Chapter 323

It's not convenient for waimen to go in and out of the harem. Even if they go in and out, they have to have the emperor's imperial edict or oral instruction. Obviously, Empress Dowager Zhuang has such right.

Zhuang Taifu was brought into Renshou Palace by Qin Gonggong. Qin Gonggong was well behaved and had a decent smile, which made people unable to guess the purpose of calling people into the palace for a while.

It's a good thing.

Zhuang Taifu went to the study in the side hall. The Empress Dowager had already read the book folder for a whole morning. However, due to the backlog for several days, there was still a part of it that had not been approved.

"Empress Dowager." Zhuang Taifu entered the room with a smile and bowed his hand.

But empress dowager Zhuang ignored him, just flipped through the mountain of folds in her hands.

Thinking that the Empress Dowager didn't hear me, Zhuang Taifu took a step forward and said again, "Empress Dowager?"

"I'm not deaf." Empress Dowager Zhuang said without raising her eyelids, she put a folded book she had read into a pile that could not be presented to the emperor.

Zhuang Taifu's look changed slightly.

But when I think of the news I heard this morning that one of the emperor's treasured managers hanged himself, the emperor suspected that it was the Empress Dowager who had done it. He came to Renshou palace to have a big fight with the Empress Dowager. Must be because the Empress Dowager was in a bad mood?

This is what Zhuang Taifu thought.

Empress Dowager Zhuang read seven or eight copies of the book again, and then said faintly, "you are very arrogant recently."

"Well?"

Zhuang Taifu was confused by the sudden words. He looked at the Empress Dowager in surprise: "why did the Empress Dowager say that? What did you do wrong

Empress Dowager Zhuang said, "your hand is too long. You can't move some people."

Zhuang Taifu was stunned: "I don't understand."

"If you don't understand, just listen to me." Empress Dowager Zhuang said coldly, "it's not too much to say that the first clan in the capital is the one who has made a hundred years' foundation, has been holding the tassels for generations, and has high officials. But over the years, the love of the sad family has gradually developed your arrogance and unrestrained nature. Do you think that no matter what you do, Aijia has to carry it for you? Yes, the AI family is the Zhuang family. You are the mother family of the AI family. If the AI family is in power for one day, it will protect you for one day. But have you ever thought about how long the AI family can protect you? "

"Empress Dowager!" said Zhuang Taifu

Empress Dowager Zhuang said: "if the bow is full, it will break. If the water is full, it will overflow. You can only see the sad home is at the height of the sun, but you can't see that the mansion will collapse and the isolated trees will be difficult to support! AI's family is old. It's not many years to live. You're also old. The Zhuang family's talents are withered, and they can't get along with each other. They can't be reused. Only Zhuang Yuheng has some flaws in his white style. He can't hide his flaws with his fine carving. But even this child is going to be abandoned by you! "

"Empress Dowager!"

Zhuang Taifu lifted his clothes and knelt down in fear. Of course, he didn't understand.

I don't understand why the Empress Dowager said that, or why she destroyed her prestige so much?

Let alone the fact that empress dowager Zhuang still has at least ten years to live, that is to say no. his royal highness King Ning is becoming more and more prosperous. As long as he inherits the grand unification, why worry that the banker can not continue to be brilliant for a hundred years?

But walls have ears. He still dare not say too much.

"Don't say that, Empress Dowager. You want to have a hundred years of fortune."

"Well, a hundred years? If it wasn't for Xiao LIULANG's and Gu's concubine's rescue, I'm afraid I would have been in peace for a long time? "

It seems that Zhuang Taifu was suddenly called. He looked at the Empress Dowager in great amazement: "the Empress Dowager... Is she blaming the Minister for suppressing Xiao LIULANG? He's your Majesty's man! How can I tolerate his growing up in the Imperial Academy? "

Empress Dowager Zhuang slapped her folding on the table: "whose person is he? I need you to tell the mourning family!"

Zhuang Taifu was shocked by the powerful aura of Empress Dowager Zhuang. He hadn't seen empress dowager Zhuang get so angry for many years.

The cold sweat on his forehead came out. He arched his hand and lowered his head: "I dare not."

Empress Dowager Zhuang said in a cold voice, "the AI family is talking to you about state affairs, political affairs and family affairs, but you only hear about private affairs! It's all right if the family's painstaking efforts are wasted! I don't want to talk about it! Brother and sister a scene, sad home send you eight words: Official Title hang Cheng, fast current brave retreat

Zhuang Taifu clenched his fists, and his eyes were like a torch, saying: "what a brave man! Are the efforts of generations of makers in vain! The banker took the helm above the imperial court and made great contributions. Which one of the great rivers and mountains of the state of Zhao did not have the credit of our banker? "

Empress Dowager Zhuang's eyes were cold, and her powerful aura surged like a torrent: "the credit is from the Qin family, and so are the rivers and mountains. When you say such rebellious words, don't you want to rebel?"

Zhuang Taifu's heart was shocked. He was stunned for a moment. He arched his hand and said, "I'm sorry."

Empress Dowager Zhuang coldly took back her sight: "I've said all I can about it. Please step back."

"... yes, I'll leave!"

Zhuang Taifu stood up.

When the hot wind in June blew, he suddenly felt that his back was drenched with cold sweat.

After Zhuang Taifu left, Duke Qin came in with a cup of tea.

He guarded the door of the study, and naturally heard the conversation inside. He put the newly brewed hot tea in the hands of Empress Dowager Zhuang and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that the Empress Dowager would think so long for the Chuang Tzu. It was the slave who had a low vision. He thought that the Empress Dowager Xuanzhuang Taifu only came into the palace to vent her anger on Xiao Xiu."

Empress Dowager Zhuang took up the fold and gave a cold hum.

The long-term bullshit.

It's just words.

"If the AI family only tells him one thing, no matter how small it is, it's also a big thing. If the AI family tells him several big things, LIULANG's affair becomes a small matter. It's a small matter, so there's no need to worry about it."

Qin Gonggong had a bitter face: "er... I'm stupid."

Empress Dowager Zhuang's mind flashed the embarrassment of someone complaining and falling on a horse. She was in a bad mood. Why did she have some patience with Duke Qin: "I've heard that you've raised a little turtle recently?"

Qin Gonggong said with a smile: "the news of the Empress Dowager is really smart."

Empress Dowager Zhuang said, "it's not the AI family that is well-informed. It's the little turtle that crawled to the AI family's feet that day. The AI family looked at it and saw that it was different from the ones you used to raise."

Duke Qin has no other hobby. He loves to raise a son of a bitch. As the saying goes, a turtle for thousands of years is a son of a bitch. His life is longer than that of a turtle. So he thinks about raising a son of a bitch. Maybe he can live eight years longer.

Empress Dowager Zhuang said quietly, "that one is very good. I'll take it to stew in the evening."

"Ah?" Duke Qin's face changed greatly.

"What? Can't bear it? " Empress Dowager Zhuang sighed, "recently, AI's family has been fighting with these tortoise bastards. The Taoist priest said that if you eat one Xu, you will be relieved. If you can't eat it, you can only send them away. Henceforth, Renshou palace will no longer be allowed to raise tortoise bastards."

Qin Gonggong wronged way: "that, that slave or take the virtue to you stew."

"Who's going to eat that?" Empress Dowager Zhuang is making a comparison with him.

In an instant, Duke Qin said, "ah... Xiao Xiuzhuan is the little bastard..."

Empress Dowager Zhuang's cold eyes hit me!

Who is the bastard!

You are an old bastard!

"Cough!" Qin Gonggong said, "I can't speak. I'm a bastard... But..." he said, "you're very clever."

Empress Dowager Zhuang gave a light sneer.

Brilliant?

What she said is not true. It's just that the dealer doesn't want to rush back and can't.

This vortex, they can't get out from very early.

Today, both Guozijian and Qinghe academy leave school early. Nanxiang and Master Lu have to go out for three days, so Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan don't have to go to study arts these days.

Three little men gathered at home.

Xiaojingkong fell asleep when she came back from the Palace last night. She didn't have time to give out her present. She forgot it when she went out in the morning.

Xiaojingkong took out the brocade box and ran to the main room daddada: "it was my aunt who asked me to take it!"

What my aunt asked me to bring was generally for everyone.

Yao sat in the hall to cool off and watched with a smile as several children played in the hall.

She felt that such a lively and beautiful day was a life that she did not dare to imagine for more than ten years.

"Oh, I can't open it!" Xiaojing's empty hand is too weak.

"I'll do it!" Gu Xiaoshun rolled up his sleeve and snapped the box open.

The box is not big. After all, it's too big to hold. It's not too small. There are many things in it.

Three small heads crowded together, Baba looked at the gift in the brocade box.

Xiaojingkong took out the gifts one by one: "cat's eye stone, this is brother Yan's! Gem knife, this is brother Xiaoshun's! Silver needle, delicate! Golden bowl, my God

Then there is an embroidery atlas for Yao.

"No bad brother-in-law." Little headroom shook his head and said, "what a pity!"

Poor Xiao LIULANG bravely entered the room and put a brocade box which was twice as big as the small one on the table.

Three younger brothers open big eyes son, see brocade box, see him again.

"What?" Asked little clearance.

Xiao LIULANG answers him with practical actions. He opens the brocade box, slowly takes out the contents and puts them on the table. The first one is the token of Renshou palace, the second one is a Yeming pearl the size of a fist, then an inkstone made of warm jade, and then

He moved gracefully, not in a hurry, and took half a quarter of an hour to finish the trinkets inside.

A full table!

The three little men's eyes were wide open.

Xiaojingkong was stunned: "is it... From my aunt?"

So many good things!

Small clearance: "which is for me?"

Xiao LIULANG stretched out his slender fingertips and walked around the gift upstream. He picked up a golden lock that blinded people's eyes: "mine."

Xiaojingkong swallowed.

Then he picked up the warm jade inkstone: "mine."

Gu Yan swallowed.

Then he picked up an emerald Turk knife: "it's mine, too."

Gu Xiaoshun swallowed.

"It's still mine."

"It's mine again."

"Ah, it seems that it's all mine." Suddenly became the biggest local tyrant in the family!

After showing off his spoils, Xiao LIULANG put in the last token of Renshou palace, and then went back to the house with great arrogance!

All of you:

Suddenly feel brother-in-law today good owe smoke is how one thing?!

Gu Jiao didn't know her husband's childish behavior. She just came out of the hospital and got on the carriage to xianleju.

She wants to know who is behind the scenes of xianleju.

She always feels that the person who assassinates her has something to do with the people behind the scenes of xianleju. At the same time, she suspects that Yuantang has a powerful accomplice in the capital.

In a word, the key to everything is xianleju.

Gu Jiao's xianleju token has not been taken away by Mo Qianxue. With the token, she smoothly enters xianleju.

She was still dressed as a young lady, wearing a half face silver mask, which appropriately covered her outline.

The only trouble is that her chest is too tight, there is no way, except for the long one is long there, not tight can not cover the woman's figure.

It's really hot.

Gu Jiao wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve and walked to the center of the hall.

She didn't plan to go directly to the girl of the last time. She just wanted to walk and listen first.

Everyone has a love for beauty. It has to be said that all the girls in xianleju are like the people in the painting, and they are very eye-catching.

Gu Jiao walked casually. Suddenly, a peony flower hit her shoulder.

This is the old rule of xianleju. If you are hit, you will be honored to be a girl's guest.

This time, she was a woman in yellow. She was beautiful but not vulgar, gorgeous but not evil.

All the girls in xianleju are not worldly. They are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, song and Fu, and even in Eight Legged prose and arithmetic.

Gu Jiao looked at the peony in her hand and hesitated.

Just for a moment, Shi Shi ran, the maid of the woman in yellow, went downstairs and saluted Gu Jiao respectfully: "young master, my girl, please."

Although this girl is on the second floor, after she smashed flowers at her, no one dares to smash flowers at her. You know, last time she was almost flooded by flowers.

Gu Jiao doesn't think that her charm is gone. It should be that the girl's identity in xianleju is not simple.

Good.

Just her.

Gu Jiao went up to the second floor with the little servant girl.

The woman in yellow, holding a beautiful fan, covers her face under her eyebrows. She smiles at Gu Jiao, turns around and moves into the room.

Even walking is full of vitality.

"Girl, please." The little servant girl takes Gu Jiao to the woman's house in yellow.

This room is at the end of the corridor. It has one more door than other rooms. It's really a distinguished one.

Gu Jiao nodded and stepped inside.

The woman in yellow sat in front of the window sill, with her back to Gu Jiao, and played a piece of music, which was graceful, like crying, like the sound of nature.

When the song was finished, she covered her face with a folding fan and came to Gu Jiao. She saluted gracefully and gently: "I've seen you before. I dare to ask you what you call me."

Gu Jiao naturally won't talk to her. She is about to take out a small book and write down her answer. Suddenly, a ice blue figure with a veil comes into the door. She pulls Gu Jiao behind her, raises her hand and throws a loud slap on the face of the woman in yellow!

Suddenly, even Gu Jiao was confused.

When she was dragged behind her, she didn't do it because she didn't feel the other party's malice to her, but she didn't expect the other party to do it so arrogantly to the woman in yellow.

The woman in yellow was beaten to the side of her head, and several finger marks quickly appeared on her cheek.

She covered her face and looked at the uninvited guest in the room in disbelief and anger: "Mo Qianxue! You are crazy

"You are crazy! You dare to move the person that Ben Huakui likes Mo Qianxue said, a drag down her waist sachet, cold to throw on the ground, "also used the charm of incense! Hua Xiyao, how dare you

The woman in yellow, who is called huaxiyao, has a twinkle in her eyes and shows her fear unconsciously.

She drew back a little.

Mo Qianxue disdains to say: "hum! For the sake of the Lord, I'll go around you once, and if I dare to hit my head again, I'll scratch your face! "

After that, she grabs Gu Jiao's wrist and takes her out of Hua Xiyao's house.

She directly pulled Gu Jiao up to the third floor.

The third floor is as quiet and empty as ever.

Gu Jiao poked her small shoulder and asked her with her eyes, is this floor only inhabited by you?

Mo Qianxue did not have a good way: "there are residents."

The owner?

Is he the boss of xianleju?

Mo Qianxue took Gu Jiao's hand into her room and looked at Gu Jiao fiercely: "where did that woman touch you?"

Gu Jiao shook her head like a rattle.

Mo Qianxue frowned: "didn't you touch it? Are you serious

Gu Jiao nodded.

Mo Qian Xue looks a little Ji, looked at the stool beside the eight immortals table: "sit down."

Gu Jiao sits down.

"Get some water." Mo Qianxue ordered.

"Yes." The little servant girl made a basin of cold water.

Mo Qianxue twisted the towel in person to wipe the sweat on Gu Jiao's forehead.

Gu Jiao leaned back subconsciously.

Mo Qianxue's hand fluttered empty: "don't hide!"

Gu Jiao: Oh.

Mo Qianxue wiped Gu Jiao's forehead carefully, and muttered: "are you a fool? Won't you go straight up to the third floor? No one dares to stop you

I'm not here to see you.

Mo Qianxue turned her lips and explained without expression: "I didn't tell you that yesterday was my birthday. I went to the lake, so I'm not in xianleju."

Er... Don't explain to me.
