Chapter 139: The Queen Mother
"Today, the mourning family invites you all to come, I want to ask," the queen mother's calm voice did not show joy or anger, like drinking tea under the moon and chatting, leisurely, "Who knows some about the art of war? The mourning family wants to make up a song and dance that integrates the art of war, and practice it first, so as to celebrate the feast when the class teacher returns to the dynasty to sweep away the remnants of Liaohu and return to the dynasty in the coming day." ”
"Empress Dowager, the concubine understands a little~" When a few delicate voices sounded outside the tent, the emperor subconsciously turned his head slowly, and saw behind him at a glance, the great eunuch Qin casually crawled in from the back window, trembling and holding back a hot sweat.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Qin casually walked barefoot, tiptoe to approach the emperor, his voice was so light that he could only breathe, lest he be heard by the people outside the tent, "The Queen Mother's Lafayette's people, search the palace one by one outside!"
"Do you know, what are you searching for?" the Emperor asked softly.
"The old slave doesn't know. I only heard that Mama Yingying took the secret decree of the Queen Mother and entered the palaces, and it took a while to come out. Qin casually looked flustered, "After the fifth prince entered the Shoukang Palace at noon, Lafayette was not right, and he was furious. ”
"Tao'er!?It's really Concubine Xu Shufei's child, I'm afraid that the world will not be chaotic, the habit is exactly the same!!" The emperor snorted, "Go ahead." ”
"Yes!" Qin casually grimaced, and had to pout his ass again, and climbed out to the back window where he had worked so hard to climb in. There was nothing to put his feet on where he climbed outward, and he slipped and slid as he climbed and slid up, looking at Qin Xian's funny appearance of not being able to climb up, but persisting in his unremitting efforts, the emperor almost couldn't help laughing out loud, and snorted softly: "Stay." ”
Qin Xian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been amnesty, and he didn't have time to wipe the sweat on his head, so he quickly turned around and walked back on tiptoe, standing behind the emperor with his waist bowed.
The queen mother in front of the tent asked the concubines to express their opinions, and they were talking one by one, and the atmosphere was peaceful.
With Ying back, he quietly entered the inner hall and shook his head at the Queen Mother.
The queen mother's eyes flickered, and after a touch of fine light, she coughed lightly, and everyone in the hall instantly calmed down.
"You've all spoken very well. After going back, they will practice, and after the mourning family, see which one is better, and perform at the Qingsheng ceremony!" The queen mother said softly, and there was warmth in her voice, "The mourning family let people hide the rewards in your respective palaces, and they all went back to look for it, and when they found it, they all used that thing to think of a lantern riddle, and they fought on the Lantern Festival, and those who won won were rewarded by the mourning family!"
"Yes, Empress Dowager Xie!" After answering neatly again, all the concubines slowly left. After a while, the Queen Mother's Yannian Hall returned to calm, leaving only the aroma of fat powder, which was so rich that it lingered.
"Carry Ying, open the window for ventilation. The Queen Mother waved her handkerchief and complained in a low voice, "Even if the fat powder doesn't cost silver, it takes effort to apply, and it's too fragrant!"
"Queen Mother, can the sons come out?" said the emperor with a smile, "Looking at all the clothes and sideburns of the sons from behind the tent, they are not as good as the back of the queen mother." ”
"Hehe~" When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't help laughing, "How old are you, and you're still so flamboyant!"
"Queen Mother, what are you looking for when you leave the mountain?" the emperor sat down slowly with a smile, picked up the teacup, and took a sip, "Good tea! The snow without a trace of the queen mother's water can always brew this honeysuckle tea with the most refreshing and wonderful taste!"
"Find half a map of the deployment of troops in southern Xinjiang. The queen mother's voice was steady, and she also took a sip of the teacup, "There is sweetness in bitterness, this is not delicious, but you can always remind that peaceful days are not all sweet." ”
"Erchen understands," the emperor's face turned pale, "The queen mother suspects that there are people who have foreign enemies?"
"Yes, as soon as we learned that the map of the deployment of troops in southern Xinjiang was lost, Tao'er found that in his study, there was inexplicably more than half of the map of the deployment of troops. The queen mother said in a relaxed tone, "Tao'er will never charge herself with this big crime of treason, someone must pick a soft persimmon and pinch it, and want to get rid of Tao'er." ”
"And that's just scratching the surface. The Empress Dowager glanced at the emperor whose face began to turn cold, and continued to tell: "Someone can make the southern Xinjiang troop map say that it will be lost, that is, it can already force out our military talisman as much as he wants, in other words, we are already in the palm of the other party." This is the most terrifying thing!"
"Therefore, the mourning family thinks that first finding out the chess pieces that the other party is ambushing us will definitely catch the other party off guard. The Queen Mother gently put down the teacup and pressed the corner of her mouth with a plain brocade handkerchief, "It's a pity, the fish is too deep!"
"What does the queen mother mean, the fine work is hidden in the harem?" The emperor's original ridiculous smile did not have a trace of murderous aura, and a trace of murderous aura flashed in his eyes, "Erchen immediately looked for her!"
"Don't be busy first," the queen mother smiled leisurely, the old treacherous and cunning meaning penetrated the bone marrow, "The opponent only thought that he was in the dark and we were in the light, so he forgot to catch the turtle in the urn! There is also a good show up and down, and the queen mother has not sung yet!"
During the dinner, the strange news spread in the palace was confirmed in the morning of the next day, and the fifth prince Xuanyuan Tao was stripped of his status as a prince and demoted to a commoner.
Seeing that the mansion of the five princes was demolished and the glazed tiles of the prince's system were removed, people on the street were full of discussions.
"I heard that these five princes, no, this Xuanyuan Tao, after the death of his mother Xu Shufei, the phoenix is not as good as a chicken!
"Look at what you can, do you know why this Xuanyuan Tao was stripped of his status as a prince?
"I, I don't know, look at your little appearance, can you know?!"
"Tell me!"
"Big brother, let's hear it!"
"Xuanyuan Tao has become a commoner, what else can't be said?!"
A large number of people gossip, in the noise and chaos, and in the gossip, there are countless versions of Xuanyuan Tao's process of changing from the fifth prince to a commoner.
A carriage swayed slowly, and the two masked brocade-clad teenagers in the carriage were drinking tea without a match.
I heard that Xuanyuan Tao couldn't stand it and couldn't be a prince, so he committed suicide!"
"What!?"
"No, if you don't, the door of your house will be pushed and the roof will be lifted, why won't it appear?!"
"Oh hey, it's a pity! What a prince, if you say no, it's gone?!"
As soon as I heard the noise outside the carriage, I hurriedly put down the teacup, put my ear to the carriage, listened to the movement outside the carriage, and wanted to rush out to join their discussion.
I followed the sound of my ears to listen to the car, so busy, Canghai sat quietly, and from time to time leisurely picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
Inadvertently, I noticed a strong contrast between his stillness and my movements, and I couldn't help but wonder: "Canghai, how strange these rumors are! Aren't you curious at all?"
