Farmer's pretty businesswoman

Chapter 213
After helping Shangguan Chuchu up, the queen mother did not let go of her hand immediately, but wrapped her hand tightly in her palm, looking at her kindly.The empress dowager's eyes and actions made Shangguan Chuchu feel like his hairs were standing on end, and he felt goose bumps all over his body.

Not disgusting, but a feeling of being valued and sold.

I always feel that the kindness in the Empress Dowager's eyes is not pure, but also contains something called calculation.

The queen mother held Shangguan Chuchu's hand tightly, took the purple jade box handed over by Nanny Shui with one hand, and put the purple jade box in Shangguan Chuchu's hand with a smile, "Ruyi, having no daughter in life is the biggest thing in the Ai family's life. It's a pity, the Ai family always thinks that you and Ziyu are destined to drink breast milk together. Prince Mu and the late emperor are brothers, the Ai family wants to recognize Ruyi as a righteous daughter, but I don't know if Ruyi can wish?"

"My daughter..."

"I'm afraid, the empress dowager's love is a blessing for Ruyi, but when Ruyi was still young, Master Lingze of the'Huize Temple' made a fortune teller for her, saying that her life lacks a mother's love." Prince Mu rushed to Shangguan Chuchu's hand. In front of him, he politely replied to the Queen Mother's words.

"Oh?" The queen mother looked at the father and daughter kneeling on the ground in surprise, her eyes flickered a few times, she turned her head to look at the emperor, and soon laughed, saying disapprovingly: "This is really a coincidence After Ziyu died that year, I went to "Huize Temple" to eat vegetarian food for her, and worshiped Buddha for 49 days. Master Lingze also persuaded Aijia, saying that Aijia had a shallow relationship with Ziyu, and also said that Aijia The family and the late emperor were destined to have no daughters. If you want a daughter in this life, you can only get it from the side. Now hearing the prince talk about this, the Ai family feels that this is really destined to be the fate of the Ai family and Ruyi's mother and daughter. The prince's There is no need to worry.”

The Empress Dowager blocked Mu Zheng's way neither softly nor hard, and the implication was very clear that today she vowed to be a daughter-in-law, and she could not allow others to refuse.

Mu Zheng was kneeling with his head bowed, struggling in his heart, unable to advance or retreat.

The empress dowager's meaning couldn't be clearer, if he refuses again, it will be against the decree, if he doesn't believe that the empress dowager's blessing can be controlled well, then it will become a mischievous intention.Mu Zheng hesitated, clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves.

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced lightly at Mu Zheng, who was throbbing with blue veins on both sides of his forehead. Shangguan Chuchu suddenly felt distressed. She bowed her head and kowtowed to thank her, and said, "My daughter, thank you for your kindness, and thank you for your kindness!" , let's see what they do next.

"I thank the Queen Mother for your kindness, and thank you Lord for your kindness!" Prince Mu kowtowed to thank Shangguan Chuchu.

The empress dowager and the emperor looked at each other, both smiled with satisfaction and made flattening gestures, "Quickly flatten your body!"

"Ruyi, come to the queen mother quickly." The role of the queen mother entered the play very quickly, and she immediately waved Shangguan Chuchu to her side with a smile from ear to ear, gently opened the purple jade box, took out a gold medal from it, and put it When it was in Shangguan Chuchu's hand, she said with nostalgic eyes: "This gold medal was made for Ziyu by the late emperor. I wanted to give it to her when she was old, but unexpectedly she has no luck to wait until this day. Come, Ruyi , you keep this."

Hearing this, Shangguan Chuchu pushed the gold medal into the queen mother's hand with a face full of horror, shook his head, and said: "No, no! This gold medal condenses the late emperor's love for Princess Ziyu. If you can't accept it, please ask the queen mother to accept it." Madam, forgive me."

"Stupid child, just say some stupid things. It is the late emperor's regret that he has no daughter. Now that he has such a caring, filial and sensible daughter as Ruyi, the late emperor's spirit in heaven will also feel gratified. Come, accept it quickly. This gold medal is not ordinary. It is a gold medal for avoiding death, and the point is that all officials see it, and seeing the gold medal is like seeing the emperor, and Ruyi has the right to cut it first and then play it later." The queen mother smiled softly, and pushed the gold medal to Shangguan Chuchu hands.

The emperor, who had just smiled for a long time, also smiled and said, "What the queen mother said is not wrong, please feel free to accept it! From now on, as long as you hold the gold medal, you can enter this palace at any time, without waiting for the decree." Said Then, the emperor smiled and looked at Prince Mu again, "Mu Aiqing, tomorrow morning I will announce to the world the matter of my mother's adoption of her righteous daughter. Just go back home and rest."

"Yes, yes, yes! The Ai family and the emperor will also discuss matters related to the canonization banquet later. You should go back to the mansion to rest first. I am afraid that Ruyi will be even busier in a few days. The Ai family is going to call the officials and wives of the capital and Miss Guan enters the palace, let them and Ruyi get to know each other."

Following the emperor's words, the queen mother smiled and asked Prince Mu and Shangguan Chuchu to go back to the mansion to rest.

"Your servant (minister) thank the emperor for your kindness, and thank the empress dowager for your kindness." The father and daughter resigned from the emperor and the empress dowager tacitly, and turned around to be led out of the palace by the eunuchs.

The night was quiet, and the sound of the wheels was particularly loud.Although the carriage was walking on the busy street, because it was still snowing heavily, only a few passers-by in a hurry could be seen occasionally on the white street.

The inside of the carriage was warm, and there was a charcoal stove with smoke rising from the small tea table. The charcoal fire was bright red, and the heating made Shangguan's lovely face flush, as if she had just put on a layer of rouge.Shangguan Chuchu and Prince Mu sat quietly. For the first time since the father and daughter met, they had no topic to talk about.

Shangguan Chuchu put his hands on his knees, rubbing his sore knees from time to time.In just an hour, she couldn't remember how many times she knelt down. In such a cold weather, with such hard sapphire bricks, her knees were most likely swollen from kneeling.

Suddenly, Lord Mu stretched out his hand, and covered her knee with a generous palm. Shangguan Chuchu immediately felt a wave of heat seeping into her body from her knee, her whole body was warm, and the soreness on her knee also disappeared a lot. .

He raised his eyes and looked at Prince Mu with emotion, and parted his red lips lightly: "Thank you dad!"

But laugh silently.

Prince Mu looked at Shangguan Chuchu silently, thinking of what happened in the palace just now, his mood became complicated.

He still couldn't understand the intentions of the emperor and the queen mother, what they were?His eyes swept over the purple jade box that was quietly placed aside, the light in his eyes became flickering, he cleared his throat, and said, "Ruyi, can you guess the intentions of the emperor and the empress dowager?"

I don't know when, he no longer regarded Shangguan Chuchu as the little chick who needed to be protected under his feathers, but regarded her as a peacock with full wings and dazzling feathers.She has a unique insight into everything, and maybe she can see something that she can't understand.

"Father, whether it is good or bad depends on people. It is obvious that the emperor and the empress dowager have already decided on today's matter. As ministers, we can only do so. However, father, please rest assured that no matter what purpose they are fighting for, we As long as you don’t lose yourself.” As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to hug the purple jade box, and then said: “No matter what, the things inside are still helpful to us. Since the Queen Mother is determined to recognize me as a righteous daughter, then It means that I won't have to worry about my life, but I have an extra layer of protection. If this is the case, then there is no need to worry too much about the matter, let's take one step at a time and plan one step at a time."
