"Who? Dare to stop the Queen Mother! Don't get out of the way yet! ”

The father-in-law who was serving beside the Queen Mother, surnamed Qin, looked at Gu Jiao and said sharply.

Gu Jiao's dress doesn't look like a nobleman in the palace, but if she wants to say that she is a palace maid, her clothes are not luxurious, and her temperament is very cold.

Gu Jiao didn't dodge, she looked at the golden silk swaying phoenix in front of her about ten paces away, and the huge golden phoenix embroidery was shining in the glow, dazzling.

Behind the long gauze curtain, several figures can be faintly seen, and the figure in the middle is wearing a dark embroidered golden phoenix robe, sitting in a precarious position, with a compelling momentum, familiar and unfamiliar.

"Auntie!"

Xiao Jingkong finally pulled himself out of the ground, he held back the small pain in his body, and jumped towards the queen mother's phoenix with a tweet.

He jumped from behind the phoenix to in front of the phoenix, and suddenly saw Gu Jiao with the pestle in the middle of the path, and he sighed: "Jiaojiao? ”

Jiaojiao?

Empress Dowager Zhuang's heart shook slightly.

Xiao Jingkong was covered with mud and grass clippings, jumped over, dropped grass clippings while jumping, and said very solemnly: "Jiaojiao, I didn't run around!" ”

Gu Jiao came back to her senses, yes, you didn't run, you just jumped and jumped.

Gu Jiao raised her hand to remove the grass clippings on the little guy's head and body, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the dirt on his face.

Gonggong Qin originally planned to pull these two uninteresting people apart, but as soon as he turned around, he caught a glimpse of Empress Dowager Zhuang's expression through the gap in the gauze curtain and did not have any displeasure.

Not only that, but the Queen Mother was also a little fascinated.

Empress Dowager Zhuang doesn't like children, this is something that all the six palaces know, even the two daughters of King Ning rarely come to Empress Dowager Zhuang, but right now, Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at the little girl and the dirty little bald head, and she didn't feel bored at all.

I can't even take my eyes off it.

An inexplicable emotion suddenly rose in her heart, and she didn't know what was wrong.

Zhuang Yuexi sat beside the Queen Mother, looking at the Queen Mother's face, and a touch of nervousness crossed her eyes.

Gu Jiao was almost wiped off, Xiao Jingkong tilted her little head, looked at the high phoenix, thought about it, and called, "Auntie? ”

Gonggong Qin's expression changed, and he strode forward and said, "Bold!" Who's your aunt! ”

Xiao Jingkong shook his hand and said seriously: "She is!" ”

Gonggong Qin's temples jumped suddenly: "That's the Queen Mother!" ”

"It's my aunt." Xiao Jingkong looked at Feng Bao and asked puzzledly, "Auntie, why did you come here to be the queen mother?" Aren't you going back with us? ”

Empress Dowager Zhuang was suddenly asked.

She didn't know the child, but why did the child's words make it difficult for her to answer?

Also, that strange emotion intensified.

She is the queen mother, but looking at these two children, her heart suddenly became a little chaotic.

She lifted the curtain to get a closer look at them.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Something is wrong! Duke Wei hurriedly entered the Huaqing Palace.

The emperor glanced at him: "What's the matter with the panic?" ”

Father-in-law Wei sighed: "Miss Gu and her younger brother were stopped by the Queen Mother!" ”

"What?" The Emperor scrambled to his feet and strode out.

"Queen Mother!"

As soon as the Empress Dowager Zhuang opened the curtain, the emperor arrived panting, he stood in front of Gu Jiao and Xiao Jingkong, and said to the Empress Dowager Zhuang breathlessly: "These two are the guests of the palace of Zhenxuan, if there is a place to collide with the queen mother, I also hope that the queen mother Haihan." ”

As soon as she heard that it was the emperor's person, Empress Dowager Zhuang lost interest in watching it.

Her eyes turned cold, she lowered the curtain, and said lightly: "Since you are the emperor's person, the emperor will take it away." ”

She hadn't intended to cure the two of them, but who would believe it? In the eyes of everyone, she is the ruthless, unscrupulous, and careless queen of the country.

Empress Dowager Zhuang did not explain.

"Congratulations to the queen mother." The emperor said.

"Swing." Empress Dowager Zhuang said lightly.

Feng Bao walked slowly past Gu Jiao and Xiao Jingkong.

And at the moment of passing by, Empress Dowager Zhuang still couldn't help but open the curtain and saw the thin and immature face in the sun, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, skin like porcelain, and a red birthmark on the left side of her face.

The girl obviously didn't have any expression, and her face was cold.

However, I don't know if it's the delusion of the Empress Dowager Zhuang, I always feel that the girl has some grievances in her heart.

What is she wronged? I haven't cured her yet.

Empress Dowager Zhuang lowered the curtain.

All afternoon, she was thinking about the girl's face and the grievances that made her heart ache.

The relationship between the emperor and the Empress Dowager was tense, and he had long been worried that Gu Jiao would be implicated because of this, so he was very cautious, but he still let the Empress Dowager Zhuang run into it.

For the sake of prudence, he asked Gonggong Wei to personally send people out of the palace.

After leaving the palace, Gu Jiao and Xiao Jingkong got into the carriage back.

Xiao Jingkong's mood was a little low: "Jiaojiao, doesn't my aunt want us?" ”

Gu Jiao touched his little bald head.

She didn't know either.

But my aunt really seems to ignore them.

Xiao Jingkong climbed onto Gu Jiao's lap and threw himself into Gu Jiao's arms to find comfort.

Gu Jiao hugged and stroked his little back one by one, and Xiao Jingkong fell asleep sadly and aggrieved.

The coachman is the third son.

He waved his whip, and the carriage sped off, but he had barely taken a few steps when he was stopped by a familiar voice.

"Wait!"

It's Zhuang Yuexi.

She caught up and stopped Gu Jiao's carriage, forcing Xiao Sanzi to tighten the reins and stop the carriage.

The third son felt that this girl was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

Zhuang Yuexi ignored him, she walked to the car window and said to Gu Jiao: "Miss Gu, my aunt has something to tell you." ”

Auntie, she had never called like this in front of the Queen Mother, but she called out affectionately and affectionately in front of Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao opened the curtain lightly.

Zhuang Yuexi's eyelashes trembled, and she looked at Gu Jiao coldly and said: "Auntie hopes that today's incident will not happen again, you don't come to the palace to find her in the future, she is the queen mother, and everything before is an expedient measure, you don't have thoughts that you shouldn't have." ”

Gu Jiao looked straight at Zhuang Yuexi.

Zhuang Yuexi's scalp was numb for a while by the straightforward and sharp eyes, but her face was not obvious, she calmed down, took out a purse from her wide sleeve, threw it to Gu Jiao and said, "Give this back to you!" ”

This is the money bag that Gu Jiao embroidered for her aunt, her needlework is not very good-looking, but it is very durable, and her aunt has always carried it on her body with a small amount of money.

On the day my aunt left, she didn't take anything with her in Bishui Hutong, only a simple dress and this small money bag that never left her.

This was the only thought Gu Jiao had left with her aunt.

Now, my aunt has returned it.

Gu Jiao stroked the folds on the money bag, didn't say anything, and silently lowered the curtain.

Looking at Gu Jiao's abandoned appearance, an indescribable pleasure rose in Zhuang Yuexi's heart, and the person who blocked her in the alley and threatened her that she would not be able to pay the price is also today.

Her brother is hers, and so is her aunt!

Zhuang Yuexi returned to Renshou Palace.

Empress Dowager Zhuang is sorting out her set of coarse cloth clothes, she is already the queen mother, this kind of folk clothes can't be put on the table, and she should have thrown it away a long time ago.

But she didn't throw it away, but brought it back to the palace, and pretended it in a box.

Today she turned her clothes out, laid them flat on the large, luxurious bed, and rummaged through her pockets as if she were looking for something.

The little palace maid asked, "Queen Mother, what are you looking for?" ”

"The mourning family is looking for ......," Empress Dowager Zhuang was stunned.

yes, what is she looking for?

Do you think there's something important missing?

But what is it?

Zhuang Yuexi walked into the room with a slight flash in her eyes: "Queen Mother." ”

Empress Dowager Zhuang asked, "When you first brought the clothes, did you see anything else?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhuang stayed at the banker's house for one night, and her clothes were cleaned by the banker's subordinates, and Zhuang Yuexi personally sent it.

Zhuang Yuexi lowered her eyes: "No, only this set of clothes." ”

This night, the Empress Dowager Zhuang did not sleep very peacefully, as soon as she closed her eyes, it was the girl's aggrieved little eyes, she tossed and turned in the middle of the night, and finally fell asleep, but she dreamed of the little monk again.

The little monk asked her with tears in his eyes: "Auntie, why did you come here to be the queen mother?" Aren't you going back with us? ”

Don't you go back with us?

You're our aunt......

The next morning, through the thick bead curtain, the courtiers all felt the aura of the Empress Dowager Zhuang Don't mess with the old lady, otherwise you will be punished by your whole family, and the courtiers were all silent, and they didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Empress Dowager Zhuang called Mrs. Zhuang aside.

In the corridor outside the side hall, Mrs. Zhuang saluted the Empress Dowager Zhuang: "The Empress Dowager." ”

Empress Dowager Zhuang: "The mourning family has something to ask you." ”

Mrs. Zhuang: "Queen Mother, please speak." ”

Empress Dowager Zhuang: "Who were you with in the days when the mourning family disappeared for more than a year?" ”

Mrs. Zhuang was surprised: "Why did the Queen Mother suddenly ask about this?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhuang said lightly: "You only need to answer the words of the mourning family." ”

"Yes." Mrs. Zhuang arched her hand and said, "After the Queen Mother escaped from the Leprosy Mountain, she was exiled to the people and moved to a small village, where she was discovered by His Majesty's people and temporarily put the Queen Mother under house arrest. ”

Empress Dowager Zhuang said impatiently: "The mourning family is asking, who are they?" ”

Zhuang Taifu Zhengse said: "Xiao Liulang, the champion of the new department." ”

"Xiao, Liu, Lang?" Empress Dowager Zhuang frowned, this name is very familiar, but I can't remember where I heard it, but if I lived in his house, it seems to be reasonable.

Mrs. Zhuang continued: "Xiao Liulang is His Majesty's person, and he has been in contact with His Majesty since he was in the village, and then he went to Beijing to take the exam, ostensibly to catch the exam, but in fact, it was to hide people's eyes and bring the Queen Mother into the capital. Heng'er actually discovered the whereabouts of the Queen Mother as early as the county seat, and once came to the door to recognize the Queen Mother, but unfortunately the Queen Mother didn't know Heng'er at that time, and Heng'er was injured. Heng'er threw a mouse bogey, and didn't dare to come hard, so he had to go back to Beijing to discuss countermeasures with me. I had to contact my subordinates and force His Majesty to reopen the country. If Xiao Liulang wants to enter Beijing, he will not leave the Queen Mother in the countryside. ”

In fact, the situation at that time was far from the case, it was obvious that they were using Xiao Liulang, but when Mrs. Zhuang thought about it afterwards, he felt that Xiao Liulang had premeditated.

If Mrs. Zhuang lied and deceived the Empress Dowager Zhuang, the Empress Dowager Zhuang might have seen the flaws, but he really thought so.

Empress Dowager Zhuang retracted the gaze that fell on his face: "There are many people in the family, isn't there anyone who doubts it?" ”

Mrs. Zhuang said: "Xiao Liulang is a poor boy from other places, he declared to the outside world that the Queen Mother is his aunt, and there are no relatives in the family who come to join him, so no one suspects anything." The Queen Mother suddenly asked them...... Is it because they have come to the Queen Mother? ”

What happened in the palace yesterday, Zhuang Yuexi had already asked people to deliver a letter to Mrs. Zhuang, of course, she didn't say that she went back to find Gu Jiao, but only talked about the chance encounter in the imperial garden.

Mrs. Zhuang said: "They drugged the Queen Mother, made the Queen Mother lose her memory, and took the opportunity to approach the Queen Mother and capture the Queen Mother's heart, the Queen Mother must not be deceived by them." ”

That aunt was fake, and they only used her to make use of her, which made Empress Dowager Zhuang feel very uncomfortable.

But it's weird, isn't it?

Shouldn't she be angry, angry, and angry, and decree that the whole family should be punished?

But why is there only sadness in my heart?

The weather was fine and the sky was cloudless.

Gu Houye hasn't been to Bishui Hutong for some days, and today he is going to the mansion built for the Queen Mother, and when he passes by Bishui Hutong, he decided to go and see Yao's.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he met Gu Jiao, who came back with a small clearance.

Xiao Jingkong fell asleep, lying in Gu Jiao's arms, with tears still hanging on her eyelashes.

Gu Jiao's expression was three points colder than before.

Gu Houye hasn't seen this unfilial girl for a while, she seems to have grown taller, and her eyebrows and eyes are more like Yao's.

"Where did you go?" He asked angrily.

Gu Jiao ignored him and walked towards the courtyard.

Gu Houye gritted his teeth: "I'll talk to you!" Didn't you hear?! ”

Gu Jiao looked at him coldly: "You better not mess with me today." ”

Gu Houye was made a pimple in his heart by her cold eyes, his hand shook, and the drawings fell out.

Gu Jiao wasn't interested in his things, but the things were there, and she didn't want to see them, and then her steps stopped.

Gu Houye hurriedly picked up the drawings, patted off the ashes with his hands, glared at Gu Jiao and said, "What do you see?" It's not a mansion for you! ”

After the words fell, remembering that it was rare for him to show off in front of this stinky girl, he dusted off the drawings again and said to her, "Do you know what this is?" It is the mansion built by the Ministry of Labor for Miss Zhuang. ”

"What is this?" Gu Jiao held the sleeping little clear space in one hand, and pointed to a small dot on the drawing with the other hand and asked.

Gu Houye raised his eyebrows and said, "Gujing." ”

"Where's this?"

"Begonia trees, to be tall, the tree body is tied with a straw mat, said to be the kind that can be a child."

"Why do you want to have a child?"

"How do I know? If you have the ability, you can ask the Queen Mother! ”

It was rare for him to incarnate Gu Yi once, and his tone was arrogant! But after saying that, he subconsciously raised his hand and hugged his head!

As a result, Gu Jiao didn't beat him.

Only...... Quite unexpected.

Gu Jiao continued to ask curiously, "What is this?" ”

Today is about the longest conversation between father and daughter since they met, and they have said so many words, this girl hasn't started beating him yet!

Is this girl finally becoming filial? Life is so proud!

"This is the bamboo, this is the dog house, this is the chicken coop, there is also a bird cage here, here is the vegetable field, here is the east house, here is the west house, ......"

Gu Houye's eyebrows fluttered and he said, but as he spoke, he noticed that something was wrong.

He looked at the drawings, and then at the courtyard in front of him.

What the?

Isn't this the house?

Gu Jiao also saw it.

She took out the money bag in her arms and looked at it carefully for a long time.

I don't want you anymore, she wants to listen to her aunt with her own mouth.

The next day, Gu Jiao took the opportunity to give the emperor a follow-up visit to the palace, this time it was her turn to play missing, she went to Gongfang, and the person disappeared.

The palace was guarded, but it wasn't too much for her.

She came to the Imperial Garden.

Maybe the weather is good, maybe the Empress Dowager Zhuang is unwilling to stay in Renshou Palace, in short, she often sits alone in the garden in a daze recently.

When Gu Jiao came over, she was in a daze with a potted plant of Xifu begonia.

"Who?" Gonggong Qin saw the shadow on the ground at a glance, looked back at Gu Jiao, and said vigilantly, "It's you again!" ”

Empress Dowager Zhuang also turned her head when she heard this.

Seeing Gu Jiao for the first time, Empress Dowager Zhuang's mood actually jumped for a moment, but in the next second, when she thought of something, her heart cooled down again.

"What are you going to do?" Empress Dowager Zhuang asked in a deep voice.

Gu Jiao said: "I'm looking for my aunt." ”

Empress Dowager Zhuang said lightly: "There is no your aunt here. ”

"Yes." Gu Jiao said with a hint of grievance.

Empress Dowager Zhuang's heart suddenly twitched, she clenched her fingers, and said coldly: "Don't play this kind of trick with the mourning family, you weren't born when the mourning family fought a bloody road in the harem, these are all leftovers of the mourning family!" Is it really when the mourners will be in your hands! ”

Gu Jiao didn't rush to refute, but stretched out her hand and spread her fingers, revealing the money bag in her palm.

Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't know what she had lost, but the moment she saw this money bag, she instantly knew that what she had been looking for was it.

Empress Dowager Zhuang's eyes became even colder: "How can the things of the mourning family be in your hands?" ”

Gu Jiao lowered her eyes, and said very aggrieved and obediently: "Someone gave it to me, saying that you gave it back to me, saying that you don't want me anymore." ”

How could the mourning family not want you? You're a mourner......

Empress Dowager Zhuang's mind suddenly flashed these words-
