Just as she was thinking like this, Huaying came in and said, "Qi Niangniang, Mama Song came to invite Niangniang to Qiankun Palace." ”

The Queen Mother came to invite herself again?

Liu Xuan frowned slightly, she already knew about Mama Song's encounter with Li Che that day, and she also knew that Li Che said to Mama Song that she had nothing to do, but after only a few days, Mama Song came to invite herself again, it seems that Empress Dowager Cao is really in trouble this time.

Although Li Che said that if he didn't want to go, he could not go, but the Empress Dowager Cao is the queen mother after all, and it is inappropriate for her not to greet her as a junior.

Thinking of this, Liu Xuan nodded: "Go and tell Mama Song, I'll be here right away." ”

Liu Xuan summoned the palace maid, changed into the clothes made of the concubine, and dressed neatly before going out.

Mama Song thought that she would have to wait for a long time today, but she never thought that after a while, Liu Xuan came out, and was slightly stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward after being stunned: "Niangniang, please come with the slave." ”

Liu Xuan nodded, only took Huaying with her, and then followed Mama Song to the Qiankun Palace.

When he came to the Qiankun Palace, looking at the high palace gate, and remembering the first time he came, he pretended to faint, Liu Xuan was a little emotional.

This time, no one asked her to wait outside the hall for the transmission, but led her directly into the main hall.

On the main hall, the Empress Dowager Cao was drinking tea, and Liu Xuan entered the hall to salute her: "The concubine has seen the Empress Dowager." ”

Empress Dowager Cao put down the teacup, looked at her and snorted coldly: "Your Majesty has never called the queen mother of the mourning family." Why don't you even disdain to call the queen mother of the mourning family? ”

To tell the truth, Liu Xuan's mother really can't be called, in her mind, the person who deserves the word mother is someone like Liu's mother, she bowed her head and replied: "The concubine doesn't dare, it's just that the concubine has just entered the palace not long ago, and she is not very familiar with the rules in the palace, and His Majesty has never mentioned the concubine." ”

The implication of her words was that Li Che didn't let her shout like that, she didn't dare to shout like that.

One sentence put the responsibility on Li Che's head, anyway, Empress Dowager Cao would not reason with Li Che for such a thing.

Empress Dowager Cao was immediately angry when she heard this, and she pointed at Liu Xuan and was about to scream angrily. Mama Song on the side pulled her sleeve,

Empress Dowager Cao took a deep breath. suppressed the anger in his heart, and forced out a smile and said: "It's just a title, the mourning family doesn't care much, and someone is here to watch Liu Guifei." ”

Liu Xuan raised her eyebrows when she heard this. Today's Empress Dowager Cao is very different from the arrogant appearance of the past. Such a provocation of oneself. In the past, it was a scolding at best, and she was going to be killed, but now Empress Dowager Cao actually endured it. Not only that, but also give yourself a seat.

It seems that there is really a request for her.

Liu Xuan thanked him, sat down on the side, and then stopped talking.

Left and right, she has a request for herself, why should she send it forward.

When Empress Dowager Cao saw her sit down, she didn't ask what she called her to, and she was angry at the moment, but remembering the tearful letter she received this morning, she had to hide her anger, took a deep breath and said, "You have been in the palace for a few days, right?" ”

Liu Xuan nodded when she heard this: "It's been half a month since I returned to the Queen Mother." ”

"It's been half a month, and the days are not short." Empress Dowager Cao seemed to ask unintentionally: "The mourning family heard that you have seen other concubines in the harem since you entered the palace?" ”

Liu Xuan was not surprised at all that she knew, and immediately responded: "Back to the Queen Mother, I have indeed seen it." ”

Empress Dowager Cao coughed lightly and said: "Then do you know that there is another person in this harem who was grounded by His Majesty because of you, and now two years have passed, even if she behaved inappropriately that day, but the two-year grounding, this punishment is enough." ”

It turns out that today is for this.

Liu Xuan glanced at the Empress Dowager Cao quietly, and then bowed her head and said: "Shuyi was grounded by His Majesty, and the concubines have also heard of it, but this is Your Majesty's holy will, and the concubines dare not say anything. ”

didn't dare to say a word, and brushed herself off, Empress Dowager Cao almost had a fire burning in her heart when she heard this.

Obviously, it was because of her that Cao Fei was grounded, and the ban lasted for more than two years.

Empress Dowager Cao took a few deep breaths before she calmed herself down, she squeezed out a smile on her face, looked at Liu Xuan and said: "Having said that, but Your Majesty loves you very much, and everyone in the dynasty knows that Fei'er is always a member of the Cao family, and the two-year ban has lost the face of the Cao family. ”

To be honest, Liu Xuan was a little surprised, she never thought that the Empress Dowager Cao would say something that owed her favors, she bowed her head slightly and said: "The Empress Dowager invited, the concubines had to obey, but Your Majesty has its own arrangements for everything in her heart, and the concubines cannot affect Your Majesty in the slightest." ”

"It doesn't matter." Empress Dowager Cao smiled and said, "As long as you are willing to mention it." ”

For Liu Xuan today, she understands Li Che's intentions very well, she doesn't care if she lets go of Cao Fei or not, but Li Che once said that Cao Fei will never appear in front of her again, even if this matter is mentioned, then Cao Fei may not be able to lift the grounding.

Moreover, she really couldn't bear to chat with Empress Dowager Cao here, she still had a lot of things to do, so she nodded and responded: "The concubine mentions it to Your Majesty." ”

Seeing her respond, Empress Dowager Cao immediately smiled, this smile was obviously different from the smile she had squeezed out before, she smiled and said: "That's good, you are all Your Majesty's concubines, but sisters, the harem is insufficient, you should help each other and serve Your Majesty together." ”

Help each other and serve together.

Such words made Liu Xuan a little uncomfortable, she didn't reply, only nodded slightly.

Empress Dowager Cao didn't want to talk more with Liu Xuan, now that today's goal had been achieved, she didn't say more, and only said to Liu Xuan: "If you have something, then retreat first." ”

When Liu Xuan heard this, she immediately got up and left.

After Liu Xuan left, Empress Dowager Cao's face immediately changed, and she snorted coldly: "A remarried woman actually wants to spoil the harem!" ”

Mama Song took a step forward and said beside her: "No, I must have learned some fox kung fu by myself." Fascinated His Majesty, when Miss Fei is ungrounded, see how many days she can live now? Miss Phil was His Majesty's favorite person. ”

Empress Dowager Cao nodded when she heard this, and she snorted coldly: "Speaking of which, Ying'er's girl is actually useless!" Not only did he never even get close to His Majesty's body, but he came to the mourning family and said don't embarrass that fox! Why do you say our Cao family is so useless! ”

Mama Song didn't dare to answer this, obviously Empress Dowager Cao didn't need Mama Song to answer, and after she finished speaking, she sighed again: "Now I can only count on Fei'er." ”

In the evening, Liu Xuan didn't tell Li Che about Cao Fei, but Li Che suddenly asked her what the Empress Dowager Cao called her today.

Liu Xuan thought about it and told the truth. She looked at Li Che and pouted, "The Queen Mother asked me to tell you that Shuyi's grounding was relieved." Then he told me that the harem sisters should help each other and serve you well. ”

Li Che's thin lips rose when he heard this, and he took her into his arms and chuckled, "Why did I smell a sour smell?" ”

In this regard, Liu Xuan generously admitted it. She nestled in his arms. The slender fingers poked at his chest. The voice was a little complaining: "After all, Shuyi is the one who has spent many days and nights with you, and it is common for me to feel a little unhappy in my heart, and I heard it when I was in Yizhou." Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not very concerned about women, he is very fond of Concubine Cao. ”

Li Che saw her complaining, touched her nose and seemed to be a little weak, he coughed lightly and said: "That was all before I met you, and besides, I doted on her only because she was the daughter of the Cao family." ”

Liu Xuan knew that what he said was reasonable, but she was still panicked in her heart: "After all, she is married to you, can you really bear to not let her out of the palace for the rest of your life?" ”

Li Che's eyebrows rose high, and he looked at Liu Xuan's eyes a little serious: "Xuan'er, if you ** and others, will you still return to me?" ”

Liu Xuan was stunned when she heard this, she looked at Li Che blankly, as if she didn't understand what he was talking about, and seemed to be surprised by his words.

Seeing her like this, Li Che's usually calm and deep eyes were a little flustered, and he hurriedly said, "I'm just making an analogy. ”

He held her tightly in his arms, as if he was worried that she would leave him like this, and he said in a dumb voice: "If I knew that there was a you in this world, if I knew that I would fall in love with you here, I would not touch other women, just waiting to meet you." ”

Liu Xuan slowly lowered her eyes in his arms, she was speechless for a while, until she heard Li Che's worried soft call, she smiled and said: "I am the same, even if my body is no longer innocent, as long as you don't mind, I will still be by your side, because I know that for you, it is the most important thing for you and me to stay and know each other in the future." ”

Li Che hugged her harder and harder when he heard this, and he responded in a dumb voice: "Xuan'er really knows my intentions very well. ”

Liu Xuan blinked, squeezed out a smile and said, "So, even if Your Majesty is not innocent, the concubine will not dislike you." ”

Li Che was amused by these words, he let go of her, put his hands on her shoulders and looked at her, let her see the smile on his face and eyes, he smeared the tip of her nose, and then said: "Should I say, thank you Xuan'er for not giving up?" ”

Liu Xuan pouted, with a look of grace: "It's good to know." ”

Her answer caused Li Che to burst into laughter, and Liu Xuan's face was also smiling, but she smiled and smiled, but her eyes faded.

Li Che seemed to be particularly pestering today, and he pestered Liu Xuan to ask her three times, each time for nearly an hour, and Liu Xuan fell asleep completely after three times.

On the second day, Liu Xuan couldn't get up at all, not that she didn't wake up, but that she didn't have the strength to get up at all, even if she raised her hand, she felt so tired that she couldn't do it.

Today is the day of Liu Cheng's envoy, although Liu Xuan has seen Liu Cheng's talent, but more or less there are still some worries in his heart, the general terms of this envoy have been negotiated, and it may not be possible to strive for more, it depends on how Liu Cheng negotiates.

Although Li Che never mentioned it, he dared to put a person like Liu Cheng without the slightest experience in such an important position, isn't this not a trust in Liu Cheng and a favor for her?

Since she couldn't get up, Liu Xuan didn't bother to toss herself, she just lay on the bed and rested, but it didn't take long for her to hear some noise outside.

Liu Xuan frowned and opened her mouth to call, "Someone." ”

Dongmei immediately walked in, and Liu Xuan asked, "What happened, why is it so noisy outside?" ”

Dongmei was a little speechless, and Liu Xuan glanced at her: "But it's okay to say it." ”

Hearing her say this, Dongmei had no choice but to tell the truth: "Earlier, Xiaozhu said that this morning he was angry with His Majesty and beheaded several ministers. ”

Liu Xuan frowned when she heard this, she couldn't know what kind of character Li Che was, even when she was angry, she didn't say that she would cut off someone's head casually, she immediately called Dongmei to help her up, and asked beside her, "What happened?" Why is Your Majesty so angry? ”

Dongmei helped her get up and dressed, and sighed long: "It is said that the drought in Shaanxi has started since the spring, and now there is no harvest in the autumn, and the officials in Shaanxi have concealed it and did not report it, not only that, but they also closed the city gate to prevent the displaced people from leaving the city, but the drought is getting more and more serious, and the displaced people have been forced to turn back." ”

"It's the other way around?!" Liu Xuan's eyes widened: "Is it really the opposite?" ”

"Hmm." Dongmei nodded: "But this is already a matter of March ago, after the displaced people rebelled, the governor of Shaanxi did not dare to report, the displaced people broke the gates of several cities, but they were almost unarmed, and after breaking the city, they scattered and fled, if it were not for the refugees who had fled to Beijing, I was afraid that His Majesty would still be kept in the dark." ”

No wonder Li Che was so angry, Liu Xuan frowned and asked, "Do you know who the governor of Shaanxi is?" ”

Dongmei replied: "The slave and maid know about this, when they were in the wolf group, the identities of officials of all over the country were also understood, and the young lady may not know, Shaanxi is the hometown of the Cao family, and most of the Cao family's foundation is in Shaanxi, and the governor of Shaanxi is the younger brother of Cao Taishi, named Cao Yiping." ”

Liu Xuan sighed in her heart, and she asked hurriedly, "Who is Your Majesty beheading?" ”

Dongmei sighed: "According to Xiaozhuzi, it was Cao Jin, the left envoy of the Inspectorate, and Cao Yi, the Minister of Finance. It is also said that the following holy decree was issued to arrest the governor and governor of Shaanxi and enter Beijing to ask for guilt. ”

When Liu Xuan heard this, he immediately asked, "Then the governor of Shaanxi is also a member of the Cao family?" ”

Dongmei nodded silently.

Liu Xuan closed her eyes quietly, I am afraid that the capital is about to change.

She opened her eyes and said hurriedly, "Hurry up, I'm going to see Your Majesty." ”

Liu Xuan put on her clothes, and after washing, she hurriedly walked out, Xiaozhuzi stood at the door and saw her come out, and hurriedly stopped her and said: "Niangniang, now Your Majesty is discussing matters in the imperial study, and it must be inappropriate for Niangniang to go at this time." ”

Liu Xuan glanced at the little pillar: "I know, I don't go in, I just wait outside the imperial study, you let people report it, Your Majesty is angry now, I am a little worried." ”

Xiao Zhuzi lowered his head and pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded: "It's okay, Your Majesty knows that Niangniang is waiting outside, he feels sorry for Niangniang, and his anger will definitely calm down a lot." (To be continued.) )
