up straight, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" Why did you come to Qingning Palace in the main palace? ”

The tone was very gentle, which made Kou Peihan sound very down-to-earth.

Kou Peihan said, "The people's daughter's name is Kou Peihan, she is the daughter of Kou Dagang Qianhu in Tang County, and now she is married to the Xiucai Zhou Zhi of Qingdu County. ”

The Empress Dowager was immediately interested.

She already had a very prejudiced against Li Guang, and last night her little great-granddaughter died again, so she blamed Li Guang. Then he asked, "Li Guang has committed suicide, what else do you want to sue him?" ”

Kou Peihan was overjoyed. I'm afraid that the Queen Mother doesn't care, but now it seems that she has taken the bait. Smooth, the little girl's visit to the palace this time is actually very smooth!

Kou Peihan said hurriedly, "Although Li Guang said that he committed suicide, he was deeply guilty, and the people still wanted to sue him." ”

Then the three books of account were taken out.

The palace maid had already come in with a frightened face just now, and seeing that the Empress Dowager was safe and sound, she glared at Kou Peihan fiercely, then took the account book from Kou Peihan's hand and presented it to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager gently opened a few pages, and after reading it, her two eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, "Well, this yellow rice is 30,000 taels, white rice is 100,000 taels, and these are all yellow rice, white rice, although these grains are calculated in taels, but this is a lot of conversion."

Hum! This Li Guang, hoarding so much food, can he eat it? ”

Kou Peihan smiled bitterly and said, "The Empress Dowager doesn't know that the yellow and white rice in this account book does not refer to grain, but to gold and silver. Yellow rice is gold, and white rice is silver.

This account book was stolen from Li Guang's house by the people's daughter and my father-in-law. This is what is called the alien book.

The Empress Dowager can think about how much gold and silver Li Guang has been greedy for ink over the years, and how much gold and silver he has received from officials.

Li Guang is the big moth of my Ming Dynasty, please see the Empress Dowager! ”

Rao is empress dowager has already practiced joy and anger, but at this time he is also shocked.

If the yellow and white rice in these three books are gold and silver, then how much gold and silver must there be? The wealth of Li Guang's family seems to be comparable to the income of the treasury in the seventh or eighth year of the Ming Dynasty.

She was silent for a long time, then lowered her head and examined Kou Peihan for a long time before nodding slightly.

Immediately, he waved his hand and called the palace maid and gave an order. The palace maid hurried out of the dormitory.

Kou Peihan didn't dare to raise his head at this time, just knelt like that.

It seems that this kneeling posture is very uncomfortable, especially after kneeling for a long time, the knee is very sore.

But the Empress Dowager didn't seem to understand Kou Peihan's pain at all, and she finally slowly closed her eyes and closed her eyes to recuperate.

"Empress Dowager, the people have long heard that you are kind to people and that you are an excellent Empress Dowager. The folk girl has been kneeling on the ground for almost a stick of incense, can you let the folk girl get up? The folk girl was very uncomfortable. Kou Peihan said in a coquettish voice.

The Empress Dowager was stunned. After so many years, I don't think anyone has ever spoken like this in front of her. Especially the coquettish voice, it sounds very good, and if you think about it, it seems that only her little great-granddaughter who died recently has the courage to do so.

Well! This girl is really bold enough.

It's a bit interesting to sneak into the palace alone and not say anything, but to talk to the palace like this.

This Empress Dowager of Xiaosu Zhou was originally a kind woman, but at this time, it was just because of Kou Peihan's coquettish pleading just now that she immediately liked Kou Peihan a little.

"Get up!"

"The people's daughter Empress Dowager Xie!"

After Kou Peihan stood up, the Empress Dowager looked at Kou Peihan carefully, and suddenly pointed to a small round stool in front of the table and said, "Sit down, the palace still has something to ask you." ”

This Empress Dowager of Xiaosu Zhou has the highest rank in the palace. Today, Emperor Hongzhi wants to call her the imperial grandmother. Without her Yunke, even if Emperor Hongzhi came, he could only stand and speak. But at this time, she hated Li Guang very much, and Kou Peihan came to sue Li Guang. In addition, although Kou Peihan is dressed as a man, she has the impression that she is a delicate and beautiful girl, and she is bold and clever, so she likes Kou Peihan very much.

Kou Peihan felt more and more that the Empress Dowager was amiable. Speaking of which, Kou Peihan's grandmother died early, that was when Kou Peihan was only seven years old. The impression that grandma left on Kou Peihan was that she was kind and loving, and she liked Kou Peihan very much. Kou Peihan can be unscrupulous and coquettish with grandma, but grandma always laughs.

The Empress Dowager in front of her made Kou Peihan seem to relive the good times with her grandmother.

She couldn't help blurting out, "The Empress Dowager is too much like the grandmother of the people's daughter, and she is also so kind and amiable." ”

This is actually a big rebellious sentence, but when the Empress Dowager heard it, her gloomy mood was a lot more relaxed, and she smiled and nodded lightly at Kou Peihan, and said, "You girl is a little interesting, since this palace is similar to your grandmother, then you can call this palace grandma!" ”
