Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Warm Heart
"You girl, what you say also makes people's hearts warm.
Okay, Xi Mama, help the evening girl down, the palace asked you to prepare yesterday and bring it down together, and bring it back to the evening girl when the time comes. ”
"Yes."
Mama Xi answered, then took out the wooden sandalwood box that had been prepared next to her, and handed it to Qiu Weiwan in front of her.
The heavy hand made Qiu Weiwan look up at the Empress Dowager Wu in surprise for a moment.
But the Empress Dowager Wu's eyes still didn't seem to be enough, and when she saw Qiu Weiwan's surprised look, she suddenly laughed out loud, and then said: "You girl, why are you looking at the palace with your eyes open?" This palace has just prepared some gifts for you, which can be regarded as a meeting gift and a return gift for the You clan's misdeeds this time, don't open it now, this palace knows that your aunt is a person who loves vanity. ”
"The Queen Mother Mingjian, thank you for the reward of the Queen Mother."
This Aunt Zhao's bad temper has spread for thousands of miles, and it has reached the ears of the Queen Mother because she married into the palace in the autumn, tsk, it really makes people want to laugh so much.
"Alright, let's go down."
Empress Dowager Wu covered her mouth and chuckled, took away her laughing appearance, and waved her hand, asking Mama Xi to send Qiu Wei down.
The two returned to their positions one after the other, and Xia Wanqing was about to ask her daughter what she had done when she saw Qiu Weiwan holding a wooden sandalwood box in her arms, and immediately frowned.
What is it?
asked in a low voice, but got an answer from Qiu Weiwan.
The queen mother said that this was a gift to her daughter, and it was also a gift for the injuries she suffered a few days ago, and her daughter couldn't refuse, so she had to accept it.
Evergreen Mama, I still have to trouble you to send this box back today, on the way, you must not open it. ”
"Yes."
Changqing nodded, said no more, and took the box.
After more than ten years of labor, Changqing is full of small muscles, even if it is a slight force, it will not be a thing.
This Empress Dowager Wu cared for a while, and after the emperor went to appease the queen, he began to give gifts, and cared for two sentences, just at the moment when Aunt Zhao thought that the spearhead would not be pointed at herself, suddenly, Empress Dowager Wu spoke.
"Where is the Qiu Mansion Zhao Clan?" As soon as the voice fell, Aunt Zhao's whole body stiffened, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Qiu Xingbei only felt that something was wrong, and immediately stabbed Aunt Zhao's arm with his elbow, and the man stood up.
"Slave, here."
The sudden roll call made Qiu Weiwan suddenly feel as if there was a good show to watch, so he turned his head to look over, and saw that Aunt Zhao, who was wearing heavy makeup, was now full of embarrassment, and a burst of blue, as if she had guessed her ending.
Qiu Xingbei didn't dare to speak easily, for fear of provoking the other people present.
This is an ancestor at home, and outside, it is a roundworm under people's feet.
"I heard from this palace, but you have been bullying Wanwan in the past? Is this true? Empress Dowager Wu did not beat around the bush, but directly pointed out the theme, and looked at Aunt Zhao in front of her with cold eyes, without the gentle atmosphere just now.
Aunt Zhao swallowed nervously, not knowing whether to agree with her words or not.
"Zhao, answer this palace!"
"Niangniang, that's not called bullying, the slave family just manages the Prime Minister's Mansion for Mrs., and has to be frugal, isn't this also for the sake of the Prime Minister's face?"
"Oh? Is it? Empress Dowager Wu looked her up and down, chuckled, and asked rhetorically.
Aunt Zhao's body suddenly stiffened, but she still nodded.
Once this person's face is thickly covered, it can't be revealed.
Qiu Weiwan really wanted to spit on it, but on such an occasion, who would dare to speak, even Xia Wanqing beside her was trembling nervously, because she knew the severity of the situation.
"Since you said so clearly that you didn't bully Wanwan, then this palace asks you, it is rumored that you have been bullying Wanwan since you were a child, and you have specially deducted all kinds of daily necessities such as silver taels, coal blocks, cakes, clothes and accessories in the main room, is this true?" As soon as these words were spoken, Aunt Zhao's face suddenly became even more ugly.
She knew that this Empress Dowager Wu had actually checked her own background clearly, and now she could only answer that one word.
"Yes!" The voice is firm, but the sound is as low as if a mosquito is chirping.
Qiu Xingbei in front of him trembled when he heard that sentence, but he still calmed down and tried not to get excited, but Qiu Xingbei heard it, where did the Empress Dowager Wu on the stage hear it, but she asked rhetorically.
"What do you say? Say it again. ”
"Yes!" The voice was a lot louder, but her eyes couldn't help but close, for fear of meeting the eagle eyes of the Empress Dowager Wu, but she didn't know that when the Empress Dowager Wu heard her 'yes', the flames burning in her eyes were the first time everyone had seen them.
Everyone is not sure whether Empress Dowager Wu's behavior when she was young has happened, but now her appearance of wanting to kill is exactly the same as Ji Zexiu's usual life.
"Okay, you're a Zhao family, but you're just a maid who is a little taller than a maid, and you dare to kick your nose in the face?"
"The slave family didn't have it, please also ask the Queen Mother Mingjian, the slave family used to be jealous of everything that Mrs. got before, so as soon as she got the right, she did such things, but after the eldest lady became the princess appointed by the prince, the slave family never interfered anymore, the Queen Mother, you can go and ask the eldest lady, the slave family, the slave family really didn't offend everything in the lady's room anymore."
Oh? So that's the acquiescence to all that she's doing? Qiu Weiwan couldn't help but feel funny, this woman is really stupid, sometimes a casual remark, but exposed all the bad things she had done before.
And Empress Dowager Wu also snorted coldly, and then spoke.
"Then the palace asked you, why, you are wearing the best cloud brocade, while the lady is wearing the lowest silk?" Xia Wanqing didn't expect that Empress Dowager Wu would notice this.
She had already picked out the best clothes in the closet, but she was still directly pierced...... For a young lady like Xia Wanqing who came out of a big family, she was naturally exposed in public This somewhat unbearable fact, she lowered her head a little uncompetitively, and her eyes were a little red.
Qiu Weiwan on one side of the side of the school of course noticed his mother's move, although he was a little puzzled about why his mother was like this, but he was very happy that Empress Dowager Wu stood up for herself.
It's handsome! Zhao, who was questioned, suddenly stopped his mouth, and didn't dare to say anything at once.
On the other hand, Empress Dowager Yu Wu looked at Zhao with a curious expression, and then asked coldly, "Huh? Why don't you speak? Perhaps feeling the anger of the Empress Dowager Wu, Qiu Xingbei no longer sat still, but took a step back cautiously, and said in a low voice: "Hurry up and reply, don't pretend not to know, don't wait for you alone to implicate our entire Prime Minister's Mansion!" Zhao Shitu's face darkened, and he looked at Qiu Xingbei next to him with some caution, and then spoke back.
"Back to the Queen Mother, the slave family, the slave family is in charge of all the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is the fault of the slave family if it is not well considered, I hope the Queen Mother will forgive ......" As soon as the words fell, I heard the Empress Dowager Wu on the seat angrily slap the table and stand up, and said in a shrill voice: "What a poor consideration!" That palace asks you, if you are really in charge of the prime minister's house, you should be in charge of everything, and everything is considered well, it can be seen that you are not in charge of the affairs of the palace very well! If it weren't for Xia's physical discomfort now, this palace would definitely cure your sins! As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Shitu's feet in front of him were weak, but he also knew that before this situation, he couldn't go wrong, so he stood up straight and looked at the Empress Dowager Wu in front of him.
"Thank you for the understanding of the Queen Mother, the slave family will definitely pay attention to my sister's side in the future, and I will definitely not let the Queen Mother worry about the affairs of the house anymore."
"Humph!" Empress Dowager Wu snorted coldly, and the cold light in her eyes seemed to kill the Zhao family in front of her in an instant.
I saw that Zhao Shi trembled after feeling that gaze, and then Empress Dowager Wu looked at Qiu Weiwan and Xia Wanqing on one side again.
"Wanwan, although this palace doesn't know why your mother is so unwell, but from now on, this palace will arrange Imperial Doctor Shen, who has been taking the pulse of this palace, to the prime minister's mansion every day to regulate your mother's body, can you agree?"
