Oh? Yang Guang couldn't help frowning slightly, remembering what Yuan Ziyan said to himself before, he couldn't help but laugh, eighty percent of Li Shimin's external strength is just an embroidered pillow.

Yang Guang didn't answer, and continued to review the folds.

Xu Tingfu waited for a while and didn't get a reply, he was not reconciled, and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you call an imperial doctor to take a look at Li Shimin?" ”

Yang Guang finally stopped working, looked up and asked, "When did you care so much about him?" ”

"The slave cares about him, but I'm afraid that he has a hidden illness, and he is His Majesty's guard, so I must be careful." Xu Tingfu hurriedly said.

"Also, not to mention that Li Shimin is still Tang Guogong's beloved son. Okay, don't alarm the imperial doctor for the time being, you first send someone to take some of his medicine residue back, and find someone to see what the ingredients are and what kind of diseases they treat. Yang Guang said casually.

Yes, Xu Tingfu was overjoyed, but Li Shimin was a little unclear with Yuan Ziyan, as long as he grabbed his handle, maybe he could take the opportunity to bring down Yuan Ziyan. Yang Guang's next sentence made Xu Tingfu simply happy.

"Pay attention to the confidentiality of this matter, and don't talk about it to anyone, especially Yuan Ziyan."

Yes? Xu Tingfu was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and then he was overjoyed, but he didn't expect Yuan Ziyan to be wary of Yang Guang when he was not so favored as he imagined.

After that, Xu Tingfu immediately sent someone to keep an eye on Li Shimin more closely, and even bought off another guard, who had a good relationship with Li Shimin on weekdays, and took advantage of the unpreparedness to pick up some of the decoction dregs that Li Shimin had thrown away.

After identification, these residues were indeed used to treat visceral diseases in both men and women. After getting the news, Xu Tingfu was happy, but he was still so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time, Li Shimin was personable, and he didn't want to be a ** person behind his back, and he even got this disease.

These are all to report to the emperor, Xu Tingfu was afraid that the information was wrong, so he didn't dare to be ambiguous, so he asked someone to verify again, and the result was still the same, and the person who took this medicine must have a stubborn disease in the lower body. Xu Tingfu's heart was overjoyed, and he felt that he had finally found Li Shimin's fatal handle, and maybe he could take this opportunity to drive him out of the palace, so as to save Yuan Ziyan from making eye to eye and secretly making small moves.

Everything is a sure thing, Xu Tingfu hurriedly told Yang Guang the news, and said even more exaggeratedly, Li Shimin was not lightly ill, he was close to a peculiar smell on his body, and he was contagious, at least he could no longer serve by Yang Guang's side.

Yang Guang snorted coldly when he heard this, and secretly ridiculed Li Yuan for having no way to teach his son, and he was extravagant in his old age, but he couldn't even manage his son well, and he got this problem of cutting off his children and grandchildren at a young age.

However, Yang Guang just ordered to go down, and for the time being, Li Shimin was not needed to defend his own safety, and arranged another errand for him.

Xu Tingfu was inevitably a little disappointed, Yang Guang did not drive away Li Shimin in this way, and did not work under the emperor's nose, but had more time to talk to Yuan Ziyan and me, but seemed to provide convenience for the two.

And how could Xu Tingfu understand the emperor's state of mind, what he was holding was a hostage, as for the health of the hostage, it was not a key issue.

Li Shimin, who is both civil and military, has long noticed that someone is secretly following everything about him, and he is happy in his heart, but after another half a month, Yang Guang still has no movement, so he has to think about the second step plan.

Time flies, the annual New Year is finally coming, Yang Guang takes into account the cost of visiting the lake, and advocates that everything in the palace should be simple, just lively, not extravagant and wasteful.

This is a big problem for Queen Xiao, to be honest, how can it be done well without money? What is not made of silver?

The emperor said it easily, just a simple sentence, but if it is really done with a clear soup and little water, it is inevitable that it will not be able to raise the interest, and the New Year's Day will be festive and lively, how can this be good.

"Mother, it's time for dinner." Xinlian looked at the sorrowful Empress Xiao and urged distressedly.

Alas, Queen Xiao let out a long sigh, picked up the chopsticks weakly, took a few bites, sighed and put it down, with a sad face.

"Niangniang, since Your Majesty advocates simplicity in everything, it is better to do so, even if there are some unsatisfactory places, presumably Your Majesty will not punish Niangniang for this." Xinlian comforted.

"That being said, if such a festive day as the New Year is not lively, wouldn't it make the three palaces and six courts see the joke and think that the palace is incapable of taking charge of the affairs in the palace." Empress Xiao said again: "These don't matter, the key is that our emperor, who likes to be lively the most, and has a very high taste, ordinary singing and dancing are difficult to enter his eyes, and it has swept His Majesty's interest, our life is not easy, and we need more time to make up for it in the future." ”

Xinlian was speechless, the emperor sat on the four seas, and the food and clothing were all the best, and the previous annual festival days made the queen work hard, and every year there was something new and surprising, which can be described as racking her brains, in order to be happy.

This year, everything is not going well, and it is time to take advantage of the festival to get rid of bad luck, but it can't be extravagant and wasteful, it's really embarrassing.

The next day, Empress Xiao, who was unwilling to give up easily, called several respected concubines, hoping to help them get an idea. Everyone listens and drinks on weekdays, and they are used to being obedient, only growing meat and not brains, where are there any good ideas.

After twisting for a long time, under the pressure of the queen, there were still a few people who spoke, some said to invite the opera troupe to sing, and some said to juggle or something, or guess the lantern riddles, and one Li said: "The queen's mother, in the opinion of the concubines, it is better to have a female worker competition, and the women in the palace show their magical powers, see which one is skillful......"

That's enough! Empress Xiao interrupted everyone's words unhappily, and she was even more annoyed, where is this idea, it is obviously to add chaos, if it really happens like this, the emperor will definitely be bored, and it is possible to leave the table halfway.

The crowd was so frightened that they kowtowed and did not dare to say a word more. They can't be punished for this matter, Queen Xiao impatiently sent everyone away, covered her head and sighed, there are less than ten days to celebrate the New Year, and she has no clue at all, and she is upset.

Xinlian tried for a long time, and she didn't dare to speak when she walked in front of Queen Xiao several times, Queen Xiao had already seen through her thoughts, and said impatiently: "Xinlian, why do you have to hide it from this palace, you have something to say!" ”

Be! Xinlian hurriedly agreed, and whispered: "Niangniang, you don't have to worry about these women in the back court, the more simple-minded they are, the more beneficial it is to you." On the contrary, it is those who are full of flowers and intestines that need to be more vigilant. ”

They are all smart people, Empress Xiao sat up straight, frowned and asked, "You mean, call Yuan Ziyan here to discuss countermeasures?" ”

"Mother, why not?"

"Hmph, this palace is not the same as her."

"Aren't they all for Your Majesty's happiness?" Xinlian said again: "If Yuan Ziyan can't say a thing or two, Niangniang has already done her best and has no regrets." And if you can get some inspiration from Yuan Ziyan, then Longyan will be happy, and His Majesty will pay more attention to Niangniang. ”

No, resolutely not. Empress Xiao was full of displeasure, what is she Yuan Ziyan, if she asks her everything, won't she be restrained by it in the future? No, resolutely no!

Empress Xiao was stubborn, and Xinlian never spoke again, but she knew in her heart that Empress Xiao was a person who didn't give up easily, and if she couldn't come up with a good idea, she wouldn't mind calling Yuan Ziyan over.

Another day passed, Empress Xiao couldn't stand it anymore, and finally rubbed her swollen head and said to Xinlian: "Okay, just call that Yuan Ziyan for questioning!" ”

Xinlian hurriedly went to invite Yuan Ziyan, and deliberately went when the emperor was also present. Yang Guang saw Xinlian coming, they were very familiar with each other, and said with a smile: "Why is Sister Xinlian here?" ”

Xinlian hurriedly knelt down and said with a smile: "The slave and maid can't afford this sister, so she will torture the slave and maid." ”

Hehe, Yang Guang was in a good mood and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the queen is worried about the New Year's celebration, so I have sent a slave to invite the purple smoke girl to discuss together." Xinlian said bluntly, of course, this is also what Queen Xiao meant, tell the truth, be justified, and ensure that Yuan Ziyan will not shirk after he comes.

"Well, it's hard to be a queen." Yang Guang sighed at the queen's sincerity, turned back to Yuan Ziyan with a reluctant face, and said, "In this way, Ziyan will go back quickly." ”

Yuan Ziyan secretly winked at Yang Guang, but he turned a blind eye, and Yuan Ziyan had no choice but to follow Xinlian. is the emperor and the empress, serving the two masters, but only taking one salary, who is happy to exchange it?

Seeing Empress Xiao, Yuan Ziyan said respectfully: "I don't know why Niangniang called Ziyan to come?" ”

"Presumably Xinlian has already told you, let's talk about it, how should this New Year's celebration be organized?" Empress Xiao asked coldly.

Yuan Ziyan was a little unhappy, look at this commanding tone, like begging someone to do something? So she stood without speaking, seeing this, Xinlian put on a smile, took the initiative to pull Yuan Ziyan to sit down, and said kindly: "Ziyan, you have been doing things by His Majesty's side for a long time, and you know his preferences very well, even our mother does not have this opportunity." Now that the New Year is approaching, I hope to make suggestions together and have a celebratory festival in the palace. ”

"Yes, there is Lao Ziyan." Empress Xiao also rarely lowered her figure and asked.

If the queen called her here privately, Yuan Ziyan would not easily do things for her, because since Xu Tingfu came back, Queen Xiao listened to his slander and was very cold to herself.

But Yang Guang also knew about it, no matter how good the relationship between the two was, it was no better than the two of them, Yuan Ziyan had to say: "Rong Ziyan go back and think about it." ”

"Yong'an Palace is very big, and your daily diet can also be with this palace." Empress Xiao said immediately.

Uh, can't you think of a way to go? It's really overbearing. Yuan Ziyan had a bitter face, while Empress Xiao's master and servant looked at each other and smiled, triumphant.

Spring festival? The family is all about making dumplings with happy words during the New Year, blessing each other, etc., but these people in the palace don't look down on the entertainment methods of these ordinary people, anyway, Yuan Ziyan dares to guarantee that Yang Guang will not be interested in it.
