The queen and Concubine Yao were naturally not stupid people, and they knew what the emperor was going to let them do under a few words from the emperor.

If this incident happened in the harem, then the queen and Concubine Yao would naturally rush to do it, and if there was such an opportunity to suppress other concubines, of course they would not let it be given to others.

But now this is happening to several princes and princesses. Among the few young ladies of the family, the situation is very different.

Don't talk about it, but as far as this matter is concerned, the prince and Huo Lingxiao are-for-tat, Huo Lingxiao is the emperor's favorite son, but the prince has the help of Princess Wen Ke, and the situation is mixed together, as long as she takes over this matter, it is impossible to achieve the best of both worlds and not offend either party.

The queen is not stupid, she is naturally not willing to do such a thankless thing.

"Your Majesty, the concubines really want to share your worries, but I've been caught in a bit of a cold recently, and I'm really a little powerless, I'm afraid that I'll mess up for you, so it's better to continue and let Sister Yao Guifei do it." The queen said this and coughed deliberately twice, as if she was really caught in the cold.

The emperor saw the queen's careful thoughts at a glance, frowned, and didn't say anything, just turned his gaze to Yao Guifei, "Then Yao Guifei, what do you think?" ”

What the queen is unwilling to do, Concubine Yao is naturally even more reluctant to do.

Concubine Yao pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty, the qualifications and seniority of the concubines are not as good as the queen's sister, and this matter involves several princes. Although the queen's sister is not in good health, it should not be a problem to deal with these things, and my sister has a good prescription for treating wind and cold, and she will let people take it to her sister when she goes back, and her sister's wind cold will be cured as soon as possible and share her worries for the emperor. ”

The emperor was already a little angry at this time, and when he saw the queen asking, there was a little anger in his voice, "Then the queen, tell me, when will your wind chill be better?" ”

The queen knew that the emperor was going to be angry, but this kind of thing had all kinds of disadvantages and no benefits for her, how could she accept it, so she still said boldly, "This concubine is not clear, Imperial Doctor Chen said that it will take about three or four days to get right, and the concubines are not suitable to see people during this time." ”

"What about you, Concubine Yao? You are also a queen, and if you don't want to do it, you won't do it? All right! One or two, there are benefits, scrambling to do it. I really want you to share my worries, so I'm here to shirk each other's responsibilities! As he spoke, the Emperor slammed his palm on the table with a dull thud.

The queen and Concubine Yao were both frightened by the movement made by the emperor's palm, and couldn't help but tremble, but they still didn't say a word.

On weekdays, they all speak so nicely, and when they really want to make it come in handy, they are all shrunken turtles. That's great! Queen, Concubine Yao, I don't want to see you again in these two months! After the emperor finished speaking, he got up and left, leaving only the queen and Yao Guifei standing on the ground and looking at each other.

Soon, the affairs of the academy and the emperor's anger spread to the queen mother.

"I didn't expect these things to reach the emperor, and so did the queen and Concubine Yao, one is more useless than the other, and they will only be jealous." After the Queen Mother learned the news, she shook her head and said.

Huo Zeshen was by the Queen Mother's side at this time, "What does the imperial grandmother think this matter will do?" ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Huo Zeshen, "Believe it or not, the emperor and the empress will not do this matter at all, and in the end, the emperor will still let me do it." ”

"What the imperial grandmother said, the grandson naturally has no reason not to believe it, but the grandson is curious about how the imperial grandmother is so sure. And if your father really asked you to do it, would you agree? Huo Zeshen looked at the Queen Mother and wondered.

If it was selfish, he hoped that the queen would have done it later.

The current situation is that his third brother and the crown prince are facing each other, but the prince has the help of Princess Wen Ke, but he has nothing to help his third brother.

If it was for the queen and Concubine Yao to do it, no matter what the situation was, it would definitely not be beneficial to his third brother.

Even if it is his father, he will consider the factors of the crown prince and Princess Wen Ke before making a decision, and his third brother is likely to be the one who suffers.

Only the Queen Mother is likely to help his third brother.

The Queen Mother naturally knew Huo Zeshen's thoughts, but she didn't answer Huo Zeshen directly, but said, "If you're curious, then go and have a look with me." ”

The Queen Mother said, calling the grandmother next to her to leave, Huo Zeshen saw this, and hurriedly followed behind the Queen Mother.

The emperor had just become angry with the empress and Concubine Yao, and was sulking in his palace at this time, when he heard the news of the queen mother's arrival, he hurriedly put away the annoyance on his face and put on a normal appearance.

"Queen Mother, why are you here?" The Emperor asked.

The Queen Mother didn't say anything after looking at the emperor, and directly found a place to sit down, "The mourning family heard that the emperor has been worrying about the prince's affairs recently, how is this matter?" Got eyebrows? ”

As soon as the emperor heard the Queen Mother mention this, he felt that his eyebrows twitched and hurt.

"This is not yet an eyebrow, and neither the queen nor Concubine Yao is willing to take over this matter. Queen Mother, what do you think of this? The emperor's words were not all, but the queen mother and Huo Zeshen both knew that the emperor wanted the queen mother to help him with this matter.

Huo Zeshen couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw this, the Queen Mother was really a god, and she even knew exactly what the emperor wanted to do.

The Queen Mother had long known that this would happen, and she had made up her mind to do this matter next, but she couldn't agree to the emperor so easily.

"Emperor, the mourning family is also old, I'm afraid the mourning family still can't work hard for these things......" The queen mother said and took the tea handed over by the eunuch next to her and took two sips.

The emperor also knew that the queen mother shirked, unlike the queen and Yao Guifei, they didn't dare to do it, and the queen mother just didn't want to do it.

"I heard that the Queen Mother's brother came to see you a few days ago, and Lord Lin has been a waiter in the Ministry of Rites for some years, and it is time to be promoted to Shangshu, and his family seems to have several sons, all of whom are young talents, and they can all be trained in the matter first." The emperor was offering a quid pro quo.

The Queen Mother naturally knew what the emperor meant, and nodded, but did not speak.

"By the way, a few days ago, a Tianshan Snow Lotus Empress Dowager came to the palace to pay tribute from the Western Regions, aren't you in bad health? It should also be used to replenish your body. The Emperor added his chips.

The Queen Mother smiled, "The emperor really has a heart, you have been working hard recently, and the mourning family will help you do this matter." ”

The emperor solved a big problem in his heart, and couldn't help laughing, "Then it will be more troublesome for the queen mother." ”

Both of them achieved their desired goals, exchanged a few words of casual greeting, and the Queen Mother left.

"See?" After the Queen Mother left, she asked Huo Zeshen, who had been following her, a seemingly meaningless question.

Huo Zeshen smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Imperial Grandmother." ”

The Queen Mother didn't look at him, "Don't thank the mourning family, the mourning family has a bowl of water, and you have to take care of it yourself on your third brother's side." ”

Now the incident in the academy has become more and more widespread, and it has reached the point where it has to be managed, after the queen mother came out of the emperor's palace, she directly summoned the prince and others to her palace.

"The mourning family has also heard about your affairs. The mourning family has always been a bowl of water, and you also know that you are all at fault in this matter, and it is impossible for the mourning family to punish only a few people, and you should not be dissatisfied. The Queen Mother said in a deep voice to Her Royal Highness.

"However, the first thing I want to punish is to punish the prince. Child, you are not too young, it is time to learn to be steady. When you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you should also understand that you are the one who presides over justice, not the one who comes out at will, so I will punish you for thinking about it for a month, and I hope you can figure out what the mourning family said to you today. ”

The Queen Mother's punishment of the crown prince was actually not heavy, and she only wanted to give the prince a warning, and she didn't want to really annoy them.

The prince naturally has no complaints about this.

"I want to punish the second, and the punishment is Wen Ke. Wen Ke is really spoiled, in the academy, he is still so arrogant, from today on, you will copy the female virtue to me twice a day, and you are not allowed to go anywhere except the academy within three months! When she arrived at Wen Ke, the Queen Mother was obviously stern.

Wen Ke wanted to defend herself to the Queen Mother, but she was secretly pulled down by the crown prince, and she had to temporarily suppress her anger and wait to hear the Queen Mother's punishment of Wei Xiyue.

"Wei Feiyue and Lin Shanshan will copy the female virtues every day for three months, and the rest will be thought about for half a month."

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, Wen Ke became annoyed.

"Why is my punishment the heaviest! It's obvious that Wei Xiyue doesn't abide by women's morals and fornicates with men in the academy, I just can't get used to seeing a slut lying in the academy without shame, why am I wrong? ”

When the Queen Mother heard Ke say this, she couldn't help but close her eyes fiercely, and then slowly opened them, "You still dare to say it?" It's obvious whether people are framed or not, you still take the initiative to stir up trouble, and now you dare to question the mourning family, do you still have a little bit of a princess? You're not convinced, aren't you? Okay, you don't have to think about it in the house, you can kneel in the ancestral hall for me tomorrow! ”

Wen Ke became more and more unconvinced, but she knew that she would not end well if she continued to fight against the Queen Mother, and the prince stopped her again, so she had to accept the result indignantly.

"Okay, you all go, Ling Xiao and Wei Xiyue will stay for me." The Queen Mother said.

Wen Ke didn't know. Why did the Queen Mother leave the two of them alone, but she felt that the Queen Mother was favoring Huo Lingxiao and Wei Xiyue, and she was even more unhappy, and she was about to go to her palace with her breath, and even the prince ignored her.

"Don't pull me, you are all smart people, just me, I am stunned, I only know how to rush to the front to be criticized by that old woman!" Wen Ke shook off the prince's hand pulling her sleeve.
