Xiangping's night was absurd, endlessly sinking in the sea of ** and unable to extricate himself, not only behaving Meng Lang, but also completely losing the integrity and dignity of the royal princess.

But at least Xiangping's messing around is only limited to her own bedroom, as long as the courtyard door of the Golden Jubilee Palace is closed, she does not affect the rest of the palace.

But maybe it's really a mother-daughter connection, Xiangping's side is ridiculous, as his mother, Chen, who has been promoted from a good concubine to the queen mother of the West.

This early in the morning, she rushed to the imperial study and stopped Zhou Xianrui, who was about to go to court, and her actions were not only absurd compared to Xiangping, but also violated the ancestral system.

After all, the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty has set rules from the generation of the ancestors, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics.

So Empress Chen rushed to the imperial study, which would stop Zhou Xianrui from going to the court, if it was really investigated, this matter would not be as simple as absurdity.

However, Chen Hu is Zhou Xianrui's biological mother, no matter how dissatisfied he is as the emperor, he must patiently ask the other party to find his reason.

Chen, who became the queen mother, is now dressed not only in a dignified robe skirt embroidered with a phoenix embroidered in dark yellow, but also with a completely different demeanor from when the other party was a good concubine.

After seeing Chen and hearing Zhou Xianrui's inquiry, her face immediately sank, and she sat down on the chair on one side directly, and then said:

"Knowing that the emperor has every opportunity, he usually comes to the mourning family, and you may not have time to listen to me and you nag a few words about the harem. Therefore, the mourning family can only rush early in the morning, and before you go to court, you and the emperor will explain some of the things that have accumulated in the queen mother's heart. Otherwise, if you don't say it, the mourning family will have to hold back the illness. ”

Chen is Zhou Xianrui's biological mother, and seeing that the other party will rub his chest, he really looks angry.

Zhou Xianrui, who knew that there was still a little effort to arrive in the last dynasty, and he had always been quite filial, couldn't help frowning and asking worriedly:

"Mother, what's wrong with you, why did you say such an unlucky thing. Could it be that Empress Xue of the East Palace bullied you as the Empress Dowager, or that girl Xiangping acted arbitrarily in the palace again, making you angry. The queen mother can rest assured that I will go to Jinxuan to discuss it when I go to the court to see how to handle the affairs of the harem as safely as possible. Therefore, if the queen mother is unwell, go back to Yanqing Palace to recuperate, and you don't have to worry about the affairs of the harem. ”

Zhou Xianrui said these words with good intentions, but how could he expect that after listening to Chen Hou, his face, which was quite relaxed just now, sank, and then he slapped the table and said:

"If the queen mother had the opportunity to worry about it, she would not come over to disturb the emperor to do the world's major affairs now. And the mourning family is not angry with Empress Xue, as for Xiangping, your sister is very well-behaved, if it weren't for the fact that she came to accompany her mother from time to time and told me about the things in the palace, how could the mourning family know that there have been people in the harem who are making trouble, and the monopoly of power is almost going to become the second Empress Xue. In the past, the surname of this harem was Xue, and it would not be long before the mourning family would be surnamed Xiao. ”

Zhou Xianrui is not stupid, Empress Chen understands what he said so clearly, he can't see where his queen mother came to complain to him this morning and targeted Xiao Jinxuan.

In fact, Zhou Xianrui was quite surprised by this result, after all, after the rebellion was put to an early level, the harem that was also affected by it should not only be properly resettled, but also the forbidden army had to be screened anew.

At that time, Zhou Xianrui was busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty and had no intention of caring about the affairs of the harem.

At that time, Empress Chen, who was still a good concubine, returned to Beijing and came back, but it was actually Xiao Jinxuan recommended by the other party, which was the other party's later charge of the Sixth Palace.

After all, Zhou Xianrui knew that Xiao Jinxuan couldn't bother too much, so according to his original intention, he didn't want the other party to work hard.

It was Empress Chen who would say that Xiao Jinxuan had always been thinking about the overall situation, and asked Zhou Xianrui to ask the other party if he could give up his recuperation first and take care of the affairs of the harem for the time being.

Therefore, thinking of these causes and consequences, Zhou Xianrui couldn't help frowning slightly, and then said in a somewhat unhappy tone:

"The queen mother, in fact, after you returned to Beijing, the first thing your son discussed with you was to ask you to take care of all the affairs of the harem. But at that time, you only said that you were old, and you were inevitably soft-hearted in everything, and recommended Jinxuan to take this heavy responsibility. Now that the harem will return to normal order and stability, you just want to remove Jinxuan's rights. Wouldn't I Zhou Xianrui become a ruthless and unreasonable person by doing this, so you don't have to say it, this harem I will still ask Jinxuan to continue to be in power. ”

Seeing that Zhou Xianrui not only categorically refused, but also regarded himself as "I" at the end of the words.

Thinking that he was by his side before, Zhou Xianrui had always been quite filial and called himself "I", and immediately Chen Hou couldn't help but be even more annoyed.

"Xianrui, Xianrui, the queen mother knows that you are now the emperor and the king of a country, and you don't have to listen to the words of the mourning family. But you see, because of a woman, you are now starting to rebel against me, my biological mother. According to the mourning family, if Xiao Jinxuan is asked to stay in the palace for a period of time, you have to be confused by the other party's words and obey. It was true that the other party was recommended by me before, but since the harem has settled down, if Xiao Jinxuan is a sensible person, she should not continue to hold on to power. Even if you don't have a queen now, there are still mourning families in the palace, and your sister Xiangping can take care of it on your behalf, so it's safer and safer than handing over the real power to an outsider. ”

Zhou Xianrui's eyes were full of disbelief, and he looked closely at Empress Chen, who was still talking there.

In fact, since the mother concubine was promoted to the Queen Mother of the West, Zhou Xianrui has too many things to deal with because he first ascended the throne, and he has no time to go to Yanqing Palace often to ask for peace.

But even after a few meetings, Zhou Xianrui also found it obviously.

Today's biological mother seems to have become more and more powerful in words and deeds since she became the Queen Mother of the West Palace, but even in terms of open-mindedness, she doesn't seem to be so virtuous.

However, when I think of Empress Chen, she has been oppressed by Empress Xue for a long time in the past few decades, and now it is not a big deal to raise her eyebrows and be stronger.

But seeing that Empress Chen is now not only running to seize power in person, but also facing Xiao Jinxuan, who has been assisting him wholeheartedly, his words are full of hostility and jealousy.

Immediately, Zhou Xianrui's upright temperament also made him unbearable.

"Queen Mother, Jinxuan is not an outsider, she is my concubine, I hope you don't say such hurtful things next time. Secondly, when the harem was the most chaotic, Jinxuan was still able to suppress and take care of it. Although Empress Xue is dormant now, the other party will never continue like this forever, and only Jinxuan can deal with the other party. At this point, it is difficult for either the queen mother or Xiangping to do it, so regarding the matter of Jinxuan being in charge of the harem, I will not listen to the arrangement of the queen mother, so if you have nothing to do, go back to the palace immediately. This is the Imperial Study, even if you are already the Queen Mother, you definitely shouldn't come here often. ”

For Zhou Xianrui's son, Empress Chen was actually a good concubine, so she couldn't influence the other party's decisions and ideas.

However, since she beat the Empress Dowager of the West Palace, she felt that her identity was no longer what it used to be, so she lost her sense of proportion, thinking that Zhou Xianrui would not dare to disobey her words.

But looking at this biological son, not only did he refuse her request without a trace of hesitation, but he also reprimanded her in words for being suspected of interfering in politics.

Immediately, what was in his heart was indeed ******** for the sake of the safety of the harem, and wanted to receive the real power into the hands of the royal family, was bumped by Zhou Xianrui, and couldn't help but stand up suddenly, and said with a grin:

"This is really a son who can't help his mother when he is older, what kind of royal person is Xiao Jinxuan, the other party is mixed with Xianyu, and they are the couple who have the reality of husband and wife. Xianrui, you still keep saying that such a woman is your concubine, and it will make people laugh at you if you want to spread it. In fact, the queen mother didn't mean anything else, but Jinxuan's child was indeed too smart, and her scheming sometimes made the mourning family feel terrible. You handed over the right to rule the sixth house to such a person, and the mourning family was worried that she would be blinded by the power. At that time, if the other party really becomes the second Empress Xue, and is joining forces with the Xianyu who holds the military power, Rui'er Mother is worried that your throne is unstable, why don't you understand the hard work of the mourning family. ”

But after listening to Chen's so-called good intentions, in exchange for Zhou Xianrui's incomprehension, and dissatisfaction.

I saw that Zhou Xianrui suddenly pointed to his heart and lungs under the dragon robe, and then looked at Empress Chen with serious eyes, and then said in an undoubted tone:

"The queen mother and child really don't know why you have such a deep prejudice against Jinxuan, don't forget that if the other party hadn't given up Yan Luo's tears to his son, I, Zhou Xianrui, would even be lying on the sickbed now, and you wouldn't be able to become today's Queen Mother of the West. There is also Xianyu He is my brother in life and death, although the two of us are indeed half-brothers, but the seventh brother was raised by you, is it possible that the queen mother can't even believe each other. In fact, whether it is Jinxuan or Xianyu, they have not changed, and the person who has really changed is the queen mother. The child knew what Jinxuan was, and knew that if she hadn't been there to help me, she wouldn't have stayed in the harem at all. Therefore, the power of the six palaces is handed over to the other party, and I am the most at ease. ”

Zhou Xianrui's temperament is upright, and if the father of Emperor Ming was in power, if there was something wrong with the handling of government affairs, he would bluntly correct it.

Therefore, this will be replaced by Empress Chen, even if the other party is indeed his biological mother, but Zhou Xianrui is not a foolish person.

Right is right, wrong is wrong, and he will not be accommodating Chen Hou because they are mother and son.

And it is also because of Zhou Xianrui's very assertive and fair personality that is also the real reason why Emperor Ming did not choose his favorite son Zhou Xianyu in the end, but instead issued an edict to Zhou Xianrui.

After all, Emperor Ming knew that this fifth son, who was upright and rigorous, had a character that was suitable for becoming a generation of Ming monarchs.

Obviously, Emperor Ming's vision and foresight are correct, and Zhou Xianrui, who is looking at this meeting, said all the thoughts in his heart and the admonition to Empress Chen bluntly.

Seeing that the time for the court was approaching, Zhou Xianrui was not a person who delayed political affairs for the sake of his children's personal affairs, so he bowed to Empress Chen.

Zhou Xianrui immediately turned around and went up to the court accompanied by a group of palace people. Even if Empress Chen's face turned blue with anger, he still couldn't keep the other party's footsteps.

Seeing that Zhou Xianrui had left the imperial study for a while, Empress Chen was still so angry that she stood in place and rubbed her chest.

As the other party's confidant palace maid, Aunt Xiangyun hurriedly stepped forward to support Empress Chen, and then worriedly persuaded the other party to hurry back to Yanqing Palace, and it was useless to continue to stay in the imperial study.

But when she heard this, Empress Chen shook off the other party's hand, and then her face was extremely ugly, and she immediately said:

"Xiangyun, let's go to Zhaoyang Palace, Xianrui is now the emperor, and he dares to disobey my biological mother. The mourning family also wants to take a look, so Xiao Jinxuan is in charge of the sixth palace, does she not take me seriously, let's meet each other for a while! ”
