Empress Dowager Guide

Chapter 117
Hearing the Queen Mother calling for someone, Lian Qiao ran in hastily. She had just gone looking for Cui Yun for a long time but couldn't find it. She had just returned to the main tent before she had time to catch her breath, and said out of breath, "What is the Queen Mother's order?" ?”

"You go to Cui Yun and ask her to arrange an audience with Xia Xiancheng."

Lianqiao: I'm really crying to death... Just now she was looking for Ms. Cui, why was she called back and went to Ms. Cui?
Lian Qiao turned and left without tears, when she heard the sound of the curtain being lifted behind her feet, she poked her head out looking forward to see if Officer Cui had returned by herself, but was disappointed to find that the person in front of her was not the same as Officer Cui Half of the resemblance, but on closer inspection, the person who came was actually Liu Xiaochun, the eunuch newly appointed by the previous eunuch.

"Liu Dajian, why are you here?"

Don't look at Liu Xiaochun's very young name and young age, but he is very sophisticated in his handling of things. Since he entered the Palace of Eternal Light from the Internal Guard, everyone in the Palace of Eternal Light has been full of praise for him. Even Sheng Shaoqing didn't know when. Noticed this guy.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager had nothing to say, Liu Xiaochun changed his tone and said in a relaxed tone, "It's almost lunch time, I'm here to see if the Empress Dowager has any special orders. Your Majesty and He Bandu will go hunting with Lord Lin this morning. I bought a rabbit, and I am about to present it to the Queen Mother!"

"what?"

"He actually went hunting?!"

Liu Xiaochun originally thought it was to show his majesty's filial piety, but he didn't expect that this would offend the empress dowager. While twitching his mouth in his heart, he smoothed things over for Yuan Che, "Your Majesty I also want to be filial, and with Lord Lin around, nothing will happen to Your Majesty."

"It's too late!"

Sheng Shaoqing kept telling himself in his heart that it was normal for children to be playful, don't be angry, don't be angry, and after a while, he calmed down and said, "Then where is he now?"

Liu Xiaochun saw that the Empress Dowager's tone was much more relaxed, so she was slightly relieved and said, "Your Majesty has returned, you should change clothes in the tent now, and you are going to have lunch with the Empress Dowager."

"In a while, you go and call He Bandu over to have dinner together."

Liu Xiaochun let out an "Ai", sweated for His Majesty and He Bandu, and silently backed out.

Liu Xiaochun withdrew, Lian Qiao also went out to look for Cui Yun, and Ah Ning must have gone to prepare lunch. Seeing that there was no one in the tent, Sheng Shaoqing asked the system in embarrassment, "Um, do you have any experience in raising children? Or manuals?" some type of?"

system:.
[Host, I know you are in a hurry, but don't worry. 】

"Can you hurry up!"

"If I was caught by my mother when I was young, I would definitely not be able to escape the beating. At that time, I thought, I must not become a violent person like my mother in the future, but look, I When I heard that Yuan Che actually ran out to hunt, I couldn't bear the evil fire!"

【Humans will always become what you hate, you have to learn to accept this. 】

Sheng Shaoqing:
"Is there really no way? Or a guide or something like that?"

【some. ], seeing Sheng Shaoqing choking speechlessly, the system decided to help her, 【However, let me give you a piece of advice, it’s not easy to understand on paper, but you have to do it yourself. 】

Sheng Shaoqing slandered, "You need to teach me this—bring it to you!"

The system had no choice but to throw all kinds of educational psychology and the characteristics of children of different ages in front of Sheng Shaoqing.

Sheng Shaoqing wailed, "Do you have a stream version?"

【No. 】

Sheng Shaoqing opened the first book, and before he saw the tenth line, his brain began to feel sleepy. Cui Yun's hurried footsteps from outside reached Sheng Shaoqing's ears like a sound of heaven.

System: Ask for trouble.

"Queen Mother, why are you looking for Weichen?"

Looking at Cui Yun's red eyes, Sheng Shaoqing thought that someone had bullied her, but as Cui Yun, who in the whole palace would dare to be disrespectful to Mistress Cui?
"Are you—?" Sheng Shaoqing asked, pointing to the red and swollen eye circles that Cui Yun tried to hide.

"It's okay——, I'm fine, I just ran away in a hurry, and was blinded by the wind and sand."

Sheng Shaoqing said speechlessly, "Do you all like to think of me as a fool? It just rained yesterday, how could there be so much sand in the wind? Besides, how can there be wind here today?"

When Cui Yun came in, the curtain immediately hung down and did not move. Where did the wind come from?
Cui Yun pursed her lips, and the circles of her eyes instantly became redder. When Lu Qingfeng was angry with her, she was not so wronged, but after being comforted by the Queen Mother, her tears could not be stopped no matter what.

Cui Yun's tears fell one by one, but her lips were bitten tightly and she refused to speak. Sheng Shaoqing knew that Cui Yun was a strong character, if she didn't want to speak, even if Sheng Shaoqing beat her to death, she would not speak.

"If you don't want to say it, that's all. I just have something else to ask you for."

"But forget about your current appearance, I'd better find Aning."

Cui Yun immediately wiped away the tears on her cheeks with her sleeves and said stubbornly, "I'm fine! The Queen Mother ordered it."

"Wei Chen is going!"

"I want to summon Xia Yuhuai, but if you're like this, people think I've done something to the Queen Mother's most favored officer, Cui."

Cui Yun was a little ashamed by Sheng Shaoqing's yin and yang aura, and blushed and said, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will wash my face first, and then I will invite Master Xia, so that outsiders will not be able to see it!"

"go Go."

Cui Yun trotted away and disappeared, Sheng Shaoqing looked at her fleeing figure, and thought to himself what's so good about Lu Qingfeng that Cui Yun could tolerate him like this, it's simply abominable!
After a while, Cui Yun turned back, and behind him was an old man who was a little older but still full of energy. He was wearing a green official uniform and walked forward with clogs.

Sheng Shaoqing saw that Cui Yun's face seemed to have been put on makeup again. As expected, even half of the tear stains could not be seen, and even the redness and swelling before had disappeared. , can the swelling go away so quickly? !

"Chen—Xia Yuhuai—meet—the queen mother! The queen mother—the empress—thousands—thousands—thousands!"

When Xia Yuhuai sang the salute, he played a leisurely tune, and after a few bows, he got up in the sound of Sheng Shaoqing's excuse.

"Master Xia has been waiting for a long time. It is really because I encountered some troubles yesterday that delayed the journey. Why did Xia Xiancheng come in person today?"

Xia Yuhuai replied respectfully, "The Empress Dowager and Your Majesty are in trouble in Xiayi's jurisdiction. As the Prime Minister of Xiayi County, I naturally want to help the Empress Dowager."

"Oh?" Sheng Shaoqing said amusedly, "That's really hard work for Xia Xiancheng."

"It's just—I don't seem to have sent anyone to Xiayi to report, so how did Xia Xiancheng know that I was delayed instead of passing Xiayi?"

Sheng Shaoqing asked unintentionally, as if it hit Xia Yuhuai's heart, Xia Yuhuai said with a faint smile, "This minister is also concerned about the safety of the royal family, the Queen Mother just arrived in Zhouzhi two days ago, and counting the days yesterday, I guess it will be almost Xiayi. But there is still no news, but if the Empress Dowager skips Xiayi and goes to Chenliu, that is also impossible."

"Why is this?"

Xia Yuhuai calmly said, "From Zhouzhi to Chenliu, the only road is the official road, not to mention the other small roads. It is often embarrassing to find that there is no way to go in the middle of the journey, so the queen mother will definitely pass by Xiayi And the imperial driver is slow, and it is impossible to leave Xiayi within two days, so Wei Chen deduced that the queen mother encountered some delays on the way, so she brought people to greet her, and also thought that she could help the queen mother One or two."

"Does that mean I have let down Lord Xia's good intentions?"

Xia Yuhuai even said he didn't dare, but the expression on his face obviously relaxed.

"It's a bit far from Xia Yi, and Xia County Cheng had a hard time traveling, so it happened to be—"

Sheng Shaoqing stared at Xia Yuhuai's clogs and said, "I just got a pair of clogs here, let me give them to Master Xia."

Sheng Shaoqing motioned to Aning, and Aning took out a pair of clogs from behind, and brought them in front of Master Xia.

Xia Yuhuai was a little confused by the stares, why did the Queen Mother... reward her with a pair of shoes?
"This………"

Xia Yuhuai hesitated and said, "I thank the Queen Mother for the reward, I... will enshrine these clogs when I get back, and guard the Buddha's protection day and night."

Sheng Shaoqing said with a smile, "It's just a pair of wooden clogs. You don't have to worry about insulting the Buddha's eyes when you offer them in front of the Buddha? Just put them on now."

Xia Yuhuai saw the empress dowager's smiling but unquestionable tone, and the maid named Aning who was beside the empress walking towards him firmly, suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

Aning said respectfully, "Lord Xia, the servant girl is here to help you change your clogs."

"Ah——no, no, no! How dare you work on Auntie! I will do it myself!"

Xia Yuhuai lifted up his official robe, took off his wooden clogs in embarrassment, and put on the wooden clogs bestowed by the Empress Dowager.

The pair of wooden clogs hidden under Xia Yuhuai's large official robes were covered with mud, and even the traces of stains could be seen on the official robes.

Aning carefully picked up the clogs that Xia Yuhuai had replaced, and put them in a place where Sheng Shaoqing could see them clearly, waiting for the Queen Mother to speak.

"Master Xia, what about your clogs?"

Looking at the extremely muddy clogs, Xia Yuhuai's face turned pale. Really, I forgot to clean the clogs!
no!He thought such a big skirt could cover the clogs!
Who would have thought that the Empress Dowager would reward clogs!

He is too far behind!

Xia Yuhuai laughed awkwardly, "It rained last night, and just now I was walking around in the camp and soiled the wooden clogs. It's really a disrespect for my minister... It stained the Queen Mother's holy eyes!"

Cui Yun wondered from the side, "Master Xia, are you right? It rained and muddy last night, but the sky has cleared up this morning and the ground has dried up. How could there be so much mud on your clogs?"

After finishing speaking, Cui Yun quietly lifted up a corner of his official robe, and looked at the colorful boots under his feet. After running so many times in the camp, these boots are still clean. dirty?
What's more, Xia Yuhuai has been waiting in Mr. Li's camp since he got off the carriage, why did he walk around in the camp?

The only possibility is that Master Xia is lying!
"I—I—, this—"

"Master Xia, you didn't get up and set off this morning, did you?"

"If what I said is right, you were already waiting by the official road yesterday, right?"

"Seeing that I was stopped and camped here again, I pretended to come here early this morning, right?"

Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Xia Yuhuai sighed and nodded, "It's all my fault...it's all my fault!"

Sheng Shaoqing waved his hand, and told all the idlers to retreat, leaving only a few close waiters to accompany him.

"Expand and talk?"

"The misfortune of the sky is really hard to resist!" Xia Yuhuai cried out in tears, "Queen! If you ignored the broken stones on the official road yesterday, I... I really have nothing to do!"

"I already know the origin of this stone. But this Chunshan Mountain is still far away from here. How come the county magistrate of Fengchun County doesn't care about it, but let you, the county magistrate of Xiayi County, sue?"

Xia Yuhuai calmed down and said, "Empress Dowager, although Chunshan is far away, the disaster is approaching. The county magistrate of Fengchun County is already a running dog of Tiancaihui. If I don't care about it, the people of Xiayi will become some kind of filth. You are now a member of the Sky Lottery Club!"

"The Sky Color Society used to only harm luxury and extravagance, but now it doesn't spare even ordinary people!"

The more Xia Yuhuai talked, the more excited he became, the veins on his forehead almost burst, "The people of Fengchun sell their sons and daughters just for that stone, the methods of Tiancaihui are horrific!!"

Sheng Shaoqing frowned and said, "But Fengchun has never reported such news?!"

"Queen Mother!"

"They are a nest of snakes and rats, and they are working together, how can they let the Queen Mother know such a dirty thing?!"

"Fengchun... how do I remember that it is the fiefdom of Qinghe Prince's Mansion?"

Xia Yuhuai nodded with tears in his eyes. Aning was a little ashamed of his tough attitude just now, so he took out his handkerchief and handed it to Xia Yuhuai.

Xia Yuhuai took the handkerchief and wiped away his tears, then said, "King Qinghe is addicted to this way, so he turns a blind eye to these little tricks, and some people even use the name of King Qinghe... say... ...the Sky Color Stone originally originated from Qinghe Prince's Mansion."

"Then what do you mean by throwing the Sky Color Stone on the official road?"

Xia Yuhuai said aggrievedly, "This minister is also scared..."

"In the past, there was a censor who came down to inspect, and the minister reported these things to him. Does the Queen Mother know what he said?"

Sheng Shaoqing shook his head, waiting for Xia Yuhuai to add.

Xia Yuhuai flinched and glanced at Sheng Shaoqing and said, "They said that the empress dowager liked this kind of bonsai the most in the palace, and the empress dowager even wrote an inscription for the president of the Tiancaihui...so..."

"Don't you believe me?" Sheng Shaoqing asked helplessly. Isn't this a typical wechat business routine, using the name of having dinner with a big boss or shaking hands? Her boss is really well versed in this way!

The group photo of shaking hands with *** in the company is still hanging in the lobby to flaunt it?
Xia Yuhuai shook his head again and again and said, "I don't believe that censor, but for the sake of safety, I can only do this. If the Queen Mother fails to find out about this, I..."

Xia Yuhuai thought of his tortuous half life, and sighed, "I can only accept my fate."
