After two major changes in the spring of the imperial court, there were vacancies in many yamen, and the ministers who could stay in important positions such as the cabinet and the six ministries of Santai adopted a wait-and-see attitude because they could not find the sudden change in the style of acting of Emperor Yong, and they were wise to protect themselves everywhere.

The matter was pressed on Gu Nanye, Ge Zheng and other courtiers who were deeply trusted by Emperor Yong.

Gu Nanye was busy dealing with the cases of the convicted officials, helping Ge Zheng select and promote the officials of the Guanguan Department, and rectifying the defense of the Beijing Army.

But no matter how busy he is, he will also worry about Taixuan's situation.

Late that night, Gu Nanye had just finished the trial of an important case in the Criminal Department, and when he walked out of the yamen, he asked Xu Baoru on the road: "How is Taixuan's injury?" ”

Although Xu Baoru was disliked by his sister, he has always kept in touch and communicated with each other.

Xu Baoru said in detail: "The princess has walked without hindrance, just waiting for the wound to slowly heal. On the first day of April, the princess entered the palace to greet the Queen Mother, and took the initiative to mention to the Queen Mother that she wanted to go to the Yaowang Temple with the Queen Mother to worship the Buddha at twenty-eight o'clock in April. ”

April twenty-eight is the birth of the Medicine King Bodhisattva, the Queen Mother is not in good health, it is not strange to go to the Medicine King Temple to worship the Buddha, but the strange thing is why Taixuan suddenly took the initiative to get close to the Queen Mother?

I'm afraid she has something else in mind.

"What is she going to do?" Gu Nanye asked Xu Baoru.

Xu Baoru shook his head and said: "I also asked Huanhuan, and the princess only said that since she has become a family, she should be closer and happy." ”

Gu Nanye didn't believe it.

If it was before, Gu Nanye would have asked directly when he saw Taixuan, but now he deliberately avoided it and asked the people below to ask, he would definitely not be able to ask her true thoughts.

There was no way, Gu Nanye had to advise: "Let Feng Hu pay more attention, do a good job of the security of the Yaowang Temple in advance, and don't make any mistakes." ”

"Yes."

Qu Muge deliberately got close to Empress Dowager Yu, naturally for a reason.

In Ye Taohua's dream, Gu Nanye offended the Empress Dowager Yu because of his opposition to the establishment of the emperor's eldest son as the crown prince, and suffered some losses for this.

According to Qu Muge's current observations, Gu Nanye still doesn't appreciate the emperor's eldest son very much, and it is estimated that the same script will be staged.

If she can get the Empress Dowager Yu's liking, maybe she can help Gu Nanye say good things in front of the Empress Dowager, or find out some news for him, which will always be useful.

However, Qu Muge was very puzzled about Gu Nanye's political position.

He didn't support the eldest prince, the second prince and the fourth prince lost their qualifications early in Emperor Yongdi because of Zuo Jieyu, so there was only one third prince left......

The third prince Li Youxiang was born by Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian was demoted to a noble concubine because of the fire of the Kong Ming lantern on the Shangyuan Festival, and the life of the third prince is not very good now, and he has not seen Gu Nanye help or cultivate him.

Could it be that as seen in the dream, Gu Nanye wants to pull the banner and do great things by himself?

Qu Muge was taken aback by her own thoughts, she didn't understand the government, and she didn't want to think about it if she couldn't figure it out, anyway, she unconditionally supported Gu Nanye in government affairs, after all, he bled hard to protect his family and defend the country, and he tried his best to help the society and eliminate evil, all of which she saw in her eyes.

On the twenty-eighth day, Bai Yuanhui led a team to escort Qu Muge and made an appointment to meet the Queen Mother at Yaowang Temple.

They set off early, and when they arrived at the Yaowang Temple, they unexpectedly found that there was someone earlier than her, and it was Xie Zhiyin who Qu Muge didn't expect to appear here and now.

Xie Zhiyin stepped forward to greet her, and Qu Muge asked, "Sister Zhiyin, did the imperial grandmother invite you here?" I didn't know you were coming, but if we did, we came together. ”

Xie Zhiyin nodded and said, "Yes, the decree I received temporarily yesterday." ”

She added pointedly: "I heard that Xiang Ge Lao's granddaughter was also invited, Xiang Simin." ”

Qu Muge was a little surprised, but after seeing Xie Zhiyin, Xiang Simin's appearance was expected.

In the previous life, Xiang Simin was the concubine of the emperor's eldest son.

Since Empress Dowager Yu intends to take a look at the young ladies in her photo, she naturally wants to invite the candidates for the concubine out, but Xie Zhiyin and her are today's supporting roles.

Xiang Simin has a strong background, her grandfather is a cabinet elder, and her father is now a fourth-grade official who is released, and in a few years, he will definitely enter the three stations and six departments.

Moreover, the former virtuous concubine, and now the noble concubine, are her aunts.

In order to avoid supporting the third prince to the family, Empress Dowager Yu won such a princess for the eldest son of the emperor, which can be described as well-intentioned.

But such a combination, Xiang Guifei must be very unhappy.

Qu Muge thought about the twists and turns, and sat with Xie Zhiyin in the tearoom in the front yard of Yaowang Temple.

Now that there is no one else, Qu Muge asked: "Sister bosom friend, we have known each other for a few days, and my sister has a few words to say directly." ”

Xie Zhiyin sat up straighter, and replied seriously: "The princess treats me sincerely, and I also have something I want to discuss with you." ”

Qu Muge nodded and said: "The imperial grandmother is the eldest brother of the princess, and she has summoned many official ladies before, and the imperial grandmother invited you and Miss Xiang today, presumably because she has taken a fancy to you." But weighing the pros and cons, the position of the concubine is none other than Miss Xiang, are you really willing to enter the palace as a prince's side concubine? ”

Qu Muge dared to tell her this, also because Xie Zhiyin often went to Taixuanguan to worship Buddha alone in his previous life, and his life was cold, and his relationship with the eldest prince was not good, thinking that she personally did not have any emotional tendencies towards the eldest prince.

Xie Zhiyin whispered: "Miss Xiang's identity is naturally not comparable to me, I don't want to compete with her for the position of concubine, but my marriage, where can I say?" ”

How deep the relationship between the Xie family and the eldest prince is, Qu Muge doesn't know, and Xie Zhiyin doesn't mention this.

Putting aside the family position, Qu Muge sincerely persuaded: "My sister is a smart person, I must know the reason why the Queen Mother married Miss Xiang to the eldest prince." Although the eldest prince is raised under the knees of Xiang Guifei, there are three princes in the middle, and it is difficult to say who the Xiang family supports. In the future, there will inevitably be many contradictions between Xiang Guifei and the eldest prince, Miss Xiang is Xiang Guifei's niece, they will not tear their faces, but what about you? Isn't it a tool for the two of them to be angry? ”

Xie Zhiyin said sadly: "I didn't know that the Queen Mother wanted to fight for the eldest prince's family, but now that her position is clear, there will be some ups and downs in the future, and my mother is also worried about this." ”

Qu Muge said: "There are thousands of roads in the world, my sister wants to persuade Lingzun and Lingtang, don't go one way to the dark, for your own sake, you can't let it go." ”

She didn't say anything, even if the Xie family firmly supports the eldest prince, it is not only a way to get married, she believes that the Xie family will figure it out.

Xie Zhiyin listened silently and did not say anything.

Qu Muge knew that this matter could not be forced, and it was someone else's business, so she could only persuade her to stop at the point.
