Poor family mother and son

Chapter 128 So Tired!

While speaking, he saw a eunuch in his early thirties coming towards him.Hu Hengqiu introduced to Chu Qing: "This is Director Li." Chu Qing bowed and saluted, "I've seen Director Li."

Eunuch Li smiled and led them to the door of the imperial study, and opened the door: "My lords, please!"

Chu Qing was one step behind Hu Hengqiu, entered the room, and followed Hu Hengqiu to kneel down to worship the emperor.The emperor suddenly laughed: "Hu Hengqiu! You are so considerate! You said you came to see me, when did you give such a considerate courtesy!"

Then he said: "Excuse me, give me a seat!"

Eunuch Li moved to Jindun with the little eunuch, and Hu Hengqiu got up from his side and said, "Look at what the emperor said, when did I ever be so ignorant!"

After all, I want to sit down with Chu Qing.Chu Qing didn't dare to sit down directly, so he looked at Hu Hengqiu with some embarrassment.

The emperor said: "Don't be cautious, Hu Aiqing brought you here in person, just because I'm afraid you won't get used to it. Sit down, we also like to gossip."

Gossiping with the emperor?Hey, just kidding!Chu Qing saluted and thanked her before she dared to sit down.

"I have tasted the bean cakes and bean flour you sent, and they taste good. Especially the bean cakes are very crispy after being baked." Emperor Qingde said.

The emperor gnawed bean cakes?Who will believe it!

"Soybean oil is also good. It is very good for cooking and making soup. The Queen Mother likes it very much." The emperor said again.

"The emperor's praise." Chu Qing replied.

"Your Majesty, I just said that the soybean oil is good, right? I heard that there is not enough to eat in the New Year Palace." Hu Hengqiu eased the atmosphere.

"You have a good subordinate! From my point of view, this soybean oil is your favorite!" The emperor said with a smile, and pointed at Hu Hengqiu, "You!" with an expression of "I see you are so good when you get cheap".

Twenty and a half of the profit went to the secret investigation department, so of course Hu Hengqiu was going to behave himself.

When the two monarchs and ministers joked, Chu Qing also relaxed a little, it seemed that the emperor was in a good mood.

"Chu Aiqing," the emperor called out, "Your embroidery spring knife is good, when will you design one for me? I like swords more."

The emperor tapped the embroidered spring knife on Chuqing's waist, and then pointed to the sword hanging on the wall.The members of the secret investigation department can carry weapons to face the saint. This is a privilege and an obligation-the secret investigation department also has the duty of closely guarding the emperor.

For example, if someone assassinates the emperor now, if Eunuch Li rushes to escort Chu Qing, it will be Chu Qing's dereliction of duty.

But does the emperor really trust everyone in the secret investigation division so much?Chu Qing was always puzzled.

"You can take it off and have a look, and get me the No. [-] steel of your treasure furnace." The emperor ordered.

Chu Qing went to get the sword according to the words, and saw the fringe of the palace lantern on the side shaking, Chu Qing slightly raised his eyelids and glanced, there was someone on the beam.

Sure enough, where the emperor is, there is such an existence as a "shadow guard".

There is no need to take off the sword and its sheath as a whole, just pull out the sword. Chu Qing took a closer look, even the scabbard on the wall.

She didn't understand what kind of sword the emperor wanted, or whether he really wanted a sword. Anyway, the emperor ordered it, and it shouldn't be wrong to follow it.Whether this sword is good or not, Chu Qing doesn't know how to read it, just memorize the style.

"I've made a note of this. I'll think about it when I get back." Chu Qing put the sword back into its sheath, turned around and saluted the emperor and said, "However, I take the liberty, can you let me see the emperor's height clearly?"

No matter how tall a person is, how long a sword hangs looks good, this Chu Qing has aesthetics.

"Hehe, no problem." Emperor Qingde got up happily, walked from behind the table to Chu Qing, looked at the top of Chu Qing's head, he found that Chu Qing was also tall, the women in the palace were not so tall of.

"I've seen your 'self-payment' accounts, and you've made up your mind." The emperor took off the sword himself, put it on his waist, and said.

Where did this come from? Chu Qing was a little dazed, but then realized in an instant, the clerk of the household department submitted the bill?Is it the meaning of the Ministry of Households, or is the clerk originally a member of the emperor?
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I have seen clearly." Chu Qing saluted again, asking the Emperor to return to his seat.

No matter who the clerk was, if the emperor said "I have a heart", it means that Chu Qing's iron products business has passed the emperor's clear path, and no one will cause trouble because of it.This is a good thing.

After the emperor sat down, he said again; "Chu Aiqing, the empress dowager and empress are very curious about you, go and ask for your peace."

"Yes, I will take my leave first." Chu Qing saluted, took three steps back, and then turned around and left the imperial study.

"Be cautious!" the emperor said to Hu Hengqiu.

"It's the first time to face the saint! I heard that she is very courageous." Hu Hengqiu said.

"Oh?"

So, Hu Hengqiu told the emperor about Chu Qing leading people to rescue Bai Hua and Wei Chengyi.Bai Hua wrote a special report on this matter after returning to Beijing, and was called by Hu Hengqiu to inquire carefully.

Chu Qing was led by Eunuch Li himself to the Empress Dowager's palace.The Queen and Mrs. Hong were also there, as well as several older women.

It seems that the Empress Dowager and the Empress first gathered some ministers' wives together for a chat.

What about dinner?

After Chu Qing arrived, a court lady would set up the worship mat, glance at the seats and clothes, and she would be able to know who was who, just kowtow.

The queen mother raised her hand and signaled: "No, please sit here and let the Ai family have a look."

Mrs. Hong quietly hinted at her position, Chu Qing went over to sit, and she heard Mrs. Hong say: "Queen Dowager, Empress, you don't know, this Chu Baihu is an interesting person."

After saying that, she got up and walked to Chu Qing's side. The lady beside her hurriedly gave up her seat. Madam Hong nodded her thanks and sat next to Chu Qing.

Chu Qing is grateful.With acquaintances by your side, you always have to be more at ease.Just like a storyteller, Mrs. Hong told the story of how Chu Qing sneaked into the General Military Mansion to save them. The focus of the story was on the three words "borrowing money from the toilet".

The Empress Dowager and the Empress were overjoyed, Chu Qing blushed a lot: This article can't be overturned, can it?
Then Mrs. Hong talked about taking away a stronghold of the Donglun Kingdom, and she also said it vividly, focusing on the phrase "Oh my god" that Chu Qing couldn't help but feel pain.

All of a sudden, there was laughter in the hall.

Chu Qing was embarrassed.In fact, she really didn't need to be embarrassed.Mrs. Hong is not a few years younger than the Queen Mother.And Chu Qing is younger than Mrs. Hong's daughter, these people treat Chu Qing as a junior.

When Mrs. Hong mentioned that it was not easy for Chu Qing to take care of the child by herself, the queen smiled more sincerely, and told the maids around her to remember to bring Chu Qing some palace gadgets after the dinner and take them back. Let the children play.

Chu Qing hurriedly presented the gifts to the queen mother and empress, she was just embarrassed and forgot about the business.

As soon as the gift box was opened, a turquoise fine porcelain soap box appeared in front of the eyes, and there were milky and milky things inside, which was fresh for everyone to see.

Chu Qing introduced: "This is the soap that I researched in my spare time. It is very clean and convenient for washing hands, face, and bathing."

"Oh? This is called soap?" The Queen Mother picked up a piece and smelled it, "Well, it smells milky and milky, it smells really good. Aijia wants to try it." Seeing that the Queen Mother was interested, a court lady immediately brought water.

The queen mother tried it herself and liked it very much: "This is much more convenient than boiling saponin water, and it is also delicious."

Chu Qing quickly said: "This is just figured out, and I only have time to make this kind. If the Queen Mother and Queen like it, I will study floral scented and colored soaps when I go back."

"That's great!" The queen mother was happy: "The Ai family likes these delicious things."

"Queen, let's not worry, these soaps can be used for a long time. Chu Baihu still has to take care of the children and go to the yamen, but it's not easy." The queen said very considerately.

"The empress is right, the empress is more considerate. Don't worry, ah, you can talk when you have time." The empress dowager clapped Chu Qing's hand.
