Honglian was angry.
"Sister Yuzhu, Madam has something to ask Xiao... the Empress Dowager."
A maid who used to be familiar with Yuzhu came to the mansion.
When Chen heard the report from the mansion that Li Xia had arrived, she immediately sent a maid to invite him.
She originally wanted to come by herself, but then she remembered that she had used the excuse of being unwell to get away and take care of Chen Dexuan's concubine arrangements.
If I went to the main room at this time.
I'm sure that if Aunt Hong sees her, she will grab her tightly.
She has something to do today.
There is no time to deal with her.
So Chen asked her maid to come and pass on the message.
Yuzhu nodded and then asked, "Okay, I will convey your meaning. But do you know what important matter Madam wants to see the Queen Mother for?"
"I don't know. Madam didn't say."
The maid shook her head.
"Yuzhu, what's wrong?" Li Xia walked over.
Yuzhu replied, "Her Majesty, the Madam said she wanted to see you, and Xiaodie came here to pass on the message."
She pointed to the maid beside her.
"This servant pays respects to the Queen Mother."
The maid bowed.
"Okay, I understand. Xiaodie, you go back first. I will go to the backyard later."
Li Xia said.
The maid nodded and said, "Yes, I'll take my leave."
Honglian heard a quiet conversation not far away, and she asked the maid who was supporting her, "Who is talking?"
"Madam Hong, it's Xiaodie from the Madam's room." The maid replied truthfully.
"Xiao Die?" Hong Lian frowned, "What is she doing here? Is she here to see the Queen Mother?"
"yes."
The maid nodded.
Upon hearing this, Honglian lowered her eyelids and said nothing.
Xiaodie is just a maid, she would not come to see the Queen Mother for no reason.
Why not choose this time?
She came as soon as the Queen Mother arrived.
Especially since Xiaodie is the eldest lady's person, her words and actions represent more than just herself.
Chen knew that today was her big day.
She was ill and stayed indoors, refusing to see anyone.
But she called the maid over and had an unknown conversation with the Queen Mother.
Such behavior aroused Honglian's curiosity.
"Keep an eye on the Queen Mother. If there is any unusual movement, tell me immediately."
Honglian instructed the maid.
"Don't worry, Madam Hong. I understand." The maid nodded.

"Your Majesty, didn't you say that you were leaving the palace to make a private visit? How did we end up at the gate of the general's mansion?"
Xiao Luzi raised his eyes and saw the vermilion gate. He tilted his head back and looked at the large gold-plated characters on the plaque.
The emperor was fine, why did he suddenly come to the general's mansion?
It's undeniable.
General Li was a good general who was deeply loved by the people and had outstanding military achievements.
The glory of the general's mansion has gradually faded with the departure of the old general.
Is the emperor coming here at this time to commemorate General Li?
But I have been with the emperor for so many years.
I've never heard of any private relationship between him and the old general?
Xiao Luzi scratched his head, puzzled.
He really couldn't understand.
Dongfang Xunyi's eyebrows flickered, he lowered his head and coughed softly: "Ahem, I want to observe the people around the general's mansion. I only said that I was going to visit incognito, but I didn't say where I was going to visit incognito. Besides, the whole world belongs to the king. No matter where I go incognito, it's for the people of the world."
He spoke with confidence.
System: The male protagonist of this world has such a thick face that it is almost as thick as a city wall.
He himself is thick-skinned and does not even know it.
"This son-in-law of the general's mansion took a concubine and even made such a fuss about marrying a wife. This servant has never heard of or seen such a thing."
Xiao Luzi saw red lanterns with wedding characters on them hanging on both sides of the mansion gate, and he found it novel.
When he was a child, he also saw wealthy families marrying wives and concubines.
Marrying a wife requires a sedan chair carried by eight people, and the process is grand.
Taking a concubine is much simpler, and one is not eligible to post wedding characters and red lanterns outside the door.
Dongfang Xunyi listened to Xiao Luzi's doubts, he raised his eyelids and glanced upwards casually.
He also saw the red lanterns hanging on both sides.
No wonder the fact that Chen Dexuan took a concubine was still talked about by word of mouth among the people.
If people didn't know that he had a stepmother, looking at his show, they would really think that he was getting married.
Dongfang Xunyi originally had no feelings towards Chen Dexuan, he had never even met him.
Until the secret guard brought him the news about Li Xia.
He thought Chen Dexuan was a terrible person.
He is simply unfit to be a husband, let alone a father.
Dongfang Xunyi looked down on people like him from the bottom of his heart.
I really don’t know how God could be so kind to such a bad person like Chen Dexuan and give him a pair of good children.
Dongfang Xunyi and Chen Yi had not been in contact for long.
But he has always been very good at judging people.
Chen Yi will be a completely different person from his father in the future.
"Xiao Luzi, go over there and observe the people around you." Dongfang Xunyi pointed in a direction, turned to look at Xiao Luzi and said.
Xiao Luzi followed him all the time, as if he was being stared at by a pair of eyes.
It's inconvenient to do anything with my hands tied.
"But……"
Xiao Luzi pursed her lips, looking worried, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
The emperor's decision to go on an incognito tour this time was rather hasty; he had no time or opportunity to make adequate preparations.
Therefore, Xiao Luzi did not arrange for anyone to disguise himself and protect the emperor's safety.
