Chapter 3

"This noble man is not willing to make friends with the emperor."

"I know that I just don't want them to end up in the same situation." Yu Hao threw down a jade pendant and smashed it at the feet of the man in Xuanyi impartially, "Spread my order, step up surveillance, and we must not let the rebels from all over the country gather in one place." ”

"Subordinates remember."

Yu Hao pondered for a while, and suddenly spoke: "Chengying, let you fight with your former comrades-in-arms, will you complain." ”

The man known as Chengying raised his head suddenly, although his face was cold and resolute, his extraordinarily clear and bright eyes were glowing with white light: "My subordinates have always been loyal to His Highness. What's more, His Highness has to endure far more pain than his subordinates. ”

At that moment, the Son of Heaven smiled bitterly, not knowing whether to be relieved or sad. Since he succeeded to the throne to the present, he has been elastic for years, but every time he thinks about it, it is like a different life, which makes him tired. "I'm tired, go down."

When the Queen Mother's birthday was officially discussed with the Hegong, it was already the day when she asked Chaofeng Palace for peace half a month later.

In fact, everyone does not know the details of the entanglement between the emperor and the queen mother, but it is a well-known fact that his mother and son are not harmonious. That day, Qingluan avoided the emperor's words, and he didn't want him to trust himself too much. She naturally didn't want to get involved between the two, and she didn't want to be the target of the Queen Mother.

It's just that the emperor's pro-government has been repeatedly interfered with in the past few years, and there are many ministers in the palace who are the eyes of the queen mother. The victory in the frontier war five years ago had indeed brought the young king to his feet, but he had not yet grown his wings to match the ambition of a mere woman.

Therefore, this big birthday is handed over to the queen, and it is indeed a tricky job for that woman. You can't be poor and sour the birthday banquet, but you have to think about the emperor's mind to do it, and you don't dare to exceed the courtesy. Because of this, the queen was unable to sleep for a few days and nights, and she couldn't hide her tiredness in the face of the concubines in the morning.

"The queen's face is not good, although the six palaces are busy, they must focus on the phoenix body. Niangniang is the backbone of the concubines......"

"He Guiren is really good at talking," it was the domineering Lan Xilan nobleman who interrupted her. She wore a purple pleated fringe skirt today, wearing a pearl of the South China Sea, and outlined the eyebrows of the distant mountains in a shocking way. ”

He Guiren was speechless for a while, and looked at the woman in front of him with wide eyes and a proud posture.

Concubine Chen covered her face with her sleeves and put the half-drunk tea back on the small case. "Sister is really, if it takes a lot of effort to deal with harem affairs, why not find someone more capable to take over."

When the queen heard this, she only smiled lightly: "My sister is incapable of the Dao Palace?" ”

"The concubine doesn't dare." Concubine Chen raised her head suddenly, with exquisite makeup on her face, "The concubine only knows that if it wasn't for the reason for the incident, maybe the person who has to work for the Sixth Palace today is not you, my sister." ”

"God destined this palace to work so hard, and this palace has to resign itself to fate."

"The Queen." Qingluan saw that the two of them were gradually becoming more and more talking, and they hurriedly blocked each other's words, "The concubine heard that the six palaces have been personally involved in the Queen Mother's birthday banquet recently, and the mother has other instructions today." ”

As soon as she spoke, everyone's eyes were on her. Concubine Chen had an appointment with her before, and now that Qingluan has become a nobleman, she originally joined forces with Qingluan according to her words, so naturally it was not easy to open her mouth to save her face, so she ignored it. In this way, there was a sudden silence in the palace, and the queen and Concubine Chen had become incompatible since the day they entered the palace, as if it was an endless competition, but no one dared to stop it.

Although Qingluan's sentence shocked everyone about her guts, in the end she also said what she didn't dare to say. The queen didn't have a seizure immediately, so she only cleared up the tea and said: "I haven't seen you sisters in this palace for a long time, and I forgot to do business when I was chatting for a while." It is still a timely reminder from Hunan nobles. ”

For a while, everyone nodded in agreement, and the queen bowed slightly, but there was no smile in her eyes. "At present, the two rivers have just been flooded, and the emperor means that it is inconvenient to be too extravagant. The treasury is already in a state of deficit, so I want to ask the palaces if there is a good way to hold this birthday feast. ”

"It is necessary not only to move the treasury, but also to be grand and consummating. blocked the mouths of the people who said that the emperor was extravagant, but did not lose the face of the queen mother, and the queen was really smart. If this matter is put on the concubine, it is impossible to think of an expedient solution. Concubine Chen sat on the Nanmu golden silk red chair and spoke leisurely, with a pair of hanging phoenix eyes full of shrewdness.

"Having said that, what my sister said was a bit harsh." The queen heard the meaning of her words, but she only disagreed, "Saving expenses for the country is what the harem should do." ”

Concubine Chen laughed, "Since this is the case, it depends on the queen's wisdom, and we are really stupid." ”

However, on the one hand, she is her aunt, and on the other hand, she is her husband, and the queen is indeed in a dilemma. Although everyone didn't point it out, they understood in their hearts that this was not a hot potato.

"It's better to invite the mage to dance in the palace, which can be regarded as congratulating the queen mother, but also driving away the bad luck of the flood." When Concubine Zhuang opened her mouth like this, some people praised her magic. But it was Concubine Chen who took a look at the desktop with a gold-plated silk armor cover, and Shi Shiran said: "How did my sister forget, the joke of Concubine Xin that I made last time is still a palace taboo." ”

When Concubine Chen said this, she was immediately silent. She has always been domineering, and everyone dare not go against her will. It's just that although she is domineering, she is not as embarrassed as she was before, and because the two of them had something to say in private, Qingluan was only silent, and coldly watched Concubine Chen and the queen face each other.
