Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne for less than two years, and reduced taxes twice in succession, and with the help of the imperial court, the people planted corn, potatoes and other cold-tolerant and drought-tolerant crops on a large scale.

The people were grateful for the emperor's grace, the people held a grand celebration event, and the literati vied with each other to praise them, and under the solid defense of Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Wenlong, the Houjin army was defeated and retreated, and the Ming Dynasty gradually got out of the predicament of internal and external troubles when the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

At the same time, the three words Tian Guifei are highly respected in the previous dynasty and the people, these three words in the palace means that the honor is extremely favored, not only because of its assistant six palaces, and for the mother of Princess Kunxing, but more importantly, the emperor will go to Chengqian Palace every day to accompany Tian Guifei for dinner, when the emperor is busy, the concubine will also go to the Qianqing Palace to accompany him.

Since the princess's full moon banquet, Mrs. Tian has often been called into the palace to perform, and in the harem, Lu Nuoxin has become the only person who can often see her mother in the palace.

On this day, after the performance in the Chengqian Palace, the emperor left first due to the affairs of the court, Lu Nuoxin took his mother into the inner hall, and ordered Mama Jinyun to go to the treasury to pick up some objects rewarded by the emperor for Mrs. Tian to bring home.

After chatting with the parents for a while, she asked, "Mother, I don't know how my father is in the house?" "When I saw it at the full moon banquet, I didn't even say a word, so I retreated, I haven't seen it for a long time, maybe because of the blood relationship between this body and it, there is always some concern in my heart.

Mrs. Tian patted her hand and said: "You are now in charge of the Sixth Palace, and you have to serve the emperor, you are very tired, so you don't have to worry about the mansion anymore, your father is very good, but he has been very busy in recent days, he left the house very early, and came back very late." ”

Lu Nuoxin smiled disappreciatively: "What has Daddy been busy with lately?" "Now the affairs of the court are handled easily, and nothing major has happened.

Mrs. Tian lowered her eyebrows and said: "I don't know, and I don't want to ask too much, it's just that he comes back every night with a drunken smell, and he goes out early the next morning, and when he doesn't go out, most of the time someone in the house visits." "In this dynasty, women can't interfere with men's interactions outside, not to mention, Mrs. Tian is a traditional ancient woman, and she is also resigned to Master Tian and does not dare to interfere more.

But Master Tian is not a person who is nostalgic for the land of fireworks, Lu Nuoxin connected the things before and after thinking about it carefully, guessed a few points, and hurriedly ordered the palace people who were serving around to retreat, and after confirming that there was no one around, he frowned and said: "Does that mother know who the person who came to visit the mansion?" ”

Seeing that Lu Nuoxin was so cautious, Mrs. Tian couldn't help but feel a little nervous, thought about it carefully, and said, "I don't know who exactly, but a few have also seen it at the princess's full moon banquet." ”

Lu Nuoxin said with a blank expression: "Mother, dad won't be ......"

Now she is above 10,000 people under one person in the harem, and she is extremely favored, and at the full moon banquet, Lord Tian is also out of the limelight, although now Lord Tian is still the governor of the three products, but under the current situation, there are naturally not a few people who want to win over Lord Tian.

After Lu Nuoxin's point, Mrs. Tian woke up like a dream: "After you said this, it is somewhat consistent, what can I do?" ”

The emperor advocates thrift the most, and hates forming a party for personal gain, if this matter is believed to know, the consequences are unimaginable.

"Mother, leave this matter to me to deal with, you go back first, find an opportunity to mention Dad, and ask him to pay attention to proportion, although I am now favored by the sixth palace, but this also means that everyone is targeted, and now how many people in the harem want to put me to death. We have to be careful not to be caught. What's more, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, even if the emperor favors me again, he is also an emperor, and the most important thing is only the country. If something goes wrong with me, he won't forgive. ”

Mrs. Tian nodded solemnly, and hurried out of the palace, she looked at Mrs. Tian's hurried back, and called Mama Jinyun and said, "You send someone to secretly check what Master Tian is busy with now, who he is dealing with, and I want to know the time and place." ”

At this time, a palace maid announced: "Guifei Niangniang, just ask to see you." ”

She glanced at Mama Jinyun, Mama Jinyun kept her voice down, she returned to her seat and sat upright, and said, "Go and invite Fang Cairen to come in." ”

Fang Cairen was only followed by a personal palace maid, presumably avoiding people, Fang Cairen easily gained the trust of the queen by provoking her at the full moon banquet, and now she naturally has to be careful when she comes to Chengqian Palace.

Fang Cairen's face was still a little haggard, but he put a little more thought into dressing up, walked up to her in front of her, and finished the salute in a thoughtful manner, Fang said: "I just saw Mrs. Tian from a distance at the gate of Chengqian Palace, it is still early today, why did Mrs. leave so early?" ”

Lu Nuoxin didn't like such a set of words, but she had been in the palace for nearly two years, and she had long been used to these, she replied lightly: "Mother was ordered to enter the palace to perform, and after the performance, she naturally had to go back early, so as not to let other people in the harem chew the root of the tongue." Also avoid causing unnecessary trouble. ”

Fang Cairen smiled meaningfully and said, "The noble concubine knows the etiquette, no wonder the emperor likes the mother." ”

There were no outsiders, and she didn't plan to make a detour, so she said directly: "Fang Cairen is here to ...... this time" She deliberately spoke halfway, carefully looking at Fang Cairen's expression.

Fang Cairen raised his eyes to look at her, nodded and said, "Just as Niangniang thinks in her heart." ”

"Why does this palace believe you now?"

"Niangniang, the performance of the concubine at the princess's full moon banquet is enough to gain Niangniang's trust, right? And Niangniang is now favored by the harem, and has the right to cooperate with the harem, she is the only one who can compete with the queen, and the concubines naturally have to rely on Niangniang's support. ”

"Whatever you want, say it."

"The concubine naturally knows what the concubine wants, and now it only depends on whether the mother is willing or not"

"It seems that you are still suspicious of this palace, as long as you help this palace, this palace guarantees that the emperor will definitely go to Zhong Cui Palace."

Fang Cairen shook his head disappreciatively, and said: "No, Guifei Niangniang, the so-called teaching people to fish is better than teaching people to fish, and the concubine does not want the emperor to go up once or twice." ”

She sneered in her heart, she was really greedy, but when she decided to take revenge, she had already let herself look down on these, she played with her fingers, and said: "The emperor likes elegance, hates vulgarity, likes music, likes the elegance of the guqin the most, and the emperor likes sweets, and when the summer is hot, he loves lotus seed soup the most." That's all for this time, you can do one thing for the rest of the palace, and we'll talk about it later. For Fang Cairen, she doesn't have the slightest intention of sincere friendship, so naturally she has to be reserved and guarded.

Fang Cairen kept the emperor's preferences in mind one by one, and there was a little more expectation in his heart, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, and he bowed down and said: "As long as the concubine can do it, the concubine will do her best." ”
