Throughout the early dynasty, everyone was pregnant with ghosts. And Wang Ge Lao, who has always been more impassioned even if he repeats the same content, is rarely silent this time. He suddenly felt a sense of loneliness that he had never felt before, as if everyone had abandoned him and betrayed him, which made him feel like a man's back.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Wang Ge Lao walked in front, and Wang Shilang walked unhurriedly ten steps behind him. He was a little hesitant, should he go up and greet Wang Ge Lao?

Supposedly, he should have gone up, and from time to time on weekdays, he would say hello after the next court and take the carriage back together. But in today's court incident, he also saw that his upright old brother had a very bad face. If you go up to explain it so rashly, I'm afraid it will get darker and darker, so let's go back and talk about it.

And Wang Ge Lao, who was walking in front, had already seen Wang Shilang behind him, and he deliberately slowed down his pace a little, wanting to see if Wang Shilang would come up to explain today's events. Who knows, Wang Ge Lao's pace slowed down, and Wang Shilang also slowed down a little, but he didn't keep up.

This Wang Ge Lao muttered more and more in his heart, what the hell is going on? Could it be that the Changfang side has really sold him to the Queen Mother, and he has also gained a lot of benefits, isolating him?

Wang Ge couldn't wait for Wang Shilang, so he had to get into his own carriage and go back to the house silently.

This Wang Ge Lao sat in his study for a while, in the end, his heart was still unstable, people ignored him, he could take the initiative to question the long room, how could he suffer such a sullen loss like this?

He said that he would go, changed out of court clothes, put on a well-textured civilian clothes, stepped on ** boots, sat on a small sedan chair, and swaggered to the long room.

In fact, the long house is only separated from the three-room mansion by one street, and it doesn't take a stick of incense to walk, but Wang Ge always feels that he is going to ask for an explanation, not to beg others in a low voice, so he naturally has to put a little score and take a sedan chair.

When he arrived at the gate of the mansion of the long house, he saw three or four fathers-in-law dressed in ochre-colored clothes coming out of it. Are there eunuchs coming here? The elder of Wang Ge frowned, stopped a little eunuch and asked, "Dare to ask this little father-in-law, why are you here?" ”

The little eunuch was on the order of Sishun's father-in-law, and he couldn't wait to shout that the whole Chang'an City knew about it, and when he saw Wang Ge Lao asking, he bowed generously, "It was the Queen Mother who ordered the slave to give Mrs. Wang some gifts." ”

The Queen Mother has just promoted his daughter to the throne and made his son an official, which will give gifts to his wife, if Wang Shilang did not give the Queen Mother any benefits, he really doesn't believe it.

Wang Ge Lao snorted in his nose, cut his hands behind his back, and walked into the main room where Wang Shilang and his wife lived.

At this time, the hall of the main room was filled with the things that the Queen Mother had just delivered, and she hadn't had time to put them away. Wang Shilang and his wife stared at each other in the room, completely unaware of why the Queen Mother suddenly showed favor to the Wang family like this. The little eunuch who came to deliver things was also strange, put the things aside, and left without even taking the reward.

At this time, Wang Ge Lao walked in, and said angrily: "Since it is the reward of the Queen Mother, won't Wang Shilang open it to take a look?" ”

The couple raised their heads and hurriedly got up to greet them, "It turned out to be the third child, ah, please please, please sit down, what kind of wind blew you over!" ”

No matter what the Queen Mother sent, it may not be a good thing in the eyes of Wang Ge Lao, Wang Shilang deliberately wanted to divert the topic, but Wang Ge Lao did not appreciate it at all, and walked forward directly, reaching out to open a large brocade box on the table.

Wang Shilang wanted to reach out to stop him, but it was too late, so he had to look at his wife with an embarrassed face.

Looking at the brocade box again, the moment it was opened, not only Wang Ge Lao, but even Wang Shilang and his wife gasped: a one-foot-high jade jade Guanyin paid tribute by the Burmese state, and a pair of one hundred and eight Indian tribute Bodhi beads.

Next to the big brocade box, there are two small brocade boxes. Before Wang Shilang could speak, Wang Ge Lao had already opened the two brocade boxes quickly.

One box is a leaf plate carved from ivory as a tribute from Siam, and the other is benzoin as a tribute from Persia.

These four things are not only all worth a fortune, they can't be bought with money at all, but they also have a clear understanding of Mrs. Wang's temperament and hobbies. She believes in Buddhism, loves to touch leaf cards, and has some insomnia, how did the Queen Mother know?

Not to mention Wang Ge Lao now, even Wang Shilang looked at his wife suspiciously, when did she become so familiar with the Queen Mother and make her look like an old sister?

Wang Ge Lao had an old face, half because of his brother's betrayal, and the other half because of jealousy.

But Wang Shilang thought about it carefully, she has been married to her old wife for decades, and she should not be a person who will betray herself and the Wang family. So that's it......

I have to sigh, that Empress Dowager Guo is really cunning! To put it bluntly, it wasn't the third child who made trouble, and it was inconvenient for the Queen Mother to take action in person, so she put a big black pot on his back. No, now let's say it's the third child, who else in the entire court can believe that there is no collusion between him and the Empress Dowager Guo?

Even he himself is about to disbelieve it!

But he can't get rid of this black cauldron, so he can only carry it.

Helplessly, Wang Shilang awkwardly touched the sparse white beard on his chin, "The third child, I think, this matter is just settled, although the Guo family is now powerful, but there are not many heirs, Guo Shangshu's sons have not held important positions, and Guo Taifu does not even have a daughter, even if the Guo family is now the only one, what can it do, is there no successor?" ”

"Hmph, you've got a benefit!" Wang Ge Lao's beard moved, and he dropped a sentence angrily, got up and walked out. Originally, he wanted to come to this old brother to ask a few words, but now it seems that there is anything else to ask? It is clear that he has already stood on the same front with the Guo family!

Wang Shilang smiled bitterly behind his back, and had to order his wife to put away the queen mother's heavy gifts.

On the second day, Wang Ge Lao Tui was sick and did not come to the court, and he did not come on the third day.

Five days passed, and on the sixth day, Wang Ge came to the old man, but his face was not as red as before, he was much haggard, and he looked as if he was ten years old, very sad.

The most important thing is that this time in the morning, Wang Ge never mentioned the matter of the Guo family again, but kept his head down from beginning to end, stood in a proper manner, and didn't say a word, as if the whole person was retracted into the brick cracks.

Mrs. Guo glanced at him expressionlessly and did not speak.

Li Heng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Jiang is really still old and spicy, as soon as his mother made a move, sure enough, that Wang Ge Lao was defeated without saying a word!

Without Wang Ge Lao making trouble in the court, Li Heng felt that his life as an emperor was much better, and after dealing with a few important things, he went to Penglai Hall in a hurry.

As soon as he entered the Penglai Palace, Yuzhu saw him, saluted, and said, "Your Majesty has come to visit the Queen Mother again?" The queen mother looked at the excerpts in the dormitory at the back, and the slave and maid went to report. ”

Li Heng hurriedly stopped her, "No need, Aunt Yuzhu, don't disturb the Queen Mother, is Princess Taihe here?" ”

Now although there are a group of concubines in Li Heng Palace, their positions are not too high, and the highest is only the second rank Zhaoyi, and they are young, so the internal affairs of Daming Palace are now in the hands of Empress Dowager Guo, and Princess Taihe is in charge of the six palaces.

It's just to avoid suspicion, and now Luoluo lives in Taiji Palace most of the time, and only occasionally rests in Penglai Hall on weekdays, but greeting the Empress Dowager Guo in the morning and evening has always insisted on not being abandoned.

Yuzhu is not unaware of the entanglement between His Majesty and Princess Taihe, but as a slave, she should not interfere in the affairs between her masters. She smiled and said: "But unfortunately, Princess Taihe just happened to go to the Liushang Bureau, not here with us, why don't Your Majesty just sit in the main hall and wait for the princess?" ”

Li Heng said: "No, it's nothing, I'll go to the harem." ”

Coming out of Penglai Palace, Li Heng walked along the Taiye Pool for a while, but in the end he was still worried about Luoluo, and unconsciously went to the Liushang Bureau.

He wanted this throne because of her. He didn't want the first emperor to die, he just wanted his father to take the throne, but by mistake, he had to sit on the throne like this.

These days, busy with the national funeral of the first emperor, and busy dealing with the ministers, it is not easy to clear all the obstacles, and he can't help but think of Luoluo.

He is the emperor, the Ninety-Five, the most wanted thing in the world, he doesn't want to give up.

The Liushang Bureau was in front, and he wanted to open his throat and shout "The emperor has arrived", but Li Heng raised his hand to stop him.

He walked in, and when the palace people in the Liushang Bureau saw him, they were all startled, and hurriedly knelt down to salute. Li Heng didn't look at them, he walked in directly, and heard a falling voice inside, as if Du Qiu was talking to her.

He listened with a smile, only to hear it: "...... There were some such things earlier, and Ji Niangniang was a good talker. It's different now, Du Dianyi, you have to help me keep an eye on it, don't ask these newcomers to complain behind our backs that we are not right. ”

Li Heng only felt very pleasant when he heard her slightly hoarse and magnetic voice, which was like heaven.

Although he has several concubines now, which one can compare to her? is either willful and arrogant and plays the temper of the eldest lady all day long, or cowers and shrinks the family's temperament, where can she compare to her! She has followed her mother for many years, and she is already in charge of the inner palace, and there is no more suitable candidate to be the queen than her.

Li Heng clenched his hand into his fist and coughed lightly, and walked in, "Luoluo." ”

Du Qiu looked up and saw that it was him, and hurriedly pulled up his skirt and saluted, "The Shangfu Bureau has seen Your Majesty from the five-grade dress. ”

Luoluo also hurriedly lowered his head: "Taihe has seen Your Majesty." ”
