The Empress Dowager looked at Ye Xiaoxian's clothes and said, "your clothes are good. Yours?"
Ye Xiaoxian thought, it's not mine. Is it yours?
"The last time I entered the palace, the queen gave me a reward!" Ye Xiaoxian said.
This is the clothes that officials and family members must wear when entering the palace, so she put it on again this time.
The Empress Dowager smiled contemptuously: "hum, the queen thought it all out. In order to make you look like a mourning family, she even made clothes that the mourning family usually likes. She was kind-hearted."
Ye Xiaoxian thought again: is that so?
In this way, the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Queen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not very good. It turns out that the discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not only common people's home, but also the royal family.
However, what is the significance of the Queen's doing this? Is it deliberately disgusting to the Empress Dowager?
The Empress Dowager looks like a peasant woman. Isn't it disgusting?
The Empress Dowager asked, "Ai family heard that you have been living in Guoshi mansion all this time?"
"Go back to the empress dowager, yes!" Ye Xiaoxian replied.
"How are you doing at the government house?"
"Very good." Ye Xiaoxian said.
She thought that since ancient times, officials have interacted with each other. The Empress Dowager and the national teacher may be together. She can't talk nonsense.
But the Empress Dowager still asked, "Oh, what a good way?"
Ye Xiaoxian said, "the national master's family eats well and lives well."
"Will the national master give you silver to spend freely?" Asked the Empress Dowager.
That's true.
But ye Xiaoxian heard the displeasure in the Empress Dowager's tone.
Does the Empress Dowager still take charge of the money of the national division house? Or does the Empress Dowager want to take the opportunity to punish Ye Xiaoxian for spending money recklessly?
"Ask you something, why don't you answer?" The Empress Dowager asked again.
Ye Xiaoxian said, "at the beginning, I just wrapped up food and shelter, but a few days ago, the national master suddenly called the maidservant and said that he asked the maidservant to go out for a stroll, and the expenses messed with the national master's house."
"So you took his money for granted?" Asked the Empress Dowager.
Ye Xiaoxian thought: no white, no flower.
But she couldn't say so. She said, "the national teacher may be thinking that the husband of the slave and maid killed the enemy on the battlefield, so T-shirt the slave and maid."
"In other words, he didn't treat you before. He suddenly treated you a few days ago?"
Ye Xiaoxian seems to understand something.
After chatting with the Empress Dowager for so long, she never left the national teacher. It seems that the Empress Dowager has an affair with the national teacher.
Ye Xiaoxian hurriedly replied, "yes, I have lived in the imperial master's house for some days. I seldom see the imperial master. The imperial master suddenly called me a few days ago and said that my husband has done meritorious deeds many times, so I rewarded my servant with some money."
After a moment of silence, the Empress Dowager asked, "what do you think of the national teacher?"
At this time, if ye Xiaoxian didn't know the Empress Dowager's mind, she would be extremely stupid.
She hurriedly replied, "the national master is a man... There is a city government. I don't know much about him, but I think he should be a good elder."
The Empress Dowager sneered: "hum, he has put you under house arrest. Are you still a good elder?"
"Maybe he's also for the country. Slaves don't know much about the imperial court." Ye Xiaoxian said.
The Empress Dowager was finally not so angry.
However, she still meant to let Ye Xiaoxian go back.
She still looked at Ye Xiaoxian up and down, and then said, "you're really smart."
"The Empress Dowager flattered me."
"I'm looking at you now. It's a little like when I was young. I think, anyway, this is the fate given to us by God. Why don't you stay tonight, have dinner with me, and then stay with me in the palace for a few days?"
Ye Xiaoxian naturally didn't want to. The palace was gorgeous, but it was like a big cage, with clear grades and rules everywhere.
She subconsciously said, "but my friend is still at the National Teacher's house. If I don't go back, she will worry."
"Don't worry. The mourning family sent someone to send a message to your friend, saying you had a good time here and won't go back for the time being."
Ye Xiaoxian: "
……
The Empress Dowager wanted to send a message to Jin Xiaoyu. Naturally, the message was first sent to the national teacher and then conveyed by the national teacher.
When the National Master heard that the Empress Dowager had detained Ye Xiaoxian, he immediately panicked.
Will the leaf's secret be lost?
Or has the queen mother discovered the secret?
He couldn't enter the palace at this time. He had to wait until the next day to find the Empress Dowager.
……
Ye Xiaoxian lives in the Empress Dowager's bedroom. She just doesn't feel used to it.
In addition to chatting with her in the front hall for some time, the Empress Dowager ignored her at other times. She also sent her to the side room and let her live alone. During this period, in addition to sending people to deliver water and rice, she let her stay in the house by herself.
She hasn't been so uncomfortable after being trapped in the National Teacher's residence for so long.
Maybe it's because Jin Xiaoyu isn't here and doesn't even have a speaker, so she's very upset now.
However, what can she do? She can't leave the palace without permission.
She had to stay in the house, take a bath in the evening, and then lie in bed.
That night, she missed Xiao Baoshan very much. She had never missed him so much.
……
After a sleepy night, she woke up early the next day.
When she woke up, someone waited on her to wash.
She asked the people who came to serve: "did the Empress Dowager say when I can leave the palace?"
The servant immediately scolded her: "how can we directly call the empress dowager, but we should call her empress dowager."
Ye Xiaoxian had to ask again, "did the Empress Dowager say when I can leave the palace?"
"The empress didn't say, just wait."
Ye Xiaoxian: "
After breakfast, she was so idle that she had to go for a walk in the garden.
Fortunately, the maid outside didn't care about her. She looked around and saw which flower was beautiful, so she stayed on which flower.
The flowers in the palace have been carefully planted. Even an ordinary rose is much larger than those outside.
Ye Xiaoxian stopped in front of a pink rose and saw a bee picking honey. She couldn't help staring at the bee.
This scene happened to be seen by the Empress Dowager in the front hall.
When the Empress Dowager saw Ye Xiaoxian watching bees collecting honey, she couldn't help thinking of her youth.
She was a young lady of a large family in the south of the Yangtze River. When she first met the national teacher, she was deceived by the National Teacher's sweet words. She fell in love with him unknowingly and met him privately later.
There is a flower pool in the tryst. There are beautiful roses. When he is on business, she watches roses in the flower pool and likes to watch bees collect honey.
The national teacher said that she looked at the flowers very beautiful, like a fairy coming down to earth.
The Empress Dowager thought again that Mrs. Xiao also likes to stare at the flowers, which is similar to her. Did the national teacher praise that Mrs. Xiao looks like a fairy?
The Empress Dowager was a little angry when she thought of this.
Hum, what is it to wear the clothes she likes and do the same actions as her instead of imitating her?
The goblin must have heard about her and the national teacher, so it can be imitated.
I have a deep mind. Yesterday, I stressed that I didn't meet the national teacher much and called the national teacher an elder.
Isn't it obvious that a person under house arrest says he doesn't understand government?
The Empress Dowager's impression of Ye Xiaoxian is even worse.
Originally, she wanted to ask Ye Xiaoxian to have lunch together. Now she won't call. Let Ye Xiaoxian eat a little. She'll be fine if she's hungry.
……
In the afternoon, the national teacher finally withdrew from the court.
As soon as he left the court, he hurried to the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
He always came to the Empress Dowager's bedroom and somehow knew to avoid suspicion. Now he was too lazy to avoid suspicion. He had to find the Empress Dowager as soon as he came.
Ye Xiaoxian was just in the garden. She was stunned when she saw the national teacher coming.
According to her understanding of ancient times, officials can't come to the back palace unless they have a daughter to be a concubine in the palace, but it also depends on the time. They don't come whenever they want.
But the national master unexpectedly broke in so carelessly, and ye Xiaoxian keenly felt that there must be something wrong with the two people.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother imprisoned her here because she was jealous.
Ye Xiaoxian pretended not to see the national teacher. She just sat in a flower bush and listened carefully to the movement at the other end.
When the Empress Dowager saw the national teacher coming, she couldn't help saying, "Oh, what's the hurry today?"
The national teacher expected to see the Empress Dowager.
If the Empress Dowager gets angry and accuses, it is that she knows the truth. She will lose her temper and blame him for lying to her. It is clear that ye Xiaoxian is their daughter, but he says there is no red mole behind her.
She was so eager to see her daughter that she might not want to talk to him.
But the Empress Dowager was not angry. Instead, she looked like a little woman jealous. It seemed that she had not found the truth.
The national teacher said, "did you leave Mrs. Xiao in the palace?"
"Yes, doesn't Mrs. Xiao look like AI family? The AI family saw her yesterday and felt very congenial, so they left her and asked her to accompany AI family for a few days. Why, you're in a hurry? Mrs. Xiao is not your person. What's your hurry?"
The national master quickly coaxed the Empress Dowager: "you know she is the wife of xiaobaoshan. Your majesty and I are going to threaten xiaobaoshan with her and let xiaobaoshan eradicate Yan Ziyan, and then..."
"Then leave Xiao Baoshan in the capital and slowly weaken his official position. When it comes to his place in the future, let him take command again!" Empress Dowager.
The national teacher said, "since you all know, you should know that Mrs. Xiao is very important to us. If she has any mistakes..."
"What can she do in the palace? Can the mourning family beat her or abuse her?" Asked the Empress Dowager.
"Of course not. It means... She's not in the Imperial College. I'm worried. If someone saves her or she escapes, we'll lose our advantage."
"This is the palace. She can't fly out with wings!"
Seeing the Empress Dowager's iron heart, the national teacher changed her attitude, He smiled and coaxed the Empress Dowager: "well behaved, if you want to relieve your boredom, I'll collect some fun toys for you, or pick some clever palace maids for you. Don't you like raising small animals? I asked someone to send you some local puppies from Persia, hairy ones, so that you can raise ten or eight?"
