By the time both of them had finished choosing, Mengmeng had grabbed a total of six sets.

Of course, it’s not for free. Mengmeng said that when they go back, Xiaoxiao can go to his warehouse and pick whatever she wants.

Xiaoxiao also agreed to bring another batch of jewelry over tomorrow.

Sure enough, what the beautiful master said was right. Women can never resist jewelry at any time.

My aunt is now the queen, and there are many treasures in her storehouse.

Xiaoxiao liked everything she saw, but of course she was quite restrained in the end, as most of the things were forced upon her by her aunt.

After putting everything away, the group went to the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace.

The Empress Dowager has not been feeling well recently. She often has headaches and sometimes feels dizzy when she stands up.

My head hurts like needles and needles, and it’s also because I’m not feeling well and my temper is not very good.

Everyone in Ci'an Palace served cautiously, for fear of being punished.

But no matter how careful the people below were, some people were still punished.

When the group arrived there, they saw people being beaten with sticks in the main courtyard.

The two young eunuchs were lying on the stools, and the boards were hitting them with a "pa-pa-pa" sound. The buttocks of the young eunuchs were already covered in blood.

Xiaoxiao was so shocked that she smacked her lips, "Why is the Queen Mother so bloody?"

This should be the imperial palace. My own home is so peaceful now.

Whether it was my father, mother, or the Queen Mother, they were all very lenient to the people below them and generally seldom used torture.

My aunt couldn't help but frown. Although she was the queen now, she didn't like shouting for war and killing all day long.

Servants in the palace were rarely punished.

The Queen Mother's side is so bloody.

"What's going on here?"

The aunt asked in a low voice. The maid beside her hurriedly said, "Stop it first!"

The two young eunuchs had been beaten to death. The eunuch who was carrying out the execution came over and explained, "Reporting to the Queen, these two people actually soiled the Queen Mother's clothes!"

"Your Queen Mother is too arrogant. She wants to beat someone to death just because his clothes are dirty?" Xiaoxiao sneered and said sarcastically.

The two eunuchs looked cold, "How dare you! Where did this little girl come from?"

"This is our distinguished guest!"

The aura of the little aunt suddenly turned cold, and the two eunuchs were so scared that they fell to their knees, "Empress, this old slave..."

"Why don't you quickly apologize to this distinguished guest of our palace?"

"Old slave..."

The two men raised their eyes and looked at Xiaoxiao secretly. She was just a little girl who was only three or four years old and whose hair had not yet fully grown. She probably couldn't even speak fluently. How could such a person be a distinguished guest? Was the Queen Mother deliberately warning them?

"I'm sorry, dear guest, I was too presumptuous just now!"

The two men did not dare to resist. Although they were from Ci'an Palace and were the confidants of the Empress Dowager, they were nothing more than slaves in the final analysis.

If there really is a conflict, it is not certain whether the Queen Mother will protect them.

He who knows food is a hero. Besides, they were originally lowly eunuchs.

"that's it?"

The aunt sneered, and the two of them slapped themselves in the face, slap-slap-slap, with quite a bit of force.

Xiaoxiao looked at it indifferently. Is this power?

"Okay, Queen, the Queen Mother lets you in!"

A maid came out with an impatient look on her face.

It can be seen that this nanny does not have much respect for the queen.

Otherwise the attitude wouldn't be so condescending.

Xiaoxiao and Mengmeng stood on both sides of the aunt. Mengmeng couldn't help but mutter, "Aunt, when did you become so good-tempered that you actually let a slave stand on your head and shit?"

The aunt glared at her and said, "What are you talking about? You are a girl, can you speak more elegantly in the future?"

Meng Meng snorted, "Am I not telling the truth? You were not like this before! My mother said that you were the most aggressive at home!"

The aunt smiled bitterly. Perhaps people outside thought that the Queen was second only to the emperor and above everyone else, a high and mighty existence. But after she really became the Queen, she found that it was not the case at all.

The pressure of the Queen Mother alone was enough to put her under tremendous pressure.

"Okay, you better stop talking!"

As they were talking, a group of people were led in.

I saw the empress dowager lying on the beauty couch, with two young women massaging her shoulders.

The woman was not wearing palace clothes, and it was obvious that she was not a palace servant.

After my aunt came in, she greeted the Queen Mother and bowed to her. The Queen Mother didn't even lift her eyelids and still kept her eyes closed.

My aunt and Mengmeng were both bent over, only Xiaoxiao was standing upright, looking at the dozing empress dowager.

"You are such a bold servant! You didn't even show respect to the Queen Mother!"

The nanny who led the group in saw Xiaoxiao refusing to greet her and scolded her harshly.

Xiaoxiao was not afraid either, she blinked her eyes and asked, "Why do we have to salute?"

"Little girl, this is the Queen Mother. You have to bow when you see her. This is the most basic etiquette!"

The nanny spoke sternly and waved her hand to ask someone to come and arrest the person.

"But isn't the Queen Mother sleeping?"
