Bo Yongqing hurriedly got on the carriage and rushed to Bai's house.
"Your Majesty, Bo Yongqing, has come to see the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is a thousand years old!" As soon as Bo Yongqing saw the Queen Mother, he immediately knelt down and knelt down to worship her.
"No formalities, stay on your own." The Queen Mother said in a gentle tone.
"I would like to thank the Queen Mother."
After Bo Yongqing stood up, he stood with a bow and waited for the Queen Mother's instructions.
Along the way, he was naturally thinking about the Queen Mother's purpose in summoning him.
Could it be that you want to show off to him?
After all, for the empress dowager's good intentions, he had forcefully removed a talented young man from the list.
With this in mind, Bo Yongqing was still a little excited and looking forward to it.
The Queen Mother did not mince words and said directly: "The Ai family summoned you this time to ask you whether the list of the provincial examination has been drawn up?"
Bo Yongqing's heart was filled with excitement.
Sure enough!
"The words to reply to the Queen Mother have already been decided." Bo Yongqing bowed and replied.
The Queen Mother nodded and asked: "What is the ranking of Su Wuhu from Daliushu Village in Fengqi County?"
Bo Yongqing: "..."
Slightly startled.
If it’s not already wiped out, how can it still be ranked?
Then, it dawned on me.
The Queen Mother definitely didn't want anyone to know about this.
Just as Bo Yongqing was about to answer, the Queen Mother said again: "That child has good character. The Ai family likes the child very much and intends to marry him."
The Queen Mother did not say directly, "This is my grandson-in-law."
However, it also conveyed a certain meaning to Bo Yongqing.
After all, the ranking of the person the Empress Dowager wanted to marry was so poor that the Empress Dowager’s face would be disgraced, right?
If he was smart, he would naturally give Mr. Su five good rankings.
When Bo Yongqing heard this, he went against the Queen Mother's intention and never returned.
"As far as the Queen Mother is concerned, I have already done what the Queen Mother wanted." Bo Yongqing said as if he was claiming credit.
The Queen Mother: "..."
Oh, this Master Bo is quite smart!
"That's very good." The Queen Mother said with satisfaction: "The grandson-in-law of the Ai family is not the head of the case, he must be among the top three!"
Bo Yongqing nodded in agreement. Sure enough, the Queen Mother wanted the child from the Su family to be her grandson-in-law... No!
Bo Yongqing suddenly raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother.
Why are they in the top three?
Shouldn't you brush it down?
Bo Yongqing's expression changed.
I feel like I'm going to finish...
Bo Yongqing's legs softened and he knelt down.
"Empress Dowager, didn't you say that the child needs training to make him fail the exam?" Bo Yongqing said with a trembling voice.
The Queen Mother: "...when did the Ai family say such things?"
Bo Yongqing: "...No, didn't you ask Mr. Bai to go to the post house last night to convey the imperial edict?"
The Queen Mother: "..."
His face was full of disbelief.
Immediately, overwhelming anger surged in my heart.
Bo Yongqing: "..."
Cold sweat broke out, and a bold guess came to my mind.
"To report to the Queen Mother, Lord Bai is asking for an audience outside the courtyard gate." Nanny Chen walked in and bowed to report.
With a "pop!", the tea cup in the Queen Mother's hand fell to the ground.
"Let him get out!" the Queen Mother said angrily.
"yes."
Grandma Chen agreed in shock, bowed and retreated.
How many years has it passed since she had seen the Queen Mother so angry?
Outside the courtyard gate, Mr. Bai stamped his steps anxiously.
As soon as he saw Nanny Chen coming out, she immediately asked in fear: "Nanny, the Queen Mother..."
"The Queen Mother is furious. Master Bai, please go in and apologize."
Seeing that Mr. Bai was the nephew of the Queen Mother, Grandma Chen gave her a little advice.
Mr. Bai: "..."
My vision went dark and I almost fainted.
After a while, the eldest man of the Bai family crawled in and knelt down with a "pop".
"My nephew is guilty, please punish me!" The eldest man of the Bai family knelt down to plead guilty.
By the way, when Bo Yongqing entered the Bai Mansion, he naturally couldn't hide it from Mr. Bai.
When Mr. Bai heard that it was the Queen Mother who had summoned Bo Yongqing specially, he was almost stunned.
Who told him to act with a guilty conscience and falsely convey the Queen Mother's decree?
Naturally, he never imagined that the Queen Mother would summon Bo Yongqing.
Mr. Bai combined with what his daughter Bai Shuyu said that Princess Hua Ning might be in love with Su Laowu, and he immediately guessed what the Queen Mother meant.
So, he ran to apologize in fear.
As expected, the Queen Mother was furious.
"You are so bold!" the Queen Mother said angrily: "You dare to falsely spread the decree of the Ai family! Do you know that this is the death penalty for confiscating the family and exterminating the clan?"
Mr. Bai was so frightened that he kowtowed with "bang bang bang!"
When he knelt down, he accidentally knelt on some broken porcelain pieces.
Fortunately now, there are broken pieces of porcelain where my forehead hit the ground.
In an instant, Mr. Bai's forehead was dripping with blood.
Bo Yongqing looked on, too scared to breathe.
He has no sympathy for Mr. Bai at all, he is only worried about himself...
"Tell me! Why did you do that? Did that child of the Su family offend you?" the Queen Mother asked angrily.
Master Bai trembled and cried: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
"That's nonsense!" the Queen Mother said angrily: "That child has always been calm-minded and measured in advance and retreat. How could he be arrogant?"
Mr. Bai: "...Oh, my nephew is confused and does bad things with good intentions... Please forgive me..."
The Queen Mother looked at Mr. Bai and shook her head with disappointment.
"Even now, you still haven't told the truth?"
Mr. Bai: "..."
Does he dare to tell the truth?
He doesn't dare!
He didn't even dare to tell the Queen Mother about his plans.
Although the Queen Mother is the daughter of the Bai family, she is also the biological grandmother of Princess Hua Ning.
"Woo woo...please have mercy on my aunt...please have mercy on my aunt..."
Mr. Bai was so frightened that he could only say this sentence.
The Queen Mother looked at Mr. Bai, took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
It is impossible to confiscate a family and exterminate a clan.
After all, this is her own natal family.
But it won’t work without heavy penalties.
After that, people like the Bai family became more and more courageous, and they didn't know what kind of disaster they would cause...
"Go to the ancestral hall and be punished by kneeling for three days. When you return to the capital, go to the emperor to resign." said the Queen Mother.
Mr. Bai: "..."
Like being struck by lightning.
The Queen Mother is going to remove him from his official position!
How does this work?
Wouldn't this cost him his life?
"aunt……"
"The Ai family is not your aunt!" The Queen Mother categorically interrupted Mr. Bai and said in a stern tone: "The Ai family is the empress dowager of Dayan. What you are violating now is the national law! Such treatment of the Ai family is already right.
You, the Bai family, have opened the door a little bit, please kneel down!"
