244 - nobleman
The sky was bright, the empress habitually opened her eyes, she sat up, stretched her waist, rested her hands on her neck, twisted back and forth, and said with a smile: "Since I ascended the throne, I haven't rested like this for a long time, well, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid I'm used to going to bed early and getting up early, it's not good, it's not good." โ
The empress got out of bed, came to the dresser, and shouted, "Someone." โ
The palace maid waiting outside the door pushed the door in when she heard the sound.
More than a dozen people who carried water, towels, dragon robes, and dragon crowns stood in the empress's room.
The empress looked at herself in the mirror, and there were many less dark circles on her eyes, which proved that the days when she could only sleep for two hours a day before were far away from her, and in the temple, the Qingzhou Party, which had been giving her a headache, had also been convinced, and the situation was very good.
It is precisely because of this that the empress is worried that if something changes again, she will never return to the previous state of sleeping only two hours a day, so she will say that going to bed early and getting up early is a bad habit.
However, there are two points that make the empress helpless, the first one is about Wang Xiaolai.
This kid is a talent, and the empress never denies it, but Wang Xiaolai's heart is too wild, and he can't be trained well, and the empress really doesn't dare to put him in a high position in the temple.
This second one is the Senate.
The Qingzhou Party and the Senate have always worn a pair of pants, in the past, the two parties joined forces to put pressure on themselves, but now it's okay, the Qingzhou Party is wilting, and the Senate is still stubbornly resisting, if they hadn't learned the lesson of the Qingzhou Party and didn't dare to leave a handle, the empress would have found an opportunity to deal with the Senate.
"Well, anyway, the Senate will reveal its own flaws in the future, anyway, I don't have to worry now, it's them who are in a hurry."
Muttering to herself, a playful smile appeared on the empress's face.
The palace maid next to her who combed the empress's hair couldn't help but smile when she saw it.
Seeing this, the empress turned around curiously and asked the palace maid: "Huilan, what are you laughing at?" โ
The palace maid named Huilan smiled and said, "When the slave saw His Majesty laughing, she naturally laughed. โ
treats the people around her, the empress always looks easy-going, so that these palace maids usually find out the empress's personality, know when the empress is really happy, when is pretending to smile, people often say that the companion is like a tiger, but in the eyes of these palace maids, it does not exist at all.
Because the empress is always generous, she will not kill them because they miss and break something.
At that moment, the empress smiled when she heard this, tapped the tip of the palace maid's nose with her hand, and said, "You girl, you can speak." โ
Hui Lan smiled.
After combing her hair, the empress got up to wash, wiped her face, stood still, and waited for the palace maid to dress her wide and put on a dragon robe.
Glancing at the morning light outside, the empress took a deep breath: "It seems that today is also a good weather." โ
At this time, the empress's mood seemed to be like the morning sun that showed her head, how happy she was.
It's just a pity that it's tight, her good mood hasn't lasted long before it is about to be broken.
There was a rush of footsteps, and Narcissus walked in from outside.
Looking at Narcissus, the Empress smiled and asked, "Narcissus, come, how about seeing my outfit today?" โ
Narcissus replied in response, looking a little absent-minded.
Staying together all day, Narcissus can be said to be the empress's most intimate confidant and friend, seeing Narcissus at this time, the empress couldn't help but ask with concern: "What's wrong Narcissus?" What's wrong? โ
Narcissus nodded, mumbled, and then said, "Your Majesty, something happened!" โ
Hearing this, the empress frowned, beckoned Narcissus to sit down, and then asked, "Don't worry, speak slowly, what's wrong?" โ
Narcissus looked at the empress who comforted her, and said in her heart for a while, Your Majesty, don't get excited.
So, she tactfully told the empress about Wang Xiaolai sneaking out of the barracks last night.
"What! That guy ran out without my permission? โ
The empress stood up directly and shouted.
Narcissus hurriedly got up and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister will arrest Wang Xiaolai back." โ
The empress had an angry look on her face, and snorted: "This little laizi is really bold, I only allowed him to go out for a walk not long ago, but I didn't expect that two days after coming back, he ran out by himself again." โ
Narcissus Xin said that it was not, at the beginning, the people who monitored Wang Xiaolai told him the news, and he still didn't believe it.
After all, under the supervision of Lu Gongyou, Wang Xiaolai dared to run out, how could he be described as bold.
But after thinking about it, isn't this exactly what Wang Xiaolai dared to do.
In the world, is there anything Wang Xiaolai dare not do?
"Narcissus."
The empress gritted her teeth.
Hearing this, Narcissus came back to his senses, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty." โ
The empress pointed outside: "Go, no matter what method you use, use the fastest speed for me, and bring me that little bastard of Little Laizi here." โ
Narcissus was stunned for a moment, and pointed to his feet: "Bring it like this?" โ
The empress squinted and nodded, her tone full of indescribable coldness: "Hmm." โ
Seeing this, Narcissus was excited, did not dare to hesitate at all, and hurriedly turned around.

In the guest restaurant, Wang Xiaolai returned with the rescued Niu Er, Liu Dachun, and Lao Mu.
The proprietress who was afraid to rest all night saw Wang Xiaolai and hurriedly greeted her, and said with a pale face: "Guest, after you left last night, someone came to the yamen, saying that they were looking for you." โ
Wang Xiaolai was stunned for a moment, and asked Shu Jiuchai to send Niu Ersan to the second floor, and said to the proprietress: "Looking for me?" What are you looking for me for? โ
"I don't know, they didn't say either, and, moreover."
"Speak."
"And the leader said that we, the criminals who harbored and imprisoned innocent people, demanded that I be fined a thousand taels of silver." The second stunned man answered directly.
When the words fell, the proprietress looked ugly on her face.
Then, the second stunned glared at Wang Xiaolai hatefully: "It's all you, the shopkeeper has saved all the money for so many years, and he has taken it out." โ
"You gave the money?"
The proprietress sighed: "Give it, can you not give it, how dare we ordinary people fight with the officials." โ
Wang Xiaolai was upset when he heard it, and he looked at Shu Jiuchai.
Shu Jiuchai pursed his lips speechlessly, consciously took out two ingots of silver, and said at the same time: "My lord, that's all I have on me." โ
Wang Xiaolai took them all, and without saying a word, stuffed them into the arms of the proprietress: "You take this silver first, and then take the time to go to Foxconn in Xicheng to find Li Shuangyu, the shopkeeper, and take two thousand taels of silver with her, just say that Wang Xiaolai asked you to go." โ
The proprietress hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, no, guest, I didn't mean that." โ
Wang Xiaolai forced the silver into her arms and said, "If you take it, take it, if it's not me, you won't pay this unjust money." โ
The proprietress suddenly showed embarrassment on her face: "But guest, I am ashamed of the fact that you gave me so much silver for no reason." โ
Wang Xiaolai waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I still have to delay with you for a while, and I will take it as my money for today's charter." โ
The proprietress said bluntly: "It's more, it's more." โ
"If you have more, you should be tipped as a tip."
With that, he went straight to the second floor.
Looking at the back of Wang Xiaolai's departure, the proprietress was quite complicated in her heart, to be honest, she had opened a restaurant for so many years, who had never seen it?
Only this guest named Wang Xiaolai made a generous move, and he didn't take the silver seriously at all, even if he was a loser, he was not defeated like this.
You want to say that he spent a lot of money for other purposes, but as long as his own broken shop survived, it couldn't be worth the silver he took out, and he couldn't see through it.
The second stunned ran to the side of the proprietress and said in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, does that guy take a fancy to you, and he pays so much money every time?" โ
The proprietress took a sip: "What nonsense are you talking about, don't you see the girl next to the guest, who is better looking than me, younger than me, and older than me, how can you take a fancy to me." โ
The second stunned pouted: "What if he is like you?" โ
raised her foot and kicked the second stunned look, and the proprietress blushed with shame: "You kid has itchy skin, nonsense." โ
The child was also very aggrieved: "It's not that there are no such people." โ
When the proprietress heard this, she sighed, and she didn't answer the words of the two stunned, she remembered that when she was fourteen years old, there was a monk who told her fortune, saying that she would meet a noble person in her life and enjoy the glory of a lifetime.
But after she got married, she killed her husband that year, was swept out of the street by her in-laws, and picked up the second stunned, she was only fifteen years old, and she grew up with the second stunned child, and now, I don't know how much suffering I have suffered, every time I come back, I will feel sorry for the two copper plates, and I have been distressed for 16 years.
But now it seems that the monk's words have come true, and he has met a nobleman.
Su Bailuo, Su Bailuo, it turns out that your noble person is here.
The thirty-one-year-old proprietress muttered to herself.
