Chapter 25 The palace is several deep

After asking the previous sentence, before others could answer, Yunyang said to himself: "Why do you want to choose me, the Imperial Government Bureau has a father-in-law who is more experienced than me, why bother to seek the near and far?" ”

Yin Lu raised his hand to straighten the hair on Yunyang's shoulders and said, "County Lord, this dragon boat race at the autumn equinox is a grand event of the year in the palace. It is not appropriate to hand over the www.biquge.info pen to the eunuch to handle it. ”

"Besides, the emperor has always opposed the contact between the eunuchs of the harem and the former courtiers, and all the officials will be present in this dragon boat competition, so the eunuchs will naturally avoid it."

Yunyang thought about it, and this is indeed the truth. But she also said to Sui Su with a puzzled face: "Since the queen and Concubine Chen are secretly competing, Concubine Min should show her attitude, but why did she choose to stand still?" ”

Sui Su didn't rush to answer when he heard this, but tilted his head and thought for a while and said, "To explain this, you have to introduce the ladies of Hanyang Palace first." ”

"Empress Qiu is the emperor's wife, the same age as the emperor, the main seat of Longkang Palace, and the birth of the alcohol king Zhao Fuchu. This year, the alcohol king turned 18 years old. ”

"Concubine Chen and the queen married the emperor at the same time, but Concubine Chen was pregnant first, and gave birth to Zhao Fuyue, the king of Rui, who is one year older than King Alcohol and is 19 years old this year. Concubine Chen is the main seat of Chongluan Palace. ”

Yun Yang remembered the young man in the inn who was strong in martial arts and looked quite godlike to Zhao Yuan.

"Concubine Min is a few years younger than the previous two mothers, and she has Princess Zhao Fuxiang, who is sixteen years old this year and has been raised in Jinxin Palace. In the first half of the year, the princess had just married the general Wen Zhongli, and since then she has lived in the east of the city. ”

"There is also a concubine Niangniang, but the sky is not beautiful, so she left the west early. Only the two- or three-year-old Snow Princess Zhao Fuyu was left, and she was also raised by Concubine Min. ”

"The other one is Xie Ronghua of Zenglan Palace. Speaking of which, this Xie Ronghua is also ill-fated. Her father was originally a general in Longnan, and after the emperor subdued him, he saw that he was leading his troops well, so he allowed him to stay in place. ”

In order to show his loyalty, this person dedicated the fifteen-year-old Xie Ronghua to the emperor. But it didn't take long for Xie Ronghua's father to defect to Khitan with his family. Only Xie Ronghua was left in Luoyang. ”

"It is said that this treason is for the nine clans, but the emperor saw that Xie Ronghua really had nothing to do with this matter, and he took pity on her father for not caring about her flesh and blood affection at all, and let her be a scapegoat, so he didn't cure her crime in the end."

But since then, the emperor has never set foot in Zenglan Palace. Xie Ronghua lived alone for seven or eight years. ”

Listening to Sui Xuan's words, Yunyang also sighed softly. The power struggle in the court is staged every day, one disappears and the other rises, after you live and die, how many golden branches and jade leaves are lost because they are implicated.

Xie Ronghua's encounter can be regarded as lucky.

"In this way, the three favored ladies in Hanyang Palace all have princes or princesses under their knees, so there are a lot less disputes in the harem, right?" Yunyang asked softly.

Yin Lu took over and said, "It is said that this is the truth. However, in this harem, there are troubles when there is no child, and when there is a prince, I want to fight for more for the future of the prince. ”

"It's a coincidence that these two princes are of the same age, and their martial arts knowledge is comparable, which makes it even more tricky." Sui Xuan's tone was a little helpless.

Yun Yang listened to it but disagreed: "How can it be comparable? The concubine is out of the house, and the distinction is clear, what else is the queen worried about? ”

While pressing the brocade for Yunyang, he said: "I wasn't worried about it a few years ago, but in recent years, King Rui has been in the limelight, not only with outstanding military achievements, but also with great prestige among hundreds of officials. ”

"In addition, the emperor also seems to attach great importance to King Rui, so the queen mother is a little uneasy."

At this time, Sui Su came in with a pear blossom Qingmu tea from the outer hall and handed it to Yunyang. Yunyang took a sip and felt that the fragrance was just not sweet enough, so he shook Sui Yun's hand and asked her to add another spoonful of rose honey.

"It's too sweet, I'm afraid the county lord will cough at night." Even so, Sui Su still obeyed Yunyang's wishes.

Seeing that Suiyun had gone out, Yunyang continued what he had just said with Yinlu: "If you want to get Your Majesty's favor, the queen only needs to let King Alcohol go to the border pass to practice for a few more days." ”

"Why didn't you temper it?" Yin Lu said: "The queen mother is very generous at this point, and she will never be arrogant and spoiled because the alcohol king is a parent." ”

"King Rui has been in the army for a few years, and King Alcohol has been in the army for a few years, with a lot of swords and swords, and a lot of ice and snow."

Yunyang listened, and there was a little admiration in his heart: "The queen mother can let her only son undergo such a tempering, this mind is really extraordinary." ”

"What's the use of the Queen of Light working alone?" When Yu Lu said this, there was a lot of regret in his tone.

"King Rui is approachable, and King Alcohol ......" Speaking of this, Yu Lu subconsciously lowered his voice: "I heard that King Alcohol has a very eccentric personality. He has never been close to women, and he is not as good as Long Yang. Likes to do only one thing......"

"What's the matter?" Yunyang raised an eyebrow curiously.

"He only likes to beat people with a rawhide whip!"

Yunyang was very puzzled when he heard this: "It's not surprising, how can a general who leads the troops to fight not have a bad temper?" ”

At this time, Sui Su walked in, and when he heard them chatting, he took it and said, "County Lord, you don't know, King Alcohol beats people differently. ”

"If he loses a war, he will fight people, and if he wins a war, he will fight people. The first thing I do when I get up every day is to beat people with a whip, and if you don't beat them, you can't eat, don't you think it's weird? ”

Yun Yang gasped when he heard this, and said in his heart: "You are so violent and wanton at a young age, if you really become the emperor, then you can pay it back?" ”

So she also understood the queen's painstaking efforts: "It seems that the queen sent Gonggong Qu to let me make special arrangements for King Alcohol in the dragon boat race, so that he can take the lead." Let the emperor look at him differently. ”

Yin Lu nodded and said, "No, how could the boss of the fair frame come to our Qiao Palace." ”

"And that father-in-law An, wasn't he also a lord who looked at people with his nostrils in the past!" Sui Su didn't say angrily.

Yunyang frowned: "Fortunately, Concubine Min and Xie Ronghua didn't participate in coming here, or every mother has to take special care, even if she has three heads and six arms, it will be difficult to do it!" ”

Drinking green opened the copper lid of the new flower, took the tongs to add some purple charcoal to the brazier next to the bed, and turned around and said: "Concubine Min is the best at observing words and feelings, but Xie Ronghua has been out of favor for a long time, and they are princesses under their knees, why bother to wade into this muddy water?" ”

Having said that, Yunyang was not at all relaxed: "King Rui and King Alcohol have to show their faces in front of hundreds of officials, and they both have to win the favor of the emperor, how easy is this?" ”

Sui Yun seemed to see her thoughts next to her, so he leaned over and whispered: "If the county lord thinks this matter is difficult, go to the Imperial Mansion Bureau tomorrow to find a reason to postpone this errand, isn't it?" ”
