"The Empress Dowager?" Gu Zhen was stunned for a moment and said, "What can the Empress Dowager do now?" ”

Even when the Ji family was in power, the Empress Dowager also ascended the throne from Xiaozong and was not in charge of things. Not to mention that after Chunjia's pro-government, the power position of the empress dowager has deteriorated, and she is still alive now, and the only role is to make those who suspect that the emperor is ruthless, first punish the Ji family and then remove the Yuan family, and now he is carving the Gu family, he is simply a person who specializes in overcoming his relatives, and he thinks that the young son of heaven is still a bit of a bottom line.

This is also the Empress Dowager Yuan and the Empress Dowager Qu are gone, otherwise Gu Zhen would rather ask for these two heads, which is more reliable than the Empress Dowager, isn't it?

"Niangniang, although the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother of Our Lady had a deep relationship with Your Majesty, they are the elders of the Fuyang King's lineage in the legal system, and they are not qualified to ask the Sixth Palace." The attendant reminded, "It's the Empress Dowager, that's Your Majesty's grandmother." This grandson's back house has caused a turmoil, you are the most generous, you can't bear to be angry in the concubine's confinement, and feel sorry for Concubine Wan, and don't want to disturb Your Majesty, who is busy with government affairs, at this time, you go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, isn't it a matter of course? ”

Gu Zhen hesitated: "I just don't know if Your Majesty will not like it very much?" ”

But after thinking about it, the Queen Mother has also been low-key in the past two years, and it is still a question of whether people are willing to see her by herself.

She is not Chunjia, and the Empress Dowager does not want to see it, so she has to see it.

Or take a trip, and then the Queen Mother agrees or not, anyway, it can drag on a little Chenguang is a little ...... Maybe with this effort, someone will poke the matter to the front of the palace, and Chunjia has to deal with it herself, so she doesn't need to be embarrassed as a queen?

So Gu Zhen ordered someone to prepare a phoenix to go to Qingci Palace.

To her surprise, the Empress Dowager let her in very happily.

"The queen is a rare guest." Speaking of which, the harem has not seen the Queen Mother for a long time, and this woman with the most noble status today has a lot of gray hair, which shows how good the days of such a long time are, the destruction of the foreign family, and the death of her nieces and nephews, in the end, is torment.

However, the Empress Dowager's eyes were still blazing, and her spirit was okay, she exempted the queen from the courtesy, and ordered someone to make tea, her tone was casual, but her expression was a little curious.

This curiosity made Gu Zhen feel a little disagreeable.

How so?

The Empress Dowager is now sad, gloomy, embarrassed, angry, and even bitter...... It's all understandable.

Or even Mu Ran?

But curious about such emotions......

Gu Zhen said in his heart, I really don't know why this imperial grandmother is still curious to come out now?

She suppressed her emotions, smiled, and said what happened in a few words: Of course, she deducted the section where she framed Concubine Wanfei Jingfei, and only said that she did find those things, but later a thorough investigation found that it was actually done by Concubine Wanfei Jingfei's subordinates, and Concubine Wanfei Jingfei herself did not know.

"This kind of matter between the concubines should be judged by the queen." The Empress Dowager listened, smiled faintly, and said, "But what are you doing here to find this old bone of the mourning family?" ”

Gu Zhen originally wanted to say that he couldn't make a decision, so he wanted to ask the imperial grandmother to be the master and so on, but when the words came to his mouth, he was blessed to his heart, and suddenly got up and bowed to her, and said respectfully: "Although the granddaughter-in-law was born in the Gu family, the lintel of the Gu family was originally inferior to the Ji family, and besides, the granddaughter-in-law and the family have never had the idea of ascending to the phoenix throne before." Therefore, the granddaughter-in-law is dull and far less intelligent than the queen of the Yuan. I also asked the imperial grandmother to have mercy and teach her granddaughter-in-law how to make the six palaces peaceful and share the worries of Your Majesty? ”

The Empress Dowager actually knew Gu Zhen's original intentions, and when she heard her say this, she was a little surprised, her face became a little strange, and she said: "Outsiders say that I am the third generation of the Ji family's phoenix master, and I am very rich!" But you should understand that the three generations of Feng masters of the Ji family have not had a good ending! Sheng'er and Ling Zi did not die. It's the current situation of the mourning family, outsiders don't know, don't you know? It can be seen that the experience of these people in mourning may not be of much use. ”

"Don't dare to hide it from the emperor's grandmother, the demeanor of the three generations of the Feng lord of the Ji family, the former dynasty and the harem, but whoever has seen it, no one can forget it." Gu Zhen said respectfully, "If your granddaughter-in-law can learn one ten-thousandth, she is also satisfied!" ”

That's what she really said.

The three generations of the Ji family's phoenix masters may not be the kind of virtuous people in the historical records, but they all have selfishness, ruthlessness and calculation.

But their defeat was, in the final analysis, the impact of the collapse of the Ji family.

When it comes to being queens, these three are actually very qualified.

After all, from the Empress Dowager to the concubine Ji Sheng to the Empress Ji Lingzi, when they presided over the Six Palaces, the overall situation was stable, and there was no such thing as now, when the favorite concubine relied on the emperor's favor to openly oppress another high position, and the dignified middle palace could only find an excuse to hide in the palace and not come forward, so as not to cause a fire.

Gu Zhen really didn't expect to fully learn Ji Lingzi's point.

One is that it is impossible for the Empress Dowager to teach an outsider wholeheartedly; The second is that Ji Sheng and Ji Lingzi were both cultivated by the family as future queens when they were born, where is Gu Zhen who can compare with him when he starts to learn at this time? The most important thing is that Gu Zhen also knows in his heart that although Chunjia dislikes her stupidity, she is also relieved because of her stupidity.

She proposed to ask the Empress Dowager for advice, mainly because she hoped that she would be less embarrassed in the future.

I don't expect to say that the management of the six palaces will be obedient from now on...... In that case, it is estimated that she should almost step into Ji Lingzi's end......

"......" The Empress Dowager was silent, and after a while, she said, "The Empress doesn't have to be like this, the mourning family knows your plans, but they just feel that the concubine's actions make you in a dilemma, and you are worried that if you encounter something similar again, it will ruin the prestige of your middle palace." In fact, you can't be blamed for this, after all, you know, starting from the first emperor of Shenzong, the emperor's son Xiaozong, these two sons of heaven are both obsessed with the previous dynasty, and they don't have much lingering in the harem. At that time, in the harem, there was no favorite concubine like the allergic concubine. ”

Not to mention Yun Fenghuang, a favorite concubine who once favored the special room and was ambitious and willful, when Shenzong was filial piety, maybe because the emperor's mind was on the government, except for the queen of the main palace in the harem, the concubines had no sense of existence.

For example, the biological mother of the regent Xiangruoji, supposedly even if she was not favored, she finally gave birth to one of the only two princes of the Divine Sect, and this has only been a few decades, and there are still people alive at that time, so they will not be forgotten, right? But...... Gu Zhen really couldn't remember what this master's surname was, what his position was when he was alive, and what kind of grief he had after he left.

Gu Zhen was a little disappointed for a while, but also a little comforted: Look, the old phoenix lord who has been out of three generations of phoenix masters has said it himself, and the current situation cannot be blamed on the palace.

The reason why the three generations of Feng Lords who are highly regarded can be considered qualified queens is simply because they have a good life and have not met a favorite concubine like Yun Fenghuang.

Oh, Ji Lingzi actually met.

Even, Yunfeng Huang was picked up by this phoenix master in the early days.

If it weren't for Ji Lingzi's protection at that time, Chunjia would probably have cooked Yunfeng Huang first......

But before Ji Lingzi left the palace, although Yun Fenghuang had become a favorite concubine, he was not as unscrupulous as he is now.

If it was Ji Lingzi who was sitting on the phoenix seat now, she might not be able to do anything with Yun Fenglian...... After this thought surfaced, Gu Zhen suddenly relaxed a lot.

The Empress Dowager saw it, just smiled, and said: "Today's wisdom and martial arts are the blessing of the Gongxiang clan, but the emperor is also a human being, and people always have their own preferences." Compared with the Son of Heaven in the past, Jinshang is actually very good. He obviously loves and attaches great importance to the concubine, but he has always pressed not to let the concubine go too far...... Since he didn't let people come forward this time, it can be seen that he acquiesced in handing over Concubine Wan to the concubine to get angry. There is no way to do this, although they are all people who serve the Son of Heaven, but there are so many people in the Three Palaces and Six Courtyards, it is impossible to say that the heart of the Son of Heaven is equally divided! Concubine Min is deeply blessed, and she can make His Majesty's mind on her, but there is no way. ”

"There is only one concubine on the left and right, it has nothing to do with the overall situation, the concubine is willing to be embarrassed, just let them go!"

Seeing that Gu Zhen wanted to speak and stopped, she smiled and reminded, "Anyway, Concubine Wan is not without a maiden family, when the time comes, the Meng family will cry to the Son of Heaven, even if the Son of Heaven is unwilling to deal with the affairs of the harem in person, he will always give the Meng family an explanation...... When the time comes, you will see the will of the Son of Heaven and act accordingly. ”

Gu Zhen said in his heart, this is easy to say, but when the time comes, Chunjia may not be able to scold the palace again.

The Empress Dowager looked at her expression and said with a smile: "But are you afraid that the Son of Heaven will blame you at that time?" ”

"......" Gu Zhen nodded a little embarrassedly, "Daughter-in-law Sun is dull, she has disappointed Your Majesty many times, but she doesn't dare to have anything like it again, well......"

"That's not really much." The Empress Dowager said lightly, "After all, even if it is to show the Meng family, Your Majesty should say a few words to you." But if there is no other punishment to anger in the future, it can be seen that Your Majesty is also unintentional, just talk about you. In that case, as a queen, how can you not be generous? Just listen to it? ”

Gu Zhen said embarrassedly: "But it's a fact that the concubine is stupid...... So the concubine felt ......"

"The mourning family asks you, do you think that even if you have learned to the point of Ling Zi, who is smarter than the Son of Heaven?"

Gu Zhen hurriedly said: "The queen of the Yuan Dynasty is both virtuous and virtuous, and the granddaughter-in-law is far inferior!" But if Your Majesty compares, I'm afraid Your Majesty is superior! ”

The Empress Dowager said: "It's not better, it's far better!" ”

She frankly admitted Chunjia's excellence, "My Ji clan can produce three generations of phoenix masters, how can it be a mediocre family?" The Son of Heaven can step on the power of the Ji family, which shows that my Ji family is not as good as Your Majesty! You think Ling Zi is much better than you, but how much wiser is the Son of Heaven than Ling Zi? It can be seen that no matter how hard you work, you are not as good as the Son of Heaven. Since the Son of Heaven is insurmountable, he thinks you are stupid...... So why should you take it to heart? In his eyes, there are probably few people in the world who are not stupid. ”

These words can't comfort Gu Zhen, mainly because Gu Zhen feels that even if the emperor thinks that there are few people in the world who are not stupid, how many queens can there be in the world?

Even if she is the successor, she is also the master of the six palaces!

Why can't she be smart!

…… What's even sadder is that the emperor thinks she's dull, but certainly doesn't think the concubine is dull.

Otherwise, how could you add the title "Min" to the concubine?

Don't you just think that the concubine is smart!

"Anyway, the words of the Son of Heaven that make you sad and sad, don't take it too seriously." The Empress Dowager sighed softly and said softly, "You are the queen, you should have the heart of the queen, and this open-mindedness is not only to tolerate the six palaces and the imperial heirs, but also to tolerate the Son of Heaven...... After all, husband and wife are one, if you have to deal with him, who else can he tell the truth? ”

Gu Zhen couldn't help but say, "Imperial grandmother, Your Majesty often tells the truth to the concubine!" ”

"The concubine can't accompany him for long, even if she doesn't fall out of favor, when the fifteenth prince grows up and is crowned a vassal domain, she will probably be sent away." The Empress Dowager said indifferently, "The mourning family said that the Son of Heaven is wise and martial, since he plans to pass on the throne to his son-in-law, then even if he will arrange some concubines to practice for his son-in-law, how can he tolerate the people and things that will really threaten his son-in-law?" And he loves the concubine, so he won't let the concubine's mother and son really tear their faces with you, the middle palace lady. After all, after he goes, he still expects you and your sister-in-law to take care of some of the mothers and sons of the Xuanqing Palace! ”

Gu Zhen: "......???!!!! ”

These words came so abruptly that the queen couldn't believe her ears for a while.

If it was before Chunjia had a showdown with her, she would never believe it, and even think that the Empress Dowager was too stinging and too bad for her brain?

But at this moment, she suddenly thought, maybe this inference is very possible?

After all, Yun Fenghuan has been a favorite concubine since she entered the palace, and she is a brutal and flamboyant character, and she has never taken other concubines in her eyes from beginning to end.

Now the royal heirs are still young, especially the two sisters-in-law have not grown up.

Chunjia didn't let go.

Regarding the possibility that the mother and son of the concubine will threaten the middle palace and the concubine, and then cause the royal family to kill each other, and thus internal friction, it is only at the time of suspicion.

But if you wait a few more years, the son-in-law grows up, the princes are also older, and the emperor officially establishes the position of the prince, if the concubine still does not give up, then ......

If Chunjia can't cut through the chaos quickly and sacrifice one party to fulfill the other, what he has to face will inevitably be the fluctuation of people's hearts, the infighting of his children, and even the bloody scene when Shenzong ascended the throne!

This plan is by no means alarmist, after all, once Chunjia connived and acquiesced to the mother and son of the concubine to attack the position of the prince, it was equivalent to giving a signal to the other imperial heirs: the emperor's intention to appoint his son as the prince was not very firm.

Since he can let the concubine's mother and son do this because of his favor, does other people also have a chance?

Even if their mother concubine is not as favored by Chunjia as the noble concubine, maybe they think they are smarter and better than their sister-in-law?

Or do they think that they can pick up the bargain when the concubine and the queen lose both sides of the fight?

Even if you can't be a prince, it's not bad to identify a reliable brother, support him on the throne, and be a favored vassal king.

At that time, it is really hard to say how much Chunjia's many heirs will have to lose.

And Gu Zhen has never doubted Chunjia's wisdom, she can think of it, how could Chunjia not think of it?

He is not a person who drags mud and water, even if he is reluctant to concubine, but ...... If the status of the concubine in his mind overwhelms the society, he will not be on the phoenix throne at this time.

Thinking like this, Gu Zhen felt that she was in a good mood, and even, she was not angry again, and sympathized with Xia Yun Fenghuang......

…… After the Empress left Qingci Palace on this day, the attendant asked the Empress Dowager: "Your Majesty will really let the concubine follow the fifteenth prince to the vassal?" ”
