Zhao Guangyi's anger was sent to Concubine Shu, and it was also sent to the Pan family behind Concubine Shu, he felt more and more that Pan Mei had been pampered and arrogant in recent months, and today he had the audacity to mention the matter of sealing Zhao Tingmei, the king of Qin, as the prince, but Zhao Tingmei was also a self-conscious, and he relied on his status as a royal brother to ask for the title on his own, Wei Wang Yuanzuo, Chu Wang Defang argued with reason, and there was a counselor to participate in the performance, so the matter was temporarily shelved, Zhao Guangyi was already angry in the palace, and after the court, he heard the palace people talking about Pan Long's coveting of the county lord and the secret assistance of the concubine, The palace people's words were not careful, undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire, when even if they each received twenty palm punishments, plus they had to report the rash of the county lord, the Empress Dowager Zhou was angry, the front and the harem, pile by pile, were stirred into a mess by the Pan father and daughter, several waves of anger and made one place, all sprinkled in the Chunjin Pavilion.

Pan Surong didn't know about the court, but Pan Mei knew, so when he learned that Concubine Shu was punished and the two sons were demoted, he was not very surprised. ”

The little guy bowed and replied, "The official family also said that the merits of our Pan family are not worth mentioning compared to the Fu family, so let the mother not be arrogant, act recklessly, and meddle in the royal private affairs at will." ”

Pan Mei gave birth to a pair of narrow triangular eyes, every time she contemplated, she would always squint her eyes into a slit, but she couldn't hide the treachery at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes. ”

Pan Mei sat on the chair slowly, her tone did not hear the urgency, Pan Bao was impatient, he finally got an official position, but now he was punished for this wrongdoing, and immediately stepped forward and asked, "Father, what do you mean?" It's time to think of a rut for your son. ”

Pan Mei raised her eyes and glanced at him, Fang retreated left and right, let them sit on her side, and asked in a low voice, "Father took the risk in the court today to ask for the title of King Qin as Prince of Qin, do you know why?" ”

Pan Long lowered his eyes and pondered, and responded, "Zhao Tingmei, the king of Qin, is arrogant and domineering, and he is quite involved with Lu Duoxun, the secretary of the military department, father, I will never want to win this person into an alliance!" ”

Pan Mei sneered, "King Qin is ignorant and courageless, and he only knows how to drink and have fun when he ascends to the sky in one step, and he discusses the government in vain, the three princes of today's official family, plus the King of Chu in the Southern Qing Palace, are all more strategic than their uncle Wang, what am I going to do to win over a straw bale prince?" ”

"Then why did the father bother to offend the official family" Pan Bao took over the conversation, "The eldest sister punished Yu Lu for this, and was scolded by the official family, I am afraid that life will be difficult." ”

Before the words fell, she was frightened and silenced by Pan Meiyi's reproachful eyes, "If your sister hadn't been reckless because of your actions, how could she have ended up like this, Long'er, my father always thought that you had a strategy, but you were so confused emotionally, you are not allowed to provoke that girl in the future, and your father does not have so much energy to deal with the Nanqing Palace and the Fu family for the time being." ”

"Father~" Pan Long raised his eyes and wanted to defend, but when he saw Pan Mei glaring angrily, Pan Bao also quietly grabbed his arm, so he had to be silent.

Pan Mei saw that her son wanted to refute but had to endure the expression, she only sighed and shook her head, although she was unhappy in her heart, she didn't blame too much in the end, and re-picked up the words of the above and said, "On the day of the succession of the official family, the first prince Dezhao stained the hall with blood, the first emperor and Queen Song were ordered to practice, and the king of Chu entered the palace overnight, but he only fell with the name of a virtuous king and a golden mace, too many unreasonable, too many secrets, the first Taizu can decorate the yellow robe and body text as Chen Qiao to give way, how can the current official family not be able to decorate the candle shadow axe and sound text as a brother and brother!" ”

"Father means that the official family is usurped..."Pan Bao subconsciously silenced, looking at his father with a shocked face, Pan Mei cast a beam of scrutinizing eyes, seemed to have some contempt for her son's fuss, shook the sleeves of her robe and said, "The emperor's family!" Throughout the ages, who has not stepped on the blood of his closest relatives to ascend to the throne, benevolent and benevolent fathers, it is all vain. ”

Pan Long realized the meaning of his father's words at this time, and said, "It is precisely because the official family in order to confirm their own throne to get the name of the justifiable, put forward the 'brother to the end of the brother and', I am afraid that the King of Qin will pay attention to this, so he deliberately snubbed and hit his power, worried that he is full of wings and covets the throne, and his father's temptation happened to hit the weakness of the official family, the more the official family cares about the power of the King of Qin, the more it shows that he is not open-minded, and there is another hidden situation in the matter of the throne, and we and Niangniang are just adding fuel to the fire at this time, so naturally the brunt of the attack, the official family is to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys." ”

Before Pan Long's words fell, Pan Mei laughed and praised, "Wu'er is not confused, although he was punished, he also found out the lifeblood of the emperor, and he didn't lose this move for his father." ”

Pan Long and Pan Leopard looked at each other and smiled, raising their arms to compliment, "Father is wise."

Zhao Defang got the letter, always hanging his heart, Zhao Guangyi went to Chunjin Pavilion, he and Han Wang Yuankan went to the West Palace Empress Dowager Zhou, here the Empress Dowager Zhou's mother and daughter finished lunch, Chai Xiyun went to the dark to widen the belt, only hung a red lotus leaf belly pocket, lying on the couch, covering the back, because Qingxuan and Wanqin two close girls, each received an errand, not in the room, the Empress Dowager Zhou was worried that the maids served the severity, so she cleaned her hands and personally climbed on the couch to apply ointment to Chai Xiyun.

When Zhao Defang and the two came, the Empress Dowager Zhou had just gotten, and while sending someone to invite, she ordered the girls to hang the bead curtain and put the screen, Zhao Defang and Zhao Yuankan were not outsiders, so they directly followed the guide mother-in-law into the inner palace, and each gave a gift to see the Empress Dowager Zhou, Zhao Defang regretted that "I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have let Yun'er enter the palace, what etiquette, face, now it is in vain." ”

"Fortunately, if you find out what you are not satisfied with, you won't be at a loss," Zhao Yuankan said, "It's always a blessing in misfortune." ”

"The imperial doctor has seen it, and it is okay to take care of it, but looking at Yun'er like this, I am afraid that I can't even make up the excitement of the state banquet." Empress Dowager Zhou lowered her eyes and adjusted the sleeves of her robe, and gently put it on the case beside her, and her tone seemed to be a little regretful.

Zhao Defang naturally understood what the Empress Dowager Zhou meant, for this matter, they coincided, Zhao Defang was not willing to let Chai Xiyun show his face, so he said, "Yun'er is not in good health, the official family can be compassionate, and then the ministers will go to the official family to explain the reason, and the mother does not have to worry about it."

Empress Dowager Zhou smiled and nodded, but did not answer, Zhao Yuankan couldn't think so much, he felt sorry for Chai Xiyun, got up and walked to the front of the screen, and shouted to the inside, "Royal sister, your illness is too inopportune, the state banquet is so lively, the princes of the two countries play polo, play juju, to the poetry union, maybe you can invite a troupe into the palace, can't you go?" ”

Without waiting for Chai Xiyun to answer, Empress Dowager Zhou said, "Now it seems that it will not be done, Heng'er, if there is anything lively at that time, you have to enter the palace and talk to Yun'er." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou rarely called him like this, Zhao Yuankan turned around, but a little stunned, although his aunt and his mother Empress Yide are sisters, but their temperament is very different, Empress Yide has a docile temperament, treats people kindly, and the corners of her mouth are always smiling, Empress Dowager Zhou doesn't know whether she has gone through the world, or is born in her bones, she has a sense of indifference, serious and dignified, not angry and arrogant, so although she is an aunt, Zhao Yuankan does not dare to be presumptuous in front of her easily, and she hurriedly responded, and then turned closer and said, "Auntie, rest assured, If Erchen gets any good luck, he will definitely give it to his sister first. ”

"Hun said, you got a good lottery, of course, you gave it to your wife first, where is the turn to get Yun'er." Empress Dowager Zhou deliberately teased him, Zhao Defang also smiled at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, Zhao Yuankan laughed, and then said, "Guo's is simple, not elegant, she is not rare." ”

Saying this, he was caught by Chai Xiyun, and he couldn't help but straighten up in the tent, and said coquettishly, "Sister-in-law is simple, which means that I am extravagant." ”

"I don't mean that," Zhao Yuankan hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "You don't take it out of context." ”

Chai Xiyun was also amused, but when he saw his hurried explanation, he also chuckled, and went back to the couch, only to hear Zhao Defang's voice in the outer room again, "The official family is angry with the Pan family this time, but I am afraid that the current Chunjin Pavilion is not peaceful." ”

"What? What's going on at the court? Empress Dowager Zhou asked rhetorically.

"Auntie, you don't know, that Pan Mei is pampered and arrogant, and today she actually became the palace playbook, begging for the title of the fourth prince and uncle as the prince, which angered the father, and the Pan sisters and brothers made their own decisions, I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat this time." Zhao Yuankan replied.

Empress Dowager Zhou's eyes froze slightly, and then asked, "Pan Mei brought up this matter, and the emperor was furious." ”

"Don't say that the father and the emperor, the sons and daughters are a little unhappy, the four princes are idle every day, ignoring political affairs, and they are also involved with the Duke of Longxi (Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty), how to take on the position of the prince, that Pan Mei and Lu Duosun have always been at odds, but today they have the same political views, one after another in the court, and the father is speechless, if it is not for Defang and the three princes, I am afraid that the four princes will really get the position of a prince." Zhao Yuankan said indignantly, Empress Dowager Zhou's thoughts were disturbed, secretly thinking about what a shrewd person Pan Mei was, now that the Pan family is favored, how could she be so ignorant of the importance and anger the emperor, could it be ...... Thinking of this, she hurriedly raised her eyes and said, "After all, it is a matter of the previous dynasty, the mourning family doesn't understand, Heng'er, you are a son-in-law, and now you are older, you should share the worries of your father." ”

"What my aunt taught me is that the affairs of the court are more handy for the three princes, and the sons and daughters have not experienced training, so they should ask him for advice."

"That's good" Empress Dowager Zhou slowly shook the fan, leaned her body on the cushion, Zhao Yuankan got up and added tea, Zhao Defang drank three teas, and said busily, "The official family intends to promote Xu Zhan to serve in the Ministry of Rites, and wants him to help him sort out the many details of the Liao envoy's visit. ”

Zhao Defang got up and saluted, and Zhao Yuankan also got up, "The son also retired first, and the aunt should take care of the royal sister, and she should also take care of her body." ”

"Don't worry, I won't keep you two more." The Empress Dowager Zhou said, and the two of them gave a salute and retired, only to hear the Empress Dowager Zhou shout again, "Defang, Yun'er's matter, I still have to bother you." ”

Zhao Defang stopped, turned around to meet the Queen Mother Zhou is full of expectation, those eyes were full of love, full of yearning, that is a mother's care and pampering, Zhao Defang was slightly stunned, as if he remembered the mother who prayed for the country in the Daxiangguo Temple, that is the person who raised him! Her eyes are so warm, but unfortunately, in this palace, she will never be able to tolerate her, Zhao Defang respectfully bowed, and accepted the entrustment of the Empress Dowager Zhou, he raised his eyes, and clearly saw the beauty in the seat who was once famous and smiling, although the spring day has gone, the charm is still there.
