The concubines of Li Zhi's generation are all commensurate with their stepmothers, while the juniors are called imperial grandmothers, as if they have regarded Yuan Ziyan as the most noble woman in the back court.

Li Zhi was very dissatisfied with Queen Wang's actions, and was about to have a seizure but was stopped by Yuan Ziyan: "Zhi'er, my stepmother is happy today, don't affect your mood for some trivial things." ”

"Yes!"

Li Zhi nodded, suppressed the anger, and then helped Yuan Ziyan to sit on the main seat. Yuan Ziyan couldn't excuse himself several times, but he still sat down in the end, and then Li Zhi led everyone to kneel and congratulate.

There is really some taste of the head of the family, Yuan Ziyan's eyes are moist, and he thinks that when his grandfather was alive, if the last birthday could be handled, it must have been such a huge and touching scene.

It's the same in ancient and modern times, the juniors below have their own thoughts, some are sincerely filial, some are worried about property, and some are afraid, maybe most of them are just agreeing, what others do, how they do it.

Except for Li Zhi, almost everyone bowed. Why do you say almost, the queen doesn't have it, she just bends her knees and bows, and her attitude is not cold.

Concubine Xiao Shufei was not afraid of the chaos, and sneered on the side gloatingly, knowing that it was another lively and beautiful scene.

"Hehe, everybody get up. We always meet on weekdays, and there is nothing to share, so let's take our places. Yuan Ziyan greeted.

Everyone thanked them in unison, and Queen Wang flicked her sleeves, and was the first to get up and return to her place and sit down, and her mother, Mrs. Wei Guo, was also present, and couldn't help but tear off Queen Wang's clothes, but she was still indifferent.

Yuan Ziyan was a little displeased, but he was a distinguished guest invited by the emperor. Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, whether it is age or seniority, he is much stronger than the queen and queen. Why do you have to look at the face of a girl.

Yuan Ziyan's face was gloomy, and Li Zhi naturally saw it in his eyes, and wanted to round the field, so he suggested: "Empress, you and I salute and congratulate your stepmother." ”

"Your Majesty, haven't all the talents already worshiped the national teacher?" Queen Wang said arrogantly.

There was an uproar, because the concubines of the Houting Court were all called their stepmothers. And Queen Wang still called the national teacher, obviously not taking Yuan Ziyan in her eyes.

"The queen, the national teacher is my stepmother. Naturally, you have to ...... too."

"Your Majesty, the concubines only know that there are biological mothers and adoptive mothers in this world, but the stepmother never knows that everyone must respect her. The national teacher is an important minister of the dynasty and does his best for the court. It's hard work. It's just that the national teacher won't force everyone to call it that, right? Queen Wang turned her head to look at Yuan Ziyan with a smile.

Yuan Ziyan couldn't help but sigh slightly, this woman seemed to be highly educated, and she had a concept of hierarchy that was difficult to give up, and she didn't even pay attention to herself. If it's a true temperament, it's just a high-eyelid.

Queen Wang seemed to have the upper hand with her ability to speak for a while, but in fact, she didn't notice that Li Zhi's face was very ugly, and it was gloomy and about to rain.

"Queen, how can you be so rude and presumptuous in front of your stepmother!"

"Your Majesty. Did the concubine say something wrong? ”

Queen Wang was snubbed and aggrieved. retorted unrelentingly, so angry that Li Zhi was even more eager to blow her away. Concubine Xiao Shu got cheap, shook her waist and stepped forward and persuaded with a smile: "Mother-in-law, Your Majesty, the queen, today is a good day, everyone is here to cheer, don't hurt your peace for this little thing." ”

"Stand down, there's no place for you to speak here!" Queen Wang scolded.

Concubine Xiao Shu was reprimanded in public, her face couldn't hold back, and she snorted angrily, but she stood beside Li Zhi and didn't move, obviously demonstrating to the queen.

"Stand down, don't the words of this palace work?" Queen Wang was so angry that her delicate body trembled, and her fingers scolded Concubine Xiao Shu loudly, this shameless and charming woman fascinated Her Majesty all day long, and she only hated her belly for not being angry, and she couldn't give birth to a son, but let this woman have the upper hand in the palace.

"Queen, the concubine knows her mistake, so she will step down." Concubine Xiao Shufei put on a pitiful look that wanted to cry without tears, and glanced at Li Zhi delicately.

Li Zhi grabbed Concubine Xiao Shu and said unhappily: "Concubine Shu, what are you wrong?" On the contrary, it was the queen who shouted on the occasion of her stepmother's birthday, the queen, if she is not willing to stay here, just retreat. ”

"Your Majesty!"

"Enough!" Yuan Ziyan stood up suddenly, the majesty on his face appeared, and everyone was startled, and they all closed their mouths and didn't dare to speak. Although Queen Wang was not convinced, for some reason, she was also stunned and faintly regretted, she shouldn't have gotten along with the national teacher in order to be angry.

"I didn't want to get involved in state affairs and your vulgar things anymore, but I said when the emperor was there, and when he returned to heaven, I would guard his tomb. However, the first emperor was relieved that he could not go to Zhi'er, and ordered me to be the minister of Tuogu, and made Zhi'er respect his mother-in-law. Yuan Ziyan looked around coldly, and said coldly: "These are the intentions of the first emperor, if anyone is not convinced, just go to the Taimiao Temple and cry to the first emperor, why sneer here, do you really think that I won't blame you and wait?" ”

"The concubine doesn't dare!" The women hurriedly knelt down again, and the queen was forced to kneel down as well.

"Queen, I appreciate your dignified elegance and general knowledge, and I hope you don't forget your identity because of jealousy." Yuan Ziyan said, Queen Wang was ashamed and kept nodding her head, but Mrs. Wei Guo felt a little sorry for her daughter, and stood up again, before she could speak, Yuan Ziyan stopped her: "The adopted son is not the fault of the godfather, the queen is a humble and tolerant person, and it is you, the mother, who instigate in her ears every day, making the queen resentful and frequently rude." Mrs. Wei Guo, the palace is not in agreement with you, so let's get out of the palace as soon as possible! ”

"Master Guoshi, it is Your Majesty's will for me to stay in the palace." Mrs. Wei panicked when she heard this, and hurriedly excused.

"It's like a mother and daughter, and they all think that what I say doesn't work." Yuan Ziyan disagreed, and said: "When the two emperors Gaozu and Taizong were in power, the heirs were prosperous, and there were few jealous people in the back court. During the time of Gaozu, there were also several concubines who did not abide by women's morals, and were finally ordered by Gaozu himself to drown in the lake, but when the first emperor was there, this never happened. ”

"Stepmother, there is no way to discipline the child, and I am very ashamed." Li Zhi arched his hand in embarrassment.

"You really should reflect on yourself, as the king of a country, but let the women of the back court lead the nose, if there is a spirit in Taizong's underground, you have to be angry with you!" Yuan Ziyan said angrily, and then ordered: "Come on, immediately pack up the lady of Wei Guo and leave the palace within two hours!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Mrs. Wei Guo was completely panicked, if she left, who would train her willful and proud daughter, and she would not be slaughtered?

"Go ahead!" Li Zhi frowned and said with a cold face.

Mrs. Wei didn't dare to insist anymore, so she could only wait for the opportunity to enter the palace in the future, and she inevitably cursed Yuan Ziyan in her heart, and Yuan Ziyan heard all of them. I really don't know whether to live or die, and I didn't realize my mistake until this time.

When Queen Wang lost her mother's support, she became very dazed, crying like tears, and hurriedly went to pack up her mother's things, as long as she didn't violate the palace rules, she let her take them home.

It's a pity that Mrs. Wei still didn't remind her daughter to join the national teacher at this time, but repeatedly cursed the national teacher for covering the sky with one hand, and even the emperor listened to her, as long as this kind of person lives in the back court, it must be a huge obstacle.

Invisibly, Queen Wang also regarded Yuan Ziyan as her number one enemy, and she was even more jealous in her heart.

Mrs. Wei is not stupid, and before leaving, she still persuaded her daughter not to be blindly arrogant, but to win over her own forces. The affairs of the court will be handed over to the parents, and they will naturally not let their daughter be left out in the cold, and the court will need her daughter's own efforts.

Queen Wang looked at a loss, and Yuan Ziyan was still in the highest position in the court, but the two were currently a little conflicted, and it was impossible to restore the previous relationship.

Mrs. Wei Guo pointed out that the people of Yuan Ziyan's generation will eventually grow old, and they should start with Li Zhi's generation, such as those princesses?

Queen Wang suddenly realized that her mother was the best person in the world for her, and after crying and sending her mother away, she also began to use her brains.

Of course, at present, the most direct and effective way is to give birth to a son as soon as possible, and the prince will generally be established as the prince, with the prince to rely on, what are you afraid of Xiao Shufei, after all, Xiao Shufei also has the day of old age and decay.

However, to the great frustration of the queen Wang, the imperial doctor also said that there was nothing wrong with him, and the other palace people and concubines had already given birth to several children, indicating that the emperor's body was also fine, but why couldn't he give birth to children?

In fact, from the perspective of modern medicine, Queen Wang is a psychological problem, feeling that she is a high-ranking nobleman, disdainful of the things between husband and wife, and even thinks that this is embarrassing, and some are not clean. So every time I can't let go, there is a lot of rejection, although I pretend to cater to it, but it is inevitable that there is a look of disgust between the eyebrows and eyes, Li Zhi is not happy, so the possibility of conception is much lower.

In fact, the queen doesn't know much about men's minds, and most men still want to see the charming and even crazy side of their wives, so that there is a lot of joy under the bed. Always with a straight face and a shelf, you will lose a lot of fun by changing anyone.

These are not things that can be taught by mothers or friends, you have to figure it out on your own, and the queen is resting on her laurels, so naturally she can't figure out other truths.

And the reason why Concubine Xiao Shufei is favored is that in addition to her very good family affairs, she has a lot of love with Li Zhi, and every time she is like a fish in water, which makes people feel comfortable and naturally harmonious.

Looking back at Yuan Ziyan, of course she wouldn't be angry with a junior, and she had long forgotten about these unpleasantness. And it didn't take long for Yuan Ziyan to discover an abnormal phenomenon, that is, the number of times Princess Gaoyang entered the palace increased significantly, in addition to asking Li Zhi for an official position on her horse, she also walked very close to the queen.

This phenomenon is not normal, after Princess Gaoyang was banned from entering the palace by Li Shimin, she held a grudge, and even her father's funeral was just perfunctory, why is it now unusual, and she is close to her mother's family? (To be continued......)
