Xu Shutong kept sewing and thread in his hand, but a pair of ears listened carefully to Xue Yinong's reading of 'Six Notes of Floating Life', listening to her reading in a voice full of emotion, and in some places she read it several times, and she didn't feel that this person was a little stupid, she didn't say it, only one person was secretly happy about it, and raised the corners of her lips, which was also indescribably interesting.

Xue Yinong worked hard for an afternoon here, and in the evening, Luo Yan came in to urge, saying, "It's not too early for the son, let's go back!" ”

Xue Yinong opened a pair of eyes that seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and there was a blurry look in his eyes, "What time?" She asked.

"The sun is setting."

She was a little moved, "It's all this time." There was a sense of time flying by in the words, and there was emotion, and then he smiled and said to Xu Shutong: "I didn't expect to disturb you for so long." ”

Xu Shutong got up and said, "Childe doesn't have to say this, he often comes to play when he has time." She knew that she was no longer keeping, and she had the intention of getting up to send it away, Xue Yinong wanted to return the book to its original position on the shelf, Xu Shutong said: "No need, just let it go, just let it be cleaned up." ”

Xue Yinong was no longer reluctant, and walked back and forth with her, brewing a lot of goodbye words in his heart, but he didn't say it, and when he arrived at the door, he said 'cherish', and climbed the hand of Luo Yan to get into the carriage, and the coachman raised his horsewhip and drove away.

Xu Shutong stood at the door for a long time, and suddenly there was a bright color in his eyes, Xue Yinong poked his head out of the car window, and said loudly: "If someone troubles you again, report my name, and I will come to see you soon......"

The sound blends into the bustling streets, becoming more and more indistinct.

Xu Shutong waved goodbye to her, and when he turned around, he was slightly startled when he saw Cunxi standing behind her. Reproached: "You walk without a sound, are you a cat?" ”

Cun Xi smiled: "The slave is not a cat, the mother is a cat." ”

Xu Shutong couldn't understand it for a while, so he turned around and went back.

Let's say that on the second day after Xue Yinong went back, he let the hundred officials kneel and kowtow, shouted long live, let them get up, and said that Su Yushi deceived the people's daughters, and when he said this, he couldn't help but be furious, and slapped the armrest of the dragon chair fiercely, and the dragon head of the armrest was broken on the spot.

Above the court, there was a sudden silence.

"Dismissal, investigation, exile, I don't want to see this person again, and I will never use it, and innocent family members will not be involved, so be it."

Xue Yinong was a little helpless, and the courtiers still shouted 'The emperor is wise', saying so in his mouth, but he was thinking in his heart. It was rumored on the street that Su Yushi went to find trouble with the former concubine, and he happened to meet the emperor, I don't know if this is true, but their minds turned around......

Xue Yinong

After a short silence in the court, the ministers were in an uproar, and all sides were discussing, the first two can also be said to be 'magnanimous', and the last one, how to listen to it, how to have a problem.

After a short exchange of ears, some of the ministers objected, "Your Majesty, the first two are okay." This third article seems to have to be considered, the women who have been divorced are all within the seven, where is there room for choice, and if the issue of children is involved in the future, how can this be good? Moreover, if such a person ascends to the throne, wouldn't it be a shame to the world. ”

"Can I expect all to have children? This is also too ridiculous, in the past, there were Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiang, and it was rumored to be a good story for a while, although I am not a talented eight buckets, but doing this is nothing more than telling the people of the world, everyone has the right to choose and be chosen, as long as they are willing, it is okay to do anything, is it wrong for me to do it? Is it the woman's fault that once she is divorced? ”

The court was silent again, so silent that even breathing could be heard. The ministers seemed to have heard something else from the emperor's anger, and they had a hunch that Xu Guifei's adulterous concubine was going to come back to bring disaster to the country and the people.

Prime Minister Yu Cheng broke the silence first, "What the emperor said is very true. A group of people at the bottom scolded the 'old horseman' and 'wall grass' in their hearts, but Prime Minister Yu Cheng still said very calmly: "It's just that once it comes to the back position, it will be an insult to the national body and dignity, it is better to choose first, and then draft the draft girl, the queen candidate must be a yellow flower girl with both talent and virtue." ”

It's straightforward enough, and the ministers understand it in seconds. It turns out that this is the case, and the way to restrain the adulterous concubine is to put another Buddha on her head. The ministers expressed their positions one after another, "Prime Minister Yu is reasonable. ”

"Prime Minister Yu is right."

"What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Everyone agreed, Xue Yinong knew where the general trend was, the minister was willing to compromise and agree to her conditions, but at the same time, she also had to make sacrifices, weighing the pros and cons, she said: "Okay! Pick first, then draft girl. ”

Everyone wiped their sweat with their sleeves, fortunately, the emperor agreed, otherwise the stalemate continued, in case the emperor opened a killing ring, it would be bad, it was right to follow Prime Minister Yu, everyone took a step back, and everyone was happy.

The expressions of the ministers, Xue Yinong saw them all. At the moment, it is absolutely like this, and it is obviously impossible to get the results you want without sacrificing. It is also impossible to stalemate without regression. Only by compromising in some aspects can you get what you want, and since everyone has no objections, it is decided.

She said: "After the election, it is a big event, I can't be the master alone, it's better for everyone to draw up a candidate, and then hand over the two queens to choose!" I want to hear what they mean. ”

The minister shouted: "The emperor is wise. ”

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Luo Yan was extremely dissatisfied with Xue Yinong's handling of this matter, as soon as she heard that such a big event had happened in the previous dynasty, she could no longer sit still in the Splendid Palace, and ran to the front hall to wait in a hurry, almost after Xue Yinong retreated from the court, she greeted her and reads;.

"Your Majesty." The appearance of the wild goose wanting to speak and stopping, Xue Yinong saw it in his eyes.

"Something to say." After returning to the Splendid Palace, Xue Yinong retreated left and right before saying, "If you have anything to say, you can say it." ”

"Why is the emperor in a hurry to choose the queen, do you know ......" Luo Yan's forehead was sweating urgently, getting so many concubines is enough for a headache, now not only to draft the girl, but also to choose, oh my God! She felt that her eyes were full of stars, and she felt that the sky above her head was about to fall, how could the emperor be so calm, it was not that she had forgotten her identity.

The meaning of the wild goose could not be more obvious, you can't be led by the nose by those ministers, no matter what, you have to find a reason to delay and push.

Xue Yinong said: "If I don't agree, will they let me go?" Luoyan, there is no difference between the first day and the fifteenth day of junior high school, if this matter is not handled well, have you thought about the consequences? There is a lesson from the emperor's brother before, and there are ministers grinding their mouths every day, why is this? Do you really think that they are thinking about the royal heirs, and you want me to say, there are more people who are suitable to be emperors, the royal family has never lacked heirs, what they want is 'possibility', if their daughters don't marry me, they will think of ways to marry someone else, what is that, you know, that is to increase power, a careless is to rebel, I can't help but look at the long run, human desire. It is always good to give them the right guidance, so that they have hope. ”

Luo Yan couldn't have imagined that things would be so complicated. "Your Majesty, ...... you"

"Take one step at a time, the only thing I am sad about is those innocent women who were sent into the palace as tools, I am afraid that I will fail them."

Although she said that she wanted to look for it in the world, she knew very well in her heart that the harem and the government have always had a broken relationship.

After the will was issued, the Queen Mother was really happy. The ministers were also busy choosing the woman they liked, asked the painter to paint the portrait, and sent it to the palace for the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager He to see.

The Queen Mother smiled from ear to ear, and the Empress Dowager He frowned deeply. "Sister, what's wrong with you? You're a mother-in-law for the first time, aren't you nervous? Don't worry, the people below will not mess around, and we won't choose any of those women who are messing around. ”

Empress Dowager He had no choice but to say yes, where is she for this reason, she is really dumb and eats coptis, who knows who is suffering.

In private, Empress Dowager He also talked to Xue Yinong. "Yi Nong you...... Have you really decided that you want to choose? ”

Xue Yinong smiled: "Yes, this is a good thing. Let everyone rest assured, let the country be stable, big and small are good things, since you are happy, how can you not do it? ”

"The mourning family is worried that you will be wronged."

"There is no grievance, the queen mother thinks more about the good side, and she will not be so sad. There are more people, and the palace is also lively, otherwise the houses are empty, and it is difficult to go out for a walk, and I feel eerie. ”

Empress Dowager He sighed, "You kid, let the mourning family say something good about you." Just rejoice! No matter what happens, remember that you still have a queen mother. ”

"Yes. The Queen Mother has been depressed about the loss of her royal brother, although we can't get the imperial brother back for her, but the palace adds some joy, and she is also happy. ”

Empress Dowager He nodded. Her daughter is so comprehensive, what else does she have to worry about, the only thing she is worried about is her daughter.

The minister's actions were very quick, and after a few days, he collected the information of the good women in the capital, and selected ten of them, and presented all the portraits and news of these people to the Queen Mother.
