Chapter 161

Jiang Boyou sent a memorial to the Xiao family. It's almost like he dared to stroke the tiger's whiskers. The Xiao family was very angry from top to bottom. What's more, many people in the government and the public have been wondering when Jiang Boyou will have bad luck.

Xiao is now in power of the relatives, the mother of the Empress Dowager!

As an emperor, Shen Lang's attitude towards the Xiao family in the past few years has been seen by everyone and can be called "connivance". Although a minister of the Ministry of officials was not a small official in the imperial court, what was he in front of the emperor?

"It seems that this Mr. Jiang is not a fussy person at ordinary times. Why did he come here to argue with Xiao this time

"Just for your daughter?"

"Yes, it's said that in order to choose the princess of Linzi, these rich families in Beijing are secretly holding their strength. Was the reputation of the girl of the Jiang family first spread by the people over there

"The arm can't wring the thigh. Why do you need to breathe?"

"Too bad, too bad."

No one thinks that Jiang Boyou can get a good deal from Xiao.

Sure enough, there are few people who really stand up and support Jiang Boyou. They are all afraid of being shot in the head and have bad luck on themselves. After the memorial was handed over, it didn't get an official reply. Instead, it was deducted by Shen Lang and left in the middle.

Xiao Yuan was so satisfied that he threatened to make Jiang Boyou look good.

But no one thought that only one day later, the memorial that had been prepared was sent directly to the cabinet, and it was submitted to several assistant ministers to discuss whether it would be approved.

Although it's just such a small action, it has great significance in the eyes of those who want to do it.

Every family can't help calculating in secret.

The cabinet ministers sat around the memorial which was placed in the middle of the table. They looked at each other in silence, for fear that they might have guessed the meaning of the emperor wrong.

In the afternoon, Xiao was in a panic.

At this time, I was afraid that the Empress Dowager would be caught by the Empress Dowager.

*

in the evening, there is a layer of twilight.

The palace people who served the dinner came out.

Xiao Shu, dressed in gorgeous clothes, shows a kind of vitality that is incompatible with the CI Ning palace against the backdrop of the yellow light in the bleak sky. She stands still for a moment and waits for the inside to summon, then comes in from outside the palace to meet her.

When empress Xiao saw her, she laughed and said, "when I was as young as you, I had this kind of elegance. You must be here for what happened in recent days, right? I've heard all about it. "

Suddenly, the bottom of Xiao Shu's heart was cold.

She felt that it was not right. When was the tone of this noble aunt, who used to dominate the sixth palace, so dull, and how could she begin to recall that year?

"Even today's aunt's style is beyond Shu's reach, let alone that year?" Xiao Shu bowed to salute, and got up as usual to get close to her. "My aunt also expected things like a God, and it's hard for my father to be stable in recent days. As you know, he is always a man who can't make up his mind. He is also thinking about the beginning of spring, when it's hot and cold, and the solar terms are changing for no reason. So I'd like to invite Shu to greet you, or give you some advice. "

Xiao Shu has always been a good talker. If she always listened to her, the Empress Dowager would have laughed and brought her to talk to her.

But now I just stare at her.

After a long time, she saw that the smile on Xiao Shu's face was gradually unable to hang up. Then she slowly said, "where can I compare with you in those years? As you said, it's your father who needs advice from AI family. It's my useless brother! Why do you need it? "

As soon as the words came out, Xiao Shu bent down and knelt down in front of her. Her voice sounded a little frightened: "aunt, why is it so serious?"

Mrs. Xiao couldn't find a smile behind her. She was even a little fierce. She bit her teeth and said, "my stupid brother really has a good daughter! AI Jia only knows that you are smart and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. You are the only person in the capital who is worthy of sitting in the position of the leader of the six palaces! You really live up to it! It's a good plan for your father to stay at home! "

Xiao Shu raised her eyes and looked at her in amazement.

Empress Dowager Xiao sneered and said, "the discussion of making peace with relatives is rampant. Xiao's family is the living target of others! Your father can't carry it clearly, but you can't be unaware of it. The more this kind of time, the more you can't act rashly. But what advice did you give your father? He even splashed dirty water on Jiang Boyou's daughter through TongZhou! "

Xiao Shu still didn't seem to understand the Empress Dowager's words, and said: "Jiang Xuehui is ah Shu's biggest opponent. Without her, the position of Linzi princess is not mine. Is ah Shu wrong?"

"Confused!"

Seeing that she didn't understand, empress Xiao was so angry that she slapped her in the face!

"Pa!"

Xiao Shu was hit a stagger, fell to sit on the ground.

Empress Xiao pointed to her nose and scolded: "I've spent so many years teaching you. I didn't expect that you are my stupid elder brother and stupid girl. It's useless to look at your intelligence everyday, and wax is in your head at the critical moment! Although Jiang Xuehui was hurt by the dirty water you spilled on Jiang Xuening, didn't you expect others to fight back? What's more, the marketplace court is talking about you now. They want to push you to go to Tatar for Le yang to make peace with them. How can you choose you as the imperial concubine if you can understand the current situation?! There are so many people in the world that one person's saliva is enough to drown him! Even if we don't choose Jiang Xuehui, there are also Chen Shuyi and Zhao Shuyi! Where can I get you? "The palace maids left early and went outside, and the whole hall was in a cold silence.

Xiao Shu's drooping eyes vibrated gently. When she raised her head, it seemed that she had just thought of these things. She lost her spirit.

After a while, she seemed flustered. She knelt down to empress dowager Xiao and kowtowed: "ah Shu was so confused that she forgot that there was another layer, but now the big mistake has been made. Auntie, auntie, you've been in the palace for many years. The emperor is your close relative. There must be something you can do? I'm so afraid that they will really send me to make up with you... "

Tears fall down as they speak.

Empress Dowager Xiao usually teaches her as a close relative, because she is not so playful and indulgent, so sometimes she is better to Xiao Shu than to Shen Zhi Yi, her own daughter.

But at the moment, seeing that she was in a mess, I was a little tired and disappointed.

She said coldly, "if you don't make such a stupid move, or fear that your family will protect you. After all, I, Xiao, have a great power. If I send you to make peace with him, the emperor is afraid that he will be stabbed. He should be on guard against Xiao's collusion with Tatars to usurp the throne. But you'd better hand the knife to the emperor, and let him have an excuse to weaken Xiao first! "

Now the emperor felt that he had no power to deal with the affairs of his family, so he tried to find a way to deal with them. Go back by yourself, and you won't have to come to the palace often in the future

Xiao Shu didn't seem to believe that she was so heartless.

Looking at the aunt, she asked: "aunt, do you want to watch ah Shu go to the dangerous Tatar and get married?"

Xiaotai behind expressionless, unmoved, said: "Zhiyi is the family's flesh and blood, she can go, what do you have to go?"

Xiao Shu dropped her head.

Empress Dowager Xiao got up and didn't care about her any more. She only left a sentence: "there is no father and son in heaven's family. It's because you are so stupid that you don't blame your family for being too cruel."

With these words, the figure of empress Xiao has disappeared behind the screen.

The dusk outside fell completely, and the hall was dark.

So no matter the empress Xiao who left or the maids who came in, they didn't see it. At the moment when the shadow of empress Xiao disappeared and the darkness shrouded her, on a beautiful face, Xiao Shu's respect, fear and sadness all faded like a layer of color on the painting, leaving only a beautiful face with delicate facial features.

Like a dummy.

Even revealed a kind of treacherous.

She got up very quietly and came out of the hall with the five fingerprints left by Empress Xiao's slap on her cheek.

The palace maids were carrying lanterns to send her out of the palace.

Because he heard that the Empress Dowager was angry, he did not dare to look at her carefully. He looked at her and buried his head.

Only half way, Xiao Shu stopped.

The palace maid looked back.

But Xiao Shu stood under a palace wall and looked up at a place above: there was a small gecko lying on the edge of the vermilion wall, which was not rare anywhere else, but the tail was short and looked bare. It turned out that there was a broken mark.

The palace maid was startled: "it must be that the eunuch in the palace is not careful. Why is there such a thing?"

She came up to drive the gecko away.

The gecko immediately crawled along the wall.

Xiao Shu lowered her eyes, but her face was a little gloomy, and her heart felt more pathetic: if someone had told her before, she would be forced step by step to the point where she is now trying to survive. I'm afraid that she would become such a person's gibberish and make people beat her out.

But now

The reality of the situation so cruelly placed in front of her.

Just now, the cruel words of empress Xiao in the palace of CI Ning still reverberated in her mind, but they didn't arouse half of her disappointment and sadness, let alone any shame.

How could she not know the consequences of smearing Jiang Xuening by taking advantage of Tongzhou?

It's impossible not to know the current situation, not to mention Linzi Wang Shen Li, but anyone who has a little insight in Beijing will not marry her at this time, causing countless troubles to his family.

Jiang Xuening!

Xiao Shu quietly took the palace lantern from the maid's hand and said, "give it to me. I know all the roads in the palace. If I want to be alone, I can go out of the palace myself."

On the one hand, the palace maids did not dare to talk much, on the other hand, they were very happy. So they hesitated for a while and did not object.

But when the maid of honor left, Xiao Shu's steps turned, and the direction she went was not shunzhen gate in the northeast corner, but Qianqing palace in the center of the whole palace!
