The New Year was supposed to be extremely festive, but due to the family affairs of the Regent's Palace, no one in the front and back harems had the heart to celebrate the festival.

Even the birthday of the Queen Mother has been affected to a certain extent.

After the regent handed it over with an excerpt that disrespected his stepmother, there was a small turmoil, and it was the Queen Mother who intervened.

I don't know if I have some feelings for Gong Xiangxiao, or if I have other ideas, in short, the Empress Dowager said in front of the monarch and ministers: "The eldest son of the regent was raised by the Empress Dowager and Emperor Xiaozong, and he is the most pure filial piety, and he will definitely not do anything disrespectful to his elders." It is about His Majesty's blood and blood of the Divine Sect, how can he be convicted at will? I also ask Your Majesty and your Excellency to consider it again. ”

This is clearly to protect the public.

Yun Fenghuan of the harem sneered after receiving the news, and said in his heart, but the public Xiangxiao may not be willing to accept this favor now.

In front of everyone's eyes, Chunjia must give the empress dowager a son, so he ordered this matter to be suppressed for the time being, and wait for the uncle and nephew to go to Qingci Palace to greet the empress dowager together, and then talk about it.

Later, the uncle and nephew went to Qingci Palace, stayed for a long time, and the lunch point was over, and then they left one after the other.

Chunjia returned to the Huanhua Hall to eat, and Yun Fenghuang personally gave him vegetables, and asked what they had told the Empress Dowager?

The key is that the Queen Mother came out to speak this time, what is her intention?

"After all, the Empress Dowager is the mother of the regent, and the first emperor of Xiaozong had no children, so she couldn't help but be extra fond of the son, and the empress dowager often teased the prince at that time." Chunjia said casually, "Don't look at the regent who turned his face with the Ji family later, he didn't have much contact with the empress dowager and the concubine Ji Sheng, he only went to the palace during the New Year or when there was something, but after all, they have been together for many years, and the friendship is somewhat there." ”

Otherwise, the Empress Dowager would not have chosen the regent between the regent and Chunjia.

For Shenzong's wife and children, no matter how entangled they are, they are a family that has been together for many years.

And Chunjia, who now occupies the throne, is an outright outsider.

Yun Fenghuang heard the words and served Chun Jia a bowl of soup to warm him up.

Chunjia didn't care very much, Shenzong's wife and children didn't treat him as his own, and he didn't actually take them too seriously.

If you want to talk about guilt and compensation, there are yes, but they are probably going to the three eldest princesses.

But even so, he still arranged the marriage of the three eldest princesses with calculations.

So whether the empress dowager is eccentric or the regent rejects it, Chunjia doesn't matter.

After taking a sip of soup at this time, he continued to get down to business: "The Empress Dowager is really a little distressed about the prince this time, even if she can't keep his position as the son, she doesn't want him to have a reputation for disrespecting his elders." I have just promised her with the regent that I will use the reason that the prince is sick and bedridden and cannot bear the responsibilities of the prince to change his title to the Marquis of Shouning. ”

And the Empress Dowager did not agree to let Gong Xiangxiao go to guard the tomb of Princess Dou, she blamed the regent in front of Chunjia: "Dou died early, and the most concerned thing before his death must be the son who was still young at the time." As a result, it's only been a few years, and you let her only son go to her grave to stay, don't you let the Dou family have no peace under the nine springs? Besides, how old is the son, he is young, and he grew up with the emperor Yunwen Yunwu, what do you do not serve the court, you have to drive people to guard the tomb!? It's hard to believe that the regent palace is now so poor that it can't even arrange for the descendants to guard the tomb of the concubine, and it needs the eldest son of the labor hall?! ”

The regent reluctantly refused: "Xiao'er has never done anything serious, what can she do for the court?" He has a bad temperament, he is not the kind of person who can calm down and do things, don't help more and more when the time comes, but he will burden the queen mother and His Majesty to clean up the aftermath for him. ”

"The son of the world is also the grandson of the mourning family, the mourning family is an old bone, who does he worry about if he doesn't worry about his grandson?" The Empress Dowager snorted and said, "As for the emperor, what do you say, emperor?" ”

Chunjia took the route of being generous and generous, and at this moment, he naturally smiled and promised that he didn't care about the trouble that Gong Xiangxiao would cause to him.

He has the confidence and ability to be a good cousin.

The Empress Dowager said, "Then if you send it, what else do you have to say?" ”

What if the public can send it?

He is now fighting against Chun Jiade and the Empress Dowager, and the result is now

The Empress Dowager went with Chunjiazhan, and no matter how much he objected, he had no result, so he could only reluctantly agree.

However, he also put forward a request, that is, Gong Xiangxiao is young and inexperienced, and it is not appropriate to rush into important things, so it is better to start with idle jobs and low grades, so as not to cause big trouble to the court when he gets it.

Even if the Empress Dowager and Chunjia swore that they were willing to live for him, it would not be a good thing after all.

The Empress Dowager did not object to this, and Chunjia also agreed.

But the Empress Dowager put forward another point, that is, Gong Xiangxiao will go to the position of the prince next, and most of them will go to other places to take office, so this marriage must be arranged immediately.

Otherwise, would it be possible to let the grandson of the Divine Sect go to a foreign place to marry a woman with a low lintel?

The regent had something to say at this time: "Why should the queen mother worry so much about that evil obstacle? As long as the sons and daughters are virtuous and sensible, it is nothing if they are from a low background. For example, the child's Yuan is paired with Dou's family, and his background is not high. There are also virtuous concubines in the palace, how can they be famous and noble? ”

"Concubine Xian is just a concubine, can she compare with the main palace? The emperor's two empresses, who is not from a high family? The Empress Dowager said lightly, "As for the Dou family, the mourning family doesn't want the son to marry the daughter of a low family because of the example of the Dou family. ”

The regent lowered his head and thought about it, then said: "Actually, Xiao'er doesn't have to leave the imperial capital, there are also many idle jobs in the capital that can be tempered. ”

"Uncle Wang, it's better to listen to the emperor's grandmother in this matter." Chunjia smiled beside him and said, "After all, the matter between your father and son has made a lot of trouble in the past two days, and then the prince is going to be demoted to the marquis, how can the emperor not talk about it?" It is better to let the prince go to other places to avoid the limelight, so as not to be chewed on the root of the tongue by the royal family. ”

The Empress Dowager looked at Chunjia with complicated eyes, and said to the regent: "That's what the mourning family means." The son of the world also has this big point, and it's time to save face. You let him stay in the imperial capital, and see the sky and listen to those who have and don't, how can he think about it? Surely your father and son are not going to be enemies? Why don't you let your child go outside for a walk, maybe he will want to open and come back to you to ask for sin? ”

The regent took advantage of the situation and said, "If this is the case, his marriage is not in a hurry." After all, he is still full of misunderstandings about the child now, even if the child forcibly marries him a famous lady, I am afraid that he also has suspicions, and even hates the house and Wu, and is not close to his wife, so if he achieves a pair of resentful couples, wouldn't it be beautiful? Men on the left and right are not as short as women's youth, let him go out to experience and discuss marriage, which can also make those high-ranking families break their hearts, rather than purely looking at his clan status. ”

…… So the matter was settled, and Chun Jia said with Yun Fenghuang: "You pick up some things and send them over when they leave the imperial capital, in the end, it is the blood of the Divine Sect." ”

He said that it was the blood of the Divine Sect rather than his brother, which shows that he actually didn't see Gong Xiangxiao as close to him in his heart.

Yun Fenghuang thought about it, so he didn't need to be too careful, and the meaning came true.

Thinking of the behind-the-scenes of Gong Xiangxiao's series of actions, he lowered his eyes slightly and said, "By the way, Xiao Daiyu's matter, was it the Empress Dowager who did it?" ”

Chunjia smiled and said: "This kind of thing, can you still ask the Empress Dowager about her fault?" I had no choice but to stop it. The people on the left and right of Xiao Daiyu were all sent away. ”

Moreover, you have finally got it in your hands justifiably.

Yun Fenghuang silently added in his heart, even if there must be many people in it who are loyal to the regent, and there is still a lot of sand, but nominally, the Imperial City Division will return to the previous kind of not being responsible to anyone except the Son of Heaven, and even if the regent wants to use the Imperial City Division in the future, he must be careful, once it is discovered, he will inevitably be attacked.

Besides, Chunjia is not stupid, and he will inevitably clean and tidy it up and completely use it for his own use.

She secretly thought that Qi Jiulu dared to pry Gong Xiangxiao to do tricks in the palace, presumably relying on it here.

For Chunjia, this matter is actually beneficial and harmless except for a little loss of face.

So even if Chunjia sees that he has an inside story, Bacheng is not willing to investigate deeply, lest he let the regent find out the flaws, so how can he be willing to hand over the Imperial City Division?

"It's just that what did he do when he arranged for Gong Xiangxiao to leave the imperial capital?" Yun Fenghuang perfunctory Chunjia on the one hand, and secretly wondered on the other, "Gong Xiangxiao is also the eldest son of the prince who bears the name of the prince when he is snubbed by the regent, and he has a place to use for one day in the palace......

Now that he is sent out, what can his temperament and means be used for? ”

Maybe he will drag Qi Jiulu to continue to help him with advice, lest this grandson of the Divine Sect go to the field and meet the arrogant and bold maniac, and be calculated.

If it is an ordinary staff, it can be said that it is better to be the head of the chicken than the tail of the phoenix, looking at the big guys who can't compete for the Cuiyuan, and the eyes of the prince, it is better to let the prince set up his own door and follow him happily.

After all, the marquis is certainly inferior to the prince, but judging from the situation before Gong Xiangxiao, under the hands of the regent and Lu Jifei, he was trembling and became the prince, and he didn't know when he would be abandoned, and there would be nothing to fight with chickens and eggs.

It's better to pinch Chenguang and take the initiative to make trouble, relying on the sympathy of all parties to get a knighthood, isn't it better than looking at the face of the half-brother in the future?

But Qi Jiulu has already joined the Dingbei Army, and his future is not bad, so he will not plan to give up the operation of the Dingbei Army and go to Gong Xiangxiao.

When Concubine Xian was full of doubts, Qi Jiulu was walking briskly through an extremely long corridor.

He is now healed from his injuries, but after all, he was damaged too much before, and he still needs to be recuperated, and when he walks fast, there is a stuffy pain in his chest. It's just that Qi Jiulu is stoic, as if he didn't realize it, after passing through the cloister is a small courtyard, the spring flowers have not yet opened in this season, and there are some flowers such as narcissus that are not afraid of the cold, and the dark fragrance floats, which is quite quiet.

In this quiet place, there is a figure standing out of place with the environment, sitting on his knees, his eyes slightly closed, as if he is taking a nap.

"The last general, Qi Jiulu, meet the general!" Qi Jiulu stepped forward, bowed and clasped his fists without squinting, and said in a deep voice, "General Yu, the last general will complete all the things he explained a few days ago, and the prince will be able to leave Beijing in a few days!" ”

When the man heard this, he let out a faint "um", and he didn't open his eyes, but said slowly: "You did a good job in this matter, but it's not clean enough!" I'm afraid that the one in the palace is already suspicious of you now. ”

"The last will know." Qi Jiulu maintained a bowed posture and said, "However, with the benefit of retrieving the Imperial City Division, presumably that person will also turn a blind eye and will not rashly reveal this matter." ”

After a pause, he said, "Moreover, the last general has something to do with the palace, even if he is suspicious, he will only think about this relationship, and he will never think of you, the general!" ”

"Speaking of which, General Ben has never asked." That person didn't open his eyes until this moment, but when he saw that his eyes were shining, if Yun Fenghuang was present, he would definitely be able to see that there were six or seven points of similarity between his eyebrows and Gu Zhenzu, and it was Gu Fangshu, the Zhaowu Bo who was supposed to be guarding the territory in the Northland!

Gu Fangshu stared at the heroic Qi Jiulu in front of him, his eyes were already sharp, and at this moment he deliberately added a little pressure, looking at it as if a sharp blade was adding to his body, and said slowly, "What else do you think about that lady in the palace?" ”

Qi Jiulu was silent and said calmly: "It's just the attachment when I was young. At that time, the parents were still strong, and all kinds of affairs were not on their shoulders, so they inevitably had all kinds of thoughts floating. Now that the two elders are sick, how can the last general ignore them and continue to be confused? ”

This answer did not satisfy Gu Fangshu: "Then one day, you don't need to think about all kinds of worldly things, and even have enough status to meet that lady again, what should you do?" ”

"......" Qi Jiulu thought about it for a while this time before he said, "The last general never abandoned her, she abandoned the last general first." Therefore, if you say goodbye on that day, you will be different from then on. The last general will naturally treat each other with courtesy. ”

Gu Fangshu smiled and said, "The private meeting at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet last year is also called treating each other politely?" ”

"At that time, ......" Qi Jiulu was interrupted before he could speak, and Gu Fangshu said: "General Ben knows that someone is calculating...... But the question is, why are you being calculated? ”

Qi Jiulu groaned for a short time, and then knelt down on one knee to plead guilty: "The last general is resentful, so he lost his sense of proportion, please punish the general!" ”

Gu Fangshu squinted his eyes and didn't speak for a while, before he sighed softly after a moment and said, "You should understand why General Ben always favors you in the competition between Luo Tieyi and you...... Hello do it yourself! ”

As he spoke, he got up, raised his hand and slapped Qi Jiulu twice on the shoulder, then turned around and left unhurriedly.

It wasn't until his back completely disappeared at the end of the corridor that Qi Jiulu, who maintained a bowed posture, straightened his waist a little bit, and cold sweat was pouring on his forehead.
