Also returning to Beijing with Xiao Yunchao were the county lord of Yana of the Kurten Ministry and the county lord of Mingxiu of the Sak Department, but the two of them entered Beijing to coincide with the great funeral of Emperor Chengzu, so they only lived in a palace in the capital and did not enter the palace immediately. According to the Lingyun etiquette system, within three years of Emperor Daxing's funeral, the new monarch was not allowed to carry out the draft or concubines, but the identities of the two daughters were not ordinary, and the Ministry of Rites Shangma was very sad at the beginning.

He also knew that the emperor had been busy dealing with state affairs recently, and he didn't know about these things at all, but those Mongolian nobles were not easy to serve. The county lord of Yana is just an occasional envoy, but the county lord of Mingxiu is much smarter, and when he meets with the people sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he quietly counts the maids around him who do not understand the etiquette system, but vaguely mentions the close relationship between the imperial court and the Mongolian ethnic groups. As a result, it is still difficult for him to do this Ministry of Rites, and even Yuan Peiyu, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, is also a headache.

On this day, the two did not dare to disturb the emperor for this matter, so they made an appointment to go to Cining Palace to meet the Empress Dowager Xiao. The Lingyun etiquette system is different from that of the previous dynasty, although the harem concubines are not allowed to interfere in politics, the queen mother can often meet with courtiers at will, and has the highest control power in the affairs of the harem. Not only that, Ma Fengchu and Yuan Peiyu both knew that the power of the Xiao family was now in power, so the two of them were also worried, lest they would anger the noble emperor's mother.

"Well, you two have a point." Xiao Shi nodded thoughtfully, "It's not appropriate to leave the two noble girls there, after all, people's identities are extraordinary, and a little temper is inevitable." The two people below nodded their heads busily, and although they were separated by the curtain, they could still feel Xiao's blazing gaze. As a result, beads of sweat were already on my back. "The Queen Mother Shengming, the emperor's filial piety was originally a model for the people of the world, but now the two county lords have entered the capital. If you can't be admitted to the palace, it's not a way to stay outside for the first three years. It's better to think of a way to follow the power. Yuan Peiyu nodded and said with a bow.

"In this matter, the mourning family can only be half of the landlord at most, and the emperor is not careful about these things, but he is indispensable." Xiao Shi was noncommittal, and his mind turned to the point, "The matter of the harem is the most respected by the queen. The mourning family will discuss with the queen later, and let her take the lead in coming out with a way. She glanced at the two people below again, and said leisurely, "You two are both caring people, and it is indeed time to remind you of this, otherwise it will be difficult to make up for the mistake." The future envoys also need to be dedicated, the emperor is still young, you all have to have a heart for everything, this is what the auxiliary ministers should do, understand? ”

These words that seemed to be beating and warning suddenly made the two of them silent. He kowtowed in unison and said yes and then withdrew. Until they left the palace, the two of them were still a mess in their hearts, and after looking at each other, they let out a bitter smile.

"Hara-sama. From now on, you, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, will have to pay more attention. Ma Fengchu's face was extremely ugly, "Those who have the heart to send women to be selected, it is best to let them go the way of the queen mother and the queen, otherwise you will not want to be clean in the future." ”

Yuan Peiyu nodded with a sad face. "Lord Ma, the head of the lower officials has offended the emperor, and the holy family is far inferior to you, if there is anything to bother you in the future, please ask Lord Ma to mention a little more."

The two officials who were able to speak well in the capital got on their official sedan chairs with relief, but they were still pondering the intention of Xiao's words in their hearts. One wrong step will lose everything, how dare they ignore the slightest detail.

Empress Hai Ruoxin was deliberately left behind by the Xiao family during her routine greetings, however, after only listening to a few words, her face became gloomy, and it took a while to return to normal. "Queen Mother, you are the master of these little things, why do you have to ask your son?" She replied with a smile, "The marriage between this dynasty and Mongolia is a matter that has been done by all emperors of all dynasties, not to mention that this time it is just over the Northwest War, not to mention the two Mongolian county lords, even eight out of ten should be." Although Erchen is not very sensible, he still has to stumble in these things, so don't you look down on others? ”

Xiao Shi stared at Hai Ruoxin's eyes for a long time before he sighed lightly. "You said this insincerely, do you think the mourning family doesn't know?" She seemed to remember when she was wanton, and a hazy smile appeared in her eyes, "Traceless has always been the most pampered with you, but why don't you be angry, if you can give birth to a prince, won't there be any suspense?" Even a person from a humble background like the Wan noble Ping family gave birth to a son, and your Hai sisters didn't move, it's really worrying. ”

Hai Ruoxin's face couldn't help but change, and she said casually: "Queen Mother, these are all mandates of heaven, they can't be forced, Heng Erchen is still young, I don't think God should be so ruthless." ”

A hint of gloom inadvertently flashed in her eyes, and then a smile appeared, "Although the Ping clan gave birth to a son, he is still only a noble person in rank. Erchen thought that she was also an old man in the East Palace, so he deliberately moved her rank and gave her the title of concubine, if there were other people, there should be nothing to say? ”

Xiao Shi glanced at the other party in surprise, she didn't expect Hai Ruoxin to think so far, and the smile on her face became more and more intriguing. "Xin'er, your idea will be said to Wuji, but you also have to pay attention to the wind on your pillow. As the queen, it is the first to be favored by the emperor, but generosity and courage are indispensable. Which emperor is not a master who covets freshness, so your pillow wind can't be like those concubines, you have to persuade him to get down to business, and sometimes you have to sacrifice some. She thought about herself and couldn't help but smile.

When the two were discussing, Ping Hai, the great eunuch beside Xiao's side, suddenly stumbled into the hall, kowtowed with joy on his face: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, Empress Qiyu, Master Chen of Shicai Tai Hospital has come to report that Concubine Sun has a happy pulse!" ”

Xiao Shi and Hai Ruoxin's hearts jumped at the same time, and Concubine Sun reined in her edge after she ascended the throne without a trace, and spent her days in Zhonghe Palace. But all the women who knew her temperament well knew that she was not a lonely woman, so they paid special attention to her. Not only that, in the past two or three months, Feng Wuxian also seemed to comfort this beloved concubine, and frequently came to her luck, as if she also intended to let her have children to be distracted.

"I didn't expect this child to be happy at this time, it's a great blessing." Xiao Shi was stunned for a moment, then stroked his palms and smiled, "Pinghai, you tell the Tai Hospital, don't be stingy with supplements like Ejiao, send a few capable palace maids to wait, and you must not make any mistakes." You send a message to all the palace maids and eunuchs in Zhonghe Palace, if Concubine Xun makes a mistake, be careful of their skin! ”

Ping Hai hurriedly agreed, and then retreated respectfully. It wasn't until he left Cining Palace that he woke up to the fact that Queen Hai Ruoxin had not yet conceived a dragon fetus, and he couldn't help but regret that he was too Meng Lang. I knew that sending others to report the good news would not be over, in case the queen blamed herself for a lot of trouble, wouldn't it be a disaster? Ping Hai slapped himself regretfully, and then rushed out in a hurry.

In Cining Palace, the two most noble women in the world were silent at the same time. The Empress Dowager Xiao Shi seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Xin'er, the mourning family once heard that you adopted Feng Wuzhao's only son as a righteous son?" ”

Hai Ruoxin hummed lightly, and then raised her head, her face was the same as usual. The Queen Mother's words reminded her son, although this child has not been taken seriously since she was a child, her biological mother Yang is a foolish person, and she wants to force her son to inherit the title. A good child actually became gloomy and indifferent, but fortunately, Erchen felt early. Now that he is reading with Hao Yang Jiyue, his temperament is much more cheerful. ”

Xiao shook his head, as if he didn't think so. "Xin'er, your intentions are clear, don't you just want to find a strong reinforcement for your future biological son? The eldest son of Traceless is almost ten years old, but you still have nothing, and even if you become the prince in the future, you will be much younger than others, which is certainly not wrong. Seeing Hai Ruoxin's complacent appearance, she continued to persuade, "However, don't forget, Haorong is the son of Feng Wuzhao, and his father's defeat is inseparable from the mourning family and Wuji. thought that Feng Wuzhao was the righteous queen's concubine, but in the end, not only did he not have a place to store, but he also ended up depressed, and even the palace was defeated. This life encounter is really unpredictable! ”

Hai Ruoxin naturally knew what Xiao Shi was referring to, but she was a dead-eyed person, and she would not change her mind because of Xiao Shi's few words of enlightenment. She smiled confidently, "The Queen Mother is too worried, not to mention that he is still a child now, even if he inherits the prince when he becomes an adult in the future, can he do something terrible?" The emperor will not be fooled by him at will, even his sons are not such soft-hearted people, and it will not be too late to send it back then. If it can be trained well, it is a royal family that can be an auxiliary minister, after all, now that the royal family is withering, there should be a few young generations to come out to support the scene. ”

Xiao Shi looked helpless, how could she not know about this daughter-in-law's temperament. However, in this deep palace, even if you are the queen and your mother's family is extremely powerful, there is a danger of catastrophe at every turn. She didn't want to nag too much anymore, and she gossiped for a while before letting Hai Ruoxin leave.

"Queen Mother, it's cold, you should add an extra piece of clothing." Rouping saw the master standing alone in front of the window, and couldn't help but step forward to remind. She has followed the Xiao family for many years, and she has a deep understanding of her master's every move, so she naturally knows that this is not a good time to interject, so she can only use the words to diverge.

"Rouping, you are not too young, is it worth it to delay your youth for the sake of mourning your family?"

Xiao Shi asked suddenly, and his words seemed to bring out infinite Xiao Suo.

Rouping hurriedly knelt down, and said again and again: "Queen Mother, the slave maid was originally from a humble background, thanks to your attention, now that my parents and brothers are living a good life, there is nothing unworthy." Slaves and maids only want to serve you for the rest of their lives, and nothing else. ”

Xiao Shi was stunned, and there was a little tenderness on his face, and he stopped making a sound, just looked out the window stupidly. Lingyun Zhiwei Without a Trace Volume 9 Jiangshan Chapter 3 Happy Pulse
