Chapter 056: The Queen Mother's Intent

"What is just speculation, isn't the current situation obvious enough?"

Xiao Qi no longer wasted her lips and tongues with her, and directly suggested to Mei Ji: "Niangniang, the slave maid thinks that today's summons of the Queen Mother is a great thing for Niangniang. ”

Hui Chang was unconvinced: "A good thing, tell me, what is the great good thing, so that neither my mother nor I found out." ”

Hui Chang was very unhappy today, after all, such a major event as going to meet the Queen Mother should be accompanied by the head of the palace. But because of the queen mother's will, she could only wait outside, and she didn't even enter the palace gate.

The words of the palace people who came and went had already made her very angry.

Now, Xiao Qi is still working against her, of course she won't let it go easily.

Hui Chang's hostility is very strong, Xiao Qi explained: "The Queen Mother dislikes the Hunan people, it is difficult to change, so when treating Niangniang, her attitude may not be as friendly to other people, which is inevitable." But Niangniang thought about it, if the Queen Mother really wanted to make it difficult for you, why didn't she make it difficult when Niangniang went to meet her in person in the morning, and waited until noon, and sent the inner eunuch to Fengtian Pavilion to spread the word in person. ”

Mei Ji looked at Xiao Qi and had a sudden feeling.

"You mean, the Queen Mother did this to let the palace know that she summoned me. ”

"Exactly. Xiao Qi smiled and said: "Yu Ji Niangniang came from a humble background, and she was helpless in the palace, she served the Queen Mother wholeheartedly, and she was also finding a backer for herself." The Queen Mother also understands her hard work, the palace is sinister, and self-preservation is the best. She served wholeheartedly, and the Queen Mother also thought of her good and wanted to find a way out for her. The Queen Mother knew that she could not keep her safe for the rest of her life, and it happened that Yu Ji Niangniang mentioned Niangniang in front of her old man, and the Queen Mother must know the deep meaning, and the reason why she was summoned in a high-profile manner was to let everyone in the palace know that Yu Ji Niangniang could let her treat Niangniang well with a word. This is not only to give Yu Ji Niangniang prestige, but also to find a partner for her who can protect each other. I hope that Niangniang will read on today's grace, and you can take more care of Yu Ji Niangniang when she is in trouble in the future. ”

Being analyzed like this by Xiao Qi, Mei Ji suddenly realized, but she was still a little incredulous: "Queen Mother, she actually likes Yu Ji so much?"

"It's not just for Yu Ji Niangniang. Xiao Qi said: "Niangniang forgot, the Empress Dowager mentioned that the Queen Mother rewarded you with a slave ......"

Xiao Qi is clearly appreciative of the past, and he went to Fengtian Pavilion again, and the Queen Mother must have paid attention to it.

Mei Ji finally understood now: "You mean, the Queen Mother is doing it for the queen this time?"

Xiao Qi nodded: "I don't know if Niangniang still remembers Changji." At that time, the slave maid was in the Kunling Palace, and saw how Changji Hen forced the king, and the queen considered the king everywhere on the surface and gave advice, but in fact, it had already made the queen mother unhappy. Now, the queen mother's old tricks are repeated, and she has intensified several times, and if the queen mother doesn't mention it, I'm afraid it will cause even more disasters......"

The corners of Mei Ji's lips hooked slightly: "Yes, it doesn't matter whether the Queen Mother really likes me or not, the most important thing is that she likes Yu Ji, and she doesn't like the queen even more." ”

Xiao Qi glanced at Hui Chang, who had an ugly face next to him, knelt down and said, "Slave and maid, congratulations to Mei Ji Niangniang, and I have had another help from now on." ”

Mei Ji took a deep breath of satisfaction: "You are really a baby, three or two sentences will make me feel good." Hurry up, in the future, there will be your benefits. ”

Mama Cao personally closed the window of the hall and checked it many times to make sure that there was not a single gap before slowly entering the inner room.

The Queen Mother, who had slept all afternoon, was standing at the desk to practice writing at the moment, her calligraphy was a must in all continents, and at this time every day, she would practice for half an hour for the purpose of nourishing her nature.

When Mama Cao approached, she saw that on the high-grade rice paper, a strong and powerful word 'De' had completed the last stroke.

Putting down the brush, the Queen Mother carefully studied the words on the paper and nodded with satisfaction.

"Today's words are written very smoothly. ”

"The Queen Mother's words were taught by Emperor Qi, and the slaves and maids looked at it, any word was excellent. ”

The Queen Mother raised her head and looked at the kneeling little palace maid in front of her, this palace maid was the one who burned Xiao Qi.

She has been kneeling here for a long time, just waiting for the Queen Mother's question. When the Queen Mother didn't speak, she was very worried, and always looked at Mama Cao from time to time.

Mama Cao glanced at her and asked, "That little slave has been holding back, not saying anything or doing anything?"

The little palace maid hurriedly replied: "Back to the words of the Queen Mother, back to the words of the mother, the slave and maid dare not forget, let alone do not do things without dedication." The slave spilled all the soup on the back of her neck, and the hot soup was poured directly on it, and the slave and maid did not understand why she was motionless. ”

"Really motionless?"

"Yes, the slave doesn't dare to deceive the Queen Mother. ”

Although this kind of thing, the little palace maid herself didn't believe it, after all, no one could stand such a high temperature of soup, poured directly on the leather surface, the heart-piercing pain, how could she let out a miserable scream.

The original plan was to let the little slave be punished for his misdeeds in front of the palace, but seeing that Xiao Qi did not have any irregularities, the little palace maid was scared into a cold sweat at the moment, for fear that the Queen Mother and Mama Cao would press the charge of unfavorable affairs on herself.

She thought about it repeatedly, and she felt that she had already taken the hottest soup, so there should be no problem.

The Queen Mother retracted her gaze, and the corners of her eyes flashed with approval.

"In all these years, this is the first one to compare to you. It's a pity that she is a Hunan person. ”

Mama Cao said calmly: "The more people like this, the more beware they must beware." ”

"You're right. The Queen Mother asked, "What's the name of that sister of hers?" ”

"Practice. Mama Cao replied: "It's not her sister, it's just that they were locked up in the same dungeon, taking care of each other, and they fell in love." After entering the palace, Xiao Qi took care of Su Lian, Su Lian was also very good, and she did a good job in the Flower Bureau, and the palace people there liked her very much. It's just that now, he was transferred to the Kunling Hall and became the queen's tea slave. ”

"The queen likes to drink tea, but she doesn't have to have so many people serving it. Mei Ji's previous talk of being diligent and thrifty is not unreasonable. The palace should be thrifty as an example. ”

Mama Cao thought for a moment what the Queen Mother meant: "Then the slave will go to inform the Kunling Hall tomorrow and let the little slave take care of the situation?"

"Let's not get too involved in their affairs, lest we fall into the hands of others and say that my hand is too long. You forgot again, you can't be a master if you are not deaf or dumb, I wish I could nest in this perched phoenix hall every day and be a deaf and dumb idle person. ”
