Chapter 156 The Only Call of the Empress Dowager

When Ruan Lingzheng heard the words, he raised his eyebrows, pointed to the chessboard and said, "What is it just? Did you invent it?

Mo Ziyao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is checkers. It was not invented by my concubine. In my hometown, er, I learned it from others before I entered the palace. With that, Mo Ziyao put the chessboard in place and told the gameplay and rules of the game again, and the two began to play against each other.

Out of the window, the moon has gradually tilted westward, and the moonlight like a veil gently sprinkled on the floor of Qixia Hall through the window sill. The wall is integrated with the warm yellow wall.

"Ha ha, the emperor is really awesome. My concubine admitted defeat." Mo Ziyao withdrew the chess pieces and said.

Ruan Lingzheng said, "My concubine is also good, just behind me."

"Isn't the emperor making fun of my concubine? Speaking of my concubine and the Pope playing chess, it can also be regarded as your master, but the apprentice is better than the master. Where do you think my master's old face should be put aside?

"Hey..." Ruan Lingzheng smiled happily, "Of course, I don't look at who I am." With that, he stretched out his arm and yawned, and then suddenly said in a low voice to the many maidservant eunuchs below, "You don't need to serve here. Let's all retreat."

"Yes." Everyone filed out. Soon, only Mo Ziyao and he were left in the hall.

"Yuer, come here." Ruan Lingzheng looked at Mo Ziyao and said with a smile.

"Hmm."

Mo Ziyao answered and walked to him. Ruan Lingzheng suddenly reached out and took her arm, let her sit on her lap, and held her in his arms. Gently stroking her dark and bright hair, Ruan Lingzheng said, "Yaoer, I want to tell you something."

"What's the matter?" Mo Ziyao raised her head and asked with a smile.

"Uh..." Looking at Mo Ziyao's smiling eyes, Ruan Lingzheng didn't say anything, but couldn't help leaning down and kissed her petite and seductive cherry lips. Mo Ziyao was stunned at first, then put her hand around his waist and gently closed her eyes.

Half-sound...

"What's the matter, you should say it quickly!" Ruan Lingzheng was not satisfied and wanted to kiss him again. Mo Ziyao quickly pushed him away and asked.

"Well, I think I'll tell you about the blessing handkerchief first."

Mo Ziyao was immediately unhappy when she heard about this, so she turned her head and looked elsewhere and said humming, "Why do you want to tell me? It's up to you."

Ruan Lingzheng stretched out his hand and rubbed Mo Ziyao's long hair on her back and smiled, "Is Yaoer jealous?"

"Hmm! Don't put gold on your face, I don't have it!"

"Well, well, I'm going to Yunfei's side tonight."

At this time, Mo Ziyao pushed Ruan Lingzheng away and jumped off his thigh. She pouted her little mouth, which had been kissed by him and said, "Hum! Go, go, I didn't stop you."

"Haha..." Ruan Lingzheng patted his chest and laughed, "Since you are not jealous, what are you humming? Yaoer, you are so cute like this."

Mo Ziyao gave him a white look and muttered, "Cute? Is there no one to love?" But he didn't think that this sentence was heard by Ruan Lingzheng. As soon as he stretched out his long arm, he pulled Mo Ziyao into his arms. Yaoer, I'm going to wrong you during this period.

Mo Ziyao took a long breath and said in a quiet voice, "Jong, go. I didn't mean to blame you. I know you have no choice but to do so. I can understand and understand you. After saying that, she gently imprinted a kiss on Ruan Lingzheng's lips, "Go quickly."

Ruan Lingzheng really left. Mo Ziyao felt that the hall suddenly became very quiet. She couldn't even hear a sound, only her own gentle breathing. This feeling was so lonely that she didn't like it, so she shouted outside the door, "Come on!"

For a moment, Yunlan came in and asked, "What do you want me to order?"

"What time is it now?" Mo Ziyao looked out of the window at the bright moon that had walked to the west and asked.

"Mother, now I have just entered Hai."

"Hmm." Mo Ziyao waved her hand and said, "It's so late. You all go down and have a rest."

"Yes." Yunlan answered and turned around and retreated.

At this moment, it is late at night, and the watchman has knocked on the third tour. Probably everyone in the palace except the guards on duty has fallen asleep.

"Squeaky" Mo Ziyao's bedroom door was opened from the outside, and a figure suddenly flashed in. He gently walked to Mo Ziyao's bedside, took off his clothes, turned over and pulled the quilt next to her and lay down. Mo Ziyao, who was sleeping, didn't know at all. In the night, there was a pair of big hands gently hugged her from behind.

Ruan Lingzheng went out of Yuyao Palace and really went to Yongshan Palace Yun Zhaoyi. But he stayed in Yongshan Palace for less than half an hour before leaving. He first went back to Tianze Palace, and then just after his son, he sneaked into Mo Ziyao's room.

Until the next day, Mo Ziyao woke up and found that there was a faint residual temperature and a strong fragrance of dragon saliva. She smiled lightly with the quilt in her arms, and then she closed her eyes again and began to dream about her Zhou Gong.

For several days, the empress dowager has not come forward to summon them. It has always been the maidservants around her to convey her will. The concubines felt that the empress dowager was really ill this time, so they began to visit in groups with some precious medicinal materials.

After another month, Mo Ziyao trimmed flowers and plants in the backyard. Yunlan came over and looked at her and said, "Empress, almost all the concubines have gone to see the empress dowager, but they have not seen the empress dowager and are stopped in the hall. Mother, when are you going to go there?

Mo Ziyao put down the scissors and said, "You see, no one can really prove that the Empress Dowager is sick. Since she is not sick, where do I need to see her?" After saying that, she went to the wooden bucket full of clear water and picked up a ladle of water and carefully watered several cold plums that had just been planted.

At this time, Yuzhi hurried over and said, "Empress dowager asked someone to come to Tairen Palace to meet you."

"Oh?" Say Cao Cao and Cao will be there! Mo Ziyao was very surprised that the Empress Dowager sent someone to invite her in person, which made her very surprised and confused. She put down the water ladle and washed the stains on her hands. Yunlan had taken a clean robe and put it on for Mo Ziyao.

"Sister Lan, come with me." Mo Ziyao looked at Yunlan Dao, who was wearing a jade belt for her.

Yunlan stood up, nodded, and told Yuzhi to ask her to prepare some bird's nest, Ganoderma lucidum and other tonics. So the two followed Luer, the maidservant next to the Empress Dowager, to Tairen Palace.

Entering the hall, Luer asked Mo Ziyao to wait here for a moment. She went in alone to inform. It took a long time to see Lu'er come back. She said to Mo Ziyao, "Empress Yao, the Empress Dowager invites you to meet at the Lifo Temple." With that, she took a look at Yunlan.

Yunlan hurriedly said, "Mother, I went to put these gifts with Huaner before I came to you."

"Hmm." Mo Ziyao nodded and didn't say much.

"Mother, please." Luer stretched out her left hand and made a gesture of invitation, and Mo Ziyao followed her into the inner hall.

This is the first time for Mo Ziyao to come to the inner hall. It is not the dormitory of the Empress Dowager, but a slightly dark corridor inside. After walking behind Luer for a long time, and then passed through several halls and corridors. It's really complicated to turn left and right.

Mo Ziyao couldn't help asking, "I don't know if the Empress Dowager Xuanben Palace went there. Is there anything important?"

Lu'er beside her smiled and said, "It's okay, but the Empress Dowager feels that she hasn't seen her mother for many days. She is worried and wants to talk to you."

What a smooth word, Mo Ziyao thought, and never knew why she and the empress dowager got so close all of a sudden? Oh, the maidservant around the Empress Dowager naturally can't be underestimated.

While talking, the road ahead finally became bright. Mo Ziyao looked up and saw that they had walked out of the dark corridor and came to the foot of a mountain. The mountain is shaded by trees, and you can't see the top of the mountain at a glance.

I was stunned to see the steps paved with bluestone winding up in front of me, and I couldn't see the end at all, until it was annihilated in the green woods. I didn't expect that there was a hill behind the Tairen Palace where the Empress Dowager lived.

Only then did Mo Ziyao understand why it took so long for Luer to report.

"Empress dowager, the empress dowager worships the Buddha in the Buddhist temple on the top of the mountain." She looked at the direction of the top of the mountain and said, and then bent her body slightly to make way out. Madam, the Empress Dowager asked you to go alone. You can go straight along this step.

Mo Ziyao's heart is moved. Yunlan was in the front, and she only let herself go alone. What kind of medicine is sold in the Empress Dowager's old gourd?

Since it was the will of the Empress Dowager, Mo Ziyao naturally couldn't say anything, so she lifted her skirt and walked up step by step.

After walking for nearly a quarter of an hour, Mo Ziyao finally saw the Buddhist temple surrounded by green mountains and green water. When I walked in, I found that the air here was very good. There were some flowers and plants planted around the temple, and some flowers and plants were actually flying on it.

The temple is not too big, only one main hall and three wing rooms. There was a faint sound of knocking on the wooden fish in the temple. Mo Ziyao followed the sound and entered the hall. The first thing she saw was a statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva made of pure gold. On the cushion in front of the statue, a plainly dressed lady was kneeling there with Buddha beads in one hand and beating the wooden fish with a wooden hammer in the other.

Although this woman is dressed in simple clothes, she still reveals a majestic and noble temperament that is not underestimated. This person is the empress dowager. Thinking about it, the sound of the wooden fish heard outside the courtyard came from here.

On such occasions, you are determined not to wear gorgeous clothes, otherwise you will be disrespectful to the Bodhisattva. Mo Ziyao quickly lowered her head to look at her clothes. Fortunately, she worked in the back garden today and was not particularly gorgeous. Her eyes swept slightly and found that there was an empty mat beside the empress dowager, so she knelt down with her hands folded and worshipped the Manjushri Bodhisattva three times.

"Is Concubine Yao here?" At this time, the sound of tapping the wooden fish stopped abruptly. Mo Ziyao turned her head and saw that the empress dowager was ready to get up.

Mo Ziyao hurried forward to salute, "My concubine, please say good luck to the empress dowager." Then he reached out to hold the Empress Dowager's right hand and sat down at the table next to her.

The Empress Dowager looked at the kettle on the table. Mo Ziyao was understanding and quickly took out a teacup to fill her with a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Empress dowager, please use tea."

The Empress Dowager took a few sips before she said, "Facon Yao, sit down, too."

Mo Ziyao sat down opposite the empress dowager. At this time, she heard the empress dowager say, "Does Yao know why the mourning family called you alone?"

After listening to this, Mo Ziyao immediately felt a little embarrassed. The Empress Dowager called her to come. It must be because a few days ago, when everyone heard that she was ill, they came to see her with gifts, but she had refused to come to visit. Presumably, she felt that she was too arrogant, so she specially asked someone to call her to come. Questioning, right?
