The son of the champion Hou was a toddler with the support of the palace maid, and simple words popped out of his mouth from time to time, which made several people around him laugh. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Cui Xiaojun is also one of the audience, the smile on his face has not disappeared, and he feels that this little thing is the cutest creature in the world.

A familiar voice whispered in her ear: "Today's innocence will not be long before it becomes noisy and naughty, and finally it is an ambitious descendant of the Han family, you watch them grow up, but you don't understand how the change happened." ”

Six palace maids bowed and retreated, and another palace maid picked up the child and stepped aside.

Concubine Cui smiled at the child, she also liked this little thing, but she just looked farther away.

Her arrival ruined the atmosphere in the room, and Cui Xiaojun said in a low voice: "Auntie, go to me." ”

Cui Xiaojun took the lead out of the house, and Concubine Cui said to the palace maids, "Haven't you brought any children?" Move all the tables and chairs out here. ”

Cui Xiaojun's room was next door, she retired from the palace maid, personally served tea to her aunt, stood aside, and respectfully held the gift of her son and nephew.

Concubine Cui sat upright, took a sip of tea, and said, "What is volatile, not just children? Ordinary people for thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, like us, three years is enough, maybe you will be sitting tomorrow, but I will kowtow to you below. ”

"My aunt is serious."

"Heavy, but true." Concubine Cui put down the teacup, leaned forward, reached out and gently stroked her niece's cheek, "There are so many descendants of the Cui family, you have the best temper and the smartest, and when your mother is the world, will it still be like this?" ”

Cui Xiaojun's face was slightly red, and he wanted to refute it, but when the words came to his mouth, he changed his mind and said, "If my aunt becomes the queen mother, will she also change?" ”

Concubine Cui smiled and withdrew her arm, "I won't change, because I have long been ready to become the Queen Mother." I missed the queen and will not miss the queen mother again. ”

"Congratulations, auntie, you can always make your wishes come true."

"You're not jealous?"

"As long as I can stay with the tired marquis for the rest of my life, I don't care about my identity."

Concubine Cui laughed first, and then sighed, "It's rare to have a lover in the world, and it's even more difficult for the royal family, there are many people here who are lucky to be lucky, is Xiaojun sure that he has found it?" ”

Cui Xiaojun's eyes drooped slightly, "My aunt can't see through everyone in the world because of her own experience." ”

"Haha, what a 'see through'. Speaking of which, young people always refuse to accept the guidance of old people, and have to stumble over by themselves. When everything came to naught, and only the foot on my body was real, did I realize how stupid I was. You're still young and can be naïve for a few more years. ”

"Is there anything wrong with my aunt coming to me?" Cui Xiaojun was tired of Concubine Cui's cynicism, but they lived in the same courtyard, and it was difficult to avoid them.

Concubine Cui didn't seem to hear the meaning of the expulsion in the words, so she took another sip of the teacup, stared at her niece, didn't let go of any clues, and then said, "The tired marquis has left Beijing." ”

Cui Xiaojun was startled at first, and then let out a sigh of relief, "He gave up the fight for the throne...... "She finally doesn't have to worry about it all the time, since she heard the news of the assassination of the British king, her heart has not been at peace for a moment, even if it is the cute child next door, she can't completely forget her fear.

It didn't take long for Cui Xiaojun to feel strange again, her aunt's eyes were a little wrong, as if she was still hiding something, "Auntie, I'm tired of waiting for him......"

"You don't know."

"Don't know what?" Cui Xiaojun was stunned.

A smile appeared on Concubine Cui's face again, "Tired Hou's move is obviously to retreat, he can hide it from others, but he can't hide it from me, it seems that you are also one of the people who are hidden." ”

"Tired of leaving Beijing, it means quitting the competition, and no longer get the protection of the Eighth Battalion of the Suwei, where can you retreat as advance? And...... And we haven't been in touch for a long time. ”

"Hey, do you think everyone in the palace is the Queen Mother's henchmen? If the tired marquis wants to contact you, he can always find someone to help, if he doesn't even have this ability, it is the stupidest move in the world to run back to the capital to compete for the throne. As for retreating as advance, this is a clear thing, Tihou has already won the support of a group of people, especially those who read, they are not only benevolent and moral, but also their own net worth, even if Tihou himself wants to withdraw, they will not agree. ”

Cui Xiaojun's heart hung up again, but he remained silent on the surface, "My aunt came to tell me these things?" ”

"I don't want to see you in the dark and ignorant, what if the tired marquis really dies? The queen of the Cui family always has to prepare in advance. ”

Cui Xiaojun is not stupid at all, of course she understands her aunt's intentions, "No matter how my aunt tempts, I just don't know what I don't know, and I can't help you." ”

Concubine Cui didn't give up, "You can't help me, but there is someone who can help you." ”

Cui Xiaojun refused to answer.

"You can not believe me, but there is one sentence that you must keep in mind: Wang Meiren is by no means an ordinary person, don't be deceived by her humility and softness, she is a very scheming woman. The Queen Mother has been fooled, and keeping her by her side as a maid is a humiliation on the surface, but in fact it is the Queen Mother who is damaged, and unconsciously, the Queen Mother is under the influence of Wang Meiren. ”

Cui Xiaojun still didn't squeak.

Concubine Cui stood up, "Don't think about me, and don't think about the Cui family, you always have to think about yourself and the tired marquis, Wang Meiren is scheming, but after all, she was just a maid in the past, she was born in a poor family, and she hasn't seen much of the world, for her, the struggle for power is a big gamble, win, she is the queen mother, lose, she has nothing anyway." This kind of person is very smart and dangerous, and she does not arrange a retreat for herself, because she has nothing to retreat from. If she just kills herself, it's nothing, the most terrifying thing is that she will affect others. ”

"Tired Hou is her own flesh and blood......"

"And the only bet in her hand." Concubine Cui smiled, "You visit your mother-in-law twice a day in the morning and evening, why don't you stay for a while tonight?" ”

Concubine Cui left, knowing that she had convinced her niece, as for how to dig out the truth from her niece's mouth afterwards, it was another matter, and she was not worried at all.

Cui Xiaojun is young after all, and she can't fight the scheming elders, knowing that her aunt has ulterior motives, she is still moved, Concubine Cui grabbed her weakness, and when she thought that Wang Meiren's plan would affect the life and death of the tired marquis, Cui Xiaojun could no longer deal with it calmly.

Wang Meiren usually serves the Queen Mother closely, but she has her own residence in the wing of the palace and occupies an exclusive room, which is the biggest difference between her and ordinary palace maids.

Cui Xiaojun asked for peace once in the morning and evening, and each time he had to salute the queen mother's room in the courtyard first, and then go to the wing room to see Wang Meiren.

Occasionally, the Queen Mother will also go out of the room to see each other, each time the expression is different, sometimes cold, sometimes hateful, sometimes very happy, will ask Cui Xiaojun about the emperor's diet and daily life, which makes Cui Xiaojun creepy more than the look of hatred, she knows very well that the "emperor" in the Queen Mother's mouth refers to the dead Emperor Si.

This evening, the Queen Mother also came out, her expression was more natural than ever, and she was not a little crazy.

Cui Xiaojun knelt on the futon, motionless.

The Queen Mother stared at Cui Xiaojun like a stranger, and only after a while did she say coldly: "Has Han Ruzi corresponded with you?" ”

"Returning to the Queen Mother, since the concubine entered the palace, she has not had a word-by-word contact with the tired marquis."

"Well, wait and see, if Han Ruzi leads his troops to the frontier and honestly resists the Xiongnu for Dachu, you and Wang Meiren will soon be able to leave the palace to reunite with him, if Han Ruzi plays any tricks, your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will say goodbye to each other tonight."

Cui Xiaojun has always been more afraid of the Queen Mother, and he is even more frightened at this time.

The Queen Mother returned to the house, and the eunuchs stood guard at the door.

Cui Xiaojun knelt down for a while before getting up with the help of the palace maid and going to the wing room to meet her mother-in-law, Wang Meiren.

Every time she sees her daughter-in-law, Wang Meiren is very happy, she has given birth to a son for Emperor Huan, but she has always had a low status, and even wants to be a maid for the Queen Mother, but she has never shown a humiliated appearance, but is conscientious, and she is more attentive than ordinary palace maids when serving the Queen Mother.

"Did the Queen Mother scare you?" Wang Meiren asked with a smile.

Cui Xiaojun smiled reluctantly.

The palace maids retreated, leaving only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Wang Meidao: "Don't care, the queen mother is very suspicious now, and she has a cold face to everyone." ”

Cui Xiaojun couldn't help but whisper: "There are rumors that the Queen Mother is ...... It's ......"

"Pretending to be crazy?" Wang Meiren smiled and shook her head, "No one can pretend to be so similar and for so long." If my son had an accident at a young age, and the successor I had chosen was always full of twists and turns, I would have gone crazy. ”

"But the Queen Mother didn't look like a ...... just now There is madness. ”

"The Queen Mother is really crazy, but it doesn't mean that she won't get better, nor does it mean that she has lost all her senses. Even the crazy Queen Mother will hold the power in her hands tightly, maybe tighter. ”

Cui Xiaojun felt a chill, pondered for a while, and said, "The tired marquis has already left Beijing, has your mother-in-law heard about it?" ”

"Well, it was I who persuaded the Queen Mother to send the tired marquis out of the capital."

Cui Xiaojun's heart tightened, "Mother-in-law doesn't want the marquis to compete for the throne?" ”

"The foundation of the tired marquis is too shallow, what can you use to compete for the throne? The Queen Mother is not really electing the emperor, she is avenging Emperor Si. ”

"Sidi?"

When she was confused, the Queen Mother thought that Emperor Si was still alive, but when she was sober, she believed that Emperor Si was killed, and only by turning the capital into a mess could the murderer come out, this was her plan. When Emperor Si had an accident, the Tired Marquis and I lived in a small courtyard outside the palace without any power, so the Queen Mother did not suspect the Tired Marquis and was willing to let him out of Beijing. The price is that the tired marquis has to guard the frontier and defend her against external troubles. ”

"The Queen Mother said that if the tired Hou really went to the frontier, she would send her mother-in-law and me over."

"I hope so, it's not certain who will be the queen mother in the future."

Cui Xiaojun looked at Wang Meiren in surprise.

Wang Meiren smiled: "I'm not talking about myself, it's Concubine Cui." The person who the Queen Mother suspects the most is the Cui family, and the person that the Cui family hates the most is also the Queen Mother, this is a battle between them, Tired Hou, you and I had better stay out of the matter, although you are also the Cui family. ”

"Marry the tired marquis, I am the tired marquis."

Wang Meiren got up, walked to her daughter-in-law's side, and said softly: "Then let's pray together that the tired Hou will be smooth sailing, and pray that the Queen Mother can achieve victory, the situation is not too favorable for her, she is not completely ready, I hope that the Cui family will hesitate and will not make any more surprise moves." ”

Cui Xiaojun was in a much more relaxed mood when she left, believing that her mother-in-law did not deceive herself.

Wang Meiren sat in the room but was preoccupied, hoping that her daughter-in-law could bring the news that "the Queen Mother is not ready" to Concubine Cui, urging her to do it as soon as possible, otherwise, the Queen Mother will win soon, and no one will have a chance.

She also hopes that her son can understand her intentions and return to the capital at the most chaotic time to seize the throne.

This time, she and her son must win. (To be continued.) )
