Jiang You was startled, almost fell off the bed, and stammered after a while: "Why are you here?" ”

Xue Yuan glanced at Xiangyin lightly, and saw that she lowered her head in shock, and then turned her head to Jiang You and said with a half-smile: "The minister was worried about the emperor's bad mood in the afternoon, so he came to take a look at the emperor, but I didn't expect to hear the emperor say this as soon as I came, I really poured a scoop of cold water on my head, and my heart was cold." ”

When he was heard saying bad things behind his back, Jiang You thought he was unlucky, and muttered: "I'm talking about ordinary eunuchs, why don't you put the palm print on your head." She raised her face again and said with a smile: "The palm print is both intelligent and full of Yushu is graceful and graceful, how can it be compared with ordinary eunuchs?" ”

Xue Yuan looked at her with a smile: "Isn't the minister 'there is nothing in the first place, where can you stir up dust'?" He looked sideways at Xiangyin, and said lightly: "Aunt Yin is also an old man in the palace, let's not talk about whether you should bother the emperor with these trivial things, you should always know what to say and what not to say, right?" ”

Seeing the warning in his eyes, Xiangyin's heart jumped, and he didn't defend himself, and he was very obedient and pleaded guilty: "What the palm print said is that the slave maid lost her words. ”

In the end, after staying in the palace for a long time, he can still look at people's eyes, Xue Yuan didn't bother to bother with her for a while, and raised his hand slightly: "Aunt Yin will go out first, our family and the emperor have important matters to discuss." ”

Xiangyin's body stiffened, and he glanced at Jiang You, who was stunned, anxiously, lowered his body again, bit his lower lip and said: "The emperor has eaten too much food tonight, and it is inconvenient to take care of the palm print here, so it is better for the slave to serve here." ”

Xue Yuan swept over with a glance: "What our family wants to discuss with the emperor is a major national event, do you still want to follow along?" He raised the corners of his mouth and said with a half-smile: "Or does Aunt Yin want Sun Bingbi to invite him personally?" ”

Xiangyin's face turned slightly pale, Jiang You saw that he was distressed, and turned his head to look at Xue Yuan unhappily: "She is also single-minded, why should the palm print be so aggressive." She paused, really thinking that he had something important to discuss with her: "Xiangyin, you go down and rest first, there is no need to keep people outside the palace." ”

Xiangyin sighed almost inaudibly, bent down and retreated, Jiang You turned his head and was about to ask Xue Yuan what was important, when he saw that the person had arrived at the side of the bed, and took her hand and held it gently.

Jiang You retracted his hand uncomfortably, but he didn't break free for a while, so he could only say, "Didn't the palm print say that there was something important to discuss with me?" ”

Xue Yuan looked down at her and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you all afternoon, and the minister thinks that the emperor is here, so he hurried to see the emperor, is this considered an important matter?" ”

Jiang You saw a cold sweat in this look, lowered his head and answered vaguely, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "Where did the palm print go in the afternoon?" ”

Xue Yuan paused, and said in a rambling voice: "There is something outside the palace for the ministers to deal with in a hurry, so I went out." He sat down on the edge of Jiang You's bed with him very familiarly, and slowly rubbed it up and down her arm.

Jiang You had an expression of wanting to have a seizure and just enduring it, it was not the first time that she had grown so big because of her identity, and it was not the first time that she had been remembered by a man, but there was filial piety in front of her, and she hadn't even seen the faces of those people a few times, let alone someone who did it, so she could only say with a bitter face: "The palm print is not good on my body, can you let go first?" ”

Although she doesn't understand the affairs of men and women, she can also see that Xue Yuan is not worried about her like others for her position, but for her person, so she can't help but panic even more when she thinks about it, she can still maneuver for power, if Xue Yuan wants her, she can't give people to him, right?

This excuse was too unconvincing, Xue Yuan's hand had already reached her elbow, carefully stroked the soft skin in the crook of her arm, and said in a rambling voice: "Where is the emperor unhappy, the minister will rub it for the emperor." ”

Jiang You rubbed him itching, so he could only say bitterly: "It's good for me to endure it myself, I'm going to wash and sleep, why don't you go back first?" ”

Xue Yuan thought about it seriously: "I remember that the emperor didn't have to apply ointment before going to bed?" How to apply it yourself, or help you. ”

Jiang You didn't pay much attention to her appearance, but at the beginning, Empress Zhang was worried a lot, so she ordered the imperial doctor to prepare several kinds of ointments in the palace, including anti-chilblains in winter, and moisturizing in summer.

Jiang You was stunned, and was about to answer, Xue Yuan had already gotten up to open the box, he took a bottle out casually, turned his head and asked, "Where is this?" ”

Jiang You subconsciously replied: "Legs, legs." She looked at Xue Yuan's eyes, and hurriedly curled her legs in the quilt: "I, I'll come by myself." ”

Xue Yuan Zhengse said: "What is the emperor's words, do you want the ministers to watch the emperor busy on the side, but he is enjoying leisure on the side?" Without waiting for Jiang You to answer, he poured out some pale paste on his hand and rested her leg on his knee.

Jiang You muttered in a low voice: "This thing is all done by the incense seal, and the palm print does not know the amount."

Xue Yuan lifted the trouser leg of her bedgown, and the slender and straight calves like snow came into view, he squinted, which was very pleasing to the eye, and said while gently painting it up: "What does the emperor think of the ministers compared to others?" ”

Jiang You kicked on his leg restlessly, thought for a while, and said, "It's a little hard, and the incense mark is softer." She wanted to say a few words, but Xue Yuan's hand snaked up, and she whispered: "Above, no need for above." ”

Xue Yuan's thin white fingers swirled lightly around the crook of his leg, and he didn't pay attention to her voice, but raised his head to look at her face, the original baby fat had faded, and now it was beautiful and charming, showing more and more girlish charm. In the past, he had seen Jiang You a few times in the palace, and he didn't have any special feelings at that time, but then somehow, the little emperor of the Jiang family, who would pass by at a glance, slowly crashed into his heart.

He suddenly remembered Xiaozong, Xiaozong had to reuse him to suppress the civil officials and hold the clan hostage over the years, but on the other hand, he was full of vigilance, especially Jiang You was very strict in his care, and Dongchang was not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the East Palace, but he didn't expect that as soon as he died, he started Jiang You's idea and let her fall into his arms.

Xue Yuan's hand was still tossing and turning, rubbing and lingering on the skin of her inner thighs, Jiang You tilted his head and gasped a few times, and couldn't help but block his hand that was getting higher and higher, every word seemed to pop out of between his teeth, with a light panting tone: "Palm print, enough." ”

Xue Yuan was tickled by her different sharp and delicate tones, and moved his fingertips upward, twirling on the tender skin on the inner thighs, and said with a smile: "Don't the emperor like it?" ”

Jiang You was panting by him, closed his eyes and thought about it, frowned and said, "I don't like it." ”

Xue Yuan was slightly stunned, and sighed in his heart, if it was Concubine Rong's kind of amorous woman, she would definitely enjoy the joy between the bed, she was still too young and didn't understand love. You can't get fun with the wind. Month to quote. Seduce her.

He thought about the future in his heart, so he put away his hand and said, "Since the emperor doesn't like it, that's it." As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Jiang You's white face, fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and he asked with his eyebrows: "What's wrong with the emperor?" ”

Jiang You glanced at him with a white face, and then wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand: "I, as soon as I was nervous, my stomach rose again." ”

Xue Yuan sighed, and went to the imperial doctor without saying a word, this commotion was more than half a night, and when Jiang You was so easy that he was not uncomfortable, it was time for the early dynasty again, she didn't sleep all night, and she quarreled again for the matter of Lichu in the early dynasty, she learned smart this time, so she simply let two groups of people with different opinions quarrel, and watched from the wall by herself, and when it was easy to stay up to the next dynasty, she leaned on the dragon chair and looked at Xue Yuan faintly.

Xue Yuan knew that he was at a loss, and when he saw the circle of Qingdai under her eyes, he felt pity, and took her hand and said softly: "It's all ministers, now go back in the morning to make up for sleep, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night, be careful to reverse the day and night, and the minister will take the emperor to the imperial garden for a walk." ”

Jiang You hummed and chirped unhappily, but he couldn't entangle him, so he let him pull him to the imperial garden.

Now it is the middle of spring, the grass in the imperial garden grows warblers fly, the green poplars smoke willows, the dawn cold has gradually receded, the pond is delicate and pitiful, and everywhere is full of vitality.

Jiang You has been busy with his foot on the back of his head recently, he hasn't been in the garden for a long time, and when he saw this scene, he also smiled on his face, and wanted to pick flowers, but he was not tall enough, so he had to raise his eyes to look at Xue Yuan.

Xue Yuan smiled at her, raised his hand to fold a peach blossom and handed it to her, and asked, "Which one does the emperor want?" ”

Jiang You picked up the good-looking color and pointed at it, and said with a grateful face: "When I was a child, Xiangyin often picked flowers and made a flower crown for me to wear on my head, and when I grew up, she said that she should wear some hairpins and rings, and then with this annoying joke, I never wore it again." ”

Xue Yuan originally raised his hand to pick it, but when he heard the words, he glanced at her obliquely: "Since this is the case, the emperor will find Aunt Yin to pick it, and the minister will not accompany him." ”

Jiang You sighed, slapped his sleeve and smiled at her: "The palm print is tall, you see that the good ones are in high places." ”

Xue Yuan sighed, and walked a few places to help her take it off, she all looked good and pointed at random, some colors did not match, fortunately, this did not bother him, took out a few good colors and carefully matched, and handed them to her in a brocade garland.

Jiang You took off the crown, scattered a soft long hair, gently took it and put it on, put the remaining hairpins on the top of his hair, and asked him with a smile: "Do you feel the palm print?" ”

She used to care about whether she looked good or not, but now I don't know if she is getting older and has begun to love beauty. He bowed his head: "The emperor is good no matter how he dresses up." ”

Jiang You smiled when he heard this, and reluctantly stroked the flower crown: "I also look good, but it's a pity that it will wither in a few days." ”

Xue Yuan shook her hand: "If the emperor likes it, the minister will make it up and send it to you every day." ”

Jiang You was a little embarrassed, but looking at his eyebrows and eyes, he was so gorgeous that he forcibly compared the flowers in the courtyard, and he was reluctant to withdraw his hand, so he let him pull it all the way.

At the bottom of the pile of exquisite stones, there is a slender and plump figure clenching the handkerchief in his hand under the cover of the stacked stones, and his expression is not only happy to pinch the handle of the person, but also a little unwilling to be jealous, she is a person who has gone through things, and Xue Yuan looked at Jiang You's eyes full of tenderness and affection, it was not the eyes of the courtiers looking at the emperor at all, and it was not like being greedy for freshness to play at will.

She didn't expect that she would lose to a little girl, I really don't know if Xue Yuan has any quirks, she refuses to let a ready-made woman like her refuse, she would rather guard a little girl who can't be eaten, and for a while she was unwilling and excited to grab the handle, she stood in place and thought for a while, then turned her head sideways and said to Yilan beside her: "Let's go to Shouchang Palace." ”

With a 'bang', the blue and white porcelain tea cup was thrown to the ground, dripping and turning a few times, and all the amber tea soup inside spilled out, splashing the blue brick floor with Fushou pattern.

The Empress Dowager slapped the case hard: "Really? They dare to openly raise eyebrows in the blue sky and daylight?! ”

Concubine Rong held the silk and nodded very lightly: "The concubine thought that it was not good to be bored in the house today, so she went to walk in the garden, but she didn't expect to meet the palm print and the emperor laughing, and the concubine knew that they didn't want to see me, so she wanted to hide to the side first, but I didn't expect to see them behaving arbitrarily in the imperial garden." She lowered her head and said, "The concubine thinks this is inappropriate, so Tete came to find you and asked you to come and get an idea." ”

The Empress Dowager first said to her gently: "Good boy, I should sue me about this, you did a good job." She kept her face calm, circled the Buddhist beads in her hand a few times, turned around and whispered a few words to the grandmother standing behind, and when the grandmother was gone, she used a silver skewer to pluck the sandalwood in the Boshan furnace, and sat quietly in the hall without saying a word.

Less than half an hour later, the grandmother returned to Shouchang Palace, she sent everyone away, raised her eyes and asked, "How is it?" ”

Mama nodded: "I didn't see how it was, but it is true that the emperor and the factory are very close, and the factory stayed in the Qianqing Palace last night, and I heard that as long as Xue Changgong is there, the emperor does not like to ask people to serve." ”

The Empress Dowager slapped the Buddha beads on the table with a 'bang', and couldn't stop sneering: "The mourning family said that Xue Yuan was determined to protect the emperor, it turned out that the two of them had this layer of collusion, no wonder he was so attentive to the emperor!" She said in a deep voice; A good emperor, in order to seek protection, mixed with the eunuchs, and the faces of the ancestors and ancestors of the Qi Dynasty were all lost by her! She still has the face to refuse to establish a prince, but she is afraid that anyone who will be the emperor will be better than her. ”

Concubine Rong on the side didn't expect her to dare to say this directly, she sat in place and was shocked, I don't know what she was doing, but her face was still calm, she now has too few cards in her hand, although she knew that Xue Yuan was an impostor, but she didn't dare to say it directly, for fear that Xue Yuan would directly result in her, so she wished that both sides would lose the battle, and she would sit back and reap the benefits.

The Empress Dowager looked at her clutching the handkerchief in her hand and laughed quietly: "I was worried that there was no way to hold Xue Yuan hostage, but I didn't expect it to be sent to the door by myself." She said in a deep voice: "Such a person, I wanted to be subdued and be an arm, but I didn't expect him to have a big idea in his heart, and he hit the emperor with the idea, or maybe think of a way to make him mess up, and then our affairs can go smoothly." ”

She raised her eyes and looked at the eaves, and said slowly: "I will worship my ancestors in a few days, so let's give the matter at this time." ”

It's time to worship the ancestors again, and these ministers on the □□ are like beating chicken blood, talking about the matter of the prince one after another, these sub-civil officials can pull from the three emperors and five emperors all the way to the future of the Great Qi Dynasty hundreds of years later, the center is still around the Li Chu, Jiang You was coaxed by them to be dizzy, or bite to death and did not let go.

Later, things were even more troublesome, one night many ministers and people and Jiang You, who lived in the palace, all saw a broom star dragging a bright tail and rushing straight towards Beidou, the broom star has always been regarded as a bad omen, and this time it first exploded from Qin Tianjian.

Some say that there are stars entering the Beidou, that is, because the emperor insists on refusing to establish the prince, the heavens will be furious, which is a sign of a catastrophe, and some say that the fetus in Concubine Rong's womb is a disaster star, so there are stars in the Beidou, and also say that the Big Dipper is a metaphor for the current emperor, if he insists on setting up this child as a storage position, he is afraid that he will bring disaster to today's saint.

Jiang You quarreled a lot, but Xue Yuan was still there, she couldn't help but be dissatisfied, Xue Yuan smiled and comforted her: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, when the ancestors are worshipped, this matter will be understood." ”

She has always been unconditionally convinced of Xue Yuan, and let the two groups of people quarrel and shout for a while, and it was easy to come to the time of Chengtian to worship the ancestors, according to the rules, the emperor should first lead a few important ministers to the palace to invite the empress dowager, Jiang You adhered to the mind of seeing the empress dowager a few times if he could see a few times, thinking of rushing to send her to the chariot early, saving goodbye on the road.

When she arrived, it was still early to start worshipping the ancestors, and the Empress Dowager was accompanied by several noble ladies on the left and right to talk, and when she saw her greeting a few words with kindness on her face, she held the five phoenixes on her sideburns and said: "A few days ago, I saw the obscure star rushing to the Beidou, and the mourning family was worried about the emperor for a while. ”

Jiang Youcai didn't believe that he had been arguing with her for these days, so he said very unceremoniously: "What did the imperial grandmother say?" It's just a star, and everyone thinks that the new wizard has been talking about it for a few days, and the noise can't really be talked about. ”

The Empress Dowager took a sip of tea: "Really?" How did the mourning family hear that this obscure star is related to the matter of the establishment of the prince that has been hotly discussed recently, the emperor, as the king of a country, is naturally responsible for state affairs, this is clearly an ominous omen revealed by God, how can you ignore it? ”

Jiang You frowned and said impatiently: "What the imperial grandmother said is that I have already asked Qin Tian to supervise the calculation, and calculated that the child in Concubine Rong's belly is a disaster star, according to the meaning of the imperial grandmother, can I still force Concubine Rong to beat the child in her belly?" ”

The Empress Dowager was stunned by the question, and took a deep breath to calm her mind, fortunately, she didn't plan to deal with Jiang You directly now, turned her head to look at Xue Yuandao: "There have been a lot of things these days, presumably the palm print is also busy, can the body still stand it?" ”

Xue Yuan half bent down and said: "There have been more things recently, but fortunately, the minister is still young and can withstand it, so you don't have to worry too much, just live in the palace for a long time." ”

Is this an irony for her old age? The Empress Dowager looked cold, and then smiled and said: "From the day you entered the palace, the mourning family took a good look at you, and knew that you were not a thing in the pool. ”

She tucked her brows with a silk: "It's just that you have been in the palace for all these years, working hard for the Great Qi Dynasty, and doing your best for the two emperors. ”

After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Xue Yuan to reply, so she ordered someone to bring a little palace maid in, the palace maid was only thirteen or fourteen years old, her face was not powdered, she was delicate and clean, and when she looked up, everyone was secretly surprised in their hearts, this palace maid was a little similar to Jiang You, especially the same smart and heroic spirit under her eyes.

The palace maid opened her eyes wide, looking at her with a little curiosity and shyness, Xue Yuan looked at the familiar eyes and was slightly stunned, and then his face sank again, he was a person with a delicate heart, and he guessed the intention of the empress dowager in □□ instant.

Sure enough, when Concubine Shu saw the Empress Dowager coming over, she immediately understood, tucked the corners of her mouth with a silk, and raised her voice: "In the end, you still know how to □□ people, a palace maid is so beautiful, take a closer look, this palace maid is a little similar to the emperor." ”

The Empress Dowager sank her face and said angrily: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about, how can she compare with the emperor?" If you dare to talk nonsense again, go to the Taimiao to kneel for the mourning family! Concubine Shu hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, and apologized to Jiang You again and again, but she couldn't say anything.

The Empress Dowager took advantage of this to continue, and mentioned casually: "But the friendship between Xue Zhangyin and the emperor's monarchs and ministers is indeed deep, I heard that you often sleep together on the same bed, and the mourning family has never heard of the emperor being so good with anyone, and even the mourning family's own grandmother is envious." She said with a half-smile: "This girl's name is Chunlan, she is about the same age as the emperor, and she is tuning by the side of the mourning family. Those who have been taught for a while are clever and intelligent, and they will be able to serve you thoroughly. She looked at Jiang You inadvertently, with a hint of coercion in her eyes: "You don't have to worry about the emperor's side, the emperor has the world in his heart, and he will definitely not eat for it." ”

Originally, a lot of things were just not said, but once they were poked out, they made people think about it, and everyone's eyes lingered on Jiang You and Xue Yuan, with an ambiguous feeling, if it was really like what the Empress Dowager said, the emperor and the palm print eunuch were not clean, then the face of the Great Qi Dynasty was really big.

Her words suddenly pushed people into a dilemma, this palace maid's appearance is similar to Jiang Youxiao, and if she accepts it, she has a covetous mind for the emperor, and if she doesn't accept it, she has the emperor in her heart, afraid that the emperor will eat it, everyone regards this time as the time to worship the ancestors, but she poked this thing out at this time, in order to make Xue Yuan have scruples and dare not help lightly, she messed up the battle first, and the timing was just right, and she really deserved to be a veteran in the palace.

Although this matter is tricky, it is still difficult for Xue Yuan, he turned sideways and was about to speak, Jiang You opened his mouth first with an unhappy face: "Concubine Shu is right, she looks a little similar to me, the imperial grandmother sent this person out like this, didn't she put my face on the ground and stepped on it?" ”
