After passing through the book, Mr. Chief Assistant came to rely on me

Since Liu Defu stopped him, he decided to go and take a look.

"Hey, princess, you can't go over!" Seeing that Su Xiaoxi insisted on going over, Liu Defu hurriedly chased after her and shouted anxiously.

However, Su Xiaoxi was not affected at all at this time and walked directly to Cining Palace.

The guards at Cining Palace were relatively tight, and Su Xiaoxi was stopped by the guards before she even reached the palace gate.

"What are you doing?" Su Xiaoxi glared at the two guards with displeasure and shouted angrily.

"Back to the princess, the Queen Mother has given orders that no one is allowed to enter!" The two people said solemnly, looking like they were rejecting people thousands of miles away.

Looking at their cold faces, Su Xiaoxi couldn't help but frown.

At this moment, a soft voice came.

"The Ai family wants to see who dares to stop our princess!"

Following the sound, it turned out to be the Queen Mother, followed by two palace maids and the imperial physician.

"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother." Su Xiaoxi saluted after seeing the person clearly.

"Get up!" The Queen Mother patted Su Xiaoxi on the shoulder with sincere words, "This time the people's suffering is all thanks to you!"

"The Queen Mother is serious." Su Xiaoxi lowered her head and spoke in a calm tone.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but praise, "You are such a kind child."

Su Xiaoxi lowered her head humbly and remained silent.

Seeing Su Xiaoxi's appearance, the Queen Mother couldn't say anything.

After all, she is her granddaughter. If she scolds her, she might offend her son.

"Aijia is tired, let's go and rest first." The Queen Mother finally left.

At this time, Liu Defu also came up and said, "Princess, please!"

Su Xiaoxi didn't say anything, and just followed Liu Defu forward, bypassing the rockery and flowing water, and came to a pavilion.

There was a chair placed in the center of the pavilion, with a curtain hanging behind the chair. Su Xiaoxi recognized it at a glance as the place where the Queen Mother rested.

"Princess, please sit down while I go and inform the Queen Mother." Liu Defu pushed the stool to Su Xiaoxi and then ran to the other side of the pavilion.

Su Xiaoxi raised her eyes and glanced at Liu Defu's back, cursing in her heart, this damn eunuch is really treacherous, hiding on the other side.

However, she is too lazy to worry about it now.

Anyway, there are guards guarding the place, so there is no fear of her escaping.

After thinking about it, Su Xiaoxi slowly sat down.

It was very quiet here. Su Xiaoxi sat for a while and found that the Queen Mother did not come and there was no one there.

The layout and scenery inside the palace were quite good, especially the garden, which surprised Su Xiaoxi.

The flowers here are actually shipped from various countries.

After Su Xiaoxi walked around the palace, she suddenly stopped and her eyes fell on a particularly beautiful rose.

Su Xiaoxi squatted down and looked at the rose carefully.

This rose is in full bloom, and its fragrance is even more intense.

Su Xiaoxi could even feel the fragrance coming to her nostrils.

"It's so beautiful!" Su Xiaoxi sighed softly, reached out and picked a rose, put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it.

"How brave you are to break into Cining Palace without permission!"

Suddenly, a sharp and harsh roar came from a distance.

Hearing the sound, Su Xiaoxi looked back and saw a woman dressed as a maid running towards Su Xiaoxi menacingly.

Su Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes slightly. No need to guess, this woman must be the Queen Mother's personal attendant.

"I am a member of the royal family, why can't I enter the Cining Palace?" Su Xiaoxi asked.

"Your Highness, don't be surprised. The Queen Mother has an order that no one is allowed to get even half a step closer to Cining Palace!"

After the maid finished speaking, she continued to rush towards Su Xiaoxi.

"How outrageous! This princess can't be bullied by anyone!" As she said that, Su Xiaoxi had already left to meet the maid.

The maid had obviously practiced martial arts. Su Xiaoxi was forced to retreat after three moves.

Seeing Su Xiaoxi's embarrassed look, the maid smiled proudly. She was the Queen Mother's right-hand assistant and was highly skilled in martial arts.

But Su Xiaoxi was not bad either. After a fight, the two stopped.

"Hmph, you are lucky today." The maid said coldly.

"Did you just say that this was the Queen Mother's will?" Su Xiaoxi asked coldly.

"So what?" The maid raised her head arrogantly, "Your Highness, if you are sensible, please leave here! Otherwise..."

Before she finished speaking, Su Xiaoxi already understood, otherwise would she have to deal with herself?

Haha, Su Xiaoxi couldn't help but sneer.

She hasn't sought revenge from those people yet, but those people have come to her door themselves.

Su Xiaoxi's eyes flashed with a hint of sinisterness.

"Otherwise what?" Su Xiaoxi looked at the maid provocatively, her eyes sharp.

"Otherwise..." Before the maid could finish speaking, a coughing sound suddenly came from behind her.

The maid immediately fell silent and respectfully knelt down towards the source of the sound, "Slave, please see the Queen Mother!"

Su Xiaoxi turned her head and saw the Queen Mother, dressed in luxurious clothes, slowly walking towards her on crutches.

Although the Queen Mother is old, she is very energetic.

"The Ai family has been in poor health recently. I didn't expect the princess to come to the Ai family in person."

With that said, the Queen Mother walked to the stone table and sat down.

"Where does the Queen Mother feel uncomfortable?" Su Xiaoxi asked with concern.

"It's just an old problem." The Queen Mother said, waving her hand to the maid beside her to bring tea.

Su Xiaoxi said nothing, waiting for the maid to hand over the tea.

"Princess, you might as well try the plum soup newly cultivated by the Ai family." The Queen Mother said with a smile, as if she had forgotten that she was still embarrassing Su Xiaoxi just now.

Su Xiaoxi took the tray from the maid's hand and took a sip. "It's really sweet and refreshing, but it's just too sour."

"The Ai family specially asked the kitchen to add honey to make it taste like this. Princess can try it."

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxi picked up the tea cup and took another sip.

There is still a sour taste, but it is not as pungent.

"It really tastes good."

"As long as you like it." The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, then seemed to think of something, and warned Su Xiaoxi: "Eat less of this stuff, it will hurt your stomach."

Listening to the Queen Mother's words, Su Xiaoxi felt warm in her heart.

She knew that the Emperor's father must have sent someone to give this to the Queen Mother, but would the Queen Mother be so good?

Remember that when my mother-in-law was here, the Queen Mother wanted to kill herself, but now she is so enthusiastic?

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern." Su Xiaoxi said calmly, without revealing too much abnormality.

She doesn't like other people's attitudes towards her changing too quickly, especially those who so-called care about her, who are extremely hypocritical.

Su Xiaoxi's attitude made the Queen Mother even more angry.

But she couldn't vent. After all, she had a purpose for calling Su Xiaoxi here today.
