The little eunuch gl of the demon queen

Yao Xi still hasn't recovered from the shock.She remembered that day in the Ning'an Palace, the Empress Dowager pointed at the big fire in front of her and asked her with a smile if she had ever seen such a big fire... At that moment, she really felt that she was Baosi, and the empress was a feudal lord The illusion of the faint king Zhou Youwang.

But after all, the fire empress did not set it off for her, but the long street in front of her that can't be seen at a glance is really specially prepared by empress for her. "But why?" Yao Xi was puzzled.If Niangniang built this street just because she wanted to go shopping, she would definitely not say it was for her.

"Because." Wan Yu stood on the brightly lit long street, looked at Yao Xi's face flushed by the lights, hesitated for a long time before saying: "The Ai family really can't leave you, even for a moment, you don't know How hard it was for Aijia during the two hours you were out of the palace. If you like the bustle of the market outside the palace, then we will build one in the palace. If you like storytelling, then say in the palace that Aijia can be in the palace. The palace will build you the largest teahouse in Daxing, anyway, the people in the palace are very boring..."

Wan Yu is that kind of stubborn, and she will never show weakness to others.But in front of Yao Xi, she didn't want to hide her fragility.She is just a mortal, she will be sad, sad, angry, and lost. She used to kill and set fire without changing her face, but recently, for some reason, she has become more and more sentimental.

After hearing this, Yao Xi couldn't help crying and threw himself into the arms of the empress dowager.She came out of the palace not because she was greedy for the hustle and bustle outside the palace, nor because she wanted to tell stories, she really just wanted to earn a lot of money with her own ability and give it to the empress. The empress is in charge.

She just didn't expect that her short-term departure from the palace would make the empress so uncomfortable, let alone that the empress would make such a big commotion in order to prevent her from leaving the palace.The person she loves is the empress dowager after all!Obviously, a Yi decree can keep her by his side.

"I won't go out, and I won't leave my mother for half a moment from now on." Yao Xi cried bitterly and nestled in the empress dowager's arms.Her little persistence is not worth mentioning in front of the empress's sorrow, so what's wrong with An Xin being doted on by the empress?I always think about being self-reliant, but in the final analysis it is because of inferiority complex.Being able to be the empress's canary, she is lucky for three lifetimes!

"Why are you crying?" Wan Yu took out a handkerchief and wiped away Yao Xi's tears.

Yao Xi cried and said in a strong nasal voice: "Happy." After crying for a while, he suddenly raised his head and said, "But is it really okay for the empress to do this? The emperor and the ministers..."

Wan Yu took Yao Xi into her arms with a sneer, and comforted her, "Don't say that all the mourners on this street paid their money, but if they didn't, no one would dare to say anything." What can be said, all officials dare not say anything, unless someone who is tired of work wants to follow in Zhu Xiangchang's footsteps.

Uh... Yao Xi stopped crying, got up from the empress dowager's arms and looked around.Did everything on this street cost money?So are they here to move or to go shopping?

"Let's go. Go shopping with Ai's house. You can buy whatever you like." Wan Yu held Yao Xi's little hand and said.

Yao Xi saw that the empress dowager was so happy, and he didn't want to say bad words to spoil the fun.Alas, just move when you move!

"Your Majesty, I remember that there were originally people living in these palaces, like Qin Meiren and Li Guiren?" Yao Xi couldn't help asking when he accompanied the Empress Dowager into the woodwork workshop opened by the Imperial Prison.

"Oh. Ai's family told them to move overnight, anyway, there are plenty of vacant places in the palace." Wan Yu picked up a round wooden tray for dim sum and placed it next to Yao Xi's little head, compared it, and smiled. He said: "Xiao Yaozi, this plate is as big as your face, it's a coincidence, why don't we buy it?"

"Yeah." Yao Xi smiled and nodded.In fact, she was a little embarrassed. After all, she also worked in the Siyuan Bureau for a year or two, and knew many people in the 24 Yamen. It is no exaggeration to say that there are many familiar faces on this street today.It's really hard to get into the drama to see the famous and respectable characters in the various yamen pretending to be shopkeepers here!It's like playing house.

"My servant waits to greet the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is blessed and safe." When the people in the woodware shop saw that the Empress Dowager was leading Eunuch Yao, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Wan Yu's face turned cold, and she looked down at the eunuchs and said, "Has no one told you? After entering this street, there are no masters and slaves. You are the shopkeepers, and Ai's family is the shopper. Do you even treat this little errand as your own?" It's not good?"

The eunuchs looked at each other, this is really a dilemma!Being disrespectful to your mother is a capital offense, and disobedience is also a capital offense...

Yao Xi persuaded the people who were at a loss and said: "Everyone just follow what the empress says."

"Slaves and others would like to obey the Queen Mother's order." Everyone stood up and continued to play their respective roles.

"How much silver is this plate?" Wan Yu asked the shopkeeper.She wasn't embarrassed at all, on the contrary, she felt very fresh.She was born into a wealthy family, and she hadn't done much shopping in person before she left the court, let alone after entering the palace, and she just had a good time today.

The shopkeeper is the eunuch who is in charge of the imperial supervisor. When he heard the question from the empress dowager, he didn't know how to answer it.The things in each yamen are specially for the palace, so where is the price?But when the Empress Dowager asked, he didn't dare not answer, so he had to say: "You can see and give it."

Wan Yu threw away the plate and said with an unhappy expression: "Who does business like you do? Look at it? Then Aijia just take it away and don't give money, can't you?"

"Okay, okay." The shopkeeper broke out in a cold sweat.He shouldn't have come, if it wasn't for the palm prints of other yamen, he wouldn't have come here to seek death.

"Do it, you big-headed ghost!" Wan Yu lost her spirits, and she loudly ordered the "man" in the shop: "Pass the order of Ai's family, all the shops and stalls on this street will be given to Ai's family to play. Whoever dares to spoil Ai's family's interest again, do it wisely!" After speaking with a cold face, he picked up a wooden incense stick and asked the shopkeeper, "How much money is this?"

"Two...two taels?" The shopkeeper's voice was trembling with fright.He just said casually, in terms of price, the workmanship of this incense seat is worth more than ten taels of silver in the market.He is not afraid that the accounts in the yamen will not be reconciled. Although the empress dowager has a temper, she is still considerate of the people below. The empress has already given money to the yamen for everything on the street.In fact, the empress do not need to give it. After all, the things in the palace are not the things of the empress dowager and the emperor's house?

Wan Yu was about to take out the money when she suddenly realized that she came empty-handed...

How could she carry money with her when she was fine in the palace?Not to mention money, for the convenience of talking to Yao Xi, he didn't even bring the waiter with him.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, Wan Yu wanted to pay but couldn't pay, the shopkeeper saw the embarrassment of the empress dowager but dared not refuse.

"Suddenly I don't want it anymore!" Wan Yu threw down the incense seat with a "slap", and led Yao Xi to go outside: "Let's go see another house."

After leaving the woodware shop, there are stalls selling sugar paintings outside.

Yao Xi was so happy that he pulled the Empress Dowager to the front and said, "My Lady, shall we buy one?"

Wan Yu is worried.She really doesn't have a word on her body!She didn't bring anyone to serve, if she brought someone, usually the person who served would bring some reward silver with her, so that she could reward people anytime and anywhere.

"Buy!" Wan Yu smiled at Yao Xi and said, "Then you pick paintings here, and Ai's shop for woodware, and buy the plate you fancy at first."

The eunuch, the palm print eunuch of the imperial prison, saw that the queen mother had left, and thought that he had successfully escaped a catastrophe.Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the Empress Dowager would be back again... What is this auntie doing back again?The palm print eunuch felt cold.

Wan Yu is here to rob.She didn't want Yao Xi's mood to be spoiled because of not bringing any money, since she was here for shopping, she should look like she was shopping, and she would never break her promise to take things here for nothing.But ordering someone to go back to get the money would take a while, so she couldn't wait with Yao Xiqian, could she?

"Come here!" Wan Yu called the shopkeeper to her face.

"Yes." The shopkeeper quickly came out from behind the counter.

Wan Yu ordered in a low voice, "Take out all the money you have on your body now!"

"Are you now... the empress dowager or a customer?" The shopkeeper was a little divided, and he really didn't understand what the empress dowager was up to.The empress didn't bring any silver and just ordered someone to go back to get it, why would she ask him for it?He was afraid that the empress was trying to see if he was good enough for the show.

"Queen!" Wan Yu spread her hands impatiently and said, "Hurry up."

"The slave obeys the order!"

Yao Xi was engrossed in watching the master making sugar paintings, when suddenly the voice of the Empress Dowager came from beside her: "How many did you pick?"

"Two. One is already ready." Yao Xi handed the finished one to the Queen Mother and said.

"Why don't you have one of each kind of painting?" Wan Yu, who had just robbed the seal of the imperial supervisor, said confidently.

Yao Xi went over and gently hugged the Empress Dowager's arm and said, "I can't eat that much!"

After buying sugar paintings, the two continued to stroll around happily.Wan Yu asked Yao Xi on a whim: "You have to bargain when you buy something, should we try it at the next one?"

Yao Xi licked the sugar painting and gave the Empress Dowager a white look.My naive and lovely lady, who dares to haggle over the price with you seriously?Isn't it what you say?

So Yao Xi was forced to witness the most embarrassing bargaining she had ever seen.

Wan Yu picked up a box of incense powder at the rouge shop and asked, "How much money is this?"

Li Shangfu from the Shangfu Bureau said respectfully: "This box of incense powder is ten taels of silver." The people from the imperial prison had already come to say hello, so she had to set prices for all kinds of offerings and treasures.There are hundreds of taels of incense powder, but only ten taels of silver in the big sale.

Wan Yu looked at Yao Xi and smiled, then turned around and asked Li Shangfu, "Can you sell it for two taels of silver?" She wanted to give a very low price, and then enjoy the fun of slowly increasing the price.

Li Shangfu was stunned.Empress Dowager, what is this new way of playing?

"Sell!" Let alone two taels, she wouldn't dare not sell it even for two dollars!

"..." Wan Yu said with a cold face: "Then what if it's one tael? What about one penny?"

Yao Xi knew that the empress dowager was about to get angry again, so he hurriedly took out two taels of silver from the money the empress gave her to buy things and handed it to Li Shangfu, "We want the fragrance powder. Please wrap it up."

***

The sky is getting brighter, and the market is getting more and more lively.

There wasn't much fun in the palace, seeing the excitement here, all the concubines and princesses came here.The young princes and princesses were running and frolicking, and the shop stalls started business seriously under the order of the empress dowager, and slowly they really took on the appearance of a street market.

Emperor Ming Cheng, who had just finished the morning court, also came, but he didn't come to go shopping and join in the fun.There was such a commotion in the palace that all the officials heard the wind last night. Several loyal officials who were dedicated to Daxing risked their lives to advise him not to indulge the Demon Queen anymore.The late emperor's edict was also brought up, and some people even said that if the late emperor knew that the empress dowager Wan had brought disaster to the country, he would not have left that paper edict.

He wanted to discuss this matter with Wan Yu, and it would be better to withdraw the market as soon as possible, so as not to lose people's tongue.

After entering the market, Emperor Ming Cheng stopped in front of a small stall selling needlework accessories. He wanted to ask where the Empress Dowager was.

"What do you want for the guest officer?" The stall owner played the role responsibly.The Empress Dowager issued an order to let them enter the play, he dared not refuse!

guest officer?Emperor Ming Cheng thought he had heard wrong. "Don't you know me?" Is it hard to recognize him as the only grown man in the palace?

The stall owner explained in a low voice: "I beg your majesty to forgive me. The servants can only follow the order of the empress dowager." He pointed to the back of Emperor Cheng.Between the bad-tempered empress dowager and the good-tempered emperor, he would rather dare to offend the emperor.

Emperor Ming Cheng turned his head and saw that the Empress Dowager was leading her little boy Yao Xi out of the jewelry store.
