On the way back to the palace, Huang Yi'an put the big morning osmanthus branch on the small table on the carriage and carefully picked it.

When Qi Yu saw it, she thought she was seeing things and thinking about people, and said softly with her eyes: "The carriage is dazzling, and it is not too late to take care of it carefully when you return to Kunning Palace." ”

Huang Yi'an's subordinates kept replying: "These are sorted and given to the two queen mothers, and it will be too late to take care of them when they return to Kunning Palace." ”

You must tell you when you go out, and you must face you when you return.

As soon as she returned to the palace, she had to go to the queen mother of the two palaces to ask for peace, she had to sort out these flowers and branches on the way!

Qi Yu was a little surprised when he heard this, but he felt that with Huang Yi'an's obedient and filial temperament of serving his elders, he wanted to send something to the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces to share, which was also reasonable, so he smiled very happily: "Then I will help you too!" ”

Huang Yi'an instinctively wanted to refuse, but thinking of what Qi Yu said earlier, he wanted to be an ordinary couple today, nodded again, raised his head and laughed crisply: "Then there is 'Master Lao'." ”

When Qi Yu heard this, he laughed heartily and said in a loud voice: "'Madam' doesn't have to be polite. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Huang Yi'an was afraid that Qi Yu would confuse the flower branches, so he explained to him: "I will sort out two bunches of these flower branches and send them to Ciqing and Cining Palaces respectively, and you can help sort out the bunches separately." ”

Qi Yu happily agreed.

I saw Huang Yi'an delicately picking out one branch after another from the big morning osmanthus branches, and divided them into two piles, one pile of flower branches was thin, and the flowers were also scattered and dotted, which looked very elegant and pleasant; The other pile is thick and leafy, stacked with green and gold, and it looks very rich.

Qi Yu thought about it, and guessed that the thin and elegant was going to be sent to Ciqing Palace, because Empress Dowager Chen has always been indifferent, and now she only worships the Buddha and reads the scriptures every day, and the palace affairs and government have never heard of it; And the pile of luxuriant and rich ones will be sent to Cining Palace, because Empress Dowager Li is in power, very rich, and her temperament is the most lively and prosperous.

As soon as Qi Yu asked, as expected, he couldn't help but praise Huang Yi'an, such as "filial piety", "intentions", "smart" and other praises, poured out one after another.

While causing Huang Yi'an to laugh in disgust, her cheeks flushed slightly with embarrassment.

Tian Yi and Amei, who were sitting outside the carriage, were all overjoyed when they heard the whispers of joy along the way.

When he returned to the palace and went to greet the queen mother of the two palaces, the morning osmanthus branch carefully prepared by Huang Yi'an on the carriage was unanimously praised by the queen mother of the two palaces.

Huang Yi'an didn't dare to monopolize this work, so he said with a smile: "Although these early osmanthus branches were carefully selected by the concubine from the big flower branches that the concubine specially cut from the mountain early in the morning, but the pruning and bunching were all done by His Majesty himself, and the concubine did not dare to invite credit alone. ”

When the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces heard this, the joy on her face became stronger, and she suddenly felt that the early osmanthus branches in front of her were more beautiful and lush, and they were particularly pleasing to the eye!

As for the three sisters of Princess Shouyang, they had already been instructed by Huang Yi'an, and they also prepared fresh gadgets to honor the queen mothers of the two palaces, and the two queen queens were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths together, and boasted that they "have a heart" and "are really sensible", and even imagined when the two of them would also go out of the palace together.

A trip, everyone is happy.

When he returned to Kunning Palace, Qi Yu had the intention to set up an image of Huang Yi'an as filial piety and sincerity in front of the palace people, and he had to praise Huang Yi'an again and again.

"Usually I and Shouyang Gong went out of the palace, why didn't I think of this!" Qi Yu sighed reproachfully, and rejoiced, "Thanks to the queen's reminder this time." ”

When they returned to the palace, they couldn't be as willful as before, and the ordinary couples of the so-called "master" and "lady" could only joke in private.

Both of them couldn't help but feel a little lost in their hearts.

……

In mid-July, Jang Gyu, who had finally arranged everything, set off for a long time and prepared to return to his hometown to bury his long-deceased father.

The officials who hated Jang Gyu and opposed the New Deal were once again ready to take this opportunity to drive Jang Gyu's forces out of the court.

However, as soon as he emerged, Zhang Gui held people down, took the court staff, seized the official, and exiled him...... The methods are extremely harsh and ruthless.

However, officials who saw this last chance refused to give up what might be the only chance to impeach Jang and his henchmen.

It's a pity that the concert has to be sent to the cabinet vote first, and when the cabinet vote is drafted and then sent to Qi Yu's case, Feng Yongting will also assist, because these people who oppose the letter, whether they are really for the sake of the country and the society, or take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and suppress dissidents, they have not been able to make much splash.

Qi Yu saw all this in his eyes and remained silent, restrained by the competition between the two sides.

The new policy is being implemented, and it is inseparable from Zhang Gui for a while, and Zhang Gui has already monopolized power and excluded dissidents, and after experiencing the turmoil of "seizing affection and seeing things", he is even more ruthless and extreme, and does not allow the slightest voice of opposition in the court, otherwise regardless of whether there is negligence or not, and whether the fault is large or small, he will be severely punished to set an example.

In this case, someone has to dare to oppose it, otherwise Lord Shoufu, who is already becoming more and more arrogant because of his power, will it be difficult to control it?

Some people vaguely guessed Qi Yu's thoughts, but more people thought that the emperor's pro-government was just an empty word, and the government was still firmly in the hands of Zhang Gui, so for Zhang Gui, whether the emperor was willing or unwilling, he could only obey.

I have to say that this is actually Qi Yu's real situation now - after experiencing the turmoil of "seizing affection and seeing things", Zhang Gui used the excuse that the courtiers were two-hearted and the court was unstable, and His Majesty was young and fledgling.

Qi Yu had nothing to do about it.

First, he needs Zhang Gui to use the power in his hands to forcefully implement the new policy to change the five major evils of Daqi; Second, he is indeed fledgling, and he does not dare and cannot face Zhang Gui head-on.

The once respected Emperor Yuanfu gradually became synonymous with imprisonment in the heart of the young Son of Heaven.

Seeing this situation, whether the officials were for the sake of public or private interests, the opposition was rising day by day, and it was approaching the political turmoil of "keeping the system" and "seizing the feelings" that had finally been quelled.

As the emperor, Qi Yu had to intervene, but in fact, no one was willing to listen to him, whether it was Zhang Gui, who was in power, or the officials who were bent on "rescuing" him.

It's just once or twice, and after a long time, Qi Yu can only be perfunctory.

Empress Dowager Li was as strong as ever for Zhang Gui, and when she saw that the forces opposing Zhang Gui seemed to be about to resurge, she simply went to the courtiers to cry, recalling the great achievements of the first assistant of the three dynasties, and lamenting that without the first assistant, there would be no mother and son, and there would be no great Qi today.

The courtiers refused to back down, and the Empress Dowager Li wept and lamented, and wanted to go to the temple to cry to the emperor, as if the courtiers were bullying their orphans and widows.

Such a farce has been repeated, coupled with Zhang Gui's monopoly of power in the court and deep roots, it is really difficult to shake, and the matter gradually subsided.

Zhang Gui saw that the court was fine, so he was relieved to leave.

On July 20, Jang Gyu set out from the capital and went to Gangneung to bury his late Yue Yu's father.

The Son of Heaven gave the Taishi a guard of honor and sent the Imperial Forest Army to escort him, and Zhang Gui took the sedan chair carried by 32 people who were the only one of the Great Qi, and traveled all the way south, with great momentum and great honor.
