Arrived at the Heavenly Palace, the guards stopped outside the palace, Qing Yuanzun entered the palace alone, and there was already a palace maid waiting at the door to welcome him in, and the palace maid led him all the way to the Sunset Garden.

In a corner of the garden, the faint piano sound is melodious, the green lord on the pavilion is leaning on the railing, Shangguan Qing is standing quietly, there are no idle people around, and the few concubines and palace maids who served before have been retired.

The green lord was condescending, his slender eyes were looking down at the woman who was stroking the qin below, and the pink clothes were charming, and the latter looked up with affection from time to time while the slender ten fingers were moving.

"I played the piano well. The green lord commented lightly.

Shangguan Qing on the side said with a smile: "Concubine Qin's piano skills are unmatched in the harem. ”

If you let the concubine who plays the piano below know that Shangguan Qing praises her like this, I am afraid that I will be grateful, and you need to know that the words of the chief manager in front of Your Majesty are often better than your countless charms, and attract Your Majesty's attention.

"Concubine Qin?" Lord Qing pondered slightly, he couldn't even remember that there was a concubine with this name, he just wanted to listen to the qin for a while and asked Shangguan Qing to recruit someone, and now look at this woman's appearance and piano skills are indeed extraordinary. "Is the surname Qin my real surname?"

Shangguan Qing replied: "No, I changed it before entering the palace, I should hope to attract His Majesty's attention." ”

The green lord looked down, "Is there really no one in the harem who can match the piano skills?"

Shangguan Qing bowed slightly, "This is true, some talents cannot be achieved by diligent practice, Concubine Qin Niangniang does have this talent, I am afraid it is also the reason why she entered the palace." ”

The green lord looked back, "How much benefit have you received from others?" ”

Shangguan Qing was a little embarrassed, he did accept the benefits of others, otherwise he would not have just ordered Concubine Qin to touch the qin, let alone help to speak, and said with an embarrassed smile: "It is true that he gave the old slave some rare things." ”

The green lord glanced at him, and then his gaze fell on the woman below, "Which family paid tribute?" ”

Shangguan Qing replied: "The Ying family paid tribute, and it has been some years since they entered the palace. ”

The green lord stared at the woman's posture, his eyes turned on the full snow white of the woman's chest, and then fixed on her extremely graceful ups and downs, and finally slowly closed his eyes and listened to the elegant piano sound for a while, and finally said slowly: "Since you owe the favor of the chief manager, I will go to the concubine to sleep tonight." ”

This is the benefit of having the people around the Emperor of Heaven to help speak, there are countless beauties in the harem, not everyone can have the opportunity to get wet in the rain and dew, Shangguan Qing recommended it a little, and the matter was done, it was really ten thousand times stronger than Concubine Qin's self-effort.

"Yes!" Shangguan Qing nodded.

Who knew that the young master said lightly, "What kind of rare thing is it that you sent?"

Shangguan Qing bowed slightly and said, "It has been placed in the cabinet of the Star Palace." "There are a lot of people who send him things, but he doesn't dare to swallow them privately, he will give them to the green lord to look at first, and he will take what the green lord doesn't want for himself.

Lord Qing's eyes squinted at the figure of Qing Yuanzun who appeared at the turn of the covered bridge in the distance, and turned his head to signal, Shangguan Qing immediately stretched out his head and said to Concubine Qin who was caressing the qin below, signaling her to go back and prepare, His Majesty wants her to sleep tonight.

Concubine Qin stopped the melody in her hand, got up and saluted upwards to leave, and did not forget to leave a grateful look for Shangguan Qing before leaving, and the guqin left behind was also taken away by the accompanying palace maids.

"Father!" Qing Yuanzun, who came, nodded slightly to Shangguan Qing after saluting, which can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill.

These henchmen around his father, even he doesn't dare to offend, the person who can see his father at any time and can talk to his father at any time is really not something he can offend, maybe a sentence or two at a critical moment can change his fate, it is not a joke, the consequences are very serious. So even if it is Xiahou Chengyu's most hated broken army, Xiahou Chengyu also told his son to show goodwill, she can tear her face with the broken army, but her son can't do this.

You need money to make a relationship, and there is a lot of money in the palace, and the green lord has his own way of disciplining his son, and he will not condone his son's extravagance, and the people below don't dare to get too close to Qing Yuanzun, for fear that the green lord will have any ideas. In the early years, Xiahou Chengyu was not short of money to spend, because there was no place to spend money, but after having this son, for the sake of his son's future, there was a lot of money to spend. Of course, Xiahou Chengyu can open his mouth to the Xiahou family, and the Xiahou family will definitely not lack her expenses, but the dignified queen opens her mouth to ask for money from the family after all... It's easier and easier to lose confidence, but fortunately, after helping Miao Yi, Miao Yi really didn't disappoint her, and the regular filial piety was very generous, giving her strong financial support, so Xiahou Chengyu likes Yun Zhiqiu very much, no way, Yun Zhiqiu sends money every time he comes back, can you not like it?

Of course, Xiahou Chengyu also reciprocated the peach, some people talked about the Netherworld army guarding the Youquan and sitting on the ground to make a fortune, suggesting that it be banned, or the collected taxes and fees were managed, Miao Yi heard the news from Pang Guan, and immediately informed Xiahou Chengyu, Xiahou Chengyu immediately put on his face, and pulled his son to find the green lord together, saying that someone bullied their mother and son, on the surface, it seemed that they were going to the cow and were virtuous, but in fact they came to their mother and son, and asked the green lord to be the master, seeing that his son had a tense face and did not speak, the green lord of Youquan was not able to press down.

"Your Highness!" Shangguan Qing saluted respectfully.

The green lord turned around from the railing, walked to the seat and sat down, and looked his son up and down, although this son was really affected by the strong bloodline of the Xiahou family, he was not good-looking, but it was not ugly, and the eyebrows were somewhat similar to his green master, plus Xiahou Chengyu's discipline of this son did put a lot of thought, no matter what his nature was, at least his words and deeds and bearing were still very decent, which made him very pleased.

beckoned, motioned for Qing Yuanzun to sit down on the stool below, and Fang smiled faintly: "How was Xiahou Tuo's funeral?"

Qing Yuanzun: "Naturally, it is the scenery, but the queen mother seems to have been touched this time, and it is indeed a little touching." ”

Lord Qing nodded, "After all, your mother grew up in Xiahou's family, Xiahou Tuo is the pillar of Xiahou's family, and he loves your mother a lot, and it is inevitable to be sentimental. ”

Maybe the green lord himself didn't realize that after having this son, the green lord's attitude towards Xiahou Chengyu has changed some unconsciously, maybe he still doesn't have any affection, but he does have more family affection with each other that he didn't have before, and he has more or less a little bit.

Others may not be able to see this, but Shangguan Qing, who is a close minister, sees it most clearly.

Qing Yuanzun, who was sitting precariously, nodded silently.

The green lord suddenly chuckled again: "I heard that you saw Niu Youde this time, and you talked privately for a while. ”

Qing Yuanzun secretly felt a pang in his heart, he didn't expect his father to even know about the affairs in the Xiahou family's private house, and he had obviously avoided the guards at that time, and nodded: "Yes, the queen mother hopes that her sons will learn more from Niu Youde." ”

"Oh!" the green lord smiled and asked, "Then what do you think of Niu Youde?"

Qing Yuanzun: "It's not clear yet, but I think it's a little interesting." ”

"Isn't it interesting?" asked the young lord with interest, "What did you talk to him about?" ”

"We talked a lot...... "Qing Yuanzun 1510 reported the conversation between himself and Miao Yi in detail, and did not hide anything.

In fact, this is also Yang Qing's strategy to let Miao Yi dedicate it to Xiahou Chengyu early, and let Xiahou Chengyu warn Qing Yuanzun very early, don't hide anything from the Qing Lord, especially in the Tiangong area, the mother and son are weak and have no cover, there should be nothing to hide from the eyes of the Qing Lord, the consequences of deceiving the Qing Lord are very serious, once or twice may be nothing, and the number of times will definitely make the Qing Lord disgusted, so even if you do something wrong, it doesn't matter if you tell the Qing Lord directly, as long as you don't deceive the Qing Lord, the Qing Lord will give Qing Yuanzun a burden. To some extent, Xiahou Chengyu can deceive Lord Qing, but Qingyuanzun can't do this.

Similarly, after seeing Miao Yi's bet with the ministers at the birthday banquet, Xiahou Chengyu has regarded Miao Yi as a think tank, and will secretly contact Miao Yi for advice on anything, and Miao Yi has also made it clear through Xiahou Chengyu the internal trends of the Heavenly Palace.

After mastering the internal trends of the Heavenly Palace, Miao Yi once again sighed at Yang Qing's resourcefulness, and took a fancy to Xiahou Chengyu's move very early, and analyzed the relationship between Xiahou Chengyu and the Xiahou family and the Qing Lord, so that he could take the opportunity to bite it early, otherwise how could he dare to attack the people in the hands of the Xiahou family and the Qing Lord, and now he has really benefited a lot.

When he heard Qing Yuanzun keep asking some questions that Niu Youde couldn't speak, Qing Zhu couldn't help but purse his lips, "Did he tell you the truth in the end?"

Qing Yuanzun: "No, the evaluation that Erchen gave him in person was that as long as it was a bad thing he had done, he would not admit it." ”

"Haha! That's right, the reviews are incisive. Lord Qing laughed, and Shangguan Qing on the side also laughed.

After Qing Yuanzun said that Miao Yi said that he and the Qing Lord could not urinate in the same pot, the Qing Lord suddenly couldn't laugh, and his face sank.

Shangguan Qing also scolded, "What a presumptuous guy!"

The father and son talked and asked about their son's current situation, and after the Qing Lord asked Qing Yuanzun to retreat, and then said to Shangguan Qing: "Summoning Sima to ask the sky to see me!"

Shangguan Qing knew what he meant, this was preparing to touch the situation of the Netherworld Capital Mansion and wanted to grasp some handles, although he would not give Niu Youde anything, but it was estimated that he would also give Niu Youde a little color.

Not long after, Sima Wentian was called.

After he saw the ceremony, the green lord didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Is there anything abnormal in the Netherworld Capital Mansion recently?"

Sima Wentian quickly pondered the intention of these words, glanced at Shangguan Qing, and didn't see the answer he wanted to know, so he could only report according to the truth: "There is nothing abnormal overall, but I received a reply from the spy, according to Niu Youde himself, I saw Niangniang and His Royal Highness in the Tianweng Mansion, and Niu Youde said some rebellious words after he came back, but there is no evidence for this matter, once the human witness is found, the spy is afraid that his identity will be exposed." ”

"What do you say?" the green lord squinted and said, "What did you say?"

Sima asked Tianhui: "It was His Highness who spoke a little ruthlessly, but he explained to the people around him, and he must be respectful when he sees His Highness in the future, saying that he had to betray His Majesty, and it is rare to trust His Majesty if he is loyal to His Majesty, saying that His Majesty is no longer worthy of his allegiance, saying that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are not his reliable way to retreat, and he is now tied to the Tianqi Palace, and in the future, he can only be loyal to His Royal Highness, and there is no other choice, so he probably said these and so on." ”

Lord Qing's face was gloomy, and the sentence 'Your Majesty is no longer worthy of his allegiance' was extremely harsh when it came to his ears. (To be continued.) )
