Chapter 74 Gift to the Queen Mother
"Eunuch Cao!" Liu Yue's smile on her face was extremely kind: "I really didn't expect that I would see you as soon as I return to the palace. Are you having something wrong?"
Xu Bai glanced at the other party. If nothing unexpected happened, the only one who could afford the smile of June in the palace was Cao Jixiang from the Silijian.
This favorite slave next to Emperor Jingtai was white and fat, smiling with harmless face. No one would have thought that such a smiling guy would be the first eunuch in history to dare to think about rebellion.
Cao Jixiang did not even glance at Xu Bai and the others behind June, but walked to June in a familiar way, causing the way for June to come.
"The princess called me, my grandfather, are you going to kill me?" He kept smiling: "I heard the princess return to the palace and immediately came to greet the princess! During this period, the queen mother talked about the princess, and His Majesty also talked about the princess!"
"Is that right?" Liu Yueying smiled: "I miss the Queen Mother and Your Majesty too..."
Cao Jixiang turned around and his smile on his face was a little honest: "Will the princess go back to the palace to rest now, or go to see the queen mother, or pay his respects to His Majesty?"
June stood still and looked at Cao Jixiang with his head tilted, "Which Eunuch Cao thinks I'm going first?"
"I think it's better for the princess to go to see the queen mother first. The queen mother missed the princess so much that she missed her. She mentioned it a few days ago in front of me!" Cao Jixiang blinked: "I will lead the way for the princess!"
June looked back at Xu Bai slightly, and Xu Bai nodded unknown. Under Cao Jixiang's leadership, the group walked towards Shoukang Palace.
The meaning of Cao Jixiang's show of goodwill was too obvious, so it was a bit too concise. Xu Bai was very suspicious that Cao Jixiang must have known something, and even the other party could have a clear idea of June's traces. After all, Dongchang, which is not famous now, is in his hands. It should be fine to explore the news and follow the whereabouts of several people.
In this way, Cao Jixiang's appearance here makes it understandable. He may not be paying more attention to the identity of Princess Liuyue, but at this time, when June came out of the Yi Prince's Mansion and returned to the palace, there were too many things to ponder.
June is very familiar with the terrain in the palace. After all, this is where she was born and raised. It doesn’t matter whether or not Cao Jixiang leads the way. The two of them talked while walking, talking about some trivialities in the palace. Hahaha, they soon saw the gate of Shoukang Palace.
"I'll go and report it first..."
June stood outside the door and watched Cao Jixiang walk into Shoukang Palace, turning his head: "The guards of Shoukang Palace have also been strengthened, there were not so many guards before!"
"I saw it!" Xu Bai nodded: "Did Cao Jixiang be so enthusiastic about you before?"
June slapped his lips gently: "I can't say a few words to me for a year, and it's not something he wants to come to Shoukang Palace. If something goes wrong, there will be a demon. I think he also wants to be a demon!"
"I understand!" Xu Bai nodded. June's words confirmed his thoughts. Cao Jixiang was really planning to change the house.
Thinking of Qin Ji beside King Yi, he smiled slightly. Once the emperor is still the same as the minister, King Yi uses Qin Ji as he uses it, but I am afraid he may not be able to use Cao Jixiang.
An eunuch came out to summon him at the door, and June tidied up his clothes and took Xu Bai in.
The Empress Dowager's bedroom was far smaller than Xu Bai imagined, and even compared with the arrangement in the Yi Prince's Mansion, it was not necessarily much luxurious. Xu Bai was a little curious about this woman who had almost turned the tide after the Tumu Fort Incident.
When he saw this Empress Dowager Xiaogong Sun at the first time, Xu Bai almost forgot to ignore the other person's appearance. In his mind, the word "demeanor" was tossed and turned. That's right, Empress Dowager Sun, who was in his fifties, saw that he was a beauty when he was young, and until this age, his beauty had not passed away from her face. The red face turned to the mirror and flowers turned to the trees, which was the most unretainable thing in the world. This is the sorrow of all women.
However, a woman, or a beautiful woman, can completely ignore her beauty when she first sees her. How many things have she experienced!
This kind of demeanor does not seem to be the kind of "elegant and luxurious" that can describe a noble lady. Xu Bai felt that it was more like a kind of demeanor that was confident and everything was under control, a kind of demeanor that "even though I am a daughter, I can still look down on the world."
"...I thought many people might enter the palace at this time, but I didn't expect that it was you, the little girl, who came to see me first!"
Queen Mother Sun was talking to June with a smile. June had just chattered, which almost made the Queen Mother have no chance to interrupt. Although June was talking about the latest news she met after leaving the palace, Queen Mother Sun should not be interested at all, but she still waited for June to finish her speech before slowly speaking.
"I miss you, Queen Mother..." June held Queen Mother Sun's arm and shook it, making Xu Bai slightly shocked. He had never seen June's little daughter's posture before.
"Where is the gift?" Queen Mother Sun laughed: "You think of me like this, you won't even bring a gift for me, you girl, are you talking nonsense!"
"Of course the princess brought gifts to the empress dowager. I am sending someone to count them. I will send them to the Empress dowager to Shoukang Palace when I turn around!" Cao Jixiang interrupted with a smile.
"Is that true?" Empress Dowager Sun looked back at Cao Jixiang with a smile: "I can't wait to see the gift Jiashan brought me back."
"I'll ask someone to send it to the Queen Mother!" Cao Jixiang replied with a smile: "The Queen Mother wait!"
Cao Jixiang bowed and retreated. I wonder if it was Xu Bai's illusion. He felt that when Cao Jixiang left the palace, he looked at him, and when the other party looked at him, there was even a smile on his face.
"I actually didn't bring a gift to the Queen Mother..." When Liu Yue saw Cao Jixiang leave, she looked at the Queen Mother with a hurried look: "I went against the Queen Mother's will and came back from Nanjing in a hurry. Where can I buy a gift!"
"Silly child, I'm not confused yet!" The Empress Dowager smiled slightly: "But, Cao Jixiang said that there would be a gift!"

"He just pleases the Queen Mother!" June muttered: "Of course, I also pleased me!"
"It's not bad!" Queen Mother Sun nodded meaningfully and looked behind Liu Yue: "Actually, you brought me a gift. Not everyone in my Shoukang Palace can come in. All the others you brought are left outside, but the person behind you can come in. Could this be your real gift?"
