Chapter 220: Shortbread

Jiang Caiwei's face was gloomy.

Before entering the palace, those people of the Jiang family killed her mother and her unborn brother, and forced themselves to enter the palace.

After entering the palace, those shameless people of the Jiang family pretended to be powerful and blessed by their status in the palace, knowing that they were concerned about Qingshan and treating Qingyu as their own sister, but they still wanted to spoil Qingyu, and Qingshan had a home that could not be returned.

This account, whatever Jiang Caiwei has to calculate!

——

Northern Swallow.

Palace.

The moon is dim, the stars are sparse, and the whole earth seems to be covered with a thin veil, adding a bit of mystery.

After a welcoming banquet passed, the noisy crowd finally faded, and Empress Dowager Cai affectionately took Gao Changle's hand and said, "Changle, the Great Wei Beiyan is far away, you rarely come here, be sure to stay for a little longer, let the mourning family do a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, and let our mother and daughter cultivate more feelings." ”

"The mourning family finally got such a well-behaved and sensible daughter as you."

"If the queen mother doesn't feel bored with her sons, her sons naturally want to stay longer." Gao Changle smiled brightly, but his tone was pitiful.

"It's just that the queen mother always stays in the palace, and it is inevitable that she is a little boring, and she can't ask her sons to escape from the palace of Kai Dawei with great difficulty, and then come to you again to abide by the rules."

"Erchen is used to not being able to stand these courtesies, and when he was at home before, he would always be criticized for being too indulgent."

"You, you."

Empress Dowager Cai shook her head helplessly, "Don't you know when you are a mourner, do you just want to go out of the city to have fun?" ”

"I know that the queen mother is distressed by Changle."

Gao Changle thanked him happily, and he didn't give Empress Dowager Cai a chance to refuse, "Thank you Queen Mother." ”

"It's rare for you to come here, the customs of Dawei and Beiyan are different, so the mourning family will order someone to take you around the city to protect your safety."

Empress Dowager Cai didn't say much.

Gao Changle coquettishly pulled the placket of Empress Dowager Cai's clothes, and looked at Empress Dowager Cai a little shyly, "Then the queen mother, can the sons and daughters make a slightly excessive request to you." ”

"Can the queen mother send Lord Cai to accompany Changle to go around Jinyang City?"

When Cai Mu's name was mentioned, Empress Dowager Cai was slightly stunned, "Does Changle think that the Nine Emperors are not good?" ”

Zhou Hao had been to Dawei before, and Gao Changle and Gao Changle were also acquaintances, if they wanted to play and accompany them, it should be more natural for Zhou Hao to accompany them.

But Gao Changle said that he wanted Cai Mu to accompany him, and Empress Dowager Cai was a little surprised.

However, without waiting for Gao Changle to answer, Empress Dowager Cai spoke again, "Well, since you like it, then the mourning family will order the two of them to accompany you together." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Gao Chang Lefu body, "The hour is not early, and the sons will not disturb the queen mother, and you will go to bed and rest." ”

"Erchen retreats first."

"Okay."

"Go ahead."

It wasn't until Gao Changle's figure completely disappeared in the Longevity Palace that the smile on Empress Dowager Cai's face gradually fell, lowering her eyebrows, as if she was a little tired and lonely.

The personal palace maid Qianbi stepped forward considerately, "Niangniang, since the eldest princess named Lord Cai to accompany her, why do you want to ask the Nine Emperors to follow you?" ”

Gao Changle's status is noble, and he is loved by the Emperor of Great Wei, when he heard that he came to Beiyan for this trip, he directly brought a holy decree, asking the officers and soldiers to protect each other along the way, and the state and county to listen to the order.

A person with such an important identity has become the current eldest princess of Beiyan Chuyang, looking at the appearance of the eldest princess, it is obvious that she is interested in them Lord Cai, if the two of them can form a good alliance between Qin and Jin, I am afraid that the Cai family will only become more powerful.

Even ......

Even that position is a little more above board.

However, just as Qianbi's voice fell, Empress Dowager Cai's face suddenly became a little fierce, "Qianbi, you are becoming more and more presumptuous now!" ”

Qianbi was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down, "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, the Queen Mother forgives her sins!" ”

"The slave maid lost her words for a while, and asked the queen mother to spare her life."

"Go out and kneel." Empress Dowager Cai's eyes were majestic, and her voice was cold and could not be resisted.

Abi fled in a hurry.

There was no one in the palace all of a sudden, and only the Empress Dowager Cai was left sitting alone in the hall, leaning on the window to rest with a tired face.

is obviously only thirty years old, but Cai Baochuan feels tired every day.

In the daytime, she is the queen mother above the court who holds the power of life and death in the world, but in private, she is just an ordinary person.

If you put a smile on your face every day, you will feel tired, annoyed, and extremely tired.

I don't know when, Zhou Hao was wearing this purple brocade robe, and his sword eyebrows frowned beside the Empress Dowager Cai, and he bowed to the Empress Dowager Cai.

I only heard that Empress Dowager Cai's voice trembled slightly, "Your Majesty ......"

Two red candles carved with dragon and phoenix patterns burned in the hall, and the yellow light was very similar to the two when the emperor married her, and gradually, the sight in front of him was also hazy.

The first emperor has passed away for many years, and the power of the DPRK and China has always been in her hands, even if the courtiers say that she is a traitor, and their relatives Cai family is dominant, Cai Baochuan still never thought of relinquishing power.

But no matter who during this period, if they dared to mention the Cai family in front of Cai Baochuan and replace them, they would be severely reprimanded.

Even Qianbi, who has been by Cai Baochuan's side for many years, began to be confused, and she didn't know what Cai Baochuan was thinking.

What exactly do you want to do.

"Queen Mother." Zhou Hao's eyes lowered, and he just said two words lightly, and asked the Empress Dowager Cai, who was leaning on the window, to slowly come back to her senses.

Cai Baochuan's face was faintly lost, but soon, it was only a moment before he was pressed down again.

The first emperor had many heirs, and the original crown prince was the son of Wei Guifei, but unfortunately he died early, and so far the other princes began the bloody road to seize the heir.

Cannibalism killed quite a few.

Innocent victims have died a lot.

disrespectful to Cai Baochuan, there are still a lot of people who have been solved by Cai Baochuan.

Only the prince who is in good condition is in a difficult situation, but only Zhou Hao, a prince from a humble background, has won the favor of Cai Baochuan and is highly respected in the palace.

Others only thought that Cai Baochuan wanted to appease the Zhou family, and weighed the contradictions in the relationship with the Cai family before treating Zhou Hao favorably.

In fact, only Zhou Hao knows that there are so many princes of the first emperor, but he is the most like the first emperor.

Cai Baochuan got up slowly, and the elder smiled with majesty on his face again, "Why are you here so late?" ”

"But is there anything important?"

Zhou Hao's thin lips pursed slightly, "When Weichen was on the envoy to Great Wei, he was fortunate to be treated well by the eldest princess, and he ate some food, and felt that the taste was unique, so when he came back, he also brought some back for the Queen Mother." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Hao directly placed the red lacquer food box he had carefully prepared on the rosewood carved makeup for Cai Baochuan.

"Wechen retired."

Zhou Hao came gently and walked quickly.

For a long time, Cai Baochuan looked at the red lacquer food box left by Zhou Hao with some hesitation, and slowly opened it.

Eye-catching......

It's a variety of sweets.

There are pine nut candy, osmanthus cake, crisp candy......

Although Great Wei and Northern Yan are far away, they can't help people with hearts.

When leaving Dawei, Zhou Hao ordered someone to line up in advance, bought all kinds of delicious sweets, and then ordered someone to escort the way with ice cubes.

It's a pity, it's a pity that the most distinctive sugar steamed cheese can only be eaten in person in Dawei, otherwise, if you take it all the way, it will be completely broken.

Cai Baochuan's hands trembled slightly, and his eyes were a little moist, as if he was trying his best to hide something......

Fleeting ......

Among the many sweets, Cai Baochuan chose a piece of crisp candy and put it in his mouth, and the sweetness between his lips and teeth spread instantly, as if it could make people's mood better.

Inexplicably, the corners of Cai Baochuan's lips raised slightly, which was the kind of smile that came from the heart.

It's not polite, it's not majestic, it's a real smile, and I think it's very happy.

A pair of ink-black eyes on the delicate face couldn't help but bend into a crescent moon, from the eyebrows to the corners of the lips, there was a smile.

At the moment, Qianbi is not by Cai Baochuan's side, otherwise he will definitely be surprised by Cai Baochuan's appearance.

It's been many years, and Cai Baochuan hasn't been as easy as he is now.

Honorifically called her the queen mother, but in fact, she is not very old, and the harem is a place where countless young women are buried with good youth and joy.

It also made Empress Dowager Cai become old and stable, and lost the youth and freedom that she should have at this age.

Cai Baochuan's fingers with cold armor gently brushed the red lacquer carved food box, and then carefully put it away and placed it in his most precious place.

——

Da Wei.

Qianyuan Palace.

It's already nightfall.

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce.

He Qing, as usual, came to Qianyuan Palace to change guards with Song Sheng when the time came.

"Father-in-law."

He Qing looked at Song Sheng, who was a little tired, bowed his hand respectfully, and lowered his head, but his eyes were a little disgusted.

Others only said that He Qing had a good life, and after entering the palace at a young age, he was taken by Song Sheng, the great eunuch who was close to Emperor Jiayuan, and was accepted as a righteous son, and he almost did not suffer any grievances and hardships along the way, so he sat in the second position of the Qianyuan Palace, which aroused the envy of many people.

But as long as He Qing himself knows.

This Song Sheng looks like a dog on the surface, but in fact he is also a disgusting person with a dragon yang habit!

No wonder so many concubines in the palace tried to send the palace maid to Song Sheng to pull Song Sheng in front of him, but they were all rejected by Song Sheng's righteous words!

These concubines in the palace only regarded Song Sheng as being so decisive because of their loyalty to Emperor Jiayuan, but in fact, they were ......

It's because Song Sheng hates women!

Song Sheng, who was originally tired, suddenly swept away the tiredness on his face when he saw He Qing coming, but when He Qing asked him to say goodbye, he put his hand on He Qing's wrist.

The tentacles were tender and smooth, which made Song Sheng interested.

"When you go to bed with the emperor and don't need anyone around you, just order the little eunuch next to you to guard outside the emperor's room, or come to me as usual, understand?"

Under the cold moonlight, the expression on Song Sheng's face at this time was a little weird, and looking at it made He Qing's scalp numb and his face pale.

It was precisely because the moonlight was too dark that Song Sheng couldn't see He Qing's face, otherwise, I was afraid that He Qing would be beaten again!

But He Qing's heart was resistant!

He knew what he was going to do and what he was going to experience when no one went to look for him!

He Qing stood in place for a long time, but he didn't speak.

Song Sheng's face suddenly sank in displeasure, and he secretly used force to hold He Qing's hand, and pinched the back of He Qing's hand fiercely, and suddenly turned purple.

"Why, now that you are more and more capable, even your father-in-law can't call you?"

"Yes......"

He Qing endured the pain, gasped, and nodded hesitantly.

"Humph!"

Song Sheng snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left.

But He Qing's slightly raised body was full of resentment as he watched Song Sheng's departing back, and soon, He Qing didn't stop, and walked directly towards the dormitory.

"Your Majesty."

At this time, Emperor Jiayuan had already freshened up and lay on the bed ready to go to bed.

Since Mrs. Jiang died, Emperor Jiayuan seems to have inexplicably resisted the matter of concubines and concubines, and he doesn't know whether he feels guilty or thinks otherwise, so he has never summoned concubines to sleep anymore, but is alone.

"Stand down."

Seeing He Qing coming to change guards, Emperor Jiayuan didn't raise his eyelids, and directly opened his mouth lightly, but this time, he ......

He Qing did not obey and retreated directly, but hesitated a little, and after the other palace people retreated from the dormitory one after another, He Qing knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Your Majesty."

Emperor Jiayuan was slightly stunned, looking at He Qing's reaction and frowning slightly, "What?" ”

"What's wrong?"

What else could happen in the palace that made He Qing so nervous.

Emperor Jiayuan couldn't think of it.

"Your Majesty, the slave has important things to explain to the emperor!"

"Please also ask the emperor to forgive the slave for the death penalty, otherwise the slave will not dare to say it!" He Qing's face was resolute, and he kowtowed heavily to Emperor Jiayuan.

"Tell me, what mistakes were made."

"As long as it's not too much, I won't bother with you."

I don't know if it was because of Jiang Caiwei's death, or because I missed Gao Changle, who traveled far away, which made the current Emperor Jiayuan look extremely lonely.

It's rare for someone to speak in front of him, but Emperor Jiayuan really can't see half of his anger.

"Your Majesty, someone wants to be unfavorable to you!"

He Qing knelt on the ground, moving his steps, and in a moment he had already arrived in front of Emperor Jiayuan, "Chief Song is the person of Bai Guifei!"

He Qing lowered his voice, but Emperor Jiayuan suddenly changed his face after hearing He Qing speak like this.

"What did you say?"

"The minions don't dare to joke with the emperor about this matter, when the eldest princess left, she specially instructed the minions to take good care of the emperor, and they must be attentive to the emperor, and they must not be moved******** and the talents are also careful to remember, but the emperor, don't you notice it?"
