The emperor looked at the queen with a look of grievance and wrongedness.

I feel irritable inexplicably.

Over the years, he has been constrained by Jiang Guogong and the queen for too long, so long that he has been annoyed, tired, and tired.

He always thought that no matter how these people fought, they would take into account the national capital of Qiguo, but he really didn't expect that these maggots would ignore the country and move their ideas to the army.

Soldiers of the army, what is that existence? Although they are all grassroots, they are the guarantee of national tranquility, and it is precisely because of them fighting on the front line at the border that there can be a peaceful and prosperous era of Qiguo.

However, these people actually did something about such a national matter, which he could not bear.

And today's incident also strengthened him to speed up the pace of eradicating the forces of the Jiang Guogong Mansion.

So in the face of the queen's loyalty and grievances, he was not moved at all.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the emperor slapped it on the bookcase on the side, making a loud bang. The queen was taken aback.

"Nothing to do with the Guogong Mansion?" The emperor's eyes were sharp, like a knife cutting on the queen's body.

The queen's heart was already in her heart, and she couldn't help but sweat on her back.

She thought that the emperor would not know about the affairs of the Guogong Mansion, but she didn't expect that the emperor had been pretending to be confused all along?

Or did they think things too simply, how could he, as the king of a country, be fooled so easily?

But the queen understood that she couldn't be weak-hearted, and said: "The concubine doesn't understand what the emperor is talking about. ”

"Is it the property of the Guogong Mansion, I believe you know it well, since you are the mother of a country, you should have the appearance of the mother of the country, and be less involved in some side things, I see that you will stay in Kunning Palace these days, and don't walk around indiscriminately, see some people, lest this fire accidentally burn you." The emperor said indifferently.

These words are tantamount to putting the queen under house arrest in Kunning Palace in disguise.

The queen was furious in her heart and said indignantly: "Your Majesty, the concubine is the mother of a country, are you putting the concubine under house arrest in Kunning Palace like this, do you want the concubine to lose face?" ”

The emperor looked at her indifferently: "Empress, do you still know your own identity?" What do you do, where is the half of what a queen should look like? I'm tired, come here, send the queen back. ”

"Yes." A guard came in outside, first answered, and then said to the queen: "Niangniang, please." ”

The queen glared at him, gritted her teeth, and followed the guard for a moment.

was said to be sent by the guards, but in fact he returned to Kunning Palace under the supervision of the guard.

After the guards left, the queen angrily smashed all the things in the house.

This is the first time she has been so out of shape since she became a queen.

After venting for a while, she summoned her confidant Mama Huang to prepare things and sent the news she got from the emperor today out of the palace and to Jiang Guogong.

Yan Jie had been waiting for news in Jiang Guogong's mansion, and when he saw Jiang Guogong's face slightly changing after reading a letter, he was suddenly anxious.

"Master, what does this letter say? Does it have anything to do with the shop? Yan Jie asked a little anxiously.

The Yan family's shop is his life's work, and it is normal for him to be tight.

"No, it's a side business. You go back and wait for my news, I've already asked someone to deal with this, and there will be news soon. "Jiang Guo is fair.

Yan Jie saw that Jiang Guogong looked like he had something to do, and he also knew that his backer was him, and he had to listen to him, so he could only say: "Then the subordinate will leave first." ”

After Yan Jie left, Jiang Guogong read the letter again, and then burned the letter and said a pity.

His henchmen looked at him from the side, and said, "Why didn't the master leave this Yan Jie behind?" Once the emperor investigates thoroughly, if this Yan Jie bites you out, it will be "too late!"

He didn't say the last words, but how could Jiang Guogong not understand?

He has been in officialdom all his life. In the end, he can have this status, can have the current scenery, and the forces in the dark, not all rely on his own planning!

Jiang Guogong smiled schemingly, "If this Yan Jie wants to have an accident, he can't have an accident in the Guogong Mansion." Since the emperor wants to deal with him, we can't help the emperor from doing it, otherwise we should force the emperor to do it directly to the Guogong Mansion. After Yan Jie is arrested, there is no need to worry about whether the dog will jump over the wall and bite people indiscriminately, he will definitely count on his father to catch him when he just goes in, but since he has become a waste, there is no need to keep it, you should understand the reason for abandoning the car to protect the handsome. ”

In the end, this statement is obviously ruthless.

"The subordinates understand, they will order it in a while, and once they do something serious, they will do it immediately." The henchman responded decisively, and then frowned again: "But this Yan Jie is our biggest source of income, if this falls, where will we get this money in the future?" ”

"It doesn't matter, I've saved a lot over the years, plus the income from the side, it's enough to last for a few years. It's just that the emperor suddenly made a move on Yan Jie, I'm afraid that he has already targeted me. We're running out of time. Jiang Guogong suddenly sighed.

The henchman looked at the newly added white hair on Jiang Guogong's head, and silently hung his head without stubble.

Jiang Guogong didn't notice his expression, what he was thinking about at the moment was another thing!

"The piece of jade in Huo Chen's hand, hasn't there been any news for so long?" When Jiang Guogong asked this, his face was gloomy.

The henchman hurriedly knelt on the ground with a puff and said: "Back to the master, this jade is indeed in the hands of the King of Zhennan, but our people have never been able to get it, this King of Zhennan has profound martial arts, and none of our people are opponents." ”

"Solved without being an opponent? What is the old man doing with you waste? Jiang Guogong suddenly became angry, shook his hand and smashed the teacup in his hand.

The henchman didn't dare to hide, he was smashed by the teacup, and knelt on the ground without arguing.

The room was quiet for a while.

After a while, the henchman spoke: "Speaking of which, Yan Hao, the son of Yan Jie, offended the King of Zhennan a few days ago, what you said about this incident, will it be the revenge of the King of Zhennan?" ”

The words of the henchman made Jiang Guogong fall in love. After the henchman told him what had happened, he suddenly had a bottom in his heart.

He understood that since this matter was involved with Huo Chen, he couldn't take it lightly.

Huo Chen, like his dead father, is not easy to deal with, no, it is even more difficult to deal with.

Jiang Guogong thought about it, ordered his henchmen to come forward, and gave him a few low commands.

After hearing this, the henchman answered yes, and then left in a hurry. And Jiang Guogong also got up and left his study.

The wind is surging above the court, and the back house of the Zhennan Wangfu is not calm.

Yun Xiangrong sat in Li Mingyue's room, drinking tea slowly and methodically, without the slightest urgency.

Li Mingyue looked at her light and breezy appearance, and the anger in her heart did not come to a place.

Yun Xiangrong came back yesterday, but she didn't mean to come to greet her at all, she was afraid of Huo Chen, but she was not afraid of Yun Xiangrong.

Calling Yun Xiangrong over today was to give her a dismount, but she didn't expect Yun Xiangrong to be so calm, she had a feeling that she was at a loss.

didn't wait for her to speak, but Li Xiaofei was her own maid. Walked in from outside like a weak willow supporting the wind.

"Xiaofei has seen her aunt and cousin." Li Xiaofei first saluted the two, and then as if she couldn't suppress it, she couldn't stop coughing while pinching the handkerchief, looking at it, it seemed like she was about to cough out her lungs.

"Hey, Feifei, you see that your illness is not cured, what are you going to ask me to come to ask for peace, this must be filial and you can't ignore your body. It's not like some people, who are so upright, and they don't know that they want to come to ask for peace, so they sent someone to invite her over, and they sat like an uncle. Li Mingyue said sneeringly.

"Ahem, ahem." Li Xiaofei coughed again in a series of rapid coughs.

Seeing this, Li Mingyue's face was immediately full of anxiety, and she glared at Li Xiaofei's maid again, and said anxiously: "Why don't you help your young lady sit down, what are you doing there!" ”

"Yes." When the maid heard this, she hurriedly helped Li Xiaofei to sit down.

Li Xiaofei smiled and said, "Auntie, you're too worried, I'm just feeling cold and cold, it's not a big deal." ”

"Look you're coughing like that. It's not a big deal. You're not in good health now, so don't walk around the house more, lest some people be unguarded! Li Mingyue said sarcastically, looking at Yun Xiangrong from time to time.

Yun Xiangrong sat upright, drinking tea slowly, his face indifferent.

Li Xiaofei set her eyes on Yun Xiangrong's body, with a gentle smile on her delicate face, and said, "Auntie, don't talk like this, we are all a family, how can there be anything to prevent." ”

"Family? I'm afraid that you treat others as family, but people don't treat you as family, how did you forget about your illness? Li Mingyue looked like she hated iron but not steel.

Li Xiaofei smiled indifferently, her expression was very gentle, and said, "Auntie, don't say that, I don't blame my cousin-in-law, she must be worried."

"Worried about what?" Yun Xiangrong finally said the first sentence of the day, unhurried, and his posture was very leisurely.

Li Xiaofei's face seemed to flash a shy flush.

Yun Xiangrong looked at it and smiled faintly. said: "Oh yes, my mother is your aunt, I really should be worried, I heard that during the days when I and the prince were away, she took care of you by herself, this heart is really rare." In the future, she will definitely choose a good family for you, so that you can marry and enjoy the glory and wealth. Yun Xiangrong said and paused.

"As for your illness, it has nothing to do with this princess, what does it mean that my cousin has said that she is sick three or four times?" Yun Xiangrong's face was slightly cold, and he looked at Li Xiaofei indifferently.

For a while, Li Xiaofei only felt that her surroundings were full of cold coercion, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.

After a while, Li Xiaofei's face suddenly turned pale, and she said in a low voice: "My cousin-in-law is joking, I am still young now, and I still want to spend more time with my parents, so I am not in a hurry to get married so soon." As for the illness, it was all a misunderstanding on the part of my aunt, and I asked my cousin not to take it to heart. ”

"Misunderstanding, I understand." Yun Xiangrong opened his mouth with a smile and said, "But I don't believe my cousin when she says she doesn't want to get married." My cousin lives in the palace, isn't it because my mother wants to help you find a good family? Otherwise, my cousin lives in the palace like this, and people who don't know still think that my cousin has taken a fancy to our prince and wants to marry our prince. ”

Yun Xiangrong smiled without any guilt, as if what he said was really just a joke, without the slightest lethality.

However, these words blocked Li Mingyue and Li Xiaofei's aunt and nephew in a panic, and they couldn't speak with a blue face.

"Mother's face doesn't seem to be very good? But it's too tiring to work day and night in the palace? Since this is the case, the daughter-in-law will not disturb her mother and go back first. Yun Xiangrong said and was about to get up and leave.

"You wait. In a few days, there will be a banquet at the home of Lord Zhang of Honglu Temple, you prepare a ceremony, and I will take you to participate in it then. Li Mingyue shouted to Yun Xiangrong.

Yun Xiangrong glanced up at her, "Mother is right, you want me to prepare a congratulatory gift?" The middle feed in this house is not under my control. Could it be that what the prince said last time my mother remembered it in her heart. Are you going to give me the key to this storehouse? ”

said with a smile, and said: "That's okay, after all, my mother is already old, and it's time to enjoy the blessings, so it's good to hand over the key to the treasury in the house to me, and let me take care of it, so that my mother doesn't have to work so hard." ”

Li Mingyue almost didn't choke to death, she couldn't wait to reach out and tear Yun Xiangrong's smiling face.

finally gritted her teeth and suppressed the resentment in her heart, Li Mingyue smiled and said, "You are still too young." At this time, it is too early to give you the power of the family, I am a little worried, and I will talk about this later. ”

"Mother, I'm not young, and I used to be a housekeeper before, so if my mother is worried that I'm inexperienced, she can rest assured." Yun Xiangrong said with a smile.

"Don't compare those small households outside with my town's Nanwang Mansion. The palace is so big, there are so many things, how can you, a little girl, take over all at once. I'm always getting old day by day, this palace will be yours sooner or later, why are you in a hurry! Li Mingyue thought that Yun Xiangrong had married Zhou Mu, and scolded with a sneer on her face.

Yun Xiangrong's smiling face suddenly turned cold, and said: "It turns out that my mother thinks that the Prime Minister's Mansion is a small family, and it seems that I still climbed the Zhennan Palace." ”

"When did I say that the Prime Minister's Mansion is a small family?" Li Mingyue was dumbfounded.

"When I was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I was in charge of the family's treasury, didn't the old princess also say that my Prime Minister's Mansion is a small family? When I rushed Ming'er into the palace to talk about this matter, I had to talk to the Queen Mother and her old man. Yun Xiangrong said with a cold face and stood up.

Li Mingyue didn't expect that she would be wrapped around like this.

"Since the mother looks down on her daughter-in-law so much, the daughter-in-law will retire first." Yun Xiangrong said and left Li Mingyue's house directly.

In the house, Li Mingyue was trembling with anger. I almost didn't have a breath to pass by.

Li Xiaofei cautiously looked at Li Mingyue's ugly face, and said timidly: "Auntie, otherwise let's not fight my cousin's idea, as long as you find a better family for me, my parents won't say anything." ”

Just now she saw that Li Mingyue was not Yun Xiangrong's opponent at all, and Yun Xiangrong did not have the slightest awe of Li Mingyue, Li Mingyue couldn't fight Yun Xiangrong, she just got married, and she was afraid that she would also be wronged.

Thereupon. I have quietly had such a year in my heart.

Li Mingyue suddenly became excited when she heard this, grabbed Li Xiaofei's hand and said: "Then how can it be done, I told your mother that I must let you marry Chen'er, don't worry, since my aunt promised you, she will definitely do it." ”

"Yes, Xiaofei understands." Li Xiaofei replied in a low voice.

In the final analysis, Li Xiaofei is still a little unwilling. If you can marry a man like Huo Chen, it will be as a side room. Concubines, so what? Who wants to settle for a worse one?

Yun Xiangrong didn't care about their twists and turns, and lived his own little life calmly.

Two days later, the next person shouted that Yun Xiangrong followed Li Mingyue to the Honglu Temple Qing Zhang's house for a banquet.

When Yun Xiangrong appeared in front of the gate of Zhennan Wangfu in plain clothes and simple hair accessories, it only made people feel that their eyes suddenly lit up.

If Yun Xiangrong looks very generous and casual, then Li Mingyue and Li Xiaofei, who came out closely, deliberately dressed up and looked very grand.

I saw that Li Xiaofei, who was still pale two days ago, looked extraordinarily energetic today, with a red face, a pretty face, and a pair of eyes that were shining. Wearing a pink full-breasted skirt and accompanying the same delicate jewelry, it looks very cute and cute.

And Li Mingyue's dress is slightly solemn, wearing a dark red brocade robe on her body, a noble bun and head, and a very young face, which also looks very good.

Yun Xiangrong saw the two of them, greeted them with a smile, and then said to Li Xiaofei: "Cousin, this body is really getting better, I saw you coughing a few days ago, but today you don't cough, and the person seems to be very energetic, this disease seems to be cured." If you want to say that my cousin has changed doctors, I was sick for half a month and didn't get better, but I got better in just a few days, this doctor is really amazing. ”

The smile on Li Xiaofei's face was almost unbearable, and she said in a low voice: "Sister said she was laughing." Today, I just put on some fat powder, and it's not good to go to see people with a sick face. ”

"It was drawn. Then my cousin must introduce this rouge gouache shop to me, and it can be regarded as a miracle to cover up the sick face so flawlessly. What does my cousin say? Yun Xiangrong smiled harmlessly.

"Alright, it's getting late, let's go." Li Mingyue saw that Li Xiaofei was a little embarrassed and couldn't get off the stage, so she interrupted Yun Xiangrong in a cold voice.

Li Mingyue and Li Xiaofei got into the carriage of Zhennan Wangfu, while Yun Xiangrong got into another carriage, which Huo Chen specially prepared for her, or Ge Quan was the coachman, for fear that she would not be used to others.

In the carriage, Yun Xiangrong was crooked on the couch beside him, his fingers tapping lightly on the desk.

I felt the eyes on me from the side. Suddenly opened his eyes and looked.

"Chu'er, what are you looking at me like this?" Yun Xiangrong asked.

Chu Er was first startled by Yun Xiangrong's sudden opening of her eyes, and saw that she didn't mean to blame, so she smiled and said, "Princess, I just feel that the princess has changed a lot, and when I think of the past, I am a little distracted." ”

Chu'er is the old man next to Yun Xiangrong, she has followed Yun Xiangrong since she was a child, and with her loyal protector, Yun Xiangrong is also like a sister to her.

Seeing her say this, her eyebrows rose slightly, and she said, "Where have I changed?" ”

"I can't say how I feel, I just think the princess is getting better and better." Chu Er covered her mouth and smiled, her eyebrows and eyes crooked.

Yun Xiangrong nodded her forehead angrily, "You girl, you are used to pleasing people." ”

If you want to talk about change, Yun Xiangrong naturally changes a lot, just after being reborn, her heart in the Zhou family is like ashes, to regaining her confidence after being deeply loved by Huo Chen, and then to the joy of being cherished by Huo Chen now. Each stage of the mental journey is accompanied by different changes.

The master and servant in the carriage were talking and laughing, but after a while, they had already arrived at Lord Zhang's mansion.

Yun Xiangrong was talking to Chu Er and the others, and the carriage stopped.

"Princess, it's already here." Ge Quan's voice came from outside.

Yun Xiangrong got out of the car and followed Li Mingyue into Lord Zhang's mansion.

As soon as a few people entered the women's seat, Li Mingyue asked a few ladies to sit down, and the parents chatted briefly.

Yun Xiangrong sat behind her, listening to their small talk a little bored.

"Mingyue, the one in white is the famous Princess Xiangrui. looks really generous and noble, no wonder it will be promised to the king of Zhennan. The girl next to her is very eye-catching, whose daughter is it? Someone asked Li Mingyue.

Li Mingyue swept Yun Xiangrong and Li Xiaofei without a trace, and said in a low voice: "That's my brother's daughter, called Xiaofei, don't beat her idea, I have already found her husband's house." ”

The lady let out a lost sigh, and said, "I don't know whose son-in-law I am looking for has such a blessing to marry such a demure girl." ”

Li Mingyue leaned between several ladies, "As the saying goes, fertilizer and water don't flow into outsiders' fields. My niece is a good one, so naturally she has to leave it to her family. ”

"Your son is a blessing." Several ladies suddenly showed all kinds of inexplicable smiles on their faces.

Who doesn't know that Li Mingyue's own son is a gentleman who lingers in the flowers, this Li Mingyue is really good at it, and even his niece is pitted.

These ladies thought that they would have to stay away from her in the future.

Li Mingyue didn't pay attention to their expressions, and said: "You also know my daughter-in-law, the previous things were boiling, but there were rumors that she couldn't have children, and later there were rumors that she and her ex-husband did not have the same room, but no one knows what this story is." What if it really can't be born? I can't let the bloodline of the old Huo family be broken, don't you want my niece to marry Chen'er to be a side room, just in case. ”

"Are you going to give the king of Zhennan a side room? Can he agree? It's rumored that he loves this auspicious princess very much, I'm afraid it's up to you. Someone questioned.

Li Mingyue's face was displeased, and she said: "Look at what you said, I am his mother, and he has always been respectful and filial to me, so he will naturally listen to my arrangement." ”

Seeing that she didn't like it, there was a lady next to her who hurriedly persuaded her, and several noble ladies got together and chattered.

And after the news that Li Mingyue was going to accept Li Xiaofei spread, she gave Huo Chen a filial hat, feeling that this matter was not far away, and the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't help but feel a little more proud.

Her eyes swept over Yun Xiangrong without a trace, her eyes full of ridicule and provocation.

If you want to fight with her, you don't weigh your own ability.

Yun Xiangrong naturally saw Li Mingyue's gaze, and raised his eyebrows slightly, a little puzzled.

At this time, Zhao Xi leaned into her ear and whispered a word.

Yun Xiangrong heard this, raised his eyes to look at Li Mingyue, and a touch of coldness suddenly flashed in his eyes.
