Empress dowager, the queen sighed

The shopkeeper was quite puzzled seeing the two chattering. Big men like to hug each other?

He didn't speak, Pei Yao broke free from the empress dowager's shackles, and stared at her eagerly, but the empress dowager ignored her, "We want the jade hairpin."

Pei Yao didn't know what she meant, and she didn't refute. The store took out more than a dozen types of jade hairpins and put them on the counter. The Empress Dowager shook her head: "No."

The store also took a new style, "This is the most fashionable in Luoyang City."

Pei Yao didn't seem to have any emotions, so did the Empress Dowager, both of them were expressionless, and the shopkeeper looked at them strangely, "Who do you two want to send?"

"wife."

"lover."

The shopkeeper laughed, both of them wanted to buy hairpins, he immediately greeted them enthusiastically, abandoned the jade hairpins, and took out some walking swings, the Empress Dowager glanced at them: "Both of them."

Pei Yao's eyes widened. The Empress Dowager has a lover outside?

The two had different thoughts, and the shopkeeper was happy when he sold the goods.The Empress Dowager asked the shopkeeper for a pen and paper, and wrote the names of people in each box where the Bu Yao was placed.

Looking at those names, Pei Yao's head ached, she quietly tugged on her cuff: "Do you have so many lovers out there?"

It's not enough to have her in the palace, and it's really lustful to have her in the palace.female.

Five or six pieces of paper, Pei Yao held in her hand, four girls from the Zhao family, and two from the Zhou family, she kindly reminded the Empress Dowager: "If you want to separate, you will be scolded by others."

The shopkeeper frowned when he heard the two whispering. Why did this gentleman send so many girls?

The Empress Dowager ignored Pei Yao, let alone the shopkeeper's eyes, and calmly wrote down the last few names, this time it was Mrs. Sun's. When she was writing, she looked at Pei Yao: "These people are all your cousins. sisters."

The old lady of the Zhao family raised three daughters, the eldest daughter raised two daughters, and the youngest daughter also had two daughters.

Pei Yao frowned, "Don't you feel bad about spending money?"

"The little empress dowager's money is here with Ai's family." The empress dowager smiled, "You are only allowed to cheat on Ai's family? Ai's family should also repay you."

Meng Qi wasn't at the tea shop at all, and the little queen mother's deception skills went up to the next level.

Pei Yao snorted, the Empress Dowager's eyes fell on a blood jade, she frowned, and reached out to take it.

The storekeeper looked at her concerned, and immediately said, "Your Majesty has good eyesight, this is a treasure, but there is a crack on it."

High-ranking officials pursue perfection, and jade with cracks is not good jade, and they look down on it.

The empress dowager's hand landed on the crack of the blood jade, she held it slowly, as if feeling a force, she pursed her lips and smiled, "I want it."

The last emperor gave her a blood jade back then, but smashed it in a dispute, so there was this crack.

The last emperor has a bad temper!

Pei Yao didn't care about the blood jade, but was busy calculating how much money was spent and how to earn it back.

The Empress Dowager put the blood jade into Pei Yao's green bamboo sachet, and said: "Bring it back to the palace, the Ai family won't need your money."

Pei Yao's eyes were bright, as bright as the stars, and she generously chose a white jade Buddha statue for the old lady, which was polished exquisitely, and it was very eye-catching at first glance.

The Empress Dowager was preoccupied, she followed Pei Yao into the carriage and arrived at the Zhao Mansion, but found that there were not many people coming to congratulate her.

Pei Yao was surprised, the Empress Dowager told her: "The Pei family has been sealed off, the Zhao family has not been implicated, but other people will take care of it."

"Then why is the Zhao family celebrating their birthday at this time?" Pei Yao looked at the Empress Dowager, her brows frowning slowly.

The Empress Dowager leaned against the wall of the car with a leisurely expression. Seeing that Pei Yao was worried, she reached out and lifted her chin, forcing her to look at herself: "She is going to celebrate her birthday, why do you ask Aijia?"

Pei Yao didn't know how to answer, she drooped her head and fell silent.

"Which mansion is this from?" Someone outside the door asked.

The empress dowager slowly tasted the frustration on the face of the little empress dowager, and said to the outside world: "It's from the Li family."

Lee's?Pei Yao thought about it carefully, the empress dowager's surname is Li, and she can be considered as belonging to the Li family.Pei Yao looked at the Empress Dowager, leaned over and kissed her on the face, "You belong to the Pei family."

The Empress Dowager sneered: "Why don't you say you belong to the Li family."

"No, I belong to Li Lexi, not from the Li family." Pei Yao felt awkward, the late emperor was also surnamed Li, so she didn't want to be from the Li family.

She struggled alone, the Empress Dowager let go of her, opened the curtain of the car, looked at the steward who came to inquire, and said, "Someone is coming from the Li family, let your adults come and pick them up."

Zhao Zhihui, the uncle of the Zhao family, works in the Ministry of Etiquette. When he meets Pei Ze, he has to call him Lord Marquis. However, there is no need to salute now.

Zhao Zhihui came soon, and walked to the front of the car curtain, beating a drum in his heart.Pei Yao poked her head out and smiled, "Master Zhao."

Zhao Zhihui had only seen Pei Yao at the Empress Liberation Ceremony, at that time Pei Yao had a phoenix crown and a xiapei, he had a glance at it from a distance, but he didn't see it clearly.

Goodbye this time, Pei Yao was wearing a robe, he still didn't know Pei Yao, so he subconsciously asked, "Who are you?"

"Pei Yao."

Zhao Zhihui's face changed drastically, he quickly knelt down to salute, and made a solemn obeisance, "I have seen the empress dowager."

"Master Zhao, get up." Pei Yao got out of the car by herself, took another look inside the car, pretended that there was no one inside, and smiled lightly with Zhao Zhihui: "I heard that the old lady is celebrating her birthday, so I am here. Strange."

The empress dowager in the car curled her lips when she heard such a passage, and the little empress dowager has also grown up and learned to talk nonsense.

Zhao Zhihui was so excited that he didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly ordered the steward, "Go and tell the old lady and madam, just say that the empress dowager is here."

Pei Yao curled her lips, and when she stepped up the steps, she glanced at the carriage, reluctant to part.

After entering the Zhao Mansion, the old lady greeted her quickly, "My little ancestor, what are you doing here?"

"Come out to pay respects to you, I see that the mansion is not very lively." Pei Yao glanced left and right, the structure of the Zhao mansion and the Pei mansion were quite different, she was puzzled, but remembered that her grandfather was the Grand Tutor.

Mrs. Zhao held Pei Yao's wrist, frowned and blamed: "Why are you dressed like this?"

"It's more convenient." Pei Yao suddenly lost interest, and the Empress Dowager was not around, so she always felt a little less fun.

Mrs. Zhao led Pei Yao back to her courtyard, followed by a large group of people. Compared with Pei's residence, Zhao's residence had more people and was more lively.

The little girls of the Zhao family followed behind, looking at Pei Yao's blue robe, envious, "My sister is so sassy."

"What sister, that's the queen mother." Mrs. Zhao stopped them, talking nonsense would cause trouble.The family didn't want to do it at first, but the Pei family had an accident, and their dissatisfaction would make the Empress Dowager unhappy, so they did it as usual.

It wasn't until today that I realized that the world is so hot and cold. The people I had good friends with on weekdays only gave congratulatory gifts, and no one came, so I just pretended to be a lively family.

A group of people went to the old lady's courtyard and sat down in line order. Pei Yao and the old lady sat on the top seat. The maid brought the white jade Buddha statue in. The old lady smiled and said, "It looks good."

Pei Yao shook her head, "The Empress Dowager asked me to send it."

"The Empress Dowager..."

"The Empress Dowager..."

"Really?" Mrs. Zhao finally showed a smile, and she refused to let go of Pei Yao's hand, "Did she blame the Zhao family?"

After the Pei family was confiscated, the Zhao family struggled, and even the brother-in-law Sun and Zhou were at a loss.

Pei Yao glanced at the crowd and said with a smile, "I have prepared some small gifts for the sisters."

Mrs. Zhao immediately understood, "You all go and have a look, go and have a look."

Everyone retreated, Mrs. Zhao closed the door, she was very preoccupied, but she saw the box in the maid's hand, took it to play with: "The Queen Mother came from Dongshi."

There is also the stamp of the store on it.

The Empress Dowager came out of the palace and went to Dongshi in a leisurely manner, which shows that the matter of the Pei family is not serious.

Pei Yao in the room whispered to the old lady, after talking for a while, the door opened, Pei Yao left in a hurry and did not stay for lunch.

Zhao Zhihui walked into the house and asked his mother, "What does the Queen Mother mean?"

"I want you to intercede for the Pei family, and don't be blindfolded in everything." Mrs. Zhao sighed.

Zhao Zhihui was stunned, Pei Ze's title was gone, and there was still room for him to turn around?

****

The Empress Dowager went to the National Teacher's Mansion.

After a fire at the National Teacher's Mansion, the bamboo forest at the entrance was burned down, and the formation was also burned down.

The servant led the Empress Dowager into the backyard. The one-handed Bailishu was fishing. The Empress Dowager approached slowly, "When did you get on line with Pei Min?"

"The empress can monopolize the power, and the ministers can also find helpers." Bailishu smiled slightly, using the old address in his mouth, looking at the empress dowager with sinister eyes.

The Empress Dowager didn't care about her hatred, she walked to Baili Shu's side as if nothing had happened, stared at the lake, and said, "The Ai family wants the elixir of longevity."

"The queen thinks too much. There are only two longevity medicines. The old thing was killed by me back then, and there is no prescription for making it. Besides, think about it, if I could make it again, I would have done it a long time ago, and you still need it? "

The Empress Dowager was still a little disappointed, and didn't ask any more questions, she just said: "As for the epidemic, the Ai family will treat it as if they didn't know it was you. If there is a next time, the Ai family will chop you up and feed them to the dogs."

"What's the use of the empress being cruel to me at this time? When Chu Yuan died, why didn't you kill the people of the Li family?" Bailishu said, the fishing rod in his hand moved, and the fish took the bait.

The fishing rod was thrown out of the lake, and a fish fell on the ground, jumping around alive and well. In an instant, the fish died and was nailed to the ground by a single step.

Bailishu's face changed slightly, and the Empress Dowager smiled, "The national teacher forgot, the Ai family is not a good person. It's okay if you don't have one, Pei Min will die, and Ling Chi will be executed. I invite you to come and watch the punishment, and I will also give the national teacher Reminder, the person who moved her will slowly torture her to death for the rest of her life."

"If the little queen mother knows that you are so ruthless, will she scare her away?" Bailishu quickly came to his senses, threw the bait out of the lake again, and waited for the next fish to take the bait.

"So what if you know, the Ai family does things openly and aboveboard." The Empress Dowager stood with her hands behind her back, with a flat smile on her lips.

Bailishu had to face up to the purpose of her visit today, "Empress, you came here to warn the ministers?"

"Just drop by and visit an old friend."

"You can go back."

The Empress Dowager didn't care too much, she glanced at the dead fish on the ground and smiled.

When he turned around, Bailishu said again: "I watch the stars at night, the great Han Dynasty will change hands within a hundred days."

The Empress Dowager ignored her and left.

When Pei Yao left the Zhao Mansion, there was no carriage outside the mansion. She waited for a while, but still saw no one, so she stopped waiting and walked slowly towards the palace gate.

The Zhao residence is four or five squares away from the palace, and it takes an hour or two to walk there. Pei Yao is familiar with the way, touched the sachet on her waist, and walked slowly.

After stepping out of Zhao Mansion, there were more pedestrians and people. Pei Yao got used to it and didn't care about other people's eyes, so she took a shortcut and went to the market.

A new Cuiyuan was opened on the side of the street, and many actors from Jiangnan came to sing Jiangnan operas.

It happened to be noon, there were many people in Cuiyuan, Pei Yao was tired from walking, so she stopped by to sit inside.

As soon as she entered, the waiter came to entertain her politely. Pei Yao was dressed in a fine dress with a jade belt on her waist, and she looked like a child of an aristocratic family.The waiter noticed her uniqueness from her clothes, and greeted her very warmly.

The running hall led Pei Yao to the best spot, and the stage was the closest.

After Pei Yao sat down, the waiter asked her what she wanted.Pei Yao thought for a while, "As long as there is meat, serve all the meat here."

The waiter answered and ran very fast.

Pei Yao grabbed a handful of fruit on the table and ate it, there were many people waiting around, some of them had already eaten it, the smell of meat and wine aroused the glutton in Pei Yao's stomach.

The waiter soon filled the entire table with all kinds of meat, Pei Yao fished out some money from his pocket and handed it to him, "Your reward."

The waiter was so happy and asked what else he needed, Pei Yao shook her head and ate by herself.

After a while, the play started, and the audience applauded. Pei Yao raised her head and glanced at it, and then lowered her head to eat the meat.

There was rabbit meat today, she liked it very much and ate a lot.

The repertoire is newly edited, and the emperor of Qi molested his elder sister-in-law.The one playing the role of the emperor is a woman with red lips and white teeth, and exquisite facial features. Every tune is very interesting, and the tune is tactful.

After everyone watched and cursed, Pei Yao finally looked up for a second time and saw the woman playing the role of 'Sister-in-Law', she couldn't bear to say: "Sister-in-Law is so ugly, who wants it?"

The people around laughed after hearing it, and the people on the field couldn't continue singing. The "emperor" looked fine, but the "eldest sister-in-law" was blushing and stumbled when she was talking.

She was stumbling, but the 'Emperor' still tuned in disdain.Playing her, the people in the audience didn't buy it one after another, and let the "eldest sister-in-law" go down one after another.

Helpless, the play was halfway through and was forced to stop, the two hurried down, and Pei Yao finally had enough to eat, she straightened her waist, very satisfied.

At the end of the first song, there will be a second song, which is about the founding princess of the Han Dynasty recruiting a son-in-law.

It is a pleasure for a princess to recruit a consort, and the facial features of the actor who plays the 'princess' are quite amazing, so Pei Yao can't help but take a look.

Xiao Langjun off the court stared at her, and the people on the stage also smiled at her. The shyness and surprise made people even more charming.

"Does it look good?"

Suddenly a voice sounded, interrupting Pei Yao.

The Empress Dowager looked at the empty plates on the table, "It's fine to eat in the palace, but you won't save face outside?"

Pei Yao snorted, and suddenly gongs and drums were beating on the stage, entering the bridal chamber, the Empress Dowager raised her eyes, "What play?"

"The princess recruits a son-in-law." Pei Yao explained.

The Empress Dowager's eyes stared at the 'son-in-law', "Which princess recruits a son-in-law?"

"I don't know, I just reported my name, but I didn't hear it clearly." Pei Yao thought about it carefully, she was only focused on eating meat, and forgot to listen, but she knew a little bit, "It seems to be the founding princess of the big man."

"I pay my respects to Your Royal Highness the Princess..."

"My son-in-law, raise your head..."

The son-in-law on the stage lifted the princess's red hijab, Pei Yao raised her head, and a familiar name flashed in her mind: "Li Lexi, hey, it's the same name as yours."

"Same name." The Empress Dowager sat down beside Pei Yao, her eyes swept across the messy table, "Are you full?"

"I'm full, do you want to eat? What do you want to eat?" Pei Yao sneered, feeling embarrassed, covering her cheeks with both hands, feeling shy.

The Empress Dowager didn't answer, because the princess consort on the stage had gone to the bridal chamber, she sneered a few times, these actors are really ignorant.

Pei Yao asked to herself, "Do you eat noodles?"

"Eat noodles." The Empress Dowager spoke slowly, staring at the two people on the stage, tapped the table with her fingertips, a little impatient.

The second track is over.

Pei Yao still didn't know what to say, so she ordered two bowls of chicken noodle from the same running hall, and asked to put more meat.

The Empress Dowager looked at her after hearing this: "How much meat do you want to eat?"

Pei Yao glared at her: "I'm still growing."

The great empress dowager laughed, the little empress dowager was on the verge of dying, and she was still thinking about growing up all day long, which was very beautiful.

The third track is a folk story, the scholar and the beautiful woman.

Pei Yao concentrated on eating the noodles, but the Empress Dowager was absent-minded, she put it down after eating two chopsticks of noodles, and told Pei Yao: "Wait for Ai's family to come back."

Pei Yao was at a loss, but chose to nod.

The Empress Dowager went backstage to find the head of the class, "Who wrote the book about recruiting a son-in-law?"

The class leader was a little surprised to see the unfamiliar Lang Jun. This is a story praising the Han Dynasty, and it is not illegal. He said boldly, "It was compiled by a scholar in Jiangnan."

"Where are people?" The Empress Dowager asked softly.

The class leader shook his head: "He didn't go to Beijing with us."

"The two who played the role of the princess son-in-law just now drove out of Cuiyuan, and wrote down what the book looked like and where they lived." The empress dowager's eyes were cold, and an extra dagger was in her hand. The next one was a faint bloodstain.

The class leader was frightened, and he covered his neck and was about to shout, but the dagger flew back and landed in the hands of the Empress Dowager, and when he opened his mouth, it was placed on his neck again, "Shh, don't shout, my knife is not Long eyes."

Everyone who was putting on makeup was trembling with fright.

"Write, write, I'll write right away..." The head teacher trembled all over, and said, "That man is handsome and weak..."

****

Pei Yao didn't see the Empress Dowager until the show ended, so she tried to go out by herself, and saw a carriage outside Cuiyuan, the driver stepped forward to meet her.

"Where's the Empress Dowager?" Pei Yao asked.

"The Empress Dowager hasn't come out yet, why don't you wait a little longer." The coachman replied, he watched the Empress Dowager go in with his own eyes, but he didn't see her come out.

Pei Yao had no choice but to get in the car and wait, all the people in Cuiyuan had left and the store was closed.

After another quarter of an hour, the empress dowager came out slowly, and the leader followed her, bowing his head, as if facing a living ancestor.

Pei Yao tsk-tsk, no matter where Miss Li goes, she is always the most domineering.

The empress dowager boarded the carriage, the class leader sighed, Pei Yao looked at him, "What did you do?"

"Seeing that he was not feeling well, he gave him a beating." The Empress Dowager rubbed her wrist, and glanced at the little Empress Dowager, "Do you think Aijia is very powerful?"

Pei Yao shook her head, "No, I just think you're stupid."

The Empress Dowager asked, "Why?"

Pei Yao looked at her like a fool: "Why don't you have subordinates?"

"My own affairs can be resolved by myself, unlike the queen mother, who eats shrimp and has to be peeled by the emperor." The empress dowager sneered, these days, she has raised a white-eyed wolf.

Pei Yao felt ashamed and felt that she should give the Empress Dowager face, so she flattered her: "After returning to the palace, I will cook and peel shrimp for the Empress Dowager, okay?"

The Empress Dowager fell silent.

Dusk has come, and the red glow of the setting sun rolled up in the east. Danqing splashed ink with his hand, and the sky gradually darkened again.

One day after the empress dowager left the palace, the emperor sent people to look for it three times, and there were many memorials accumulated on the case files. She wanted to review them, but found that she couldn't handle them at all.

Reviewing the memorials does not sound like a difficult task. The emperor did it with confidence, but found that many problems in the memorials were very difficult, and it was not just a matter of casual reading.

The emperor came to find the empress dowager with memorials, but without thinking, he went out of the palace.She went to find the queen dejectedly again, but was blocked again.

Depressedly, the emperor returned to the Xuanshi Palace, alone and helpless. After sitting for a long time, the palace servants sent word that the queen mother had returned.

As if hearing the happiest thing, the emperor immediately rushed to Weiyang Palace.

Pei Yao was kneading dough in the kitchen, the emperor walked in and took a look, "Queen Mother, what are you doing?"

"Make noodles."

The emperor glanced at the empress dowager's slender hands kneading the noodles non-stop, and felt that she was too tired, so he wanted to help when his forehead got hot: "Empress dowager, I will help you."

"Have you finished reading the emperor's memorial?" A familiar voice suddenly sounded from the corner.

The emperor's heart trembled, and he looked towards the place where the voice came from, "The Empress Dowager." Her tongue was trembling, and she didn't dare to look at him.

The Empress Dowager stood up, straightened her skirt, and calmly walked in front of the emperor, "Have you brought the memorial?"

The emperor was flattered, "I let people go and get it."

"Go." The empress dowager said pitifully, her eyes fell on Pei Yao's hands kneading the noodles, "Your queen has worked hard, the noodles need to be firmer, and the noodles without chewy taste are not good. Remember to peel it in advance and put it on the bottom of the bowl, the Ai family is afraid that the emperor will be jealous."

"Jealous? Does Your Majesty need jealousy when eating noodles?" Pei Yao didn't understand what she meant.

The Empress Dowager glanced at Pei Yao, and walked over directly, with a deep smile on her face.

She lifted Pei Yao's lower jaw, and kissed the soft corners of her lips without warning. She imitated Pei Yao's movements, touching left and kissing right.

Pei Yao's breath became disordered, her hands were stained with flour, otherwise she would have hugged her long ago.

Seeing her enjoyment, the Empress Dowager felt a little joy in her heart, and said, "Are you happy?"

Pei Yao didn't know what she meant, she nodded dully: "Happy."

The Empress Dowager said again: "It can make you happier at night."

Pei Yao didn't believe it anymore, the Empress Dowager had practiced evil skills, so she had no desires.Looking forward to it, just like now, with pink bubbles on her head coming to tease her, I don't know what kind of weird thoughts are in it.

"Don't you believe the Queen Mother?" The Empress Dowager took a step forward, her toes touching her toes, and they fit together seamlessly.

Pei Yao looked down at the toes of the two, feeling a strange feeling in her heart, she grabbed each other's wrist, and the cuffs were stained with flour.

The Empress Dowager didn't take it seriously, and even looked at her calmly, "Pei Yao, you have to believe that I like you."

Pei Yao was stunned, "Did you eat too much candy today? Why are you talking so sweet?"

The author has something to say: Empress Dowager: Is Aijia cool?

Pei Yao: Narcissism.

It's late tonight, I can't make it up, I have to post it.
