A muffled thunder swept across the roof of the ruined temple, and the misty rain fell.

Dead silence spread inside and outside the temple, and everyone's silence seemed to be surprised by the same thing: the Imperial Scholar?

There has never been a title, this is to be given to this woman alone.

Does this mean that the Holy One wants to favor this woman?

Weird. If you really want to be favored, you can directly give a talented person into the palace, and then slowly promote it to a concubine, and then slowly promote it to the queen. It is true that even though Hua Xiyan is the daughter of the Hua family of the Bai Changguo Wang clan, with this identity, she can come to their Dongling, and she is inconspicuous compared to other women of the Wang clan who are full of halos, and it is very good to be able to give a talented person when she enters the palace.

Li Shunde thought: The more elusive the mind of the saint is. Let's take a look at the palace Xiangru, the brother of the palace queen, who should be the one who minds the saint to favor other women the most, what kind of attitude will be. But I saw that the palace was like a quiet and calm face, as always obedient, and the heart seemed to be deeper than the saint.

Since the rain was falling first, it was quiet, quiet to the temple, and only the sound of small wooden snoring remained. This snack who usually loves to touch his mother, somehow, there was such a big thing tonight, but he slept like a pig and died, without a sense of crisis.

In Hua Xiyan's eyes, her son was able to sleep like this tonight, to her surprise, the outstretched hand did not wake up her son.

Her calm face and lowered eyebrows suddenly changed from when she argued loudly with others just now. Similarly, in Li Shunde's view, when she is quiet, and when she shouts loudly, there is the same momentum, fierce, not inferior to the imperial family.

Li Zimo looked at her face, her eyes flashed, and she said to Gong Xiangru: "Gong Qing, hold the child." ”

"Obey." Gong Xiangru stepped forward, stretched out his hand, crossed Hua Xiyan's hand, and picked up the sleeping little Mumu.

The snack fell into his arms, just struggled for a while, did not move, as if he smelled a good smell on his body, and his little nose was still leaning towards him, I don't know if he was muttering in his sleep: "My mother smeared incense powder?" ”

Gong Xiangru pulled the corners of his lips, and heard a low laugh from Yifeng behind him, so he had to take his clothes, first help the child with a bag of bread, so as not to catch a cold, and then go out and take the child into the carriage.

Lucui was not awakened because of the fever. Li Shunde commanded two people and carried her out of the city. After the last, he faced Hua Xiyan and said, "Miss Yan, let's go." ”

Xiu raised her eyebrows slightly, but saw Long Yan who was nearby, but she was in a hurry to leave, as if she was waiting for her to reply.

Just now she thought carefully in her heart, she didn't know the origin of her son at all before, but now she has come up with an argument of the bloodline of the god clan, which makes sense, so that she is not surprised. I'm afraid, this man, perhaps, is her son's father? Even if he is not her son's father, according to his statement, her son may not be able to get rid of the Tanglin royal family.

Without finding out, she and her son could be in crisis at any time. Just think about it, wasn't the little prince Li Dongyu chased and killed by a group of people before?

Now, staying by this person's side, using this person's information to check carefully, and then making a plan, may be the best game of chess.

After thinking clearly, he turned around and kowtowed: "The people's woman thanks Lord Longen." ”

"Get up."

With a faint voice, there was some complexity in her voice, thinking that if she resisted, she could prove that she still had some loopholes, but now she suddenly obeyed again, it was completely a deliberate decision, and I don't know what kind of calculation she had in her heart.

His eyes tightened, as if to say: I am waiting for you to continue playing tricks.

The sound of clothes rubbing in his ears blew, and he was in a hurry, and he went outside, following the footsteps of a group of personnel.

Hua Xiyan knelt down and stood up, did not forget the silver taels that she had saved up with great difficulty, hid the money bag, and then walked out of the broken temple with Li Shunde. The oncoming rain splashed on her face, and she felt a trace of coolness.

The rain, which came in time, gave him another excuse to take her and her son away. Even God helped him.

Xiu frowned, and over there, Li Shunde opened chapter 062 for her.

Aunt Sun can only think that in fact, what Empress Dowager Hu hates is just competing with her for the first emperor and her son's palace family. Who made the palace family an official in the previous dynasty won the favor of the first emperor and the saint, and became a confidant of Longyan for two consecutive generations.

scolded the useless imperial doctors, and sent the boiled Chinese medicine over, and the Empress Dowager Hu was so sick that she could only drink this medicine that treated the symptoms but not the root cause with her eyes closed. After drinking the medicine, his mouth was bitter and unbearable, and a mouthful of brown soup spit into the spittoon again. Aunt Sun looked anxious, so she had to keep patting Empress Dowager Hu's back.

Empress Dowager Hu closed her eyes for a while, felt a little more refreshed, and grabbed her hand: "You said, tonight, is the emperor out of the palace?" ”

Under her gaze, Aunt Sun took her head in her mouth.

"What is he doing when he leaves the palace in the middle of the night?" Empress Dowager Hu's brows furrowed into a pimple.

"Queen Mother, the slave maid originally wanted to send someone to sneak into the Yongning Hall to have a look. However, you know that the Holy Lord is too guarded, and since the death of the Empress of the Palace, he has withdrawn the power to employ people in the Yongning Hall and the Guangyang Palace. Every newcomer who enters the living and sleeping halls of the Holy Lord and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must let the Holy Lord see it himself. ”

"This mourner knows it. For this there is no less to say about him. said that he just needs to take care of the front court. The affairs of the harem do not need to be bothered by him. He was good, he didn't have the mouth of the mourner, but he still decided what he wanted to do, and he did it. The mourning family didn't know how to say that he was good, but with his temperament, he was favored by the first emperor. Empress Dowager Hu spoke inconsistently.

Aunt Sun could only listen all the way and couldn't interject.

"That's it." Empress Dowager Hu said, "The mourning family just heard you mention that Gonggong Zhang, who served the crown prince, has been acting a little strangely recently. I have heard several ministers also mention it when they visited the mourning family, saying that the saint has been in a temper and seems to have something on his mind, so he asked you to pay attention to the movements in the lower palace. The saint went out in the middle of the night, but it was good to be back. ”

The Queen Mother's last sentence, Aunt Sun's eyes flashed, and her worries became more and more deep.

"A night of rain and dew is a common thing for emperors. The first emperor occasionally explained the boredom for the picture, and when the mourning family was old and decrepit, he also went out of the palace, and let people send people to the palace. The mourning family has never been put on their minds. What's more, the saint is a strong age, and the queen died early, and the mourning family has already asked him to re-establish the queen. It's just that not everyone can be a queen. ”

"That's what the Queen Mother said."

"Go ahead, the mourning family wants to take a nap."

Aunt Sun carefully helped her tuck the corners of the quilt, and then dared to retreat. After walking a few steps, she suddenly heard Empress Dowager Hu say behind her back: "Find someone to find out if the saint has taken the woman back to the palace." ”

"The slave is trying to get people to inquire."

"Do not alarm the holy. Maybe don't ask, you'll find out tomorrow. Empress Dowager Hu's low eyes were like lightning bolts.

Aunt Sun looked frightened.

Empress Dowager Hu hooked the corners of her lips again, overflowed with a soothing smile, and sighed: "He is my son after all." Back then, when he wanted to be the queen of the palace family, I didn't object to it. If other women fall for him, the mourners will also obey him. As long as he's doing well. ”

Aunt Sun was very nervous. If Li Zimo intends to re-establish the queen, if the queen mother obeys Li Zimo's wishes, what will become of this country and this court in the future.

"What are you thinking?"

Unconsciously, she was stunned, so that the Queen Mother didn't notice when she looked at her. Aunt Sun's palms were sweating, and she smiled busily: "Queen Mother, the slave maid has just come out of her mind, and she thought of what was happening on the ground if the palace queen knew what was happening on the ground underground." ”

"Also, it stands to reason that the Gong family, who should be the most nervous, has not seen a reaction." Empress Dowager Hu frowned deeply.

Gong Xiangru personally hugged Xiao Mumu and got out of the car and entered the furnished house. This is a room in the Hall of Eternal Peace. Li Shunde took people to put on new quilts, so that the snacks could sleep comfortably on it. Glancing at this child who can sleep like a pig anywhere, Li Shunde sighed in amazement: This child is really wonderful, and his adaptability is so good.

Even so, Gong Xiangru thought of what he had promised, and was worried that he would be sad if he couldn't see his mother when he got up from the snacks, so he decided to stay here for a night, so he said to Li Shunde: "Father-in-law Lao Li sent someone to the palace to inform my mother that I won't go back tonight." ”

"The miscellaneous family is going to send someone to the palace house." Li Shunde smiled and arched his hand to him, "Lord Gong has worked hard. ”

Seeing that he was leaving, Gong Xiangru wrung his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know where Miss Daoyan sleeps tonight?" ”

"It depends on how the Holy One arranges it." Li Shunde said softly.

Perhaps, Li Zimo, who has been lonely for many years, suddenly came to the scene tonight, and it is understandable that he wants a woman to serve on the dragon couch.

Hua Xiyan didn't think much about it. I and this dog emperor almost quarreled on the carriage just now, and I am afraid that staying together for one night may blow up the house.

Back in the palace, he served the emperor and got out of the carriage. Li Zimo walked into the bedroom in the Yongning Palace. A row of eunuchs and palace maids had been waiting for a long time, ready to serve him to bed.

Li Zimo saw her following, but stood at the door and didn't come in, and shouted, "Yan Shangshu, come in." ”

Hua Xiyan walked into the house a few steps, and she could see a palace maid holding clothes, which meant that he wanted to change his clothes, and his apricot eyes were round: Is he going to prepare to undress in front of her?

Someone who was about to go around the screen and let the eunuch wait to change his clothes, squinted his eyes just to catch a glimpse of her expression, and couldn't help but cross a narrow meaning in his black eyes, and said, "Yan Shangshu, don't you want you to serve me?" ”

Hua Xiyan pulled out her legs and wanted to leave.

His low chuckle accompanied by a little evil came: "They are all children's mothers, and they are not yellow flower girls." ”

The fist clawed at her hand, holding back.

A robe was thrown at her head at a low angle of ninety degrees: "Take the clothes for me." I'm going to wash and go back to sleep. ”

Hearing the sound of water, Hua Xiyan took off the robe covered on top of her head, and saw a large screen standing in the middle of the two rows of palace maids in front of her, and a figure could be vaguely seen behind the screen. She immediately turned her face.

"Yan Shangshu, didn't you finish reading to me in the carriage just now, and keep reading."

Take a bath, take a bath, and ask her to study. Toss does not toss people. Apricot eyes closed, recalling the words she had just read in the carriage, reciting them word by word. It's strange to think that such a difficult ancient text may be used well by the ancients to write rhymes, but she didn't feel any trouble memorizing it. It's just that I was halfway back, and I suddenly felt a strange atmosphere in the room. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the palace maids and eunuchs who had been hanging their heads all raised their eyes to look at her, and their faces were full of surprise.

Did she carry it wrong? No, not only did she not make a mistake in her memorization, but she also memorized it quite well. With a wake-up call in his mind, he broke off the words and said: "The women of the people are only shallow in their learning, and the holy books are not for the women to read clearly, so they can only memorize them here, and ask the saints for forgiveness." ”

The person immersed in the soup pool behind the screen seemed to have not heard her for a long time, and when she bit her lip, he said in a deep voice, "There is a room next door, you go and sleep." ”

Since he was willing to let her go, no matter what he thought, she couldn't ask for it, so she walked away quickly after thanking her.

The sound of her footsteps passed through the screen and into his ears, making the corners of his lips hook: Walking in such a hurry? said that she was really afraid of him, not necessarily. said that she was not afraid of him at all, and she didn't have to. The ink eyes are like this night that is getting stronger and stronger and sinks into the sea.

Hua Xiyan later learned from Li Shunde that her son had a palace to sleep with, and her heart was steady, so she may be tired during the day and in the middle of the night, and slept until dawn that night.

Early in the morning, the sound of the palace woke her up. I got up and combed my hair, and saw a new set of clothes on the chair, which should have been for her today. The clothes in this palace, as long as you wear them a few times, even if they are beautiful fabrics, you are used to it. Like her son, she is a super resilient person.

A palace maid came in, bringing her water to wash her face on Li Shunde's order, and helped her put on her clothes. Li Shunde came over to see her early. She asked about their arrangements for her son. Li Shunde asked her to rest assured: "The saint asked the little prince to be the prince's companion." Accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to study in Guangyang Palace. ”

Let her son go to school? That's a good idea. Helped her solve a big problem.

"Yan Shangshu, run out early. The Holy One did not go to the morning court today, but only received a few ministers. The Holy One wants you to serve by your side. ”

Li Zimo is a generation of Ming Jun, but he is also a Ming Jun with an eccentric temperament, and his style of acting is even more unique, which is different from the previous emperors. For example, he did not like to go to court in the morning and accept the worship of a large group of ministers, believing that these etiquettes were too cumbersome and made the emperor inefficient.

Such an emperor, if he is a president in modern times, must not be bad, and he seems to be a person who pays attention to hard work. Hua Xiyan unconsciously compared in her heart.

I walked to the place where he worked next door, and when I entered, I saw that several ministers were already kneeling on the ground and not moving. She carefully brushed past the men and stood at the table. Li Shunde on the opposite side glanced at her and asked her to polish the ink. She picked up the ink block and made a vertical circle on the inkstone.

The room was quiet, only the sound of her grinding ink, soft, unhurried, blending into the quiet air, coordinated to the point of attracting attention.

Looking down at the dark eyes of the worshipping ministers, he couldn't help but look at her sideways, only to see her ugly scar facing him, but it was surprisingly pleasing to the eye.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Lord Long."

The courtiers who stood up, six in all, finished their salutes and divided into two sides, and three stood in a line on each side.

Hua Xiyan didn't know any of these ministers.

The ministers were old, middle-aged, and young. There are two old ministers, three middle-aged, and young people, who are about the same age as the palace, is one. The ministers who can meet and talk with the emperor are also reasonable in terms of age.

I picked up a fold in my hand, opened it, glanced at it, probably read it, and read: "Zhu Erkang." ”

"The minister is here." Chapter 062 in the middle of the left side is extremely frugal. ”

Inside the house, only Zhu Erkang's pig-liver-like face and sentences remained: "This, this, this-"

"Smack!" Throw it on Zhu Erkang's head, "What is this, this! Zhu Qing, are you deliberately fooling me! ”

"Holy forgiveness! Minister, minister just-"

"Edited by the Hanlin Academy, I see that what you have in your head is not a book, it is all filled with straw!"

Long Wei shook in the house for a long time, and Zhu Erkang was dying. The eyes of the rest of the courtiers were flickering.

Needless to say, Zhu Erkang deserves it. But it's the woman who has exposed the secret...... When it comes to this cotton process, if people who don't know the situation very well, they must not be clear, and to be able to count the specific number, talk about warehousing and other management, it must not be something that ordinary people can do, at least they need to be educated, and they can even say that they have the ability to be an official, and they must have the experience of being an official, otherwise how can they summarize and state in an orderly manner, without flaws, and hit the nail on the head. So, when Zhu Erkang was disposed of, several courtiers in the house, Zhang Mingxian and others, recalled what Hua Xiyan had just said, and they were all surprised in their hearts.

Who is this woman?

As long as there is a big movement in the palace, it will not take a few hours, it will definitely spread to the outside of the palace and to the ears of hundreds of officials in the court. Because which official will not be afraid of being taken off the black gauze hat. As for what happened to Zhu Erkang, the officials felt that Zhu Erkang's complaint was really a joke. Not to mention being exposed in person that his talent is vain, as long as Li Zimo has the heart to let people go down to investigate, the truth will come to the surface sooner or later. Therefore, it can only be said that this Zhu Erkang, because he was unwilling to stay in the Hanlin Academy to do the work of repairing books, dared to transfer to the post in an attempt to make a small report, and sought to seize greater power, and finally moved a stone and shot himself in the foot.

Of course, it didn't take long for everyone's attention to be on Zhu Erkang, a clown who was not enough to make people feel dangerous, but on the woman who exposed Zhu Erkang's fake knowledge in front of the saint and was called Yan Shangshu by the saint.

In Yongshou Palace, Empress Dowager Hu didn't sleep very well at night, and when she got up, it was almost noon, and Aunt Sun helped her up. Empress Dowager Hu figured it out last night, and said to her: "Write me a letter and send it to the eldest princess's mansion." If the mourning family personally came forward to arrange it, it would definitely make the saint feel disgusted again. It's better for the eldest princess to come out with this. ”

Aunt Sun took up the pen and wrote a letter in accordance with her wishes.

A palace maid walked in from outside, and said something in Aunt Sun's ear, Aunt Sun paused the brush in her hand, and looked back at the Empress Dowager Hu with surprise in her eyes: "The Queen Mother-"

Empress Dowager Hu frowned, but smiled: "It's just right." The mourning family can see what kind of woman it is. ”
