C162 imperial decree

"It's all your servant's fault for not taking good care of wangfei." Regardless of whether there was water on the ground or not, Mo Li kneeled down.

"I'll deal with you later." Luo Qingqi said bitterly, but it was only to say that, if he dared to settle the debt with Caragana in the future, Qingluo might come to settle the debt with him, and that would be letting him off easy.

While Luo Qingqi was speaking, he had already pulled Qingluo out of the water, wrapped her up with a large towel and directly carried her onto the bed.

Mo Li grabbed a cloth and followed her to the bedside. Luo Qingqi placed Qing Luo's body on the bed and covered her with the blanket.

He also changed it into a dry cloth and wrapped it around himself. Only then did Luo Qingqi put Qing Luo on the pillow and covered her with the blanket.

However, because she felt uncomfortable, Qing Luo turned her body, twisted a little, and found a more comfortable position to sleep in, Luo Qingqi could not help but sigh.

After smoothing a few strands of hair on her head, she realized that she was still a child. However, she had to run all over the place for her own sake. If it was just because she was tired for this day, she definitely wouldn't be in this state.

She had always felt lighter because she had been exhausted a while ago. Today was a smooth day, and the moment she relaxed, her entire body dispersed.

On one side, the Charity Hall was moving smoothly, but on the other side, some people were gnashing their teeth in anger.

"It's such a big matter, but you guys only found out after they opened their doors. I've raised you guys for nothing in the past, you're just a bunch of trash. All of you are quite spirited when you have nothing better to do, look at your cowardly appearances."

The empress pointed at the two men kneeling in front of her, trembling with rage. She was still thinking that if Seventh Brother's wangfei married into the family, she could coax him a little.

If Ol 'Seven had pampered her, then even if he had picked her up, he would still be a useful chess piece. Who would have thought that before he could coax her, the other side would have already been taken away.

"Let's not talk about the Charity Hall now, there's actually no one of us inside. Tell me what you guys usually do, it's practically angering me to death, not a single one of us is useful at critical moments."

The empress felt that she had been tricked. That little girl must have known that she was trying to rope her in, or else she wouldn't have been so wary of her that she wouldn't have heard a word of it.

But how could the empress be willing? "Just you wait. This matter isn't over yet, I definitely won't let it go."

Early the next morning, the Prince Yi's Mansion received the Queen's order to summon the Princess Yi to the palace. "Empress, what are you doing? The Charity Hall opened yesterday, so I'm afraid there's nothing good going on."

Qingluo had slept early yesterday, but was in high spirits when she woke up today. Just as she was about to clean up and head to Charity Hall, the Queen's imperial decree arrived.

"What else could it be? The benefits of Charity Hall are obvious, even the Queen knows about it. I just didn't expect her to move so fast."

"I thought she would be able to continue observing for at least a month or two before making her move. I really didn't expect her to be so anxious. It looks like some people can't hold it in any longer."

Luo Qingqi's mind was analyzing the situation, but Qing Luo was thinking about how to respond, "Qing Wen, what do you think the Queen would say if she told me to go, is it that she wants to interfere, or that she wants the Charity Hall to disband? How do I answer her? "

What was this child's language? Luo Qingqi was immediately interrupted by Qingluo, "And disband? What are you thinking about in your head? It's easy to build it up, but not easy to break it apart. "

"There are so many poor commoners, it's not easy to find a place to help them. If this Charity Hall dares to stop now, it will be very lively."

"Even if the people do not fight, the imperial court will not be able to take any action. The word of the people is the word of mouth, whoever dares to harm their interests will have to pay the price. The empress would not dare to take such a risk if she wants to fight for her son's sake."

"You're right. In other words, the empress wants to butt in. Tell me, will she come herself or will she send someone else over?"

"It doesn't matter who comes. Donations are always accepted, so we can't talk about them if we have to place people in there. We've already arranged everything and they're all from different families. Smart servants, there aren't any seats available right now."

"If there's anyone you're not used to, tell the empress when you need to switch them. If she doesn't stop, say that you told me about it, and I'm the one who got all the ideas."

"If the empress really wants someone to come in, then you have to come back and discuss it with me." If the empress really wants someone to come in, then you have to come back and discuss it with me.

This was a good way to make excuses. At this time, Qingluo had already put on her clothes and was gallantly heading to the palace.

"Greetings, Queen!" When they arrived at the Kunning Palace, it was still the same Violet Vine that came out personally to receive them. However, this time, Qingluo was quite confident and lacked the nervousness she had last time.

The empress had no choice but to nod inwardly to Seventh Brother's daughter-in-law's etiquette. The palace was the place with the most etiquette, but no one could have done it so well and meticulously.

When paired with Princess Yi's red makeup, she looked indescribably elegant and generous. "Quickly get up, look at Qingluo, you're being too polite, you're not an outsider."

The empress wanted to help Qingluo up before the ceremony was over and let her remember her magnanimity. Although the palace maid was already in the past, Qingluo insisted on performing a full ceremony before she got up. The empress frowned inwardly.

"Come, come and sit here." When the empress saw that Qingluo had finished her ceremony and sat on the chair next to her, she quickly pointed to the chair closest to her and asked her to sit.

Qingluo wasn't being hypocritical. There were some things that needed to be done, but it would be easier to see the light after that. "Thank you, empress!" Qingluo bowed again before sitting close to him.

"I'm not summoning you, so why don't you tell me about it? During the fifth day, I was the one who took the initiative to go over to mother's place before seeing you."

These words were not easy to answer, so Qingluo could only avoid them. "There are many rules and regulations in the Imperial Palace, and Qingluo is not from a distinguished noble family. She knows very little about etiquette."

"I was just afraid that if I wasn't careful and messed up some etiquette, I wouldn't dare to enter the palace. Even if the empress were to call me over, Qingluo would still be extremely nervous."

No matter what, he had to find an excuse to get rid of his guilt. If the empress were to point out to him that he was a nobody from a small family, it wouldn't be weird if he didn't know anything.

In addition, even if there had been a small mistake, the background of a small fry was worth forgiving. If she had to blame him, then if she hadn't summoned him to the palace, then there wouldn't have been any mistake. Even if the trouble had been caused by the empress herself, she wouldn't have been able to escape responsibility.

"It would be fine if others were to say that. However, if Qingluo doesn't know etiquette, then it would be too modest. I'm afraid there's no one who knows etiquette better than you among these royal relatives."

Although the empress did not try to find Qing Luo's fault for the etiquette, she did not want to let him get away with it so easily.

"The empress is too kind, only the empress has the demeanor of a magnanimous person. No one would believe her words, if they were put in the outside world. As a child who grew up in Weir Prefecture, who would teach manners?"

"I just hope that I won't make a mistake and let the empress see a joke."

The empress couldn't help but feel stifled in her heart. This Zheng Qingluo really knew how to find excuses for herself. Just a single joke was enough to make her unable to find fault with her.

In terms of etiquette, she was really ungenerous. Everyone knew that she had come from a small place or that her parents did not like her, so it was natural for etiquette to be lacking.

"From what you're saying, it seems like the reason why I summoned you to the palace was to find out your fault. We're sister-in-law by blood, and apart from our master, we're probably the closest ones to each other." The empress didn't want to keep her words, she still had other things to beg Princess Yi for.

"With the empress's words, Qingluo is relieved. In this palace, with the empress's backing, I'm not going to walk with my back to the wall. I'm no longer afraid of people getting in my way. I'm finally at ease."

No longer afraid … These words made the Queen feel uncomfortable. Last time, she had only used it for a small purpose, and it could not be considered as a hindrance. This Princess Yi's mouth was too sharp.

The empress fixed her eyes on Qingluo's face. She really didn't view Qingluo as an opponent, but now she suddenly realized that she didn't understand this little girl at all, and she wasn't as simple as she looked.

He only heard her speak and easily bypassed the trap he set for her. Furthermore, she even tried to wake him up with her words. How was this a teenage girl? She was just like a sly old fox. He had to be careful not to fall into her trap.

"Qingluo, I heard that you set up a Charity Hall together with Grand Princess Ning Yuan, the An Kingdom's Madam Hou, and the Great Lady Temple. Is this true?"

The empress decided not to beat around the bush. It might be better to get straight to the point. After a while, it might be possible that the person who set the trap for the last person would fall for it.

"Esteemed Empress, you're really well-informed. Isn't it just opening a Charity Hall? Do you still remember that at the national banquet, the An Nation's Madam Hou had an illness, so I had to treat it for him?"

"At that time, I was a bit too impatient. I only knew about indigowoad root, Bai Zhi, and dandelion, these common medicinal herbs, and I thought I could save people. My guts are a bit too big."

Thank god nothing happened to Madam Hou, otherwise, my crime would have been huge. When Madam Hou woke up, he would have sighed and said that he had escaped this calamity, and I would also sigh and say that he had escaped this calamity.
