On weekdays, I enter the palace from the south gate to enter and exit, today is a big thing, but some do not want to go through the prime ministers' access to the south of the Ya, so specially asked people to go around to the north gate, think about it again and again, or first hand the door to see the mother, I thought that there was such a big thing happening, when there was a delay in conveying, who knew that in less than a moment someone came out to announce the order, saying that the Queen Mother summoned us in the Taiji Palace - this decree is from the long optimistic to me Wang De, said to be an old acquaintance.

As soon as I saw Wang De, I felt a little uneasy in my heart, Zheng Bo was on the side, I didn't want to say anything, so I bowed down to her from the car: "I'm tired of fifteen mothers." ”

Zheng Bo saw that she was wearing green clothes, and looked at me with some puzzlement, I gave him a look, although he didn't understand, but he also followed solemnly, and didn't dare to make a mistake.

Wang De took us to the Chengxiang Palace, gave a few words to the people in the palace, and turned around and said: "The concubine will go to the Queen Mother, and invite the princess and the concubine to meet here." ”

Zheng Bo said awkwardly: "Please give birth to the Queen Mother, the minister is a foreign man, and it seems inappropriate to live in the inner palace?"

Wang Dedao: "This is the order of the Queen Mother, but the horse stays here, there is no need to bother." She waited no longer for us to call her, but turned and walked out. I knew that the matter was urgent, and I was familiar with the palace, but it was better, Zheng Bo immediately broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and called "fifteen ladies" in vain, chased a step, and saw several palace people stand up, and the first one smiled: "The queen mother has an order, please wait here for a while." ”

Zheng Bo's face was pale, and when he looked back at me, my heart was beating rapidly, my palms were sweating, and I could only pretend to be calm on my face, and comforted him: "Since A-Niang told us to wait, we will wait here." Seeing that more than 20 palace people around him were dressed in Hu clothes, he asked the leader, "Are you a Mulan rider?"

The man bowed his hand to me: "Concubine Hu Lu Duobao, ride the team for Mulan." ”

When I heard that it was Dugu Shao's subordinate, I felt a little relieved and said with a smile: "Is Dugu Sixteen on duty today? Where is she now? I haven't seen her for a long time, and I don't know where this little lady has gone." ”

Hu Lu Duobao just shook his head: "I don't know." ”

I saw that she didn't say, the more I felt that this matter was serious, and raised my eyes to see Zheng Bo, he was also the master of the six gods, but Hu Lu Duobao saw that we were panicked, and took a pair of backgammon, I thought that the matter had come to this point, panic was useless, so I invited Zheng Bo to play chess, and I couldn't play a few games, and suddenly there was a messenger to pass the word: "The Queen Mother summoned the horse." ”

Zheng Bo was already drenched, looked at me, and said tremblingly: "Erniang?"

I lost the chess and said: "Since A-Niang is called, Erlang will go well." Thinking that Li Sheng and him were both "Erlang", he sighed in his heart, got up and straightened his plain clothes for him, and whispered: "No matter what, it's always right to listen to A-Niang." ”

He looked at me ignorantly, and was stumbled out by a few chamberlains, and Hu Lu Duobao waited for him to go out, and then looked at me: "How many concubines are looking for to play chess with the princess?"

My heart moved, and I smiled: "Dugu Sixteen is not here, Cui Er is always here, you asked her to accompany me." ”

Hulu Duobao glanced at me and retreated, and saw Cui Mingde wearing plain narrow sleeves and slowly coming over with a waiter, I smiled when I saw her: "Dugu Sixteen is really eccentric, my waiter doesn't know where to send it, but you can still bring one person in." ”

Cui Mingde said lightly: "I'm just one person, but the palace is full of princess slaves, how can I compare?"

I smiled dryly: "Cui Erniang is wrong, the palace is full of slaves and maids of the Son of Heaven, not my slaves." I'm no longer a member of the palace. He asked her to sit down, sent everyone away, and eagerly asked, "Today... What's wrong?"

Cui Mingde himself raised his voice and asked someone to serve tea, took a sip of it, and raised his eyelids to look at me: "What's going on, don't you know it yourself?"

I sneered: "But why do you want to detain me here?" After asking, I realized a little - I just entered the palace at such a time, and my mother didn't detain me here, did she still want to let me walk around the palace, go to Li Rui to talk, and then go to Wei Huan to chat?

Cui Mingde saw that I realized myself, so I didn't answer, only drank a big sip of tea, the palace people gave me a light tea tea, but she was a strong tea soup boiled at the end of the tea, this strong tea is regarded as a coffee-like existence in the previous life in this era, drinking more is useless, Cui Mingde, Wei Huan, these little ladies of the family pay attention to sipping every day, and suddenly drank two big sips, it is inevitable to arouse my suspicions, I pay attention to her, and see that her makeup is stronger than Su Ri today, take a closer look, it turned out to cover the dark green under the eyes.

Cui's bet everywhere early, accounting for the best strategy, she herself is just a five-grade deacon, no matter who the emperor is, as long as she is not involved in any major events, there is always no worry about her life, but I don't know what to worry about, so that she is such a light and breezy character, she has to lose sleep to the point that makeup powder can't cover it?

I held the dice, threw it at random, and when I raised the dice, I had an idea in my heart, and smiled at Cui Mingde: "Cui Er is worried about Sixteen Niang?"

Cui Mingde put down the teacup, threw a random hand, and said expressionlessly: "Dugu Shao guards the Queen Mother with him, her business is the Queen Mother's business, aren't you worried?"

I said, "A-Niang is bound to be fine." "Whether it is the experience of the previous life or what he has seen in this life, Li Rui... It's really not my mother's opponent, I don't know when she will do it, once I know, my heart seems to be settled, and the only one who can't let go is Wei Huan.

Thinking of Wei Huan, my hand holding chess clenched tightly, I also took a big sip of tea, and asked Cui Mingde softly: "Erniang, what do you think, Ah Huan... Is it smart?"

Cui Mingde squinted at me: "The queen studied scriptures at a young age, long and sensitive, Luanyi was prestigious, Fengzhang was talented, and she was naturally smart." ”

I said: "I'm not Dugu Shao, don't coax me with these words, according to you, if it's Liulang... After that, will Ah Huan be able to stay in Beijing?"

Cui Mingde lowered his eyes, as if he was counting chess, and as if he was considering my words, Shao Qingfang asked, "What did she say to you?"

I hesitated for a moment, but I didn't tell the truth: "I didn't say anything." ”

Cui Mingde looked at me deeply: "Actually, what she said doesn't really matter. What matters is what the Queen Mother thinks. Xingzi took a few steps, and said: "King Jinyang has four sons, one of whom is from the first princess. Today, His Majesty has only one son, who is born in the palace and raised by the crown princess. King Jinyang was established as the crown prince for 20 years, the world was called virtuous, once abolished, the four seas were wronged, and now although he is dead, his son is still in the world's attention. And now His Majesty is not the eldest son, the crown prince is only a few months, and there is no virtue to say, since he ascended the throne, he appointed a private person in the feudal mansion, overhauled the palace, and the bones of the father were not cold, so he forced to kill his own brother, adulterous aunt and sister, the son of such a person, and the son of the king of Jinyang, which is more important, the courtiers naturally know in their hearts. ”

My throat was dry, and I said in a hoarse voice, "You mean... Bongjie. ”

Cui Mingde said: "I didn't say anything, I just relayed the discussion between the DPRK and China." ”

I pursed my lips and said, "The best thing is that the king and the princess of Jinyang have both died, and their sons are young and have no support, and everything depends on the support of grandmother and the ministers..."

Cui Mingde smiled lightly: "Yes, how many people dream of it, but it is just for the Son of Heaven and the emperor's teacher, if you can have both, you are also the best of the people." ”

I lowered my head and said for a long time before I said, "It's okay for anything else, Wei Xin... Looks like he doesn't have any credentials. ”

Cui Mingde said: "Wei Xuanzhen was originally promoted to the history of Puzhou Thorn, and he was about to take up his post, but he was urgently recalled in a few days, and changed the note to the three products of the Ministry of Officials and the Men of Tongzhong. If it is because he is the father of the queen, why is he degraded first and then praised? If it is because of his outstanding political achievements, he has not yet taken office, how can he know the reason? And recently, the Cui family has frequently brought women into the palace, and it is already known to everyone that they have been staying for a long time, and it is inevitable that people will be suspicious when they come and go, and it is not uncommon to have such rumors-Speaking of which, I didn't mention who it was, but Erniang called out Wei Xin's name, what do you know?"

I clenched my fist and said, "I do know about it." By saying so, I don't want to hide it from you—if that's the case, you can manage... Will Ah Huan stay?"

Cui Mingde stared at me: "Why does Erniang have to keep her? Staying away from the capital is not necessarily a bad thing for her. ”

I felt uncomfortable in my heart, drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp, and said in a low voice, "Rokuro doesn't like her." I... Don't worry she's outside. ”

Cui Mingde said: "You also said just now, she is very smart, and most of them can try to protect herself." ”

I didn't speak, but asked her again, "Do you have a way?" If my mother really set up Fengjie, I would have to keep her in Jingzhong - Li Rui is already eighteen years old, and the older he gets, the greater the threat. And the mother is in the prime of life, whether in the original history or in the current situation, she can live for at least another twenty years. On the other hand, Fengjie, who was born in August last year, is less than a year old this year, that is, twenty or thirty years later, there is no threat to his mother, but he may be more affectionate because of the relationship between his grandparents and grandchildren. Who knows if my mother will call Li Rui back in this history that has changed the track? Even if Li Rui comes back, it will be many years later, Ah Huan and I... Isn't it hard to see each other again?

But Cui Mingde is right, if Li Rui does not come back, he will die as a degraded prince from now on, and Wei Huan is actually safer to follow him than to stay in Beijing.

I thought I was thinking about her, but at the end of the day, I just wanted to see her all the time. But do I really want to forcibly keep Wei Huan in Beijing for my own selfish motives? Can you protect her?

Cui Mingde looked at me and shook his head, not knowing whether he was powerless or unwilling to help.

Neither of us spoke again, just sat quietly across from each other, although I was thinking about my own thoughts, Cui Mingde also lowered his head, as if thinking about something. In the middle of the day, Hu Lu Duobao brought people to deliver food, but none of us had the heart to move.

It was a long time, until the sun was slightly tilted, before I heard a sound of footsteps outside the door. Cui Mingde raised his head suddenly, straightened up, and quickly sat back again, as if nothing had happened.

I wasn't as impatient as she was, and slowly turned my head to look at the door.

Dugu Shao tied his hair, wore colorful clothes and silk armor, and carried a long knife, stepped in with vigor, stood at the door, held the handle of the knife with his right hand, and waited for me and Cui Mingde to pass, Fang Lang said: "The emperor is far upright, the relatives are small, the wine is extremely deserted, the civil engineering is prepared for luxury, the front and back are sorrowful, the teaching does not change, the queen mother adheres to the will of the first emperor, holds the fairness of the country, and abolishes the king of Luling, the country of the day, the concubine Wei, and the son are accompanied by the ceremony; Clever and long-awaited, Gaozong is in Japan, and often wants to raise him as his own son, so he dropped out of Luling Wang Rui. Now there is no way in Luling, that is, it is ordered to enter the sect, and the ancestor of Zhaoxu is the heir of the ancestors, and it is renamed Dan. Princess Xuan Changle went to the Zichen Palace to meet her. 166 Reading Network
