Half an hour later, Xiao Yonghou Pang Zheng and the household department Shangshu Pang Tong walked out of Pang Taishi's study in a daze, but everyone who saw the expressions of the two brothers was confused, but no one noticed the sharp light surging in the depths of their eyes.

"Big brother, I'll go back to my yard first. ”

"The second brother walked slowly. ”

"Big brother, please. ”

The courtyard where Pang Tong and Pang Zheng lived, one in the east and the other in the west, there was not a lot of communication between their brothers on weekdays, especially after the demise of Mrs. Xiaoyonghou and her fall from grace in the Taishi Mansion, the relationship between their brothers became a little delicate.

"Then the big brother will take the first step. Pang Zheng nodded towards Pang Tong, pondering in his heart what Master Pang said to him, and he didn't know if his father still had a deep meaning, and he didn't dare to take action when he couldn't figure it out, so as not to put himself in danger.

No, he has to go back to his courtyard as much as possible, and then find his advisor to explain and explain to him, and by the way, plan a thing or two.

Even if he is the eldest son of Master Pang, and the title of marquis given by the emperor was also inherited by him, but his second brother is not a simple role, if he is not prepared and unprepared, he is afraid that his position will be lost sooner or later.

Thinking of the Bai family in the backyard who made him lose a lot, and thinking that it was for her that his father and mother would not give him a good face for a long time, but instead attached importance to the woman in the backyard of his second brother, with his good brother and sister's forbearance temperament, he had been under the Bai family for many years, and finally had a chance to come out, how could she give up, coupled with the support of her mother's family, it is not an exaggeration to make De Pang Zheng have a strong sense of crisis.

Pang Zheng, who was upset for a while, thought a lot, and guessed a lot, although the woman of the Bai family is not of much use now, but after all, she still occupies the position of his wife Xiaoyonghou, so she must play her role, and nothing else can help at least she can contain the woman in the second room for him.

That being the case, it's not impossible to give her some favor.

With Bai's intelligence, she would not fail to understand that in this huge Taishi Mansion, only if he Pang is just right, she can be good, and the children she gave birth to can be good.

"Second brother, don't force the eldest brother. Gritting his teeth heavily, Pang Zheng hooked his lips and sneered.

Seeing Pang Zheng striding away, Pang Tong squinted, the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little cold, he didn't leave in a hurry, but turned around and stared at Pang Taishi's study for a long time without saying a word, a pair of gloomy ink pupils were full of terrifying cold light.

Father, what do you imply by what you say today?

is also the sister-in-law of the Taishi Mansion, and they all crawled out of his mother's belly, he Pang Tong is no worse than Pang Zheng, the only thing that is a little worse is just born behind Pang Zheng, but from childhood to adulthood, he is letting Pang Zheng and helping Pang Zheng, no matter what good things are only after Pang Zheng chooses it, it will be his turn, and sometimes Pang Tong can't help but wonder if he picked it up.

This kind of distorted and suppressed love has been accumulated in my heart for too long, just like an active volcano, which will erupt sooner or later, and I don't know if the scheming Pang Taishi will see this and say something like that unintentionally.

"Hehe, my good big brother, you must be good, don't force me. Pang Tong looked up at the dazzling sunlight in the sky, his hands in his sleeves were clenched into fists, he closed his eyes and then opened them, and finally turned around and strode away without hesitation.

What belongs to him must be taken back.

Whoever dares to stop him, then don't blame him for being cold-blooded and ruthless.

"What do you say, what will these two children do?" Suddenly, Master Pang's cold voice sounded in the study.

"If you go back to the Taishi, I don't know. "Although this is Master Pang asking them, if they really dare to talk about the eldest and second masters, I am afraid that they will not see the sun tomorrow.

What's more, Master Pang doesn't really need them to answer anything, pretending to be stupid is the way to survive.

"Hehe... I don't know, I don......'t know."

Hide in the dark and look at the nose, nose and heart, tell yourself not to be curious, no matter what you see or hear, you must treat it as if you didn't see it or hear it.

Pang Taishi, who raised his head and laughed a little crazy and terrible, in fact, he really didn't expect anyone to answer his question, he spent so much effort, laid down such a big game, dug up such a big trap, and even did not hesitate to put his two sons into the game, this time he did not allow failure no matter what, he could only succeed, otherwise......

Otherwise, the consequences are afraid that the entire Pang clan will not be able to afford it, although he has always refused to accept old age, but after all, he is already old, and there are not so many ten or twenty years to wait.

……。

Palace

". ”

Mama Zhu's familiar voice sounded outside the hall, and the Empress Dowager Liu, who was singing with her eyes closed and knocking on the wooden fish in the Buddhist hall, suddenly opened her eyes, and a ray of light flashed in her slightly cloudy black pupils, and said coldly: "What's the matter?"

In recent months, Empress Dowager Liu has been very quiet and very peaceful, staying in Cining Palace all day, not only not only did she not see the face of the concubines in the harem, but she also did not see the face of the emperor, even if Empress Pang went to Cining Palace to ask her for peace, she was blocked from the door.

Even though Emperor Xuan was very annoyed with his mother, but Empress Dowager Liu was his biological mother in the end, how could she not come to Cining Palace to see her when she saw that she was so abnormal, but it turned out that she didn't touch it, and was directly rejected by the sentence 'poor health'.

Emperor Xuan, who touched the wall once, did not come to Cining Palace one after another, in Emperor Xuan's opinion, his mother should be like this, and it would be good for An An to enjoy the honor of her queen mother, why bother to control so many people and so many rights in his hands.

The Rongchang Bofu is exhausted, and the fall is only a matter of time, if she can be in peace, Emperor Xuan is not unable to guarantee that he will never touch the Rongchang Bofu in his lifetime. But obviously, Empress Dowager Liu was very stubborn, and she was bent on controlling Emperor Xuan, and then controlling the whole

12.16 Xiaoxiang fans carnival, about the gods, grab the gifts!

Emperor Xuan, who then took control of the entire Jinfeng Kingdom, her ambitions far exceeded Emperor Xuan's expectations.

This also dooms their mother and son to only stand on opposite sides, although they are mother and son, they are hostile to each other.

Mo Yan's repeated actions before leaving, I don't know whether they were intentional or unintentional, cut off a lot of Empress Dowager Liu's secret forces, plus Mo Hanyu, the little thing that made Empress Dowager Liu hate it since he was a child, he also interrupted some of Empress Dowager Liu's arms openly and secretly, and two blows in a row almost made Empress Dowager Liu sick.

But her emperor's son not only didn't stop it, but even secretly added fuel to the fire, just thinking about her made her feel very cold, and what made Empress Dowager Liu want to never give birth to Emperor Xuan was that her good son was still 'mending the knife' towards her, which was so angry with her.

Because of the rumors about Mo Yan and Concubine Mi, not only the harem and various families of the former dynasty have set off turmoil, but even Kai'an Mansion has almost been uprooted, and it is almost completely disappearing from this continent, even Huangning City has also been affected.

It can be seen from this that the power of the Chuxuan Mansion in Licheng is so strong, and how can this not make the Empress Dowager Liu feel worried.

If you want to say that after the rumor incident came to an end, who was the biggest beneficiary, that person was Emperor Xuan, followed by the Prime Minister's Mansion, Empress Dowager Liu had painstakingly planted the eyeliner in the harem for many years, and it was actually cleared by Emperor Xuan.

Not only that, but even those external forces that she managed to save with great difficulty have also been severely suppressed, otherwise it would have been difficult for Empress Dowager Liu to settle down in the past few months.

"If you go back to your mother, it is the queen who asks to see her. "Mama Zhu is the confidant of the Empress Dowager Liu, and she is also the most trusted grandmother of the Empress Dowager Liu, she is quite dignified in this Cining Palace, Rao is some concubines in the harem, and there are very few people who dare to give her a look.

Mama Zhu, who is accustomed to observing words and feelings, is like a mirror to the relationship between Empress Dowager Liu and Empress Pang, so she knows very well what kind of distance she should keep from Empress Pang, so that she will not make Empress Dowager Liu angry, and her position will become more and more stable.

Although she also received a lot of benefits from Queen Pang, and also handed a little news to Queen Pang from time to time, Mama Zhu clearly knew who was her real master, so Empress Dowager Liu would open one eye to her and close one eye, otherwise this old man would not have survived to this day.

"Do you know why she's here?"

"This slave doesn't know. ”

"Oh. The tail note rose slightly, no different from the tone of Empress Dowager Liu's usual speech, but Mama Zhu, who was familiar with her, broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't help but shiver.

"Slave... The slave consciously tested a sentence or two, Coco... But the queen's mouth was very tight, and no useful information was revealed. Frightened touched the purse in the cuffs, Mama Zhu secretly scolded herself for not being too greedy, the benefits given by the queen mother were like a hot potato at this time, so she couldn't wait to turn her back and throw it away.

"Dry her. ”

Wiping the cold sweat on her head, Mama Zhu thought about what Queen Pang told her, her very well-maintained face was blue and white, and she weighed it left and right, she still chose to ignore Queen Pang, so she replied respectfully: "Yes, Niangniang, the slave will go to pass the word." ”

"Wait. ”

Mama Zhu, who had turned around and was about to leave the Buddhist hall, slammed her footsteps when she heard the sound, her heart was up and down, and her entire palms were wet with sweat, "The slave is here, please give me orders." ”

"Invite her to the side hall of the mourning family!"

"Yes. ”

Empress Pang, who had been waiting outside Cining Palace, became more and more ugly as time passed, and her silver teeth were almost broken.

Damn old witch, what a stinky shelf to put up, if not... If not... Hmph, stinky old witch, let's see.

"Niangniang, you go to the sedan chair and sit and rest, and the slave and maid will ask again, okay?"

"Cheng, you hurry up and ask this palace. "Seeing or not seeing is just a matter of one sentence, and Queen Pang doesn't dare to treat her as a yang or a yin.

"Mother, you are dissipated, it is not worth it for some people. ”

"Hmm. Listening to Mama Wang's reassurance, Queen Pang pressed the mania in her heart, she dragged her long skirt and sat back in the sedan chair, the palace maid Han Dongmanshuang stepped forward with great eyesight, an intimate hand of tea to Queen Pang to quench her thirst, and an obedient kneeling at Queen Pang's feet to massage her legs.

"Ouch—"

As soon as the palace door of Cining Palace opened, Mama Zhu who came out of it collided with Mama Wang who was about to go in, and the two of them cried out in pain while covering their chins and their heads, and each took a few steps back.

"Ouch, you ......" Mama Wang, who has been following Queen Pang all the year round, is also ruthless, when she covered her chin and just wanted to scold, she found that Mama Zhu was covering her chin, supported by the two pink-clothed palace maids behind her, and she swallowed it back when it came to her throat, not to mention how aggrieved she was.

Mama Zhu was also hit hard, and the pain was ruthless, but as the saying goes, beating a dog depends on whether the owner is not, and since the other party is Mama Wang, the anger in her heart has to be suppressed.

"The slave maid asks the queen mother to say goodbye, and the queen mother is blessed with gold. ”

"Mama Zhu, please get up. ”

"Slave and maid, thank the queen mother. After saluting in a proper manner and doing all the face, Mama Zhu said again: "The Queen Mother has been chanting scriptures and praising the Buddha in the small Buddha hall every day in recent months. ”

With such an explanation, Mama Zhu can be regarded as the reason why she made Queen Pang wait for so long, but she is really a very smooth person. Queen Pang is not stupid, she saw this but didn't say anything, after all, it has long been no secret that the queen mother has closed the palace to worship the Buddha in recent months, and the emperor has to eat behind closed doors when he comes, not to mention her as the queen.

Mama Zhu led the way

12.16 Xiaoxiang fans carnival, about the gods, grab the gifts!

Mama leads the way. ”

"The slave is saved, the queen is here, please. Entering the palace gate of Cining Palace, Queen Pang sat on the soft sedan chair arranged by Mama Zhu and carried it all the way to the side hall.

Mama Zhu, who was walking by the soft sedan chair and waiting, thought that she had received the benefits of Queen Pang after all, although she couldn't give Queen Pang what she wanted to know, but she could sell one or two favors to Queen Pang, and by the way, mention her recent likes and dislikes of Empress Dowager Liu, so that she could be prepared in her heart.

Listening to Mama Zhu's whispers in her ear, Queen Pang smiled gracefully and dignifiedly, her gorgeous and delicate makeup was like a peony flower blooming in the imperial garden, with the domineering spirit and empty eyes of the king of flowers, she narrowed her narrow phoenix eyes, and no one knew the coldness and viciousness at the bottom of her eyes.

One day, in this harem, there will be no one above her.

"The queen mother, please sit for a while, drink a cup of hot tea to warm up, and the slave will go to invite the queen mother to come over. ”

"Hmm. With a faint chin of her head, Queen Pang picked up the teacup and began to drink tea, while Mama Zhu bowed down and retreated, and only when she retreated to the side hall did she stand up straight, patting her chest and exhaling a few mouthfuls of turbidity, only to feel that the whole person was going to be bad.

But I haven't seen her for two or three months, how can this queen mother feel more and more terrifying, especially the invisible momentum on her body, which almost overwhelms Mama Zhu, and when she is staring at her, she can't help but feel like she is being targeted by the queen mother.

This... It's weird.

"Niangniang, this Zhu ......"

Without waiting for Mama Wang's complaint, she received Queen Pang's fierce gaze, although the gaze only fell on her for a second, but her face turned pale with fright, and then she took a few steps back and stood behind Queen Pang An'an, her heart beating like thunder, and cold sweat plummeted.

How could she forget that this is not Kunning Palace but Cining Palace, her words and deeds represent her master, if her complaint reaches the ears of the Queen Mother, then even if she does not die, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the rest of her life.

Half an hour later, Empress Dowager Liu was only wearing a crimson regular dress, supported by Mama Tian, and led the palace maid Yuanxiang and Chuxia into the side hall behind her, while Mama Zhu was arranged to serve outside the palace, which made Queen Depang's face look ugly for a moment.

"The concubine asked the queen mother to say goodbye, and the queen mother was blessed. "When she first entered the palace, Empress Pang had a lot of respect for the aunt Empress Dowager Liu, but with the passage of time, some things have changed, and she can never go back to the beginning.

"Queen, get up. ”

"Concubine Xie Mother. Got up and took the hand of the Empress Dowager Liu from Mama Tian's hand, and then she helped the Empress Dowager Liu to sit on the main seat, no matter from which point of view, Queen Pang at this moment is a good queen and daughter-in-law who has no choice.

Empress Dowager Liu's eyes flashed, and she looked at Queen Pang quietly, without brushing off her kindness, she just let her serve by her side, and only after a long time did she say quietly: "These days, the mourning family is obsessed with Buddhism, and the health is not good, so they closed the palace door to exempt the harem concubines from asking for peace, and I heard that the queen has also come over a few times?"

Talking to smart people, just start a head, talk too much but it's boring, Queen Pang smiled dignified and elegant, "The concubine heard that the queen mother was not in good health, so she came to ask for peace a few times, but she couldn't see the queen mother's face, it was really the concubine's unfilial piety." ”

"After this period of recuperation, the mourning family's health is no longer in serious trouble, and the queen no longer has to worry about it. Although she didn't leave the gate of this Cining Palace, none of what happened outside could escape her eyes, otherwise she would not have been able to climb to her current position step by step.

The mother's teachings and concubines were kept in mind. ”

Looking at such a well-behaved Empress Pang, the corners of Empress Dowager Liu's mouth twitched, and the long armor left a long scratch on her knee, and she said with a smile: "You and my aunt and nephew don't have to be so polite to speak, the queen will tell me what she is here today." ”

"Yao'er didn't know where to offend her aunt, so that her aunt and Yao'er became estranged, today Yao'er sincerely apologized to her aunt, and hoped that her aunt would forgive Yao'er for being young and ignorant, if her aunt was still unhappy, Yao'er would admit the beating and scolding and accept the punishment. ”

Empress Pang said such a thing to the Empress Dowager Liu, but the posture couldn't be lower, with her pitiful appearance, the Empress Dowager Liu couldn't implement it even if she had an idea in her heart.

Otherwise, this will be spread, and her reputation as the queen mother will have to be choreographed, and Queen Pang's trick of putting her death into life is very wonderful.

"What stupid thing did you kid say, although it is the beginning of summer now, but the ground is still cold, hurry up and speak, when will your aunt be angry with you, and when will she alienate you. "Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills, since Queen Pang wants to act, Empress Dowager Liu is also willing to accompany her.

As for who will have the last laugh, they ride donkeys and read the record book, each according to their ability.

"But ......"

"Smart as you, can't you understand what the mourning family has done in recent months? Every time the prince of Chu Xuan appears in Xingwu City, a group of people will definitely fall off the horse, and it will definitely make the front and harem unpeaceful, this time he is gone, and he has not been able to get rid of that fate, hasn't the mourning family's painstaking Yao'er thought about the reason for this?"

When it is false and true, it is true and false, and when it is true and false, Empress Dowager Liu's words are true and false, half-truths and half-truths, Rao is Queen Pang has been prepared for a long time, and she can't figure out what this old woman is thinking and planning in her head for a while.

Could it be that she will be led by the nose again this time?

"Well, if the queen doesn't figure it out, why don't you summon your father or your mother and ask them. ”

"Yes, aunt. ”

"Okay, although the harem is much calmer now, there is no lack of eyeliner in the dark with surveillance, Yao'er, if you have nothing to do, go back to the palace as soon as possible, and when the mourning family arranges a qiē, you will open the palace gate of Cining Palace to summon the concubines of the harem." ”

"Auntie, Yao'er is here today to report something important to her aunt. ”

Look

12.16 Xiaoxiang fans carnival, about the gods, grab the gifts!

Could it be that seeing Empress Pang's strict and cautious appearance, the eyes raised at the corners of Empress Dowager Liu's eyes were slightly half-narrowed, her voice sank, and she said, "What's the matter?"

Her dealings with the Taishi Mansion are completely based on their own interests, her good brother-in-law, good sister, has always guarded against her, if she, the Queen Mother, can't seek benefits for them, then they won't do things for her.

When Queen Pang first entered the palace, she would follow her in everything, like a kitten without claws in front of her, but after her wings grew, didn't she also reveal her true colors?

She Liu Qingfeng is no longer a little girl in her early twenties at the age of seventeen or eighteen, she has been immersed in this cannibalistic harem all the year round, what kind of intrigues and intrigues she has never seen, just the means that Queen Pang is playing in front of her now, but they are all leftovers from her.

"The civil and military double jade ring was born. In order to find out the news from the Prime Minister's Mansion, it took her father a lot of effort.

And Empress Pang also inquired carefully in the palace, the last time the little from the Prime Minister's Mansion entered the palace and stayed in the imperial study for so long, I was afraid that he would present the double jade ring of civil and military affairs to the emperor.

Thinking that the princess she gave birth to does not have such a noble title, let alone a fief, why is Concubine Wen Mi that cheap, how can she deserve to have those things that even her golden daughter does not have, the most annoying thing for Queen Pang is that even she has no right to mobilize the army privately, but Concubine Wen Mi can, and it is a privilege given by the emperor.

Even if the prince mobilizes the army privately, why can she mobilize the army privately with a girl, and she won't be punished at all.

There has never been a moment when Queen Pang wants to punish the nine clans of the Wen family of the Xiangfu, and the chickens and dogs are not left.

"Is the information reliable?"

The Prime Minister's Mansion acquiesced, and the three-month period promised by the emperor in front of the civil and military officials, if the Prime Minister's Mansion can't take out the civil and military double jade rings, then... At the moment, it seems that Yiqiē is already doomed, and the fight is indisputable.

That's it, it seems that if she wants to implement her plan, she will have to change the time, and she can only achieve great things if she can ninja, and she can afford to wait for a few more months.

originally thought that the prince of Chu Xuan was gone, and Concubine Wen Mi's eye-catching yellow-haired little girl also went to Jiangnan, and the time she had been waiting for a long time had come, but she never thought that the Wenwu Shuangyuhuan would be born.

Since the time, location, and people, she Liu Qingfeng does not occupy any of them, just let others make trouble, she will wait and see the changes, and what does it matter if she watches the play safely.

"Very reliable. ”

"The birth of the civil and military double jade ring is a big event, and the appearance of this civil and military double jade ring in my Jinfeng Kingdom is a great thing, when Yao'er delivers the news back to the Taishi Mansion, you might as well pass on a word of mourning to the family. ”

"Auntie, please. ”

"Don't fight the idea of the Prime Minister's Mansion for the time being, especially the three sons of the Prime Minister's Mansion. "If she didn't say such things today, maybe Master Pang really wouldn't have made a move, but since she said it, then ......

There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, and Empress Dowager Liu also wants some people to suffer a little hardship and learn a lesson, so that they don't forget who gave them the glory they have now.

Yao'er remembered her aunt's words. ”

"I heard that the girl from the Prime Minister's Mansion went to Jiangnan?"

"Back to my aunt, that little cheap girl did go to Jiangnan, and the dignified lord of Zhengyipin was uncomfortable and wanted to be a lowly businessman. "Whenever she thinks of Concubine Mi, Queen Pang hates her teeth so much, and her heart is not smooth.

"Are you sure she went to Jiangnan, not playing a trick?"

"Auntie, rest assured, that cheap girl is on the way to Jiangnan, and our people have inquired in many ways, she has been preparing for a long time to go to Jiangnan, and I am afraid that she will not return to Xingdui City in a short time. ”

Ahh

At this time, Concubine Mi, who was far away above the phantom sea, rubbed her nose, and a cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes.

If she knew what a certain queen called her, she couldn't do without the word 'cheap' in three sentences, I believe that soon she would make a certain queen have an indissoluble bond with this word 'cheap' in this life, the next life, and the next life.

"Yao'er, what's wrong with you?"

For a moment, Empress Pang only felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and the feeling of being cold as if she was being targeted by a ghost made her can't help but stretch out her hand to wrap her arm, and suddenly heard the voice of Empress Dowager Liu, she woke up, and trembled: "No... No, Aunt Yao'er is fine. ”

"That girl in Xiangfu is not simple, let your father pay more attention to her, the mourning family is tired after sitting for so long, Yao'er, you should go back to rest earlier. ”

"Yes, the concubine knelt down. ”

Empress Dowager Liu raised her hand towards Empress Pang, who saluted her, and then stretched out her hand to let Mama Tian caress her out of the side hall, "Go back to the palace." ”

"Yes. ”

……。

The Imperial Study

"Your Majesty. ”

"What?"

The black-clothed secret guard silently, as if appearing in the imperial study out of thin air, he knelt on one knee, and said in a low but extremely respectful voice: "The queen has passed the news back and forth to the Taishi Mansion a total of seven times since the day Anping and the Lord of the Le County entered the palace. ”

"There can be interceptions. ”

"Back to the emperor, there is. ”

"Present it. ”

After quickly reading the news, Emperor Xuan pinched his eyebrows and said coldly: "What did she do today?"

"Back to the emperor, the queen went to Cining Palace to see the queen mother. ”

"Oh, then the Queen Mother has seen her. ”

"Back to the emperor, the queen mother and the queen had a secret conversation in the side hall for nearly an hour. "They are all secret guards loyal to Emperor Xuan, but Cining Palace has its own secret guards cultivated by Empress Dowager Liu, they can monitor the periphery, but they can't get too close, otherwise it is easy to expose the target.

"Let's go down. ”

"Yes. ”

It seems that as soon as Concubine Mi leaves, his mother is afraid that she will be restless again, why can't she see his son live a stable life?

Emperor Xuan sneered, his dark eyes full of silence and depth.

I don't know what mechanism his hand touched on the imperial case, and a delicate box popped out from under the imperial case, and when Emperor Xuan opened it, it was the civil and military double jade ring that Concubine Mi brought into the palace and handed over to him before leaving.

Looking at this jade pendant intently, Emperor Xuan's thoughts couldn't help but return to the day Concubine Mi entered the palace......

------Off topic------

Phew, yesterday there was a power outage for a day, and today's call was late, and the small theater that Netty said was only made up tomorrow, sorry.
