None of the people at the top paid any attention to her.
Minister Zhou sat in the main seat with a sullen face. "The Tong family has been like a mad dog these past few days, refusing to let me go. If this matter drags on, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it any longer."
That's why he quickly took sick leave.
Upon hearing this, the other members of the Zhou family also looked extremely unhappy.
Minister Zhou had only one son and one daughter.
My son is only five years old now and is still young.
There are no suitable young people in the clan now who can support the family.
Therefore, Minister Zhou could not retreat.
But this time, it was obvious that the Tong family was being targeted.
They were not afraid to sacrifice a concubine.
The problem is that Zhou Tong's attitude these days clearly shows that she is not satisfied with just having a concubine.
The group of people fell silent.
They guessed for several days what the Tong family wanted, but they couldn't figure it out.
Minister Zhou knew it very well.
Before his daughter entered the palace, Zhou Tongshi mentioned to him that her father-in-law wanted to talk to him about the next spring examination.
He is the Minister of Rites.
Even if he is not the chief examiner of next year's Spring Examination, it is hosted by the Ministry of Rites, so he can always do something to manipulate it.
The last time he took the imperial examination, he had not yet entered the Ministry of Rites, so naturally he did not have this worry.
But this time I couldn't avoid it.
He originally thought that he could just fool around and it would be over.
Although he favored Liu a little, he considered himself a relatively honest official.
My father-in-law didn't say much at the time.
He thought that his father-in-law understood his attitude and gave up.
But I didn’t expect…
Minister Zhou sighed in his heart.
He didn't think much about it when his daughter entered the palace.
Who would have thought that this would sow the seeds of disaster.
Seeing his daughter's eagerness to sever ties with Liu, Minister Zhou sighed deeply in his heart.
He had few children, so he registered all his children under his wife's name in order to give them an identity and a future.
But now, he felt a little regretful.
This daughter was ultimately spoiled by the Tong family.
No one knew what Minister Zhou was feeling in his heart.
The Zhou family's family meeting was fruitless again.
But in the court, the targeting of the Tong family did not stop there.
Qi Yuan wanted to protect Minister Zhou and also understood the Tong family's plan. Therefore, in the past few days, whenever the Tong family mentioned the Zhou family's affairs during the morning court, he would directly announce the end of the court.
The Tong family did not give up either.
Qi Yuan was extremely annoyed by the constant impeachment every day.
After leaving court that day, he was really bored, so he went to Ci'an Palace:
"My son pays his respects to the Queen Mother."
Xin Guoguo had just changed into casual clothes and was preparing to leave the palace.
He was suddenly blocked by Qi Yuan.
Xin Guoguo: ...
Qi Yuan: ...
The mother and son looked around in silence.
After a long while, Qi Yuan finally asked, "Why is the Queen Mother dressed like this?"
Xin Guoguo did not hide it from him: "I plan to leave the palace for a while."
She couldn't hide it anyway.
The opening mission of the gourmet food system, after the friendly (intimidating) and coercive (coercive) communication (profit) and (seduction) with the Gold Finger Trial Department, as well as her eloquent (unreasonable) tongue, finally found an opportunity.
Three days of calculation time, starting from the moment she clicks the "Start" button.
That's right.
The Gold Finger Trial Department has specially updated the system task interface for this purpose and added a "Start Timer" button.
For this, the little fur ball was full of admiration.
Then he went out quickly to help his host select a place suitable for selling fried rice.
A few days ago, she asked three people from the imperial kitchen to take turns making fried rice every day, and selected the one that tasted the best.
He specially picked three days of free time and planned to take the imperial chef out of the palace to sell fried rice!
Who would have thought that before he even left the house, he would be blocked by his own eldest son.
Qi Yuan frowned: "Why is my mother dressed so... plainly when she leaves the palace?"
Moreover, it seems that he doesn't plan to bring more people.
Xin Guoguo straightened her sleeves and said, "When going out to play, of course you can't dress too formally. It's inconvenient."
"play?"
Qi Yuan's eyes widened.
He was so troubled by state affairs in the previous dynasty, and his mother was actually going out to play?!
Qi Yuan felt unbalanced.
"Your son and I will go together!"
After saying that, regardless of Xin Guoguo's reaction, he asked someone to prepare clothes.
Xin Guoguo: ...
"There's no need to be so anxious. I didn't say I wouldn't take you with me."
Qi Yuan: ...
Okay, he was just impatient.
Xin Guoguo simply sat down and waited for Qi Yuan to change his clothes.
"My Lady, Chef Yang is here."
There is a palace maid outside reporting.
When he saw Qi Yuan, he did not forget to salute him.
Xin Guoguo waved hurriedly: "Let him in!"
This is her precious treasure to complete the mission!
"Yes."
After a while, Yang Yuchu came in.
He was shocked to see the emperor was there too.
He hurriedly bowed to the two of them: "Your humble servant greets the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty."
"Get up quickly."
"Thank you, Queen Mother, and thank you, Your Majesty."
Yang Yuchu stood up, with his hands hanging in front of him and his head lowered, waiting for instructions, not daring to speak.
Xin Guoguo knew that he was restrained, so she told him what he was going to do after leaving the palace.
When talking about his profession, Yang Yuchu's eyes sparkled.
Nodding repeatedly.
The tension in my heart also dissipated a little.
At this time, the young eunuch brought Qi Yuan's clothes.
Qi Yuan went to the warm room to change.
Xin Guoguo just stood up and said: "Let's go."
