Chapter 673: Slapping the face in public

Zhen knew that now was not the time to tear his face with Zhen Guogong.

Although the current Zhenguo Gong is idle at home, he still has a lot of influence in the court.

When the court minister, Fan Shijie was the son-in-law of the Zhenguo Mansion.

And the Bai family has just arrived in the capital, and everything has not yet gained a firm foothold.

Whether it is from the perspective of strength or Bai Panmei's future, this is not the time to put the past contradictions on the table with the Zhenguo Mansion.

What's more, there is no tangible evidence of what the Zhen family's big house did to the Zhen family's second room.

No, the old lady pretended to be confused, and there was no tangible evidence for her to admit it.

"Fu'er, yesterday was at the door of our house, sending Qiu and Zhuangyuan...... The two children had a conflict over a trivial matter. As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, we are folding our arms and hiding them in our sleeves, and we will all be a family in the future."

The old lady knew that yesterday's events could not be concealed in front of the Queen Mother, so it was better to be a virtuous person in front of the Queen Mother and take the initiative to mention yesterday's events to cover up the past.

Zhen sneered, the eldest aunt is so calculating, yesterday's Zhen Jiqiu openly let the slave shout and kill Bai Panmei, the official of the imperial court, which became "a little contradiction between the two children" in her mouth.

"The mourners have heard about this." The Queen Mother said directly, "Sister-in-law is really, Qiu'er is young and ignorant, what about you? But I heard that you were sitting in the carriage. Because of the collision of a child, he shouted and shouted to kill. But I am to blame for this, and blame me for sitting in the position of the queen mother, so that my mother's family can bully others."

The Queen Mother's words were straightforward and serious.

The frightened old lady knelt directly on the ground, and Zhen Jiqiu knelt beside the old lady and trembled.

It's all to blame on that Bai Panmei.

It's not that I haven't been arrogant in the past, if it weren't for Bai Panmei making a big fuss, it would not have reached the ears of the Queen Mother.

"Queen Mother, what you said can break me. Courtiers...... The courtiers are guilty." The old lady kowtowed and pleaded guilty, gritted her teeth and said, "In order to make amends, the courtesy decided to punish herself for copying the "Pure Heart Mantra" a hundred times."

The Queen Mother said lightly, "You can realize the mistake, and it will work better than copying the scriptures 10,000 times."

Then the Queen Mother turned her head to Bai Panmei and said, "You did the right thing yesterday."

Bai Panmei thanked the Empress Dowager for her affirmation.

The old lady's face was hot, and she felt that the Queen Mother was slapping her face in public.

But at the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief, at least the Queen Mother did not continue to entangle the Zhen family when she was sold to Yangzhou.

Then the Queen Mother chatted and laughed with Mrs. Bai again, hugged Xiao Fuyuan and didn't let go, and asked the small kitchen to cook food for Xiao Fuyuan.

"Queen Mother, you have been holding Xiao Yuanbao for so long, don't be tired." Old Lady Bai said.

"It's okay, this child is a blessed one, and I like it when I see him." The Queen Mother said.

"I like my aunt too." Xiao Fuyuan said.

"I just heard from your sister-in-law that you are also literate, what books have you read?" The Queen Mother asked.

"I'm reading the Analects." Xiao Fuyuan said.

"Where have you read the Analects, let's listen to it." The Queen Mother smiled.

"Reading about wealth and nobility is what man wants; If you don't get it by its way, you can't get it anywhere. Poverty and cheapness are the evil of people; If you don't get it by its way, you won't go. A gentleman goes to benevolence, and he becomes famous? A gentleman has no end of food, and he will make a mistake, and he will do it." Xiao Fuyuan's crisp voice sounded in Yuqing Palace.

Mrs. Bai looked at Xiao Fuyuan, although she didn't understand, but she was honored, and her little granddaughter would memorize such a large number of books.

"Well, not only should you read it, but you should also remember the truth in your heart." The Queen Mother touched Xiao Fuyuan's head.

Xiao Fuyuan nodded.

When the old lady of the Zhenguo Mansion heard this part of Xiaofuyuan's back, she always felt that the Queen Mother and this little girl were singing and satirizing her, and her face was a little unbearable again.

At the same time, I wondered, who is this child?

Why is it so pleasing to the Queen Mother.

Calling the Queen Mother an aunt, could it be Fu'er's daughter?

"Sister-in-law, this is Fu'er's youngest daughter, Xiao Yuanbao." The old lady's puzzled eyes

couldn't escape the Queen Mother's gaze, and the Queen Mother solved her confusion.

"Jiqiu, this is your cousin, you see that your cousin knows how to read and understands the truth at such a young age, you should also learn it. Don't just dress up and be domineering all day long, our Zhen family's flesh and blood can't be a loss to the Zhen family." The Queen Mother didn't wait for the old lady to react, and directly reprimanded Zhen Jiqiu on the side.

Zhen Jiqiu's face turned pale.

On weekdays, the Queen Mother is indifferent to her and Fan Lingyi, and will not directly reprimand.

But today in Yuqing Palace, she reprimanded her in front of the palace people and the Bai family, if this word spreads from Yuqing Palace, she will become the laughing stock of the nobles in the entire capital.

It's just like cousin Fan Lingyi.

"Yes, thank you for the teachings of the Queen Mother." In front of the Queen Mother, Zhen Jiqiu naturally didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he had to listen obediently.

Zhen Jiqiu saw that the Queen Mother turned to smile and talk to Xiao Fuyuan.

Xiao Fuyuan, a country girl, was favored by the Queen Mother as soon as she came to the capital, and she also called the Queen Mother her aunt, but Zhen Jiqiu refused to accept it.

My nails were clenched in the palms of my hands and I almost bleed.

"Furong Township Master, this is the Queen Mother's favorite chestnut cake, you can taste it." Mama Chang personally brought the new chestnut crisp from the small kitchen to Xiao Fuyuan.

The old lady of the Zhenguo Mansion and Zhen Jiqiu's eyes were covered with disbelief at the same time.

This country girl has only been here for a day, and she has been named the village master.

It can be seen that the Queen Mother is of grace to the Bai family.

And Fan Lingyi, the old lady begged so many times and didn't give a title.

This little girl pressed all the girls of the Zhen family and the Fan family.

"Sister-in-law, look at how handsome the little girl of the Fu'er family is, I like her as soon as I see her. Don't say I'm biased, she, the township lord of Furong, was not sealed in the past two days, as early as the year before last before Fu'er was not found, Xiao Yuanbao was sealed as the township master because he found the seeds of Yan Xiao. Speaking of which, it's all fate." The Queen Mother glanced at Zhen Jiqiu and said lightly, "So if you don't care about the township lord and the princess of the county, if you can afford it, the emperor will be crowned."

The old lady felt a fire in her heart.

In other words, her granddaughter is not worthy.

Zhen Jiqiu was also very embarrassed, because she mentioned behind her back several times that Princess Yun'an was a fake.

"My sister-in-law is old, and she must be sad to see Fu'er. I won't leave you to eat in the palace." After feeding Xiao Fuyuan a piece of chestnut crisp, the Queen Mother turned to the old lady and said.

"Father-in-law Hong, send the old lady of the Zhenguo Mansion out, and by the way, bring some of the paper I copied to my sister-in-law." The Queen Mother waved her hand to Gonggong Hong.

The old lady of the Zhenguo Mansion almost didn't get angry.

What does the paper for her copy the scriptures mean?

Isn't it just to punish her openly.

But she couldn't care about it so much, she had to hurry back to the mansion and tell her son about the Zhen mansion.

After the old lady left, the queen mother left the old lady and others to eat, and Aunt Chen's mother and daughter were naturally also
