Chapter 385: Thoughts
"Queen Mother, Lord Xiu doesn't seem to be easy to control." After Duanmu Yingwu left, a woman walked out behind the Empress Dowager of Western Xia. The Empress Dowager patted the woman's hand, "Liu'er, it doesn't matter if you don't control it, as long as you marry him and give birth to a son-in-law." ”
The Empress Dowager said, she naturally knew that Duanmu Yingwu was not easy to master, and the new emperor was very easy to control, but the new emperor listened to the words of the Emperor and the Empress Taishang. Duanmu Yingwu's relationship with the Emperor Taishang and Empress Taishang was not harmonious, and the Empress Dowager had no choice but to look at Duanmu Yingwu, and only by joining forces with Duanmu Yingwu could she win.
"But the Emperor Taishang is the biological father of King Xiu." The woman named Ryu'er said.
She is Gao Minliu, the daughter of the queen mother's biological mother, and Duanmu Yingwu is also a cousin. Gao Minliu lost her mother since she was a child, and because she gave birth to the daughter of the Queen Mother who died early, she was taken into the palace by the Queen Mother since she was a child and raised.
Now that Gao Minliu is nineteen years old, it stands to reason that the Queen Mother should also be a son-in-law for Gao Minliu, but the return of King Xiu made the Queen Mother change her mind and have new ideas.
Gao Minliu grew up beside the Queen Mother since she was a child, and was raised by the Queen Mother herself, which was an honor that none of the princesses of the previous dynasty had. Now the queen mother is still high, but because of the emperor and the queen, the situation has become more delicate. At this time, Gao Minliu was naturally worried that her fate had long been tied to the Queen Mother, and if the Queen Mother had a bad one, she would not be much better.
Although the Emperor Taishang is also Gao Minliu's cousin, it is different in the end, Gao Minliu was brought up by the Queen Mother, and it is better to be a mother and daughter than a mother and daughter.
Now the Queen Mother and the Emperor are fighting for power, and there is a stumbling block for the Queen Mother in the harem, one against the other, the Queen Mother is still a little powerless. Therefore, the queen mother wanted Duanmu Yingwu to marry Gao Minliu, and then supported Duanmu Yingwu to ascend to the throne, with Gao Minliu's relationship with her, and Duanmu Yingwu's respect for her elders. The Queen Mother still sees great hope.
"Hmph, it's the biological father, but there are several father-son relationships, especially if you were born in the royal family." The Queen Mother didn't continue, but Gao Minliu understood that the royal family affection was very indifferent. She has been accepted into the palace since she was a child to serve the queen mother, who is still the queen, from the past to the present, Gao Minliu has naturally seen everything.
Not to mention the royal family, even the Gao family also has interests first, and her father also has many children. Her mother was a stepmother. It's a pity that she died early, and after her father remarried, although she was not abused, she also tasted warmth and coldness in the Gao family. If it weren't for the luck to enter the palace when she was seven years old to see the queen mother, she would still be neglected in the Gao family today, or be married as a benefit.
Therefore, Gao Minliu is very grateful to the Queen Mother, but because she is raised by the Queen Mother's side, Gao Minliu's vision is very high, and she can't look down on ordinary men at all. So I haven't married even now at the age of nineteen.
It's not that no one marries, on the contrary, there are many people who want to marry Gao Minliu, but she doesn't want to marry like this. The royal family is the top of the whole world, and the royal palace is the best. In Gao Minliu's heart. She deserves to be worthy of the supreme man in the world. She grew up in the palace, and naturally knew that this was the most honorable place in the world, and she didn't want to leave here, as long as she was in the palace. Who is not respectful and polite to her. And once she leaves the palace, although she will marry very well, no matter how good it is, it is comparable to the honor of the palace.
But the new emperor is an eight-year-old little emperor. is too different in age from Gao Minliu, but it is King Xiu, who meets Gao Minliu's standards and requirements. So when the queen mother proposed it, Gao Minliu was moved, and even fantasized about marrying Duanmu Yingwu and waiting for Duanmu Yingwu to become the queen.
Mother Yi world, these four words make people's hearts pound and dream.
Compared with the calculations of the Empress Dowager and Gao Minliu, Duanmu Yingwu, who left, didn't pay much attention to it, and he went to see the Emperor Taishang, the Empress Taishang and the new emperor.
When Duanmu Yingwu arrived, the atmosphere of the Emperor Taishang, the Empress Taishang and the new emperor was very harmonious, but as soon as he appeared, the atmosphere cooled down.
Emperor Taishang's face was stern, this was always in front of his children, but if Duanmu Yingwu hadn't seen this father smile doting on the new emperor, he would have thought that his father had an attitude towards his children.
And now Duanmu Yingwu also understands that his father just wants a child who is obedient and obedient and does not disobey him, like the new emperor now, everything is obedient to the emperor, and he is only a puppet emperor.
Duanmu Yingwu used to admire this father very much, but now he understands that in the battle for the throne, his father was actually the most satisfied with his younger brother. As for his eldest brother, he is indeed very good, and he was also cultivated by his father, but if he becomes the emperor, his father will definitely choose this younger brother, just because this younger brother is better controlled.
Originally, Duanmu Yingwu didn't care who was the emperor, he didn't have such a thought, but he just thought of himself and his dead eldest brother and other brothers, Duanmu Yingwu's heart was cold. At this time, he has not found out the real culprit behind them, but he is already a little eyebrows, although there is no evidence, but this matter is related to his harmless stepmother.
Emperor Taishang is now jealous of his son, and Empress Taishang also feels that Duanmu Yingwu is an eyesore, although the new emperor is only eight years old, he also knows that he is the emperor, plus Empress Taishang told him that Duanmu Yingwu came back to grab the throne with him, so Duanmu Yingwu's gaze is a little unkind.
The three superiors didn't have the heart to chat with Duanmu Yingwu, and after saying a few words, they sent Duanmu Yingwu away.
After returning to the palace, Duanmu Yingwu frowned, and Zhu Qing came over and poured a cup of tea for Duanmu Yingwu.
"Look at your appearance, is it not smooth to enter the palace?" Zhu Qing asked.
"I used to think that something was wrong with my father, and I thought he was being charged with drugs, but today I look at it but it's not like that." Seeing Zhu Qing appear, Duanmu Yingwu's eyebrows softened a lot, and he didn't hide it from Zhu Qing, and said his thoughts.
"Do you want me to check it out?" Zhu Qingdao.
"No, I'll let someone check it, you were almost injured last time." Duanmu Yingwu said, he couldn't bear Zhu Qing to go out on an adventure.
Zhu Qing sneered, "You also underestimate me too much, and you don't care about this injury." "She was trained by the hidden door, and when she licked the blood from the knife, life and death had long been put aside. The master of the door arranged her to Duanmu Yingwu's side to help him, but Duanmu Yingwu was fine, and when he saw that he was injured once, he didn't allow her to act again.
"You are a woman, you have to take care of yourself, I don't like to hear that you don't take yourself seriously." Duanmu Yingwu said with a straight face, very unhappy in his heart, Zhu Qing didn't care about life and death.
"I don't have to do it myself." Zhu Qing said.
Duanmu Yingwu nodded at this time, "Anyway, you take care of yourself." ”
Zhu Qing was speechless, how could he feel that Duanmu Yingwu was very awkward, and it was not right.
"Do you care too much about me, and always think you have a plan?" Zhu Qing looked at Duanmu Yingwu vigilantly.
Duanmu Yingwu's face was straight, and he said with righteousness, "Why are you also sent to me by the Sea Emperor, I naturally have to take care of you, otherwise how to explain to the Sea Emperor." ”
"That's true, then why aren't you like this to Vermilion?" Zhu Qing expressed his suspicions, Zhu Hong was also with her some time ago, but she didn't see Duanmu Yingwu treating them equally.
"It's because Zhu Hong is not here that I want to be good to you, no matter how we say it, we are partners, and it's normal for me to care about you."
"That's best, I'm still afraid that you will fall in love with me, I can't be with you, I still have to serve the master of my family, but I decided not to marry in this life." Zhu Qing patted his chest with a relieved look, which made Duanmu Yingwu depressed, and before he could speak, Zhu Qing said again, "You rest early, I'll go out."
Seeing Zhu Qing's movements disappear quickly, Duanmu Yingwu slammed his fist on the table, and with a bang, the waiter outside the door was startled and hurriedly came in.
"Prince" Eunuch Li saw Duanmu Yingwu's masochistic appearance, and hurriedly said: "Prince, do you want the slave maid to ask the imperial doctor to take a look." ”
"No" Duanmu Yingwu didn't take this pain to heart, and he was depressed to death now. Zhu Qing's cold-hearted woman must have been God's eyes on him, but he sent this woman to him.
Duanmu Yingwu doesn't know when he was attracted to Zhu Qing, Zhu Qing has a good female celebrity in addition to his face, during the period from Xisha Island to Xixia Kingdom, he once made him a dress, accepted a pair of shoes, took care of him, cooked for him, accompanied him, saved him, hugged him, meticulous......
Duanmu Yingwu counted and counted, and the more he counted, the more he felt that Zhu Qing was still very good in addition to his cold temperament, otherwise he would not have let his heart move.
Since returning to the Western Xia Kingdom, Duanmu Yingwu has suffered a bad assassination, once being held by Zhu Qing, and even the two were in close contact. But Duanmu Yingwu felt embarrassed, but Zhu Qing was very calm, treating Yiqiē as a task, and he didn't feel that he was being taken advantage of.
But Zhu Qing can be calm, but Duanmu Yingwu can't do it, Zhu Qing is from the hidden door, they are partners, and Baili Yanqing has a life-saving grace for him. But Duanmu Yingwu didn't want to like Zhu Qing, but in fact, he liked it. And in Duanmu Yingwu's eyes, Zhu Qing is a very good woman, and she is also very strong, she is simply a woman tailored for herself, the one she wants in her mind.
In Duanmu Yingwu's heart, Zhu Qing is impeccable from head to toe, whether he is outside or inside. It's just that Zhu Qing lacks a tendon of love, which makes Duanmu Yingwu very anxious, he is such a big and beautiful man, and he often shakes in front of Zhu Qing, but Zhu Qing is indifferent, and he always thinks of her master in his mouth, which makes Duanmu Yingwu unconsciously jealous of Baili Yanqing.
