I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Chapter 230 The Queen Mother
Fang Xiu asked back, "What's wrong?"

Wu Mingkong said: "This is a family banquet, what do you look like in an official robe?"

Hearing this, Fang Xiu was powerless to refute for a while.

at this time.

Wu Mingkong looked at Lin Wan'er who was at the side, and ordered: "Go and fetch that brocade robe."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lin Wan'er saluted, turned and left, and a moment later brought back a set of exquisite and elegant brocade robes, and presented them with both hands.

"Take off your clothes."

Wu Mingkong walked up to Fang Xiu and said solemnly.

Although it sounded a bit strange, Fang Xiu obediently took off the crimson official robe on his body, leaving only the pure white inner lining.

Wu Mingkong looked him up and down, his beautiful peach blossom pupils were sparkling.

Stretched out a slender hand, poked his lower abdomen, and said with a light smile: "I didn't pay attention on weekdays, Fang Xiang's figure is pretty good."

"."

Fang Xiu was silent for a while, then took a step back suddenly, bowed solemnly, and said solemnly: "I am a man with a family, please respect yourself, Your Majesty!"

[Emotion value +2000]

When Wu Mingkong heard the word "family", he thought of Li Yaoyue inexplicably, and was a little unhappy.

However, seeing Fang Xiu's handsome and cold face, some messy images could not help appearing in his mind.

A string in my heart suddenly plucked again.

A smile appeared between her brows and eyes, and she moved lightly with lotus steps, and came in front of Fang Xiu.

Standing on tiptoe, he lifted Fang Xiu's chin with his slender fingers, and said frivolously, "So what if you have a family, I like it just the same."

It's pretty crazy to play.

Fang Xiu looked at the little empress in front of him, pretending to be afraid, backed away again, and said, "Your Majesty, don't do this."

It was the first time for Wu Mingkong to see him showing a look of panic and anxiety. Although it was just a disguise, he still felt extremely excited.

In a trance, it seems that my dream has come true.

Step on the lofty Fang Xiang under your feet and hold it in your hand!
She pressed on step by step, the smile on her brows grew stronger, and she said in a slightly coquettish voice: "Don't struggle, stay with me tonight."

aside.

Seeing this scene, Lin Wan'er's expression became a little strange, and she thought that since she was with Fang Xiang, His Majesty has become less and less serious.

"Cough cough."

The little maid clenched her fist, coughed twice, and then reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's getting late."

In another hour, there will be a dinner to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday.

If Fang Xiang and His Majesty get stuck together, at least it will take more than half an hour. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if they missed the important thing?

Hearing the little maid's reminder, Wu Mingkong came back to his senses, a blush appeared on his pretty face, he looked at Fang Xiu, and said angrily, "It's all you, you're not serious every day."

Fang Xiu was dumbfounded, and wanted to say, didn't you molested the minister first.

On second thought, that's all, one more thing is worse than one less thing, let her say what she wants.

Seeing that Fang Xiu didn't refute, Wu Mingkong was inexplicably happy, and gave Lin Wan'er a wink.

Lin Wan'er understood immediately, and sent the brocade robe to the little empress.

After the little empress reached out to take it, she imitated Fang Xiu's body.

Wu Mingkong, who was loved by thousands of people since he was a child, couldn't even wear clothes himself, so how could he put clothes on Fang Xiu.

He even tried several times but failed, so he just tossed the brocade robe and hummed: "I have already wrapped the clothes for you, won't you wear them yourself?"

Fang Xiu looked at the pouting little empress, with a smile on his face, put on the brocade robe, kissed the empress's white forehead lightly, and said softly: "Your Majesty changed your clothes for me, I am very grateful. "

When Wu Mingkong heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he quickly hid it, just snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Whoever changed your clothes for you is just being sentimental."

Saying that, he picked up the belt inlaid with white jade and wrapped it around Fang Xiu's waist.

A set of brocade robes is neatly dressed.

The little empress took two steps back, sized Fang Xiu up and down with her beautiful peach eyes, a satisfied smile appeared on her fair face, she nodded slightly, and said, "Not bad, it fits pretty well."

Fang Xiu noticed Wu Mingkong's eyes, suddenly realized something, and looked down at the brocade robe on his body.

The gorgeous brocade robe has a magnificent and colorful appearance, with exquisite and elegant patterns, and golden waistlines on both sides. Although the needlework is a bit rough, the embroidered crane pattern looks lifelike.

Obviously, the embroiderers put a lot of effort into it.

"Your Majesty, who embroidered the pattern on this brocade robe?"

Fang Xiu looked at Wu Mingkong with a straight face, and asked in a blunt tone.

Wu Mingkong was slightly taken aback, and asked, "What? Isn't it pretty?"

Fang Xiu didn't answer, but just repeated the question.

Seeing this, Wu Mingkong felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't answer, and continued to ask questions.

This time, Fang Xiu finally replied:

"Before this, I have never seen such lifelike embroidery. This crane is worn on my body, and I still have to worry about it getting out of the brocade robe and flying back to the fairy world."

"There is also this fine needlework, and the fit waist. If I let the minister know who made this brocade robe, I must abduct her home and let her make clothes for the rest of my life."

To hear such pompous admiration.

Wu Mingkong immediately realized that Fang Xiu had already guessed that the pattern on the brocade robe was embroidered by herself.

I was overjoyed, and a blush appeared on my fair face.

Turning her face away, she muttered in a low voice, "Who will make clothes for you forever."

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, a warm current surged in his heart, he stepped forward and embraced the little empress, and said softly, "How can I be so honorable that your Majesty favors me so much?"

Wu Mingkong snuggled into his arms, humming and chirping, "You didn't say that a year ago."

"At that time, I didn't know His Majesty's goodness."

Fang Xiu chuckled and coaxed softly.

Wu Mingkong's delicate face flushed slightly, he didn't speak any more, just snuggled into his arms quietly.

Fang Xiu hugged her waist, thinking that the Empress Dowager, who used to be non-human, would one day embroider with her own hands. He couldn't help feeling distressed, and said softly:

"Your Majesty has such a heart, and I am satisfied. It is better to leave such delicate work to the maids of the Shangyi Bureau next time."

Wu Mingkong raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said with some pride: "It's easy for me to learn female red, don't look at the lifelike crane embroidery, it only took me three months."

aside.

Lin Wan'er's pretty face turned red when she heard this, and finally she couldn't hold back, and said, "Three months is only time for embroidery. Half a year ago, Your Majesty started learning female reds, although I only use one or two sticks of incense every day." There is a lot of time to practice, but it is like this every day, rain or shine.”

Half a year ago, it was probably the day when he and Li Yaoyue got married.

Fang Xiu was slightly dazed, and held the right hand of the little empress, there were a few small pinholes faintly visible on it, and felt even more distressed, and held her tightly in his arms.

Feeling the hot embrace, Wu Mingkong blushed slightly, and said in a low voice, "The number of memorials sent by Shang Shusheng is getting less and less. Since I have nothing to do, I only think about embroidery."

"You don't need to explain. Your Majesty understands what your majesty thinks of me."

Hearing this, Wu Mingkong raised his eyes to look at Fang Xiu, and saw that his brows were a little smug, and suddenly felt that this wave of his was a bit vain, and hummed: "I embroidered for you, and you have to do something for me too." .”

Fang Xiudao: "The minister is ready to lay down thousands of miles of rivers and mountains for His Majesty."

He said this with great confidence, as if to him, conquering thousands of miles of rivers and mountains was just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning.

Wu Mingkong was slightly taken aback, and swallowed back what he wanted to say.

She believed that Fang Xiu had this ability.

I also believe that Fang Xiu will do what he says.

What is more precious than thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the world?
Can't seem to find it.

At this moment, Wu Mingkong suddenly felt that what he had been working on for half a year was nothing compared to what Fang Xiu wanted to give her.

Because of this, I feel that my contribution is worthwhile.

Just a brocade robe embroidered with cranes can be exchanged for thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. There is no better deal in the world than this.

Thinking of this.

A smile appeared on Wu Mingkong's exquisite face, and he wrapped his arms around Fang Xiu's waist with his backhand.

The two rubbed their ears together for a while.

Lin Wan'er on the side reminded: "Your Majesty, it's getting late."

Wu Mingkong, who was disturbed, had an angry look on his pretty face, and glared at the little maid.

Obviously there is still half an hour until the dinner party.

The little girl reminded, it's not over yet.

Seeing this, the little maid hurriedly lowered her head, looking aggrieved, and said in her heart:

Reminder, you will be stared at by His Majesty.

If you don't remind me, I'm afraid that His Majesty will miss the hour.

It's hard to be a maid, but it's even harder to be His Majesty's personal maid, woo woo woo
At this time, Fang Xiu asked curiously: "Who did the Queen Mother invite to the family banquet tonight?"

Wu Mingkong replied: "There is the uncle of the country, the eldest princess, and several princesses from the sidelines."

Fang Xiu nodded, thinking, it was indeed a family banquet, and only a few relatives of the emperor who were close to the Queen Mother, civil and military officials were invited, and none were invited.

"By the way, have you received your congratulatory gift?"

Wu Mingkong looked at Fang Xiu and asked.

Fang Xiudao: "Naturally."

Saying that, he took out the exquisite wooden box from his arms.

Wu Mingkong was still a little curious about what was in the wooden box.

But thinking that he didn't say it last time, he probably won't tell himself this time either.

So, she nodded and said: "You and I will go to the Yongshou Palace to pay respects to your mother first, give you a congratulatory gift, and then attend the dinner together."

"The minister obeys the order."

Fang Xiu stuffed the wooden box back into his bosom, and saluted respectfully.

Seeing this, Wu Mingkong gave him a supercilious look, and walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation without saying anything.

Fang Xiu followed closely behind.

The two talked and laughed all the way, and came to a luxurious palace.

Seeing the empress and Fang Xiu, the palace maid hurriedly saluted:

"See Your Majesty."

"Meet Fang Xiang."

Wu Mingkong waved his hand to signal his excuse, and asked, "Where is the Queen Mother?"

The palace lady hastily replied: "Rest in the main hall."

Wu Mingkong nodded, walked in, came to the main hall door, stopped, and raised his voice: "I beg to see the Queen Mother."

After the emperor ascended the throne, he still called himself a minister in front of the queen mother or the emperor, which was the rule of Daqian.

Fang Xiu imitated the example: "Fang Xiu, my minister, please see the Queen Mother."

The voice fell.

A soft voice came from the room: "Yes."

Wu Mingkong heard the voice and walked in.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu followed.

The main hall of Yongshou Palace is not much different from the Hall of Mental Cultivation in its furnishings.

Just more rustic.

Three or four court ladies stood upright at the same spot, and when they saw Fang Xiu and Wu Mingkong coming in, they saluted one after another.

"Mother, my son brought Fang Xiu to see you."

Wu Mingkong walked up to him, stretched out his slender Zooey, and embraced the Empress Dowager's arm, showing the tenderness of a girl on her face.

Obviously.

Although the queen mother lived in seclusion, the little empress still maintained a good relationship with her, and she didn't act too unfamiliar.

Before stopping at the door, it was just etiquette.

"You are Fang Xiu?"

"Sure enough, you are a good-looking talent, no wonder Mingkong likes you so much."

A soft and clear voice sounded slowly.

Fang Xiu raised his eyes to look at the Queen Mother, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

In front of him was the queen mother who was held by the little empress.

She has long black hair, curved eyebrows, a straight Qiong nose, cherry-like red lips, warm peach blossom eyes and a crystal-clear face.

Maybe it's because of living in seclusion for a long time, and paying attention to health preservation on weekdays.

The empress dowager's skin was as ice as snow, and compared to the little empress beside her, she was only slightly inferior.

Walking on the road, if no one told her that she was the queen mother, Fang Xiu would have thought she was the empress' sister.

"It's no wonder that the little empress was born so beautiful. It turns out that she inherited the empress dowager's excellent genes."

Fang Xiu thought so, bowed and saluted, and replied: "The empress dowager praises it so much, the minister is terrified."

"In the past six months, Mingkong came to this palace and often mentioned your name."

"You are not only the head of all officials, but also Mingkong's right-hand man."

"The late Emperor passed away so suddenly, if it weren't for you, she might not be able to control all the officials by herself, and the court would inevitably be in turmoil for a while."

"After much deliberation, I thought that it would not be an exaggeration to say that you are Ming Kong's relatives, so I added your name to the banquet list."

The queen mother looked at Fang Xiu in front of her, and said slowly in a gentle voice.

Hearing this, Fang Xiu thought to himself: This minister is not only His Majesty's right-hand man, but also His Majesty's father-in-law. It stands to reason that we are of the same generation.

Thinking this way in his heart, his face showed a solemn look, and he replied: "It is the duty of a courtier to do his best for His Majesty. I just did what I should have done."

The little empress curled her lips when she heard the high-sounding words, and said in her heart: You did what you should do, and you didn't miss any of what you shouldn't do.

When the Queen Mother heard this, a smile appeared between her brows and she said gently: "When the late Emperor was alive, he mentioned you to me, saying that you are a piece of rough jade, and you will become a great talent in time. Now it seems that you have lived up to the late Emperor's respect for you. your expectations."

These words sounded like Fang Xiu's praise, but they actually contained deep meaning.

Remind Fang Xiu openly and secretly to remember the kindness of the late emperor Bole.

For the empress dowager who lived in seclusion, if she wanted to do something for the little empress, the only way she could do it was to play the card of the former emperor's affection.

Fang Xiu naturally understood the meaning, saluted again, and said respectfully: "The kindness of the late emperor, I have always kept it in my heart, and I dare not forget it."

Seeing this scene, the little empress thought for a while, looked at Fang Xiu, and said, "Fang Xiu, what about the congratulatory gift you prepared, show it to the queen mother."
