The Chen family suffered heavy losses, and lost thirty percent of the jade mine in the northwest with a slap, and the annual profit was at least 100,000 taels of silver, which made the old lady and the entire Chen clan feel painful, and even made the queen in the palace angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.

In her Kunning Palace, the queen was half-lying on the red sandalwood carved chaise longue with dragons and phoenixes, with a handkerchief on her forehead, and her complexion was a little languishing and ugly.

"Well, this Shangguan family is really too deceitful, what a big deal is like this, I remember this hatred, don't let me find a chance, I won't let go of the Shangguan family." The queen lay weakly, with a strong hatred in her eyes.

Mama took care of her carefully, and couldn't stop comforting, "Niangniang, I think the emperor is dissatisfied with us and the Chen family?" It should also be reminded, in the end, the holy will is more important, you see that this time the plan is not complicated, can't the emperor see it? didn't say a word, didn't come from beginning to end, let's take a look, and I didn't come on the first day of the new year, so the court was so busy? There's still a lot of effort to eat, right? Niangniang should be vigilant, you must know that the Seven Princes are still young, and they are still early to grow up, so you must not lose your sacred heart! The old lady also asked the old slave to remind the mother not to speak for the Chen family, and she had to avoid the limelight. ”

For so many years, this upbringing grandmother has had a huge influence on the queen, otherwise the queen's impulsive and irritable nature would have messed things up a long time ago, but after all, it is still difficult for slaves to control the queen's temper, and there are times when they do not listen to persuasion.

Especially the queen has been the master of the palace for a long time, and she has tasted the taste of holding all the power in her hands, and gradually she is not as obedient as before.

Also, when she was a little girl, she was full of trepidation and uncertainty about the future, but now she is the mother of a country, and the mother of a son and a daughter, how can she listen to a slave in everything as before.

Mama is an old man who has experienced the rise and fall of glory and pet, and she is not optimistic about the queen's situation, and she has some hidden worries in her heart. Seeing that the emperor is not more generous to the seven princes than the other princes, and he has never had the words and deeds of adding a small stove, you must know that the emperor's art is not so simple, isn't it better to cultivate it from an early age. At the very least, it should be tested in school.

But looking at the emperor as if he was no different from the Seventh Prince and the other princes, this made her, an old woman who had experienced the disputes of the previous dynasty, feel a sense of potential crisis.

However, it can't be completely conclusive, after all, the Seventh Prince is indeed a little younger, less than eight years old, and he can't see anything. Fortunately, the three princes have never looked at each other differently, so maybe the emperor has other plans, there is no precedent for the early establishment of the crown prince in this dynasty, there are still many opportunities, as long as the future talents of the seven princes are bright enough, they may not be able to qualify.

mentioned that the attitude of the Seventh Prince and Empress finally softened, and the storm in her eyes showed signs of easing, and she snorted and said angrily: "This palace knows, this palace will take care of your cultivation during this time, and let the people below pass on the word." Bring more low-ranking concubines, and the draft is about to start, this time you have to choose a few more beautiful and rich harems, and if you have a good family, you can also choose a few to show the virtue of the palace. I don't believe that a young and tender girl can't compare to the means of a half-old, hum! It is not known who killed the deer. The queen's eyes were full of smug fighting spirit.

Mama immediately praised: "It's still the mother who thinks more long-term, but will this world be a threat to us." She left no trace of her doubts.

The queen smiled smugly, "A noble girl with a good family background will definitely enter the harem, this is something that cannot be stopped, and a noble-born woman can only strengthen the royal family of the Great Zhou by entering the harem and extending her heirs." This is an iron law handed down by our ancestors, and it can't be shaken by you and me.

Besides, my child is a grandchild, which is an advantage that cannot be ignored, and my son will be seven years old after the summer this year. is already past the age of early death, even if a noble girl comes in for a while, it will not be able to threaten the palace, but it is different for the concubine, the palace also has the Chen family as support, the concubine's mother family is only a petty official, and there is no capable person in the family. Her relatives don't show that she relies on the emperor's favor, and she can compare with me. ”

The concubine is her worst enemy, and she needs to be focused on and cannot relax.

"What the queen said is very true, but the third prince should not be underestimated, he is older than the seventh prince." Mama finally showed a relieved smile, as long as the queen did not make mistakes in major matters, she was relieved, and small things could not shake the queen's status.

The queen's face also became stern, "What you said is very true, help me keep an eye on the third prince, especially to prevent him from having too much contact with the Shangguan family." ”

Then he pondered for a while before sighing, "If you want to say that although I don't like Mingzhu, I have never objected to Shuyi getting along with her, and now Wanrou's slap has made the two families strangers, I just hope that I don't have a mortal enmity, otherwise I really want to help the third prince, let our people not get close to Mingzhu, lest something really happen to be falsely accused, then it will be miserable." The adult prince and Concubine Jin's eldest prince Zhou Xing, that can't be taken lightly. ”

"Yes, with Niangniang's plan, we have the backbone." Mama breathed a long sigh of relief, okay, fortunately, the queen is still clear, and she still has a very accurate grasp of the major issues of right and wrong.

"As for Mingzhu, let her go for the time being, who let her have a good father." The queen gritted her teeth, although she was unwilling, she couldn't help it, for the sake of her emperor, she endured this little thing.

Mingzhu didn't know that she had escaped a crisis, or she didn't care if she knew, she had already experienced a hundred battles, and if she lost, she would never recover, and years of court life had taught her not to despise any opponent.

At this time, Mingzhu sat on the couch very leisurely, peeling an apple in his hand, and sitting at the bottom of the restless Brother Li.

Zhou Li went to Suo Mingzhu and the Queen Mother several times, but they were all ignored, pouted aggrievedly, sighed helplessly and lowered his head to continue copying books.

Mingzhu couldn't help but be happy when he looked aggrieved and helpless, "What are you wronged, you deserve to be punished by the master for making trouble with others in class, what do you have to be wronged if you don't listen to the class well?" ”

"I had no choice but to do it, it was the kid of the Li family who provoked me, so I reprimanded him for being discovered by the master, and I didn't mean it."

Li Mingyi, the son of the Li family, is the nephew of Prince Rong's step-family, and was selected by the royal family to be the companion of the third prince, because Zhou Li's relationship with his aunt was very dissatisfied with Zhou Li's bullying of the Li family, and he made provocative remarks many times.

Mingzhu continued to peel her skin without moving, and chuckled, "The man's husband relies on his talent to get ahead, and it is the girl's job to fight for the benefit of his tongue, don't ignore him in the future and let him shout, you don't get angry but show the other party's rudeness, I believe that the third emperor brother will not let him pull his back." ”

Zhou Li tilted his head and thought about it, pouting or nodding in response, "Okay, cheap kid, I really want to beat him up, I feel disgusted to see his nostrils facing the sky." ”

"Don't worry, when you are angry, it will be a draft in a few days." Mingzhu reminded with a smile.

Zhou Li's eyes lit up, and he responded happily, as long as he could see his mother's distorted and angry face, it was worth it, and he didn't even feel so hard copying books. (To be continued.) )
