Walking out of the imperial study, seeing Fu Bo's eager face, Chu Haoran waved his hand to stop Fu Bo from making a big salute, and asked, "Fu Bo, what is it that makes the queen mother so anxious?" ”

Despite Chu Haoran's stopping, Ah Fu still knelt down and bowed respectfully: "Holy Lord, the Queen Mother wants you to go to Cining Palace immediately." ”

Nodding, Chu Haoyu took a step and asked at the same time, "Fu Bo, what's wrong with the queen mother?" ”

Standing up and following the side of the Holy Master Chu Haoran, Ah Fu said respectfully: "Back to the Holy Lord, when the Queen Mother was worshipping the Buddha in the Buddha Hall just now, she suddenly felt uncertain, so she ordered the old slave to go out of the palace to find the little young master, but before the old slave walked out of the courtyard, the Queen Mother suddenly called the old slave back, and asked the old slave to summon the Holy Lord and the fourth master of Chu, immediately find the little young master and take him back to the palace, without the slightest delay." At the same time, the Holy Lord, King Wu, and Fourth Master Chu were asked to go to Cining Palace immediately. ”

After a slight pause when he said this, Ah Fu whispered again: "When the old slave returned just now, I saw that the Queen Mother's face was not very good, and she seemed to be a little flustered. ”

The rain became heavier and heavier, and there was a strong wind blowing from time to time, even if several people were in front of Chu Haoran, there was still rain falling on Chu Haoran. Although Ah Fu held up a fan, his clothes were already wet from the rain.

Glancing at Ah Fu, Chu Haoran opened his mouth and asked, "But the queen mother thinks about Xiao Qi?" ”

Ah Fu nodded and shook his head, and said, "The old slave also asked so, but the Queen Mother always felt that something was going to happen, and asked the old slave to send a message to the Holy One, and immediately ordered someone to find the little master." ”

Tapping his head, Chu Haoran shouted: "Xiao Yongzi." You immediately go out of the palace to the three major school fields to look for Xiao Qi, there must be no mistake. After a pause, Chu Haoran continued: "Uncle Kun and King Wu both know Xiao Qi's whereabouts, contact them at any time, once you get the news of Xiao Qi, rush to it immediately, and be sure to take him back to the palace." ”

"Scum!" After bowing and saluting, Xiao Yongzi trotted all the way into the rain.

Perhaps sensing the urgency of the saint, everyone significantly quickened their speed. Rushing to the gate of Cining Palace, Ah Fu opened his mouth and said: "Shengshang, the Queen Mother is not in a very good mood, you persuade well, the old slave will not go in, and then urge the fourth master of Chu." ”

Chu Haoran nodded and said, "I know, but Fu Bo, you don't have to run back and forth, it's raining heavily today, just arrange for someone to do it." ”

Shaking his head, Ah Fu opened his mouth and said: "Thank you for the relationship with the saint, but if the little young master doesn't come back, the queen mother won't feel at ease, so the old slave should go and urge it." At the end of the words, Ah Fu bowed down and saluted Chu Haoran, and then turned around and walked into the rain.

Walking into Cining Palace, Chu Haoran saw the queen mother sitting on the soft couch with her eyes closed, her face seemed to be peaceful, but she had unconcealed worry and eagerness, twisting a string of Buddhist beads with one hand, as if she was praying. Seeing the posture of the queen mother, Chu Haoran slowly stepped forward and bowed, and said, "Haoran greets the queen mother!" ”

The Queen Mother finally opened her eyes, glanced at Chu Haoran, and said, "Sit." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Sitting down on a soft couch beside the Queen Mother, Chu Haoran smiled and said, "The Queen Mother is worried about Xiao Qi?" ”

Sighing lightly, the Queen Mother said slowly: "When I was worshipping the Buddha just now, I suddenly panicked in my heart, and I always felt that something was going to happen. This feeling, my mother has never been, so I ordered someone to find Xiaoqi back, and if I didn't see him, the old man was uneasy. ”

Chu Haoran nodded, and said with a smile: "Erchen has ordered someone to go out of the palace to look for Xiao Qi, and he will be able to bring Xiao Qi back soon, you don't have to worry about the queen mother, and besides, your little Qi is a thief, he has been playing tricks on others since he was a child, and he will not suffer." ”

Shaking her head, the Queen Mother put down the rosary in her hand and said, "The old body just knows him too well, so he is worried." Xiao Qi has been too pampered since he was a child, and he doesn't know what he is afraid of, and his mother is afraid that he will suffer too much outside, and no one outside will accommodate him. ”

Chu Haoran smiled again, opened his mouth and said, "Doesn't Xiao Jing also follow Xiao Qi?" Queen Mother, Xiao Jing is a veritable tyrant in Beijing, with Xiao Jing following the Queen Mother, are you still afraid that Xiao Qi will suffer? ”

Hearing Chu Haoran say this, the Queen Mother snorted softly and said, "Xiao Jing is aggressive, and he still wants to cause trouble if he has nothing to do, count on him?" Besides, the two of them are masters who are not afraid of heaven and earth, and if they get together, they don't know how to go crazy. At that time, I really didn't know what the old body thought, so I actually promised the two of them to go out. ”

Suddenly, Chu Haoran smiled and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, Xiao Qi is playful, even if he is trapped in the harem, he will think of going out, it is better to let him out directly." What's more, Erchen specially instructed Uncle Kun to send more masters to protect him, even Hao Yan also followed Xiao Qi's side, so what else did the queen mother have to worry about. ”

This time, the Queen Mother was a little relieved, Chu Haoyan was a master of the Heavenly and Human Realm after all, and having him by Xiao Qi's side always made people feel a little more at ease. Shaking her head, the Queen Mother whispered: "I hope the old body is wrong." ”

Seeing that the queen mother closed her eyes, Chu Haoran didn't say much. In the silence, Chu Haoran waved his hand and called the eunuch beside him and ordered: "Go out of the palace and urge again, and reply immediately as soon as there is news." In addition, Xiao Yongzi was summoned, and if he couldn't find Xiao Qi, he wouldn't come back. ”

Not long after the little eunuch went out, he turned back and knelt down and said, "Empress Dowager Qi, Your Majesty, Fourth Master Chu is asking to see you outside the palace." ”

Suddenly, the Queen Mother had opened her eyes and shouted, "Pass." As she spoke, the Queen Mother stared straight at the door, as if expecting Chu Kun to bring her Xiao Qi back.

Chu Kun came in alone, and his clothes were already soaked. Walking into the main hall, Chu Kun knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully: "The old slave knocks on the Queen Mother, knocks on Your Majesty!" ”

Looking at Chu Kun alone, the Queen Mother seemed to be a little disappointed, even her words were weak, but she stared straight at Chu Kun and asked, "Chu Si, where is Xiao Qi now?" ”

Looking up at the Queen Mother, Chu Kun replied respectfully: "Back to the Queen Mother, the little young master is in the East Gate Schoolyard." In today's martial arts test, the old slave was afraid of a riot, so he specially asked dozens of masters to protect the little master and not leave an inch. Moreover, the East Gate School is presided over by Luo Dashuai, so there is nothing to do. After receiving the summons from the Queen Mother, the old slave has ordered someone to look for the little young master and be sure to take him back to the palace. ”

Hearing Chu Kun's words, a cold light suddenly flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, and she opened her mouth and asked, "You said that there would be a riot in the martial arts test?" ”

This time, without waiting for Chu Kun to answer, Chu Haoran said first: "The martial arts test is held to conquer Mobei, so Mobei wants to cause a riot and sabotage the martial arts test at the martial test." Therefore, Erchen specially ordered the fifth brother, Luo Dashuai, and General Zhang Da to preside over the martial arts test, and I believe that with a few of them here, they will be able to keep Xiaoqi fine. ”

Although the Queen Mother doesn't ask about political affairs, she has been married in a family since she was a child, and she has been the mother of a country in the past 20 years, and her mind cannot be underestimated. Although Chu Haoran said it simply, the Queen Mother had already guessed a lot. Taking a deep breath to calm herself down as much as possible, the Queen Mother said slowly: "The old body will not ask about military affairs, it is this harem, and the old body does not care, but Xiao Qi's affairs must not be deceived by the old body." ”

Hearing the queen mother's accentuated tone, Chu Haoran hurriedly said: "Queen mother, you are too careful, with your Xiao Qi's cleverness, who can stump him, but the son heard that Xiao Qi turned the capital upside down, robbed the eldest prince of the Li Mansion, made trouble in the ethereal pavilion of the fifth brother, and even fought in the Jingzhao Yin Yamen." Queen Mother, you say, is your Xiaoqi the one who suffers? ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother's face was a little softened, Chu Kun hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, the little young master has been out for the past few days, the old slave has been sending people to secretly protect him, and he knows the whereabouts of the little young master very well, why don't the old slave tell me what the little young master has done in the past few days?" ”

Nodding and seeing that Chu Kun was still kneeling on the ground, the Queen Mother said slowly: "Don't kneel, sit." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After bowing again, Chu Kun stood up but did not sit down, but roughly told Chu Haoyu's whereabouts in the past few days, of course, there are some things that Chu Kun will never mention.

Hearing that Chu Haoyu and Chu Yuanjing robbed the eldest prince of the Li Mansion one after another, a smile appeared on the Queen Mother's face, and when she heard that the two met in a place like the Ethereal Pavilion and made a big move, the Queen Mother said two words of nonsense, but when she heard that Chu Haoyu actually went out of her way to visit a woman, the Queen Mother couldn't help but ask: "The woman of that family, how did she get acquainted, and what was her appearance and temperament?" ”

Listening to the queen mother ask three questions in a row, Chu Haoran smiled and said: "When Xiao Qi returned to Beijing, he met the eldest lady of Zangjian Villa, and the two became familiar with each other for thousands of miles along the way, and besides, Erchen heard that your Xiao Qi has also teased others several times!" ”

As the leader of Tianwei, Chu Kun knew a lot, and after hearing the emperor's words, he understood what he meant, and said casually: "Back to the Queen Mother, the little young master is not out of the palace this time, not to visit Miss Guo once. ”

With a soft sound, a knowing smile appeared on the queen mother's face, and she nodded and said: "I didn't expect Xiao Qi, this elm pimple, to understand the relationship between men and women, and finally grew up." Haoran, call the little girl into the palace another day and let the old man take a look. ”

Chu Haoran had just promised Guo Zhenxing, but now when he heard his mother take the initiative to mention it, he smiled and said: "Okay, when the time comes, the ministers will also see what kind of woman is fascinating our Xiaoqi." ”

With another chuckle, the Queen Mother said: "Let the old man take a look first, if it's good, let Xiao Qi take a side concubine first." Now, the old body is thinking about Xiao Qi's marriage, if he can hold Xiao Qi's child, the old body will be even happier, that is, when he sees Tianfeng a hundred years later, his mother can explain to him. ”

Hearing the last sentence of the Queen Mother, the smile on Chu Haoran's face had disappeared, and he said slowly: "Queen Mother, Erchen doesn't say such compliments as longevity today, Queen Mother, you are not very old, and your health is fine, how can you do such feelings?" ”

At this moment, Chu Kun also said: "The master mother is upright and obedient, and several young masters are also people who are the most kind and filial piety, and the master mother should take care of her children and grandchildren with peace of mind." ”

Shaking his head, the smile on the queen mother's face had also dissipated, and she opened her mouth and said: "The old body knows it, but don't worry, if you don't finish Xiao Qi's affairs, the old body won't be able to fall." Seeing that Chu Haoran opened his mouth to say something more, the Queen Mother directly waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "Okay, this matter will not be mentioned again." ”

Seeing this, Chu Haoran could only smile bitterly: "It seems that only Xiao Qi can make you happy with the queen mother, and the son will send someone to urge you again." Speaking of this, Chu Haoran even called a little eunuch and said, "Go and urge them again, tell them to hurry up, don't let the queen mother wait for a long time." After finishing speaking, listening to the sound of the rain outside the window, Chu Haoran said secretly in his heart: "I hope that the queen mother is just a feeling born from the thunderstorm, Xiaoqi, you really can't have an accident." ”

Thinking of this, Chu Haoran couldn't help but look at Chu Kun, and happened to meet Chu Kun's gaze again. Suddenly, both of them saw that they were worried about each other, but then they turned their heads, afraid that the Queen Mother would see something.
