Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 233
If it is said that Huo Mingzhu followed Baili Jingqi out of the palace and wandered on the street, but no one can tell, but Huo Huaiyu, a girl who has never reached Ji, walks alone on the street with Baili Zonglu, this is unreasonable Huo Mingzhu really wanted to know what he would do if Huo Zhengde heard rumors about this matter that were bad for Huo Huaiyu.

"Jing Qi is in great interest."

"I've seen Uncle Wang, Jing Qi just came out to look for gifts for the Empress Dowager's birthday, could it be that Uncle Wang and Miss Huo also came out for the Empress Dowager's gift?" Baili Jingqi asked seriously.

Huo Mingzhu was speechless, how stupid Baili Jingqi was to ask such a question.

But Baili Zonglu nodded and said: "Jing Qi guessed right, this king also asked Huaiyu for this matter."

Baili Jingqi looked like I knew it, and Huo Mingzhu had no choice but to stand aside and pretend to be dumb, not saying a word.

It's just that Huo Mingzhu doesn't speak, it doesn't mean that other people don't speak, especially Huo Huaiyu, who is proud of the spring breeze at the moment, she couldn't see the remorse and sadness on Huo Mingzhu's face before, how could she let Huo Mingzhu go so easily.

So she said to Huo Mingzhu: "Sister, it turns out that what you said is true, you really came out with the prince, just now the prince asked you, I thought you were here to lie to us."

Huo Mingzhu said lightly: "I don't know, how can I lie about this matter."

Baili Zonglu also glanced at Huo Huaiyu.

Huo Huaiyu clearly saw the reproach in Baili Zonglu's eyes, she wanted to save some face, so she hurriedly said: "Sister, don't blame Yu'er for saying this, but the matter between you and the prince before, passed on There is a lot of uproar in the whole capital, and I am afraid it will affect the prince's choice of concubine in the future, Yu'er thinks it is too difficult for the prince, so she is worried that her sister will keep pestering the prince because of the past."

Huo Huaiyu's words made Baili Jingqi's face ugly, and although Baili Zonglu didn't appreciate Huo Huaiyu's words, he didn't stop him, but focused his attention on Huo Mingzhu's face.

Originally, Baili Zonglu thought that Huo Huaiyu's words would make her ashamed, but she didn't know, she just glanced at Huo Huaiyu lightly and said: "Yu'er, don't talk nonsense. Nothing else, how can it affect the prince's choice of concubine? If people listen to your words, they don't know what to think. Fortunately, the prince is here now. He knows that his sister is innocent, so he will definitely not care about what he said. But I can’t say any more.”

Huo Mingzhu acted like a sister, and taught Huo Huaiyu a lesson. Huo Huaiyu's face turned green and pale after being taught. She originally wanted to say that now that she is with Baili Zonglu, she hoped that Huo Mingzhu would not come to meddle again. It's just that this is inappropriate. She is a girl who has never been out of the cabinet, even the prince's concubine, she can't say this sentence, so she said that she should not affect the prince's choice of concubine. I didn't expect that this would also tell Huo Mingzhu. .

"Of course I won't argue with Yu'er." Baili Zonglu just said nothing, but now he came out to speak, Huo Mingzhu sneered in his heart, Huo Huaiyu dared to yell at her so blatantly, it was not the instruction of Baili Zonglu , Baili Zonglu is really insidious.

"That Mingzhu thanked the lord." Huo Mingzhu said generously.

"My lord..."

"Never heard what your sister said?" Huo Huaiyu wanted to say something, but Baili Zonglu stopped him, and Huo Huaiyu could feel Baili Zonglu's anger, although Baili Zonglu didn't show any anger appearance, but Huo Huaiyu knew that Baili Zonglu was angry.

Not only Huo Huaiyu knew, but Huo Mingzhu also knew, but she would no longer worry about his anger for the sake of the overall situation. She is the prince's person at the moment, and if Baili Zonglu wants to do something, she also has to worry about the prince.

And this His Royal Highness, who seems to have no influence, but can influence others at critical moments, said: "Uncle Wang, Jing Qi thought it was strange from the beginning, but after careful consideration, it turns out that Second Miss Huo is dedicated to Uncle Wang. Well, it's no wonder that Second Miss Huo even wants to talk about her own sister."

The prince's protection made Huo Mingzhu feel that things were getting more and more complicated, and Baili Jingqi came out to join in the fun.

But Baili Zonglu said with a smile: "Jing Qi is getting smarter and smarter, and he also understands the relationship between men and women. This king, as an uncle, seems to have to thank Miss Huo."

Huo Mingzhu fully felt Baili Zonglu's murderous intent towards her, she could only sigh in her heart, but remained silent.

Baili Jingqi seemed to blush at the sentence that he understood the relationship between men and women, and said to Baili Zonglu with an embarrassed face: "Uncle Wang, please don't laugh at Jingqi."

The meeting of these four people ended in the following conversation between you and me. Huo Mingzhu followed Baili Jingqi back to the palace. Before leaving, Huo Mingzhu clearly saw Baili Zonglu's eyes looking at her There is anger and murder in it.

Soon, the Queen Mother's birthday came to an end while everyone was busy. Among the Queen Mother's birthday gifts, the Queen Mother was most satisfied with the purple jade silkworm clothes sent by Baili Jingqi.

Huo Mingzhu couldn't figure it out, since Baili Jingqi knew that the empress dowager wanted the purple jade silkworm clothes, how could other people not know why the prince could get it so easily, did others think it was enough to get it? Empress Dowager Huanxin, thinking about it like this is extremely unreasonable, so Huo Mingzhu couldn't make any sense of it, so she just didn't think about it.

Because, next, the emperor has already taken the elixir she refined, and the effect is even better than that of Taoist Baimei. I am afraid that the emperor will do something in the near future.

It was as expected by Huo Mingzhu.

The emperor's action was faster than Huo Mingzhu expected. As soon as the queen mother's birthday passed, an imperial decree was sent to the queen mother's uterus, and the emperor wanted to make Huo Mingzhu a national teacher.

This news is very surprising. Although Huo Mingzhu is a noble daughter, she is a daughter after all, and she is still a candidate to become a princess in the future. Both the emperor and the queen mother have already agreed to this fact. At this time, the emperor named Huo Mingzhu Being a national teacher, not only the crown prince can't accept this matter, even the queen mother can't accept it.

After the edict, the queen mother appeared in the imperial study.

"Son, pay respects to the Queen Mother." Seeing the Queen Mother coming, the Emperor already understood in his heart that he was probably here for the sake of the national teacher.

The Queen Mother didn't hesitate, and said directly: "Your Majesty, why didn't you discuss this matter with Ai's family by awarding Jingqi's accompanying student as a national teacher?"

After all, the emperor still respects the queen mother, so he said kindly: "The queen mother doesn't know something. This girl from the Huo family is the first disciple of Taoist Baimei. The queen mother must be clear about Taoist Baimei's abilities. Compared with him, this girl from the Huo family is No less, I originally planned to designate Taoist Baimei as the national teacher, but Taoist Baimei was killed by an assassin, and he will sacrifice to heaven in a few days. The candidate for the national teacher has not been confirmed yet, so I thought of this girl. The identity of being a disciple of Taoist Baimei is enough to convince the world."

The queen mother saw that the emperor had premeditated it, and she was afraid that he had considered the matter of being a national teacher for a long time, but when she thought of Baili Jingqi again, the queen mother still felt that it was inappropriate: "If you want to say that this ability is fine, but this status does not match, Huo's girl is Jing Qi's accompanying student, and she will be the candidate for the crown princess in the future, which makes her a national teacher, but it is inappropriate."

"Isn't there still someone to choose as an accompanying student? Choose Jing Qi again. Or is it that the queen mother thinks that the common people in this world are not as important as Jing Qi? They will sacrifice to the heavens soon." The emperor's tone was filled with disbelief. The taste of disobedience made the queen mother secretly dissatisfied with Huo Mingzhu.

I feel that Huo Mingzhu is not a law-abiding person. If she only finds out after becoming a princess, it is better to stop Jing Qi's thoughts now.

Thinking of this, the empress dowager didn't say anything to the emperor, she just said: "Let the Ai family talk about Jingqi."

Seeing that the Empress Dowager not only did not stop, but wanted to help, the Emperor readily agreed: "Then I will trouble the Empress Dowager."

As expected by the Queen Mother, Baili Jingqi's face changed when the imperial decree came out.

Huo Mingzhu clearly sensed Baili Jingqi's unhappiness, he looked at Huo Mingzhu with those dim eyes and said: "That day you handed over the elixir to Father Emperor himself, I just expected such an incident today, ah Jin It can be seen that studying every day, with Ah Jin's company, Gu is very happy."

Huo Mingzhu remained silent. She really didn't know what to say, and there was no need to say anything. Her purpose was not this. Although she felt guilty towards Baili Jingqi, it was inconspicuous compared to the bloody feud. can be ignored.

Huo Mingzhu remained silent, Baili Jingqi didn't say much, but said to Huo Mingzhu: "If this is what you want, Gu can't stop you."

Huo Mingzhu was noncommittal to Baili Jingqi's words, thinking in her heart, even if Baili Jingqi wanted to stop it, she might not be able to. This world belongs to the emperor, and only gaining power from the emperor is power.

In the end, Huo Mingzhu just said to Baili Jingqi: "Mingzhu, thank you, His Royal Highness, for your kindness."

In the end, Baili Jingqi only took a deep look at Huo Mingzhu, but said nothing.

The Empress Dowager came very quickly, she didn't send someone to tell Baili Jingqi to go, but came to the Prince's palace in person, Huo Mingzhu knew in her heart that the Empress Dowager came for her, but she just pretended not to understand. Do whatever you want, with a calm appearance, even the queen mother has looked at Huo Mingzhu like this a few more times.

"The prince hasn't come to Renshou Palace to pay respects to Ai's family for many days, and Ai's family came here by himself, and said that the prince is in poor health. Seeing this, I am very relieved." The queen mother smiled lovingly at Baili Jingqi .

Baili Jingqi returned a faint smile, that smile seemed powerless: "Jing Qi is not filial, the Queen Mother should worry."

"The prince is the grandson of the Ai family, the Ai family is not worried about you, who are they worried about?" The queen mother said with a smile: "Come, come to the Ai family and see if you have gained weight or lost weight after not seeing you for a few days. "

Baili Jingqi moved closer to the queen mother, who looked at it carefully for a while, and said with a distressed face: "I lost weight."

Baili Jingqi didn't answer, the queen mother said again: "All these slaves deserve to die, serving the prince like this, what's the use of having these slaves."

Huo Mingzhu knew that she was venting her anger, but she couldn't open her mouth and lowered her head even lower, only to hear Baili Jingqi laughing: "The queen mother is too nervous, these servants are not good at serving , but Jing Qi has been thinking about academic matters recently, and that's why he's lost weight."

"Prince, don't be too merciful. You are a prince, some unfaithful slaves, so do what you want." The queen mother said, and glanced at Huo Mingzhu.

Baili Jingqi smiled and said: "Jingqi is really useless, the Queen Mother should worry about Jingqi so much."

The effect of these words can be said to be very good. The queen mother asked her, afraid that Baili Jingqi would feel that she was useless and unhappy, so she stopped saying it. The purpose of her trip was to persuade the prince to let go. If you don't, I'm afraid that you don't need her persuasion, so you don't say a word about the national teacher.
