After saying goodbye from the Qianyuan Palace, Luo Yuan went straight to the queen's Weiyang Palace.

Weiyang Palace is actually a palace complex for the concubines to live in, and it is not a single palace for the emperor to summon his ministers like Qianyuan Palace. There is a Weiyang Hall in Weiyang Palace, which is the place where the queen accepts the congratulations of the princes, ministers and concubines on New Year's Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, Wanshou and other festivals.

Immediately behind the front hall is the main palace of Weiyang Palace, called Changqiu Palace, which is the queen's bedroom and the official office where the queen deals with harem affairs. The chamberlain who is responsible for the queen's various affairs is called Da Changqiu, and he is a person with a very respected status in the harem, and he is the same as the middle attendant who serves the emperor, and because the queen is in charge of the harem, in the harem, Da Changqiu's power and prestige are more prosperous than that of the middle attendant.

When Yu Yuan walked to the gate of the Changqiu Palace, the newly appointed Great Changqiu Liuwu of the Empress happened to be outside the palace gate to assign the Taimiao memorial matters, and when he saw that the Yuan Yuan was coming, he hurriedly trotted over a few steps, and solemnly saluted: "The slave and maid pay tribute to the uncle of the country." The queen mother just talked to you today, saying, 'Brother hasn't seen you for a long time, and I don't know what I'm busy with', you see, it's a coincidence, you're here. What is it that is not flesh and blood? Da Changqiu Liu Wu said in imitation of the queen's voice. But Yu Yuan knows this sister too well, and the queen may have indeed mentioned herself, but she must have complained about her words, and her heart suddenly became very annoying. Yu Yuanwei's bad temper is well known to everyone in the Holy Capital. When he was in the boudoir, relying on the strong strength and wealth of the Yu family, he never took the world in his eyes, and acted quite differently from ordinary people. After marrying Xiao Tuyou, especially after giving birth to a child, his temperament changed further, and he always asked Luo Yuan to give advice to his mother and son and consolidate his position. However, Luo Yuan is a close confidant of Yu Tuyou, not just Luo Yuanwei's brother and private, so Luo Yuan always tries to avoid Luo Yuanwei. Luo Yuanwei complained a lot about this.

Yu Yuan frowned and entered the Changqiu Palace, and when he arrived at the door, he suddenly heard a shout inside: "Are you all blind, or deaf, ah?!" The sky is white and the earth is white, and suddenly such a vixen moves in from the outside, and you don't even know anything one by one? Yes?! What's the use of raising you? Can't even look at the door? Yes?! ”

Yu Yuan thought that the queen seemed to be attacking the chamberlain and the palace maid again.

I only heard a woman's voice: "The queen mother is angry, the queen mother's phoenix body is important." The concubines serve Niangniang all day long, and they really don't know what's going on in the east. This is Dou Zhaoyi's voice. After that, several more women's voices persuaded and defended. Luo Yuan was shocked to realize that it was not the palace maid who was trained, but Dou Zhaoyi, Meng Jieyu and other concubines. Yu Yuan is even more annoyed.

"Phoenix? Wouldn't you have been quicker if I had died sooner? However, don't expect me to die, you can move to the Changqiu Palace. I'll tell you, you should die before it's too late. Even if I die, this seat in the Changqiu Palace won't be your turn! That fox spirit has only been here for a long time, and then moved to Mingguang Palace. I heard that His Majesty's hidden illness was cured. The treasures and delicacies of the entire harem will be moved to the Mingguang Palace. Mingguang Palace was also given a new name by His Majesty himself. Hi! The more I talk about it, the more annoying it becomes! You say, "What are you not rubbish?" ”

The queen's voice was very sharp, and the queen felt extremely harsh, but there was no way, the emperor ordered him to enlighten the queen, no matter how reluctant he was, he had to go in. Moreover, this matter is not only related to the queen's honor, but also related to the survival of the entire Luo family, which is not a joke.

Yu Yuan coughed intentionally, and Da Chang Qiu Liu sang loudly with great interest: "Queen Mother, Uncle Guo is here." ”

"Stand down, and we'll talk about it later. Look at the dianjia. There are eight or nine more in the Band, don't let the other vixens in, you know, you guys, huh?! The queen's anger still did not subside.

"Oh, Queen. The concubine retired. ”

After a sound of tinkling sounds, the queen said inside, "Brother, come in." ”

Yu Yuan paced in, and the queen was sitting upright behind the case in the center. The queen is thirty-six years old, and her appearance is not very beautiful, but the majestic and broad instrument is not comparable to ordinary women, a pair of long red phoenix eyes stand obliquely, a pair of long and thin eyebrows are inserted into the sideburns of the forehead obliquely, the complexion is fair, and the mouth is very small, as if she is always using her strength. He wore a white beaded flower on his head, and a long phoenix-like step was stuck diagonally in the middle of the queen's thick black hair. The queen has been fond of black since she was a child, and she wears black clothes with purple trim.

"The minister knocks to see ......"

"No, brother. Sit down. Our brothers and sisters are our own people, what are we doing with these false courtesies? There are no outsiders here. Liu Wu, look at the tea. "Queen Yu is a woman who speaks very hotly.

Luo Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "Queen, now is not the time when you were in the original palace, Your Majesty has succeeded to the throne, and the status of the monarch and the minister must be mentioned." If there are foreign ministers today, if the ministers are not counted, if someone comes up with a charge of 'not being a minister', it is very likely that the minister will be sued. ”

Queen Yu smiled disappre一门ly, took a sip of tea, and said slowly, "What my brother said is too serious." Who doesn't know, my brother is His Majesty's right and left hand, and without my brother, His Majesty will ...... a day."

"The queen is cautious! Be careful, Queen! Luo Yuan reprimanded loudly: "Queen, queen, just listen to your brother." His Majesty has succeeded to the throne. Now the situation is different. You can't be willful anymore. Yu Yuanji looked around and saw a few palace maids coming and going, so he stopped for a while.

The queen said, "Stand down, all of you." Liu, you also step aside. ”

After only the queen and Yu Yuan were left in the palace, Luo Yuan said: "Sister, do you know that Your Majesty is not what we thought before. His Majesty seems to be generous and benevolent, but in fact he is very thoughtful, and since he succeeded to the throne for a month, whether he is dealing with clan affairs or handling court affairs, he is completely like a different person. In some government affairs, my brother does not have His Majesty's thoughtfulness and long-term thinking. In the past few days, I have seen him summon his ministers to deal with difficult affairs, and I think that he may be better at power than the first emperor, and he has a deeper understanding of politics. ”

Queen Yu's face changed, and she looked very bored, and said, "Brother, I can't see you men like this, it's really boring to live." Could it be that in just a few days, can Your Majesty suddenly change as a person? Isn't he the one who only knows how to intercede for the clan, drink and sing and dance, and stir up flowers and grass? ”

Yu Yuan shook his head and said, "You are wrong, sister. That's what I thought before. But now I realize that we were all very wrong. ”

The queen snorted to show her contempt.

Luo Yuan didn't pay attention to it, but just said: "I'll ask you one thing, if Your Majesty is an ordinary person, how can he be unanimously supported by the entire clan after succeeding to the throne?" Even Empress Xuanren and the crown prince did not hesitate to embrace him? Don't forget, the first emperor is the Emperor of Longwu, he is not an ordinary emperor. ”

Empress Yu's face looked a little better, and after thinking for a while, she nodded slightly.

Luo Yuan took the opportunity to say: "As for the political affairs of the imperial court, I won't talk to you in detail." I'll just talk about yourself. What you did in the harem, but you must change it! ”

"What do you mean, brother?"

"Sister. We are all brothers and sisters of the same mother, what do I mean, don't you know yourself? Since you asked, I will simply tell you that the reason why I came to Changqiu Palace today is because His Majesty ordered me to come here. ”

"What did he order you to do?"

"What did I do?! I will tell you that you must have the bearing of a mother in the world. His Majesty said that he wanted the harem to be clean. Don't you understand? ”

"Humph! All right. As soon as you ascend the throne, you think I'm in the way?! Queen Yu's face turned yellow, her face twisted violently, her long phoenix tail swayed, she sighed, and said, "Brother." When His Majesty was in the palace, I watched and watched those actions on weekdays, and he didn't do anything about him! I don't know what kind of person Your Majesty looks like?! I knew I was limited in appearance, and I never expected to be his favor. But, brother, Your Majesty's bloodline matters, he used to soak in those bewitching people all day long, in case there is a dragon seed, do I raise it or not? If you don't raise it, it's his species. But if you raise it, do you still want the face and noble bloodline of the Xiao family? ”

"Sister, sister. Why are you still so convincing? Your Majesty's qualifications are not unknown to you, if there is no attendant to sleep every night, he will be hot and eager to split his liver and lungs. This is his extraordinary talent, it is a gift from God, how can you change it by yourself? Since you can't change it, don't bluff yourself and others by saying these words that are not bloodlined. Don't forget, the first emperor and His Majesty are both concubines born to Liangdi of the Beiling County Palace, and the first emperor and His Majesty hate others to mention what bloodlines, concubines and the like in their lives. ”

The queen didn't say anything, just twisted her head angrily and looked out of the door, and after a while, she turned her head and said, "I was about to ask Liu Wu to come to you today to ask." You're by Your Majesty's side every day, how did you let him hook up with that Ryukawa Maihime? Didn't you say that Your Majesty has suffered from a hidden disease since he succeeded to the throne, why did he suddenly go to the music shop yesterday and pamper the lowly Ryukawa Maiji? Your Majesty hasn't raised those Ryukawa Mai Girls before, as for being confused to the extent of being sealed immediately? Hum! Ryukawa Maihime?! One by one, they are all chickens that don't lay eggs, and it's just a few foxes who have the ability to bewitch the Lord. Your Majesty just plays, why did you bring it back to the palace last night, and let her live in the Mingguang Palace regulated by Zhaoyi?! ”

Yu Yuan sighed and said, "Sister." She's just a rootless Ryukawa Mai Ji, what do you care about her? Didn't you just say that they don't lay eggs, and they can't give birth ....... Yesterday's ten Liuchuan dancing girls were carefully selected by Shouhua Chong of Liuchuan County to come in, which is naturally extraordinary. Your Majesty's hidden illness has finally been cured, isn't this a good thing for the royal family? Besides, His Majesty has had so many troubles since he succeeded to the throne, and this month's depression must be borne and relieved by someone, right? But then again, that Ryukwa Maihime yesterday was lucky enough to be in time for this. That Ryukawa Maihime is in the midst of being favored, and I see that His Majesty is very fond of her, and it is likely that she will be given a title in the upper fifth place after the great funeral. Don't mess with her. Your Majesty has just succeeded to the throne and is looking for opportunities to stand up in all aspects, don't become a bird! Do you understand, Yuanwei? ”

The queen finally relented and said, "I understand, brother." I just can't get angry. Today, I went to Mingguang Palace, I wanted to take a look, who knew that the guards of Nangong actually told me that His Majesty has a clear decree, and no one is allowed to enter Mingguang Palace without his holy decree. I'm the master of the harem, has Mingguang Palace become a palace within a palace? Are there going to be three masters in this palace? The unknown queen in Fengde Palace has not yet been cleared, and there is another one in Mingguang Palace. ”

When Empress Xuan Ren talked about Empress Xuanren, she took the opportunity to say, "Sister don't worry. We hurry up to the position of the crown prince, that is the most important thing. That Rukawa Maihime can't give birth to a child, what do you care about her? Your Majesty always has someone to sleep at night, and she will serve her to sleep, and we will save snacks, which is nothing more than Your Majesty's more pampering? If other concubines are servants, it will be even more troublesome if there is a smart and strong prince. As long as you can take over the throne, you will be the queen mother, that is the most important thing, that is the first-class honor. You tell me? ”

Queen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and said leisurely: "What my brother said is, when will the one in Fengde Hall and the one in Changle Palace be taken away?" "Since the day Empress Yu entered the palace, she has always wanted to move Empress Xuanren and the crown prince out of the palace, and has been urging the emperor to let the emperor seal the crown prince to his son as soon as possible.

Luo Yuan said: "You don't know Your Majesty's temper. Everything he does depends on the attitude of the clan. The position of the crown prince is not something that can be removed immediately, so you don't have to worry. Today, I have discussed with Your Majesty, and after Xiao Jia writes to resign from the position of prince, I will change his title to the king of the county and release him. ”

"I don't care if I change the title of the county king or what, I only care about whether Zhi'er can be crowned the prince." The queen didn't say angrily.

Yu Yuanji seized the opportunity and said, "Sister, your words are to the point. Since you know where the stakes lie, you should be more tolerant of the harem concubines to win the hearts of the harem people. If you treat the harem harem harem harem badly, and provoke Your Majesty overturned, it will be difficult for Zhi'er to be crowned the crown prince, even if you are crowned prince, if your posterior position is in danger, his position as prince will not be kept. You know Zhi'er's qualifications, he can't rely on himself, if he wants to be crowned prince, he still has to take the road of 'son is more precious than mother', or he still has to rely on the legal identity of the eldest son. ”

This made Queen Yu quite moved. He has long been disheartened by his own honor, His Majesty has to be served every night, never empty bed, but never happy himself, she has long had no hope for this, and is only focused on the rank. When she was Prince Yongcheng, as the princess, she was bent on letting Xiao Zhi inherit the throne and avoid the influence of other princes. After Tuyu succeeded to the throne, what she wanted was to let Xiao Zhi become the crown prince and enter the unification, and when the time came, she would be the queen mother.

Empress Yu's tone softened, and after a pause, she said, "Your Majesty has many heirs, and Zhi'er is not the most favored, let alone the most qualified. In case His Majesty does not choose Zhi'er to be the crown prince, or even if he becomes the prince but is not favored by His Majesty, it will be a matter of time before he is deposed, and at that time, our minds will be wasted. Here's why I'm bored every day, brother. ”

Yu Yuan smiled confidently and said, "Sister, I have already arranged it. Today, His Majesty has agreed to my proposal, and only the rank and minor princes will remain in the Holy Capital, and the rest of the adult princes will be divided into feudal princes. In this way, there is no prince in the holy capital to compete with Zhi'er. ”

"Really? Your Majesty agreed? ”

"That's nature!" Yu Yuan said with a relaxed smile.

"Thanks to my brother's planning, otherwise Zhi'er might really not be able to compete with those wild things born of foxes." The Empress finally smiled.

"Look at you, here you go again. They are all His Majesty's dragon species, how can they be said to be 'wild things'? You must always be the mother of the world, keep the back position, and win the hearts of the people inside and outside the palace. Only in this way can the mother be more precious than the son, and the rank of the eldest son can successfully become the prince and sit firmly on the throne of the prince. If you are still mean, I'm afraid ......"

"I know, I know, I'll just pay attention, brother. As long as Zhi'er can become the crown prince, I can do anything. Mother of the world?!hum! What kind of mother is the queen in the world, when she is the queen mother, that is the real mother of the world! ”

"Be careful! Be careful! Your Majesty is in the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and you are looking forward to being the Queen Mother. Aren't you looking forward to Your Majesty's death? If someone hears it, it's a terrible thing. Be careful, be careful, sister. If you don't say it properly, you will regret it for life. ”

"Alright, alright, brother. I know. After that, I won't talk about these things again. Queen Yu was in a good mood, waved her hand happily, and shouted outside: "Liu Wei, you come in." ”

Liu Wei answered, pushed the door in, and Queen Yu continued: "You take the silver fox sent by Princess Beiling and hand it to Guangluqing." Brother, the silver fox is very rare, it is sewn from the size of the fur under the armpit of the silver fox, it is warm and light, you can take it back to your mother. "This is an underground eviction order in disguise. Yu Yuan took the silver fox and resigned.
