The Queen Mother sat on the top of the main hall, and her face was extremely ugly. Seeing this situation, I guessed that last night's incident must be related to the Queen Mother.

"Queen Mother, the sons came today to ask for a reward for their sister." I took the emperor's hand and looked at the queen mother on the throne with a smile.

"Sister? Ha, when did the queen have another sister. ”

"When Erchen was young, his father brought back a playmate from outside, and Erchen has always regarded him as his sister, this sister has a crush, and in the Great Zhou, his father made a marriage contract, and this year has arrived, so he is ready to get married."

I explained happily, but the Queen Mother was visibly impatient.

"The marriage is successful, the queen's own recognized sister, why is she going to ask for a reward from the mourning family?" The Queen Mother sneered at me: "Could it be that the dowry brought by the Great Zhou is not as good as the new moon?" ”

"Queen Mother, Erchen is already the queen of the Crescent Moon, how can she already be regarded as a person of the New Moon, and the younger sister of the Erchen, coincidentally, is also going to marry the Crescent Moon as a lady, the Queen Mother is a blessed person, so I thought to the son, if the Queen Mother can give her something, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing for the marriage of the two countries."

"Well, the queen is right." Emperor Qi Yan echoed on the side, "If they are in love, it will really be a beautiful thing, but I don't know who the queen's sister is and who she is marrying?" ”

I glanced at the Queen Mother, who was a little blindfolded, turned my head and covered my mouth to Emperor Qi Yan, and said with a mischievous smile: "Your Majesty, the sister that the concubine said is far away in front of you, it is none other than Du Ruo." ”

I stretched out my hand and pulled Du Ruo, who was standing aside, to the front, and Du Ruo immediately bowed to the emperor and the queen mother.

"Du Ruo?!" Emperor Qi Yan looked at Du Ruo who was kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "She is not your maid, how did she become your sister?" ”

I stretched out my hand to help Du Ruo up, and said with a smile: "Du Ruo is the playmate that my father found for the concubine, and the concubine has always regarded her as a sister to stay by her side and be a maid, so I really wronged her." ”

"It's really funny, the queen mother of the mourning family and the new moon actually wants to give a reward to a subordinate, from ancient times to the present, where is there such a reason?!" The Queen Mother looked at me angrily, "Queen, you have this in mind!" ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother was angry, Emperor Qi Yan was very strange, "Queen Mother, it's just a reward, why be so angry?" Anyway, it's a beautiful thing. ”

"Emperor, you, what do you know." The Queen Mother was still angry, stood up directly from the chair, and walked over to me slowly, "Why should a maid marry a woman, why should she be rewarded by her mourning family." ”

I snorted coldly, grabbed Du Ruo's hand, slowly stood up, and turned to face the Queen Mother.

"The Queen Mother thinks that meddling in Du Ruo's marriage is very much a bargain for your identity, right?"

The Queen Mother was stunned by my sudden question.

I didn't give the Queen Mother a chance to speak, and continued to ask directly.

"In this case, then the Queen Mother should not interfere in Du Ruo's marriage in the first place, let alone give her a big gift at night!" As I spoke, I threw the short dagger straight from my cuff and threw it on the ground.

The Queen Mother was so frightened that she screamed, and although the emperor Qi Yan on the side was a little surprised, she seemed to understand something at once.

"Bold, you, you dare to bring weapons into Jingxi Palace!?" The Queen Mother pointed at me and shouted to the guards outside the palace: "Someone, help!" ”

"Help? His Majesty the Emperor is still safe here, why did the Empress Dowager herself panic and save her. "I turned around and knelt down to Emperor Qi Yan." Your Majesty, the concubine has no intention of harming the Queen Mother, this dagger is just a concubine returning to its original owner, and please ask Your Majesty to be the master. ”

"Nonsense, this dagger is not a mourner!" The Queen Mother was quibbling on the side, and at this time, several guards outside the palace broke in, but when they saw Emperor Qi Yan waving their hands, they retreated again.

The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Qi Yan with a puzzled expression.

"Emperor, what's the matter, you believe the queen's nonsense?"

Emperor Qi Yan looked at me, then got up and picked up the dagger and handed it to Ji Li, the guard beside him.

"Lone heard about the fight between the black-clothed men in Kyoto last night, presumably, it should be what the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother said today."

"Your Majesty is really smart, and if the concubine had to do so, she wouldn't act so recklessly." I responded with a smile.

"Queen, you are pregnant, get up and talk back."

"Yes."

I grabbed Du Ruo's hand and stood up with her.

"Does the queen mother want to meddle in Du Ruo's marriage?" Qi Yan asked lightly.

The Queen Mother wanted to deny it, but when she saw that Emperor Qi Yan no longer believed in herself, she had no choice but to confess.

"Yes, the mourning family will never allow such a lowly person to marry into the royal family of the new moon." The Queen Mother turned her head and said bitterly to Emperor Qi Yan: "Emperor, you don't know, this Du wants to marry your uncle's son." ”

"Queen Mother, Lone knows." Qi Yan responded calmly: "From the first time I saw Zheng, Gu knew that he was here to find Uncle Huang. ”

"What, you know?!"

"Well, and it was Lone who told the queen to let Zheng go to Qing'an Temple to recognize the emperor's uncle."

Emperor Qi Yan responded lightly, and the Queen Mother couldn't help but look at Qi Yan with some disappointment, and pointed at me for a long time and said with tears in her eyes: "Sure enough, since this woman entered the palace, the emperor has become farther and farther away from the mourning family, and everything has begun to be hidden from the mourning family, even such a thing as the recognition of the blood relatives of the royal family is also hidden from the mourning family, you are really a good emperor of the mourning family." ”

Watching the Queen Mother cry, Emperor Qi Yan was a little moved by compassion. And I don't believe in tears the least. It's either a weapon, or a true heart, even if it's sincere, don't you want to think about why the emperor is so wary of her?

"The queen mother must not say that, when the queen mother interfered in the marriage of the blood relatives of the royal family, how could she discuss it with His Majesty the Emperor?" I was asking softly, naturally, in exchange for a stormy response from the Queen Mother.

"Shut up! You, a vicious woman, do your best to sow discord, don't rely on being the princess of Da Zhou, just think about running rampant in the palace, and tell you that Da Zhou is no longer what the Yuwen family said. ”

"The news of the queen mother came quite quickly, but even if it is not the Yuwen family that is in power, the emperor is still from the Yuwen family, and the identity of the son is the princess of the Great Zhou after all, which is a fact that cannot be changed."

I stood beside Emperor Qi Yan with a worried look.

"I heard that Yang Xiong is an ambitious person, if he is allowed to catch the handle of Xinyue and treat the people of Da Zhou at this moment, I am afraid it will be ......."

I saw Qi Yan's brows furrowed slightly, knowing my words, he listened. And the Queen Mother is still counting her chess pieces on the side.

"Don't be alarmist here, as long as we unite the tribes of the Crescent, as well as Yasukuni, Qi and other countries, even if the Great Zhou attacks at that time, we will not be afraid."
