On this day, Xu Youzhen returned to her house early, but saw her father sitting in the hall, with a gloomy face, without saying a word. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIt turns out that Xu Youzhen and Xu Pu are distant relatives, and their grandfathers are cousins. Xu Youzhen Xu guessed his father's displeasure, so after saying goodbye in a simple article, he went back to his room and took a book to read.

"My lord, when you come back, you don't need dinner to hide in the house, do you want the old man to show you another look?" Mrs. Xu walked in with a teacup and asked with concern.

Xu Youzhen put down the book and smiled awkwardly, but there was no way to answer.

Thinking that this Mrs. Xu Youzhen has a wide range of contacts in the circle of noblewomen in the capital, since Xu Huo was demoted because of the relocation of the capital, she proposed to find a relationship and get close to Yu Qian. I don't know that Yu Qian didn't appreciate it, and he never replied, but after Xu Huo changed his name, he hastily sent the Shen Criminal Division to take care of internal affairs and do some trivialities. This matter was once rumored to be a laughing stock in the DPRK and China. It can be known that the eldest husband does not change his name, and he does not change his surname, Xu Huo changed his name because of his future, which is really not the work of a gentleman of the Ming Dynasty. Xu Youzhen has also been haunted by this matter, and she has lost face in front of everyone. Anyway, there is another Shi Heng who has known each other since childhood, and he is not isolated in the court.

Shi Heng came to Xu Youzhen for a drink that night, Xu Youzhen drank a few more glasses, and complained to Shi Heng: "This Yu Qian is a piece of wood, let him help me and refuse to help, why is this person so desperate to turn away?" ”

Shi Heng didn't know how to reply, so he could only follow Xu Youzhen's words and continued: "This Yu Qian, relying on the emperor to favor him, is like a piece of wood, he can't make sense, you can still be relieved." After Shi Heng finished speaking, he sighed lightly and took a sip of wine.

A glimmer of light flashed in Xu Youzhen's eyes, and at this time, he completely lost the elegant foreign minister of the civil officials in the past: "If you want to oppose Yu Qian, you must first oppose the emperor." And the best way to oppose the emperor is to welcome the emperor to the throne. ”

Weiyang Palace, which is already brightly lit, has long been the Tang Caiping of the concubine, but today she is wearing the dress of the concubine, only wearing a red brocade skirt alone, sitting under the porch and drinking wine. Thinking of the lingering love between the two that day, Zhu Qiyu shouted Wan Ruoxue's name again, Tang Caiping couldn't help but be angry and jealous.

It happened that Cao Jixiang came to deliver the decree, and Zhu Qiyu wanted to come to Weiyang Palace for dinner, but he bumped into the slightly drunk Tang Caiping under the corridor at a glance. Cao Jixiang hurriedly walked forward and snatched the wine glass from Tang Caiping's hand: "Hey, my mother, how can you drink, you can hold on to the little prince in your belly." ”

After Cao Jixiang snatched the wine glass, he held Tang Caiping and glared at Niu Yu: "Why are you stunned, why don't you hurry over and help your master to lie on the bed?" Cao Jixiang knew that pregnant people can't drink, let alone get drunk, and Tang Caiping attaches so much importance to the emperor's heir, and it's impossible for people who attach so much importance to the emperor's heir to joke about the child in the womb, but I'm afraid that Tang Caiping's womb is unknown.

Weiyang Palace, the color screen has been poured with sobering soup, and most of it has already been sober, and is thinking about how to explain this to Cao Jixiang, and has heard Niu Yu report: "Guifei Niangniang, Chief Cao is here." Tang Caiping hurriedly packed up his clothes and sat on the chaise longue waiting for Cao Jixiang.

"Guifei Niangniang, can you wake up from the wine?" Cao Jixiang asked kindly.

"Let Gonggong Cao laugh, this palace is out of shape today." Tang Caiping's smile was a little unnatural.

"Niangniang, you can hold on to the little prince in your belly, this drinking is not too good for the little prince." Cao Jixiang looked thoughtfully at Tang Caiping's stomach.

Tang Caiping couldn't help but want to slap herself from the bottom of her heart, patronizing her sadness, but forgetting that she was a pregnant person, and a pregnant person drank alcohol, isn't this clearly telling others that I don't value this child or that she is not pregnant at all? Even so, Tang Caiping still maintained the demeanor of the concubine very well, and said as if unharmed: "The palace is negligent, and I hope that Gonggong Cao will guard the palace, and the palace must be grateful." ”

Cao Jixiang looked around, and Niu Yu suddenly understood that Cao Jixiang had something to discuss with his master, so he retreated with a group of people.

"Concubine Niangniang, this belly is a little small. I wonder how the little prince has been doing in recent days? Tang Caiping was shocked when he heard Cao Jixiang's words.

"What did my father-in-law say, this palace doesn't seem to understand." Tang Caiping continued to pretend to be stupid, not understanding what Cao Jixiang was talking about.

"Guifei Niangniang, now there are only the two of us, and the old slave will also keep the things that should be kept for the mother, but there are some things that are not clear, and when the emperor knows, I am afraid that the mother will not know how to speak." Cao Jixiang said calmly, but he always stared at the eyes of the color screen.

Tang Caiping, who pretended to be calm, blushed for a while, and then said: "Father-in-law Cao, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

"If the old slave is not mistaken, you are faking pregnancy and competing for favor." Cao Jixiang smiled and said lightly.

"Father-in-law, I don't want to, I just want to conceive the imperial heir as soon as possible." Tang Caiping suddenly grabbed Cao Jixiang's pleading. She knew that Cao Jixiang knew too much about her, and a shrewd person like him couldn't hide it, so it was better to spread it out and say it, maybe she could win him over. ”

Cao Jixiang sighed lightly: "My mother, you are so confused. Tang Caiping panicked at this time: "Father-in-law, what do you say I can do." If the emperor knew about this, I would definitely have no way back. Tang Caiping was in a panic, and even the self-proclaimed "Bengong" on weekdays was replaced by "me".

Cao Jixiang leaned into Tang Caiping's ear: "Don't panic, since you don't treat the old slave as an outsider, the old slave will also try his best to keep the secret." It's just that paper can't hold the fire, instead of taking risks, it's better .... Find a time to pretend to have a miscarriage. Planting this matter on Queen Hang, Niangniang can not only conceal her false pregnancy, but also make the emperor disgusted with Queen Hang, killing two birds with one stone, why not? ”

When Tang Caiping heard this, his eyes lit up, and then he dimmed: "Father-in-law Cao, I really made plans for this palace, but after I gave birth, I still don't have any children!" ”

"Hey... Mother, you are still young, the child will have it sooner or later, as long as. can get the emperor's favor. Cao Jixiang sneered.

Tang Caiping was like an initiation, took a gold bracelet, and thanked Cao Jixiang: "Thank you father-in-law, and I hope that my father-in-law will keep it a secret for the palace." In the future, there will be no shortage of benefits for my father-in-law. ”

Tang Caiping called Niu Yu in: "Send it to Grandpa Cao." Before Cao Jixiang left, thinking about Tang Caiping, he politely said: "Niangniang, stay here, prepare dinner early today, and the emperor will come over when the time comes." ”

Tang Caiping saluted Cao Jixiang: "Thank you." ”

Half an hour later, Zhu Qiyu really came to Weiyang Palace for dinner......
