It has been an old rule since ancient times that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But this so-called old rule is just an empty phrase to many emperors.

There are countless examples of favored concubines interfering in court politics throughout the dynasties.

However, Emperor Yongtai, like his father, Emperor Xuande, has always been dictatorial.

Whether it is his wife Empress Pei or the favorite concubines of the harem, let alone interfering in political affairs, even his imperial study never allows them to get close to half a step.

But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and news always reaches the ears of those who should know and want to know in a timely manner.

The weather in the capital is still hot in August.

On the afternoon of Huo Xiao's first meeting with his father-in-law, Empress Pei was enjoying a rare tranquility and coolness in Fengxiang Palace.

"Mother, this is the sweet soup that my grandmother and I learned to stew, it has been cooled, you can take a sip to relieve the heat. The woman's voice seemed to be sweeter and more refreshing than the sweet soup in her hand.

Queen Pei looked at her daughter-in-law, who was beautiful and gentle, and felt very satisfied.

Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, Dong's appearance is not amazing, and his qualifications are average, and the most rare thing is that he is obedient and virtuous.

Such a woman will not lose her son's mind, nor will she have the ambition to compete with her for power, plus a high-powered Dong Ge Lao, in her opinion, Dong Yuexin is a perfect daughter-in-law.

Empress Pei took the porcelain bowl in Dong Yuexin's hand, tasted a mouthful of sweet soup and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is very sweet and delicious, this palace remembers that your grandmother is from Lingnan, and what she is best at is stewing soup, I didn't expect you to learn this craft at a young age, Heng'er is really blessed." ”

Dong Yuexin's face flushed, and she said with a little shyness: "The concubine has just learned a few simple soups, and she can't be praised by the queen mother." ”

Queen Pei smiled more and more kindly: "The soup is a trivial matter, but it is rare that you are meticulous, knowing that the palace cannot use ice, and the sweet soup is not cold but cold, and you are a good child who is filial."

Dong Yuexin is naturally humble and embarrassed.

The atmosphere in Fengxiang Palace is warm and harmonious, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are as close as mother and daughter.

If it weren't for the news he just received was too important, Qi Su really didn't want to disturb his mother's rare quiet leisure.

But this thing is really ...... She's dying!

Although Queen Pei was gossiping with her daughter-in-law, Yu Guang still saw Qi Su standing at the door with a calm face.

She patted Dong Yuexin's little hand and said with a smile: "You have just opened the mansion, and you are newly married, if you want to come to this hour, Heng'er should also go back to the mansion, you should go back too." ”

After that, she instructed the palace people on the side to reward Dong Yuexin with the gift she had prepared before.

It's not that she doesn't trust her daughter-in-law, it's just that she is still too young, and the time she has been married to Heng'er is still short, so some things should not be rushed.

Dong Yuexin is also a very discerning woman, and she didn't dare to inquire about Queen Pei, so she left Fengxiang Palace with a few maids around her.

As soon as she left, the smile on Empress Pei's face quickly disappeared, she beckoned to Qi Su, and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

Qi Su closed the door and walked quickly to Queen Pei's side, and whispered: "Niangniang, Your Majesty has given Huo Xiaowang a marriage, it is Yuan Yuan, the second girl of Yuan." ”

"What!" Empress Pei exclaimed, "When did it happen?"

Qi Su said: "The evening before yesterday, Huo Xiaowang returned to Beijing, and yesterday His Majesty went to the imperial study with him early, and stayed with His Majesty for half a day, and did not leave the palace until dusk.

Our people were not on duty yesterday, and His Majesty did not let people serve them, so we couldn't get any real news.

Just when Lord Fang Caiyuan also went to the imperial study, he didn't stay for too long, but His Majesty also didn't let others serve him.

Fortunately, our people still listened to it, and His Majesty gave the marriage decree to the little prince yesterday......"

I only heard a slight clicking sound, and the nails that Queen Pei had left for a long time broke in response.

She didn't care about the pain and said coldly: "This palace remembers that Yuan Yuan only entered Beijing for the first time in October of the previous year, and Huo Xiao had already left Beijing for the northwest at that time, right?"

Qi Su hurriedly said: "Yes, Niangniang." ”

"Then you tell this palace when two people who have never crossed paths hooked up!" Queen Pei was shocked and angry, and her voice changed a little.

Qi Su bit his lip and said, "The slave doesn't understand it either." ”

only heard a "bang", and Queen Pei swept all the objects on the small table next to her to the ground.

Qi Su was taken aback, but he didn't dare to squeak.

The palace people outside the house also stopped their movements and stood motionless and did not dare to move.

"Ahh

Qi Su's body trembled, although she had served Queen Pei for many years, she had never seen such a gaffe a few times.

"I knew that sooner or later things would be in her hands, how could a woman who grew up like a fox be a good thing!

What kind of evil has this palace created in this life, what kind of evil has it created! I met such a large group of fox spirits!

It didn't count if you ruined me before, but now you're going to ruin my Xinxin again!"

Seeing that the more she talked, the more unseemly she became, she stubbornly said: "Niangniang, now is not the time to be angry, you have to quickly find a way to recover your losses." ”

Empress Pei seemed to be awakened by her words, and gradually calmed down.

She muttered, "Yes, you're right, I can't mess with myself...... Ruler?"

"The slave is here. Qi Su stepped forward and responded.

Empress Pei stroked her messy bun and said in a deep voice: "You immediately go to the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion in person, and let Gu Xi take Xinxin into the palace." ”

Qi Su still felt that she was very uncomfortable with the speed of her master's face change, she picked the tender meat in her palm and said, "Niangniang means to let ......"

Empress Pei sneered and said, "Things have come to this point, who else can persuade Your Majesty besides her?"

If she could, she would rather Gu Xi never appear in front of Yu Wenzhao for the rest of her life.

But who made her the person on the tip of His Majesty's heart of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

She wants to see if Gu Xi, who has always regarded herself as a loving mother, will lose her temper when she encounters such a big thing as her daughter being robbed of her fiancé!

She wants to see what His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty can do for the woman she loves!

Qi Su knew that he couldn't persuade Queen Pei, so he bowed and withdrew.

An hour later, Gu Xi took Pei Jinxin to Fengxiang Palace.

Queen Pei has already redressed and changed her clothes, and she has returned to the dignified and elegant appearance of the mother of a country.

After Gu Xi and Pei Jinxin saluted, they sat down under Queen Pei.

Gu Xi, who is over thirty years old, is still graceful, and what is even more fascinating is the quiet temperament carved out of her time.

After all, she still loves Pei Jinxin, Queen Pei held back the discomfort in her heart, and beckoned to her as before: "Xinxin, come and sit next to my aunt." ”

However, what disappointed her was that Pei Jinxin, who had been separated from Gu Xisheng under her deliberate guidance in recent years, was next to Gu Xi today.

It's like I didn't see her movements, I didn't hear her voice.
