"Concubine Li was not idle last night, according to the Flying Eagle report, at dawn I saw Concubine Li intercepting the queen's people behind the rockery, hehe, my women are not simple."

The man's words were full of three points of self-deprecation, three points of helplessness, and three points of desolation.

Li Liancheng drippeds of sweat on his forehead, and looked at his master with some sympathetic eyes, alas, everyone wants to be an emperor, but it is not easy to know that the emperor is not easy.

"It's because I didn't do a good job, so that she had to plan for the future in the middle of the night while she was pregnant with a child." The next moment, Xuan Lonely's tone was full of apology.

Li Liancheng breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly picked up the conversation and said: "Yes, Concubine Li is not easy, the two children were not saved before, and they have been in danger many times, so they have to come this time." ”

"How many days is it?"

Xuan Shili stared at the candle flame and suddenly asked.

"It's the fourth watch, do you want to squint for a while, Your Majesty?" The master was called by the Queen Mother in the middle of the night, and later he had been waiting for news in the study, and Li Liancheng was a little worried about his body.

The man shook his head: "That's it, I'll read the book until the dawn, and light up the candle flame a little." ”

Li Liancheng didn't say much, stepped forward to cut the cloud candle wick with the silver twister, and the flame was pinched, and the room suddenly brightened up a lot.

At this time, the candle flame of Guan Sui Palace has also been lit.

"Why does the emperor want to kill people?" After listening to Feixue's report, Dou Lianyi really couldn't figure it out, why did the man help her cover it up when he knew that the queen had directed and acted in this witchcraft drama?

Feixue shook her head: "My subordinates don't understand. What's more, she doesn't need to understand that the duty of the hidden guard is only to protect the master and complete the tasks assigned by the master, and it has nothing to do with herself as for analyzing and formulating countermeasures.

Dou Lianyi waved her hand back to the snow, and she had to be alone and quiet and take a good look at her head.

When the first rays of sunlight penetrated the clouds, she still couldn't guess his thoughts, and she couldn't hold back any longer, so she freshened up and hastily ate breakfast, and then drove to the Hall of Pleasant Heart.

When I arrived there, I learned that the emperor had not yet left the early dynasty, and Dou Lianyi immediately decided to go to the Qinzheng Palace to pick up the driver.

Outside the Qinzheng Palace, Li Liancheng saw a soft sedan chair with a violet canopy slowly coming to this side from a distance, and his eyelids couldn't help jumping, this is the place where the emperor discusses politics, and the concubine has rarely set foot in it, what's wrong with it today?

Strange and strange, he still strode up to meet him, hit a thousand children at the gorgeous palace maid on the sedan chair, and asked with a smile: "Concubine Li, what happened?" ”

"If you have nothing to do, you can't go to the Three Treasures Palace?" Dou Lianyi also felt that he had come a little abruptly, no wonder his personal chief eunuch had this question, and hurriedly said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "This palace has never seen the emperor in charge of government, and suddenly I came over with some curiosity, forget it, this palace should go back." ”

Li Liancheng hurriedly said: "Don't, since you're here, the slave will go and quietly tell you, and it's not too late to ask the emperor to make a decision, but I have to wait for a while." ”

"It's okay, bother Father-in-law Li to make a trip." Not to mention, she really wanted to see what he looked like in the court, so she immediately said politely.

bluffed Li Liancheng and said that he didn't dare to do so, so he turned around sharply and asked for instructions.

After a while, he went and returned, and his face smiled like autumn chrysanthemum petals blooming together: "The emperor said that since Concubine Li is curious, she naturally has to satisfy your curiosity, please come with the slave." ”

The Qinzheng Hall is the place where the emperor and the ministers discuss politics, and it is mainly composed of three parts, the main hall and the left and right side halls.

The main hall hangs a large plaque with gold characters on the bottom of the pearl, and the three golden characters of "Qinzheng Palace" are written on it, and the courtiers step through the high gate and enter the main hall every day from here to discuss matters, and the harem concubines are not allowed to enter and exit according to the rules.

Under the guidance of Li Liancheng, Dou Lianyi entered the left side hall from the side door, which is the place where the emperor went up to the main hall to rest and accept the worship of the deacons and officials.

The gold bricks in the hall are paved, the six ceiling beams are painted beautifully, and the decoration and furnishings of the hall are full of red color, showing the grandeur of the royal rich hall everywhere.

"Concubine Li, you sit and wait for a while, and the slave hall will be guarded."

She bowed her head slightly, stepped back from Li Liancheng, and quietly walked to the carved lintel leading to the main hall, poking her head out curiously.

But I saw that four wooden pillars were surrounded by pink and gold lacquer, and the ceiling hung with delicate dragon caissons, and on the gold brick floor, the red carpet with a width of about a zhang in the middle was laid from the temple gate to the front of the gold lacquer carved dragon throne.

The man was dressed in a bright yellow embroidered five-clawed golden dragon nine-chapter dragon robe, sitting upright on the throne, and the ministers below were separated on both sides, with an indescribable solemn atmosphere.

"The household department successfully collected taxes this time, and vigorously rectified the salt market, and now the treasury is abundant, and Yue Aiqing has contributed a lot." After Xuan Lonely looked around for a week, his gaze fell on Hubu Shangshu Yue Huaishan.

Yuehuai Mountain came out to thank him: "The ministers are afraid, and it is the duty of the ministers to enrich the treasury, and they dare not take credit." ”

Dou Lianyi suddenly understood why he wanted to "shield" the queen, the former dynasty and the harem have always been closely related, Lord Yue has made great contributions to the emperor's fundraising, the emperor can't do without him for a day, and it is impossible to move the queen for a day.

"Well, Yue Aiqing has this mind, I am pleased." I only heard Xuan Silence leave the praise, it seems that today's morning dynasty has come to an end, and his subsequent tone has the meaning of retreating from the dynasty: "Do the ministers still have a report?" ”

One person came out of the queue and said loudly: "The minister has something to do." ”

Dou Lianyi's eyebrows skipped a beat when he heard this, usually, most of the courtiers were related to criticizing the government or impeaching officials, and the imperial history was the official who was responsible for supervising the dereliction of duty and illegal behavior of the court and princes.

"Xiao Yushi, let's hear it." The man sitting on the throne of the golden lacquer carved dragon, holding the armrest of the coiled dragon with one hand and the pearl with the other, his demeanor was majestic and his voice was cold, exuding the innate kingly spirit to the fullest.

Lord Xiao solemnly opened his lips: "Some ministers have discussed privately, and I have bumped into the emperor and the maidservants playing with crickets in the side hall several times, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Ahem.

Xuan Lili coughed a few times, and his face showed embarrassment.

"The emperor has always been diligent in government and loves the people, so there is a grand event of my Xuanyue Dynasty today; After hearing about this, Weichen was deeply afraid that the emperor's plaything would lose his mind, so that he would mislead the country and the people. Lord Xiao made a generous statement, and his heart of worrying about the monarch and the country and the people can be learned.

Dou Lianyi nodded frequently when he heard it, and boldly admonished directly, this is what a loyal minister does.

"I know, the ministers have something to play, nothing to do......"

"Your Majesty, the minister begs to expel this bewildered monarch's daughter from the palace and clear the monarch's side." Xuan Xiaoli was about to announce his retirement from the dynasty, but he didn't want Lord Xiao to kneel on the ground, so he insisted on leaving.

Xuan Lili didn't think so, and said impatiently: "Isn't it just that you've fought a few crickets, as for you being alarmist here?" Okay, I promise you not to fight anymore. ”

Dou Lianyi didn't have a taste in his heart, and it could be seen that he was still a little reluctant to his sister.

Chirp...... Chirp......

Suddenly, there were two sounds, which made her eyebrows shrug, and it turned out that what the ministers said was not false.

Dou Lianyi turned around, listened attentively, the sound seemed to come from the direction of the Western table clock of the Golden Elephant Camel Tower, ran over and looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the bell door.

When she opened it, she saw that there was really a small round bamboo tube with a diameter of an inch in it, and there were more than a dozen small holes for venting on the lid of the tube, and she naturally recognized this as her sister's baby at a glance.

The brows couldn't help frowning, my sister is too ignorant, it is just that this thing appears in other places, this is the most sacred place in the entire Xuanyue Dynasty.

And him, it's okay if his sister is not sensible, doesn't he understand?

is so absurd, no wonder it provoked criticism from courtiers.

"Your Majesty, this woman can bewitch the emperor today, and tomorrow she can bring disaster to the country and the people, and she can't stay." In the main hall, Lord Xiao is still admonishing reasonably.

"That's enough, stop this matter and retreat."

It's not good, Xuan Lianli was annoyed and ashamed, Dou Lianyi didn't have time to think deeply, grabbed the bamboo tube and ran to the door, hesitated, resolutely opened the lid, and two living creatures jumped out of it, screaming and jumping into the main hall.

"Ah, what's that?"

"Oh my God, the crickets actually ran to the court."

"Catch them."

…….

The pot suddenly exploded outside, and the ministers became angry.

"Your Majesty, this cricket is really unheard of, if it spreads, I'm afraid it will become a joke."

"Your Majesty, Lord Xiao is right, this woman must not stay."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's ......"

Sister, don't blame my sister for doing this, my sister really doesn't want to see the scene of fratricide happen to us, Dou Lianyi apologized, and put the bamboo tube on the ground, wanting to create the illusion that someone accidentally knocked it down.

But at the moment when she stopped, the jade wrist was suddenly caught, and then there was an angry voice: "My good sister, is this how you take care of your sister?" ”

"Loosen." Dou Lianyi slowly straightened his waist, calmly met the girl's angry eyes, and an even more angry voice shook the Qinzheng Hall at this time: "Shut up for me, who dares to mention the matter of taking this woman away again, I took off his black veil." ”

Dou was stunned for a moment, then smiled proudly, let go of her and pushed her at the same time, and said arrogantly: "If you want to drive me away, you have to ask the emperor if he agrees." ”

Dou Lianyi staggered back a few steps to stabilize his figure, both shocked and suspicious in his heart, in his memory, he had dismissed the Manchu Dynasty official for himself; Now, he threatened to take off the black veil of his courtiers for another woman.

The world is changing, and it's really unpredictable.

At the door, a majestic figure strode in angrily.

"Your Majesty, it's her, it's Concubine Li who wants to drive the slaves away, and deliberately puts the crickets into the main hall." Dou Wuxi's eyes were sharp, and she ran to meet the young and handsome Ninety-Five Supreme, and took the lead in suing.

Dou Lianyi, who was still immersed in surprise and sadness, turned around consciously and saluted the man: "The concubine asks the emperor for peace, long live the emperor, long live long live." ”

"You go down first."

Xuan Lili glanced at the disdainful girl, and then his eyes turned, and the anger on his face when he entered the door miraculously disappeared.
