The big palace maid's face changed suddenly, her smile froze on her face, and she didn't smile half-smiling, so embarrassed. She has served Changle Palace for so many years, and naturally she has heard of Huo Guang's name for a long time, and the biological mother of the Empress Dowager Shangguan of Changle Palace is the eldest daughter of the lady in front of her. That is to say, the Empress Dowager of Changle Palace should be called the "grandmother" in front of her.

No wonder this powerful lady is so arrogant that she dares to call the Empress Dowager Shangguan to greet her!

The palace maid knew each other very well, lost her smile, turned her head and entered the palace gate, and went to the Empress Dowager Shangguan.

Jianzhang Palace has already built a stove early, although the weather is not cold, but the north wind blows, scraping on the face, sometimes knife-like, it is also very cold.

This is noon, the emperor should have rested for a while, but since Xu Pingjun moved to live in Jianzhang Palace, the emperor and her have been tired of being together for a long time, he treats the queen very carefully, and he should eat and live, and he can come in person, he will take care of it personally.

Because Xu Pingjun was coaxed to take a lunch break, he was free and watched the twists and turns again.

I didn't read much about it, and news came from the corner gate, saying that the palace dependents wanted to see the emperor. What kind of nonsense is this talking about? Who wants to see the emperor, just by handing over a word, it is easy to see?

The Emperor frowned and continued to read his memoir.

The servant beside him knew the king's heart, and had already blocked back for the emperor: "Your Majesty, the affairs of the state and the world, are busy!" Please Madame go back, Your Majesty will not be empty. ”

The attendant sent the man out again.

It's amazing to come back now, this person in front of the emperor is usually used to seeing the world, and he can't be in a hurry at this time, so he kneels forward when he approaches the emperor: "Your Majesty, can you ...... It's amazing! ”

"Why are you in such a hurry?" The emperor looked at the servant and was a little puzzled.

"This ...... This...... Changle Palace...... Come, come......" The imperial attendant was in a hurry, and he was even more panicked that he couldn't speak.

The emperor frowned, and put down the music fold in his hand: "Changle Palace? ”

These three words are indeed rarely seen in Jianzhang Palace, the Empress Dowager Shangguan of Changle Palace has always lived in a simple place, the door is not out of the second door, she has always been low-key, and she does not like the people in Changle Palace to swagger through the market, so although the emperor and the Empress Dowager Shangguan are in the Han Palace, they rarely meet, and they rarely hear each other's mutual news.

Did you send someone from Changle Palace?

The Emperor was suspicious.

Those who know the emperor's heart well are still the servants who are waiting for him. Before the emperor could speak, the attendant said, "Didn't you send someone from Changle Palace...... Yes, it's the Empress Dowager Shangguan who is here! ”

What the......?

The Empress Dowager Shangguan is here?!

The emperor almost fell from his seat, was stunned for a moment, panicked and had to go to meet him in person.

This Empress Dowager Shangguan is the Empress of Emperor Xiaozhao and his widow. Speaking of her, in the Han Palace, no one sighed, but also her life is not good, young, widowed in Changle Palace, since the new emperor succeeded to the throne, she hidden, a person holding the noble "identity", lonely in Changle Palace to grow old.

Counting her age, she was only a few years older than the emperor, but Emperor Liu Xun had to call her "Queen Mother" and obey the matriarchal system.

But this Empress Dowager Shangguan has never quarreled with the world, and she and the emperor, if it weren't for the ceremony when they had to meet, they would not have seen each other. Even the emperor has never been to Changle Palace, how could this Empress Dowager Shangguan come to Jianzhang Palace in person?

The emperor was a little stunned, if he saw the Empress Dowager Shangguan, he would not be embarrassed at all, and he couldn't. After all, she is the queen mother, and he is the emperor...... Liu Xun always thought stupidly, he met with the Empress Dowager Shangguan, how to fight this greeting? According to what example? Alas, it is also difficult! He didn't grow up in the palace since he was a child, he didn't understand these etiquette, and his ability to adapt to changes was worse than that of the people in the palace.

Thinking so, the Empress Dowager Shangguan has arrived.

Liu Xun greeted him in a panic.

The Empress Dowager Shangguan is plainly dressed, and she does not have the flamboyant color of a woman in the palace.

"The Queen Mother is a little thin." Liu Xun said.

He looked over and saw that the Queen Mother was still very young, with delicate eyebrows and watery eyes, as if she had just cried. She was always like she had cried. She was indeed very thin, thinner than the last time the Emperor saw her.

"If you lack food and clothing, you can send someone to talk to me."

The emperor is concerned on the surface, but he is really worried in his heart, the Empress Dowager Shangguan does not move around, this time she bothered her to come to Jianzhang in person, but there must be something big! If not, this person who can invite the Empress Dowager Shangguan must have a great background!

As for who the "origin" is, do you need to say?

At the thought of this, the emperor frowned.

"Xie Majesty cares, Changle Palace has everything, and there is nothing missing." She spoke softly, still like a girl who had not yet left the cabinet.

The emperor gave up his seat and asked the Empress Dowager Shangguan to sit down.

The Empress Dowager Shangguan didn't sit down, but she looked slightly embarrassed, and she frowned lightly: "Your Majesty, please excuse me." ”

The emperor immediately understood what she meant, so he retreated left and right, showed a look, understood from the moment of serving, and led the palace ladies who followed Jianzhang Palace out......

The emperor said slowly: "Queen Mother, what must I tell my relatives?" ”

The Empress Dowager Shangguan looked at him, with a pair of big tearful eyes, even more sad, after a while, she sighed and said: "Your Majesty, there is indeed a matter, it is a matter of importance, I am also entrusted by others, and I will have to go through the Jianzhang Palace to talk to His Majesty." ”

The emperor usually rarely has the opportunity to see the Empress Dowager Shangguan, and even less often sees her showing such an embarrassed look, and remembering that the Empress Dowager Shangguan's grandmother is Huo Xian, who stirs, he is very uneasy, because he thinks that the Empress Dowager Shangguan's trip is for Huo Xian.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager Shangguan sighed slightly and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I really don't know how to say this kind of thing." ”

"There is no one else around, only the Queen Mother and I, if the Queen Mother has any difficulties, just talk to me."

"Because I know, I have a little aunt, the small character is Chengjun, and I say it's my aunt...... Actually, a few years younger than me......"

The Emperor frowned.

That's exactly what happened...... Sure enough, it's Huo Chengjun again!

The emperor was patient and listened to the words of the Empress Dowager Shangguan -

"Last time, my grandmother entered the palace, and she came to Changle Palace to see me, and also told me about my aunt. Alas, it's also my aunt who is not good for herself,—— but now that she has fallen into this mess, she is worried about her grandmother! My grandmother can't do this kind of thing, and she doesn't dare to talk to Her Majesty at all, so she has to bother me to be the speaker. ”

The emperor first slandered: This Huo Xian is still worried and afraid to speak? But after carefully pondering the words of the Empress Dowager Shangguan, he actually felt something that he didn't notice at first: "Mrs. Huo has something to say to me?" ”

- Because I didn't dare to say it, I invited the Empress Dowager Shangguan to be this messenger?

What is going on in Huo Xian's head......

"yes, that's it...... It's hard to talk about. ”

The emperor was depressed. Yes, it is really difficult to talk about the incident between him and Huo Chengjun.

But what the Empress Dowager Shangguan said next was enough to shock him!

The Empress Dowager Shangguan hesitated slightly, finally lowered her head, and said softly: "Your Majesty, my aunt Chengjun has been pregnant for several months, this is ...... Why is this good? Seeing that my belly is getting bigger and bigger, I can make my grandmother sad! ”

What the......?!

Huo Chengjun is pregnant?! The emperor only felt like five thunderbolts!

"Huo Chengjun is pregnant...... Huh? Be...... My child? "Although the emperor is still calm on the surface, he is really messed up in his heart! How afraid he is, how afraid he is that Pingjun will know!

Because of the incident of Ah Chi's mother-in-law, he delayed the explanation he should have to his courtiers as the emperor, and the emperor originally thought that he could live happily for a few years, but he didn't expect it...... If Huo Chengjun really has a dragon son, the Huo family will definitely have further measures, and the Huo family will not watch their daughter's belly grow bigger day by day, without asking the emperor for an explanation!

Sad, sad......

It's really full of sorrow.

The Emperor stroked his palm and rubbed his forehead.

The Empress Dowager Shangguan was pale, she had lived in Changle Palace for many years, she didn't like to deal with people, and she hadn't said so much to people for a long time.

The emperor was still stunned, as if he had a dream.

He looked at the back of the Empress Dowager Shangguan leaving in a daze......

He wanted to wake up. Like, it's really just a dream.

The days that followed, for the emperor, could not be said to be no torment. He wanted to avoid Huo Guang and avoid the Great General's Mansion, but he couldn't.

He had gone to see Huo Xian in private. At that time, he had grown up a lot, and he was used to seeing the treacherous situation in the court, and Huo Xian was just a woman, so he couldn't do anything with him.

He responded to Huo Xian with his usual indifferent attitude, and after a few words, Huo Xian was speechless.

But what should be faced still needs to be faced after all.

The day has finally arrived......

When Huo Chengjun was about to give birth, the emperor was in the Xuanshu Hall to reprimand the ministers, and when he received the news, he had no mind to face the complicated state affairs, and his heart had already flown to the General's Mansion...... Not for Huo Chengjun, nor for that child.

He was just a little scared.

That fear of being alone.

He was unwilling to crown Huo Chengjun and teach Pingjun to be wronged. However, it seemed that all those in the know were watching his actions, and the daughter of the great general Huo Guang gave birth to a child for His Majesty......

Well, it's still an illegitimate child.

The royal family became the laughing stock of their after-dinner conversations.

What's more important is that if he can hear this kind of words, then, without exception, it will reach Pingjun's ears...... Pingjun was nearly full-term pregnant at this time, and labor was imminent, how could he bear to teach Pingjun to bear such a big blow?

After the next dynasty, the emperor was simply subdued and went to the general's mansion.

When Huo Guangcai saw the emperor, he kowtowed head-on, with a worried face: "Your Majesty...... You're finally here! This loyal old minister felt sorry for the emperor and sighed deeply: "The family is unfortunate! Is...... Bad luck at home! ”

The emperor frowned, bypassed him, and asked as he walked, "When was it born?" Boys and girls? Is there any news coming out? ”

Huo Guang got up from the ground in a panic and chased after the emperor: "No, no, no!" How dare Lao Chen teach outsiders to know about such a major event? Alas! Woe to the family! Gave birth to such a degraded daughter! ”

Huo Guang thumped his chest, very annoyed.
