After dressing as a villain's ex-wife, she went crazy for whitewashing

On the second day, the Empress Dowager suddenly summoned her and Xiao Yunheng to enter the palace.

The palace people who came to lead the way were familiar to her, and they soon arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace.

It was already noon when they entered the palace, and the queen mother had already set up a table of food in the hall.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. You girl, you really can't sit still. I heard that you have set up a girls' school outside the palace."

As soon as she arrived in the palace, the rosy-faced, well-bred Queen Mother came over, grabbed her with one hand, and pointed to a stool beside her with the other, letting Xiao Yunheng sit on it.

Lu Xiyue understood what she said.

It seems that the Queen Mother also summoned her after hearing about the women's school.

"Why does the queen mother know about it, but she has this idea, and the school is still under construction."

The queen mother patted her hand and sat down, her eyes full of kindness: "You girl, you are really sensible, Aijia not only knows about the school, but also knows that your school is not only for teaching, but also for teaching how people make a living.”

Teaching a craft is actually more useful to women than learning knowledge.

The number of jobs in this world that can be left to women who can read and write can be counted on one hand.

By doing this, Lu Xiyue taught them how to survive.

The Empress Dowager eats fast and recites Buddha's name in order to make the country prosperous and the people safe, and the people to go well. Knowing what she has done, she is naturally happy in her heart.

"It's rare that you have such a heart, Aijia, I have something for you." The queen mother said without any explanation, and ordered the mother behind her to fetch a brocade box.

The moment she saw the brocade box, a word popped out of Lu Xiyue's mind - money.

She subconsciously looked at Xiao Yunheng, the young man's thin lips were slightly pursed, with a slight smile.

When the box was opened, there was indeed a stack of bank notes inside.

"The Ai family doesn't need these in the palace, so I gave them to you to repair the girls' school."

Lu Xiyue felt that she had a lot of money recently, so everyone rushed to give her money.

If it is in modern times, no matter what, you have to go to the lottery shop to buy a lottery ticket.

"The empress dowager is kind-hearted and dedicated to serving the people, so the minister's wife accepted it." She grinned without twitching.

The queen mother also laughed: "Aijia likes your straightforward temperament."

It would be too inconvenient to reject this with her, besides, this is charity money, not for her alone.

"Okay, don't just sit around and eat."

After the queen mother spoke, some palace servants stepped forward to serve the two of them for dinner.

During the dinner, the Empress Dowager looked at Xiao Yunheng who was serving food for Lu Xiyue from time to time, and said suddenly: "Why hasn't your belly moved for so long?"

"Hey, what?"

Lu Xiyue almost choked on the mouthful of rice she just swallowed.

The young man beside him hurried over to a glass of warm water before the palace servants, and patted her on the back with a soft and helpless voice: "Slow down."

Lu Xiyue lowered her head while holding his hand, and stared at him silently.

Xiao Yunheng only felt innocent.

He didn't do anything.

Seeing the interaction between the two, the Queen Mother couldn't help laughing.

Young man, the relationship is really good, she and the first emperor used to be like that.

"It's Aijia's fault. You are still young. Don't worry about the children." She just thought that the two of them have such a good relationship, and after many years of marriage, they are even stickier than those newlyweds, as gluey as glue.

There were occasional rumors among the palace people that King Ning even followed Princess Ning when she went out, wishing she could hide her under the quilt and not let her out to meet people.

King Ning was at a young age, and every time the Queen Mother stood by, he could feel the expression on his face that Lu Xiyue was almost drowning.

It's strange that there's been no movement for so long.

"Back to the queen mother, Ah Yue is still young, so we don't plan to have an heir too early." Xiao Yunheng replied for Lu Xiyue.

And they did.

Although pig intestines are fishy, ​​they can be washed clean, much better than sheep intestines.

At first Lu Xiyue couldn't accept it, but later she found that Xiao Yunheng's physical strength was astonishingly good, it was simply beyond the reach of normal people, so she had to use it.

According to his frequency, if he doesn't use it, Lu Xiyue suspects that he will have to hug him for three years.

When the young maid at the side heard the words, she immediately understood and blushed.

The queen mother looked at the tall and handsome young man who said this, and nodded in satisfaction. Nowadays, it is really rare for a man who is so considerate for his wife at home.

"That's fine, that's fine, Ai Jia remembers that your mother was only 20 years old before she conceived you."

It's no wonder that both father and son are lovers.

Xiao Yunheng nodded.

Lu Xiyue ate silently while listening to the conversation between the left and the right.

After dinner, the queen mother finally stopped holding on to the relationship between the two of them, and asked about the girls' school.

Lu Xiyue explained the detailed rules patiently, and there are quite a few girls who have signed up, but there are relatively few teachers at present.

The queen mother was fascinated when she heard it, and felt more and more that the girl in front of her was in her favor: "So, the money is enough."

"It's enough."

"If you cooperate with the Patriarch of Tianxia Commercial Bank, there will be no reinforcements?" The queen mother frowned as she said.

On weekdays, those ministers ran to the emperor to complain, either crying poor or tired. I don’t know how many people searched the treasury for money in the name of giving the people a certain well-being.

When it's time to do things for the common people, no one is showing up.

Lu Xiyue was stunned for a moment.

It's over, she seems to have dug a hole for herself.

She still has to jump down to fill this hole.

Xiao Yunheng smiled lightly, with a look of helplessness on his face.

But at this moment, the husband and wife both thought of Yao Xinyu.

She has always been thoughtful and has her own plan for everything she does, whether donating money is one of them.

This thought flashed by, Lu Xiyue glanced at Xiao Yunheng bitterly, and said, "It's not just the owner of Tianxia Commercial Firm, but also my mother and the girl from Xiangye Yao's family."

"Yao Xiang's family?!" The Empress Dowager was surprised, "Is it Yao Xinyu's girl?"

"Yes."

The queen mother was silent, she didn't know what she was thinking, she opened her mouth after a long time, and revealed the topic: "How is your mother now, the Ai family has never seen her since you returned to Beijing."

In the past, when the Duke's Mansion was still in existence, Mother Lu was often summoned into the palace.

"My mother is very nice. Sometimes I go out with several wives for outings. Every time I go out of the palace, she will greet the Queen Mother."

"She has a heart." The Empress Dowager's tone was light, obviously she was a little absent-minded after listening to Yao Xinyu's matter.

Sure enough, as she expected, after a few idle words, the Queen Mother stopped keeping anyone.

As soon as the two left the Queen Mother's palace, they met the two princesses Fushou and Fuchun who came to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.

"Sister-in-law, it's been a long time since you entered the palace." Princess Fuchun wanted to move closer to her when she came up, took a step closer, and suddenly stopped.

Princess Fushou didn't pay attention, and suddenly bumped into her back.

"Cousin, why is cousin here?" Princess Fuchun looked at Xiao Yunheng with a half-hearted smile.

When Princess Fushou heard this, her face froze, and she greeted him dryly.
