Chapter 636: Conspiracy and Conspiracy (7)

"Sister Xu! Sister Xu, what are you thinking? A female officer with a beautiful face and a graceful figure was melancholy because of her background, when she heard someone calling her. The female officer immediately turned around:

"Ahh It's Hui Niang! ”

"What is my sister thinking? Are you looking for a pretty gentleman after you want to leave the palace! The female official looked at this palace maid named Hui Niang:

"Hui Niang, my sister didn't ask for a good man! My sister was just thinking about something else. ”

"Oh! I know, my sister must be thinking about her relatives outside the palace! After listening to Hui Niang's words, the female officer's face suddenly became sad, and there were some tears in her eyes. Hui Niang saw the female officer's eyes and suddenly realized that she might have said the wrong thing.

"Sister, what's wrong? Don't you miss your home, your relatives outside the palace? The female officer looked at Hui Niang's young face - Hui Niang, you are still young, you don't understand the difficulty of women surviving in this world, and you don't understand your future fate. Just when the female official was wandering about the future fate of herself and the palace maid named Hui Niang, a eunuch came to the two palace maids.

"May I ask where is the lady in charge of the lamp, is Xu Hui and Xu there?" When the female official heard the eunuch shouting to herself, she immediately turned around:

"Ahh Father-in-law! The little girl is Xu Hui! I don't know ...... father-in-law," the eunuch squinted his eyes and said to Xu Hui:

"Xu Zhanglan let us go! Is the Queen waiting for you? At this time, Hui Niang asked the eunuch:

"Queen Mother! Dare to ask my father-in-law, is there anything about the queen calling my sister? ”

"Bold! The summoning of the queen is also what you should ask a little slave? Hui Niang was angrily reprimanded by the eunuch, making her face red and white for a while. Xu Hui comforted Hui Niang and said:

"Sister, you wait for me here, sister will come when she goes!"

"Slave and maid, see the queen mother! Congratulations to the Queen Mother Chitose, Chitose, Chitose! Zheng Wanzhen wore a phoenix crown and a phoenix robe, and looked at the person kneeling in front of her majestically. Zheng Wanzhen approached:

"Raise your head!" Xu Hui got up and looked at Zheng Wanzhen, Zheng Wanzhen held Xu Hui's face with her hand and touched Xu Hui's skin with her hand. Very light and tender.

"Hmmm! I can't see it, Lady Xu is really naturally beautiful! The face is really ...... Ah! Even Hongu was a little moved. Xu Hui's heart was very nervous, I don't know what Zheng Wanzhen wants to do?

"Xu Hui, this palace remembers, you seem to be the palace that entered Huayin Slaughter City that year! I'm about to leave the palace, what are your plans!? "When it comes to the slaughter of the city in Huayin, Xu Hui's heart is full of sadness, at the beginning, the Turkic Lili Khan Ashina led the Eastern Turkic coalition army to secretly attack Guanzhong, Huayin slaughtered the city for several days, his own family, the whole family of seventeen, except for himself and his grandfather, all died under the knife of the Turks. Later, the news of the marriage between His Majesty the Emperor and the Eastern Turks reached the ears of the people of Guanzhong. His grandfather and the people in the Guanzhong area went to the gate of the imperial city to petition, hoping that His Majesty the Emperor would take back his fate, and when Li Jiancheng came out to see them, his grandfather, in order to let Li Jiancheng take back his fate, his grandfather pushed himself out and let himself enter the palace. In the past few years in the palace, grandpa's advice has been lingering in my ears:

"Hui'er, you are the only seedling of our Xu family, remember, the hatred of the country and the family are tied to you, remember, you must step on the bed of His Majesty the Emperor, give birth to the prince and princess for His Majesty the Emperor, add glory to our Xu family, and you must let the Eastern Turks completely perish, remember. Hui'er! And just a few months ago, his grandfather was seriously ill and had already traveled west. When I got the news, my grandfather was already in the ground. So, now, Xu Hui has no relatives in this world, and his grandfather's entrustment has not been completed, once, he was angry because Li Jiancheng married Ashina Yunge and formed an alliance with the Eastern Turks, and felt that Li Jiancheng was a person who did not care about the life and death of the people, greedy for beauty, until the Eastern Turks perished, Ashina was insulted by Li Jiancheng in the court, and was forced to die by Li Jiancheng, Xu Hui felt the strength of this man, whenever Li Jiancheng was entangled with the harem concubine, how much Xu Hui hoped, It was himself who was moaning and lying beside Li Jiancheng under Li Jiancheng. There is also Ashina Yunge, that slut is by the emperor's side, and grandpa's instructions have not been fulfilled, don't say that she did not give birth to a prince and princess for His Majesty the Emperor, or even a woman who became an emperor has not been realized. is about to leave the palace, and when the time comes, there will be no relatives outside the palace, where can I go? Also, in front of my grandfather's grave, what should I say? Thinking of this, Xu Hui suddenly felt that the queen mother was her last life-saving straw. Xu Hui immediately climbed in front of Queen Zheng Wanzhen:

"The Queen, the Queen! Please, let me stay in the palace! The slave and maid have no home outside, please let the slave and maid stay in the palace, do anything, please, Queen Mother! Please, slave! Xu Hui pulled Zheng Wanzhen's skirt and begged desperately, Zheng Wanzhen's eunuch and palace maid wanted to pull Xu Hui away, Xu Hui grabbed Zheng Wanzhen's skirt and didn't let go, Zheng Wanzhen waved to the eunuch and palace maid under him, and the eunuch and the palace maid let go of their hands. Zheng Wanzhen said softly to Xu Hui:

"Female official Xu, this palace is also very sympathetic to the experience of female official Xu, the Turks invaded Guanzhong, the family suffered a tragic change, and the only relative in the world died, even if it is out of the palace, there is no one to rely on outside, it is rare to live, even if it is to the frontier, accompany the meritorious soldiers, it may be a missing arm and broken leg, short-tempered, okay, don't cry, your mind, this palace will help you complete. You don't have to worry anymore, the chief eunuch is there, and the palace will let people say that they will leave you in the palace. ”

"Thank you, Queen, thank you! The great kindness of the queen's mother, the slave is unforgettable! Zheng Wanzhen nodded and motioned for Xu Hui to go down. Zheng Wanzhen's personal female officer asked Zheng Wanzhen:

"Queen Mother! This woman looks like a greedy and vain person, why do you want to help her like this? Zheng Wanzhen squinted at her personal female officer, and the female officer was a little uncomfortable with Zheng Wanzhen's eyes. Immediately lowered his head and stopped talking. Zheng Wanzhen said in her heart - Zheng Wanzhen also thought about choosing beauties from her relatives, but after thinking about it from the depths, she found that her idea was really naΓ―ve. Those official families who are connected with the Zheng family, once they get their female dependents into the palace, when they are not in power, they may be loyal to themselves in a short time, but the family behind them is also strong, and they will not have any gratitude to themselves. Ever since her father told her about the prince, Zheng Wanzhen has been moved. It has been eight years since Li Jiancheng ascended the throne, but he still has no intention of making his son Chenglu the crown prince. Of course, Chenglu is very good, but Chengdao, the son of Concubine Yang, is also very good. This made Zheng Wanzhen's heart weigh on a stone. Also, when he went to the Xuanzheng Hall with Yang Yan and Cao Yuyan to advise Li Jiancheng and persuade Li Jiancheng to recruit colorful girls from all over the world to enrich the harem, why did Ashina Yunge wait on the way to the Xuanzheng Palace? This proves that Ashina Yunge must have planted a lot of eyes and ears in the harem, and has also gained a large number of supporters. Therefore, those ladies from the official family must not enter the palace and enter Li Jiancheng's sight, once they enter the palace, then once they get Li Jiancheng's favor, they have the support of family power and connections behind them. When the time comes, won't the tiger come to the front door, and the wolf will enter the back door? Zheng Wanzhen then set her sights on the harem. Through observation, Zheng Wanzhen found that Xu Hui was quite talented, and her calligraphy was neat and powerful. There are two most important points - first, Xu Hui's own family is weak, and there is no family power to rely on outside the palace. The second and most important point is that Xu Hui has a personal vendetta with Ashina Yunge, Ashina Yunge's brother Ashina Duppy personally planned the Huayin Massacre, Ashina Duppy is dead, and the Eastern Turks are destroyed. However, Zheng Wanzhen knew that as long as Ashina Yunge was in this palace, then, like a thorn, stabbed in Xu Hui's throat. If such a person is raised on Li Jiancheng's bed, when the time comes, in order to consolidate his position, he will definitely form an alliance with himself, and he will also wash away the outside world's perception of himself. Zheng Wanzhen instructed her personal female officer:

"Garden green! You arrange it well, tomorrow is the birthday of His Royal Highness Chenglu, and tomorrow we will let His Majesty watch a good show! ”

The next day, Li Jiancheng was reviewing the folds, and Mingyu's father-in-law said to Li Jiancheng:

"Your Majesty, the queen mother sent someone to come, hoping that Your Majesty will go to the queen's palace!"

"Oh! What's the matter? ”

"Your Majesty! You have forgotten that today is the birthday of His Royal Highness Chenglu, and the queen mother has set up a sumptuous banquet in the queen's palace, waiting for His Majesty to come. Hearing Mingyu's father-in-law say this, Li Jiancheng patted his head:

"Oops! How did I forget about it! Okay, go and tell the queen that after I am busy with official business, I will be here tonight! Li Jiancheng summarized the story of the struggle for power between the prince and his father in the past dynasties, Li Jiancheng believes that on the one hand, the temptation of imperial power, on the other hand, why not the emperor regards his princes as a tool to consolidate imperial power, when to be a father and son? In order to cultivate more emotional relationships between himself and his children, Li Jiancheng will definitely go to celebrate the birthday of the prince and princess every time he celebrates them, and Li Jiancheng will spend it with his princes and daughters during the New Year's holiday. In the evening, Li Jiancheng came to the queen's palace, and Zheng Wanzhen took Li Chenglu and Yang Yan, Cao Yuyan and their children to welcome Li Jiancheng:

"Concubines greet Your Majesty!"

"Son-in-law, see father!"

"Ahh Let's get even! When Li Jiancheng sat down, Zheng Wanzhen clapped her hands, and a burst of fresh and elegant music sounded. Then, a melodious singing voice sounded, and only the song was sweet and fresh:

"The court is no trace of jade, and the grass is gradually becoming a hole. I faintly heard the drums, where is the grace of Jun. If you want to cry, you can't cry, and you can't cry anymore. The flowers in the garden are rotten, and there is no plan for spring. The spring shade is endless, how to walk alone. Not as idle flowers and plants, turning over the rain and dew. The spring shade is endless, how to walk alone. Not as idle flowers and plants, turning over the rain and dew. Li Jiancheng was fascinated by it.

"Good, good! The song is so good! I don't know where the lyrics came from. Zheng Wanzhen smiled and said to Li Jiancheng:

"Your Majesty, this is the posthumous work of the former Marquis of Sui! During the reign of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, he built high-rise buildings, and collected thousands of beauties from all over the world to be claustrophobic in the labyrinth, Mrs. Hou was one of the thousands of palace maids who had never seen Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in her life, and finally hanged herself. Describing her virginity, and unable to get the emperor's favor, she died with a beautiful face like a peach blossom, abnormal beauty, arms tied with a bag, and a poem of resentment in the Tibetan Palace, which caused Yang Guang to infinitely grieve, and made the eunuch who was derelict in the beauty pageant commit suicide. Mrs. Hou entered the palace at the age of about 16 and committed suicide at the age of 24, saving 13 poems, which was the precursor of the four masters of the early Tang Dynasty. ”

"Good! It's sad that he is so famous, but he has never been favored by the emperor! After Yang Yan heard this, her face was slightly red, but Li Chengdao didn't have anything.

"Zitong! You said that Mrs. Hou has 13 poems, but listening to the lyrics, it seems that there are no 13 poems! Zheng Wanzhen smiled:

"Your Majesty, this appreciation of poetry, it is too boring to appreciate it on paper alone, it is better to let people recite it." Li Jiancheng nodded. Zheng Wanzhen shouted:

"Female Officer Xu is invited!" When Xu Hui was invited over, she was originally naturally beautiful, and Xu Hui was decorated by Zheng Wanzhen, so she was naturally more beautiful. I only heard Xu Huilang chanting:

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Hou is dressed up as a poem again: the makeup is a lot of self-pity, but the dream is good but it becomes sad. Not as good as Yang Huayi, spring comes to fly everywhere. And send Yiyun: The secret * hole is full of fairy flowers, and the carved room locks the jade people. Mao Jun is really killable, and he refuses to write Zhaojun. There is also an ethereal and elegant poem "Plum Blossoms in Spring": The snow does not disappear the day, and the curtain is self-defeating. Tingmei has pity on me, and shows a little spring on the branches first. There is also a cloud of self-injury: the first time I entered tomorrow, I deeply reported to the future. Nagato has been in the past seven or eight years, and he has not seen the king again. The cold spring is clear to the bones, and the lonely room is empty. Staggering under the court, the empty sentimentality. I cherish it on weekdays, but I treat myself very much. The beauty of color is abandoned, and the life is immeasurable. Jun Enshi is estranged, and the concubine is hesitant in vain. The family has no flesh and bones, and it is close to the old North Hall. This body has no wings, how can it be a high wall. Life is sincere, and abandonment can also be injured. On the hanging silk Zhu Dong, the stomach is like boiling soup. The neck is also self-pity, and it is like a thread. resolutely died, and returned to the underworld. After Li Jiancheng heard Mrs. Hou's poems, he felt a lot of feelings in his heart, and Zheng Wanzhen also added a fire to the side:

"Your Majesty! There are many talented women in the palace, and this Xu Cainu is one, the lessons of Emperor Yang and Mrs. Hou of the former dynasty must not be staged in our dynasty! ”
