Chapter 155 Blatant bribery?
Empress Gongsun was chatting with Hu Hongyu when she saw Qin Mo running into the Lizheng Hall and hiding behind her, "Empress Mother, help me!"
Before Queen Gongsun could react, Li Shilong rushed in angrily with a riding crop, "You bastard, get out of here and see if I can't beat you to death!"
Seeing this scene, Queen Gongsun quickly protected Qin Mo behind her, "Your Majesty, why are you so angry?"
"Niannu, you don't know how annoying this silly boy is. If I don't teach him a lesson today, I won't be worthy of being his father-in-law!"
As soon as Li Shilong finished speaking, Hu Hongyu hurriedly saluted and said, "I am here to see your majesty!"
Li Shilong was stunned, a little embarrassed, why is Hu Hongyu here? He quickly put the riding whip behind him, put on his cold look again, nodded, "Pingshen!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hu Hongyu stood up and looked at Qin Mo curiously with her beautiful eyes.
"Qin Mo, what did you do to make your father-in-law angry?" Queen Gongsun asked.
"Mother, my son-in-law has been wronged!" Qin Mo looked aggrieved, "I finally entered the palace, and my father-in-law called me to the Tai Chi Palace. He must have wanted to squeeze me and put me on duty. I My whole body is covered with injuries, and I can’t sleep because of the pain every night. He’s so cruel, he’s using me like a bull!”
Li Shilong was extremely angry, while Hu Hongyu was extremely surprised.
Qin Mo called Queen Gongsun 'mother'? Even if he is the Prince Consort, he can't be called that, right?
Looking at Queen Gongsun's natural look, it was obvious that Qin Mo had always called her that.
"You idiot, get out of here!"
"No, I'm just staying with my mother today! Mother, look at the cannibalistic look in my father-in-law's eyes, I will definitely be beaten to death if I go out!" Qin Mo looked scared.
Empress Gongsun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She walked over and took the riding whip from Li Shilong's hand, and then took his hand, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. I'll talk to him!"
Li Shilong snorted, "This idiot actually thinks that the title I gave him as a male from Jianguo County is too low, and he still wants to be a Marquis!"
Only then did Queen Gongsun know why Li Shilong was so angry.
"Originally, the duke of my family is hereditary. When my father is gone, the duke will be mine. Who cares about the founding county man? Father-in-law, you are so stingy." Qin Mo snorted: "Mother-in-law Sir, please judge whether I am being unreasonable or he is too stingy."
"You're such a skinny monkey. You've made great achievements with your military exploits, and you're a good man in the county. Think about it. If you become a marquis now, what will those people think?" They must be mentally unbalanced. You are so smart and so loyal. If you make more contributions in the future, Your Majesty will definitely reward you! "Queen Gongsun said.
Qin Mo scratched his head, "The Queen Mother is right, forget it, then I don't want the Marquis. Let's talk about it later when I make meritorious deeds!"
Li Shilong was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but since Hu Hongyu was here, he couldn't really do it. He just said angrily: "Follow me!"
"Where to go? I'm not going. I'm hungry. I want to eat at my mother's place at noon today!"
Qin Mo started to cheat. As long as he didn't leave the Zhengdian Hall, Li Shilong had nothing to do with him.
"are you going!"
"No, I haven't recovered yet. I was chased by you for so long, which affected my wound. It hurts so much. I need a good rest!"
"I'll have someone carry you out!"
"No, I want to eat at the Queen Mother's place!"
Seeing the two people staring at each other, Queen Gongsun and Hu Hongyu looked at each other, inexplicably feeling that these two men were interesting.
Hu Hongyu now understood how favored Qin Mo was, and she was probably the only one who dared to talk to Li Shilong like this.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing. I ordered something from Haidilao, and we'll eat here together later!" Queen Gongsun's head was getting big. "How can Haidilao's food be as delicious as this brat's!" Li Shilong said dissatisfied: "Idiot, go to the imperial dining room to get something delicious. Just make it according to my taste!"
Qin Mo immediately quit, "No, I'm too tired and can't do it!"
Li Shilong blew his beard angrily and stared, "Do you really think I don't dare to hit you?"
Qin Mo said nothing and hid tightly behind Queen Gongsun.
"Okay, Your Majesty, Qin Mo is indeed injured. Let him go this time. You are such a real monkey. Why can't you talk properly? But my mother suddenly wants to eat the glutinous rice cake you made. How about..."
"I'll do it right away!" Qin Mo said quickly: "How about frying some side dishes that Queen Mother likes to eat? Oh, by the way, Aunt Hu, do you like spicy or sweet?"
Hu Hongyu said: "I can do it!"
"Row!"
Qin Mo nodded and snapped his fingers, "Old Feng, come with me to the imperial dining room!"
Feng Jin nodded, "Your majesty, empress, my servant has gone!"
Li Shilong snorted, this heartless fool, he couldn't even finish a sentence of the Queen even if he said ten sentences.
This bitch is so irritating!
Looking at Qin Mo's back, Li Shilong cursed fiercely.
Empress Gongsun said with a smile: "Your Majesty does not look angry at all!"
Li Shilong was scolded with hatred, but there was no anger on his face, instead he was full of smiles! "This brat knows how to anger me and go against me. Sooner or later, he will break his legs!"
Li Shilong cursed. In fact, he enjoyed it quite a lot. He even had a ridiculous idea flashing through his mind. It would be great if Qin Mo was his biological son! Hu Hongyu said with a smile: "Qin Mo is really loved by His Majesty."
Li Shilong waved his hand, "Xiangru is not at home, so I have to keep an eye on this kid for him to prevent him from causing trouble outside every day!"
At this time, Qin Mo came to the imperial dining room, "Old Feng, you haven't eaten the food I cooked, have you?"
Feng Jin said: "I'm lucky enough to have tasted it twice, both times as a reward from the empress. The taste is simply amazing!"
He gave a thumbs up, still feeling some aftertaste.
"Hey, look at your pitiful look. The food in the palace is not good, right? That's no good. If you don't eat well every day, you won't care about taking care of my mother-in-law. How about this, I will take care of your food from now on!"
Qin Mo said: "I saw that my mother-in-law has lost a lot of weight recently. Lao Feng, you have to give me some snacks, supplement my mother-in-law's nutrition, and remind her to rest on time.
I know that the court is very short of money now. Tell your mother, if you need money in the future, just come to me. You can save some money by sewing and threading in the harem every day.
Look at your clothes. Have they been mended several times? "
Feng Jin was a little embarrassed, "I have made up for it a few times. Your Majesty leads by example. As servants, we must also respond!"
"You poor man, take this gold and spend it to buy yourself two sets of clothes!"
With that said, Qin Mo took out two 20-tael gold ingots and stuffed them into Feng Jin's hand.
Feng Jin was stunned. Is this a blatant bribery? (End of this chapter)
