Flat-headed people, who cares about the royal secrets. Even if there is a change of emperor at the top, it has little to do with the common people.

The way of the world is like this, it is better to live in confusion than to be clear.

Qin Xiang also felt that there was a layer of dark clouds hanging over the capital, although she didn't understand politics, but history was not in vain. Seeing this unpredictable, I was secretly shocked in my heart, and I always felt that the old emperor was afraid that it was not good.

He has not yet made a crown prince, and the emperors are busy fighting for the throne, and they don't know what kind of trouble will arise.

In the capital, as Qin Xiang guessed. Under the surface of calm, there is already a dark tide.

Since the emperor sent people to beat those 'imperial relatives and relatives', the princes have finally stopped a lot.

But many people understand that those superficial plans can't be had, and they have all gone underground.

What a resounding title the Ninety-Five Zun is, and how many people have looked forward to that dragon chair for a lifetime. Who doesn't want to be on top and don't have to look up to people.

Now, the emperor is old and has never set up a crown prince, so it is a good time to do it.

What's more, they are doing things for personal gain, and there is no change in the palace, which can explain everything. The emperor's body has long been dead, and he can't separate other thoughts at all.

Imperial Palace, Fengyi Palace

When the queen woke up early in the morning, she felt that she heard the magpie chirping outside the window. Therefore, she has always been in a good mood, even if today is the routine audience day of the concubines, watching the little hooves below compete for the wind and be jealous, she is also at ease.

Throughout the ages, the royal family has been a succession. Moreover, her emperor is bold and intelligent, and he is a good candidate for the emperor.

She had already secretly gone to see the big eunuch beside the emperor, and after using some means, she naturally asked His Majesty about the recent deterioration of health, and he was powerless about the disputes outside. I also heard that His Majesty is preparing to be crowned prince.

As long as the edict is in hand, even if the crown prince is not the emperor's, she has a way to make him the emperor.

"Niangniang is full of spring breeze today, but what good things do you have to tell your sisters?"

As soon as the queen heard this voice, she knew that it was the annoying Jin Guifei. Although she is in her early thirties, she is still as delicate as a twenty-eight girl, and she is very loved by His Majesty.

The ancestors set the etiquette law, so that the emperor must come to the queen's dormitory on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. But at Jin Guifei's place, these rules are all counted.

Fortunately, she is not at the age of competing for favor, but she is too lazy to pay attention to this cheap billet.

"What's the spring breeze on her face, it's my sister who is wrong. It's just a rare good weather today, and I just feel it. But my sister has been staring at the palace, I'm afraid there's something wrong, right? ”

Jin Guifei touched a nail at the queen's place, and she was not afraid, but laughed a few times, "I just sighed that time flies, and my face is easy to age." In the blink of an eye, the concubine body has also become a half-old, and she has not seen her former demeanor. If it is to be drafted next year, I don't know how many good colors will come in this palace. ”

The queen's face sank, and she snorted coldly in her heart.

She was about the same age as His Majesty, only three years younger than him. If Jin Guifei is a half-aged, then what is she? Old woman?

However, the queen was in a good mood today, and she didn't want to deal with Jin Guifei, so she only glanced at her lightly, picked up the tea bowl and sipped.

Concubine Jin didn't expect the queen to ignore her provocation at all, and her face changed slightly.

After seeing the queen on this day, Jin Guifei returned to her bedroom, but she didn't fall and beat like before, but whispered to her henchmen, and then went to the mirror to make up.

How can this trivial thing in the harem attract the attention of others.

But in the imperial study, the emperor, who was rumored to be terminally ill, had a flat expression.

In front of him were a row of envelopes, each one already opened.

There were a few people kneeling down, their foreheads pressed against the floor, and cold sweat was pouring down.

The prince stood aside, and the corner of his eye secretly looked at the Son of Heaven behind the dragon case.

Your Majesty is not in a good mood today, and he must have received some news.

Ever since someone quietly made a move on Mrs. Qin, His Majesty has been unhappy.

According to the understanding of the prince, His Majesty definitely does not feel that these people have slapped him in the face. It was because Mrs. Qin had such ingenuity, which was of great benefit to the Western Yan Kingdom. This refining method has been tested several times, and the oil does have a lot of benefits for people.

It's still useful for this person to keep it, and besides, His Majesty personally named her the county lord. Now that His Majesty is still in power, there are people who can't wait to disrupt the chessboard arranged by His Majesty, how can he be happy in his heart?

What's more, His Majesty sent someone to quietly spread the news that he was seriously ill and dying, and those speculators who secretly shrank their hands and feet moved their minds again.

The queen of Fengyi Palace, as well as the golden concubine of Cuilian Palace, and several other maidens......

"Zhang Yan."

"The minister is here."

"I ask you, why didn't you report the incident at the border for a long time?"

Zhang Yan kowtowed, his face pale: "The general lost two cities in a row, and took the credit, and someone had already written an excerpt about this matter and quietly sent it to the capital." But the general covered the sky with one hand, and the border gate was like his word. The fold was destroyed in the middle of the road, and even the person who gave it was destroyed. Now the excerpts that His Majesty has read are also entrusted by someone's life, and they were delivered to the minister's mansion. ”

"You're explaining?" The emperor's face was dark, and his eyes were displeased: "Or quibble." ”

"The minister will never dare!" Zhang Yan said sternly: "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, the minister can only die to prove his innocence!" ”

As he spoke, he touched the pillar.

The prince hurriedly rushed over and stopped Zhang Yan.

"Master Zhang, I can't help it, I can't help it."

The emperor looked at the next two people and patted the dragon case, "Enough!" There's no need to do these little tricks in front of me. I only asked, the border is moving, chaos, why don't you report it. ”

Zhang Yanwei was stunned on the ground and smiled bitterly: "As early as a few years ago, the minister played several times and asked His Majesty to remove the general's official position. But ......"

The prince's eyes flashed slightly, and he lowered his head without waiting for anyone to look at him.

The emperor's face was slightly gloomy, "You mean the empress......"

"Wechen didn't dare to ......"

"Oh, don't you dare, I see you dare very much!"

Zhang Yan was reprimanded by the emperor, and finally kicked out in disgrace.

Looking at the tall palace of the Forbidden Palace, Zhang Yan let out a long sigh.

The harem cannot interfere in politics has long become a dead letter, look at the ministers of the court, how many are queens and concubines.

The emperor's harem is mostly from the families of the courtiers, which is the rule of the draft, and Zhang Yan does not dare to discuss it. But now these in-laws have affected the government, but His Majesty does not treat these as a major event at all.

If this goes on for a long time, the west will be in danger.

He is now old, and he doesn't know how many more years he will be able to stay in the court. The outside world said that His Majesty was seriously ill and would die soon. Zhang Yan looked at His Majesty's face today, but it was as usual. It's just that I don't know if this is a cover-up, or a suspicion.

Let's go, how dare he, an old minister, ignore His Majesty's resolution.

"Master Zhang, wait."

As soon as Zhang Yan was about to go outside the palace, he was stopped by a person. When he came back to his senses, he saw that it was the prince beside His Majesty.

His face was first happy, and then he asked with some concern: "Your Majesty has something to call Weichen?" ”

The prince walked a few steps quickly, and came to Zhang Yan to gently reassure: "Your Majesty has been a little angry recently, Lord Zhang should not be sad, Your Majesty did not mean to." It's just that the affairs of the previous dynasty were busy, and the relatives caused a lot of trouble. In the past few days at home, Lord Zhang still needs to recuperate, and the court cannot lack a good official like Lord Zhang. ”

When Zhang Yan left the palace, he was still confused, and he didn't understand the meaning of the prince's words today.

It wasn't until he washed his clothes at night and dropped a note from his robe that he understood what the prince meant.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Yan sat alone in the study, and it was not until the sky was white that he took a deep breath and called someone to change his clothes.

Regarding the turmoil in the capital, Qin Xiang didn't care.

The cosmetics shop she runs in Xijing has a good business, and orders are pouring in like snowflakes, making her want to give birth to three heads and six arms.

At this time, she found someone to decorate the restaurant.

The interior design is her own work, and she knows it at a glance.

Qin Xiang looked at the screen and bamboo curtain, and secretly felt funny.

In modern times, some restaurants will do Chinese decoration. There are not many things that are really good, but there are many nondescript things that make people laugh.

Qin Xiang borrowed from a restaurant she used to go to, and drafted the general decoration of Xiyan Restaurant, so she made the current plan.

Even the waiters in the restaurant were carefully selected by her, and she also customized the clothes.

The male waiters are all dressed in stone blue, and the waitresses are silver and vermilion improved collared long skirts. The style has a modern design, with a disc button at the collar and a cinched cuff.

Compared with those flowing wide robes with big sleeves, or armor and caftan brown, Qin Xiang especially likes these two overalls. Not only does it have a neat and easy feeling, but it also has the style of West Extension, which makes the restaurant unique.

Nowadays, there are not many shops that use women as partners, and most of them are rouge shops or cloth shops. Qin Xiang's choice can be regarded as unique.

In order to maintain the security of the restaurant, she also hired 'security personnel'. You can't just meet the overlord meal, a group of people look at each other, and there is nothing they can do.

"This is the new shop of the shopkeeper Qin?"

Qin Xiang heard a familiar voice, and when he looked back, it was Jin Porcelain.

She hurriedly arched her hand and said, "The golden shopkeeper is also here to shop?" ”

Jin Porcelain returned the salute and said with a smile: "I just happened to go out with my family." ”

Only then did Qin Xiang notice that there was a boy about eight or nine years old beside him, and a girl of five or six years old, who were somewhat similar in appearance to Jin Porcelain.

"It's ......"

"This is my second son and youngest daughter."

Qin Xiang was a little embarrassed, she didn't know that Jin Ci not only had a family, but also children.

The ancients generally got married relatively early, and there were many fathers in their teens. It's all because she looks at things with modern thinking, which is why she makes a joke.

Although she supports Qingmiao's pursuit of love, if she goes to be a stepmother, she is a little too reluctant.

And these two sons are already eight or nine years old, so isn't the eldest son more than ten years old?

Thinking about it like this, Qin Xiang regretted more and more why he wanted to bring Qingmiao to Xijing.

"I'm going to open a restaurant here, and I'll come and have a look after the renovation today."

Jin Ci was slightly surprised, and then said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Qin is really powerful. When I first met you, I felt that the shopkeeper Qin must have a great creation. I don't want to do it in just one year, and the shopkeeper Qin has successively created 'Xiang' and 'Eat Chicken'. ”

Qin Xiang thought to himself, if you knew that the vegetable oil that is hot now is also my skill, you will probably be even more surprised.
