Zhang Dequan saluted and didn't dare to really leave no one to serve, so he immediately called a little eunuch to wait at the door, and the ministers kneeling on the ground outside were all pale, Zhang Dequan knew that Wei Fu should have said it all when he saw their appearance.

Originally, these ministers were helping people, and they didn't want the emperor to have such a big temper, but now they are facing ashes, not only worried that they will be blamed for not doing their own things well, but also worried that the emperor will hold a grudge, and it is difficult to sit still, seeing that Zhang Dequan also came out with a bad face, he hurriedly surrounded him: "I don't know if Father-in-law Zhang has something to explain to me?" ”

Zhang Dequan sighed and had to stop, he forced out a smile: "The slave does have something, but this matter has nothing to do with the adults, the slave went to appease the queen at the emperor's behest, let the adults make it convenient!" ”

These people's faces were even worse at that time, and the emperor's meaning was already obvious, and he was making cannon fodder for others.

Zhang Dequan looked a little unbearable; "Adults, don't worry too much, the emperor knows the rights and wrongs, you just need to go back in peace."

Several people raised their hands to thank them, Zhang Dequan also waved his hands again and again, and it took a while for the imperial study to calm down, and a little eunuch holding something next to him was a little puzzled; "Since the father-in-law is already on the side of the queen, why do you have to tell them so much, they have offended the emperor and the queen!"

Zhang Dequan took a group of people to the queen's palace, and smiled softly when he heard the words; "You know what you know if you haven't lost a single hair! Our emperor is not simple, this is even more amazing for the queen, I think that one day I will be able to use those people, and when the time comes, it is not for me to do things, it is better to have a good relationship now. ”

The little eunuch looked at him adoringly and nodded vigorously; "I know, the queen helped me when I first entered the palace, and I know that she is the best."

Zhang Dequan nodded and scolded; "You have to understand the rules, what is she, you have to be called the queen mother, and when did you receive the favor of the mother, you obviously just entered the palace not long ago."

The little eunuch lowered his head and said yes, and when he heard this, he raised his head again and replied with big eyes; "It was the palace I entered on the day of the wedding of several mothers, but because I got lost and bumped into Concubine Li's sedan chair, fortunately the queen mother relieved me."

Zhang Dequan looked at him thoughtfully, the little eunuch didn't know what was wrong with his words, but he was a little scared to see it, and reflexively shrunk his neck.

The queen's palace was even more deserted, and Zhang Dequan remembered that there was not even a single subordinate in this palace who accepted the reward, but fortunately, Cai Wei came back in time.

Zhang Dequan hurriedly signaled his subordinates to hand the things to the palace maid behind Cai Wei, fortunately, the palace is not very rich now, and there are not many things to reward, even the two little palace maids can barely take it.

Cai Wei smiled a little reluctantly: "I don't know what happened to my father-in-law, my master is resting, I'm afraid there are many things that can't show up." ”

Zhang Dequan knew that she was worried that she would come to ask the queen to come over to ask for guilt, so he stopped grinding, took out the holy decree in his arms and handed it to Cai Wei; "Now there are some gossip in this palace, the girl doesn't have to pay attention to it, the emperor gave a holy decree, since the queen mother is not well, the slave will not read it, the girl will do it according to the holy decree."

Cai Wei was originally a little repulsed by the Holy Decree, and she was even more worried when she was unclear at the moment, so she took the Holy Decree and looked at her face all at once.

Zhang Dequan was here to support him, so naturally he couldn't say nothing, and when he saw Cai Wei softened a little, he said: "The girl should have seen it, and the meaning of the emperor is already very clear, it just so happened that the servants brought a few people over today, and the queen's palace is really empty." Now there are just a few suitable ones, and the girl just needs to watch and call. ”

Cai Wei nodded happily and did not refuse, Zhang Dequan saw that the matter was almost over and said goodbye and left the queen's palace, sure enough, he heard footsteps in the distance as soon as he came out of the palace.

The people near the queen's palace all ran to the gate of their palace tightly, and they couldn't cover it up for a while, which was very lively.

At this time, a little eunuch also came in from Concubine Li's palace, and Xiao Cui scolded fiercely: "Niangniang was looking for you just now!" Where are you dying, you will never find anyone when you usually use it! ”

The little eunuch hurriedly smiled and pleaded: "It's all the slaves who are wrong, but the slaves heard a big news this time, and I think the mother should want to know." ”

Xiao Cui thought about it and took him in, Concubine Li was leaning against the window and didn't know what to do, she was a little unenergetic for a while, the little eunuch carefully asked for peace, and waited for Concubine Li to come back to her senses before saying: "The slave went out this time to inquire about a big news, I heard that the ladies of the palaces have gone to the queen's palace again, and even the courtiers have begun to impeach the queen." ”

Unexpectedly, Concubine Li didn't look happy, but frowned: "What's the reason this time, the queen doesn't look like she's looking for trouble!" ”

The little eunuch hurriedly replied: "It's the queen who has provoked the anger of the public, she actually wants to reduce the amount of food and clothing in the palace, and the ladies in the palaces can't stand it, but the emperor didn't say anything, it seems that she is on the side of the queen." ”

Concubine Li sighed lightly and instructed Xiao Cui beside her: "You go and tell my brother not to interfere in this matter, I want to come to those big families and make trouble!" ”

Xiaocui said with some worry: "What does this mean, if you don't make trouble, it will inevitably be a lot less food and clothing, and the queen is very proud." ”

Concubine Li looked at the incense burner in the room and sent the little eunuch away, Xiaocui closed the door knowingly, and waited for a while before the footsteps outside the door disappeared before Concubine Li spoke: "This matter can be the emperor's first prestige, no matter how I can't let my brother become a tool for other people's calculations, loyalty to the emperor is already the only way out for our family, and my brother understands it." ”

Xiao Cui nodded to indicate that she knew, but she was still a little indignant: "The master has been delicate and expensive since he was a child, how can he eat this kind of bitterness!" ”

Concubine Li stroked her cloud temples and smiled: "When did you become so delicate, our family is not a few generations of nobles, but it is because of the appreciation of the emperor that my brother has the dignity now, and I didn't have any hard days in the past, so I won't be able to do it now." ”

Xiao Cui sighed and said helplessly: "The slave maid will tell the people below that from today onwards, the food and clothing in our palace will be halved, and it can be regarded as having an attitude." ”

Concubine Li waved her hand and closed her eyes a little tiredly.
