"In this way, although Your Majesty did not continue to pursue it, a gap has arisen in his heart?" In the afternoon of midsummer, the blazing sun shines on the lotus pond, a piece of golden scales are shining, back to the window, although there is ice in the house, it also feels a little stuffy, Mu Bi's slightly long hair is casually taken a gilt bead and shakes the loose silk, a few strands fall on the cheek at will, wearing a lake green ice silk shirt, tied a moon white Luo skirt, holding a silk fan embroidered with butterflies and flowers on the waist, and asked in a casual tone with a chin.

The person sitting next was Nie Yuansheng, he picked up the icy sour plum soup at hand and took a sip, Fang smiled lightly and said: "The gap was born a long time ago, at that time Emperor Gaozu died, His Majesty was sad, when he was sent back to the Empress Dowager Gao to raise, because he was bumped by the King of Guangling on the corridor, there was a dispute between the two sides, His Majesty was personally raised by Emperor Gaozu since he was a child, not to mention the grandson of Gaozu, even some of the princes who were not valued at the time of Gaozu did not go against His Majesty's will, and did not want to be known by the Empress Dowager Gao, But it is to maintain the King of Guangling - in fact, the Empress Dowager Gao is not unfond of His Majesty, but she is from a prestigious family, and she values the order of the young and the old, and the other is that His Majesty was not raised by her side, and suddenly sent it back, although she was happy but also strange, in comparison, the King of Guangling is more like her young son. ”

Mu Bi snorted slightly: "That was a few years ago, and it is common for people to be reprimanded by their parents as a child, but Your Majesty has had a rift with the Empress Dowager Gao since then, saying that you didn't interfere in it, I don't believe it." ”

"This is natural." Nie Yuansheng also did not shy away from saying, "If I want to gain wealth and authority, I must become the most trusted and relied on person of His Majesty!" The Queen Mother is Your Majesty's mother, and she has a great advantage in nature, although she is not good at court affairs, but the Gao family behind her is more powerful and powerful figures who can grasp the court certificate for her, if Your Majesty and the Queen Mother Gao have a strong relationship with the mother and son, what else do I mix? ”

"The arrangement of the first emperor before his death......" Hearing what he said, Mu Biwei's heart moved slightly, and he said tentatively.

Nie Yuansheng smiled slyly: "You also know that the first emperor ascended the throne and fought with King Jiqu first, although Emperor Gaozu finally chose the first emperor, but the first emperor had some complaints about Emperor Gaozu...... I am the companion chosen by Gaozu for His Majesty, and I don't have much face in front of the first emperor, and besides, the first emperor wants to lay out for His Majesty, where is there a place for me to speak? ”

Mu Biwei was said by him, and also felt that he overestimated him, Ji Shen was only thirteen years old when he ascended the throne, and Nie Yuansheng was the same age as him, although when the Wei Dynasty was in turmoil, the thirteen-year-old man had already gone into battle to kill the enemy and lead the troops, but when it comes to the power and conspiracy that involves a few years later, it still includes the calculation of a country's government, even Nie Jiezhi's resurrection is unlikely to be possible.

She thought for a while and said: "If Mo Zuosi is executed, I'm afraid it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in Your Majesty's heart, even if you persuade him, Your Majesty may not be able to listen to it all, not to mention that you may not be able to sincerely persuade him to stop his anger, I guess there should be someone who will be unlucky these days?" ”

"If Concubine Sun Guifei doesn't die, there will be a blessing, and it is impossible to enter the middle palace, after all, she only gave birth to a princess, but I am afraid that the position of Right Zhaoyi will not be able to escape." Nie Yuansheng nodded, took another sip of sour plum soup, and then continued, "Zuo Zhaoyi is the bottom line of the Queen Mother and the bottom line of the family, I persuaded for more than an hour before I asked His Majesty to rest his plan to take the Qu clan to vent his anger, but if the Shen Imperial Daughter, who has only been favored for a few days, has no means, I am afraid that it will be like this in the future." ”

Mu Biwei couldn't help but think of what she said to Ah Shan before, and couldn't help laughing: "When I first heard that Shen Imperial Girl was given to live in Changxin Palace, I told Ah Shan that Fan Shinu and Lu Imperial Girl who lived in Changxin Palace first were favored and fell out of favor faster, not to mention Xin Shinu, the Queen Mother let such a person enter the palace and gave Changxin Palace to live, although it is close to Jique, but what does it mean?" ”

"Don't say that the place in Changxin Palace is not good." Nie Yuansheng smiled and said meaningfully, "In the end, it is the residence of the noble concubines of the past dynasties, maybe you will live in it one day." ”

"What's the news for you?" Mu Biwei heard the meaning of his words, and couldn't help but light up her eyes!

Nie Yuansheng smiled slightly: "Even if it's congratulations in advance!" ”

"Can you be more detailed?" Mu Bi sat up straight and asked.

"Lei Moxin said that the original suggestion was Jieyu, but he left a sentence and advised His Majesty to ask me." Nie Yuansheng said with a smile, "After all, it's a matter of the palace, and I don't want to say much, so I just mentioned that Jiang Shunhua is the position of the concubine, Princess Xiping is born to her, and the position of the adoptive mother is not lower than that of the biological mother, this is the dignity of Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

Mu Bi raised her eyebrows slightly, and said: "Among the six concubines, there is only one Jiang Shunhua, and the Ouyang family has also done Ning Hua for a while, but now that she has been deposed as a beauty, Your Majesty is very disgusted with her, should you ask me to be Ning Hua again?" ”

"I don't know." Nie Yuansheng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty's mind is not in political affairs, but it is not ignorant, it was okay earlier, but it was better to be more careful in the spring hunt, so I didn't say much - anyway, the most difficult thing for you is to be promoted from a female official to an official palace concubine, and after passing this level, even if you are not satisfied with your position in the near future, it is not difficult to be promoted." ”

Mu Bi sighed slightly and sighed: "I owe Jiang Shunhua a lot!" ”

"The left and right have been recorded by His Majesty in the account of the Queen Mother, you just got the benefit by coincidence." Nie Yuansheng was not very interested in Jiang Shunhua, and cautiously reminded, "Although Your Majesty has made up his mind this time, because of Jiang Shunhua's death and the matter of the New Year's Palace, the Queen Mother knows that she is at a loss, and she is trying her best to avoid going against His Majesty's will at this juncture, so as not to make a big fuss, but if the holy decree is not issued, it will be difficult to determine the matter one day...... Princess Xiping was born prematurely and her body is weak, whatever method you use, let her live until you are crowned! Otherwise, it will be in vain, well, if you don't have a reliable way, I'll try to ask for a few herbs! ”

Mu Bi shook his head slightly: "Although Xiao Qingyi is an excuse that the nourishment in the first few months is too big to make the fetus too big, so in order not to be dangerous during childbirth, so he persuaded Jiang Shunhua to take the initiative to take a few more steps every day and take the opportunity to start...... But she was right, although Princess Xiping was only seven months old, looking weak, judging from Ashan's experience, her body and bones were actually still good, as long as she was careful not to be harmed, she didn't dare to say it in the future, and she wanted to be okay in the past few months. ”

Nie Yuansheng sighed slightly: "This is because the Queen Mother has long had the idea of leaving her mother and son, otherwise how could she try her best to nourish Jiang Shunhua?" In this way, even if she is born prematurely, the possibility of the emperor's heir surviving is much greater, if it weren't for the fact that there was a grandmother Sun on Sun Guifei's side to remind her, and she couldn't overnourish Mo Zuosi's fear, so let Jiang Shunhua make up all the way to childbirth, and it is unlikely that she will survive. ”

"Alas!" Mu Biwei was silent for a moment, in the end she sighed, she had only seen Jiang Shunhua once, or after Jiang found out that she was pregnant, Ji Shen was reprimanded by the Empress Dowager Gao, and specially went to accompany her to dine and serve her, no matter what Jiang family's plans were, but at the beginning she reminded people that it was always close in comparison.

And this time, he was tantamount to stepping on Jiang's corpse and blood - although he didn't do it himself.

In contrast, in Nie Yuansheng's eyes, just one Jiang Shunhua died when he died, like chaff blown away by the wind, but he didn't care at all, he reminded: "This time I have been promoted to Princess Xiping and raised Princess Xiping, I have already agreed with Sun Guifei's side, they will not come forward to stop it, but ...... There's one thing you need to know! ”

Mu Biwei was still lamenting Jiang's death, and said casually: "What's the matter?" ”

"Although Your Majesty and Concubine Sun both want you to raise Princess Xiping-, Zuo Zhaoyi expressed to the Queen Mother that she hopes to have a son and a half daughter by her side!" Nie Yuansheng said lightly, "Of course, Your Majesty is now full of anger and has nowhere to vent, even the Queen Mother will not force you to give in at this time, the problem is that the Qu clan is very likely to talk to you in private, with conditions such as exceptional promotion, and your father and brother, in exchange for you to give up this raising, you have to have a bottom in your heart." ”

"She doesn't want to!" Mu Biwei said without hesitation, "At the beginning, in order to limit the style of his subordinates to sacrifice their daughters, the prime minister restricted me from being a concubine without a child, and the queen mother stared at the avoidance of the child soup, I finally got to this day, only to be reminded by you to catch the so-called childless, not necessarily by yourself, and did not make it clear at the time, this son refers to the prince or the heir, Jiang Shunhua was calculated and difficult to give birth, leaving Princess Xiping, the queen mother is unwilling to ask Sun Guifei to send someone to raise, Sun Guifei also needs me to share the pressure of the queen mother...... It's a great time for me to be promoted, how can I give it to her? ”

Nie Yuansheng smiled: "Even if the prime minister is left and right, if the Qu family really moves his mind, this matter may not be accommodating." ”

"So what?" Mu Bi sneered slightly, "I already have a legitimate opportunity to be promoted, it's not good to put it down, but do you have to be a low-ranking family?" What's more, if Xiping was sent over this time, if Qu Shi turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, what could I do with her? It's no wonder if you don't die of laughter when you turn around! ”

She slowed down her voice and said word by word, "The most important thing is that when Jiang Shunhua had a difficult birth, His Majesty hastily called me and He, who had never given birth, to the delivery room to take care of it!" I'll take over Xiping, but I haven't raised it, and the account won't be on my head! If it is pushed to the Qu clan and something happens, Your Majesty will definitely be angry with me! If nothing happens, won't Your Majesty feel disappointed in me? I rely on the Holy Family in this palace, but it is not the appreciation of her Qu family or the Queen Mother! ”

"I knew you wouldn't agree." Nie Yuansheng smiled and shook his head, "But in the end, let me remind you, Qu's personality, I also know something, she won't, or disdain to use any conspiracy, since you don't want to, just refuse, don't worry about anything." ”

Speaking of this, he changed his words, "However, the Queen Mother's side will definitely credit you for this!" ”

"Just remember it." Mu Biwei said lightly, "The Queen Mother has remembered Sun Guifei for two years, and Sun Guifei is about to become the right Zhaoyi by this time, what do I have to worry about?" ”

Nie Yuansheng smiled faintly, took a bamboo pillow behind him, closed his eyes and said, "Well, it's good if you have a success." ”

"It has taken a lot of money for you to come to relieve Your Majesty in the past few days, and you are tired of saying a few words." Mu Biwei saw the lack of joy in his expression, and couldn't help but say, "If you can still stay, I'll ask Bang to make a bowl of ginseng soup." ”

"That's not necessary." Nie Yuansheng opened his eyes and said, "Comforting Your Majesty has been my forte since I was a child...... It's just that I've been worried about your promotion for a long time, and now that I see that things are about to come to fruition, my heart is relieved, but I feel tired. ”

He sighed and stood up, "It was said in the New Year's Hall that the second princess is not very good, Your Majesty is in a hurry to see it, and I just looked forward to the opportunity to come, how can I stay for a long time?" ”
