At this time, Mu Qingchao had just gotten up from his nap. Chunya brought her a plate of snacks. While she was eating the snacks, she was flipping through a storybook boredly.
These stories are too boring. They are just stories about a poor scholar meeting a wealthy daughter. It seems that they were written by those scholars, and there is nothing new at all.
Her taste in storybooks was greatly influenced by the books of later generations.
Men and women, men and men, people and people, people and animals...
Those are the stories that are interesting.
Just as I was thinking about it, Qiangwei came in from outside.
"Queen Mother, Prince Jiang is here." Qiangwei said.
"Prince Jiang? What is he doing here at this time?" Mu Qingchao was a little confused and slowly got down from the couch.
When he opened the door, he saw Jiang Bo standing outside the door with a look of eagerness on his face.
"Prince Jiang, you..."
"Let's go!"
Before Mu Qingchao opened his mouth, he saw Jiang Bo coming up to him and said these two words.
"Let's go?" Mu Qingchao's face was stunned: "Where do you want the Ai family to go at this time?"
"No matter where you go, as long as you leave the palace, don't you have a master of Qinggong next to you? Let him take you away."
When Mu Qingchao heard this, he had a strange look on his face.
He had even guessed Lu Li's existence?
However, I was surprised in my heart, but my face still had that calm look, and I asked with a smile: "Why did the Ai family leave?"
"The Ai family is living well in this palace, with great wealth and wealth, and good food and clothing. Where do you want the Ai family to go? What's your plan? Could it be that they left the palace and followed you?
Haha, they all say that widows have a lot of trouble at home, but I didn’t expect that a gentleman like Prince Jiang would also like to do such things as stealing people’s ashes.”
Listen to these words, every word is the words of a tiger or a wolf.
She had always spoken so rudely, and Jiang Bo had no intention of arguing with her.
"Zhong Ming already knows what you have done. He has already entered the palace and will bring people to search your Chaoyun Palace soon.
If you don’t leave, it will really be too late.”
This was the first time since Mu Qing met Jiang Bo that he was so anxious.
Although he was surprised in his heart, he kept his usual playful and smiling style: "What did the Ai family do? The Ai family did not understand what the prince said."
"At this point, what's the use of hiding it from me?" Jiang Bo frowned, but the worry on his face couldn't be faked.
"I know everything." He said.
"What do you know?" Mu Qingchao didn't appreciate it.
"When you find out, you should arrest me and bring me to His Majesty."
"you……"
Jiang Bo was speechless for a moment. He seemed anxious, but she seemed to be fine.
But he still said: "Listen to my advice and leave quickly. Zhongming is here prepared and he won't let you go."
"What? Prince Jiang, are you reluctant to leave the Aijia?" Mu Qingchao still had a smile on her face, and she took two steps closer to him: "The Aijia thought that Prince Jiang was selfless, so why did the Aijia try to protect him?"
She was already close, her mouth was next to Jiang Bo's ear, her voice was low and seductive.
"However, Ai Jia would like to advise the prince. You'd better not be soft-hearted towards people like Ai Jia. You should get closer and closer to avoid getting angry."
Jiang Bo's heart trembled suddenly, and he looked up at her, only to see that she had taken a few steps back, keeping a safe distance from him.
"you……"
Jiang Bo wanted to say something more, but he saw a group of people coming in force from the other side.
It was Shen Muchi, and behind him were Zhong Ming and Zhong Yingying, as well as a large group of palace people. He was very aggressive, and at first glance it was clear that he was coming with bad intentions.
What is supposed to come will eventually come...
Jiang Bo almost subconsciously wanted to stand in front of Mu Qingchao.
But he was pushed away by Mu Qingchao.
She smiled and stepped forward to greet him. After taking a few steps, she turned back and winked at Jiang Bo, signaling him to stand where he was and not to move rashly.
The afterglow of the setting sun fell on her body, and she stood at the intersection of light and shadow, half bright and half dark.
But in a moment of confusion, Zhong Ming and the others had already walked over.
Mu Qingchao turned to face them and said first: "Why is your Majesty here?"
Zhong Ming came closer and saw Jiang Bo behind Mu Qingchao at a glance, and thought to himself, the two of them are indeed related.
"Mu..."
Just as he was about to speak, he heard a loud shout from Mu Qingchao.
"Bold bells ring! Do you know your guilt?"
Zhong Ming:???
He had made complete preparations and came here to ask for guilt, but before he opened his mouth, Mu Qingchao asked him if he knew his guilt?
What is his crime?
But he heard Mu Qingchao say, "Why don't you be polite when you see the Ai family?"
Zhong Ming:……
He had heard that Mu Qingchao now relied on his status as Queen Mother to suppress everyone everywhere. Even Mrs. Zhong suffered a loss in front of her.
But since Mu Qingchao became the Queen Mother, Zhong Ming has not had face-to-face contact with her. After meeting her today, she realized that what they said was indeed true.
But Zhong Ming's identity is more and more different from others. He is the chief minister and the uncle of Mu Qingchao.
Want him to kneel to her?
He sneered: "It seems that the Queen Mother has lived in the palace for a long time, and she has forgotten how much she weighs."
He was knocking Mu Qingchao, meaning he wanted her to weigh her identity.
Even when he met Shen Muchi, he would not kneel down. Who was she, Mu Qingchao, a woman with no background? She dared to yell at him.
But Mu Qingchao didn't seem to understand what he said, so he retorted: "It seems that Mr. Zhong has been the assistant of the Ai family for a long time, and he has even forgotten the basic etiquette.
Mr. Zhong is known as the head of civil servants. He supervises the emperor from above, impeaches officials from below, and strictly enforces etiquette. However, the Ai family looks at it, and Mr. Zhong seems to have forgotten etiquette, law, and dignity. How can he lead by example and set an example for all officials?
Simply, don’t be the first assistant!"
Mu Qingchao was not satisfied with scolding Zhong Ming after his words, so he turned his head to look at Zhong Yingying.
"Look, this means that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Mr. Zhong himself does not know etiquette, and he has taught this Miss Zhong to have no rules and regulations.
The Ai family just taught her some rules last time, but when Master Zhong came today, she forgot them all."
Mu Qingchao's mouth was very damaging to others. Not only did he scold me and scold his daughter, he also reminded Zhong Yingying of her shame in the Royal Garden last time.
Zhong Yingying was so angry that her teeth itched, but there was nothing she could do.
Zhong Ming is already arrogant enough, he can't even stop showing off this little bit of face, for fear of being criticized by others.
Anyway, she won't be able to dance for long, it's just a salute. A man who can bend and stretch, just treat it as kowtow to the dead.
With this thought in mind, Zhong Ming reluctantly bowed.
"I see the Queen Mother."
Zhong Ming also saluted, and Zhong Yingying had to follow.
"I have met the Queen Mother."
However, the two of them continued to salute, but Mu Qingchao did not react for a long time.
After a long while, I heard her say slowly: "You don't even know how to salute, and you don't know how you have the nerve to regulate officials with such a shameful face?
Okay, the Aijia won’t care about you anymore, just get up..."
Zhong Ming was so angry that he almost couldn't bring himself to speak up. He was annoyed by Jiang Bo in the morning, and Mu Qingchao in the afternoon...
He clenched his fists and said almost through gritted teeth: "Now that the ceremony is over, can the Queen Mother get out of the way? I'm going to search the palace."
