"Outside the Imperial City Gate that day, I watched, if I hadn't seen Mrs. Guo standing outside the Imperial City Gate, how could Master Lou open the city gate and surrender so quickly?"

Zhao Duanning once again felt that the lady in this building was too ignorant.

Isn't the relationship between Lou Yun and her husband and wife very good?

He knew very well that Lou Yun later rushed to Chengdu Mansion, not to find out who was the first to remove the rebel for Zhao Kuo, but to pick up his wife.

"Official."

Ji Qingchen felt that he had changed the topic along the way, but he didn't feel safe anymore.

Zhao Duanning knew that Lou Yun and her husband and wife had a good relationship, so he coldly watched the queen's family send the concubine over.

He wanted to see how Lou Yun reacted.

"The official family, the concubines really don't know about the private workshops in the southwest, but the concubines think that if Vice Minister Wang wants to set up a workshop in the southwest, it must be for the ordnance reception during the Northern Expedition. He didn't need to hide it from His Majesty at all. ”

She procrastinated, and finally understood one thing, which was the same as she thought in her heart, Wang Shiqiang set up a private workshop, of course, to keep a hand.

The southwest area is far away in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and it has always been easy to cut off the drama.

Wang Shiqiang didn't have to rebel, but he went to sea to do business at the age of fourteen, and entered the officialdom in his twenties.

If the court wants to summon him back to be idle, he will never agree.

"The concubine thought that if Vice Minister Wang wanted to set up a workshop, he would definitely play His Majesty. The concubines really don't know about the southwest. ”

When Zhao Duanning heard this, his face finally softened.

Ji Qingchen also knew that she was right.

She procrastinated, but finally understood something. Wang Shiqiang knew the news that An Bing wrote to her, did he just wait?

If she were Wang Shiqiang. will soon make a foundation in front of the official family, otherwise how could he go to the southwest so assured?

The official family did not suspect Wang Shiqiang at all.

"Mrs. Guo has worked hard. It's rare to enter the palace once. Let's go to the North Garden and talk to the imperial sister-in-law. ”

Zhao Duanning waved his hand and asked her to retreat.

She stepped on the Jinlang in a cold sweat, and arrived at the Cuizhai Hall where Queen Xie lived, this imperial sister-in-law was quite courteous in the palace, and Ji Qingchen did not need to worry.

Hearing her say what happened to Her Majesty, Empress Xie laughed and said:

"The only thing the official suspects is Lou Xianggong. He's trying to test whether you're in touch with the magistrate in the southwest. ”

Empress Xie sipped her tea and smiled slightly,

"Last time, the king's deputy envoy was wounded by an arrow outside the Dasan Pass. There have always been rumors that there are thieves. ”

“……”

Ji Qingchen knew that Lou Yun had come to this scene and taught Wang Shiqiang a lesson that he was happy.

but it will be doubtful.

The official family suspected that someone in the southwest magistrate had secretly communicated with Lou Yun and sold Wang Shiqiang's whereabouts to the Jin people.

Wang Shiqiang: That is the mastermind of Zhao Duanning's rebellion against the throne.

"Queen Quan, if you don't want to let her clan daughter enter the mansion, you can drag it. But you should always go to the queen to say hello. The official family is not as fond of traveling in the harem as the emperor, and the Xiu Wangfu used to be jealous of the emperor and always handled things in peace. Queen Quan's thoughts are not too deep. It's good that you respect her. ”

After Empress Xie's guidance, Ji Qingchen reflected all the way that he had been to Kunning Palace too little recently, and he was not respectful enough to the queen.

The question is. She used to run to the queen's palace every day, that was because the official family favored Lou Yun, and she helped Queen Xie take the phoenix seal.

What is she going to do now?

While thinking so, she went to the queen's palace to report for duty. I plan to pat myself on the back in front of the queen before leaving the palace.

When she entered the temple, she understood, no wonder she should come often.

The official family is also there.

Outside the hall, she saw the eunuchs beside the official family, and she had already adjusted her sincere and frightened expression. Zhao Duanning really smiled when he saw her come in.

She immediately confessed the reason why she didn't come often, and said with a smile:

"The concubine has long heard that the official family has a deep relationship with the queen Hang Li. often come to the queen's palace for imperial meals, so the concubines dare not be rude as usual. Today, I disturbed the official family and the mother again. ”

Zhao Duanning laughed. The queen also showed joy on her face, and accepted all the subtle sycophants.

The first emperor Zhao Kuogang liked Jia Guifei when he first became queen, and later he doted on Yan Concubine.

Although he trusted Empress Xie, and before his death, he told her to let her often enter the palace to accompany the queen, but only three or four of the ten days out of ten days when he was alive would be in the queen's palace.

And Zhao Duanning has no favorite concubines in the palace, basically reporting to his wife every day like in Xiuwang's Mansion.

If you want to talk about the moderation of women, Zhao Duanning is above the emperor.

"The imperial sister-in-law loves Mrs. Chongguo, and Mrs. and the official family are also friends in adversity, Mrs. should treat this Kunning Palace as before, and often come to talk to the palace."

Ji Qingchen was given to sit, and she hurriedly allocated which courtyard in the building was used to welcome her relatives, how the courtyard was planned to be decorated now, and what specifications of tile roofs, eaves overhangs, pillar colors, and all kinds of utensils and utensils in the house were used in the new house.

She spoke clearly, plus her mouth was dry.

Queen Quan has not experienced any vicious battles for favor, but her background is not high, so she naturally plans for her husband everywhere.

She knew that Lou Yun was an old minister of King Chen's family, and she often made Zhao Duanning sleep badly, so she secretly encouraged her distant relatives to want to join the Lou Bachelor's Mansion.

"That kid has seen it with his own eyes. I'm only fifteen years old this year. ”

She said softly, trying her best to appease the still interesting Mrs. Guo,

"Ben is also from a small family, and he has no talent for poetry and books. The posture is three or four points. I want to come to Lou Xianggong to be busy, and I won't have time to take a few more looks. According to the palace, she only has the advantage of knowing how to advance and retreat. can help Mrs. Guo do some chores. I also asked Mrs. Guo to look at the face of the palace and teach this child.

Zhao Duanning was listening to it on the side, how could Ji Qingchen not be respectful.

"The concubines don't dare, the whole lady enters the house, and the concubines should treat each other as sisters. There are many affairs in the house, and the concubines are also about to have a helper to take care of the family affairs and wait for the minister. Moreover, the grandson also wants to be closer to his mother's family. ”

Queen Quan turned her head in satisfaction, and smiled at her husband again:

"The official family, the day before yesterday, Vice Prime Minister Wang's wife stayed here in the palace for dinner, and I told the official family that day and asked the official family to avoid it. Mrs. Guo is different from the old friendship of our family, so let's leave her here to eat today. ”

Zhao Duanning saw her jealous and wanted to leave, and inevitably felt that she was pitiful, so he nodded when he listened.

When Ji Qingchen was favored before, he hadn't eaten with Zhao Kuo and his wife, so he felt that something was wrong.

Queen Quan said again:

"Go and ask the prince over there, is there any food available?"

The five-year-old little prince also came to eat, and Ji Qingchen relaxed.

There is no need to just face the emperor and his wife, she can't get nervous anymore after eating too much in the queen's palace.

She sat at the bottom of the long table and watched as the little prince sat above the left head.

Maybe it's because he hasn't fully gotten used to life in the palace, and this child often thinks that his adoptive mother is blind, so he stretches out his chopsticks to the emperor's bowl.

Although Zhao Duanning reproached two sentences, he also smiled.

Although Queen Quan is not as atmospheric as Queen Xie, she also has her own exquisite thoughts.

"Lady of the County!"

After eating, the prince finally recognized Ji Qingchen.

He remembered that his mother had hugged him and told him that his father had come back thanks to Mrs. County.

Zhao Duanning liked this only son very much, so he didn't let the palace ladies speak, and taught him personally:

"It's time to be called Mrs. Guo.

He smiled at Empress Quan again:

"The woman over there at home, don't be busy for the time being, and I will tell him in person when Master Lou comes back."

"Yes, official."

Ji Qingchen listened below, knowing that this was Zhao Duanning letting her go.

……

She finally returned home, and Lao Siniang listened to her talk about these things, and couldn't help but wonder:

"Since Madame didn't ask the official family for the matter of the concubine, why didn't she mention the matter of the royal driver's personal conquest? I heard that Chen Shanchang is not the only one who mentions this now. Madame also went to persuade a word......"

"How can I persuade?"

She rubbed her forehead, shook her head and sighed,

"Shan Chang Chen can tell the official family that it would be good for him to go with him. Can I still go with the officials? I went to Taicang the day before yesterday, and it was already a bit risky, so I came back on the same day. The ship of the Imperial City Division followed. Don't you know that too? ”

Lao Siniang couldn't help but be silent.

Lou Yun is in charge of the army outside, and of course her wife can't leave the capital.

The Imperial City Division has been monitoring the Mansion all the time. Prevent her from escaping the capital. (To be continued......)
