Peng Mo looked at Wei Yingran, the queen's mother's family is not prosperous, and the people are thin, and there are only two heirs, the queen and Wei Yingran, and their father Cheng Enhou has become more and more old and frail in recent years, and he has long stopped asking about the affairs of the court, and Wei Yingran, who is the son of the world, only has a name.

If you don't get involved in court politics, there will be no interest party struggle, such a person is the safest, and there is also this reason why the emperor trusts the queen.

"Uncle, will you go with you this autumn hunt?" asked Jin Roujia, who wanted to show him the newly tamed horse.

Wei Yingran thought seriously for a while, and smiled lightly: "If my body allows, I will go." ”

Jin Roujia pouted, his uncle said that it was no fun, but he was not in good health and couldn't force it, and said in frustration: "Oh, I know." ”

"Mother, I have something to say to you alone. Wei Yingran said and looked at Jin Roujia and Peng Mo apologetically.

"Jia'er, you take Peng Mo to the small garden to sit down first. The queen pulled Jin Roujia and instructed.

Jin Roujia agreed, pulled Peng Mo and retreated.

Seeing that the two of them were gone, the queen looked at Wei Yingran again and said, "Do you want to tell your sister about your family?"

Wei Yingran smiled lightly and said, "It's still my sister who understands me." ”

The queen sighed, her mother died early, her father did not remarry, this younger brother was brought up by herself, and the age difference between the two is large, the so-called eldest sister is like a mother, and the description is very suitable for the two, but the younger brother is twenty years old this year, and he has not yet married, but he is not in a hurry at all, so the queen has to be strong, and introduce the woman in Kyoto to him by herself, hoping that he can find a person who agrees with him, but he does not fulfill people's wishes.

"Why is this time? Is the girl in this house bad?"

"Sister, it's not that other girls are bad, it's my problem. Wei Yingran said with a look of loneliness on his face, and his voice also lowered. "I know my body, I don't know how much time I have to go, so why drag it down... ”

"Shut up!" the queen scolded. "Your body imperial doctor said it's okay, don't say anything dragging!"

Wei Yingran smiled bitterly. "Sister, don't deceive yourself, you know my physical condition better than me. ”

"You... The queen choked, looked at his pale face and didn't feel red, eased her attitude, and said: "Sister knows, you don't like the girl in this family, and my sister doesn't force you, don't say these words again, okay?"

Wei Yingran looked at her sister who was crying, and her heart was also sour, so she nodded and said nothing.

Hua Yu Palace

"Mother, you look for me. Jin Rui walked straight into the hall and saluted the concubine on the throne.

Concubine Shu saw Jin Rui's eyes light up, and patted the stool beside her happily. "Rui'er, come and sit. ”

Jin Rui smiled and walked over and sat down. "Is the concubine okay in the palace?" Some time ago, the trough of the Jin Palace's palace must have affected the grounded concubine, making her suffer a lot, and everyone looked thin.

Concubine Shu was very pleased to hear this, but the darkness before success was nothing, and she didn't want him to worry about it, so she smiled and said: "Okay, everything is fine, your father has lifted the ban on your mother, and those people don't dare to treat your mother slowly when they see your rise." "The concubines in the harem are not honored and favored, and the flowers are not red for a hundred days, and the real glory is tied to their sons.

Jin Rui knew that the mother concubine was hiding it, and he didn't break it, but his heart was sour, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, mother concubine, one day your son will want you to be the queen mother." ”

With my son's words, the mother concubine was relieved. Concubine Shu's eyes were red, and tears fell from her eyes.

Jin Rui nodded, his heart was heavy, this battle for the throne could not be retreated at all!

"Let's go. Concubine Shu wiped her tears and pulled Jin Rui up.

"Where is the concubine going, isn't it here to discuss the etiquette of the concubine?" Jin Rui stood up and said puzzled.

"Hmph, where is it worth bothering about a wild girl, the mother called you here to take you to the queen's palace to say goodbye. Concubine Shu looked disgusted when she talked about Yang Hua, and she hated to kill her immediately.

"Please?" Jin Rui was even more puzzled, why, has the relationship between the mother and the queen been so good?

"Peng Mo entered the palace today, and now he is in the queen's palace. Concubine Shu pulled Jin Rui and said earnestly.

The first two times Peng Mo entered the palace, it coincided with Concubine Shu being grounded, so she couldn't see her true face, this time I can't miss it again, and King Qu and King Ning are in Shuangxia Town, so this time is a good time for Rui'er to shine, if she can capture the heart of the beauty in one fell swoop, it would be great.

I see. "Thank you for your trouble. Jin Rui smiled and looked elegant, and his mind floated back to Peng Mo's stunning appearance in a red dress that day, and he couldn't help but be fascinated.

"You are my son, I don't worry about you, who else do I worry about?"

Jin Roujia and Peng Mo came to the small garden next to the Chengqian Palace and sat down in the pavilion.

"Uncle has something to say to the queen mother alone, I'm really curious. Jin Roujia held a freshly picked flower in her hand, pulled the petals, looked at the sky, and her tone was very distressed.

Peng Mo looked at Jin Roujia and smiled helplessly. "Why are you so curious?"

"Uncle has very few secrets, I... Jin Roujia was halfway through her speech when another voice interrupted her.

"What are you doing here?" The emperor walked towards the Chengqian Palace, and saw Jin Roujia and Peng Mo in the pavilion from a distance, and walked a few steps closer.

"Father. "The courtiers pay a visit to the emperor. Jin Roujia Peng Mo hurriedly got up and saluted.

The emperor's eyes turned on the two of them, and finally settled on Peng Mo's lowered eyebrows, his stiff face eased slightly, and he smiled: "Get up." ”

"My uncle and mother had something to say, and Peng Mo and I avoided it. Jin Roujia got up, smiled and grabbed the emperor's arm, answering the question he had just asked.

"The prince is here?" the emperor asked, his eyes flashed, and then he smiled: "Let their sisters and brothers have a good conversation, it's not bad for us to sit here." As he spoke, he lifted his robe and sat down on the stone bench in the gazebo.

Jin Roujia sat beside the emperor. "Why did my father come, shouldn't you be dealing with the twists and turns at this time?"

"You girl, you know the overseer all day long. The emperor nodded her forehead and scolded with a smile.

"Erchen is concerned about his father, look at what his father said!" Jin Roujia grinned.

The emperor looked at Peng Mo who was standing, and his tone was kind. "You can sit too, your foot injury is healed?"

Peng Mo sat down and bowed his head slightly: "Emperor Xie inquired, the courtier's foot injury has been much better. ”

"This morning, there was a report from Shuangxia Town that the plague had begun to spread, what do you think about this?" asked softly, his eyes roaming over her face, his gaze a little greedy.

When Jin Roujia heard about the disaster area, she hurriedly smiled and listened seriously.

Peng Mo shook his head slightly when he heard this, and said, "The courtiers don't know. ”

"Yes. The emperor nodded, it was a coincidence that she could dream of predicting the flood, and it was normal that she didn't know how to solve the plague now, after all, she was just a boudoir woman.

"However, according to the courtier's thoughts, the plague should not spread widely. Peng Mo looked at the emperor's thoughtful expression and said softly.

"Oh. The emperor was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then asked, "What is your basis?"

Peng Mo lowered his eyebrows and said: "The outbreak of the plague has always been accompanied by a large number of carrion corpses, these carrion corpses pollute the nearby water sources, and the victims will only be infected with infectious diseases such as plague when they drink unclean water, but this flood in Shuangxia Town, there are not many dead and injured people, which greatly reduces the pollution of nearby water sources, and the plague will naturally not spread!"

The emperor looked at Peng Mo's quiet face, listened to her analysis, his depressed mood was calmed down, and asked with a smile: "In your opinion, how should the plague in Shuangxia Town be solved now?"

The emperor asked for the second time, Peng Mo didn't understand why the emperor thought he would know the solution, and thought for a while and said truthfully: "The courtiers are dull and don't understand the medical theory, but according to the courtiers' humble opinion, let all the victims drink the decoction of epidemic prevention in advance, and the water in the entrance should be boiled before eating it should have a prevention and control effect." ”

The emperor nodded, what she said was the same as what the imperial doctor said, although she did not put forward any new opinions, but the emperor was still a little relieved in his heart, and asked with a smile. "You and your third brother have done a good job in Shuangxia Town, and when the matter is over, I will reward you for your meritorious deeds. ”

Peng Mo raised his head and glanced at the emperor. "Didn't the emperor promise his courtiers!"

The emperor knew that Peng Mo was talking about concealing the dream prophesy of the flood in Shuangxia Town for her, and looked at her nervous appearance and said with a smile: "How can I forget what I promised? ”

Peng Mo understood what the emperor meant, there are many reasons to reward, he will choose other suitable reasons to reward, at this time these words are just telling himself that he will reward himself and his third brother, but the real reason will not be made public, and a few people know it.

"The courtiers thanked the emperor for their favor, but this matter happened to be separated in many cases, and the emperor really didn't have to bother. Peng Mo lowered his eyebrows and thanked him humbly and respectfully.

The emperor smiled, didn't mention it anymore, and turned to ask Jin Roujia. "Didn't your queen mother shut you down?

It's okay not to mention the grounding, but when it comes to the grounding, Jin Roujia is a stomach of grievances, pursed her lips, took the emperor's hand, and said pitifully: "Father, the son saved people outside, and the queen mother shouldn't have grounded me, don't you say?" The wrong person is Zhao Shi, and he is the victim!

"You are fighting outside and forgetting the etiquette of the princess, shouldn't you be confined for such a serious matter?" the emperor asked with a tiger face.

"But Erchen has also done good deeds, isn't it? It was Zhao Shi who bullied people, and Erchen couldn't look past it before he came to the rescue, and his father didn't care about rewarding his merits, how could he still punish Erchen?" Jin Roujia had a bitter face, and the more she talked, the more aggrieved she became, as if she was about to shed tears.
