Mingzhu was slightly stunned, and asked casually, "But does my father-in-law have any instructions?" ”

"This old slave doesn't know. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Uncle Wang shook his head and refused to speak.

"Let's go, we'll find out when we go and see." Zhou Li picked up his coat and put it on, and said to Mingzhu.

"Okay." Mingzhu didn't change her clothes, she only wore a homely floral gown and planned to follow.

Uncle Wang spoke again, "Young grandma, let's change into formal clothes, and there may be a ride in the palace later." ”

"Oh, it seems that there is something serious, so you wait for me." Mingzhu became a lot more serious when she heard it.

After returning to the house, I thought about it, and asked people to take a gown with silver embroidered dark flowers and eight Hunan skirts to change into, and put on a phoenix step shake and a ruby gold hairpin for decoration, which was appropriate.

All the way to the study, Uncle Wang bowed down and did not go in.

"Come in, sit down. Brother Li pours a cup of tea for your daughter-in-law, you go down first, I have something to say to your daughter-in-law. King Rong stood in front of the calligraphy and painting opposite the window with his hands behind his back in a daze.

Zhou Li hesitated, glanced at Mingzhu, looked at her with reassuring eyes, and told her not to worry, the sky is falling with me, "Yes." ”。

"Father-in-law, even if you tell me something, as long as my daughter-in-law can do it, I will definitely not refuse." Mingzhu said with a smile as he looked at King Rong's back.

"The imperial brother said that he promised you to be the ruler of the female guard in the palace, and he asked me to take you into the palace in a while. Why do you want this right? King Rong's voice was unhurried and unusually calm.

"Let's talk about selfishness first, after experiencing several dangers, I have realized a truth, only if you are strong can you protect yourself. The second is that I hope that the Shangguan family can land safely, which is my family's goal all along, and I will make every effort to change the court. This is also the most important reason why I chose Brother Li, only a strong force can protect me, protect my family and the people I love. Now fill in one more reason, that is, I hope to have the ability to stand with Brother Li to bear the wind and rain together, this is not just staying at home to take care of the elderly and children, this is far from enough, I have a lot of ideas but the premise is that I must get the right to this team, gain a firm foothold in the clan, and become the first person in the clan. What does it mean to be a queen? I want to be someone that even the emperor can't easily shake. ”

Mingzhu's heart is big but very pragmatic, she works silently for her goals, she doesn't need others to admit how great your reasons are, or she doesn't care about the ridicule of others, she is very persistent towards her goals.

"It's a hard road, why do you have to choose the hardest path?"

King Rong sighed, as if he had regret and emotion. Mingzhu didn't see King Rong's expression, and he didn't know that his eyes were full of praise and appreciation at the moment.

"I have enjoyed the best resources and scenery, and I deserve to bear more hardship and responsibility than others." Mingzhu responded calmly.

"Tell Brother Li to come in."

King Rong turned to look at them, "The emperor has already promised to hand over the Zichen Order to Mingzhu." ”

Surprise flashed in Zhou Li's eyes, "Really? Great, Mingzhu, your efforts have not been in vain. He grabbed Mingzhu's hand excitedly, unusually happy.

Mingzhu looked unusually calm, even a little sentimental, "This is in exchange for the lives of my grandfather and the queen mother, and it is the compensation for discarding us that day." She let out a long sigh and a tear in the corner of her eye.

He couldn't forget the old tears left by the queen mother after the emperor left that day, and the sadness and the strength and bravery of the fighting spirit were deeply rooted in her heart.

"Pearl......." Zhou Li held her hand and didn't know what to say.

Outsiders are brave and strong in Mingzhu, worthy of being the daughter of a military general, and they all give a thumbs up and praise, but in fact, the Shangguan family itself keeps silent about this matter, because the hidden pain in it is difficult to let go.

The emperor can't, the queen mother can't, the old man can't, Shangguan Hao can't, and Mingzhu can't, relieved!

"I'm fine, so much effort can't be in vain, let's go into the palace." Mingzhu covered her face with her hands, and calmed down for a while.

"Good boy, you are a good person, if you need anything, just go to your Uncle Wang, if you need money, go to the account office to get it, I will say hello." King Rong's language is gentle and gentle, as if he treats his favorite juniors.

"Father-in-law, don't worry, no matter what time it is, Shangguan Mingzhu will not embarrass the family to the palace, Brother Li." Mingzhu looked at King Rong calmly and leisurely, and assured him loudly.

"Good! Good! Good! Walk into the palace. "King Rong was full of spirits, and he only felt a hundred times more energetic.

The group entered the palace and saw the queen mother and the emperor in Cining Palace, and there were only two of them in the inner hall, and there was no one in the inner hall.

"See the emperor." King Rong led them in prostration.

"My nephew has seen Uncle Huang."

"My nephew and daughter-in-law have seen Uncle Huang."

"Well, get up. Mingzhu stepped forward. The Emperor beckoned to Mingzhu.

Mingzhu took a step closer and knelt on the ground and looked at the emperor, his gaze firm and calm.

"I know that I have always been ashamed of the Shangguan family and the queen mother. I thought about it for a long time and hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to give you a chance, and also give yourself a chance. I handed over the Zichen Order to you, with which I can command all the secret guards and guards in the palace, and at the same time use the guards of the inspection institute. I give it to you, and I hope you can make good use of it, and don't let down the expectations of the queen mother. ”

The emperor took out a small black gold bracelet that looked like iron and non-wood, and solemnly put it on for her.

"This is a mechanism, which is made by the Mo family with heirlooms, which can be made into wrenches and small tokens, and can also be used as bracelets, and there is also a mechanism inside that can be used to put thin needles to play a role in self-defense. The pattern on the top and the pattern on the back are a set that can prove your identity, and with it you can command them. ”

"Uncle Xie Huang trusts me, and I will do my best to be fair and impartial." Mingzhu knows why he can get this token, because fairness and objectivity are what people in power should do.

"Good, good boy!"

The Emperor patted her head lovingly, smiling, and his eyes were full of kindness.

Mingzhu moved to the side and sat with the Queen Mother, looking at each other, there were faint tears in their eyes, the old hand held her hand, faintly trembling, they had made a lot of efforts and sacrifices for this day, and the sourness in their hearts was indescribable.

In the end, the two didn't say anything, and the Queen Mother didn't have any instructions or words.

"I've already told the inspectors about this, but if you want to subdue them, it's not a day's work, it's up to you to work hard. Hongrui and Hongmei are the captains of the two female guards, and you can discuss other handover matters with them. The Emperor waved his hand as if he didn't want to go any further.

"Yes."

"What's next for you?" The Emperor asked.

Mingzhu just pondered for a moment and asked, "I heard Brother Li say that the northwest will open a station next year?" In addition to grain and grass first, there is also an extremely important part of the military intelligence, there are many small countries in the northwest, I think the most delayed time is to spy on the military situation, how reliable is their alliance? Whether there is any other water in this, we don't know, in this regard, I think the inspection institute should be able to make some efforts, that year to send the fourth brother has already planted seeds in advance, and it is time to germinate and produce fruits.
