Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 277
Cao An said that if she wanted to go out for a walk, she could take a bath and change clothes, but Huo Mingzhu wanted to see if she could really walk around, didn't Baili Jingqi want to put her under house arrest, so she nodded and wanted to go out walk around.

After leaving the Palace of Compassion and Ning, she stood still, because Huo Mingzhu didn't know where she was going at the moment. Thinking about it carefully, since she entered the palace, she has been scheming all day long, either scheming against the emperor or Baili Zonglu. Now, No one could figure it out, and she didn't know how to do it.

Seeing Huo Mingzhu's appearance, Cao An, who was standing beside Huo Mingzhu, took a step forward, walked up to Huo Mingzhu and said, "Empress Dowager, the sun is warm in spring, and this imperial garden is just in time for bustle, not to mention a hundred flowers blooming. The birds, butterflies and so on have all come back, and this spring is the most eye-catching in the Royal Garden."

What Cao An said was impeccable, not that the flowers in other seasons are not good, but that they are eye-catching. Indeed, this imperial garden full of flowers is not eye-catching.

Huo Mingzhu originally just wanted to see if the ban was lifted, but now that it was confirmed, she didn't know what to do next. Hearing Cao An's words now, she thought it would be a good idea to go to the Imperial Garden.

As expected of the popular person next to Baili Jingqi, he really knows how to act according to the eyes of others, Huo Mingzhu couldn't help thinking in his heart.

"Then let's go to the Royal Garden. Ai's family entered the palace in autumn, and missed the season when a hundred flowers bloom. Now it's just in time. If you don't go to see it, you will be sorry for Eunuch Cao's kindness." Huo Mingzhu couldn't help it Sarcastic to Cao An.

In short, she just doesn't like Cao An, even if he is good at Linglong, she doesn't like her, but this kind of dislike is different from Baili Zonglu's hatred, she has no intention of wanting Cao An Life.

Cao An smiled wryly to himself, thinking in his heart, what evil did he do, to stay well by the emperor's side, and let the emperor send him to this difficult empress dowager, who doesn't want to see him so much, isn't his life very bad? Easy to lose.

Huo Mingzhu didn't want to sit on a phoenix chariot, so she walked. She hadn't walked properly for a long time, she either stayed on the bed or sat on a phoenix chariot, if she didn't walk well, she would be rusted.

Before entering the imperial garden, he could already smell the fragrance of flowers, Huo Mingzhu was somewhat looking forward to it.

When Huo Mingzhu actually saw such a splendid garden full of purples and reds, Huo Mingzhu thought Cao An's proposal was very good, so she said to Cao An: "No wonder the emperor values ​​Cao Eunuch so much, Cao Eunuch really knows how to cater to people's hearts."

"Oh, empress dowager, you say that to ruin the slave, it is the slave's duty to share the master's worries, if the slave's suggestion is liked by the empress dowager, the slave will be extremely happy, how dare he take credit for it. "That's what he said, but Cao An was very happy, because he couldn't understand it all too well. Now that he pleases Huo Mingzhu, it is equivalent to please Baili Jingqi, which kills two birds with one stone.

Besides, I didn't always do this in the past, and I didn't flatter him now, presumably this is why Huo Mingzhu admired him.

Cao An was really right, Huo Mingzhu just felt that Cao An treated her the same as Baili Jingqi, and that's why she changed her attitude towards this slave a little bit. If she was as first-rate as Nanny Feng, Huo Mingzhu would have cured him sooner or later.

"Okay, the Ai family is not your master, there is no need to do this in front of the Ai family." Huo Mingzhu thought of Baili Jingqi at this moment, but the feeling in his heart was very complicated, and Cao An was Baili Jingqi's person, seeing Cao An It was as if seeing Baili Jingqi, which made Huo Mingzhu feel uneasy.

Cao An hastily shut his mouth and didn't dare to speak, and shrunk his head tightly, hoping in his heart that Huo Mingzhu would not pay attention to his head, and he still wanted to save something to eat.

If you want to say where there are the most exotic grasses in the world, then of course it is the emperor's imperial garden. Huo Mingzhu was surprised to find a black rhododendron, which was very rare. She was standing aside watching it, and there was a clear and pleasant sound in her ear. Voice: "The concubine sees the empress dowager, the empress dowager is a thousand years old."

When Huo Mingzhu turned her head, she saw Situ Yue'er, and the other was Concubine Li. Huo Mingzhu indifferently opened the corners of her mouth, and said to the two women, "Get up."

The two girls thanked each other.

Huo Mingzhu thought in her heart that Situ Yueer and her two daughters might also come to the Royal Garden for a walk, and she really doesn't want to stay with these two women at the moment.

However, before Huo Mingzhu could speak, Situ Yueer said: "The empress dowager looks really good today. I heard the emperor said that the empress dowager is in poor health, and the concubines are anxious. They want to come to the empress dowager's bed to wait for her illness. The emperor But it is not allowed, now seeing that the Empress Dowager is fine, the ministers and concubines feel at ease."

Huo Mingzhu could guess the meaning hidden in these words without thinking carefully. She glanced at Situ Yue'er lightly, not wanting to argue with her so much: "Concubine Yue has a heart."

"The concubine failed to serve her personally, so whatever I say now, it's just pretty words." Situ Yue'er seemed not to understand that Huo Mingzhu didn't want to continue talking with her, but continued talking instead.

Concubine Li is winking, she can see that Huo Mingzhu doesn't want to pay attention to the two of them, logically speaking, Situ Yue'er is not winking, but why is she still not resigning now? Thinking of this, Concubine Li hurried to Situ Yue'er winked, but Situ Yue'er only glanced at her, then turned her head away, making Pin Li anxious.

Of course Huo Mingzhu saw Concubine Li's little actions, and felt that Concubine Li was a little kind.

Of course, Situ Yue'er is not a winking person, she is very winking, Cao An followed Huo Mingzhu, what does this mean?Earlier, the emperor said that the empress dowager's phoenix body was not in good health, but he did not arrange for the concubine to attend the sickness, let alone sent the imperial doctor to check the pulse, and now he recovered suddenly, who did he lie to?
Now that he is cured, he can come out with Cao An by his side. Thinking of how good Baili Jingqi treated Huo Mingzhu in the past, I am afraid that all the daughters in Beijing know that there are not many people attending the princess's garden party. .

If it is said that Huo Mingzhu is the queen mother at the moment, and Baili Jingqi is a mother-child relationship, Situ Yueer really does not believe that the two of them have nothing to do with each other. It is said that Baili Jingqi often goes to Huo Mingzhu's Compassionate Ning Palace, the door is closed, and the slave They all rushed outside, not knowing what those two people were doing inside.

Thinking of this, Situ Yueer's hatred for Huo Mingzhu became more and more intense. Before, when she had Baili Zonglu in her heart, Baili Zonglu could only see Huo Mingzhu in her eyes. Now, she has become After losing Baili Jingqi's concubine, Huo Mingzhu and Baili Jingqi couldn't figure it out, which made Situ Yueer hate Huo Mingzhu so much in her heart.

At this moment, Huo Mingzhu only felt that Baili Yue'er didn't wink at all, and the others didn't think much about it. She thought, since you are so winkless, then it's better to just speak directly, so Huo Mingzhu said: " Concubine Yue and Concubine Li's interest in visiting the garden should not be interrupted by the Ai family."

When Concubine Li heard this, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said: "The empress dowager said so, the ministers and concubines are terrified, the garden is small, please be safe for the empress dowager."

Huo Mingzhu nodded and said: "Since I have paid my respects, Ai's family will definitely not punish you for your disrespect. Besides, this garden is so beautiful, you just stay with Ai's family to talk, but you are delaying the beautiful scenery. Go."

As soon as Concubine Li heard Huo Mingzhu's words, she immediately laughed happily, and said to Huo Mingzhu: "The empress dowager doesn't know something. Since the beginning of spring, this garden concubine has left for the fourth time. It’s really fun to discover something different.”

This concubine Li is only just reaching the age of Ji, but she is about the same age as Huo Mingzhu, but she is innocent and lively, and she can be seen quickly if she has a plan, for example, it is obvious that she just asked Situ Yueer to leave.

If you really want to compare them together, Huo Mingzhu prefers Concubine Li. Although this Situ Yueer has means and is suitable for managing the harem, she is too ambitious, and now she still wants to interfere with her, which makes Huo Mingzhu very dissatisfied.

When Situ Yueer saw Concubine Li say such insignificant words, she felt very uneasy, and just now Huo Mingzhu had let them go. Although Situ Yueer didn't want to leave, she still wanted to stay with Huo Mingzhu for a while and find someone Find Huo Mingzhu's flaws so that he can teach her a lesson, but Huo Mingzhu's identity is there, and she can't tolerate her messing around, so he has to leave.

After resigning, Situ Yue'er passed by Huo Mingzhu's side. Logically, she was not qualified to do so, but just now Huo Mingzhu said, don't delay the beautiful scenery, she thinks the beautiful scenery walking here is very good, Don't want to miss it.

Huo Mingzhu didn't think about getting into trouble with her either, Situ Yue'er just passed by her side without touching her.

However, Situ Yue'er didn't touch Huo Mingzhu, but knocked Cao An who was standing on the side to the ground. You know, although Cao An is a man, he is an eunuch, and he serves Baili Jingqi all day long. , how could it compare to Situ Yueer who possesses martial arts.

With Situ Yue'er's secret skills, Cao An can be blown away.

The fact is also the same. When Situ Yueer passed by by mistake, Cao An happened to be standing there, and Situ Yueer pretended to sprain her foot, twisted her body, and bumped into Cao An's body.

As for the benefits of Situ Yueer doing this, Cao An is just a slave, but Situ Yueer just doesn't want Cao An to serve Huo Mingzhu.

After poor Cao An fell to the ground like this, he bumped into his forehead, and blood flowed all over his face. Huo Mingzhu didn't like Cao An very much at first, but when he saw him in such a miserable state, he said lightly, "Did Concubine Yue fall down?"

Situ Yue'er's maid hurriedly helped Situ Yue'er up, Situ Yue'er pretended to hold her ankle and complained of pain, Huo Mingzhu scolded Cao An: "Bold slave, how noble is Concubine Yue, who can be bumped by a slave like you?"

Anyway, Huo Mingzhu didn't know what Situ Yueer wanted, but she helped her. Huo Mingzhu didn't want Cao An to follow her, so he had an excuse to drive Cao An back to Baili Jingqi.

Cao An was so frightened that his face was ashen. He had been Baili Jingqi's personal eunuch for so long, but he had never suffered such a big hardship. It was obviously Situ Yueer who bumped him, but it turned out to be his fault. However, he is just a slave, even if he is valued by Baili Jingqi, he is still a slave.

Therefore, Cao An had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow to Huo Mingzhu: "The empress dowager, the slave is convicted, please punish the empress dowager."

"Punishment? Eunuch Cao, you are an old man by the emperor's side, yet you don't know etiquette." Huo Mingzhu said calmly.

Situ Yueer's face turned paler, Huo Mingzhu's words clearly meant Sang scolding Huai, but what else could she say now, she could only hold her leg and scream for pain.

I regretted it very much in my heart, why did I use Cao An to embarrass Huo Mingzhu, Huo Mingzhu didn't care about Cao An's existence at all, Situ Yueer thought angrily.

Huo Mingzhu didn't care what Situ Yueer thought, she only knew that what Situ Yueer did was aimed at her. She originally didn't want the harem to get involved with her, but she was not afraid of things. Situ Yueer dared to provoke her. Huo Mingzhu really never thought of letting this matter go, Cao An was going to drive him away, and Situ Yue'er couldn't let it go like this.
