In the dull roar, the two heavy doors of the Shanggong Bureau's treasury closed, and an oversized copper lock locked the iron ring on the side. Twenty female officials with knives in the palace were scattered in shifts and guarded in all corners of the surrounding area.

Shang Gong Bureau Shang Gong quickly walked in front of the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, the three gates of the treasury have been locked, and the Shang Palace Bureau immediately presented the key to the treasury to Concubine Qin." ”

The Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction, "In the future, the affairs of the treasury are only the orders of Concubine Qin." ”

"Yes."

The queen mother turned around and wanted to board the sedan chair and leave, but saw the emperor's shoulder falling not far away.

"The emperor has arrived!"

The female official and the attendants and palace maids accompanying the queen mother knelt on the ground one after another, "Holy bow and be blessed!" ”

The emperor lowered his shoulders and slowly walked in front of the queen mother, "The son asks the queen mother for peace." Her eyes fell on the gate of the treasury, "Does the queen mother really want the Qin clan to be in charge of the treasury of the Shanggong Bureau?" ”

"Not bad." The queen mother sighed faintly and broke up a large group of entourage, "The mourning family wanted to completely spread their hands and go to Xinian to raise Tiannian as the emperor wished, but Concubine Zhou was crying, saying that the queen deliberately harmed the prince; The queen is also crying, saying that Concubine Zhou intends to spread rumors and humiliate her, and both sides insist on their own words, making the harem known to everyone, what kind of system it has become! ”

"But the son······ He promised that the queen would be in charge of the treasury of the Shanggong Bureau. ”

The Queen Mother shook her head slowly. She is a person who has come over, and she has experienced the ruthless harem fight, and she is the beneficiary of the palace fight, but after being the emperor's grandmother, she looks back on the past as a social and royal watchman, and she perceives too much unbearable from it. Seeing that the open and secret battles of the next generation of concubines are intensifying, the ruthlessness is as good as the previous generation, it is really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, and one generation is stronger than the next!

"Leaving the matter of taking charge of the treasury to the queen, how will Concubine Zhou feel? Isn't that adding fuel to the fire? Hmph, when Chengping was peaceful, it was okay for the concubine to be jealous, but now that the society is troublesome, how can the concubine act arbitrarily! Everyone endures each other for the country, the previous dynasty is like this, and so is the harem! ”

The emperor was unwilling, "Why do you want the Qin family to be in charge of the treasury?" ”

"Whoever accumulates wealth is in charge of the treasury, this is a logical thing, not to mention that at the moment, Concubine Qin is in charge of the treasury, and the opposition in the harem is the least, so the Qin family is the best candidate to be in charge of the treasury!" The Empress Dowager said categorically: "If the emperor really wants to stabilize the harem, then tell the concubines with actions that there will never be a winner in the harem fight!" ”

The emperor has to admit that the top priority at the moment is indeed to maintain stability, and punishing any one of the queens and concubines Zhou by thunderbolt means will cause a lot of shock, and it is even more undesirable to let the harem battle intensify, if you want to maintain stability, the queen mother's words are golden and jade!

But he still couldn't help but sigh: "Qin Clan! ”

Seeing her son's haggard face, the queen mother was quite distressed, and slowed down her tone at the moment: "The queen and Concubine Zhou are both pointing out that the other party spread rumors and poured dirty water on Concubine Qin's head, and they have all made trouble, and the emperor should also let go of the rumors." Concubine Qin is not only faultless, but also has credit for the community. ”

Yes, the Qin family has accumulated so much silver, and it is indeed due to Sheji! Such a conclusion made the emperor uncomfortable, and a question arose in his mind: Could it be that he is a faint king?

The queen mother hesitated for a long time, and finally said something buried deep in her heart: "The mourning family knows that the emperor has a hurdle in his heart and can never get over, when the rumors involve others, the emperor can still see clearly, once it involves the king of Yue, the emperor is easy to lose his senses." For so many years, every time the court affairs are tricky and at a loss, the emperor will think of King Yue, after being available, as soon as the days are a little better, he will forget about King Yue, and even wish to send him to a remote place, out of sight is pure, this is all due to a weak heart! As the Son of Heaven, the ruler of the world, there will always be a few extraordinary people in his life, in this regard, the Son of Heaven must have the wisdom to know people, with the help of his wisdom to achieve a great cause, which is beneficial to the name of the Son of Heaven, without any damage. The emperor only needs to remember that with his stable status as Mount Tai, he is enough to control the king of Yue, and the emperor should have this self-confidence! ”

The emperor's eyes froze, and the embarrassment on his face was quickly covered by a stiff smile.

······

"Drive!"

Zhu Qiming rode his horse and galloped on the plains, with a deeply moving smile on his face, and his dark eyes sparkling.

The earth warmed up, the snow melted, and the surroundings were reckless, without flowers and grass, but there was an intoxicating fragrance wafting in the air.

"Phew! ：

In front of a steep cliff, Zhu Qiming turned over and dismounted, and quickly turned into a pine forest, "Sister Xiyao! ”

In the snow forest, a cloak with a white background melted into the surrounding snow, and two red ribbons and a few strands of green silk danced lightly in the wind, waving away the desolation of the snowy region.

Lu Xiyao turned around, her charm flowed out with her eyes, and the smile on her face seemed to come out of her bones, vividly interpreting what it means to reunite after a long absence. "Are you alright?"

"Ahem!"

Just as he was about to run over and hold Lu Xiyao's hands, the familiar coughing sound sounded not far away, Zhu Qiming couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly, and when he turned to face Ling Xudao, he immediately changed his smiling face.

"Good way."

Daoist Ling Xuan didn't give him a cold face, but there was a faint worry between his eyebrows. "Your Highness, the Jinyi Guards are looking for Miss Lu's whereabouts everywhere, and they seem to be eyeing Lingxiao Palace."

Zhu Qiming seemed to have expected it, he seemed very calm at the moment, pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Things in Bauhinia City are capricious, and if there is trouble, it will always affect the people outside. Moving closer to Lu Xiyao, "Sister, don't worry, Jinyiwei just wants to find you home, but you must not let them get their wish." ”

Lu Xiyao nodded with a smile.

Ling Xuan Dao Chang slowly walked to the two of them, "It's not just Jinyi Wei who is staring at Lingxiao Palace, there must be another group of people. ”

Zhu Qiming was shocked and looked at Lu Xiyao.

"That day, I changed into a female crown outfit, and went into the mountains to collect medicine with Ling Xudao, and overheard three people talking secretly in the forest, and one of them was actually an internal official! What did they talk about······ It's about you, I was accidentally discovered by them, those three people are so fierce! At that time, waving his weapon, he pounced on me without saying anything, if it weren't for Ling Xudao's protection, I am afraid it would be extremely difficult for me to get out. ”

"It's a long story, and it's not too late to bring it up in the future." Ling Xudao said: "Jinyiwei probably smelled something, Miss Lu is not safe hiding in Lingxiao Palace, so Poor Dao sang a good show of transferring flowers and trees, avoiding many ears and eyes, and quietly left the Jingshi with her. ”

Zhu Qiming turned his head to look around, and saw that many female crowns were faintly visible in the forest, "Where does the Taoist chief want to take her?" ”

Ling Xudao frowned, "Isn't this looking for His Highness!" ”

Zhu Qiming was stunned for a moment, and then grinned, "Hehehehe······ I went and instructed the guards to choose a secret place to build a wooden house. ”
