incense as a medium

Chapter 161 Grace
Liu Bailu's subordinates chopped shallots neatly, and said: "My aunt also knows that I have two daughters, but they are too naughty, and it's okay in a place like Border Pass, but since I'm back in Beijing, I have to ask them to take them away. Temperament, so I want to let my aunt see which maid of honor is going out of the palace recently, can she hire one to be a teacher in my house? If she is willing, our Qi family can help take care of the elderly. Treat the last dowry as your own family."

Chixia looked at her and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's not just about my son? Isn't it easy for you to talk to the Queen Mother about this?"

Liu Bailu turned to look at Chixia, and said, "I can't hide anything from my aunt, and I want someone who can help me manage my subordinates. We just came to Beijing, the family affairs are messy, and we don't understand the rules at all, so I want to I want a good aunt to help me. It’s best to stay in our house, or to be a helper for me. It’s great to find a tutor for my daughter, but if I want too much Well, I'm afraid people don't want to, if those incompetent people are not worthy of trust, wouldn't it be troublesome to take them back?"

Chixia thought for a while, and said: "You say that, I really have two candidates. One is the aunt of the Huanyi Bureau. She has no rank, but she is very capable and her hands are clean, otherwise she would not be fined and confiscated in the Huanyi Bureau." The other one is a good sister of mine. She wanted to leave the palace when her master disappeared, but after leaving the palace, her family didn’t want to take her home, so now she is in trouble. "

"That's really good!" Liu Bailu put a small handful of noodles into the pot and clapped his hands, "I'm not worried about my aunt."

Chixia smiled and watched Liu Bailu stir the noodles a few times and turn off the fire, put a few drops of white vinegar and sesame oil in the pot, sprinkle the chopped green onions on top, and there were some prepared by the cook on the side As for the cooked side dishes, put a little bit of each into a lotus leaf cup and put them on the tray together. She hurriedly went up to pick it up and said, "Mrs. Wei still remembers that the Empress Dowager doesn't like sauce."

The Queen Mother's taste is a bit tricky, and other than the daily servants, I really can't remember it. Take the sauce as an example, the Queen Mother needs to adjust the taste just right, if it is too salty or sweet. ate.It is also very particular about which dish is served with soy sauce and which dish is not, and most people really can't remember it.

Liu Bailu smiled and walked out behind Chixia, saying: "It's also my master who doesn't like soy sauce, so I also remembered that the Queen Mother doesn't like it."

People in positions of authority are most jealous of others trying to figure out their own thoughts, and the queen mother only picks on such a thing, except Chixia, so no one knows what the queen mother likes.

Chixia smiled and entered the room carrying the tray.

The Queen Mother had already fallen asleep, and Liu Bailu helped Chixia gently put the noodles on the kang table. Just after putting it down, the Queen Mother woke up, and she was startled when she saw Liu Bailu: "Huh? When are you coming back?" Why doesn't the Ai family know?"

Liu Bailu pursed her lips and smiled, said: "My concubine came to Beijing yesterday, and today I followed my master into the palace to thank you, and I came to see the queen mother, queen mother, this is the noodle you want."

"Oh? I'm really hungry when I say that." The queen mother looked at the noodles, the white soup base, the strands of noodles inside were like silk threads, and the floating green onion, it was really delicious. It really whets the appetite, "Hurry up and bring it to Aijia to have a taste."

Liu Bailu hurriedly took the handkerchief and wiped the queen mother's hands, and put on the beard.

However, the palm-sized small bowl contained only one chopstick of noodles, and the Queen Mother finished eating it in just a few mouthfuls. She put down the bowl with some unsatisfied feelings, and said, "Why is there only so little? It's not enough."

Liu Bailu pointed outside, and said: "It's getting late, if you eat too much, will you still have lunch later?"

"You're still thoughtful." The queen mother nodded, rinsed her mouth, and asked Liu Bailu's hand again: "Did the people from the Dayan tribe do anything to you? Did you get hurt? I asked the emperor to help you." You go for revenge!"

Liu Bailu glanced at Chixia who was smiling helplessly, and said, "Don't worry, Empress Dowager, the people in the Dayan tribe only care about food, and they didn't do anything to concubines. Instead, they treated them with delicious food and drinks. There is no need to avenge the concubine for the Holy Majesty." , Concubines are not so blessed."

"Oh, you child." The queen mother took Liu Bailu's hand and asked: "You just returned to Beijing, do you need help from Ai's family? It doesn't matter, just ask, Ai's family will support you!"

Liu Bailu smiled and said, "Naturally, I need the Empress Dowager to support my concubine. The two children in the family are so skinny, I want to ask the Empress Dowager to give me two people to teach the children, and then take care of the house for my concubine."

The empress dowager's muddy eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let Chixia handle this matter for you. By the way, the emperor rewarded you with a jade ruyi?"

Liu Bailu nodded and said, "The emperor's kindness is so great, I am ashamed to accept it."

"No shame, no shame," the queen mother patted Liu Bailu's hand, and slipped off the bright green jade bracelet on her wrist and put it on her: "Hey, this mourner rewarded you."

"Queen..." Liu Bailu hurriedly knelt down in shock, wanting to take off the bracelet, "This is something you never leave, how dare I want it?"

Chixia was also taken aback, since she served the Queen Mother, this pair of bracelets has been worn on the Queen Mother's wrists, almost never leaving her body!Isn't the Queen Mother confused now?

The queen mother pressed Liu Bailu's hand, with a bit of anger on her face: "Do you dislike my old lady wearing it?"

"No." Liu Bailu shook his head hastily.

"Then put it away!" the queen mother said.

Liu Bailu involuntarily glanced at Chi Xia, saw her nodding before kowtowing in gratitude: "My concubine thanks the Queen Mother for the generous reward."

The queen mother looked at the sky and said: "Yes, it's getting late, you can go back."

"Concubine, kneel down." Liu Bailu got up and bowed his knees to bid farewell, took a few steps back and glanced at Chixia when he turned around.

Liu Bailu followed the maid leading the way out of the Compassionate Ning Palace and did not go anywhere else, but stopped at the gate of the Compassionate Ning Palace: "Wait a minute."

"Yes." The little maid glanced at the bracelet on Liu Bailu's wrist, her respectful demeanor was completely different from when she came.

Chixia looked at the queen mother who was leaning on the big pillow and gradually closed her eyes as if she was falling asleep, and quietly gestured to the people around her to back off.

"Where are you going?" the Queen Mother suddenly asked.

Chi Xia was startled, looked at the Queen Mother, and said, "Your maidservant, go out for a while."

The queen mother smiled lightly and said, "Do you really think I'm so confused? The one who gave her something is given to her, and you go to the file. Tell Bailu, let her go back with peace of mind, no one will trouble her."

"Yes." Chixia breathed a sigh of relief.

The Empress Dowager rubbed her forehead, and the maid behind her immediately stepped forward and gently rubbed the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager said: "These two people, please let them go out of the palace with the egret. You don't have to come over to thank you, quietly. Just let the sound go. After all, she is still his daughter-in-law."

"Yes." Chixia agreed before she bowed her knees and left.

Liu Bailu stood quietly by the door, and only when she heard footsteps did she turn her head to look, and when she saw Chixia coming out, she rushed forward to meet her and said, "What does the Empress Dowager say?"

Chixia laughed and said, "I let you wear the bracelet with peace of mind, and said that you should take those two people back quietly. After all, you are still their daughter-in-law."

Liu Bailu's smile remained unchanged, but she was slightly disappointed in her heart. She smiled and said, "Then please trouble my aunt to take me to pick up the two aunts."

Chixia said: "This is what it should be, madam, come with me."

Liu Bailu followed behind Chixia, heaving a sigh of relief, it is already eye-catching for him to get the protection of the queen mother from the emperor, if he takes back the person bestowed by the queen mother in a grand manner, Qi Ding will definitely not dare to make things difficult for himself .

But the queen mother saw her own thoughts, is this a beating?But the Queen Mother still bestowed a man on her own, so what is this?
It is really hard to guess the minds of these superiors.

Caressing the green bracelet on his wrist, Liu Bailu stretched his smile, no matter what, no one will make trouble with Dayanbu's affairs in the future, although he is not afraid of those rumors, but he cannot ignore the children.

You can go anywhere in this palace, although Chixia said that she took Liu Bailu to lead people, but in fact she took Liu Bailu to the Yimen of the inner palace and asked her to wait here. He went to call the person over by himself, and followed her out of the palace.

There was a car when I came, but there was no car when I went back. As soon as Liu Bailu walked out of the palace gate, he looked at the huge empty square and imperial road outside the gate of the Divine Comedy, and turned to ask the guard: "Can you see Xiu Yin?" Is Master Qi Peiyun coming out?"

The guard asked, "But Mrs. Qi?"

"Exactly." Liu Bailu nodded.

The guard said: "Master Qi went to the Phoenix Tower with the Ninth Prince, and let me tell Mrs. Qi that you can just go there when you come out."

Liu Bailu thanked her, and looked forward. The Phoenix Tower is not far from here, but there are bustling crowds outside the Divine Comedy Gate. She is now bringing two maids who have just left the palace, and she is not wearing a veil. Hat, go to the street like this...

Thinking of this, she suddenly laughed, maybe this is exactly what Qi Peiyun meant?

It was one time to take the children out yesterday, and another time today. This is to make myself feel that this capital is the same as Yongkang Pass, don't worry about those gossips, don't I have to follow those rules?
Liu Bailu looked at the crowd in the distance, although there were many people, there were not many women, and even if there were, they were walking slowly in veiled hats.The ones without veiled hats are the daughters of poor families, and eating is a problem, so naturally they don't pay so much attention.

However, it is not the same after all.

Liu Bailu sighed, but walked out with a smile.
