Jin Xiangdian is discussing politics, and Jing Niang is also there. After the dispersal, a eunuch came to see Jingniang, saying that the queen had summoned her. Jing Niang was taken to the Zide Hall and saw Fu Jinzhan sitting there.

Fu Jinzhan sat on the top seat and looked at Jing Niang with a smile. There were only a few attendants around, and there were no other concubines.

Marigold's posture is dignified and calm, as if everything is under control. Jing Niang made a blessing salute first according to the rules.

Jin Zhan opened his mouth and said: "I heard that the official family took the two princes to the Jinxiang Palace today, what is the matter?" ”

Jing Niang muttered a little when she heard it, the eunuch Cao Tai was also watching in the council hall today, Jing Niang knew that Cao Tai was a person from the marigold, and asked him if it was inconvenient to call himself in?

…… Marigold's gaze stayed on Jing Niang's face, and she saw every subtle demeanor of Jing Niang.

As soon as she returned to the palace, she asked all the things that happened in the days after she left the palace, one of which was the quarrel between Jing Niang and Li Yueji.

Marigold is to test Jing Niang's posture in front of her.

In fact, in the harem, the person who gives her the most headache is Jing Niang! Judging from what happened last time, this person seems to be a little arrogant. If Jing Niang disobeys herself in public in the future, she is at fault, is Marigold a punishment or a punishment?

Jingniang's bottom is fine, and the marigold is clear. Marigold is now the queen, and it is easy to deal with Jing Niang, but with Guo Shao Jien's temperament, he definitely does not want to see Jing Niang being dealt with by calculations.

Therefore, Fu Jinzhan deliberately paid attention to this person, and there were two better ways to see the situation, one was to win over harmonious coexistence, and the other was to send him to a place where it was not easy to conflict with Marigold, and the well water would not interfere with the river water.

Summoned her to meet today, there were no concubines by Jinzhan's side, so she saved embarrassment in public before she couldn't touch Jingniang. so that there is more than enough to advance and retreat.

Marigold's gaze swept over Jing Niang's tall and full chest, thinking that she was close to Guo Shao and being relied on as a confidant regardless of public or private occasions, Marigold was really unhappy. But she's not someone who doesn't know how to back down.

At this moment, Jing Niang spoke: "Back to the queen, the official family has found a teacher for the two princes. ”

Hearing this, Marigold secretly relaxed a little, and continued to ask slowly, "Who are they?" ”

Jing Niang said: "The household servant Zuo You teaches Mengxue, and the military generals Dong Zunzhi and Zhou Tong teach martial arts. ”

Marigold said with a smile: "When the official family was still in the Fu family, Zhou Tong also taught the official family, and now he teaches his prince. ”

She made a special trip to mention the emperor's past in the Fu family, and also reminded Jing Niang to recognize the contrast of strength. Jing Niang should actually understand the relationship between Marigold and the emperor, and Jing Niang also participated in sending secret letters back then.

Jing Niang bowed: "The official archery is like a god, a hundred steps through Yang, Zhou Tong teaches well." ”

Fu Jinzhan was even more satisfied when she saw her speak and bowed, and said in a casual tone: "There is one more thing, Madame Hua Rui has an old favor with you?" ”

Jing Niang said: "The queen is discerning. ”

Marigold pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "The Duke of Qin is just a captive, if Jing Niang can't take care of it, Lady Hua Rui is afraid that she will be uneasy in the Duke of Qin's mansion." Today, Wu Yue has fallen, and the Qin State is a disciple. You go out of the palace to get a cup of poisoned wine and let him die, and then you will say that he is infected with the disease and dies. ”

When Jing Niang heard this, she immediately raised her head and looked at the marigold, with a look of surprise on her face.

Marigold said: "Since Mrs. Hua Rui has entered the palace to serve and sleep, how can there be a woman favored by the emperor who goes back to serve other men?" ”

Jing Niang said in a deep voice: "The Duke of Qin was once the lord of Shu, should I ask the official family about this matter?" ”

Marigold shook her head and said, "I'll tell him when I'm done." The official family did not kill Meng Chang before, so there must be a reason why he didn't kill him, or he was benevolent. It is best for someone else to do such things for him, and you will say that I am the Lord of the work. ”

Jing Niang hesitated for a moment and said, "Obey." ”

…… Guo Shao only heard the next day that Meng Chang was infected and died violently.

He asked about the situation, and he was a little relieved. Guo Shao's benevolence to Meng Chang was really for the sake of face, and he attacked and destroyed Shu back then, but he also mobilized the army to fight hard, so that Meng Chang killed Guo Shao without any guilt.

Guo Shao was suddenly a little grateful to Marigold Heart, no one could count this matter on his head, because he didn't know!

He asked Mrs. Hua Rui again how she was, and the eunuch Dao was taken into the palace by Jing Niang.

Guo Shao wanted to see Mrs. Hua Rui, but temporarily dismissed the idea...... Because he remembered the eunuch's report, this matter was done by Jing Niang who received the decree of the marigold, which was a little strange. What's going on between them, Guo Shao wants to see if he wants to talk about it.

After he got off duty, he ignored Mrs. Hua Rui and went to Lu Lan first, but it was to see Xiao Xuan.

This time, Wang Zhong followed, and Bai and Lu Niangzi were there. Occasionally, Guo Shao would think that the strength and weakness of the Liao State could not be reversed by one person, and he wanted to trade Xiao Sui, especially when he wanted to deal with the party in Xiazhou.

But he has never been able to let go, and there is an obsession in his heart, and the prediction of the historical future will affect decision-making very much, after all, the future Empress Dowager Xiao will be very powerful. Such an obsession, as well as Guo Shao's determination that the Xiazhou Party would establish the Western Xia...... Although now it seems that the area is quite docile.

Guo Shao glanced at Lu Lan, who had a look of joy on his face, and said quietly: "When Lu Niangzi is free, you can go to the West Queen of Zide Hall to walk around more, the queen likes you very much." ”

Lu Niangzi replied with some confusion.

Guo Shao looked at the teenage Xiao Xuan again, she was wearing a small hat, it was estimated that the top of her head was shaved, and she also looked at herself curiously.

Guo Shao asked casually: "Do you have a habit of living in the palace?" ”

Xiao Sui was not hostile, and replied in Chinese with a jerky accent: "It's good, Aunt Bai treats me well, and His Majesty the Emperor didn't bully me." ”

Guo Shao smiled and nodded, looking at her sturdy body, and said, "When you are in Liao, will you ride a horse and hunt, it may be more boring here." ”

Xiao Xuan said: "Yes, but I also like to read and write like a Han'er." ”

This little lady's voice is still childish, but Guo Shao pondered it and felt that she was not simple, since she caught her, Xiao Sui has never disobeyed herself, and her words are a little flattering...... If you think about it, it's really the only way she's safest.

Guo Shao said again: "Xiao Siwen and I have fought, in the heart of the little lady, what kind of person is your father?" ”

Xiao Xuan's head tilted slightly, and his eyes rolled around: "My father can ride a horse and shoot arrows, and he can also read and write." He was very kind to Han'er, saying that the Central Plains Dynasty was the most remarkable country outside of the Great Liao. ”

Guo Shao thought a little more highly of Xiao Xuan after hearing this, could it be that people in this era are precocious? I'm only ten years old and sensible, and I'll be able to pay it back in the future?

He smiled quietly, "Your father knows how to respect his opponents, so he is a wise man." ”

Xiao Sui said again: "Dad also said that His Majesty the Emperor is benevolent and righteous, and he doesn't hate you. If Your Majesty gives it back to my father, he will definitely thank Your Majesty, and he will send him a lot of cattle and sheep treasures. ”

Guo Shao smiled, pointed to Xiao Sui's head and said: "Mrs. Bai asked Mrs. Xiao to keep her hair, I don't like the head style of the hair, although Mrs. Xiao is a Khitan, but she just follows the customs." ”

Bai bent his knees and said, "Obey." ”

Xiao Xuan said with an innocent face: "Why? ”

Wang Zhong next to him couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty doesn't like hair, so I asked you to dress up nicely and sleep well." ”

"Ah......" Xiao Sui almost cried, "You won't let me go back?" ”

Wang Zhong said: "Xiao Niangzi is a Khitan noble woman, and it is not easy to catch you." If the ransom price is too high, Liao Guo is reluctant, after all, he is just a little lady; But if it's too low, the official family is rich all over the world, and they look down on it! ”

Guo Shao glanced at Wang Zhong and smiled at Xiao Sui: "Take your heart and stay in Tokyo with peace of mind." Your Aunt Bai was also snatched away by your father, isn't it fair for us to exchange gifts? ”

……

Li Yueji has been very uncomfortable recently, the eunuchs and palace maids in her palace are very unconcerned about their work, they all deal with things, and they can't even wash her clothes!

On this day, she passed by the wall and heard someone talking behind her, so she stopped her attendant and stood there listening.

A voice said: "We are also unlucky enough, why did we come to the palace of the virtuous concubine?" ”

Another eunuch's voice said: "At first, the miscellaneous family was happy, thinking that although Concubine Xian was a member of the party, she was one of the three ladies, at least she had a famous position. ”

"Alas, the title of Concubine Xian, I don't know how long it will last?"

"As soon as the war starts, it will have to be abolished, how can there be a traitor's wife as the third lady?"

"Really going to war?"

"I heard from the father-in-law of the Inner Servant Province that the outer court is talking about this every day. It is said that the party is colluding with Daxu's enemy, Liao, and is at both ends of the snake and rat, to blackmail the imperial court......"

Li Yueji was taken aback when she heard this, first she was suspicious of the letter, and then she thought of the sudden change in treatment for a while, and immediately believed it. She turned her head to look at the entourage beside her, who were silent.

Her mind was up and down, and she was about to leave.

I also listened to the eunuch who chewed his tongue and said: "The party is unreliable, and the imperial court wanted to fight Youzhou at the beginning, because it was afraid that the party would collude with the Liao people on the back of the abdomen, so the marriage stabilized the northwest." This time, the Liao State was defeated, and the party was determined to not be able to run, and there was another battle. ”

"If you catch Li Yiyin, you must be killed. Meng Chang died violently, have you heard......"

Hearing that the two slaves actually said her father, Li Yueji was very angry, but after thinking about it, she went up and scolded her to make a move, but she was embarrassed. She returned to the dormitory sullenly.

Li Yueji sat down on the chair a little distracted, and asked the palace maids who often served by her side: "What the two gossiping eunuchs just now said is true?" ”

The palace maid curtsied and said: "Hui Xian Concubine Niangniang, a slave and maid woman, how do you know about national affairs?" ”

Li Yueji said: "Doesn't the eunuch also talk about the truth? ”

The palace woman said: "The eunuchs are different, and they are under the control of the internal servants." The eunuchs of the inner province often went in and out of the outer court, and listened to many things inside and outside the court. Slaves and maids have not stepped out of Xuanyoumen for almost ten years. ”

She hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "The slave and the maid have a ...... If what those eunuchs said is true, and Niangniang is not favored, I am afraid that Niangniang will really go to Wanfu Palace in the future. ”

Li Yueji said: "Wanfu Palace? ”
