Chapter 543: The Struggle for the Throne
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
After Liu Xiu became the emperor, his style of acting was not much different from before he became the emperor, and the difference in identity only made his aura stronger.
A minister like Song Hong who bluntly pointed out his shortcomings, Liu Xiu not only did not have any blame, but would also humbly correct it.
Since Liu Xiu was told by Song Hong this time, Liu Xiu's study has never appeared in a picture of a beauty, and his little habit has just sprouted, and it was successfully stifled by Song Hong's words.
A few days later, Guo Shengtong and Xu Xiling finally arrived in Luoyang. Now Guo Shengtong, her belly is already very big, and the whole person is fatter than before.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, she was supported by Xu Xiling and slowly walked out of the carriage.
Looking at the majestic and splendid palace in front of them, Guo Shengtong and Xu Xiling were amazed from the bottom of their hearts.
At this time, Liu Xiu came out of the palace, and when he saw Guo Shengtong and Xu Xiling, Liu Xiu's face was full of joy, his pace quickened, and he said excitedly: "Shengtong, Xiling!" ”
"Your Majesty!" Guo Shengtong and Xu Xiling saluted Liu Xiufu together. Liu Xiu stepped forward quickly, hugged Guo Shengtong's jade arm, and waved her hand to Xu Xiling, signaling that she didn't need to be polite.
Liu Xiu held Guo Shengtong's arm, while she sat in her carriage, and asked at the same time: "Shengtong has traveled this way, is it still smooth?" ”
Guo Shengtong turned his head to look at Xu Xiling, who followed the car, and said, "Thanks to Xiling for taking good care of me along the way. ”
As she spoke, she deliberately stroked her bulging belly and said, "Xiling also gave me a lot of good medicine to stabilize the fetus." ”
Xu Xiling, who followed the car, knelt beside him, lowered his head, and did not say a word.
Guo Shengtong said this, he was taking preventive shots in advance, if there was something wrong with the fetus in her womb, then it must be related to Xu Xiling.
During this period of getting along, Xu Xiling did take good care of her, but what Xu Xiling had in mind, of course Guo Shengtong could also detect one or two.
What Xu Xiling wants is by no means the identity of a subordinate, but to become His Majesty's woman like himself.
may not even be aware of Liu Xiu himself, the palace fighting drama that has not changed for thousands of years has been quietly unfolding around him.
There is only one Son of Heaven, but there are too many women in the palace, everyone wants to be favored by the Son of Heaven, how can there be no contradiction in the middle?
The accommodation arranged by Liu Xiu for Guo Shengtong is Ah Ge. Ah Ge is located on the west side of the Imperial Palace, its south is Lantai and Yuntai, north is Changqiu Palace and West Palace, the environment is quiet and beautiful.
When the carriage arrived at Ah Ge, Hua Feiyan stood at the gate, and when she saw Liu Xiu and Guo Shengtong getting out of the carriage, she blessed herself and said, "Your Majesty, Madam!" ”
Seeing Hua Feiyan, Guo Shengtong and Xu Xiling were both stunned, first looked her up and down, and then looked at Liu Xiu in puzzlement.
Liu Xiu introduced with a smile: "This is Hua Feiyan, during this time, Feiyan has to live in the palace temporarily, and now most of the affairs of the palace are taken care of by Feiyan, which really helps me share a lot." ”
When Guo Shengtong heard this, he walked up to Hua Feiyan very enthusiastically and said with a smile: "It turned out to be a non-smoking girl." ”
Hua Feiyan bowed to Guo Shengtong and said, "Feiyan has seen Mrs. ”
Guo Shengtong's impression of Hua Feiyan is not bad, at least much better than that of Xu Xiling. Xu Xiling was born too charming, and every time he saw his husband, the emotions revealed in his eyes were too many and complicated, which made Guo Shengtong's heart extremely uncomfortable, but Hua Feiyan did not have these, just plain and cold
A clear woman.
"Non-smoking girls don't have to be polite."
"Non-smoke has made people clean up Ah Ge, madam, please!"
Guo Shengtong nodded with a smile and turned his head to look at Liu Xiu. The latter took her by the arm and walked into Ah Ge. The courtyard of Ah Ge is very large, and there is a garden in it, planted with flowers and trees, and walking in it is like entering a paradise.
Hua Feiyan didn't arrange too many subordinates in Ah Ge, only two attendants and two maidservants. For such a large palace, only these four subordinates are naturally far from enough, but Guo Shengtong is very satisfied with Hua Feiyan's arrangement.
This is where she is about to stay, and the people here will naturally be all her people, only in this way, she can live more at ease, obviously, Hua Feiyan has thought of it a little in advance.
However, Liu Xiu didn't expect that he had never put much thought into the affairs of the harem.
Looking at the two chamberlains and the two maidservants who followed behind, he said to Hua Feiyan: "Ah Ge only has four palace people, some are too few. ”
Before Hua Feiyan could speak, Guo Shengtong took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, when the concubines came, they also brought the servants who were used to calling on weekdays. ”
Liu Xiu showed a look of sudden realization and said with a smile: "It seems that I am too worried." ”
Everyone walked into the main hall of Ah Ge, and Guo Shengtong was also very satisfied with everything in the main hall.
The day after Guo Shengtong arrived in Luoyang, Liu Xiu canonized Guo Shengtong as a nobleman.
Liu Xiu's harem does not have too many hierarchical divisions, except for the palace, which is the most noble noble, but Liu Xiu's canonization is still beyond many people's expectations.
Guo Shengtong is Liu Xiu's wife, and she is also pregnant, in people's minds, the position of the queen is none other than Guo Shengtong, but in fact, Liu Xiu did not canonize Guo Shengtong as the queen, but as a nobleman.
For Liu Xiu's canonization, the ministers were quite surprised, and Guo Shengtong himself was very dissatisfied.
Guo Shengtong failed to sit on the throne, Xu Xiling was not the slightest happy about this, but became more and more worried.
Liu Xiu did not canonize Guo Shengtong as the queen, there is only one possibility, that is, in Liu Xiu's mind, Guo Shengtong is not the best candidate for the queen, so who will be the best candidate in his heart?
I'm afraid that except for Yin Lihua, there will be no second person. Yin Lihua has been absent from Liu Xiu's side for almost two years, and for such a long time, Liu Xiu still thinks about Yin Lihua, and is still thinking about reserving the back position for Yin Lihua
The status will not be shaken, and Xu Xiling is naturally worried about this.
Xu Xiling, who learned the news, came to Age to see Guo Shengtong as soon as possible.
Looking at Xu Xiling who walked in from outside, Guo Shengtong's mood became more and more resentful, she held her big belly, slowly stood in shape, and said, "Xiling came to see my jokes?" ”
She is obviously a wife, and she is obviously pregnant, but she was only named a nobleman, and even she herself thought it was too ridiculous.
Xu Xiling saluted Guo Shengtong and said, "Madam misunderstood, Xiling didn't mean this!" ”
Guo Shengtong's face sank, and he said: "Xiling seems to have forgotten that I have now been named a nobleman!" The implication is that Xu Xiling still calls her Mrs. now, which is out of place.
Xu Xiling glanced at Guo Shengtong, walked up to him, carefully supported her arm, let her sit down slowly, and said, "Madame should be the queen, but now she is a nobleman, can Madame be willing?" ”
Guo Shengtong raised his eyebrows, looked at Xu Xiling in surprise, and asked, "Xiling wants me to be the queen?" ”
Xu Xiling said: "Mrs. is the wife of the lord, and she is pregnant with the heirs of the lord, now the lord is the emperor, and the lady is not the queen, who should be the queen?" ”
Her words entered Guo Shengtong's heart. The latter stared at Xu Xiling for a long time, and seeing that she was not hypocritical when she said this, her face finally softened a little. She sighed softly and lowered her head, sad.
Xu Xiling said: "Your Majesty does not make Mrs. the queen, just because there is one person. ”
Guo Shengtong's eyes flashed, and he muttered, "It's yin...... Mrs. Yin ......" Xu Xiling nodded, looked left and right, and then knelt down beside Guo Shengtong. Guo Shengtong waved his hand to the handmaidens around him and retreated left and right. When the servants all went out, Xu Xiling said: "The lord has two wives, and now he is only a husband
People are nobles, but Mrs. Yin is not canonized, can't Mrs. still see His Majesty's plans? ”
Guo Shengtong's expression was even more sad, and he said, "Your Majesty wants to canonize Lady Yin as the queen!" Xu Xiling didn't speak again, and acquiesced to Guo Shengtong's guess. Guo Shengtong's eyes were red, and he said with a choked voice: "Since I married His Majesty, I have fought with His Majesty in the north and south, I am in the military camp, and I have suffered so much, I have never complained, but Yin."
Madame is far away in Nanyang, and has been living in peace, Your Majesty...... How can you do this to me? ”
"Shi Eun should be the ruling Jinwu, and marrying a wife should be Yin Lihua. Your Majesty's feelings for Madame Yin, didn't Madame already know? Now Mrs. Yin is on the way to and from Luoyang, once Mrs. Yin arrives in Luoyang, Mrs. is afraid that ......" At this point, Xu Xiling deliberately paused and did not continue to say, but the meaning is already obvious, as long as Yin Lihua arrives in Luoyang, Guo Shengtong will inevitably fall out of favor, not to mention that he will not be able to take the throne, even if the current noble title can be kept,
It's all about it!
Xu Xiling glanced at Guo Shengtong deeply with a worried face, couldn't help but sigh, stood up, and said, "Madam, Xiling retired first." ”
She took two steps back and said, "Madame must know that Xiling sincerely hopes that Madame will be the last." With that, she turned and walked out. Looking at Xu Xiling's back, Guo Shengtong fell into deep thought. Although Xu Xiling didn't directly pick out her words, but what she meant, Guo Shengtong can already understand, as long as Yin Lihua arrives in Luoyang, she will immediately fall out of favor, and when Yin Lihua arrives, she is just
A noble person will be crushed to death by Yin Lihua.
If you want to change such an ending, there is only one way to prevent Yin Lihua from going to Luoyang.
But Yin Lihua has legs and feet, how could she stop a big living person from coming to Luoyang? There is only one way, and that is to make Yin Lihua, a big living person, become a dead person.
Only in this way can she keep the favor she has received and then get the back position. Thinking of this, Guo Shengtong lowered his head, his eyes were dark, and there was a faint flash of sharp light. Xu Xiling left Ah Ge and went back to her own residence, and the four maids Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju stepped forward one after another and whispered, "Why does Miss want to help Guo Guiren?" ”
