Chapter 110: Open Battles and Secret Battles

Empress Dowager Dou stood under the corridor of the Jiade Palace, watching Wang Yin'er command several palace people to send dozens of pots of Ruixiang, tea plum, primrose, phalaenopsis, hyacinth, magnolia, etc. At that time, it was dusk, and the sky was full of clouds, like a fine splendor, reflecting these dozens of pots of flowers that were blooming, and I also felt that the light was overflowing.

Wang Yin'er smiled and said: "Queen Mother, these flowers are blooming so well, Ming'er is the birthday of the Queen Mother, which is also a part of the emperor's heart." Look at this flower, it's so beautiful. ”

Empress Dowager Dou smiled, took Wang Yin'er's hand and walked to the bottom of the steps, carefully admiring the pots of flowers that bloomed like a waterfall, "In this way, it can be regarded as the emperor who has not hurt the emperor in vain, from childhood to adulthood, although he is not the blood and blood of the mourning family, but I also raised him with one hand and trained him carefully." ”

Wang Yin'er said with a smile: "That's right, with your personal training, now the emperor can be majestic in the previous dynasty, I heard that now the ministers are praising the emperor, and they are better than the previous emperor." Now that the Queen Mother has passed her birthday, the emperor is also seventeen years old. Just like this flower, it's blooming just right! ”

Empress Dowager Dou nodded and asked, "I know all this, Yin'er, how is He Shutong there, why is there no news in this paragraph, how did I do the things I told him?" ”

Wang Yin'er glanced at the Empress Dowager Dou, and said in her heart that she did not agree with the idea of the Empress Dowager Dou taking power again, even if she united some unfinished old ministers in the court, it was only the end of the crossbow. Now that Liu Zhao has completely grasped the power, and the DPRK and the central government are united with the emperor inside and outside, it is impossible to go back to the past. But she is just a maid, and the maid can only serve, and has no right to speak. So. She sighed in her heart and said, "Queen Mother, He Shutong has news, only said that he is in contact, and there will be news soon, but now that the enemy and I are unknown, it is not as convenient as before." ”

"Tell him not to rush. It's like this pot of flowers. The flowers in front are blooming, and the ones in the back are not in a hurry. By the right time and place, as long as there is a certain opportunity. God will help the mourning family. Empress Dowager Dou held a flower bone flower in her hand and said with a smile.

Wang Yin'er took the silk and wiped her hands for the Empress Dowager Dou and said: "The Empress Dowager, the emperor is also respectful to you now, and you are also satisfied with the emperor." Why should this be the same? ”

"You don't understand. Although on the surface, I still have the final say in this palace, but having no power in the court is like a bird without wings, no matter how high it flies. It will also fall. I am a woman's family, and I want to live a long life and live happily. To live like an individual is to hold the power firmly in your hands. When the time comes. Even if it is the emperor, I will not let it go. You understand, the emperor has been a tool of mine since he was a child, the better the training, the better the tool, the blessing of the mourning family is the right, now I don't value the position, but the future will be long! ”

Wang Yin'er sighed, "Queen Mother, slaves and maids don't understand so much, slaves and maids only know how to compare their hearts with their hearts, no matter what happens outside, the emperor is always a strong force for the queen mother, this is filial piety, there have been so many emperors throughout the ages, which one is more filial than the emperor?" ”

Empress Dowager Dou nodded and said, "Yes, Zhao'er is satisfied with the mourning family at this point." He will also please the mourning family, and he will always come to the mourning family to say goodbye to him, and the rules are not the same at all. But Yin'er, this is not the same thing as power. This is human affection, human affection cannot be greater than the world, this is Li'er. ”

Wang Yin'er couldn't persuade anything, so she had to say: "According to the rules, the imperial concubines should also be determined in the morning and dusk, but except for the Su Palace and the Lin Palace people who come every day, the rest are not very diligent. I can't come back for three or five days, and the Queen Mother doesn't pick on them, but this is too indifferent to the Queen Mother. ”

Empress Dowager Dou looked at the sunset that was about to set, and seemed to say casually: "The mourning family lives in this Jiade Palace, saying that it is the queen mother's bedroom, and it is justifiable and the queen mother, but the emperor has not moved the mourning family to Yong'an Palace, which means that the emperor is still not at ease with the mourning family." The Jiade Hall was chosen by the mourning family themselves, and when it was chosen, the mourning family was still in charge of the world, so it was more convenient here. But now that he has put the mourning family under house arrest, he hasn't moved to the palace yet, why do you say? ”

Wang Yin'er shook her head, and Empress Dowager Dou said: "That is the place where the Empress Dowager Feng'an is, and he doesn't really regard the mourning family as his biological mother." ”

"But the emperor has never known his background!" Wang Yin'er said.

"Hmph, I don't know, do you believe it? The words that come out of this palace are less reliable than the walls of this palace, but he is still like this, that is, there is no real evidence, this is the smartest thing about Zhao'er, he is quiet, but sooner or later there will be a break. ”

Empress Dowager Dou watched those delicate flowers gradually blur their colors in the sunset, and said softly: "As for those concubines, it doesn't matter if they come twice a day, or once every three or five days. The important thing is that the eyes of the mourning family are still looking at the harem and looking at the previous dynasty, the position of the queen mother is not the housekeeper's wife, so she doesn't have to participate in everything, just point out the good things on the matter. I also wish that the harem would be in turmoil, so that Liu Zhao, the emperor, would not be able to sit still, and the mourning family would take things from it, hum, this is the real authority not to fall, and it will save people from being disliked. ”

Wang Yin'er stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "The queen mother's intentions, the slave maid is really inferior." ”

Empress Dowager Dou patted her hand and said: "What is not enough, the mind is used a lot, it is not necessarily good, it is better to accompany the mourning family to play a game of chess." ”

"That slave can't get down to you, you're a national hand."

"Hehe, that's okay, otherwise, I'm an old immortal, do something! Hahaha! Empress Dowager Dou's clear laughter echoed in the empty hall, looking very flamboyant and empty.

Tonight, Liu Zhao stayed in the Chengfu Hall again, the hall was exceptionally quiet, the bright yellow flowing clouds and hundreds of bats were like flowing water quietly winding underground, and a small world was caged, and the yin glass lay on Liu Zhao's shoulder and gasped slightly.

"Your Majesty, Ming'er is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and the concubines have made a show for the Queen Mother, so that the Queen Mother is also happy!"

"You have a heart, Li'er, the Queen Mother is not in good health, and the burden of supporting the harem alone is also very heavy, and you can still prepare such a show, which shows that you are also filial piety to the Queen Mother!" He kissed Li'er's little hand that climbed up to his chest.

"Your Majesty, why don't you have a child's affection, this is what a concubine should do, but the concubine is also selfish in doing this, I hope that the emperor will look at Li'er a few more times, and come to Li'er's Chengfu Hall a few more times, and I will be content." She flipped over, lay on Liu Zhao's arm, and laughed quietly.

"Oh? It turns out that Li'er's little selfishness is that I don't stay with you every day? Then I will hurt Li'er so much! As he spoke, he hugged her under him and kissed the two cherry lips.

Yin Li blushed, gently pushed Liu Zhao away and said, "Your Majesty, Li'er is talking to you about business." Did you go to Song Cainu of the Penitent Palace again? ”

Liu Zhao pushed her away slightly, and said with a straight face: "What, where do I go, do you still need nobles to care about every day?" ”

Yin Li's heart was slightly cold, and she couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved, "When the emperor said this, he really underestimated the concubines." Could it be that the concubine has been in bed with the emperor for so many years, and which concubine will eat that dry vinegar for no reason for the emperor to pamper him? The concubines just thought that they were ashamed, the emperor had gone up a lot, what was the meaning of the word ashamed? Song Cainu has an heir, naturally she is favored, Song Cainu is gentle and considerate, and she deserves the emperor's favor, but the emperor has to change those two words, the pear blossoms of the Pear Flower Pavilion are about to bloom, why don't the emperor change the name back, so that Song Cainu will also be promoted to the palace! ”

Liu Zhao took her hand and said: "Li'er is really thoughtful, I will ask the Queen Mother to issue an order tomorrow, the prince Liu Sheng has been sick all these days, and she is pitiful enough." ”

Yin Li breathed a sigh of relief at this time, stretched out her hand to hug Liu Zhao's body, and put her face next to his face, "Your Majesty, although I don't have much contact with Song Guiren, I have always pitied her, so I treat her better, Your Majesty, I won't blame the concubine!" ”

Liu Zhao stroked her soft hair, "God is pitiful, I like you for this, you are kind-hearted, unlike those people, who will always step on a foot when people are in trouble." I heard that when she was suffering in Tonggong, you often asked Lian'er to visit her, which is not forgetting your duty. When she arrived at the Repentance Palace, you were the first to see her, which is also not forgetting the roots. I also know that Liu Qing, the king of Qinghe, came to ask me to be promoted to the official of Song Jun's father and brother, which is also your favor, which is even more commendable, so I miss this very much in my heart. Li'er, Shan, is the real mother of a country, you can do it, I will turn eighteen next year, and I will canonize you as the queen and take charge of the harem. ”

Yin Li felt a burst of ecstasy in her heart, and she almost laughed out loud, but she knew that she still had to pretend to be good at the moment and did enough work, so she whispered: "Your Majesty, the concubines are not far away, the experience of these days is still the help of the queen mother and the emperor, otherwise how can the concubines assist in the harem?" ”

Faintly heard the two watches, the candle flame on the crane branch copper candlestick outside the tent flickered slightly, reflecting the flickering curtain, trembling like water waves, bright and uncertain. Liu Zhao's face was a little uncertain, and his smile was as faint as a thin floating cloud in the sky. "Li'er, I like you more and more, come and let me kiss you!"

The hibiscus tent is warm, the spring is strong, and a bright candle flower burst out on the candle flame, Liu Zhao said in a low voice: "Li'er, it's two watches, go to sleep, your intentions, I understand, and I understand, you are my favorite woman, and I won't lose you." ”

Yin Li stopped talking, there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, she would sleep very sweetly tonight, the first step she had to do was already steadily moving forward, so what about the second step, she thought about it, and fell asleep. (To be continued)
