Chapter 83: Queen Mother's Mind

Ji Lingxue smiled and said, "How come? The emperor joked."
The Queen Mother waved towards Ji Lingxue and said, "Xue'er, come to Ai's house."
Ji Lingxue obediently walked to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother took her hand and asked concerned, "Where did you go just now, you girl, Madam Zhao came back and said that you are gone, and the heart of the Aijia family has been hanging in this palace. There are so many walls in the palace garden, I'm afraid you won't get out of it for three days if you get lost."
What the Queen Mother said was the fact that the palace was deep, the walls were high, the terrain was complicated, and the rules were complicated. If one accidentally bumped into a noble concubine, he would be punished if he made a mistake.
Ji Lingxue said: "Thank you for your concern, the Queen Mother. I just went to the toilet." All the excuses I didn't want to explain were made to go to the toilet. If I was rubbed and lied, I would say that I was lost.
The queen mother smiled with relief and pushed the tea on hand to Ji Lingxue and said, "Look at you, I'm thirsty after a busy day, drink some water."
Ji Lingxue lifted the tea cup to her lips. During this breath, she knew that she wanted the slickness in the tea.
Ji Lingxue lowered her head and drank the cup of tea in one sip. The next moment she raised her hand to help her forehead, and said weakly: "Head...it hurts..."
A bright light flashed in the queen mother's eyes, and she asked concerned: "Girl Xueer, are you okay?"
"I..." Ji Lingxue wanted to say something, but she shook her body weakly and fell softly.
Sitting on the side, Xiao Yimo raised her hand to help Ji Lingxue. She leaned against his shoulder, breathing long.
Xiao Yimo raised his head to look at the Queen Mother, and asked what he meant with his eyes.
The queen mother avoided his eyes, winked at Mother Zhao and said, "Please go to the palace next door to rest."
Grandma Zhao nodded, turned around and picked up Ji Lingxue and left.
Xiao Yimo touched his nose and said: "Mother, my son remembered that there are still memorials in the royal study room that have not been corrected, so I will leave first."
On the other side, Xiao Yichen looked up and down at the tough man in the robe, and snorted coldly: "How can General Ding wander around in the palace? Is it possible that you are now a guard general?"
Ding Sifang smiled, Xiao Yichen's position is above him, and it is difficult for him to stand firm in the place with the most eyeliners like the palace.
"The King Chen joked. The Imperial Palace Guard has always belonged to the emperor. Today, he entered the palace to see his deceased.
Xiao Yichen nodded, "Oh, why did the king forget, General Ding's sister is Zhaoyi now."
Ding Sifang arched his hands and didn't want to talk too much, "If King Chen has nothing to do, this general will take a step first." But in his heart, he was puzzled about the fool just now. Since he was a fool, how could he run away when he saw Xiao Yichen?
Xiao Yichen nodded, and continued when Ding Sifang passed by him: "General Ding will go north recently. The 20,000 soldiers and horses left in the northwest of the king also hope that the general will treat him well."
In the Northwest, he became one with the soldiers earlier. He knew that he would not be able to retain the 20,000 soldiers after he returned to Beijing. He only hoped that their next superior would treat them better.
Ding Sifang paused, and when he turned his head, Xiao Yichen had turned and floated away, but his back was a bit lonely.
It was a quarter of an hour after Xiao Yichen returned to the Queen Mother Palace. The Queen Mother was lying on a low collapse to rest. Mother Zhao was carefully massaging her arms.
Seeing Xiao Yichen coming in, Mother Zhao lowered her head and whispered something in the ear of the queen mother. The queen mother opened her sharp eyes and slowly sat up.
Queen Mother: "Chen'er, you are here!"
Xiao Yichen said: "I heard that the princess of the child minister has been found, and is it here?"
The queen mother nodded, "That girl from Xue'er is playful, so Aie's family let her rest in the side hall. Now it's getting late, and the gate of the palace is closed long ago, so it's better for you, Xueer, to spend the night at Aie's."
Xiao Yichen nodded and said that he had no opinion.
The queen mother said again: "Chen'er, the Aijia heard that you recently took a maid as a concubine?"
Xiao Yichen expressed helplessness for his mother who was in the palace and knew about his family affairs. He has never been able to decide who the person next to him is.
Xiao Yichen said: "It's just a concubine. It's a whim. You don't have to worry about the mother's queen. The ministers will take care of the affairs of the house."
The queen mother sighed and said, "Oh, you have been married to Xue'er for more than a year. I have been unhappy before, but blame Ai's family for giving you some mandarin ducks?"
Xiao Yichen bowed his head. A year ago, he did resent his mother for letting him marry Ji Lingxue, a fool. He was simply humiliating him. He knew that Xiao Yimo was jealous of him. Therefore, his marriage to Ji Lingxue was also facilitated. His only way to resist was to marry. Ji Yuqing, he has been using Ji Yuqing's jealousy and possessiveness to get rid of Ji Lingxue. If his silly concubine dies, his sense of shame will disappear.
It's just that he hesitated a bit about this plan now, and he couldn't bear Ji Lingxue's accident. He didn't know what was wrong with him, and he always worried about her safety.
Xiao Yichen raised his head and said, "No, Ji Lingxue... is pretty good."
The queen mother nodded in satisfaction, waved her hand and said, "Ai's family is sleepy, so go and rest." I hope you are satisfied with the "surprise" that Ai's family gave you.
In the second half of the sentence, the Queen Mother did not say, she only looked at Xiao Yichen meaningfully and closed her eyes.
Xiao Yichen dropped his head and walked out, not seeing the eyes of the Queen Mother.
