Chapter 231

As soon as Mu Wanqing returned to Beijing, she gave her a big gift, and the emperor was not stingy, and rewarded her with a palace with a hot spring.

Mu Wanqing's eyes lit up when she heard that there was a hot spring, that's good.

The first meeting between the monarch and the minister was still very pleasant, and the impression of each other was good.

One is a tolerant and magnanimous gentleman, and the other is a maverick, but has great ability, feelings and love.

"Since you have entered the palace, I will go to the Cining Palace to meet the Queen Mother, Shaoxuan, and lead the Qingping County Lord over there."

"Yes."

As soon as the people left, the emperor looked at the eldest prince who was holding the drawing board tightly, "Emperor, do you seem to like the Qingping County Lord?"

'She didn't flatter me, she even pinched my face, but..." The eldest prince didn't know how to describe it for a while, and he was sweating anxiously. "She made me feel very comfortable. "

She has a unique amiable temperament that makes people want to get close.

The emperor glanced at his son, "She respects everyone from the bottom of her heart, including children, and will not be perfunctory because of her young age."

"Hmm." The eldest prince nodded vigorously, that's what he meant, "Who is she?"

"She is a very remarkable person." This was the emperor's evaluation of Mu Wanqing.

He also has no experience in parenting, and completely follows the pattern taught by the late emperor back then.

Teaching by precept and example is very important, and it is also important to reason with children.

He detailed Mu Wanqing's journey from being an exiled prisoner, to taking his family out of crime, to becoming a village head, county head, and to the rise of the left servant of the Ministry of Housing.

He didn't describe it too much, just said it straight, but the eldest prince listened with enthusiasm, and his eyes were full of small stars.

Bravo.

But there is a question in the little head, "She is a woman, can she also be an official?"

The emperor asked strangely, "Why not? The king's most important task is to choose the best talents in the world and use them. Who stipulates that talents can only be men?"

The eldest prince blinked, well, the most beloved father said so, it must be right.

As soon as the queen mother heard that Mu Wanqing was coming, she immediately cheered up, looked in the mirror, and asked the daughter-in-law on the side, "Is the Ai family okay?"

The queen had a smile on her face, "Mother, you are the queen dowager of a country, so high above, why should you care about other people's eyes?"

The queen mother was silent, "Shao Xuan likes her very much."

In fact, she had a good impression of Mu Wanqing. Every time Mu Wanqing gave gifts to the late emperor, she would give a copy to the empress dowager, which gave her enough dignity.

People come and go, you come and I go, and after a long time, there will naturally be a bit of friendship.

The queen's eyes flashed slightly, "If you want me to say, the King of Xiliang is good at everything, but he has never seen many women, and he is too simple in terms of women's sex, which is easy to be deceived."

This remark hits the Queen Mother's mind. She doesn't know it, but Du Shaoxuan doesn't listen to the persuasion.

The nephew's marriage has become a big problem, worrying her to death.

The queen said softly, "If you think people are okay, give them marriages in person, lest the King of Xiliang keep waiting in vain, he is not too young, this is also a good talk."

The queen mother shook her head slightly, she knew the character of her nephew best, "Shao Xuan said no rush."

The queen said with a smile, "He said that he is not in a hurry, but he may not think so in his heart. Who doesn't want to hold the beauty back?"

The queen mother was shaken by what she said, "What you said also makes sense."

There is nothing more important than the success of the Du family.

At this moment, the servant said, "The Queen Mother, the King of Xiliang and Qingping are asking for advice."

The queen mother quickly sat down, "let them in."

A pair of young men and women walked in side by side, the man was very handsome, and the woman was unparalleled, standing together very seductively.

The queen mother couldn't help but secretly applaud, what a pair of well-matched little children.

Du Shaoxuan cupped his hands, "I have seen the queen mother, I have seen the queen."

But Mu Wanqing couldn't be so casual, so she naturally had to give a big gift when they met for the first time.

Her manners were perfect, her pitching was graceful and unhurried, and she couldn't fault her at all.

The queen mother couldn't help looking at the woman in front of her. She was dressed in a sky blue robe, with a jade crown and hair.

She nodded slightly, her appearance, temperament, and demeanor were the perfect choice, no wonder her nephew was obsessed with it.

"You just arrived in the capital, are you still used to it?"

"I can get used to it wherever I go." Mu Wanqing smiled brightly, "Thank you for your concern, this is a small gift, not a tribute."

She passed a brocade box with both hands, and the Queen Mother was stunned, "What is this?"

"It's a perfume. It's made of spices and flowers." Mu Wanqing simply opened the lid and sprayed the air twice. An elegant floral fragrance filled the room, causing everyone to take a deep breath. .

The queen mother liked this smell very much, "Is this smell of peony?"

Her favorite flower is peonies.

Mu Wanqing smiled and said, "The queen mother is graceful and luxurious. The king of flowers, peony, is the most suitable for you. Just spray it on the wrist and behind the ears, and it will emit a fragrance as you walk. The fragrance lasts for a long time and does not disperse for a long time."

Her calm touting made the Queen Mother in a good mood, and the Queen Mother was very interested in perfume, "This is a specialty of Xiliang? Shaoxuan, why don't you send such a good thing to Aijia?"

Du Shaoxuan screamed in frustration, "Queen Mother, how could I not give you something good? I don't know about it."

Mu Wanqing can testify, "This is a new product that I developed on my way to the capital. The young marshal really didn't know it."

What is the best money to make? Women and children's money, children's dollhouses, and women's fragrances are all ways to make money.

The queen mother was stunned, and she couldn't believe it, "You developed it?"

Du Shaoxuan couldn't help but interjected, "Queen Mother, have you forgotten those soaps? Those are all from the Qingping County Lord."

Only then did the queen mother remember that those few delicate and beautiful soaps of different colors were always her favorite.

"I didn't expect you to have such talent. However, these are always trails. Women always want to get married. Women's flowering period is very short. It's just a few years, I missed it..."

Du Shaoxuan suddenly interrupted, "The Queen Mother, you received a gift from the Qingping County Lord. Shouldn't it be time to return the gift? Ah, there is also a meeting gift."

Empress Dowager: ... stinky boy, you know that she is protecting her sweetheart, and she doesn't even think about who she is working so hard for.

She glared at him angrily and instructed to go on, "Go, get the lily and dark flower brocade and the head and face inlaid with pearls and jasper."

They are all tributes, a rare good quality.

Mu Wanqing thanked her happily, as if nothing had happened.

The queen mother likes girls who love to laugh, and Geely is happy.

Du Shaoxuan said coldly, "Queen, where's your meeting ceremony?"

The queen was silent, and pulled off the emerald-inlaid pearl flower hairpin on her head, "Qingping County Master has seen so many good things, but don't despise the simple."

Mu Wanqing didn't seem to hear anything, so she took it generously, "The Empress is joking, if your things are not good, there will be no good things in this world."

The two looked at each other and then moved away.

The queen mother's thoughts were all on her nephew, and she didn't care about the dark front in their words.

The two met with the three giants in the palace, and Du Shaoxuan found an excuse to drag Mu Wanqing out of the palace, and couldn't wait to catch up.

After returning to the county head mansion, everyone was in a hurry. Mu Wanqing sat casually on the couch by the window and picked up the food on the small table, "Is my performance okay today?"

The most important people saw today were all the most important people, so she thought she was playing games to pass the level.

The emperor is the biggest boss, and the eldest prince is the future boss. The relationship between the two is good.

The queen mother is getting old, so coax her.

As for the queen...it doesn't matter.

Du Shaoxuan looked at her smiling face greedily, and praised with a thumbs up, "Perfect, everyone has a good impression of you."

Mu Wanqing asked herself how to deal with it properly. There was nothing to choose from. If she felt that she was not good, it must be the other party's problem.

"Excluding the queen, I don't remember offending her."

Du Shaoxuan didn't expect her to be so keen, and honestly confessed, "I offended her."

Okay, the city gate caught fire and Chiyu was affected. It didn't matter if Mu Wanqing knew the reason.

In the eyes of others, she and Du Shaoxuan both belong to the Xiliang Group and are a community of interests.

"It's too stingy to be the mother of a country."

Du Shaoxuan comforted, "It's okay, you don't have many opportunities to deal with each other. You are in the court, and she is in the harem. According to the rules, you can't see more often."

The Empress had an opinion on her, but Mu Wanqing didn't plan to please the Empress. She also had a temper.

"That's good. Well water doesn't make river water."

Anyway, people don't offend me, I don't offend others, if someone offends me, I'll kill the other party,

She didn't take the Empress to heart, "By the way, accompany me to pay homage to the late Emperor tomorrow, the late Emperor has been kind to me."

The imperial mausoleum is not something she can go to if she wants to, so let Du Shaoxuan say hello to the emperor.

"it is good."

The next day, Mu Wanqing went to the emperor's mausoleum early in the morning to pay homage to the late emperor. Although they had never met, they exchanged letters, and the late emperor even gave her a gold medal to save her from dying.

She kept this kindness in her heart, prayed for a long time when offering the incense, and thanked him sincerely.

She promised that as long as the new emperor trusted her and valued her like he did, she would stand up for her.

Although she travels in a low-key manner, as soon as she enters the capital, she is targeted by many people, and her every move is under the eyes of others.

But no one expected that she would go to the imperial mausoleum.

After the emperor found out, he sighed a few words with the eldest prince. He was a person who attached great importance to love and righteousness. The first emperor did not see the wrong person.

On the third day, Mu Wanqing took people to Huangzhuang at the foot of Luoxia Mountain outside the city, ready to take over.

Huangzhuang Zhuangtou frowned when he heard the news, his face was full of displeasure, and he called a few companions to discuss the matter overnight.

The good Huangzhuang has become the Zhuangzi of Qingping County, and it is not a good thing to change the owner.

Huangzhuang is very noble with the word "Imperial", who disrespects him?

"You really want to obey a woman? I heard that she is a powerful character, and she can't rub the sand in her eyes."

Several people looked at each other, and their expressions were not good-looking.

They gang up on each other, deceive the top and the bottom, enrich their personal pockets, and make a fortune. These small days are more comfortable than ordinary officials.

"But is there any way to drive her away?"

"It's impossible to drive away, first find a way to fool it." Zhuang Tou rolled his eyes, "As long as she doesn't look down on this Huangzhuang and is as careless as the Ministry of Internal Affairs, we can still do business as usual."

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is exclusively responsible for the royal family's industries. Once there are too many industries, problems will easily arise.

When meet an incompetent manager again, will try to fool self, saying that don’t have much production and really believe it.

"Let's have a look at those fake account books, don't make any mistakes."

"The officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not find out the problem, and it is even more impossible for the Qingping county owner. Don't panic, just relax."

But their hearts were too early.

"Qingping County Lord is here, hurry up."
