"Empress," Han Jiangxue chuckled. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info Queen, as a woman's highest pursuit, but she doesn't care. What she cared about most in her heart was the man who had been separated for eight years. For the sake of him in his heart, Han Jiangxue can give up all authority and glory, and is even willing to serve him as a slave for the rest of his life, accompany him to travel the mountains and rivers, and wander the world, as long as he likes it. A female god of war who makes the monarchs and ministers of the Great Liao Kingdom afraid, worshiped by the whole people, and makes the strong warriors of the enemy country feel cold, is such a little woman's mind in her heart, if her thoughts are known to the world, it is really laughing to death in the world.
Maybe Han Jiangxue hasn't dressed up well, and she didn't go to meet Empress Dowager Xiao, the number one person in the Great Xia Kingdom, right away. This Empress Dowager Xiao was already impatient, so Han Jiangxue heard someone outside coming in and reporting: "Master, the Empress Dowager's personal maid Xianglan asks to see her."
Xianglan is a maid who has followed the Empress Dowager Xiao for decades, she is almost the right hand of the Empress Dowager Xiao, when Han Jiangxue first met the Empress Dowager Xiao, when the Empress Dowager Xiao was still Princess Xiao, she was already Princess Xiao's personal maid. At that time, Princess Xiao's four personal maids Meishuang, Xianglan, Zizhu, and Jin Ju.
Mei Shuang has become the second marshal, the prince of the Liao army guarding one side; Zizhu is a female official in the imperial court, and the official is the prosecutor; The main responsibility of the Liao State Inspector is to monitor the behavior of other officials in the imperial court, and the main responsibility of the procuratorial envoy is to supervise whether other officials in the imperial court have violated the law, check whether they are corrupt, monitor whether they are loyal to the emperor, etc., with great power, similar to the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei. As for Jin Ju, it is even more mysterious, she seems to have been invisible over the years, and no one knows where she is except for Empress Dowager Xiao herself? What is she doing? But no one dares to deny her importance.
At that time, Princess Xiao's four personal maids, the other three were already the head and end of the dragon, and now there is only one person who often appears next to the Empress Dowager Xiao, and that is Xianglan.
Xianglan is ten years older than Han Jiangxue, and she is a good person who can treat and tolerate others. When Han Jiangxue first began to follow Princess Xiao, she was kind and tolerant to Han Jiangxue, especially when Han Jiangxue founded the "Red Leaf Society", they worked together and worked hard, and also experienced the test of bloody war together, at that time Xianglan was still Han Jiangxue's top boss, so Han Jiangxue has always been very close to her and respectful. Han Jiangxue respected her more in her heart than Empress Dowager Xiao, because Empress Dowager Xiao just wanted to use Han Jiangxue, but Sister Lan took care of Han Jiangxue. At the beginning, Han Jiangxue did many things with the support and acquiescence of Xianglan.
Later, because Xianglan and Han Jiangxue had an excessively close relationship, Princess Xiao was worried and afraid that the two would jointly deceive her. So Princess Xiao transferred Xianglan back to herself, but sent Meishuang to be Han Jiangxue's deputy. In this way, she comforted Han Jiangxue, because after Xianglan was transferred, the "Red Leaf Society" was completely dominated by Han Jiangxue, so that Han Jiangxue had more room to display her talents. However, she sent Mei Shuang to be Han Jiangxue's deputy, and she could also monitor what Han Jiangxue was doing, which made her feel a lot more relieved.
Xianglan saw Han Jiangxue and said: "Great beauty, don't be grinding, the Queen Mother invites you to go to the Longevity Palace for a gathering." Maybe now in front of Han Jiangxue, as long as Xianglan sees her, she can be like this, and she can easily call her a big beauty with a slight joke. Others were trembling when they saw Hanjiang and snow.
The Longevity Palace is the dormitory of the Empress Dowager Xiao. In the past, Han Jiangxue also went to the Longevity Palace many times to meet the Queen Mother, but she didn't have a heavy mood today. Because today is the day when Han Jiangxue decides to have a showdown with Empress Dowager Xiao, when Han Jiangxue refuses to be the queen, how will Empress Dowager Xiao deal with herself. Han Jiangxue has been thinking about this question for a long time....
The merit is high and the master is shocked, and if Empress Dowager Xiao wants to deal with Hanjiangxue, it is nothing more than two ways; One is that she asked the emperor to make Han Jiangxue the queen, which is the best policy in her heart, as long as Han Jiangxue becomes the queen, becomes her son's woman, and gives birth to a grandson for her. In this way, she will be at ease with Han Jiangxue. In fact, she wanted to make Han Jiangxue the queen, just to pull Han Jiangxue and ask Han Jiangxue to work for her mother and son again.
The other is the next strategy that Empress Dowager Xiao didn't dare to imagine, but had to face, that is, how she faced it when Han Jiangxue refused to be the queen. If Han Jiangxue refuses to be the queen, it means that Han Jiangxue is no longer his most reliable cronies.
Han Jiangxue has followed the Empress Dowager Xiao for many years, and Han Jiangxue knows the Empress Dowager Xiao, and she also understands her as well as the Empress Dowager Xiao. But Han Jiangxue's incomprehensible personality made Empress Dowager Xiao always wary and worried about Han Jiangxue, this girl is too powerful, she is a sharp sword, whoever has her, can be invincible and dominate the world. But if she doesn't control it well, she will hurt herself.
Over the years, Empress Dowager Xiao has been choosing between using and destroying, she wants to use Hanjiangxue, but she is afraid that Hanjiangxue's power is getting bigger and bigger, and even she can't control it herself; Empress Dowager Xiao wanted to destroy Hanjiangxue again, but once the Great Liao Kingdom lost Hanjiangxue, it would be in crisis, with rebellions inside and enemy threats outside.
Han Jiangxue is the first powerful general under the Empress Dowager Xiao, to be specific, if Han Jiangxue hadn't saved her life, she would have died when the Empress Dowager Xiao was still Princess Xiao. Later, without the help of Han Jiangxue, she Princess Xiao would not be able to be the queen mother, let alone control the country.
The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked. Now the birds are not finished, and the enemy country is not dead, so Han Jiangxue believes that even if she has a showdown with the Empress Dowager Xiao, the Empress Dowager Xiao will not be stupid enough to choose to kill herself, because once the news of her being killed or imprisoned spreads, then the balance of power within the Liao State will be broken, and the Liao State may have civil strife at any time, because the "Flying Eagle Army" under her control will definitely rebel, and at this time, the Chu State, which wants to avenge the shame of the last defeat, will join other countries to attack the Liao State.
Besides, according to the martial arts that Han Jiangxue is practicing now, there is no one in the entire Great Liao Kingdom whose martial arts can be higher than herself, and her loyal generals have already controlled a large part of the strength of the army, that is, some of the warriors guarding the palace are controlled by loyal generals, so as long as Han Jiangxue is cautious and not surrounded by the masters of the Great Liao Kingdom, Han Jiangxue has the ability to escape, so that Han Jiangxue is not afraid of Empress Dowager Xiao in her heart.
Han Jiangxue followed Xianglan to the Longevity Palace, there are three harem palaces in the palace of the Great Liao Kingdom, which are the Longevity Palace where the Queen Mother lives; Changchun Palace, where the emperor lived; There is also the Changle Palace where the queen lives. Now the emperor of the Great Liao Kingdom is just a teenager, and he has not yet established a queen, so Changle Palace has always been empty.
Han Jiangxue herself lived in Changping Palace, which was originally intended to be lived by the most noble princess of the Great Liao Kingdom, but Empress Dowager Xiao let Han Jiangxue live in Changping Palace, and Empress Dowager Xiao let Han Jiangxue live in Changping Palace, which means that Changping is the world. In fact, the four palaces together mean "longevity and happiness, and peace in the world". From Changping Palace to Empress Dowager Xiao's Longevity Palace, Hanjiangxue has to pass by Changle Palace.
Han Jiangxue had no intention of sweeping her gaze over the majestic and gorgeous Changle Palace, the window of the Changle Palace was open, but the gate was closed, and there were guards and maids standing outside, Han Jiangxue heard that the Changle Palace had been newly renovated a few months ago. Now I see that the window is open for ventilation, it has been a few months since the decoration of Changle Palace has been completed, and the smell of paint inside should also be lighter.! It seems that Empress Dowager Xiao is preparing for the emperor to make a new empress.
