It seems that the Queen Mother never hides anything in her actions.

Silver flower-protecting bells were hung in the corners around the hall, and the breeze blew by, making tiny tinkling sounds from time to time.

She walked around the screen and saw a beautiful middle-aged woman with beaded hair sitting on the imperial chair. That was the Queen Mother Zhou.

The strange thing is that Queen Mother Zhou was wearing a white gauze curtain that covered her face, so her eyes and expressions were invisible.

After Qin Baizhi saluted, Queen Mother Zhou nodded to let her get up.

"Qin Liangyuan, do you know why the Ai family asked you to come to the palace?" Queen Mother Zhou asked unhurriedly.

Qin Baizhi replied in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "I know. The Queen Mother may find an excuse to say that I don't understand the rules and disrespect the Queen Mother, etc., and punish me to be confined in the palace for a few days, so that she can take advantage of the eldest prince."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was silence all around.

Qin Baizhi's straightforward words silenced them.

Empress Dowager Zhou chuckled: "He is a smart person. Talking to smart people saves your worries."

At this time, a nun in green scolded: "How can you be so rude in front of the Queen Mother?"

After saying that, he came over with a whip.

Qin Baizhi looked into the eyes of the grandma and said slowly: "Mammy, you are so old, why are you walking so fast? What should you do if you fall?"

The grandma met Qin Baizhi's eyes, her eyes suddenly became blurry, and she murmured: "Yes, my old slave's legs are not in good shape."

As he was talking, his feet tripped over each other and fell to the ground.

Aunt Qingyi ouched a few times, holding on to her waist and unable to get up.

Queen Mother Zhou moved slightly, and the flower-protecting bells around her kept ringing. The clear sound instantly woke up Aunt Qingyi, and she looked ashamed: "Mother, my slave's legs and feet were tight, but I don't know why I got caught and didn't obey my orders."

Empress Dowager Zhou's voice did not distinguish between happiness and anger, and she pursed her lips to the side: "That's all, help her get up and see the imperial doctor."

Soon someone came forward and helped Nanny Qingyi away.

She stared at Qin Baizhi thoughtfully: "Is this your ability? Do you follow your words?"

Qin Baizhi smiled: "The Queen Mother just secretly asked Nanny to make trouble. Was she testing my ability?"

Empress Dowager Zhou also laughed and admitted directly: "Yes. I have long heard from Xiang'er that you can look people in the eyes and use your words to make people lose their mind."

Qin Baizhi said kindly: "Prince Xiang observes me very carefully. Queen Mother, you are so steady. You cover your face with a white curtain to prevent you from meeting my eyes, and you are afraid of being affected by me. Also, With this flower-protecting bell, it can make a sound at any time, so that you can wake up in time if you are affected by me."

Empress Dowager Zhou smiled and said: "That's right. After all, Qin Liangyuan calmly installed me in Ji Wan's house, Nanny Yang, and Li Shanggong of Shangyiyuan, who drove them crazy to death."

Qin Baizhi covered her mouth and smiled: "Oh, the Queen Mother speaks without any basis, which makes people sad. How can I, the daughter of a mere fifth-rank official, be so capable?"

Empress Dowager Zhou nodded with a look of appreciation: "Don't belittle yourself. The Ai family says you have it."

Qin Baizhi sighed: "The Queen Mother thinks highly of me."

The two of them seemed harmonious on the surface, but secretly they were fierce.

Queen Mother Zhou stood up and said politely: "The politeness is over, it's time to get down to business. Qin Liangyuan, please follow grandma to the solitary room."

Okay, I'm too lazy to follow the process of acting.
