Shangguan Zichen hadn't come to see Ning Guifei for a while, and in his heart he had always had doubts about Ning Guifei's ageless appearance, looking at his mother's young face, he always felt that he couldn't get close, and his mother rarely let him enter the palace.

But in the end, it's his mother, but I don't know what the mother concubine asked him to come for this time?

Ning Guifei was dressed in glory, the red concubine skirt wrapped her delicate body, she bent down slightly, reached out to take care of the flowers in front of her, and pruned off some stumps and dead leaves.

When Shangguan Zichen came, she saw a faint smile on her face, and her mother, who was nearly forty years old, was now even more beautiful than a flower.

"The son-in-law greets the concubine. He bowed and saluted.

"Come on, did the little couple quarrel?" Ning Guifei stopped what she was doing, and immediately a palace maid took out a brocade to wipe her hands.

Ning Guifei took the brocade hand, waved them back, and carefully wiped the water droplets on her fingers.

Shangguan Zichen replied: "It's not the same thing, where will there be a quarrel?"

"I heard the palace maid say that when Miss Wang came out, her eyes were red, it was your man, and she should know how to make his wife feel at ease. Concubine Ning Guifei walked up to him and carefully looked at her son, who looked like her five or six points.

"Erchen doesn't think so, and she's not Erchen's wife now. He had always spoken like this to his mother, telling the truth, and he was also a little hidden.

"When you grow up, you can make your own decisions about some things, and your mother won't interfere with you, but if you want to act according to your heart, you have to look at the time, and now you can't do it, Lu Guogong can help you." "Ning Guifei told him about power for the first time.

"Mother...... Erchen knew. ”

"I asked you to come because I wanted you to do something for my mother. Concubine Ning asked him to sit beside him, and continued: "In the final analysis, this matter was also planned by the concubine for you. ”

Shangguan Zichen saw her suddenly speak in a suppressed voice, and only felt that this matter must be a big rebellion, "Although the mother concubine said, the son-in-law will see if it can be done." ”

"You have been assertive since you were a child, you have to think about everything I say, but you are not allowed to refuse this matter today, this is the first time that the mother concubine has asked you to do this!" Ning Guifei straightened her face and took out the love of mother and son to persuade him.

Shangguan Zichen's smile did not decrease: "The mother concubine said that she laughed, your words, the sons will naturally listen, but there are some things that cannot be done, as a son, you should also dissuade the mother concubine." ”

"You child, the mother concubine can still harm you, now you can see the situation clearly, you and the king of Chu are the two princes in Kyoto, after the king of Chu married Bai Yuxian, he went around to win over the officials of the court, isn't Zichen in a hurry. ”

Ning Guifei glanced at him, and then said: "I am your mother's concubine, as far as your closest person, don't prevaricate me with polite words, just say anything, mother is expensive by child, and in the future, your mother concubine will want you to retire and send her to the end." ”

The corners of Shangguan Zi's slightly thin mouth moved, and he looked at his mother and said: "It's useless for the sons to be anxious, but no matter how much the king of Chu tries to win over the courtiers, he can't go against his father's will, but if the mother concubine is willing to help, the sons are grateful." ”

He actually didn't want her to help, but he wanted to know what the concubine needed him to do, and he wanted to know more about the concubine.

"The mother concubine had an old relationship with Lord Li in the early years, and he can help you, so as not to be taken away by the King of Chu when the opportunity comes. Concubine Ning said without scruples.

"Which Lord Li?" Shangguan Zichen was puzzled.

"Which Lord Li in the court has enough authority in his hands?"

Shangguan Zichen had a plan in his heart, but he couldn't believe that there were several adults surnamed Li in the court, but the one with the greatest authority was Li Buyun, the secretary of the ministry.

But he is Bai Yuxian's grandfather, shouldn't he be on the side of King Chu?

Ning Guifei immediately explained her confusion and said: "Although Lord Li's granddaughter is the princess of Chu, he and his mother also have an old relationship. ”

At this time, Shangguan Zichen confirmed in his heart that Master Li was Li Buyun, and said, "Li Buyun is not worried about displeasing both sides when he acts like this?"

"This is his shrewdness, he is clearly on the side of the King of Chu, but secretly on the side of the concubine, he has investments on both sides, and no matter which of you wins, he will be a hero. When Ning Guifei spoke, her voice was suppressed to an extremely low state.

As far as the two of them could hear, she did it on purpose.

The palace maids in this palace have all been dismissed by her, and no one will hear their conversation.

"What did the concubine ask her sons to do?" Shangguan Zichen asked.

He still didn't quite understand what kind of ability this Li Buyun had to make the always shrewd mother concubine trust.

"I have something here, you give it to Lord Li, and then Lord Li will understand, and will do his best to help you. Concubine Ning said and took out a delicate wooden box from her sleeve.

The box was no bigger than a palm, carved with open peony flowers.

"What is this?"

"You hand it over to him, you will know, don't open it on the road, this box has a mechanism, and the key is with Master Li. Ning Guifei advised: "Remember, don't let others see it." ”

"Mother, why don't you let others send it, I went to Li Shangshu for no reason, wouldn't it arouse suspicion?" Shangguan Zichen didn't reach out to take the hot box.

"No, the people in the court have a clear heart, can't just allow him to win over the courtiers from King Chu, and don't you be allowed to visit Lord Li? Take it, go quickly. Concubine Ning took his hand and placed the box in his hand.

"The Mother ......"

He wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ning Guifei.

"I still have to coax your fiancée to get out of the palace quickly. Ning Guifei said, and sent a message to let people in: "Come on, take out the clothes made in this palace." ”

When the palace maid waiting outside heard the voice, she immediately took the purple robe that had been prepared a long time ago and came in.

Shangguan Zichen quickly put the box away.

"Zichen, this is the winter coat that the concubine made for you, it's cold, remember to wear more. At this time, she was like an ordinary mother, her eyes were full of care.

But Shangguan Zichen felt that she was acting with him and the palace maid, but this play was very real, and he also believed it a little.

"Thank you mother, my son knows, and my mother should also pay attention to the cold. He took the smooth, thick garment, and rubbed his fingers against the pattern on the fabric, which was indeed made by the concubine herself, and this was her embroidery technique.

"You still have something to do, just go and get busy first, remember to be free, come and see your mother and concubine, who is going to get married, and like a child, you will make your fiancée angry, and you still need your mother to coax you. Ning Guifei smiled playfully and got up to send him out.

In the eyes of the mother, the son-in-law is a child no matter what, the son-in-law retired, and the mother stayed. Shangguan Zichen's peach blossom eyes had a different kind of light, when he heard about the marriage.
