Queen Mother, she just wants to lie down

Ruan Qing...

Duke Wu was in charge of the center together with his left and right ministers, his daughter was the queen, and his eldest son was the border general guarding one side.

The other two daughters were also married to local important officials, plus in-laws and people attached to the royal family.

In terms of power, in the huge court, apart from Princess Ronghua, there is probably no other person who can compare with the Wang family.

In addition, Queen Wang is now pregnant with a dragon child. If the Wang family wants to make any request at this time, neither the emperor nor she will be able to refuse.

Speaking of which, the Ruan family and the Wang family are both relatives, but compared with the Wang family, the Ruan family is not even qualified to carry their shoes.

Ruan Qing, who carefully reviewed the power of the Wang family, felt that his head was as big as a bucket and he was restless.

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother?" Queqing saw that the Queen Mother had been in a daze after hearing what he said, and couldn't help but call out worriedly.

"Oh, I was thinking about something and got distracted. Let's go back to the palace." The irritable Ruan Qing pushed these things out of his mind and prepared to go back to Cining Palace to enjoy some delicious food and take a nap.

As for the messy and troublesome things, let’s figure them out after we wake up.

"Xia Li, ask Aunt Zhou to make a pot of ginseng, wolfberry and black tea." Ruan Qing told Xia Li when he entered.

Grandma Zhou is good at making good tea.

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Two quarters of an hour later, Nanny Zhou came over with a steaming pot of ginseng, wolfberry and black tea.

"Mommy's tea art is getting better and better. The fragrance of tea can be heard even from a long distance away."

Ruan Qing, who was half-leaning on the soft couch, looked at the pot on the table in front of him that was still bubbling with aroma and steam, and praised it.

"Your Majesty, thank you very much." Grandma Zhou replied humbly.

"Bring me a cup of tea and come over and try it."

"Yes."

Aunt Zhou respectfully poured a cup of tea for Ruan Qing and took out a small cup from the tea tray.

After pouring two sips of eight-percent full tea into the small cup, she drank the two sips of tea before passing the cup of tea to Ruan Qing.

Ruan Qing glanced at Nanny Zhou. She was indeed a person who had served the late emperor. She was indeed a fastidious person.

She drank two cups of tea, ate two cakes, walked into the bedroom, and took a nap.

In the past few days, I couldn't sleep well at night because of Wang Luo's incident.

When she woke up and had just put on her clothes, Liang Fan came in: "Queen Mother, Duke Wu and Prime Minister Gu are here to visit."

"Duke Wu Guo and Prime Minister Gu are here together?" Ruan Qing was stunned.

"Yes."

"Let them go to the West Guest Hall, and let Aunt Zhou make a pot of ginseng, wolfberry and black tea to send over. The Ai family will be there soon," Ruan Qing said.

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Ruan Qing washed his face with warm water, woke up his head, changed his clothes, and then slowly went to the west hall.

"I have met the Queen Mother." When the two saw Ruan Qing coming, they immediately stepped forward to salute.

"Without courtesy, please sit down. You are both busy people with many things to do. How come you have time to come to the Cining Palace of the Ai family?" Ruan Qing's eyes turned around the two of them, waved his hands, and said.

"I saw the Arabic numeral accounting method from Cui Shangshu and came here specifically to ask the Queen Mother for advice. I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me for being presumptuous." Gu Xiang said with a smile.

"Oh, this is not a secret that cannot be passed on. Since I gave it to Cui Shangshu, it means that the courtiers can use it. If you want to use it or if you don't understand anything, just ask Cui Shangshu." Ruan Qing did not. Care about the way.

"I want to ask the Queen Mother for a request." Wu Guogong waited for the two to finish speaking before speaking.

Ruan Qing was about to talk, and at this moment, Grandma Zhou came over with brewed tea.

Liang Fan took the tray and quickly poured a cup for everyone present. After pouring the tea, he took two small sips from a small cup to taste before placing it in front of the three of them.

"The freshly brewed ginseng and wolfberry black tea is perfect for this season. Try it."

Ruan Qing first picked up the food in front of him and took a sip before speaking to the two of them.

The two took a sip from their cups.

"It tastes good. I'm old. Every winter, my favorite drink is ginseng and wolfberry black tea. However, the one I brew is not as delicious as the one brewed by the Queen Mother." Gu Xiang said, stroking his beard.

"Mr. Gu is being too modest. You are well-known among the courtiers for being good at tea. Are you so humble? Are you afraid that the Ai family will drink tea from you?" Ruan Qing answered with a smile.

"The Queen Mother has wronged me. If you are willing to honor me and have time to rest some other day, I will invite the Queen Mother to tea."

"This is what Prime Minister Gu said, don't let the Ai family go. Wu Qing, you just said you wanted to ask for a decree from the Ai family. I wonder what it is?" Ruan Qing smiled and then turned his attention to Wu Guogong.

"I would like to ask the Queen Mother for a request to sit in and interrogate the dog. This request should have been requested from Your Majesty.

It’s just that my daughter is the Queen of the Middle Palace, and she has just been found to be pregnant. Any request I make to His Majesty at this time will be easily misunderstood..." Wu Guogong spoke carefully.

Ruan Qing did not answer immediately. She looked at Wu Guogong quietly. After about half a cup of tea, she slowly spoke:

"Wu Qing is too outspoken. As a father, it is human nature to care about your children.

Besides, you just want to observe the interrogation, and you don't want to interfere with the case. There is nothing to avoid. I'm sorry about this.

Not only did he agree, but the Ai family would also attend. If the young master is found innocent, the law will definitely give him justice. "

"Your Majesty, if there is extra space, I would also like to attend the meeting." Gu Xiangshi interrupted.

As soon as he said this, Ruan Qing and Wu Guogong turned to look at him at the same time.

"No?" Gu Xiang looked confused.

"How could it be? This matter is now making a big fuss and attracts the attention of the whole world. All the important officials of the imperial court should be present to observe it.

We must ensure that this case is fair and transparent and can be explained to the world candidly.

If Wang Luo is innocent, his reputation can be restored in front of the people of the world, Wu Qing, are the Ai family right?"

"That's what the Queen Mother said." Wu Guogong was silent for a moment before speaking.

When he left Cining Palace and returned to Duke Guo's Mansion, Duke Wu looked very unhappy.

When his wife Fan heard that he was back, she came over immediately and said, "Master, I heard that Miao'er is pregnant?"

"Ah."

"Miao'er's pregnancy is such a great joy. Why do you look so ugly?" Mrs. Fan asked with a bit of surprise.

"After I learned that the Queen was pregnant, I went to the Queen Mother specifically to ask for permission to attend Luo'er's trial."

"What did the Queen Mother say?"

"She agreed and decided that on that day, she would also attend the ceremony in person. In addition, she also asked all the important officials of the court to attend on that day."

"The Queen Mother is not prepared to pardon Luo'er at all. Miao'er has just become pregnant with Long Si. She, how can she be so cruel and not leave any favor to Miao'er..." Mrs. Fan's face turned pale and her chest was blocked. It hurts faintly.
