"Have anyone from the Yao family entered the palace?" The emperor asked, although he had already beaten Yao Weiji, the emperor was still not at ease.

Gui Zhi, the chamberlain, hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, rest assured, none of the Yao family have entered the palace. ”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "Without the instigation of the Yao family in front of the queen mother, the queen mother would not have made trouble for me." ”

"The prince is also doing things safely, which is very similar to Aguan." When the emperor mentioned Chu Zheng, he couldn't help but think of Empress Xie Lingguan of Yuanjing, "When Aguan was still there, he kept the harem in good order, so that I didn't have any worries, which is like ...... now."

The emperor slapped his thigh heavily, gritted his teeth and said: "I shouldn't have compromised with the Queen Mother in the first place, and I made Yao Fengyu the queen, as far as her virtue and appearance were concerned, there was no place that could match the queen's phoenix crown." ”

"I set her up as the queen, for the sake of the queen mother, she didn't know how to be grateful to Dade, and she did her part with peace of mind, but she intensified her efforts, and all she thought about all day was how to support her mother's family. Using the power of the queen to support her mother's family, does she really think I am a fool? ”

Gui Zhi hunched his waist on the side, listening to the emperor's chatter, not answering or interjecting, he knew that at this time, the emperor just wanted someone to listen to him, and he didn't necessarily need to echo it, and more importantly, no matter how unfavored Empress Yao was, it was also the queen, and with Empress Dowager Yao as the backing, her gossip was not something that he could say casually as a eunuch.

The emperor has been dissatisfied with Empress Yao for a long time, and his mouth is dry, but he still feels unfinished, he took a sip of tea, moistened his lips that were already a little dry, glanced at Gui Zhi who was standing on the side, and said slowly: "Gui Zhi, you don't say a word, do you also think what I said is wrong?" ”

Gui Zhi hurriedly knelt down and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are making fun of your slaves." A slave is a lowly eunuch, where can he dare to say that the master is not. ”

"Then if I tell you to, do you say it?" Obviously, Gui Zhi's answer did not make the emperor feel very satisfied.

Gui Zhi has served the emperor for many years, how to answer the emperor's words, he is already handy, he bowed his waist and smiled, and said: "The slave is His Majesty's person, what His Majesty asks the slave to do, the slave will do it even if he loses his head." ”

Naturally, the emperor would not really want him to speak ill of Empress Yao, no matter how bad Empress Yao is, she is also the queen, and the only one who can say that she is bad is the emperor.

If it was the usual situation, Gui Zhi said such a thing, and the emperor could be regarded as a satisfactory answer, and the topic would have passed, but this is not the case today. The emperor was silent for a moment, his eyes were slightly deep, and then he said faintly: "The Yao family is unbearable, if I abolish her, who should I appoint as the ......?"

Immediately?

On such a topic, Gui Zhi didn't dare to interject, he lowered his head and tried to reduce his sense of existence. I secretly prayed in my heart that Your Majesty would never test him with such words.

However, what did he want, and the next moment, the emperor named him, "Gui Zhi, tell me, the concubines of the harem, who is the most suitable to be the queen." ”

Gui Zhi made a bitter face, "Your Majesty, the slave is just a eunuch, and he will not do anything else except serve Your Majesty." Such a profound question, a minion, a minion really can't answer it. ”

"Can't answer?" The Emperor chuckled, "I don't think you dare to answer. ”

Gui Zhi licked his face and said with a smile: "The little bit of caution of the slave has all been seen by Your Majesty. The slave is timid, so your Majesty, you will spare the minion. ”

The emperor squinted at him slightly, and said with disgust: "You are timid? Even my words dare to fool the past, and say that you are cowardly, you are clearly a human spirit. ”

"The slave's careful thoughts, where can I hide it from Your Majesty." Gui Zhi replied with a smile, "The slave has been in the palace for a long time, so it is naturally polished and smoother. ”

The emperor agreed, "What you said is true, if you don't know how to be flexible at all, you won't be able to sit in the position of the head of the inner house." ”

Gui Zhi hurriedly nodded to the side, "Your Majesty is wise." ”

"The eunuch still knows how to be flexible, Yao has been the queen for so many years, but he is still as stupid as a pig. What did the Yao family think at the beginning, how could they send such a fool into the palace. The Emperor's tone was full of mockery, "But stupidity has the advantage of being stupid, and if she wasn't stupid, I really wouldn't have agreed to make her queen." ”

The Yao family, including the Empress Dowager Yao, thought that the Empress Dowager Yao was determined to make Yao Fengyu the queen, and the emperor was forced by the pressure of the Empress Dowager Yao's mother-in-law, so he had no choice but to canonize the Yao family as the queen. What everyone didn't know was that the establishment of the Yao family was not entirely due to the emperor's helplessness, in fact, it was a decision made by the emperor after careful consideration.

On the one hand, Yao Fengyu is not smart, and can even be said to be stupid and dull as a pig, so the emperor is not worried about how much splash she will make in the future. Moreover, Queen Yao is so stupid, her first reaction when she encounters time is to ask Empress Dowager Yao for help, even if Empress Dowager Yao favors this niece, she can't stand the worries day and night, and sooner or later she will get tired of her.

This is also the reason why the emperor did not allow the Yao family to enter the palace, but did not prevent Empress Yao from going to Ci'an Palace, he just wanted to watch Empress Yao be disgusted by Empress Dowager Yao little by little, and finally Empress Dowager Yao couldn't stand it and gave up Empress Yao.

"The queen mother is really patient with Yao Fengyu, and she hasn't given up on her for more than ten years." The emperor's tone was mixed with a hint of schadenfreude, if it doesn't work today, tomorrow, he can wait, one day, Empress Yao will be abandoned.

"Let's go, drive the Yongyang Palace, and I will go to the Guifei Palace to sit down."

The emperor was in a good mood, as soon as he entered the Yongyang Palace, Concubine Lin Guifei found out about this, she walked forward quickly, Ying Ying bowed, "Concubine please Your Majesty." ”

"Ai Concubine quickly calm down, I have already said that in your dormitory, you don't need such a lot of courtesy, you just don't listen." There was no blame in the emperor's tone, but a faint doting.

Lin Guifei smiled, "Your Majesty does not allow your concubines to salute, that is Your Majesty's grace, but if your concubines break the rules, then it is still wrong for your concubines, Your Majesty, tell me, isn't this embarrassing for your concubines?" ”

The emperor smiled and said, "Listening to the meaning of the concubine, is it weird?" ”

Concubine Lin glanced at the emperor, but the smile on her face did not change, it was still as warm as spring water, "The concubine is to blame Your Majesty, how do you plan to punish the concubine?" ”

Of course, the emperor couldn't punish her, not to mention that he was in a good mood today, even on weekdays, he wouldn't blame Concubine Lin for this. Lin Guifei was gentle and petty, and from time to time when he was in a good mood, she deliberately made a little petty, in the emperor's opinion, this is all fun.

Hearing this, the emperor hugged Concubine Lin in his arms and nodded the corner of her lips with a smile, "You, you, this little mouth is really eloquent." ”

Concubine Lin snuggled in the emperor's arms, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has wronged the concubine again, where can the concubine be able to speak the truth?" If the concubine was really sharp-toothed, she wouldn't have given birth to Yu'er's stupid child. ”

Thinking of the sixth son Chu Yu, the emperor said thoughtfully: "Yu'er is not stupid, he is simple and kind, which is the same as his concubine." Yu'er is a good boy, and I like it very much. Speaking of which, I have several sons, but there are more eyes than one, only Yu'er, simple and sensible, different from others. ”

"Your Majesty, don't say that, if this word spreads, Yu'er will be jealous." Lin Guifei hurriedly took over.

The emperor's face suddenly sank slightly, "Who dares to be jealous of Yu'er!" I can say whatever I want, who dares to gossip in the back! ”

Lin Guifei hurriedly stroked the back of the emperor's hand, comforted and said: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, anger is easy to hurt your body, if your dragon body is uncomfortable, then the concubine will be guilty of ten thousand deaths." In fact, the concubine just said it casually, don't take it to heart. ”

Seeing the emperor's angry face, Concubine Lin was about to cry, and there was a faint flash of water in her beautiful eyes.

Under the appeasement of Lin Guifei, the emperor gradually calmed down his anger, and then took Lin Guifei's hand and said with a straight face: "Aifei, I know that you have a weak temperament, and I am afraid of being hated." But don't worry, with me, the queen and the five princes dare not hurt you and Yu'er. As for the crown prince......"

The emperor paused, "Although Zheng'er has a cold temperament, he has always been measured in his work, and he knows best what to do and what not to do. ”

Concubine Lin was stunned for a moment, and then regained her gentle smile, "With Your Majesty here, the concubine is not worried." ”
