Chapter VIII

Prayer Cloud Hall. Ling Yi saluted Ling Tian, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Yesterday's great victory, congratulations to the emperor." Ling Tian bowed slightly and said with a smile.

"Your Royal Highness the Third Princess, don't you know, Zhu Daxiangguo's expression when he left yesterday was really wonderful," After Ling Yi sat down, Yang Gonggong beside him couldn't wait to say, his face was full of joy of winning the battle, "It is said that Zhu Xiangguo went home and rested directly without even eating." ”

Ling Tian smiled, although she was not present, she could also imagine the scene where Zhu Xiangguo left with a black face. She was very satisfied with her imperial brother, and she was a little worried that the imperial brother was young and couldn't fight against Zhu Yi, who was good at calculation, although this time it was only a small victory, but it also reassured her a lot.

"It's just that Your Majesty used General Su Jue to return to the palace as an excuse, and the queen didn't know about it in advance, right?" Sun Yaruo glanced at Ling Yi, who was smiling, and said suddenly.

"She really doesn't know," Ling Yi nodded, "But if you want to seal the queen, I can only take this move, otherwise Zhu Xiangguo will not compromise easily." ”

"When she went back yesterday, was she angry?" Ling Tian asked.

"Not ...... Not angry. Ling Yi shook his head and took a big sip of hot tea, "The queen is smart, and she doesn't have peace with me...... Caring ......"

It's not angry, is it...... When it was first announced yesterday, Su Yao's face was pale, without a trace of blood, Ling Yi was very worried, but after the banquet ended, Su Yao seemed to return to normal, talking to her by herself, she also smiled and agreed, when she returned to Fengqi Palace, she only said that she was tired and went to bed first, but when Ling Yi got into bed, she kicked out of bed before the quilt was covered. Ling Yi looked at Su Yao a little confused, but found that she had her eyes closed, and there were words in her mouth, saying "sleepwalking...... sleepwalking". Ling Yi was speechless, and said don't make trouble, and as soon as she got into bed, she was kicked down again, does this girl belong to a donkey...... After trying several times in a row, Ling Yi had no choice, so he hit the floor. It's miserable! It's miserable! On the first night after the book, I actually laid a bunk in the queen's bedroom, is there an emperor in this world who is more miserable than me?! The next day, when Ling recalled it, Su Yao still looked at him with a surprised look on his face and asked him why he was laying on the floor? Why don't you go to bed? Ling Yi was speechless, only silently watching this thing pretending to be pitiful with tears in his eyes, and raised 10,000 middle fingers in his heart.

It is estimated that the floor will be laid for the next few nights. It's miserable...... But fortunately, the floor in Fengqi Palace is not too hard, and he can still sleep, and he and Su Yao have slept in at least one dormitory...... Rounding it up is to sleep with her in my arms. Thinking like this, Ling Yi seemed to feel a little better in his heart.

"Su Yao is the queen, she should share her worries more for Your Majesty, and it is really inappropriate to play a child's temper willfully." After Ling Yi left, Sun Yaruo said to Ling Tian, the emperor's expression just now was even more ugly than crying, as long as it wasn't a straw bag like Su Yi'er, anyone could see that Ling Yi slept unsteadily last night.

"The words can't be said so absolutely." Ling Tian pursed his lips and said lightly, "Although the imperial brother has no choice, he did use Su Yao as a shield, Su Yao has been guarding the border all year round, and he has not been home for a long time, so it is natural for Su Yao to be angry." From your point of view, if someone moves your eldest brother, will you not be angry because that person is the emperor? ”

"What does he have to do with me? He's so smart, who would have the brains to calculate him? Sun Yaruo paused, then her voice became a little louder, and there was a little more panic in her eyes.

"Your eldest brother entered the palace yesterday, did he come to see you?" Looking at her appearance, Ling Tian smiled.

"It's coming, it's coming, but it's only a couple of words and then it's gone." Sun Yaruo pursed her lips and said angrily.

"You are both officials in the palace, and you still miss it so much, Su Yao and her eldest brother are thousands of miles apart, have you ever thought about the feelings in her heart?" Ling Tian looked at Sun Yaruo and shook his head lightly and said.

"I didn't miss him much." Although she said this, Sun Yaruo had the idea of knowing more about the little girl in her heart.

Fengqi Palace.

Su Yao was called up by Xiaohuan early in the morning, and Xiaohuan said that the palace concubines wanted to see her.

Su Yao only stretched and told Xiaohuan to wash herself, and no one grabbed the quilt to sleep comfortably. It was only one night after she was named the queen, and the congratulatory gifts from the various palaces were already piled up in Fengqi Palace, this speed, Su Yao couldn't help but admire, not only that, Ling Tian also sent dozens of palace maids to serve her, the palace maids who came and went saw Su Yao's eyes glazed, and she didn't understand what made them so busy that they couldn't stop, the previous deserted Fengqi Palace suddenly became lively, and Su Yao was really a little unaccustomed.

There were not many concubines in the palace, and they knelt in front of Su Yao in unison and said to meet the queen mother. They are so good-looking, seeing them, Su Yao is sure that Ling Yi was perfunctory by praising her for her good looks yesterday.

Su Yao said lightly, swept around but didn't find Su Yi'er, it's really strange, Su Yi'er, as one of the three ladies in the harem, should take the lead in meeting her, isn't that straw bag so stupid that she can't even remember the rules in the palace?

"The queen is looking for Concubine Su?" Su Yao was still thinking about it, when a nice voice interrupted her thoughts. She looked at it, although the girl was not as good-looking as Ling Tian, she could also be described as a fairy, especially the pair of peach blossom eyes, full of charm, "Concubine Su was caught with a cold last night and was not in good health, so I asked the concubine to tell her on her behalf." ”

Su Yao nodded, it turned out that he was hiding, but how could this straw bag hide for a lifetime, everyone is in the harem, there will always be a day when they meet, Su Yao sighed softly, such a person can actually sit in the position of the concubine, Lord Zhu Xiangguo is really powerful. Su Yao looked at the peach blossom eyes, and was very curious, looking at her clothes, she should also be one of the three ladies, Su Yao had heard Ling Tian say that before she was named the queen, the three ladies would jointly manage all the big and small affairs of the harem. In addition to Su Yier, there are also Concubine Zhu Shijin and Concubine Shuguan Yuan.

said that it was jointly managed by the three of them, and Su Yier's straw bag was an ornament. The affairs of the harem were actually divided by the latter two, and were divided into two parties according to the east and west, the east was managed by Zhu Shijin, and the west was handed over to Shangguan Yuan. At that time, the emperor had just succeeded to the throne, and the country was in ruins, so he turned a blind eye and acquiesced in the matter.

Su Yao is already the queen and should be in charge of the harem, but after nearly two years of precipitation, the two forces are deeply rooted, and it may not be easy to take back the power of the harem from them. Thinking of this, Su Yao felt that her head was big, she didn't want to be like Su Yi'er, an old vase placed in the harem. For the sake of Daddy and Auntie, for the sake of the eldest brother, she must be the real master of the harem.

"Niangniang just came to the harem, and it's normal not to know the concubine." Seeing that Su Yao didn't speak, Peach Blossom covered her mouth and smiled, "Another day, I will invite Niangniang to come to my Yingxuan Palace more often, and I can also let Niangniang know more about the things in the palace." ”

Hearing her say this, Xiaohuan's face was a little ugly, she wanted to say something, but finally held back.

Yingxuan Palace...... Then this peach blossom eye should be Concubine Zhu Shijin, Su Yao thought in her heart, she is not a fool, and she can understand people's words, but this daughter of the Zhu family is too arrogant, and she dares to let the queen visit her, saying this, it is clear that she is not the queen in her eyes.

"Concubine De is too frivolous, so rude in front of the queen." After a short silence, a hostile voice sounded, Su Yao looked at the owner of the voice, the girl's appearance was not inferior to Zhu Shijin at all, a pair of apricot eyes were clear and moving, and the delicate face made people unable to take their eyes off.

dared to argue with Concubine De face to face, if it wasn't a straw bag, it should be Concubine Shuguan Yuan, who shared the entire harem equally with the peach blossom eyes.

"Where is the lady lady?" Feeling Shangguan Yuan's unkind gaze, Zhu Shijin smiled and made a puzzled look, "How can this palace not understand?" ”

The ability to pretend to be stupid really can't compare to you. Su Yao didn't speak, just watched quietly, now she has no name or power, and she can't do anything to the daughter of the Zhu family.

"Hmph, I don't have the ability to be a queen, but I have the ability to pretend to be stupid." Shangguan Yuan snorted coldly, and said lightly in his throat, "It's really incompetent." ”

Didn't you just say you couldn't be rude to me? Su Yao was speechless.

"You ......" was scarred, Zhu Shi was angry, and then smiled contemptuously, "Where is Shang Niangniang, Bengong is getting more and more confused when he hears it." ”

Shangguan Yuan's surname is Shangguan, although the Shangguan family is not as good as the four major families, but it is also the founding hero, the Su family has been weak in recent years, and the Shangguan family has wanted to squeeze out the Su family more than once and replace its position in the four major clans. Zhu Shijin deliberately called Shangguan Yuan Shang Niangniang, making it clear that she looked down on her family, and she was clearly provoking her.

"Zhu Shijin, are you really looking for death?" Shangguan Yuan was furious, although she was beautiful and moving, she was notoriously short-tempered, and every year there was no shortage of palace maids who made mistakes and were directly killed by her.

"Ah Shang Niang Niang is angry, this palace is dull, I really don't know what is wrong, and I hope that Shang Niang Niang will forgive her sins......" and two "Shang Niang Niang", although Zhu Shijin's voice is pitiful and sincere, but her face is full of disdain and provocation.

"Don't be impatient, you two......" Su Yao coughed lightly, without saying a word, is it really transparent to me? These two things don't take me seriously, don't I lose face as a queen?

Seeing Su Yao speak, both of them shut up, although this queen mother is only nominal, and in their opinion, there is no threat, but with the support of the emperor and the third princess, they still have to give some face, of course, just to give some face.

"The queen mother, they are too much, simply, they don't take you seriously." After the palace concubines left, Xiaohuan said to Su Yao, who didn't seem to have happened, her little face was unconvinced, "You are the queen mother, they are under you, and they are so rude......"

"It seems a bit excessive...... Su Yao thought about it, the lady concubine didn't take her seriously at all, she only regarded her as air, and that concubine even let herself go to see her. But even so, what can Su Yao do, she can only let them be majestic first, and when she personally holds the power of the harem in her hands, they will not dare to do this to themselves.

"It's not just a little, Niangniang......" Xiaohuan said angrily, "They are too arrogant, Niangniang, can you bear this too?" ”

"What if you can't bear it?" Su Yao shrugged.

"You can go to the emperor, the emperor loves you so much, as long as they say a word, they won't dare to be disrespectful to you anymore." Xiaohuan thought for a moment and said.

"It's not as easy as you think." Su Yao smiled and gently scratched her nose, "It is absolutely difficult to convince the public to get the harem through the emperor's help, and if you don't rely on your own strength to take over the power, you can't manage so many people in the harem." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Xiaohuan scratched her head, she didn't think about it that much.

"That means that during this time, we still have to let them." Su Yao glanced at Xiaohuan and said.

"Huh? I don't want to look at their faces anymore. Xiaohuan pursed her mouth and was instantly deflated.

"When I didn't become a queen before, didn't I come here like this?" Su Yao shook her head and said.

"It was different then, now that the queen mother has been sealed, you are now the largest in the entire harem, just like the emperor in the court." Xiaohuan said a little anxiously.

"Even if it is the emperor, there are many things in the court that cannot come according to their own wishes, and we are the same in the harem." Zhu Shijin has the entire Zhu family as the backing, if it weren't for Ling Yi calling his eldest brother back to the palace as an introduction to make Zhu Yi deflated, the position of the queen may really be taken away by Zhu Shijin, Shangguan Yuan also has a strength that cannot be underestimated, and now their Su family is weak, and it is really urgent to take back the power of the harem from these two people, and it is really impatient, and it is necessary to think about it in the long run.

These two people are no better than Su Yier, and they are not fuel-efficient lamps......

Prayer Cloud Hall.

Sun Yaruo poured hot tea for Ling Tian and said, "Today, the concubines in the palace visited the queen mother, I'm afraid those two have already met her." ”

"Zhu Shijin, Shangguan Yuan......" Ling Tian took a sip of hot tea, thoughtfully, "A daughter of the Zhu family, a daughter of the Shangguan family, two years ago, because many things in the country need to be properly resolved, we handed over the entire harem to them, but I didn't expect that two years later, the harem was turned into like this by them...... Now that Su Yao is sitting in the position of the queen, I don't know if she can solve the situation of the harem division for us. ”

"These two people are not easy to deal with...... Sun Yaruo paused for a moment and said, "Do you want me to ......?"

"No need," Ling Tian interrupted Sun Yaruo before she could finish speaking, "This can't be solved overnight. Just pay attention to it, and talk about it when you really need to make a move. ”

"Yes, Your Highness Princess."
