Chapter 922 The Emperor Finally Lost His Breath

But fourth master is a person who can hide his emotions a lot, but he just said with a normal expression: "The emperor's mother praised me a lot, and the queen just did what should be done, and fulfilled the duty that a junior should do."

"That's what I said, but I'm just a woman after all. After a long time, there are times when I can't bear it. No, maybe I'm tired. When I went to Ai's house to say hello today, I didn't look very good. Let her go back to the house to rest."

Hearing this, Aunt Cui on the side suppressed her laughter, laughing in her heart.

It turns out that the queen mother asked the queen to copy the scriptures behind closed doors for this to come out.

In this way, I don't believe that the emperor doesn't feel bad!

At this moment, a trace of indescribable strange emotion finally appeared on Fourth Master's handsome face.

Moreover, he didn't sit for long, he just found an excuse and left.

After Fourth Master left, Concubine De smiled triumphantly: "Look, the emperor finally can't hold his breath anymore."

"But the slave didn't see any difference between the emperor and the usual." Isn't he still with a cold face, always indifferent?

"What do you know, when the queen was here often, he came to Ai's house to say hello, and he sat there for a long time, and he could drink a few cups of tea. These days, the queen didn't show up, so he just found excuses I left. Now that I heard that the queen is tired, her expression changed instantly."

As she said that, the queen mother snorted and said, "Just wait and see, the emperor will call Fourteen back in a short time."

"The empress dowager is still wise." Aunt Cui echoed with a smile.

However, the queen mother waited and waited, but she didn't get any news from the fourteenth master.

Originally, she thought that the emperor would do something that day.

But five or six days in a row have passed, let alone the fourteenth master is still guarding the funeral.

Even the days when fourth master came to Yonghe Palace to pay his respects were not so frequent.

The Queen Mother was so angry that she couldn't even eat, and smashed several plates and bowls.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager was sitting at the Eight Immortals table in the room.

Meals and soup were scattered on the table.

Porcelain was thrown all over the floor, and it was a mess.

Aunt Cui and her servants knelt in the room, trembling and afraid to speak.

After a long time, the Queen Mother sent away the slaves, leaving only Aunt Cui alone.

"Queen Mother, it's been several days. Why hasn't the Emperor sent Brother Fourteen back to the palace, and he didn't say to send the Queen back to Yongshou Palace?"

"At this point, the emperor will naturally not be in a hurry." The queen mother snorted coldly and said, "Because there are spies in our house."

"There are spies? Then should we call all the servants here? If there is something suspicious, it will be sent to Xin Zheku."

"What's the use? The whole world belongs to the emperor. He wants to plant eyeliner around Ai's family. Do you think you can clean it up?" The Queen Mother knows this point better than anyone else.

Even if the spies are caught this time, there will still be more in the future.

After all, no one has more power than the emperor.

"But didn't you say last time that the emperor heard that the queen was exhausted, and his attitude was different, but last time we were lying, this time it's better to really let the queen suffer, maybe the emperor will be anxious .”

"The same method cannot be used a second time, otherwise a rational person like the emperor will not believe it again."

"Then what shall we do?"

"Don't worry, the Ai family has their own ideas." The Empress Dowager's eyes narrowed suddenly, as if she had an idea, "Go and ask, and see if the emperor will take a rest and invite him to the Yonghe Palace of the Ai family. , don’t sit down every time, and people will leave.”

Although even Xiu Mu, the emperor is busy.

But it's more leisurely than the days of going to court.

After about a stick of incense, Aunt Cui went back to the house and reported: "My servant has found out, three days later, it will be the day for the emperor to rest and take a bath, and I have asked someone to greet the emperor in advance."

The Empress Dowager gave a faint "Yes" and said, "Okay, you go to the Empress's place and tell her not to copy scriptures anymore."

"yes."

Three days later, although Fourth Master had already received the Queen Mother's invitation.

But he has a business to do, so it is impossible for him to rush to the Yonghe Palace early in the morning.

Instead, he intends to finish reviewing the memorial at hand before going to the Yonghe Palace.

In the Yonghe Palace, Ruoyin and the queen mother had meals, drank tea, and chatted for a while as usual.

When it was dusk, Ruoyin went back to the house and asked the servant to take a bath.

After taking a bath, she changed into plain lotus-colored clothes, supported Mother Liu's hand, and went to the main hall.

Ready to wait to have dinner with the Queen Mother.

Because the Empress Dowager told her a few days ago that she would have dinner with her tonight.

But she had just arrived at the main hall, and the empress dowager's experienced eyes were looking her all over.

In the end, he kept staring at her face and frowned unhappily.

After sitting down, Ruoyin touched her face, and asked in surprise, "Emperor Niang, could it be that the concubine's makeup is inappropriate?"

Or...she violated some taboo with her dress, which made the Queen Mother unhappy.

When asking questions, Ruoyin looked down at his outfit.

No, since she arrived at the Empress Dowager's Yonghe Palace, she hasn't put on much makeup.

Even the makeup is very light makeup.

Clothes never wear too bright colors.

It's not apricot, it's lotus root color, pine flower green and so on.

After all, this is the law of survival for a daughter-in-law in front of her mother-in-law.

In front of my men, I can dress better.

But in front of her mother-in-law, she naturally had to dress up well and behave according to her duties.

Because there is a generation gap between the younger generation and the older generation.

Especially in this feudal Qing Dynasty, the queen mother was still a difficult mother-in-law.

She is also a queen, so she can't give the queen mother the impression of being a vixen, otherwise she will have to eat and walk around.

It turned out that the queen mother detained her here because of the secret passage in the hidden mansion.

If she still dresses up too much, the queen mother will definitely feel that she is delaying the emperor's rule of the country.

Just as Ruoyin was thinking this way, she heard the queen mother above her say lightly: "Queen, why do you wear it back and forth? It's just a few clothes. Look at the color. It's so plain that it can't be plain anymore. No more white."

"But the concubine has always been dressed like this these past few days?" Ruoyin looked down at herself.

The queen mother couldn't help but said: "It's going to be dinner later, you hurry up and change into something more beautiful, so that Ai's family won't be in a bad mood, and seeing you dressed like this will make you feel even worse."

Hearing this, Ruoyin couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

She looked left and right, looked up and down, and felt that she didn't affect the appearance of the city.

But from what the queen mother said, it seemed that if she didn't change her clothes, her old man would not be able to eat.

Could it be her fault that she dressed too peacefully?

Don't you want her to dress up like a vixen?

No matter what, Ruoyin got up and replied, "Don't be mad at the emperor's mother, I will change it now."
