Shangjing, the Queen Mother's dormitory.

The eldest princess of Lanyang is complaining to her mother, the Empress Dowager Zhou. The eldest princess of Lanyang is the sister of the little emperor's mother, and she is sixteen years old this year, four years older than the little emperor.

There are many concubines in the first emperor, but the heirs are difficult, there are a few princesses, but few are pregnant with the prince, even if a prince is born, it is difficult to grow up.

Therefore, when the first emperor died, he only had one son, the little emperor, and at that time, he was only five years old.

The little prince became the emperor, and Zhou Meiren, who had never been very favored, suddenly became the queen mother by virtue of her mother, and she had the right to listen to the government.

At the beginning, Zhou Meiren, who had just become the queen mother, was still honest, even if the court listened to the government, she didn't express any opinions, but gradually, she became bolder. In the court, excluding dissent, nepotism, her maiden brother was named a marquis, and her father was crowned a prince and a princess, but in a few years, the Zhou family has become one of the most powerful families in Kyoto from a third-class family.

If the Empress Dowager Zhou can have a little bit of political skills like Empress Lu or Wu Zetian, she may not be able to become the empress dowager who really holds the power and make the court her own hall. It's a pity that she doesn't have any political talent, and she is impatient to manage the affairs of the court, she only likes pleasure, and the power is naturally divided equally by the ministers.

However, even so, the Empress Dowager Zhou also has a transcendent role in the court that cannot be ignored.

Because most of these powerful ministers are people who have a relationship with her.

The Empress Dowager Zhou was probably not favored before, and she had been holding her back for a long time, but after becoming the Empress Dowager, she raised a male pet without scruples, and she had a quirk, she didn't love beautiful men, but only loved the kind of men who looked rough and acted rudely.

If there is a man who is valued by her, she will get it, if she is happy, high-ranking officials will be just around the corner.

Isn't today's Prime Minister Sun just holding the thigh of the Empress Dowager Zhou and climbing up? It is said that the Empress Dowager Zhou liked him very much, and she simply obeyed him, and even her father, Mrs. Zhou, once vaguely expressed his dissatisfaction.

In fact, Prime Minister Sun Cheng is not good-looking at all, he is dark and strong, and he has a big beard. But if you think he's just a rude guy with a straight gut, you're wrong, he's more cunning and vicious than anyone else. And it's also relatively talented. Otherwise, how could you climb so fast and so high? Even fight against Zhou Taishi and the Nine Thousand Years Old?

Empress Dowager Zhou loves pleasure the most, and she is extremely poor and luxurious. A few years ago, she built a large number of buildings, using the treasury of several million taels of silver to build the magnificent Palace of Bliss. It is said that the floor of the Temple of Paradise is all made of gold. And last year, when there was a drought and flood disaster in the north, 100,000 peasants were forcibly conscripted to work as coolies, and a separate garden was built outside the palace, without any regard for the lives of the hungry people. Now, except for General Song, the court is full of villains who tend to be inflammatory, bully, and have little ability, and their courtiers have either been framed and imprisoned, or have been squeezed out. Some villains just want to please the Empress Dowager Zhou, how can they dissuade them? Even if there was opposition, it was quickly silenced.

The little emperor was deliberately cultivated to be a timid and stupid fat man, who only knew that it was useless to be the Empress Dowager Zhou and the nine-thousand-year-old echo worm.

Compared with this stupid and stupid son like a pig, Empress Dowager Zhou obviously prefers this beautiful and smart daughter with a similar personality to herself.

In the palatial and beautiful Palace of Bliss, the Empress Dowager Zhou, who still has charm, pulled the eldest princess of Lanyang to sit on the golden couch covered with snow-white fox skin, wiped her tears, and snorted coldly: "Good daughter, don't cry." Since he is so ignorant of lifting, the mourning family immediately ordered someone to arrest him, put him in a dungeon, and torture him until he is willing to kowtow to you and admit his mistake, what do you think? ”

The eldest princess of Lanyang just shed tears and didn't speak, her expression was aggrieved, and with a little hatred and unwillingness, she had red eyes, choked up and said: "I have grown so big, I have never lost such a big face!" My daughter just can't understand what is wrong with me, he actually avoids me like a femme fatale? Would you rather go to the bandits than face me, am I so annoying? ”

A hint of fierceness flashed in Zhou Tianhou's eyes, "Nonsense! My daughter is beautiful and beautiful, and her identity is so noble, there is no woman in the world who can compare to you, and you see him as his blessing. If you want to mourn the family, you don't have to think about him, there are more men in the world who are better than him, it's a big deal that the queen mother will introduce you to a few, they must be much stronger than him, why do you hang yourself on his tree! ”

"No," said the eldest princess of Lanyang, wiping away her tears, and said hatefully, "The more he ignores me, the more I want to get him." I don't believe it, with my identity as the eldest princess, I can't take him. ”

What about the General's Mansion? Even if the Song family has great achievements? In front of the royal family, what is it? Nothing is more important than identity?

"Okay, since you have identified him, the mourning family will order him to come back and let him be your concubine." Empress Dowager Zhou patted her hand dotingly, and said lovingly and arrogantly.

To be honest, she doesn't like the Song family at all. Who made the Song family not accept the solicitation at all and be loyal to the emperor? Even the Song family has been pleading her son to alienate her, and they have no respect for her. Although the Song family has never come out, she can feel the contempt and contempt for her in their bones, which makes her extremely ashamed and angry, and even secretly resentful.

It's a pity that the Song family has deep roots, especially in the army, and even now, the Zhou family and the prime minister are very jealous of the Song family and dare not take it lightly. Fortunately, Prime Minister Sun Cheng had a way to send people to the Song family to make trouble, and gradually encroached on the Song family's power in the army and obtained part of the military power.

However, this is far from enough, one day, she will let this eye-catching Song family completely disappear from this world.

As for the third son of Song that her daughter likes, let him relieve his daughter's boredom first, and talk about the rest later. Anyway, without the Song family, he wouldn't be able to become a climate.

The eldest princess of Lanyang got what she wanted, and immediately burst into tears, hugged the arm of the Empress Dowager Zhou and said, "Queen Mother, I know that you are the best for me." ”

After speaking, he pouted and snorted coldly: "It's all to blame on the little brother, he was moved by Song Ziyun in a few words, and even gave him a holy decree to let him go to suppress the bandits, and gave him an excuse to leave openly, turning his elbow outward, really stupid as a pig." ”

"Forget it, your brother is like that, whatever others say, is what he says. Maybe he didn't even understand what was going on! I will order him to come back, how can the bandit be as important as my daughter's marriage. Empress Dowager Zhou said indifferently, as if the person her daughter scolded was not her son at all, and she didn't take the holy decree in her eyes.

You know, most of the time, her decrees and decrees work a lot.

After the eldest princess of Lanyang came out of the Bliss Palace, her face suddenly swelled with pride.

Song Ziyun, Song Ziyun, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I can arrest you back.

In a good mood, she saw everything pleasing to the eye, and was almost hit by a little eunuch on the road, and she didn't let him be beaten to death, but just crippled.

However, when she saw the old eunuch coming towards her, her face suddenly turned cold.

The old eunuch was dressed in a big red python robe, with gray hair, white and chubby, and he looked kind, but who knew that he was today's nine-thousand-year-old Cao Zhong.

When Cao Zhong saw the honor guard of the eldest princess of Lanyang, he didn't salute, but just hugged his fists at her slightly, and shouted with a smile: "Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess." ”

The eldest princess of Lanyang also said with a smile: "It turned out to be Gonggong Cao, where are you going in a hurry?" ”

Cao Zhong said with a smile: "The old slave is about to go to see His Majesty. ”

Cao Zhong and the Empress Dowager Zhou are not all the way, when the Empress Dowager Zhou was still a beauty, she couldn't take care of her son in person, at that time it was Cao Zhong who served by the little emperor's side, compared to the Empress Dowager Zhou, the little emperor obviously relied on Cao Zhong more, and let Cao Zhong take care of everything.

Cao Zhong has many henchmen, and he has been operating in the palace for many years, and his power is a few points stronger than that of the Empress Dowager Zhou, after all, the Empress Dowager Zhou has only been in power for nearly seven years. However, Cao Zhong was also very respectful to the Empress Dowager Zhou, and even did what he liked, offering her many great men, so the Empress Dowager Zhou did not think of dealing with him.

But the eldest princess of Lanyang can't get used to him, who let his goddaughters like to grab men with him! What are they, they are just the goddaughters of a eunuch, and they dare to compare with her, a princess, are they worthy?

The eldest princess of Lanyang was about to say a sarcastic sentence, but at this moment, she suddenly remembered something she had just found out in her mind, and a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she said with a hint of malice: "Gonggong Cao, this palace recently heard an interesting anecdote about your goddaughter. ”

Without waiting for Cao Zhong to ask, she asked as if she was curious: "I heard that one of your goddaughters found you a eunuch son-in-law, I don't know if it's true?" She said in front of Cao Zhong that she was eunuch, which was no less than pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey.

When Cao Zhong heard this, the smile on his face remained unchanged, but under the loose eyelids, a trace of gloom quickly flashed, and he asked with a smile: "Who did Your Highness listen to when he said this?" ”

"You don't have to know that. I heard that in the past year or so, your goddaughter has invited all the famous doctors in the capital, and the money has been spent like dripping water, but unfortunately it has no effect. I heard that she is now planning to post a recruitment list for a famous doctor! So, is there really something wrong with your son-in-law? In this case, I don't think there is any need to spend any effort on treatment, it is better for Gonggong Cao to personally arrange an errand for your son-in-law in the palace, which can be regarded as making the best use of his talents and making the best use of things, hehe...... "Speaking of this, the eldest princess of Lanyang covered her mouth and laughed.

But she saw that Cao Zhong's expression had not changed, and she still had a smile on her face, and suddenly felt a little bored, and finally, she restrained her smile, glanced at him contemptuously, and left with someone arrogantly.

However, as soon as she left, Cao Zhong's face sank, and he asked with a grim expression, "What does she mean by this?" ”
