The Queen Mother took the mahogany sign, took off the carving knife from the side, and carved a small one on it with a serious expression:

rustle-

The empress dowager's hands were very stable, and she was carved just by one horizontal and one vertical stroke.

Qiao'e looked at her eyes, knowing that the Queen Mother was counting the word "positive" and asked curiously:

"Empress Dowager, what are you remembering? Is it raining many times?...No, it rained three times this spring..."

The Empress Dowager did not dare to confess and said with a serious expression: "It is of great importance. If you don't understand, don't ask, and don't talk nonsense... Otherwise, you will be driven out of the palace and find someone who is extremely ugly to marry..."

"hiss"

Qiao'e was so scared that she hurriedly did it: "I know my mistake... I have forgotten..."

The Empress Dowager snorted lightly, looked at the wooden plate that had only been carved twice, and had a headache again.

One hundred times...it's time to be engraved next year...

There was no turning back when the arrow was drawn, and there was no room for regret at this time. The empress dowager was so angry that she had to put away the wooden plate and sit up straight:

"Go to Furong Temple in the afternoon... You may have to stay in the mountain at night..."

Qiao'e picked up the comb to comb the empress dowager's hair, and asked in doubt:

"Why don't you go up the mountain during the day?"

“It rains during the day.”

"What should I do if it rains at night?"

"It's raining at night, there's nothing I can do. Hongluan comes over and can't stop visiting..."

"Then it's the same when you go during the day..."

The queen mother's eyes turned cold and she glanced at Qiao'e, who was ignorant of her life and death.

Qiao'e shrank her neck and her mind turned sharply: "There are many people during the day... I don't know if the ancestor of the Taoist burns incense... Is there any more energy tonight?"

"Hmph... I'm pretty smart... I thought you couldn't think of it..."

"Hehe... The Queen Mother was indeed thoughtful..."

Qiao'e carefully tucked her hair and put on rouge. After a while:

"Empress Dowager, do you want light or heavy makeup?"

"Light makeup, the lighter the better..."

"What is the rouge used for... is it the camellia cream given by Prince Xu, or the 'red orchid nectar' given by Prince Xu, or the 'prince Xu' given by Prince Xu..."

"What did you buy? I didn't give you the money?"

"The silver was taken away by Master Xiao and bet..."

The queen mother was stunned and stared at Qiao'e who was wronged by Bala, thinking about it:

"Didn't that bastard win?"

"I originally won... As a result, Master Xiao Second, when he saw Prince Xu running up to join in the fun, he thought it wasn't a gift of money. He bet with Prince Shu on the spot... and then he exported it all, and he still owed a lot of debts..."

“???”

The Queen Mother opened her mouth and laughed in anger. She stood up and walked back and forth:

"Okay, okay... This evil is simply... Compared to Xu Buling, he is still heartless... No wonder he has been silent these days..."

Qiao'e was inexplicably: "Crown Prince Xu is very good. He is gentle and elegant. He is also good at painting and writing poetry. He is very skilled in martial arts. He is even more respectful to the Empress Dowager and caring..."

"Pooh-"

The Queen Mother couldn't bear it anymore, her face turned red with anger. She gritted her teeth for a while, and raised her finger to point outside:

"Go and send a letter to hang Xiao Ting up and beat him up. He is a gambler and is rude at such a young age. Do you still take my aunt seriously?"
