Xiao Shi, the lord of Pingyang County, has lived in Jianzhou City for a long time in recent years.

lived in the mansion that Yan Yunge specially bought for her.

Every month or two, she always has to go to the palace to visit the Empress Dowager Yan, the Young Emperor, and Princess Jianing.

Princess Jianing dragged on for several years, and finally confirmed the marriage at the beginning of this year.

At the end of the year, they will get married.

Xiao entered the palace happily, and she wanted to discuss Princess Jianing's marriage with Empress Dowager Yan.

As an elder, she wants to prepare a thoughtful, practical, and heartfelt gift for her granddaughter.

was full of joy, but unexpectedly, after meeting, she realized that Empress Dowager Yan was not in a high mood and was in a bad mood.

She could only put down her own affairs and asked with concern: "Are you worried about the government again?" ”

Empress Dowager Yan first said "um".

After a moment of silence, he asked again: "Haven't you heard about the rumors outside recently?" ”

"You mean Tsuma-sama's business? The Cui family hasn't moved, so why should you worry. ”

Empress Dowager Yan sighed, "Can this palace not worry?" Ling Changzhi harbored evil intentions, and now the courtiers are talking about when Cui Aiqing will return to his hometown for retirement.

People's hearts, especially the hearts of officials, once there is movement, it is extremely difficult to calm down.

The hearts of the people in the court were shaken, the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods all came out, and the palace was really tired recently. ”

After speaking, she rubbed her eyebrows, revealing her exhaustion.

Xiao Shi looked at her distressedly, "If you want me to say, the bell must be tied to the bell to solve this matter, let Master Cui come out and show his attitude in public, and those wall grasses should naturally know to stop."

Master Cui is silent, and you will be asked to deal with everything, and he is unqualified as an auxiliary minister.

As you said, there are so many rumors outside, I don't believe that Master Cui doesn't know about it.

Since he knows that he has to pretend to be deaf and dumb, he is not a good person. The first emperor believed him wrong. ”

Empress Dowager Yan didn't know what to say.

There can only be silence.

Xiao Shi reiterated again, "This palace is serious, Lord Cui is not the top thing now, so you haven't thought about changing people?" ”

"I'd like to change people. But for whom? Who is more qualified and prestigious than Master Cui, and can still suppress Shi Wenling Changzhi's uncle and nephew? searched all over the court, but couldn't find anyone. ”

Empress Dowager Yan looked irritable.

"Mother, don't give me bad ideas. In short, Cui Aiqing will always stay in the court. ”

Xiao Shi looked at her and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's hard for you, a woman's family worries about military affairs every day, and she has to intrigue with a group of men. Fortunately, in a few years, Your Majesty will be in power, and you will be able to unload this burden. ”

Empress Dowager Yan didn't move, and she didn't seem to listen to these words at all.

Or maybe you don't want to hear anything like that.

Xiao Shi suddenly worried, "Yunqi, you won't fall in love with the throne and not return the government to Your Majesty, right?" ”

Empress Dowager Yan came back to her senses and said with a wry smile: "What is Mother thinking nonsense? The emperor is my own son, who else can I give if I don't return the government to him. ”

Xiao Shi let out a sigh of relief and patted his heart, looking happy.

"That's it! I'm afraid that your mother and son will have a conflict. ”

When Empress Dowager Yan heard this, she couldn't help laughing, "Mother is not worried about me, it is better to persuade the fourth sister." After so many years, she just refused to come to Jianzhou. Could it be that Jianzhou has a Longtan tiger's den, can it eat people?

The eldest sister will come to Jianzhou every year to live for half a year, and talk to the palace to relieve boredom.

The fourth sister is good, she has so much territory that she refuses to take a step.

Why don't your mother write a letter to her fourth sister and ask her what she thinks? Does she still have me in her heart? ”

"You're talking nonsense again! Of course Yun Ge has you in her heart, and she has always cared about you. It's just that you also know that she is very busy and it is difficult to walk away. ”

"I think she is obviously afraid that the imperial court will be unfavorable to her, so she doesn't dare to come to Jianzhou. That's it, that's it, I don't do what is difficult for a wicked person, and I don't do anything that is difficult for a strong man. ”

Xiao Shi was very worried.

Two daughters, if there is a dislike because of this, it will not be worth it.

She patiently persuaded: "I know that you have been busy and angry lately, but you shouldn't speculate about Yunge nonsense. She's not who you say she is, you know that better than anyone else. ”

Empress Dowager Yan laughed, "I used to know very well. Every time, I would speak for my fourth sister in front of the first emperor.

She is Hongu's own sister, and Hongu has always believed that she will not harm me.

Now, this palace doesn't know whether to continue to trust?

She is ambitious and makes it clear that she is not satisfied with the status quo. The imperial court and Pingyang County may go to war at any time, and the palace will not know what to do when the time comes? ”

"The imperial court wants to go to war with Yun Ge? Why? Yun Ge has been very restrained, and he has not made any mistakes all these years......"

"Mother, don't say any more. A lot of things are not as simple as they seem. ”

"How complicated is that? You and Hongu make it clear ......"

"These things can't be said clearly, so don't embarrass the mother of this palace, okay?"

Empress Dowager Yan shook off her hand a little impatiently.

Over the years, only in front of her mother Xiao Shi, she can speak willfully and lose her temper like a child.

She doesn't hide her temper, she doesn't hide her inner irritability.

Xiao Shi had a lot to say, but looking at her like this, he swallowed as many words as he could.

I don't want to embarrass my daughter, the reason is as simple as that.

The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, it's difficult!

Empress Dowager Yan also realized that her mood was wrong, her tone was a little softer, and she took the initiative to change the topic and talk about Princess Jianing's marriage.

So......

The atmosphere between mother and daughter has improved a bit.

……

Binh Duong County.

Every other ten days and a half months, Yan Yunge always has to go to the county lord's mansion to take a look, and occasionally stay for one night.

Mother Xiao has been away for five years, and the county lord's mansion has not had a serious master for five years.

Yan Yunge arranged for his subordinates to clean and maintain, and took good care of the county lord's mansion.

In this way, at any time, as long as the mother Xiao returns, she can live directly in it.

It's just that......

Looking at the situation, her mother Xiao is a little happy in Jianzhou, and it seems that she is about to forget the flowers and plants in Pingyang County and the Royal Women's College founded by herself.

Xiao Yi suggested: "If you miss the county lord, write to her and ask her to come back." ”

Yan Yunge shook her head, "Mother is in Jianzhou, and she can live as long as she wants." When she gets tired of living and wants to come back, she will naturally come back. ”

"I'm afraid you won't be able to do it. The county lord's mother is older than a year, and when people are older, they are not willing to move and move around. If you don't ask the county lord to come back for a day, the county lord will probably not leave Jianzhou one step. ”

Yan Yunge laughed, "Of course I understand this truth. It's just that...... Jianzhou has a second sister, and the eldest sister will also live in Jianzhou for half a year every year. It's better to have two older sisters with my mother, than when I am busy all day long, and it's rare to see each other when we live together. ”

Xiao Yi looked at her and asked bluntly; "Something?"

Yan Yunge shook his head and nodded again.

"Lately, I've been thinking a lot, what's next? Do you want to maintain the status quo, or do you want to be aggressive? ”

"Is there an answer?"

"I've disappointed you, there is no answer yet."

After a pause, she continued: "The second brother said in the letter that my father's health is not as good as in previous years, and he is old, and all kinds of problems have come out. However, my father's dead duck has a hard mouth, never admits defeat, and never admits the fact that he is aging. ”

Listening to her nagging, Xiao Yi was a little worried.

He was worried that Yun Ge was thinking too much and being trapped by various emotions.

He said very seriously: "You have always been very assertive. Why have you been hesitant lately? Is it because of Empress Dowager Yan and the little emperor? Someone is nagging in your ear again, telling you to send troops south? If you don't want to, just refuse.

According to our original plan, we will continue to encroach on the land and population of Beiliang.

And we've been doing this all these years, and it's progressing pretty well, and soon we'll have two states and twelve counties. I can imagine that Liu Baoshun is about to be angry to death. ”

Yan Yunge looked at him, "There are so many gossips outside, aren't you worried?" ”

Xiao Yi laughed and scratched her nose, "I know you have a lot of eyes." A lot of people outside said that the two of us should stand up for themselves as kings, and then discuss the question of who will be the king.

I don't care about big men, what do you care? You're just thinking too much. If you have the strength to think about these things, it's better to have another girl. ”

Bah!

Yan Yunge took a bite out of him.

gave birth to two children, both of which almost cost her death.

There is still one more, and I am afraid that I will have to give an account of my life.

She teased: "It's a big deal, we're the king side by side." ”

"Good! You are the prince, and I am also the prince, blind their eyes. ”

"Forget it!" Yan Yunge was in a depressed mood, "What is the king doing, I have nothing to do." It's good now. ”

"Listen to you, if you say you will be king, I will be king, if you insist on maintaining the status quo, I have no opinion. As for my soldiers, rest assured, I will keep them under control. Whoever dares to make trouble will be severely punished. ”

Yan Yunge suddenly hugged him, and the two of them approached.

She tilted her head and looked at the other party, "You don't have to worry about the people under me, they don't dare to have two hearts." Do you think that in the future, we will be able to discuss everything like we are now? ”

"Can't you trust yourself, or can't you trust me? I'm single-minded with you. You can't be half-hearted and spend every day. ”

Xiao Yat solemnly warned, a shocking husband.

Yan Yunge laughed, "You are the one who spends the intestines every day." Honestly, how many flowers and plants there are around. ”

Xiao Yizheng is eight classics, "There are not a single flowers and plants, but there are tens of thousands of old men, who are sweaty." ”

Bah!

Who talks to him about this.

He tickled her, and she couldn't stand the tickle the most.

The two of them giggled.

One begged for mercy, and the other was on the move.

"Do you dare to slander that there are flowers and plants around me?"

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

In the sky above the county lord's mansion, the laughter of the husband and wife wafted.

made this empty mansion suddenly have more fireworks in the world.
