The Queen Mother has had opinions on Xu Shutong for more than a day. Xue Yinong knows this very well, but if he follows the queen mother's intentions, he will inevitably wronged Xu Shutong, and if he doesn't, I'm afraid that the queen mother will not give up.

Because she is a poor woman who has lost her husband in middle age and a son in her old age, Xue Yinong also has to consider it. She said: "Since the Queen Mother said so, Yinong didn't dare to disobey." ”

After hearing this, the Queen Mother's face became much better. She said: "That's right, you don't want to learn from your imperial brother, if he had listened to the words of the mourning family, he wouldn't have done this." As he spoke, tears began to roll in his eyes again.

"What the Queen Mother said is that there are just a few things that are so strong that the Queen Mother knows. I have not been on the throne for a long time, and many things in the court are still familiar, just those things make me have no time to □□, where is there any time to take care of the affairs of the harem. Abolish Xu Guifei, you have to worry about the queen mother, the queen mother is also old, and the imperial brother has just died, I don't dare to let the queen mother work anymore, and I am afraid that everyone in the palace has no one who can afford the heavy responsibility of the harem, according to my thoughts, I have to trouble Xu Guifei for a while, and when I cultivate a capable person, it is not too late to abolish her, if I let her leave directly, wouldn't it be cheap for nothing. ”

Xue Yinong said that he seemed to be willing to give up until he squeezed Xu Shutong dry, which meant that he was angry for the Queen Mother.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother had joy on her face. "The mourning family said that you are a good child, and listening to your words, aren't you a person who understands. Since there is still a place to use her, even if she is used, the mourning family has no opinion, but when there is a suitable person in the palace, they can't keep it for a minute. ”

Xue Yinong said: "That's exactly what it means." ”

Xu Shutong stayed for the time being, and Xue Yinong also breathed a sigh of relief, and stayed to gossip with the Queen Mother, reassuring her to go out for a walk and relax. Returning from the Yangxi Palace, Xue Yinong did not say the section of being questioned by the Queen Mother, but no one in the palace had an eyeliner, and there was still an echo in this matter.

First of all, the concubines who were picking up the Queen Mother behind their backs, thinking that this time the Queen Mother would definitely clean up Xu Shutong, who knew that she would pass the test again.

"This vixen is really a good life, and they all protect her like this. I don't know what kind of magic was cast on the emperor. ”

"Don't be happy too early, the emperor won't say it, as long as there is a suitable person in the harem to manage it, and I'm not afraid that the fox spirit will not be abolished, the emperor promised the queen mother that she would be abolished, sooner or later, sisters, let's wait to see a good show."

A sinister smile appeared on their faces.

In the Splendid Palace, Xu Shutong sat there, holding a tea bowl in his hand, listening to the report on the matter, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Mother, what do you think about this?" Even she could see that the emperor was dragging out time, and it seemed that the emperor was really different from her mother.

"Just because they also want to move the palace, it's really whimsical, the palace used to treat them well, why do they want to capsize in the gutter now, it's really impatient."

Cun said with pity: "Niangniang, do you want slaves and maids to clean them up?" ”

"No, some small shrimp can't make waves, the most important thing at the moment is to work the emperor, as long as he refuses, the rest of the people are talking nonsense."

Cun regret said: "The mother is wise." ”

While he was talking, the voice of Ren's father-in-law came from outside, and Xue Yi was thick. Xu Shutong had no choice but to get up to greet him, "The emperor is back, and the affairs of the court and the central government are still smooth?" She looked at her with a warm smile and raised her head.

"Pretty good, what about you? What have you done? ”

As soon as Xue Yinong came in, the palace people hurriedly fetched water for her to wipe her face and hands, and her face was red on this trip.

Xu Shutong brought the tea, the tea was tepid or hot, and it was brewed at the right time, so it was just right to drink it at this time. Xue Yinong drank half a bowl in one breath, sat down and said, "Niangniang, you sit too, don't stand reads;." He also instructed Ren's father-in-law to move today's recital here, "I don't want to run, I'm tired!" "Let Luo Yan fan her and fan her, while gossiping with Xu Shutong." What did you do this morning? ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I made some food for the emperor, and I have to rest and rest, otherwise I will embroider, read books, and pass the time."

"That's right, isn't it boring to do this every day?"

Xu Shutong said: "Fortunately, the women in the palace are like this." ”

Xue Yi bowed his head, feeling that he was always so bored, strange and boring, "Don't you go out for a walk?" The flowers in the royal garden are so beautiful, and the mother should often go to relax. ”

"Yes, Emperor Xie cares. The emperor is so considerate, if any woman is liked by the emperor in the future, she must be blessed. ”

Do you like it? Feeling a long time ago, Xue Yi came back to his senses, and said: "It's an easy thing to like someone, although being the emperor has more opportunities to be liked, but I know in my heart that they are just for power, if I have nothing, where will anyone look at me?" Rather than having those imaginary bustles, it's better to be alone. ”

Xu Shutong smiled, "How can the emperor say such a thing, there will always be people in the world who are really good to the emperor, according to the meaning of the concubines, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy, and if there are people around the emperor, he will not think so." Although she comforted Xue Yinong, Xue Yinong's words touched her heart to some extent. is just the emperor, there are many things that he can't help himself, Xu Shutong only thinks of Xue Yinong as young, thinks things simply, and does not correct them. But today, Xue Yinong is protecting her, at least she thinks it is, and she will inevitably be a little more grateful when she looks at her.

Even if she was abandoned in the future, she would have enough time to climb the big tree in front of her.

Xue Yinong was very uncomfortable by Xu Shutong's gaze, she said: "What Niangniang said makes sense, I will remember that if Niangniang has someone she likes one day, I will also make decisions for you, and I will not let you be wronged." ”

Xu Shutong thanked him again and again, but he didn't think so. There have been too many things and her heart is so broken that she is no longer able to love someone.

Xue Yinong saw that she deserved to be happy, but her eyes were lonely, and she couldn't help but guess a little, but she still couldn't guess.

Outside the palace gate, Father-in-law Ren brought a few eunuchs to move the folds over, piling up as many as a hill. Xu Shutong saw that she was busy, so he got up and didn't bother her anymore, walked out of the door, and blew a cool breeze.

Xue Yinong's words caused ripples in her heart.

Seeing Xu Shutong in a daze, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What's wrong with Niangniang?" Didn't you just tell the emperor that it was very good? Why is it sad now? ”

"Yes, even the palace itself doesn't know, it's probably because the woman is sentimental, and she can think about it for a long time for a little thing." Xu Shutong's gaze didn't know where to look, and it was very faint. I also laughed in my heart, but it was just a little pity, and I seemed to feel that spring was blooming.

She shook her head, feeling that every qiē was all an illusion.

The days were quiet for a few days, but the silence was always frightening, for fear that there would be some unrest, some unexpected storms brewing in it.

On this day, Xue Yinong had not yet gone to court. The court and the central government have long been talking about the emperor's stay in the Splendid Palace, a group of people are breathing fire, pointing at the emperor's behavior, and a group of people are silent, bowing their heads, looking at their toes, not knowing what they are thinking.

And Xue Dingshan sat on the Panlong mahogany chair, looking at the ministers, his ears were full of some bad words for Xue Yinong, his two eyes narrowed dangerously, and the atmosphere in the court was chaotic for a while, quiet and silent.

Before the court meeting began, someone came to report to Xue Dingshan. "Look, how should the emperor deal with this matter?"

Xue Dingshan was silent, although he was the emperor, but what he said carried a lot of weight, his attitude was sometimes a huge storm, which might kill his son, he knew the joints, but asked rhetorically: "What do you think?" ”

"This official thinks that this official matter should be done properly, and it is the duty of me and other officials."

"Hmm."

Xue Dingshan refused to speak more, and the ministers who came forward to ask for advice, after learning that it was fruitless, returned to the crowd and continued to discuss until the voice of Ren's father-in-law resounded in the court.

"The emperor has arrived!"

The courtiers who were in a mess all shut their mouths, and according to the size of their official positions, they stood in line and divided into left and right. Seeing that Xue Yinong had ascended to the dragon throne, they all knelt down and shouted long live.

"Let's get flat!"

Her voice was not loud, but in the quiet hall, everyone could hear it very clearly. After the ministers got up, Ren Gonggong recited the daily must-have mantra, "If there is something to do, there is nothing to do." ”

As soon as his words fell, a spokesman appeared. "Initiation of His Majesty, Minister Xu Xiaoliang has something to play, recently heard about His Majesty, I don't know if there is such a thing in the palace of Xu Guifei? According to Weichen's opinion, His Majesty's move is not in line with the legal system, and please think twice. ”

Xue Yinong listened quietly, she knew that this matter would come sooner or later, but she didn't care what these people said, she just swept her eyes over Xu Xiaoliang's face, and beckoned Father-in-law Ren to step forward and let him listen with his ears, Xue Yinong said a few words, and Father-in-law Ren nodded.

"Does anyone else have anything to say?"

Two more speakers came, and they started the matter together. They waited quietly for Xue Yinong's hair to fall, and Xue Yinong lowered his eyes and said, "I know, I will consider your words." ”

When the minister heard this, the emperor was obedient and to the point, he originally planned to make a bargain with the emperor, but now he didn't know what to do.

This is the contest between the new emperor and the ministers, although it is the first time, but once the new emperor compromises, then the situation that will open up in the future will be the strength of the ministers, Xue Yinong is naturally very clear, but her temporary concession also has a plan.

Sure enough, when she finished speaking, someone came up to mend the knife.

"How long is the emperor going to think about it? A day, or a month, or a year, or more. ”

Xue Yinong felt the persecution in this person's words, and the ministers also expressed their admiration for this person, so refuting the emperor, whether it was Xue Yinong's advance or retreat, this person would gain fame.

Xue Yinong's hand was gently buckled on the armrest of the dragon chair, her eyes were flat, looking at the stubborn face and gray beard in front of her, what should she do?

"What do you think?"

Gao Rui didn't expect that the emperor didn't answer his words, but asked him how he knew, and he said: "Naturally, the sooner the better, this matter is dragging on, and it is not good for His Majesty's reputation. ”

Xue Yinong said: "There is some truth in Lord Gao's words, I will think about it carefully, one day is too short, one month is too long, just within a month!" ”

The ministers had nothing to say, and they played some other things, and there were examples to follow in the end, and there was nothing very good to talk about.
