She came this time, in fact, for Su Jin's fourth sister-in-law, Mo Shi, who is the concubine of Mo Yingqin, the Zhongshu Ling, and has always had a close relationship with the Su family. This time there was a big and small turmoil in the Mo family, Mo Yingqin was uneasy in his heart, and discussed with the Su family, thinking that the cousin of Tang Biqian, the second wife of the Su family, was in the Shanggong Bureau, so he asked her to come to see Su Ying, so that he could ask Pei Zhao how to deal with it.

Su Ying listened to the general situation, and asked, "What happened to the Mo family?" ”

Shen Shanggong smiled and said, "Empress Dowager Qi, in fact, it's not a big deal. The slave only heard that His Majesty had questioned a few officials a few days ago, and there were two of them who were the proud protégés of Lord Mo in the past, and Lord Mo was worried that His Majesty had misunderstood, so he ......"

Oh, she understood, it turned out that she wanted to ask her to help test Pei Zhao's tone. Su Ying thought for a while and asked, "What crimes did those officials commit, and did Master Mo implicate them?" ”

Shen Shanggong said: "The slave maid is a woman's family, where can she dare to ask about the affairs of the court, but the fourth lady repeatedly said to the slave maid that Lord Mo has nothing to do with this matter, and the Queen Mother has also seen Lord Mo before entering the palace, so she should know a little about him." ”

This is also true, Uncle Mo and her father are friends who were admitted to the imperial examination in the same year, she went to Mo's house to play when she was a child, and Uncle Mo in her memory is a very humorous elder. But she always felt that this matter was a little strange, was it really as simple as asking? If there is anything terrible in this, will she cause trouble for Pei Zhao like this?

She racked her brains and couldn't think of a way, so she had to look at Duan Niang as if asking for help.

Duan Niang knew that this matter was not trivial, and the plan would not be as simple as Shen Shanggong said, but she was personally ordered by Su Jin's mother's family to come, it was really tricky, thinking about it, she had to say to Shen Shanggong with a smile: "Whether it is the second lady or the fourth lady, they are all like sisters to the Queen Mother, not to mention Master Mo." What the Queen Mother means is that she will definitely ask Her Majesty about this matter, and if she asks anything, she will naturally tell the Fourth Lady immediately, but the Queen Mother has a special identity and lives in the harem, so she can only ask, Shen Shanggong, do you understand what the Queen Mother means? ”

The Shen family is shrewd and sleek, and she has been in the palace for some time, so she naturally knows that Su Ying was just a puppet queen with a noble status in the past, and now although she is the queen mother, she is so young, and the Su family has been repeatedly suppressed, so she must have no weight in speaking.

Besides, she didn't know the ins and outs of this matter, but Tang Biqian sent someone to hand a letter in, only saying that she should go to the Queen Mother and inquire about His Majesty's tone. Everyone in the palace knew that the Queen Mother was young and ignorant of the world, and as long as Zheng Shanggong beside her agreed, it would definitely be done, so she put her mind at ease: "The slave can save it, so thank you to the Queen Mother." ”

Seeing that this matter had been turned over and not mentioned, and Shen Shanggong had also retired, Duan Niang opened the food box with her own hands, picked out a few of the dim sum in it and put it on the plate, and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother, come and taste it, you haven't eaten the dim sum made by Mrs. Su herself for several months." ”

The water chestnut leaves are sweet and delicate and melt in the mouth, Su Ying ate the pastries made by her mother, but she was a little apprehensive in her heart: "Duan Niang, you say, will there be an accident at my fourth sister-in-law's house?" Even the little doll knows that the teaching is not strict and the teacher is lazy, will Pei Zhao be angry with Uncle Mo because his protégé made a mistake? ”

Because Su Ying mentioned Pei Zhao's name, Duan Niang hurriedly lowered her head and recited the sentence "Amitabha Buddha", and comforted: "Your Majesty is Mingjun, if Master Mo is really innocent, then naturally he will not be implicated, didn't the Queen Mother also listen to what Shen Shanggong said, this is actually not a big deal." ”

Having said that, Su Ying always felt a little uneasy, and Pei Zhao came to eat with her during dinner, and when he saw that she didn't look right, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

She told Pei Zhao about today's events one by one, Pei Zhao listened without saying a word, her expression was very serious, and at the end, she said cautiously: "I thought that since it was not a big deal, I agreed to help them ask, will I make trouble for you if I do this?" ”

Seeing her slightly frightened and concerned look, Pei Zhao couldn't help but smile, gave her a chopstick dish, and said with a smile: "The trouble you found for me is not only this, you are my biggest trouble." ”

Seeing that Su Ming's face turned red, Pei Zhao stopped teasing her, and said: "Ah Ming, I said before, as long as I am here, you can do whatever you want, don't worry about the side." Your business is my business, so why bother? ”

Su Ying's heart warmed, and she listened to Pei Zhao say slowly: "The matter they came to ask about today is actually not big, but not small. Mo Yingqin's two protégés entered the court as officials, and they didn't think about how to benefit the people, but they secretly colluded with the party for personal gain, secretly squeezed out the new officials from poor families, and promoted their own mediocre talents many times. ”

Su Ying didn't expect Pei Zhao to tell her the matter so carefully, she saw that the lines on the corners of his lips tightened, and she must have been angry: "This matter seems to have nothing to do with Mo Yingqin, but these two people are not very old, if they want to form a faction in the court, there must be a big tree to rely on, and this time in addition to the matter of forming a party for personal gain, it also involves many other incidents, involving corruption, dereliction of duty and other aspects." But don't worry, I will ask someone to investigate carefully, if it has nothing to do with Mo Yingqin, I will at most treat him without a solution. ”

Su Ying relieved her mind at this time, lowered her head and ate the piece of deer that Pei Zhao gave her, and said with a smile: "I have never seen your appearance, was this how you were when you went to court?" ”

Pei Zhao smiled: "What, do you feel scared?" ”

"I'm not afraid, I just think it's fresh." She blinked: "But I think your courtiers must be very afraid, well, why don't you let people go down and wipe it with a cloth when you go to court, maybe even the cloth will be soaked in the cold sweat of the people." ”

Pei Zhao smiled and helped her straighten a silk flower on her sideburns: "If you are so curious, when do you want to come, go to the court with me." ”

Seeing that Pei Zhao's expression didn't look like a joke, she couldn't help glaring at him: "I don't like going to the court, and I'm so playful, aren't you afraid that I'll just play all day long and make a mess of the court?" ”

Pei Zhao smiled: "It doesn't matter, you lose while I clean up, and I will always be defeated." Besides, this world belongs to the two of us, and you can do whatever you like. ”

Obediently, if these words were heard and written down by the living room, Pei Zhao would not be scolded to death! She was afraid that Pei Zhao would say something shocking again, so she hurriedly stuffed a piece of pine cone into his mouth: "My father said, eat without saying anything, eat, eat." ”

Pei Zhao swallowed the food in his mouth, and saw that Su Ying had just eaten the piece of deer that he had just taken, and he barely drank a few mouthfuls of soup and stopped moving his chopsticks, so he was worried and asked, "Don't you have an appetite, is the dish unappetizing, or is it uncomfortable?" ”

Su Ying said: "No, my appetite is not very good these days, today Shen Shanggong brought me pastries made by my mother, I just ate too much, and now I am holding it tight." By the way, do you want to try it, my mother's craftsmanship is good! ”

Pei Zhao smiled: "No need, I have never loved sweets." ”

She didn't expect Pei Zhao to understand her tastes like this: "Then you are really unlucky." ”

"Wouldn't it be very cost-effective for me to give you two portions?" Pei Zhao said with a smile: "Later, I will ask Tong He to go to the court to talk, and in the future, I will order someone to go to Su Mansion regularly, and ask Mrs. Su to prepare your favorite meals and send them in, so as not to dislike the things in the palace." ”

Su Ying asked blankly, "Is this a privilege?" ”

"That's ...... Please. Pei Zhao got up with a smile: "I still have excerpts to be approved, you remember not to eat too many snacks in the afternoon, so as not to sink your stomach at night." ”

The Pei Zhao in front of him overlapped with the person in his memory, both familiar and unfamiliar. She had secretly fantasized about it before, if Pei Zhao also liked her, then how would he treat her? Now her dream has come true, but in addition to being happy, she is more afraid.

knew that this was wrong, but she still stopped Pei Zhao: "Will you come again at night?" I...... I asked Duan Niang to tell the Shang Shan Bureau to cook the dishes you like to eat. ”

She looked at Pei Zhao's expression, at first she was only surprised, and then gradually turned into surprise, relief, and hope...... It's as if he came all the way to sit with her for dinner, such an expression taught her to feel distressed.

"I'll come, I'll finish my fold soon...... You don't have to sit here and wait for me, you can just go out and relax...... No, you must wait for me to ......" Pei Zhao smiled self-deprecatingly: "How can I speak...... Incoherent ......"

Her heart was sour: "I'm not going anywhere, I'm waiting for you here." ”

Pei Zhao glanced at her again, and then reluctantly walked out of the main hall.

After Pei Zhao left, the palace quieted down, and Duan Niang was afraid that she would be bored, so she smiled and said: "If the queen mother doesn't want to go out, the slave maid will let the servants come to play a hundred plays for you, okay?" Or let those minions tell you stories? ”

She shook her head with interest, thinking that Pei Ming's birthday was coming soon, and she didn't know what to give him, when she thought of Pei Ming, she then remembered that the third sister-in-law would give birth in a few months, and at that time, could she go home to have a look?

She was thinking wildly, when she suddenly heard the sound of Gong'e opening the curtain, and a beautiful woman wearing a Ming Ziyun brocade palace costume walked in with a child in her arms, it was Mrs. Langya.

Since the last time Mrs. Langya came to live with her and was refused, Su Ying has never seen her again, looking at her posture today, don't you still want to bring up the old things again? It was already very inconvenient in the past, not to mention Pei Zhao now......

She was uneasy in her heart, and secretly pulled Duanniang's sleeve, Mrs. Langya smiled miserably when she saw this, and said lightly: "Don't be afraid, the queen mother came this time to ask for a grace from the queen mother, and the concubine took the child to Anguo Temple to practice." ”
