"Say, did the Queen Mother say something to Luo Qing?"

The Empress Dowager sat upright on the top seat, her former kindness and kindness were gone, and her sharp eyes poked straight at Su Su's body, as if she had poked the Empress Dowager's body.

"Back to the Queen Mother, it was the girl who found that the dishes used at noon today and some of the dishes that the Queen Mother gave her were compatible, but the girl didn't say it, fortunately the slave and maid recognized it, and then the girl and the Queen Mother counted which dishes were mutually restrictive."

Su Su didn't intend to hide it, first she opened her mouth and said that the two dishes Luo Qing ate were a matter of restraint, and her honesty was not enough to arouse the suspicion of the Queen Mother, if she concealed it and accidentally exposed it at that time, it would lead to death.

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she sneered: "How many dishes? She's such a good means! What else was said? ”

Su Su really didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "Back to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother also told the girl about the past. ”

The Empress Dowager's pupils shrank suddenly, and she asked urgently, "The past?" What was the past? ”

Su Su replied in a smooth tone: "Back to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager said to the girl that the dishes she invited to the girl today were all the dishes that Concubine Chen loved to eat in the past, and said that you often let the imperial dining room make these dishes, but I didn't think that there were so many doorways in this dish......"

The Empress Dowager's hand on the small square table suddenly tightened, the handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a ball, her eyes full of vicissitudes were full of waves, and a killing intent was hidden in this surge, and then it returned to calm.

"You go down first."

"Yes."

Su Su lowered her eyebrows and looked at the Queen Mother from beginning to end, as if she was loyal to the Queen Mother, and had no intention of exploring more, she did whatever the Queen Mother asked her to do, and the Queen Mother didn't say it, so she didn't listen or look at it.

It's nothing more than that she has gained the trust of the always cautious Empress Dowager in just three years, and she has learned ten out of ten ways to survive in the deep palace.

After Su Su left, Mama Wang, who had been with the Empress Dowager for many years, opened her mouth.

"The Empress Dowager, Miss Ruqing looks gentle and obedient, but she is actually very clever, and she has also heard of the deeds of the old slave in Luofu, so I am afraid that I will be suspicious."

"But no, with Luo Qing's temperament of knowing advance and retreat, she would never specifically mention that she ate something from Xiangke and injured her body, so that it can be said to the ears of the Queen Mother, and ordinary people can please her? She's just testing the mourners. ”

The shock and ruthlessness in the eyes of the Empress Dowager were gone, and they were no different from the gentleness and generosity when dealing with people in the past.

"The mourning family has played a good mother in front of the thirteen for many years, at that time he was young and lost, the first emperor was sick and inevitably neglected him, the mourning family gave him a little warmth and followed the mourning family to believe in the mourning family, but Luo Qing, who was trained by the thirteen hands, is different, not only does she have brains, but she is not as urgent as the thirteen at that time to rely on, she suspects that the mourning family is also a matter of course."

When the Empress Dowager heard that Luo Qing was suspicious, she was indeed worried and shocked, but now that she has calmed down, she has a bottom in her heart.

Mama Wang said tentatively: "That...... Will she tell the prince? ”

The Empress Dowager shook her head: "The mourning family is now more and more unable to see the heart of the thirteen, but Luo Qing's little girl is still too tender, she is devoted to the thirteen, she knows the importance of the mourning family in the thirteen, and she will never tell him before there is no definite evidence." ”

As she spoke, she put her hand on the small square table and supported her forehead with one hand.

"The mourning family has a bit of a headache."

When Mama Wang heard this, she hurriedly stepped forward and rubbed her forehead for the Queen Mother.

"The Empress Dowager, then let Miss Ruqing go?"

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes, tilted her head, and relaxed as Mama Wang rubbed her forehead.

"Mama Wang, you have been with the mourning family for so many years, why are you still so breathless?"

Mama Wang said respectfully: "The queen mother's lesson is that the old slave has not thought enough. ”

The Empress Dowager didn't care about Mama Wang's accusation, and continued: "Let's take a look, but I can't ignore it." I heard that the daughter of the Shu family is a close friend of her? Isn't there a draft coming up in two days? Leave her in the palace. However, there are still two things to do. ”

She waved her hand, and Mama Wang understood and immediately stopped.

"The Empress Dowager is clever, Miss Ruqing is the most affectionate, she will not let the daughter of the Shu family go, but I don't know what the Empress Dowager has planned? I want the old slave to say that I don't want Miss Ruqing to meet the prince recently, but I'm afraid that Miss Ruqing is young and can't hold her breath, so that the prince can see the clues. ”

"You're right, this is the second preparation that the mourning family has to do. Thirteen is blind, but her heart is not blind, I am afraid that Luo Qing's girl will show her stuff in front of him, even if she doesn't say it, Thirteen will always have a way to know. ”

The Empress Dowager reached out and stroked her eyebrows, and then straightened the hem of her skirt.

"Thirteen is quite rewarding to go to Rongzhou this time, and the Queen Mother's slut plans to do it just because she heard the rumors, and she has to stabilize Thirteen for some time, and it is always good to keep Luo Qing by her side for a while longer."

After a pause, she said again: "The emperor has been angry with me because of the draft these days, and it's just right today, please invite the emperor to come up for dinner." ”

Mama Wang hesitated slightly: "Does the Empress Dowager plan to inform Your Majesty of this matter?" ”

The Empress Dowager stroked her sideburns: "The emperor has been restless recently, either this stubble or that stubble, and now that the thirteenth is back, it's time to mention him one or two, lest he have some thoughts that he shouldn't have!" ”

Mama Wang was slightly blessed: "Yes, the old slave will go and invite Your Majesty." ”

The three-year draft of the Great Apocalypse coincided with the country's internal and external troubles, and the emperor was bent on the affairs of the previous dynasty and was reluctant to draft, but the empress dowager said that she wanted him to draft, saying that the emperor would extend the heirs for the royal family and benefit the people, and it was also to summon Luo Qing into the palace openly, hold Yan Huai's handle, and not tear his face with Yan Huai, and maybe he could send a favor when the time came.

The emperor was still unwilling, but his arms couldn't twist his thighs, and several important ministers of the court were instructed by the empress dowager to admonish, and he had to let the Ministry of Rites draft according to the rules.

For this reason, the relationship between the emperor and the empress dowager became more and more stiff, and he had not come to Changle Palace to visit the empress dowager for a long time on the grounds that the court was busy.

This time, Mama Wang came to invite, and the emperor couldn't shirk it anymore, otherwise he would have tore his face with the queen mother before he tore his face with his little imperial uncle.

"Imperial grandmother." The emperor bent down slightly and saluted the empress dowager.

The Empress Dowager nodded the stool next to her and said, "Your Majesty, sit down." The mourning family is still thinking, is it that the mourning family does not invite the emperor to come up, and the emperor does not plan to come to see the mourning family again? ”

The emperor sat down on the stool and said with a smile: "Where is the imperial grandmother?" It's just that the government affairs of the DPRK and China have been busy recently, and the grandson has no time to separate, and now he is still tired of the imperial grandmother to invite him, which really shouldn't be. ”

The Empress Dowager was graceful and luxurious, and she did not dismantle the emperor's platform, but said: "I know that the emperor is busy with state affairs, and the mourning family is no longer going around in circles, so let's talk while eating." ”

The emperor intuitively felt that what the Empress Dowager said to him at this time would never be a good thing, but since he came, he also wanted to hear it.

"Imperial grandmother, please speak, grandson listen."

The Empress Dowager first put a chopstick dish into the emperor's bowl with chopsticks, and then said unhurriedly: "Today, the Empress Dowager invited Luo Qing to the Longevity Palace, does the emperor know?" ”

"Grandchild happened to meet Ruqing, and she seemed to be a little unwell." The emperor said truthfully.

"Where is she unwell, she knows a little too much, and she has a heart disease."

The Empress Dowager put a chopstick dish into her bowl with chopsticks, and then put the chopsticks down.

"Back then, Concubine Chen fascinated the emperor, how many ministers admonished? But the first emperor insisted on going his own way, and in desperation, they begged to come to the mourning family. ”

The Empress Dowager took a bite of the food in her bowl, chewed it carefully, and then continued to say what she had just said.

"The mourning family can't bear to see the emperor like this, the mourning family has to plan for the people of the world, for your father, and the emperor, and use some means, this is ......"

She didn't care about the emperor who suddenly changed color, and waved her hand to signal Mama Wang behind her to serve herself a bowl of soup.

"The emperor wouldn't think that Concubine Chen's death was really done by the eldest princess of Changning, right? This is just the desire of the people, and this is why the eldest princess's mansion assassinated Concubine Chen, and there were not a few people who were involved in this matter at that time, some were officials in the court, and some were disarmed and returned to the field. ”

The emperor is the emperor in the end, and quickly restrained his astonishment, watching the empress dowager holding a spoon and gently stirring the tonic soup that caused layers of waves, and asked: "What does the imperial grandmother mean by telling her grandson the truth about this matter now?" ”

The Empress Dowager picked up the spoon and took a sip of the soup and shook her head repeatedly: "This soup is not old enough, not strong enough, take it to the imperial dining room and let them remake it." ”

Mama Wang replied, and the Queen Mother pointed out: "This soup, just like people, is old and delicious, and the boiling time is short, so there is always less taste." ”

The emperor knew that this was the Empress Dowager reminding herself, and he couldn't help but be impatient, but his face was not obvious, and he didn't pick up chopsticks to eat the dishes that the Empress Dowager gave him, but just looked at the Empress Dowager with a smile.

"The mourning family is now honest with the emperor, it's nothing more than thinking that the emperor has grown up, some things should be known, this thirteen, after all, it is not a long-term plan to stay, one day he learns the truth, these individuals are afraid that their lives will be guaranteed, and then the emperor will have a headache."

"When the emperor first succeeded to the throne, these ministers were dedicated to assisting the emperor, who will the emperor help at that time?"

Helping the old minister, you are bound to fight to the death with Yan Huai, Yan Huai is not a good match!

Help Yanhuai, a group of old ministers will not give up, you and I may not be able to drown people with a word, and it will also hurt the hearts of many ministers.

"Your Majesty, the mourning family is your dearest person, and the mourning family will never harm you. Your father is a piece of flesh that fell from the mourning family, you, the mourning family looks at you like you look at your father, it's the same. ”

The emperor's hands on his knees gradually clenched, crumpling the corner of the shirt embroidered with the dragon's tail.

This is the Empress Dowager forcing herself to take a stand.

First of all, the Empress Dowager's mother's family was strong, and then seeing that the Empress Dowager's faction was weak, the Empress Dowager's mother's family rose again, causing his relatives to interfere in politics, he was like a puppet, and his ambitions could not be displayed for many years, and the revenge of killing his mother was even more ......

He didn't like the Queen Mother, and likewise, he hated the Queen Mother.

She always wants to control herself, let herself be her marionette, everything has to follow her wishes, from childhood to adulthood, there is only the little emperor's uncle......

That's it, he must be able to win the heart of the Empress Dowager today.

He picked up his chopsticks and ate the black fungus that the Empress Dowager had given him.

"The vegetables that the imperial grandmother gave to her grandson are really delicious."

The Empress Dowager understood it, and picked up the chopsticks and put a chopstick on the emperor.

"Your Majesty, that's right."
