Gu Jinzhi didn't want to deal with the palace concubines.

It's not that they're afraid that they have nothing to do all day long, thinking about calculating others, but in this palace, the queen mother is temporarily in charge of the six palaces, and there is no owner in the middle palace. Before the queen decided, these women were a little cautious in their actions.

Gu Jinzhi didn't have the mind to take advantage of others, and he didn't like to be used by others.

A quiet and peaceful life is what she wants.

So she rejected Tan Guifei with a smile: "The concubine has a ruddy complexion, a healthy spirit, no minor illnesses, and a relaxed heart, and a light diet." I wish the mother a blessed life. ”

The Queen Mother laughed and beckoned Gu Jinzhi to sit back.

She took Gu Jinzhi's hand affectionately and said to Tan Guifei: "A good person, how can you expect yourself to be uncomfortable?" must be lazy again, and want to pretend to be sick. ”

Tan Guifei hurriedly laughed and said, "The Queen Mother tortures the concubines!" The concubines didn't dare, but in the past few days, they were indeed a little unhappy. I'm afraid that it will change in winter and spring, and it will be a little uncomfortable. ”

"It's good to rest and recuperate." The Queen Mother smiled, "You look at the mourning family, isn't it a little uncomfortable?" You don't need to take medicine, you children can't stand it. ”

Tan Guifei hurriedly said yes.

Gu Jinzhi didn't want to show himself in front of the concubines, Tan Guifei, Concubine Zhang, and the emperor all saw it.

Concubine Zhang also wanted to have fun, and Empress Dowager Bo laughed. Now that Tan Guifei was also blocked, she didn't dare to speak, she stood quietly aside, and looked at Gu Jinzhi with a pair of beautiful eyes.

Dowager...... I like the future Princess Luyang very much, and I did not hesitate to refute Tan Guifei's words for her.

Tan Guifei looked at it in her eyes, but she was afraid that she would not be angry, but she wanted to slap Gu Jinzhi even more, right?

Now in this palace, except for the first queen, the queen mother does not favor any concubine, she can get the love of her old man, and the future battle for the throne. It added a lot of chips.

Concubine Zhang's heart also moved slightly.

The emperor also glanced at Gu Jin, and then at King Luyang, who was sitting next to the Queen Mother, with a simple face.

His gaze fell on King Luyang for a moment.

The Queen Mother's heart was a little cold.

The emperor's filial piety is true, but the suspicion is better every day.

It seems that every emperor is like this.

She yawned.

When Gu Jinzhi saw it, he got up, took the words of King Luyang, and the two saluted the Queen Mother and said goodbye.

The Queen Mother did not keep them.

Coming out of Kunning Palace, King Luyang pouted. Some unhappy said: "The queen mother said that quail soup was made in the palace." Xiao Qi, I want to eat quail soup. ”

"Go to my house. I'll do it for you, okay? "Gu Jin's way.

She felt that even if King Luyang was a fool, it would be better to enter the palace less. The emperor can't see, he can't see it, he can't bother.

"Will you do it too?" King Luyang was a little skeptical. Cautiously asked.

Gu Jinzhi sneered.

She nodded affirmatively.

King Luyang also smiled, his eyes narrowed into a slit, turned around and took her hand, and walked out quickly: "Go back and eat quail soup." Xiao Qi, I'm already hungry, do you have pastries with you......"

The two of them spoke in a group. The group went out of the palace gate.

Aunt Cheng still sent them to the gate of the palace, and said to Gu Jin: "The prince will entrust it to you, and serve the prince with all your heart." Don't worry about the Queen Mother. ”

Gu Jin's way is.

King Luyang and Gu Jin left, and Concubine Tan and Concubine Zhang also left.

The emperor stayed alone to greet the body of the Queen Mother.

“…… I heard from the palace people that you have been lazy to eat and talk for the past two days. I was very worried, and I thought about inviting Jinzhi into the palace to take a look. "The emperor sat opposite the Queen Mother. Mother and son talked heart-to-heart, "I don't think about it, they are also filial." Did you get a prescription? ”

"There is no prescription." The Queen Mother smiled, "She said it's okay." It's common to be a little lazy at this time, and you don't need to take medicine. The medicine she sent in last time was also useful every once in a while, moisturizing the lungs and nourishing, and coughing would not happen again. The emperor doesn't need to worry about the mourning family. ”

The emperor's face softened a little, and he looked relieved.

The Queen Mother asked him again that there had been difficulties in the DPRK and China recently.

“…… It snowed in the north last year, and the herdsmen's cattle, sheep and horses froze to death, and the Tatars were afraid that they would loot again. The emperor said, "When the spring warms up, the south is either plague or flood, or drought, and I am also concerned." This is constant from year to year. In Beijing, it is nothing more than the official who wrote the book, set up the East Palace and the Middle Palace early, and stabilized the dynasty. ”

The Queen Mother listened and bowed slightly.

For major events in the imperial court, there are courtiers who plan for the emperor.

can set up the queen and the crown prince, and they need the help of the queen mother.

In the emperor's palace, there were only five people.

The concubines are the first-class concubine Tan and the second-grade concubine Zhang.

Zhang's maiden family is a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the power of the DPRK and China is weak; The Tan family's maiden family is prominent, and the protégés of the old man of the Tan family are all over the government and the opposition.

It's already clear who to choose.

"It's always noisy." The Queen Mother sighed, "Since the first queen began to clamore for the establishment of the Middle Palace, the mourning family listened to the emperor's relay, and her ears were calloused, not to mention the emperor?" Concubine Zhang also deserves ......"

The Queen Mother values Concubine Zhang.

The Emperor was silent for a moment.

The queen mother is used to being cautious, and has always refused to make her attitude clear, lest the emperor think that her mother is interfering in politics.

“…… The Tan family will not give up. The emperor said, "Then it will be another commotion." ”

"In that case, why don't you make a prince first?" The Queen Mother said, "The eldest prince was born by the first queen, doesn't the Tan family just want a foreign family?" After setting up the crown prince and then appointing Concubine Zhang as the queen, do they still have something to say? If the crown prince is established and Tan Guifei is set up as the queen, what will the emperor use to suppress the Tan family in the future? ”

Empress Xian and Concubine Tan Guifei are twin sisters, both daughters of the Tan family.

What the Queen Mother said was exactly what the emperor wanted.

He smiled and nodded.

"When I saw my mother, I liked Concubine Tan very much, and I thought it was ......" The emperor smiled again.

The Queen Mother also smiled and said, "Tan Guifei is cute." She entered the prince's mansion at the age of thirteen and served the emperor with her twin sisters. Then, my sister is the crown princess, and she is Liangdi. My sister gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, and she didn't come out for a few years; My sister is the queen, she is the concubine, she is inferior, but she is quiet, and there is nothing in the palace that Tan Guifei made trouble. Such a heart. How could the mourning family not like her? ”

When the emperor heard this, the corners of his lips secretly sneered.

Tan Guifei is indeed "virtuous......

Even a smart and wise person like the Queen Mother thinks she is ......

Fortunately, the Queen Mother is wise and can understand the major affairs of the court, otherwise she opened her mouth to say for Tan Guifei, and if she wanted to make her the queen, would the emperor still be able to openly refute it?

When the time comes, no matter how much pressure the Tan family puts on, the emperor will be able to compromise.

As for the clever and "virtuous and not jealous" woman, the emperor thought it was funny.

Tan Guifei. is probably the most calm and quiet among the emperor's concubines.

“…… The mourning family has been in this deep palace for more than 20 years, what kind of characters have not been seen? Man lives in this world. Always ask for something. The Queen Mother continued, "Some people seek fame, and some people seek profit. Those who don't seek fame and fortune are either extremely thoughtful, or they have experienced all the things in the world.

What about Tan Guifei. He is not the one who sees through the world. If she becomes a queen, I am afraid that her former likable character will be put away and exposed. The mourners don't want to see her color. She is just like now, she is under the people, and she will be gentle and quiet. There is no quarrel with the world, and the mourning family likes it the most. ”

The Emperor laughed.

It turned out that the Queen Mother saw it as profoundly as he did.

Her old man's "like" means this.

The emperor's heart was relaxed.

The thoughts of the Queen Mother. In agreement with him, he is more sure of himself and acts more confidently.

For many years, the Queen Mother has always been like this, silently standing on the emperor's side. Consider his circumstances in everything. Knowing that the emperor didn't really feel sorry for King Luyang, the Queen Mother would rather not see it.

The same is a mother and son. There are always times when the mother is biased.

Thinking about it seriously, the queen mother's heart should be biased towards the emperor, right?

"What the queen mother said is very true, and I have taken it to heart." The emperor said.

The Queen Mother bowed slightly.

After thinking about it, the emperor said again: "There is one more thing. The princess sent me a note of Chen, saying that Annan rebelled, and the Hu father and son usurped the throne of Chen. A few days ago, I was still talking about Shoufu saying that in March this year, why hasn't the tribute from Annan been sent yet. It seems that something has happened. I also met with a man who called himself King Yu of Annam......"

"Is there such a thing?" The Queen Mother frowned, "Usurping the throne and seeking the country is a big crime!" ”

"I believe him, but I'm not sure." The emperor also said, "The matter is very important, and the cabinet elders have different opinions. ”

The Queen Mother nodded: "Be cautious." ”

The Emperor said yes.

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, the emperor got up to take his leave and went to the imperial study.

Several cabinet elders are still discussing the affairs of Annan, and the emperor wants to go back to hear the results.

Unexpectedly, on the fourth day of the third month, the envoy of Annan suddenly arrived in Beijing.

The person who came was Fengshu, claiming to be Chen's nephew. The former king Chen had no children and appointed his nephew Hu Shi as king.

But some people are not convinced, so they come to frame them.

There is no king of Yu in the root of Annam.

The kingdom of Annam was far to the south, and the emperor did not know the inside story.

There were arguments on both sides, and the emperor did not believe any of them.

He was going to send someone to Annan himself.

Gu Yantao is a very suitable person. When he came to the rule, the emperor made him a marquis under the pretext of his merit, and promoted him to be the next first assistant.

Chen Yuchao stayed in Beijing for the time being, waiting for the matter to be decided.

Hu's envoys also stayed.

Gu Jinzhi's family also heard that the uncle was going to envoy Annan after several days.

Song Paner listened and didn't say anything.

She didn't have a good impression of her uncle.

Gu Jinzhi thought that Chen Yuchao was safe for the time being. If he has another accident, it will prove that the Hu father and son are thieves.

As a result, the next day, I heard that Chen Yuchao had been assassinated, and his name was on the line.

The emperor was shocked and arrested all the envoys of the Hu family and his son in prison.

Qin Shensi hurriedly boarded the door of the Gu family: "Miss Seven, go and take a look." Chen Gongzi said that he didn't trust other doctors, and he was afraid of being bribed, so he just wanted you to see. ”

Gu Jinzhi's brows frowned slightly.

was assassinated by such a coincidence, did Chen Yuchao direct and act by himself, and then wanted people to help deal with the aftermath?
