Empress Xiao's intention was obvious, that is, to use the luxurious scenery and countless beauties in Shanglin Xiyuan to attract Liu Ziqiu's attention, so that Liu Ziqiu could accept Yang Qi's Zen position as soon as possible

After listening to Liu Ziqiu's words, Empress Xiao laughed: "As long as Lord Liu accepts the Zen position of Qi'er and takes over the world of the Great Sui, you will give as many people as you want, and you will give as many people as you want, all in the mind of Lord Liu."

Empress Xiao said it so obviously, and the people around her were dumbfounded

In fact, Liu Ziqiu doesn't want to sit on the throne of the emperor, only by sitting in that position, many of his ideas and measures can be more forcefully implemented, but people should also consider the timing when they sit in that position

At present, Liu Ziqiu has mastered most of the officials under his command, at least on the surface, they support Liu Ziqiu, what is lacking now is only the support from the family, as for the ordinary people, as long as they can let them have a full meal, who really cares who sits in the world

There are seven of the top families in the world, and among these seven families, the Li family in Longxi and the Wang family in Taiyuan have all made it clear that they support Liu Ziqiu, and although the other five families have also had contacts with Liu Ziqiu, their attitudes are still unclear

So Liu Ziqiu didn't think that the time was ripe, so he couldn't help but smile and snort: "Qi Niangniang is just visiting the garden today, don't talk about state affairs"

Gao Xiu'er was the most intelligent, knew Liu Ziqiu's intentions, and quickly diverted the topic and said: "It's been three years since the concubine left Xiyuan for a while, but I miss the sisters in the courtyard very much, why don't we go there and have a look."

At the beginning, Yang Guang chose the Qi yīn courtyard for the first stop, and Empress Xiao also knew that there were two beauties in the Qi yīn courtyard that were comparable to Gao Xiu'er, her purpose was to attract Liu Ziqiu, so naturally she nodded without objection and said: "The mourning family has this intention."

Wang Guizhi suddenly found that there was no such thing as her, and he was a little unwilling in his heart, but he had no choice but to say a blessing: "Congratulations to the mother, congratulations to the benefactor"

Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "Although Mrs. Wang's West Garden is not a place to stay for a long time, it is better to go with Liu."

Wang Guizhi was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Empress Xiao, of course Empress Xiao was happy to see Qicheng, smiled and nodded

……

The breeze blows through the lake, the waves are undulating, the catkins are flying, the fragrance of flowers is striking people, walking on the lakeside, one step at a time, Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but sigh secretly, Gao Xiuer hurried two steps, and whispered: "Husband, don't you want to accept Yunli Xishi"

Liu Ziqiu smiled and shook his head: "I have ulterior motives for my husband to take her out"

Shanglin Xiyuan has not been in and out of the courtyard for a long time, the ladies and beauties of the courtyards have gradually developed the habit of laziness, when their group went to Jingmingyuan, it was still early, many beauties did not get up, stayed in Jingmingyuan for a while, and then came out of the lakeside, there were already a lot of people, but these people were probably stuffy in the garden for a long time, and people seemed to have lost their aura, seeing this line of people walking by, but they were indifferent, but Qiyin Courtyard was different, and from a distance, I saw twenty beautiful young women already waiting there

As the wife of the presiding officer, Xie Xiangwen saw a large group of people walking towards Qi yīn Courtyard, hurriedly stepped forward, recognized that it was actually Empress Xiao who walked in front, and couldn't help but be taken aback, and quickly bowed to the ground and said: "Niangniang Ankang, slave maid, isn't it in a dream?"

Empress Xiao smiled and pulled Xie Xiangwen up: "Mrs. Xie doesn't have to be polite, how do you know that the mourning family is coming here?"

Xie Xiangwen looked up and saw Liu Ziqiu slightly surprised, but he didn't dare to ask Queen Xiao, so he lowered his head and said: "Sister Ziyan watched the stars last night and said that there will be a noble person coming in the garden today, so the slave maid led the sisters to wait here early in the morning, and sure enough, I saw Niangniang."

The nineteen beauties standing in the back stepped forward to see Li Xiao, and Queen Xiao recognized Yuan Ziyan's left hand, pulled Xie Xiangwen, pulled Yuan Ziyan with her right hand, and said: "The mourning family already knew that Yuan Meiren was a strange woman, and she didn't want to have magical powers, so that the emperor should have persuaded him to take Yuan Meiren with him, or it could avoid a disaster."

Although Yuan Ziyan also had a smile on her face, she was a little surprised in her heart, and then she looked back and saw Liu Ziqiu behind her, only to be relieved, although she was in Xiyuan, she was not allowed to do it, but as long as the weather was good, she would definitely go to watch the sky at night, and last night, Ziwei Star suddenly increased in light, and there was a Ming Jun in the main world, and under the light, it was where Qi yīn Courtyard was located, that Ming Jun should have a lot to do with Qi Yīn Courtyard, maybe he would come to Qi Yīn Courtyard today

Empress Xiao is a woman, of course, it can't be Mingjun, there is only one man in this line, young, tall, handsome, Yintang, full of righteousness, awe-inspiring, it should be Mingjun, undoubtedly, although Yuan Ziyan can watch the stars, but he can't make up his mind for a while

But I heard another woman laugh and said: "Sister Xie and sister Yuan, do you still recognize me?"

Several women with Empress Xiao are all very beautiful, but they can be selected as the principal lady and beauty in Xiyuan, which one is not confident in their appearance, except for Hua Yun, who slightly attracted their attention because she was too tall, they really didn't look at Gao Xiu'er and Lin Qiao'er at a glance, of course, they didn't envy Hua Yun, who was a head taller than them, and only sympathized with such a tall woman, it must be difficult to marry

At this moment, they suddenly heard someone greeting them, Xie Xiangwen and Yuan Ziyan were both slightly stunned, and after taking a closer look, they exclaimed in unison: "Sister of the Shi family (sister)"

In fact, Gao Xiu'er's appearance has not changed much, but she is married to a wife and a new mother, her face is a little more rich and kind, Xie Xiangwen and Yuan Ziyan didn't pay attention for a while, and they couldn't even recognize it

Gao Xiu'er smiled: "Actually, I don't call Shi Huiniang, my real name is Gao Xiu'er" and pointed at Liu Ziqiu and said: "This is my husband"

Xie Xiangwen was very surprised, and there was a hint of envy on his face, and he said quietly: "Congratulations to my sister."

Gao Xiu'er smiled and said: "Sister Xiangwen, you are a member of the Xie family in Jiangnan, in fact, if you talk about it in detail, you and I should be cousins, we are a family, I will let my husband ask Niangniang for a favor and let you out of the garden."

Xie Xiangwen's entry into the palace was originally the top secret of the Xie family in Jiangnan, and it was difficult for outsiders to know, but the Changshan Carriage and Horse Shop was specially responsible for collecting intelligence from all aspects, and naturally kept an eye on the Xie family's every move. Yuan Ziyan made friends, and she had already guessed her origin from some of the information in the Xie family, as for Gao Xiuer's own life experience, she didn't want to tell outsiders, but Liu Ziqiu enlightened her, Xie Zhaoyi followed Gao Gong was also forced by the situation, and no matter how she said it, it was also her mother, and she had no right to blame her parents as a child

Seeing that Gao Xiu'er and Xie Xiangwen recognized their relatives, Yuan Ziyan couldn't help but blurt out: "Sister Xiu'er, you ...... You're getting prettier and prettier."

In fact, she originally wanted to say, "Sister Xiu'er, you also help me intercede and release me from the garden", but when the words came to her mouth, she was still a little reserved and held back

In the past few years, Gao Xiu'er has already experienced too many things, and her insight into people has increased greatly, and she still doesn't know what Yuan Ziyan means, so she couldn't help but smile and said: "Sister Yuan, didn't you calculate your future by stargazing last night?"

Yuan Ziyan didn't hide it, and muttered: "According to the astrological signs, Sister Xie and I should have an encounter, but it's just ......."

Her words are half-true and half-false, and the astrological signs can only see that the world is about to change hands, and where can they see their future, but Yuan Ziyan knows that this is a rare opportunity, she must firmly grasp it, no matter who Gao Xiu'er marries, she can be personally accompanied by Empress Xiao to enter Shanglin Xiyuan, and her identity is naturally extraordinary, and this man is heroic, and marrying him as a concubine is not a loss, once upon a time, Yuan Ziyan calculated that she would have a fate with the Son of Heaven, but with spending so many boring rì on Shanglin Xiyuan, she is also a little unconfident in her astrology, but please leave this place as soon as possible

Gao Xiu'er didn't understand the meaning of her words, just nodded and said, "Since you have the same fate as Sister Xie, then go with us."

Of course, Gao Xiu'er originally planned to take Yuan Ziyan with her, after all, the three of them were good sisters when they were in Qiyīn Courtyard, and Gao Xiu'er also understood that the current situation actually didn't need Liu Ziqiu to ask for help, as long as she said a word, Queen Xiao didn't dare not agree

Of course, Xie Xiangwen and Yuan Ziyan didn't know that Empress Xiao and Emperor Yang Qi were just puppets, and the two of them looked at Empress Xiao with a blank eye, and saluted together: "Ask the queen to be fulfilled."

Empress Xiao smiled and said, "Mrs. Xie and Yuan Meiren, it is not difficult for you to leave Xiyuan, as long as Lord Liu is willing to agree to one thing to mourn the family."

Of course, Liu Ziqiu understood what she wanted to say, looked around, and couldn't help but say: "Please consider the matter of the Zen throne of the Niangniang Emperor in the long run."

The Zen position is a big deal, he always can't make up his mind, and he has to discuss it with his subordinates, Zhao Ling, He Chou, Of course, Yu Wenkai and these people can't wait for Liu Ziqiu to be the emperor now, they are the heroes who followed Liu Ziqiu from the beginning, and they can enjoy the glory and wealth, but Liu Ziqiu believes more in Li Jing and Wei Zheng, their grasp of the general situation is more accurate than Liu Ziqiu, although Li Jing is in Luoyang, but Liu Ziqiu was busy in the cave yesterday and spent candle nights, and he didn't have time to talk to Li Jing about it, and Wei Zheng had just set off from Yanguan, and he would arrive here in half a month at the earliest, without the consent of these two people, Liu Ziqiu would definitely not easily accept Yang Qi's Zen position
