After the first fool

Chapter 72 Bai Zixu's Thoughts

Mo Xiaoran didn't care where Bai Zixu went to bed every night, as long as it wasn't her Fengqi Palace, she would pretend that she didn't know. The next day, Xiao Zhu dragged her out of bed early in the morning, and she was in a daze. Being dragged to wash up, put on a queen-grade phoenix robe, and wearing heavy jewelry on her head, Mo Xiaoran even wondered if she would suffer from cervical spondylosis at a young age if it went on for so long.

"Xiaozhu, don't wear these things," she pointed to the hairpin on the dressing table: "I'm already top-heavy now."

"Your Majesty, you are going to pay your respects to the Empress Dowager, how can you not dress up properly?" Xiaozhu pouted and muttered, "What's more, not only you, but also Concubine Xue and the few regulars will go, no matter what, you can't be fooled by them." Let's compare it?"

Dare she think that she is going to compete with those women for favor?

Mo Xiaoran couldn't help laughing, and raised her hand to knock on her forehead: "I want to be noticed by others, but you are good, you just want to make me stand out from the crowd, don't you? Why do you look so beautiful? Who is it for?"

"Show the emperor." Xiaozhu said casually.

The smile on Mo Xiaoran's face sank, "He?" She raised the corners of her mouth in disdain: "Forget it, I have no intention of pleasing him, besides, do you really think that I will be willing to stay in the harem forever? What kind of queen do you want to be? Fighting with a bunch of women all day, living in such a small world all your life?"

Xiao Zhuyuan thought that Mo Xiaoran had already given up the idea of ​​leaving the palace, but she did not expect that she still had such thoughts: "But the emperor already knows that Miss is not stupid, so she will definitely treat her differently."

"I don't care what he thinks of me," Mo Xiaoran shrugged, with a look of indifference, she got up from the chair, and let Xiaozhu arrange the phoenix robe on her body for her. The flying phoenix pattern is extravagant and elegant, "Let's go, go and greet the queen mother."

"Yes." Xiao Zhu helped her out from Fengqi Palace, the master and servant walked towards the Palace of Compassion and Ning while strolling around the courtyard, along the way, they saw quite a few beautifully dressed, dignified or skillful women.

"Slaves see the queen." Chang Zai found Mo Xiaoran who was walking slowly, and hurriedly bowed to salute.

Mo Xiaoran nodded slowly: "Get up."

"Thank you queen." She straightened her body, with a gentle smile on her face, walked to Mo Xiaoran's side, and asked in a low voice: "Is your empress going to pay her respects to the queen mother?"

Otherwise, did she come early in the morning to create a chance encounter with them?

Mo Xiaoran felt slander in her heart, but there was a professional and polite smile on her face, "Yes."

"That's good, servants and maidservants have never gone to visit the Empress Dowager together with the Empress Dowager." Chang Zai giggled happily, and the silver bell-like laughter sounded very pleasant.

"By the way, I wonder if the queen has seen the emperor recently?" Chang Zai asked calmly.

The corner of Mo Xiaoran's mouth twitched, didn't she know that she and Bai Zixu had fallen out a long time ago, they were in conflict and hadn't seen each other for many days?
"The emperor has a lot of things to do every day, how can I see him as soon as I want?" She didn't mind lowering her figure, just because she was too lazy to act with this woman. To be honest, sometimes she really sympathized with them, and she could only stay with her for the rest of her life. In the palace, fighting with women, she put all her heart and soul into just to get the occasional favor from the high and mighty emperor.

does it worth?
If Mo Xiaoran said that life is precious, love is more expensive, if it is for the sake of freedom, both can be thrown away.

The man she wants can only be her, she would rather be short than excessive.

All the way in silence, when she walked outside the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Mo Xiaoran heard the crisp laughter that sounded like an oriole coming out of the valley, and raised her eyebrows slightly, it seems that Liao Xue came earlier than herself.

She walked gracefully, leading a group of Yingying and Yanyan, like a mother, into the Palace of Compassion and Peace. When the Queen Mother saw her coming in, the smile on her face suddenly restrained a bit, even that loving smile was gone. There is a tinge of falsehood.

Mo Xiaoran slightly bent her knees, neither humble nor rude, "See the Queen Mother."

Circumstances are stronger than people. Although she hates this cumbersome etiquette, she can't change the general environment, so she can only be passively changed by the environment.

"The concubine sees the empress." Liao Xue also bowed her knees and saluted her, her eyes were lowered, and she exuded a weak and delicate aura, just like a dodder flower.

"Everyone get up, they're all my sisters, why are you so unfamiliar?" The queen mother tried to smooth things over, and Mo Xiaoran and Liao Xue sat down on either side of the lower head, one on the left and one on the right, clearly distinct.

My sister?

Speaking of Queen Mother, can you be a little more shameless?
Mo Xiaoran didn't know when she had an extra younger sister out of thin air, and she sat silently at the bottom, using herself as air, thinking in her heart when the time for saying hello would pass.

The refreshments in the Compassionate Ning Palace are quite delicious. Mo Xiaoran didn't listen to the conversations of these women's boudoirs, and focused all her attention on eating. She got up too early and her stomach was empty, and she really needed something to fill her stomach.

She doesn't look at these women, but they can't ignore her. The queen mother sat at the head, watching Mo Xiaoran eating with cold eyes, her actions were rude and uneducated, her brows furrowed secretly, and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes. Even if this fool is no longer stupid, she still can't fall in love with her, no matter how you look at it, it's not pleasing to the eye.

This is not surprising, since Mo Xiaoran entered the palace, how many disturbances have occurred in the palace?Which one has nothing to do with her?

It would be weird if the Queen Mother liked her.

"Empress, did you not have enough to eat yesterday? Why did you rush to eat as soon as you entered the house?" Liao Xue asked in a soft voice, but the words were extremely harsh to my ears.

Mo Xiaoran swallowed the pastry in her mouth, took another sip of tea, and then said, "I can't help it, I'm a foodie by nature, and I can't care about anything when I see food."

"Food? This word is new." Liao Xue giggled while covering her mouth.

"There are a lot of new things, and there are a lot of things you haven't seen before." Mo Xiaoran didn't give her any face, and directly retorted.

The smile on Liao Xue's face froze. She had never expected that Mo Xiaoran would dare to talk to her like this in front of the queen mother, and she felt a little bit aggrieved, "It's my concubine who is ignorant."

"I heard that the emperor spent the night with you yesterday?" The queen mother asked with a smile, shifting the topic away without any trace.

Liao Xue's face turned red, two blushes slowly bloomed, the corners of Mo Xiaoran's mouth twitched suddenly, a little tired of her sudden change, what did she mean?She just looks shy?Want to talk?

"That's right, the emperor suddenly came to the Chaoyang Palace of the concubine last night. The concubine was almost unprepared and almost neglected the emperor." When Liao Xue said this, almost everyone except the queen mother was disgusted, Mo Xiaoran It was purely stimulated by her delicate tone, while others were jealous.

Most of them were favored by Bai Zixu when Liao Xue had a rash, but since the empress entered the prison until now, they have never even seen the emperor's face, how can they feel at ease when they hear this now?

"The imperial concubine is really loved by the emperor. After taking care of the state affairs, the emperor's first place to stay is the empress. Slaves and servants who are younger sisters envy the empress." A Chang said with a smile, but the jealousy in his eyes was still there. A bird's eye view.

Mo Xiaoran lowered her head and continued to put on airs, looking coldly at the palace fight scene in front of her, she had the illusion of watching a TVB series, which was much more exciting than TV dramas.

"Queen, why haven't you spoken?" Seeing that they were chatting happily, and seeing Mo Xiaoran sitting alone on a chair, the Queen Mother asked out of nowhere.

"Ah, my concubine didn't rest well last night, and she's dozing off now, so she didn't chat with my sisters." So you always let me go, and God knows, sitting here is really hard for her. torment.

She was not at all interested in what they talked about, such as flowers, plants, rouge and gouache.

"Since the empress is tired, you should go back and rest." The empress dowager did not force her to stay, Mo Xiaoran was overjoyed, she hurriedly got up, took Xiao Zhu and walked out.

Unexpectedly, just as she walked to the gate of the Palace of Compassion and Peace, she saw Bai Zixu retreating from the bottom of the steps.

One stood firmly on the steps, the other hurriedly stood down, their eyes met each other, and their eyes met unexpectedly in the air.

One hides disgust, the other is astonished.

Xiao Zhu poked Mo Xiaoran's waist from behind, then stepped forward and bowed her knees to salute: "See Your Majesty."

"Get up." Bai Zixu looked back, with a gentle smile on his face, he lifted it up in the air, the goose yellow dragon robe wrapped his strong body, his handsome face in the sun, as if Gods.

He stepped up the stone steps, stopped in front of Mo Xiaoran, his eyes were calm, as if there were huge waves hidden in the sky, "The empress is leaving now?"

Mo Xiaoran nodded with a smile: "Yeah, I breathed something unclean in the morning, and now this concubine wants to go back to the palace to unclog it."

She alluded to Yingying Yanyan in the Compassionate Ning Palace, her words were thorny, and the smile on Bai Zixu's face suddenly darkened: "The queen's eloquence is really brilliant."

"Where, the concubine is only capable of this. If he can be praised by the emperor, the concubine is afraid." Don't think that he is the emperor, she really has nothing to do with him. , Mo Xiaoran was still willing. Seeing that Bai Zixu was uncomfortable, her heart was relieved.

This woman really has the ability to turn black into white. Bai Zixu's eyes are dark, but the smile on the corner of his mouth becomes more and more gentle: "I haven't seen you for many days, so go in and sit down and chat with the concubine in the palace." Chat, after all, you will get along day and night in the future."

Why did he keep himself?
Mo Xiaoran glanced at Bai Zixu strangely, feeling that he didn't know what he was planning.

"The concubine is in poor health. Besides, I really don't have much in common with these sisters. Staying together forcibly is not just an annoyance to each other. Why should the emperor force others?" Mo Xiaoran smiled as innocently as possible, her eyes were clear , like a pure white rabbit.

It can be seen that after seeing her ability, how could Bai Zixu believe it so easily?

"Don't you even listen to what I say?" His words were cold, and he had even put on a hint of warning.

Only men with no taste can intimidate women, Mo Xiaoran smiled disdainfully, but her face remained calm: "How dare I, you are the emperor, who dares to disobey your orders?"
