Huo Wu's visit to Yin Gong was a little disappointed, he originally thought that this famous Confucian would be as well-read and memorable as Zhao Yun, but he was so old and faint. Huo Wu and the others left Jiaozhou Mansion disappointed, but saw Huo Xin's car parked outside the mansion. Seeing the emperor come out, Huo Xin immediately got out of the car, walked to Huo Wu, and said with a deep salute: "The minister didn't know that the emperor was asking Duke Yin, and it was long overdue, so I asked the emperor to forgive him." ”

"The prime minister doesn't have to blame himself, I just want Wang Juan to accompany him, what is the prime minister's crime?"

Wang Juan hurriedly stepped forward to apologize and said: "It's all the ministers who are ineffective, and the emperor moves the holy car." ”

Huo Xin asked, "What?" Didn't it go well? ”

Wang Juan didn't speak, just sighed.

Before getting into the car, Huo Wu turned back to Huo Xin and said, "It can't be said that there is nothing. By asking Yin Gong about politics, I have strengthened my belief that our dynasty will vigorously promote young people in terms of employment. When an official reaches a certain age, he or she should retire for the rest of his life. ”

Huo Xin asked again, "Then how to treat Yin Gong?" ”

"Since we were invited by Anche, we can't let him go back again, so let's reward him with a middle doctor! Regarding the construction of the Daming Hall, you still have to ask him more for advice. ”

"That's right! When it comes to reusing young people, I think of one thing. That ASUS is capable, and recently found a sister for me, and the Queen Mother also has the meaning of reward, so I will promote him to the doctor! Early tomorrow, it will be announced together with Yin Gong's gift. Huo Wu said and got into the car.

Although Huo Xin had a lot of complaints about Huashuo, the emperor didn't consult him at all, and he couldn't say anything......

The girl in the Zhengjiao room pushed open the window, looked at the snowflakes flying outside, and screamed "ah", and the joy came to her brows. The pine trees and hibiscus in the compound are covered with white snowflakes, and when the wind blows, they fall to the ground.

Standing in the corner of the palace courtyard of the plum tree, the wax is full of branches, sparse shadows swaying, dark fragrance floating, one of the new branches, decorated with three or five early flowers, surrounded by many budding buds, covered with snow, stretched straight to the window.

The snow eel closed its eyes slightly, took a deep breath of fresh air, and indulged in the intoxication of drinking sweetness. She instructed Gong'e and the guards to add charcoal to the brazier, and in a moment the hall was full of ambiguity.

The snow eel commanded them to clean the inside and outside of the temple, leaving only the snow in the courtyard untouched. The daughter's family is soft-hearted, and she feels that this snow is clear and clear when it is water, and it is not stained with dust when it is cloudy.

With such a heart, she came to Yin Guohua's tent and whispered: "Niangniang, it's snowing outside today." ”

Yin Guohua opened his sleepy eyes and said a little lazily: "What's so strange about snowing?" What year does it not snow in this long county town? The eel then said no more, but waited by the queen and obeyed the queen's orders.

Having been by the queen's side for a long time, she is familiar with the queen's moody personality. She knew that the queen's character was inseparable from her pampering since childhood and the emperor's long-term neglect, and she sometimes sympathized with this graceful and luxurious woman in her heart, feeling that she was not as happy as the women in the courtyard.

The ladies were diligent and careful at this time, and they quickly dressed and washed the queen, powdered Shi Dan, swept the moth eyebrows, and wore jewelry.

It took about half an hour before the queen finally lifted the curtain and walked into the hall. The two palace ladies who had been waiting for a long time came forward with a soup cup for gargling and a medicinal soup in their hands. The snow eel said: "This is the new medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor yesterday, it has just been fried, please take it while it is hot." ”

"What is this dose?"

"There are probably dozens of doses."

"This palace is almost a medicine jar." Yin Guohua's brows condensed into a knot, "Why is there no result?" Probably because this palace is destined not to conceive the dragon species. This medicine is disgusting when I smell it, forget it, don't drink it, don't drink it! ”

Snow Eel took the medicinal soup from Gong E's hand, knelt on her knees and persuaded: "Niangniang! The doctor said that from this dose, a few new medicines have been added, all of which are to replenish qi and promote pregnancy. For the sake of the mother, and for the queen mother, please take this medicine! ”

Yin Guohua's heart throbbed up and down, the snow eel was right, no matter how bitter the medicine is, it can't be bitter as the ending of the dragon species being abolished, right? The brown potion tied her fate.

Yin Guohua finally listened to the snow eel's advice, took the medicinal soup, closed his eyes and drank it. Gong E immediately handed over the soup cup for gargling, Yin Guohua rinsed his mouth, and silently read in his heart: I hope this medicine can make Bengong pregnant with a son.

The snow eel gently stroked Yin Guohua's back, and only when her breathing calmed down did she help her go to see the snow.

She moved the lotus step to the window, and at first, she did pass a brief moment of joy between her brows for the brightness, purity, and crystalline of the snow, and she even romantically thought of asking that Sima Tan to make a snow fu, and let the musician compose a song and sing it. But this state of mind did not last long, and her moth eyebrows frowned together, showing a faint trace of melancholy.

"Alas! Although this snow is exceptionally clean, after all, the color is too monotonous, and the spring flowers are less gorgeous. She felt that the monotonous colors were as oppressive as her own monotonous court life, "When the weather is fine, the palace can also go to the garden to have a look." But on days like this, isn't this palace even more boring? ”

The snow eel knew that it was not this snow that made the queen unhappy at all, but the emperor. He didn't come to the Zhengjiao room last night, so the queen waited lonely all night.

At this time, a few foraging house finches "chirped" outside the window, and this cry made the snow eel suddenly find a wonderful way to relieve the queen's melancholy. She asked cautiously, in a tentative tone: "Niangniang, the slave has a sentence, I don't know if I should say it?" ”

"If you have something to say, what are you doing?" Yin Guohua glanced at the snow eel.

"! When the slave and maid were in the countryside, they were very bored every time they encountered such a day. But at that time, we had a fun thing, which was to play with Puluo to catch house birds, which was quite interesting. ”

"Is it really fun?"

"How dare a slave deceive her mother?"

"Then have fun!"

"No!" The snow eel agreed with a smile.

After a while, the ladies found ropes, cattails, and grains. The snow eel deftly tied the rope to the poudo, and then gently pulled it in through the window, and he propped it up with a stick, and sprinkled some grains underneath. Then, tiptoeing back to the temple, he waited quietly at the window.

After a while, a house finch came out to feed. It looked around vigilantly to make sure there was no threat before jumping into the porot and greedily pecking at the grains. The palace ladies played this kind of game for the first time, and they all held their breath, opened their eyes wide, and those who couldn't hold back their temperament and wanted to reach out to pull the rope were all pulled by the snow eel, and she said that they must wait for the house finches to eat before they can start.

Everyone then waited quietly, until the finch had eaten half of the grain, the snow eel made a gesture, and a palace lady immediately pulled the rope, and only heard the sound of "plop", and the house finch was detained under the paulo.

The poor finch was frightened, and "chirping" flapped its wings under the pu luo to find a way out, and the palace ladies cheered and shouted: "Niangniang! Caught it! Caught it! ”

Yin Guohua was infected by everyone's emotions, and the girl's feelings climbed into her heart again, and she was surrounded by everyone and came to the hospital. The snow eel brushed aside the snow, and the slender hand reached into Pu Luo's dizzy finch and jumped into the palm of the snow eel. The ladies quickly found an orange silk thread, tied the red claws of the finch, and held it to the queen.

The finch was held by Yin Guohua's hand and jumped in horror. Yin Guohua stroked the finch brown feathers, stopped at its neck, and hummed: "Do you still want to run?" Hongu to see where you can go?! ”

Yin Guohua let out a cold laugh from the depths of his throat: "You hateful guy, there are times when you fall into the hands of this palace?" Hum! Die! Suddenly, she lifted the bird and threw it to the ground.

Instead of arousing Yin Guohua's sympathy, the finches' wails aroused her even greater anger, scolding in her mouth, "Let you run!" Let you run! She fell several more times in succession, and at last the finch was so angry that she lay on the ground and did not move. Seeing this, Yin Guohua suddenly turned around and shouted: "What do you see, why don't you hurry up and throw that nasty thing out?" ”

The snow eel looked at the queen's distorted face in surprise, and felt that the queen, who used to look young and beautiful, turned out to be such an ugly woman. What a boring and terrifying game, the tragic scene hung over the hearts of the snow eel, the palace eel, and the guards like the grim shadow of the queen. Everyone went in and out with a heart, for fear of provoking the queen and causing death.

Sure enough, the death of the finch had not yet made Yin Guohua angry, and after a while, she passed the palace into the palace and scolded: "Are you resentful of the palace in your heart?" In the past half a day, I was so tired that my lips were dry, and no one came to tea? ”

A palace lady hurriedly went to make tea, held it above her head, and said tremblingly: "Niangniang uses tea." ”

Yin Guohua took the tea, licked it with his tongue, took a "sizzle" breath, and splashed the tea towards Gong E, shouting: "Are you going to burn the palace?" Come! ”

The guards of the Zhengjiao room came in at the sound and stood with their hands down one by one.

"Drag this slut down and get twenty lashes."

"No!"

The guards were about to leave, when Yin Guohua shouted behind him: "Strip off her shoes and let her stand barefoot." ”

Then, there was a cry of Gong E begging for mercy outside the hall, Yin Guohua laughed out loud when he heard it, but the ensuing sentence made the Gong E's on the side cold to the bones, because a few timid Gong E's cried.

"What are you crying about? Are you going to curse Hongu? Snow eel, let them slap their mouths. ”

The ladies then stood in two rows and slapped each other's faces, and in a moment, each face was covered with red marks. At this time, the guards of the execution ran in in a panic and shouted, "Niangniang! Empress! Oh no, that Gong'e is dead. ”

"Ahh Yin Guohua was taken aback at first, but soon calmed down.

"It's so unbeaten!" She gritted her teeth, and suddenly raised her voice and said, "No one is allowed to say anything about today's events, otherwise you will be ghosts one by one." Do you hear that? ”

"I hear you."

"Get down!"

……

On this day, Yin Guohua cried and laughed like this, and it was not until after noon that he fell asleep, and the Zhengjiao room was quiet.

The palace ladies wept quietly around the snow eel, and they all felt that there was no such day, and it was better to die happily. The snow eel gently stroked the red and swollen faces of the palace ladies and shook her head helplessly.

Alas! Why is fate so tormentary? When it comes to age, the queen is on par with them, if they are by their parents' side, which of them is not the pearl of their parents' palms? Just because they were born in thatched huts, should they be so lowly and slaughtered? But the snow eel is only a female princess, and no matter how much she sympathizes with them, it will not help.

She can only think of ways to comfort them, saying that the world is like this, she can only accept her fate and endure it, and she must not have the idea of suicide. In this deep palace, the death of a palace lady is no different from the death of a finch. If God has eyes and is taken by the emperor one day, maybe there will be a turnaround......

In the evening, the snow stopped, the clouds thinned, and a ray of sunset emerged from the western sky. Zhengjiaofang Zhan Shi suddenly hurried down from the compound crossing outside the hall and said to the snow eel that the emperor had arrived. Before the words fell, a long message was heard: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

"Emperor-up-on-drive-arrive!"

This voice couldn't help but make Yin Guohua flustered, she hurriedly changed her clothes and makeup, and just after packing up, Huo Wu had already stepped into the palace gate.

"The concubines welcome the holy driver."

"Flat!"

"Emperor Xie!"

Huo Wu glanced back at Hun Sen, who was following behind him, and said, "You go back first, I will live in Zhengjiao Room tonight." ”

"No!" Hun Sen replied happily. For a long time, he didn't hear the emperor say this.

"The police stayed, and the others went back to the palace with our family." His shrill voice rang out outside the temple door.

The happiest people count the snow eels. Oh, yes! Although the emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, in terms of the relationship between husband and wife, he is actually no different from ordinary people. She believed that the arrival of the emperor would definitely turn the ice and snow in the queen's heart into spring water, and she happily sent a message to the imperial dining room to prepare wine and food for the emperor, and instructed the palace and the guards to add fire to the charcoal basin and the warm wall, and bake a pepper room warm.

Huo Wu was in a good mood today, he kindly asked about Yin Guohua's situation, and talked about the interesting stories of chasing and playing in his childhood, which made Yin Guohua cover his mouth and smile. This rare scene made the snow eel secretly surprised, the emperor was already a mature man. His youthful eyes receded from the childishness of his youth and became more manly, and a shallow beard grew on his angular lips......

The snow eel suddenly found herself distracted, her cheeks couldn't help but feel a little feverish, and she was even more afraid, if the queen found out, would she still have her life? Fortunately, the wine and food from the Imperial Dining House were delivered, and the snow eel used his hands and feet to hide his panicked heart......

……

As the movement progressed step by step, the emperor's angry rebuke came from the curtain.

"Presumptuous! Are you going to spoil my interest? ”

"The emperor can't be quiet, there are people outside!"

"It's because you don't know the current affairs, and you spoil my interest!"

"As a queen, why can't the concubine ask for some public land for her aunt?"

"When Emperor Gang was alive, my aunt occupied the public land. Since I ascended the throne, I have been rewarded many times, not to mention nearly 10,000 hectares, so insatiable, how can I rectify the dynasty? How else to implement the new system? ”

"What did the emperor shout, did the emperor forget the beginning? If there is no aunt, will the emperor be the prince? The emperor couldn't be the prince at the beginning, can he have today? ”

"Are you trying to blackmail me? What I want to inherit is the Great Huo Jiangshan. Come! ”

What's wrong with this, just returned to the clouds and water, why did it fall out? The snow eel beat a drum in his heart, and replied through the curtain: "The slave is here!" ”

Huo Wu roared almost hoarsely: "The sedan chair is waiting, I want to go back to Changle Palace!" ”

The snow eel panicked, didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly sent a message about Zhengjiaofang Zhan......

Huo Wu returned to Changle Palace, and did not fall asleep until before dawn, and when he woke up, Hun Sen was already waiting by his side.

"When is it now?" Huo Wu stretched out his sore arm and asked.

"It's already late hours, and the ministers have been waiting for two hours at the jukumon."

Huo Wu sat up with a "ah" and regretted: "I overslept, it's all that hateful Yin Guohua." ”

After a pause, he asked, "Is there anything going on with the ministers?" If there is nothing important, you can announce the dissolution of the dynasty on my behalf! ”

"Your Majesty! This ......"

"What is this? Didn't you see that I slept late last night? In this way, go quickly to spread my will. ”

"No!" Hun Sen walked out of the greenhouse hall with mixed feelings and ran to the front hall.
