Empress Dowager Li was stupidly blocked back by Huang Yi'an yesterday, but she didn't continue to embarrass her today, and still treated her lovingly and kindly, without the slightest hint of her intentions when she threatened Huang Yi'an yesterday.

Huang Yi'an also obediently did not mention yesterday's events.

Qi Yu took the opportunity of Empress Dowager Li to praise him for his radiant appearance today, and said with a smile: "This is all thanks to the queen's exquisite cooking skills and proper and thoroughness, Jing unknowingly raised the child a lot of weight, and his body is healthier than before." ”

Huang Yi'an smiled shyly and obediently as usual, and said respectfully: "This is what a concubine should do, and serving Your Majesty wholeheartedly is where the position of a concubine lies." ”

Empress Dowager Li had a smile on her face, but her eyes swirled between Qi Yu and Huang Yi'an, wondering if Huang Yi'an complained to Qi Yu after returning yesterday, so Qi Yu would take the opportunity to say such a thing.

"Queen Mother, do you think that if the child is fatter, will he lose the emperor's prestige?" Qi Yu touched his cheek and asked worriedly, his words were as trust and closeness as ever to Empress Dowager Li.

The doubts in Empress Dowager Li's heart were dissipated a lot because of Qi Yu's closeness, and she said with a smile: "Your Majesty has become more and more handsome recently, don't worry." ”

Before the wedding, Qi Yu was too heavy in schoolwork and didn't like the imperial diet of the Shang Diet Supervisor, so the whole person was on the thin side. For a while, Empress Dowager Li saw his increasingly thin appearance, and she was so worried that she specially asked the imperial doctor to prescribe a long list of dinners, for fear that Qi Yu would die young like the first emperor.

Now look, Qi Yu is getting stronger and stronger under Huang Yi'an's dietary conditioning.

Of course, there is also part of the reason why Qi Yu insisted on asking martial artists to teach and train himself since he was chosen.

"Then the boy will be relieved!" Qi Yu smiled reassuringly.

Empress Dowager Li also smiled, but the laughter did not reach the bottom of her eyes, and she changed her words and admonished: "Although Your Majesty's dragon body has become more and more healthy and handsome recently, you must not be slack off because of this, and indulge yourself to stay up late to study and manage politics, otherwise even if the queen is the ancestor of the family, she will not be able to recuperate." ”

Qi Yu knew that Empress Dowager Li was asking him about discussing politics with Zhang Wei in the imperial study all night last night, and he didn't hide it - he couldn't hide it anyway, so he said frankly: "The child didn't notice Zhang Wei before, mainly because Yuan Fu was extremely capable, and everyone in the cabinet looked like they were eating idle meals.

"Yesterday, Zhang Weibing played about the application for the allocation of food and salary in various health centers, and the child happened to talk to him about the false reporting of the number of people and the matter of Tuntian, and he didn't know how to solve it, who knew that Zhang Aiqing talked about this matter in detail, very insightful, and the child talked with him all night on a whim!"

How could Empress Dowager Li, whose eyes and ears were all over the harem and had always been strict with him, not know about his long conversation with Zhang Wei all night, so he didn't intend to hide it in vain from the beginning.

As for whether Zhang Wei will be suspected or even abandoned by Zhang Gui because of this, it is not his concern.

First, for the sake of his own future and glory, the person who can easily sell his mentor who has supported and promoted him all the way is not worthy of his trust and entrustment; Second, if Zhang Weiruo was abandoned by Zhang Gui, it is not a bad thing for him - cutting off Zhang Gui's arm is only one of them, and the most important thing is that Zhang Gui wants to retrain a successor, which is not so easy - Zhang Gui has no successor, so he can successfully achieve pro-government in the true sense.

For Qi Yu's honesty, Empress Dowager Li was a little surprised, but more relieved.

In fact, she didn't care whether Qi Yu knew about the new policy in the army early or late, as long as Qi Yu agreed with this matter and supported Zhang Gui to implement reforms in the army.

"Since Zhang Wei has to use it, then His Majesty should entrust him with an important task and let him assist Yuan Fu in handling the implementation of the new policy in the army." Empress Dowager Li smiled and said, "At the end of September and the beginning of October, Yuanfu should almost arrive in the capital, and your monarchs and ministers have agreed on it, and it is cheaper to reform military affairs while the winter salary is issued." ”

"That's what the Queen Mother said." Qi Yu replied with a smile, "The child is also looking forward to Yuanfu's return to Beijing as soon as possible, so as to get rid of the malaise of the military and strengthen my military might!" ”

It was not he who opposed the New Deal, but Jang Gyu avoided him and presided over the New Deal alone.

Regardless of the opposition of the ministers, he supported Zhang Gui's innovation, in order to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and the country and the people were safe, so he couldn't just be a puppet responsible for copying the cabinet votes on the recital, right? This country is his, and it must be controlled in his hands!

The mother and son reached a consensus, and naturally there was no longer yesterday's tension, and for a while, the mother and son were filial piety and harmony.

Huang Yi'an, who was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma, was relieved when he saw this.

One is the benefactor who saved her from danger in her previous life, and the other is an ally with whom she will spend this life hand in hand, no matter which one is abandoned, it is not an easy thing to decide.

With the approval of Empress Dowager Li, Qi Yu's correspondence with Zhang Wei became more frequent and public.

Unlike Empress Dowager Li's trust in the two, Huang Yian always felt that there was some secret behind this.

But what is the secret, she can't ask Qi Yu openly, she can only pay attention to Qi Yu's words and deeds, knocking on the side, hoping to figure out the truth of the matter.

However, this time Qi Yu hid it very well, although she had the experience of her previous life as a supplement, she couldn't find out for a while.

Huang Yi'an felt more and more that things were not simple.

An emperor who is dissatisfied with Zhang Gyu's autocratic power, and a meticulous work who lurks by Zhang Gyu's side and only waits to avenge the old master, will they get together and concentrate on the smooth implementation of the new military policy proposed by Zhang Gyu?

Huang Yi'an was skeptical.

But soon, when something reached the capital, she didn't have the heart and energy to pay attention to these things anymore.

After the Double Ninth Festival, Zhang Xi entered the palace to bring news of cotton planting in the northwest.

"Brother Lan said that this year's cotton harvest is bumper, not only the cotton seeds for the coming year are sufficient, but also the cotton produced has basically returned to its original cost." Zhang Xi said with a smile, "I told Li Zizhen that I will send someone to the northwest to plant long-staple cotton next year, and then you don't say that I will rob your business!" ”

Huang Yi'an glanced at her and said with a smile: "I can't wait for more and more people to go to the northwest to plant long-staple cotton!" ”

Zhang Xi was surprised: "Aren't you afraid that there will be more people going, long-staple cotton is unsalable due to abundance, the price is low, and you can't make money?" ”

Huang Yi'an smiled: "I don't just grow cotton to make money. Moreover, those who can go to the northwest to rent land and rent people to plant long-staple cotton must not be bad for money in their hands, and if the price of cotton is high, they will make more money, and if the price is low, they will make less money, and they will not hurt the fundamentals. Take this surplus money to plant the cold materials urgently needed by the border army and the people, no matter how you count it, it will be earned! ”

Zhang Xi joked: "The queen mother really has the world in mind, and she is dedicated to sharing worries for His Majesty and seeking well-being for the people!" ”

Huang Yi'an made a gesture to scratch her, and not to be outdone, he shot back: "Isn't Mrs. Li worried about her mother's family and her husband's family, so she wants to grow cotton to fund the border army?" ”

The two of them laughed and laughed.
