First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 340 Face Slap (five more)

In mid-June, there was a heavy rain in the capital, which lasted for five full days. Many farmland houses were flooded. The Ministry of Industry was busy dredging the sewers in the capital. Even the residence of the Queen Mother Zhuang was temporarily suspended. Gu Houye was called back. Ordered in danger.

The Ministry of Households is busy helping the people restore farming.

  Some of the Hanlin officials who knew agronomy were also transferred to the countryside, and Xiao Liulang was in the ranks of recruitment.

  The day before departure, he went to Renshou Palace and said goodbye to Queen Mother Zhuang.

  The Queen Mother in the study snorted while looking at the Zhezi: "It's not a place to go far, it's a one-day drive, so I can't afford to say goodbye!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Duke Qin came in carrying a baggage: "Xiao Xiu, the things for you are collected, they are all personally selected by the queen mother, and the minion is planning to send it to Bishui Hutong, but by coincidence, you have come by yourself! "

  Xiao Liulang looked at the two big bags full of things, then looked at his aunt.

  Oh, what if you say yes?

   Queen Mother Zhuang gave Duke Qin a stare!

  Qin Gonggong rubbed his nose angrily: "Oh, the minion remembers that there are still a few books to read! The minion is going first!"

  After all, he fled in a hurry!

  "When will we leave?" Queen Mother Zhuang asked.

   "Tomorrow morning." Xiao Liulang said.

   Queen Mother Zhuang asked: "Who else is there besides you?"

  Xiao Liulang said: "Wang Xiu wrote, Li Xiu wrote, Yang Shidu."

   Queen Mother Zhuang said lightly: "Come here."

  Duke Qin stepped inside: "Queen Dowager, what's your order?"

   Empress Dowager Zhuang said: "There are several volumes of scriptures to be copied from the Ai's family. Go to the Hanlin Academy and let Shi Yang read these scriptures and copy them."

   "No need for auntie." Xiao Liulang said, "Can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer? I can handle it."

  Queen mother Zhuang thought for a while, she really couldn't protect too much. This kind of little fish and shrimp used to practice handwork for this kid, and it can be regarded as the good fortune of the other party.

  "Is dinner ready?" Queen Mother Zhuang asked Qin Gonggong.

  Qin Gonggong hurriedly smiled and said, "Just waiting for the queen mother to pass on food!"

  Xiao Liulang accompanied the Queen Mother Zhuang to dinner at Renshou Palace, and then planned to leave.

  Queen Mother Zhuang said indifferently: "The Ai's family has been sitting all day, and it just happened to be out for a walk."

  Qin Gong Gongxin said, you just said that you want to send Master Xiao!

  Xiao Liulang's lips tick slightly: "Okay."

  The ancestors and grandchildren left Renshou Palace.

A torrential rain flooded not only a small part of the capital, but also many areas of the palace. Fortunately, Renshou Palace is the most powerful palace. All the stagnant water has been dredged, and the roads have also been filled, all the way to the palace. The gates are all accessible.

  Also unblocked is the Huaqing Palace.

  Today’s sunset was beautiful and the weather was cool. The Concubine Jing was sitting on a sedan chair supporting a canopy. She was wearing a nun’s clothes and a nun’s hat, which was incompatible with this magnificent sedan chair.

  Since the Toffee Silence was injured, she has been recuperating in the Huaqing Palace. The heavy rain has been falling for several days, and the doctor said that she can’t stay in the palace all the time and should go out to get some air.

  So the emperor sent someone to lift her out in a sedan chair.

In order to accompany Xiao Liulang on the walk, the Queen Mother Zhuang did not take her own Fenghu.

  The two sides met unexpectedly, but the Concubine Jing was aloof.

"Big--"

  Gong Qin just wanted to scold him when he saw the queen mother, why didn’t he get off the sedan chair?

  Xiao Liulang spoke a step ahead of him. He gave a ceremony to meet the monks and said, "Master Jing'an."

  The complexion of the palace man next to Princess Jing changed.

  What is Jing'an Master? This is Princess Jing!

  Even your Majesty calls her a mother-in-law!

  Quiet Toffee's expression remained unchanged.

  Xiao Liulang introduced: “Tsao Concubine Jing has been away from the palace for too long and became a monk. She must have forgotten the past of Hong Chen. This is the empress dowager.”

  Speaking of this, no one can help but salute the Queen Mother.

  "Get off the sedan chair." Princess Jing raised her hand and looked at Queen Mother Zhuang.

The Queen Mother Zhuang also looked at her.

  The eyes of the two are extremely calm, and no one can guess what they are thinking.

  Mother Cai stretched out her hand to help Concubine Jing.

  Taffles Jing still had pain on her body. The main injury was not the place, but she was embarrassed and slowed to recover.

  Tsao Concubine Jing, holding Madam Cai’s hand, slowly came to the back of Madam Zhuang, and gave a Buddhist ceremony: "Poor nun..."

   Without waiting for her to finish, the queen mother Zhuang left without looking back.

  The body of Concubine Jing’s saluting froze there, and all the palace residents saw her in a moment of embarrassment and embarrassment.

The aura of the Queen Mother Zhuang is undoubtedly powerful and shocking, she doesn't have to deliberately despise anyone, she is born with an aura of the first in the world.

   "The Toffee Empress..." The little palace lady stepped forward to support her.

  Taffles Jing's eyelashes trembled: "I'm fine."

  The Queen Mother always accompanied Xiao Liulang to the Royal Garden. Xiao Liulang stopped and said to her, "Auntie, please come back, it's getting late."

   "Yeah." The Queen Mother faintly replied, looking at his eyes and exhorted, "Be careful of everything."

   "I understand." Xiao Liulang nodded, glanced in the direction of Huaqing Palace, and said, "Jiaojiao, please take care of her."

   Queen Mother Zhuang rolled her eyes: "Ai's Jiaojiao, Ai's family will take care of it, do you need to say?"

  Xiao Liulang chuckled: "Then I will go first."

   "Hmm." The Queen Mother looked at Xiao Liulang disappearing at the end of the trail before turning around and going back to Renshou Palace. She found Duke Qin in a trance and glared at him, "What is it? Let's go!"

  Duke Qin sighed with emotion: "Xiao Xiuzhuan laughs... it's pretty..."

   Empress Dowager Zhuang said, of course it looks good. Can the little Houye, who was the most outstanding capital at the age of thirteen, be indifferent?

  This kid doesn’t like to laugh.

  It doesn't seem right to say that. He used to love to laugh. When he was a child, he giggled so that the entire Imperial Garden was his voice.

  It was the fire at the Imperial College that burned his smile away.

  Is the fire really an accident?

  If Xiao Heng survives, then who is the scorched body of the person who died in the fire? -

   When Xiao Liulang got up the next day, Gu Jiao had packed his luggage. This was not the first time he went out. It used to be a rush for an exam, but now it is a business trip.

   "Mosquito coils are in this bag, mosquito medicine, diarrhea medicine and motion sickness medicine are in this sachet, and some fruits and dry food eaten on the road."

  Gu Jiao knew that he didn't have a lot of money, and what he earned was either paying rent or making her a home.

  Gu Jiao loaded a hundred taels of silver bills, and a bag of broken silver and copper plates.

  Xiao Liulang took the burden: "You can get back in half a month at the earliest, and it will not exceed next month at the latest."

   "Take care." Gu Jiao sent him to the carriage.

  Liu Quan first sent him to the Hanlin Academy, and all Hanlin officials took a carriage to the countryside.

  Xiao Jingkong went to school and missed the farewell.

  After Xiao Liulang left, Gu Jiao went to the hospital for a whole morning, then put on men's clothes and a mask to go to the Tai'an Wushu Hall.

  Being very busy these days, I haven't come here for a long time.

  She has to regain her strength as soon as possible. She doesn’t want to see the dead man next time and run away!

  She wants to put him in a sack!

  Today, I didn’t run into an opponent who was too difficult. After a few games, Gu Jiao came out with a lack of interest.

  She rubbed her wrist and walked back.

  Because some of the streets in the city were still flooded, she didn't walk the same way, but took a big circle. On the way back, she encountered the beggar who placed the chessboard last time.

  The beggar still covers his face with the book, as if he is asleep.

  In front of him is a different game from the last time.

  Gu Jiao took a curious look. The chess game was obviously a bit difficult this time, and she did not solve it as quickly as last time.

  She began to deduct in her mind. There are more than ten kinds of moves in this game, and each move will produce dozens of chess faces. It is impossible for ordinary people to perform such a huge amount of deduction in their minds.

After about a quarter of an hour, Gu Jiao opened her eyes, pinched a chess piece and landed on the chessboard.

  Just as she was about to leave, a skinny old hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.

   is the old beggar.

  Just now, she concentrated on playing the chess game, and didn't realize that the opponent was awake.

  The old beggar grabbed her wrist and said, "Huh? I want to go after playing my chess? Didn't you see what was written on this sign?"

   is a broken wooden sign that Gu Jiao has seen, and it says twelve in a round.

   "Oh." Gu Jiao stretched out her hand.

  The old beggar looked at his empty hand and was taken aback: "What are you doing?"

  "Don't you want to give me silver?" Gu Jiao pointed to the wooden sign, "Twelve taels."

  The old beggar took a breath: "You gave me ten taels!"

  No, listen to the voice... Is this little doll a girl?

  Oh, it turned out not to ask someone to solve the chess game.

  Gu Jiao misunderstood, she thought for a while, and said weirdly: "But is this kind of broken chess game worth ten taels?"

  The old beggar almost choked to death. He pointed to the chess game on the ground: "You, you, you...what did you say? Broken chess game? You call this... Broken chess game?"

  Gu Jiao said innocently: "Twelve taels of silver is the living expenses of a family of ten people in the country for two years. If you charge such a high price, at least it has to be difficult, right?"
