There are like-minded confidants and friends, there are friends who have fun together, there are allies who have common interests, and there are friends who are enemies.

Cha'er and Ke Yarun are friendly to each other because they have a common enemy.

It is not appropriate to talk much about the side of the road in this palace, seeing that the tea is still discussed, Ke Yarun invited her to taste tea in the Shouliang Palace.

In order to show respect, and to make up for the debt of Ke Yajie after he could not be sealed, the size of the courtyard in Shouliang Palace, the architectural pattern, and the exquisiteness of the pavilion are almost the same as those of Yusheng Palace.

The eunuchs and palace maids respect Concubine Ke Yajie very much, so they never snub Ke Yarun. Although this lady is the widow of the anti-king, she is still a noble lady who can call slaves and maids at will in the Shouliang Palace.

During the Spring Festival, the affairs were complicated, Ke Yajie was not in the palace, Ke Yarun led Cha'er into the room specially reserved for her, and let the little palace maid retreat and talk to Cha'er secretly after serving tea.

"The tea emperor didn't confuse the emperor with coquettishness, but also had justice to complain about the sister, and she really had the golden phoenix style to be the master of the harem." Ke Yarun's attitude was unclear, praising Cha'er for holding her while observing her words and watching her secretly.

"Lady is testing whether I have the heart to covet the rear position, afraid of driving away the tiger and inviting hungry wolves, right?" Cha'er picked up the bowl and gently brushed the tea leaves, and asked coldly.

"This ...... Please forgive the prisoner's small vision, stupid mind, Tea Emperor Gu has helped me many times, I really don't know what the Tea Emperor Gu is seeking, if it is useful to me, but by sending. "

"I don't want to be a queen, I just want to help your sister get back the honor she deserves, don't say secret words in front of the Ming people, I tell you the truth about everything I think."

Cha'er paused, and Ke Yarun looked at her and waited for the following, secretly worried that she would not come up with harsh conditions that could not be done.

Looking at Ke Yarun's very anxious and expectant appearance, Cha'er's heart swelled with a very pleasant sense of satisfaction, it was really refreshing to be able to hold others, this person was still the arrogant and arrogant Princess Cheng, which made Cha'er even more proud.

"I have no intention of seducing the emperor to be the queen, I just want to find a backer who will not fall, your Ke sisters are my backers, and I myself am also my backers."

After Cha'er said it, Ke Yarun still didn't understand it too much, and Cha'er explained the reason in detail.

First, Han Zexi is wholeheartedly devoted to Shen Zhujun, and it is not easy to make him empathize with him. Moreover, Cha'er is the righteous daughter of the Empress Dowager, and she is considered to be the emperor's aunt's generation, regardless of her actual age, this generation is stuck there, even if Han Zexi can be favored, there will be people who will attack her in the future.

Second, the relationship between Shen Zhujun and Cha'er is very cold, after the Empress Dowager returned to heaven for a hundred years, Cha'er can't have a foothold in the palace, and there is no place to live by Cheng Haofeng's side.

Ke Yarun nodded frequently when he heard this, and asked worriedly: "You also said that the emperor is wholeheartedly devoted to the queen, and my sister is an elm head who is not open-minded, and now she can't compete for any favor, let alone ascend to the queen's throne." ”

"The royal affairs are different from the people's families, they are family affairs and state affairs, and everyone in the world sympathizes with Concubine De. As long as we add a few more fires, the emperor's favor for Concubine De will increase, and a little bit can change from respect to love. "

Ke Yarun understood the meaning of Cha'er, covered his mouth and laughed softly: "As long as everyone says that my sister is good and that Queen Shen is bad, the emperor is a stone will change, and the tea emperor will see it." ”

Everyone in the world knows that Ke Yarun married Han Zexi first, she is the princess of Shenjun, and when Han Zexi becomes the emperor, she should be the queen, but she doesn't know that Shen Zhujun has a marriage contract with him and has affection first, so he only quit the marriage because of all kinds of pressure. When the pressure is lifted, he will definitely have to renew his old relationship, not to mention that he and Ke Yajie are not husband and wife.

It stands to reason that she does owe Ke Yajie, but Han Zexi also tried his best to compensate her from other aspects, and Shen Zhujun did not deliberately suppress her.

If Shen Zhujun had the heart to pamper and suppress the other concubines, he would only let Ke Yajie be crowned a concubine, and she would not give it a deduction, so that she would not be able to buy people's hearts.

Later, she could even use her brother-in-law's rebellion to frame her for conspiracy, depose her as a concubine and send her to the cold palace, and even the Ke family was beheaded all over the house, how can she still have a noble status now, and even her sister is also treated preferentially?

Ke Yajie kept her duty, Shen Zhujun gave her three points, and she also respected Shen Zhujun for three points, but Ke Yarun thought of another great cause.

Ke Yarun wanted Ke Yajie to be favored as the queen, give birth to the crown prince, and then find an opportunity to kill Han Zexi.

The Ke family is powerful, so first rehabilitate King Chengjun, regather the original power, and uproot Han Zexi's faction, then it can be regarded as what he wants.

Of course, many words can't be explained as they think, but Cha'er still guessed seven points about Ke Yarun's thoughts from the few words she talked about.

"Although there is a grand wish, things have to be done step by step, let the contradiction between the Empress Dowager and Empress Shen be picked on the surface first, and then talk about anything else." Before Cha'er left, she discussed a small conspiracy with Ke Yarun.

In the afternoon, when the Empress Dowager woke up from a nap, Cha'er instigated her to return the dress that Shen Zhujun had chosen to send, and said that she would give Shen Zhujun a chance to fulfill her filial piety and embroider a screen used in the Lantern Festival.

The embroidered screen transmits light, the light shadow swayes, and it is convenient for the Queen Mother to watch the lanterns, drink tea, and talk and laugh behind the seat.

Shen Zhujun didn't think much about it, and asked Ah Lu to do it after this fact. There are not many reliable people around her, there are a lot of things to do, and she can't suppress those embroiderers, and if she can't supervise the slightest place, the embroidery girls will cut corners.

Cha'er found the Aya Jin Yuan and promised him benefits, so he arranged for the embroidery girl to do things according to Cha'er's intentions.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the lights in the capital are bright like the colorful glow in the sky, several main streets are all kinds of lanterns and lanterns, although the lanterns in the palace banquet place are not as many as outside the palace, its exquisite and gorgeous is the most in the world.

Shen Zhujun was wearing a light green dress, and a cloak with a faint golden light in the plain white. She is already beautiful and beautiful, talented and elegant, and she also stands out among many beauties.

Cha'er raised her eyebrows and glanced at her, and whispered in the empress dowager's ear, "The queen's dress looks simple, but it is actually extravagant. The cloak is called 'tidbits qiu', which is produced in a small country that has been attached to our dynasty for nearly two years. It is said that the flocculent wool that is similar to silver thread is taken from the husk of a cotton peach, and then woven with gold thread to form a cloak. The kind of flocculent is short and has no toughness, and cannot be spun into threads, but it is soft and comfortable to wear, warm in winter and cool in summer, so it is woven into clothes by means of gold thread. "

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, "Is it produced by a small country that has only been attached in the past two years?" It's no wonder that the mourning family has never seen tidbits Qiu before. It is said that the queen writes history in the study every day, and she doesn't worry about clothes and accessories, but she keeps such a novel and valuable cloak for her own use. She doesn't care about what others wear, but she still thinks about how she dresses herself. ”

Cha'er smiled secretly, and the Empress Dowager's impression of Shen Zhujun was a little worse.

When the tidbits Qiu paid tribute, there was only one piece, Han Zexi saw that Shen Zhujun was wearing it very appropriately, so he gave it to her, and she didn't know much about how difficult it was to weave it, and how much it was worth and so on, so it attracted criticism for no reason.

After the banquet, the Empress Dowager got up to watch the lantern, Cao Beidao and Duan Mengrou, Fa Luo and others came to say goodbye, Cao Beidao looked at the screen next to the seat and exclaimed, "This screen is exquisitely embroidered, the flowers are bright and true, the branches and leaves are verdant, and the characters are lifelike. ”

Many people listened to what he said, moved their eyes from the lantern to the embroidery screen, and asked Duan Mengrou again: "Duan Tianfei is well-informed, I don't know what legend there is about this oleander flower?" Why is this embroidered screen called 'Joy of the Same Root'? "

Duan Mengrou didn't know if he really didn't know the legend about oleander or if he didn't know, so it could be seen that the others also looked at him, so he had to tell it, otherwise he would be shallow.

Once upon a time, there was a businessman surnamed Jia, and after his wife died, he left a son, Jia Zhu.

Father and son depend on each other, but life is inconvenient, and Jia Zhu has no one to take care of when his father goes out to sell goods.

So, he remarried Wang as his wife, and later gave birth to his youngest son Jia Tao, Wang was not partial, and he was still very good to Jia Zhu.

The brothers went to school together, and when they were about to grow up, their father died.

Wang's hard work allowed the two children to continue studying, and let them go to the exam together, the younger brother Jia Tao was admitted to the Jinshi, and the elder brother Jia Zhu was greedy and played tricks to delay the exam.

Jia Tao was later granted an official position by the imperial court and went to other places, Jia Zhu ruined his family business at home, and he also caused trouble everywhere and violated the law and was sentenced to be confiscated into the army.

The place where Jia Zhufa was assigned to the army happened to be the place where his younger brother served, and Jia Tao did not alienate his brother because he became a prisoner, and secretly helped his brother study the military book.

A few years later, Jia Zhu was pardoned because of his strong martial arts and proficient in the art of war, and he also made great military exploits for the imperial court.

The brothers were both successful, Wang died of illness, and decades later, the brothers died of old age and were buried on both sides of Wang's tomb, and a strange flower tree grew on Wang's grave.

The flowers are like peach blossoms, the leaves are like bamboo leaves, and they are three-leaf rotational. The neighbors were amazed, and when they went to pull the tree, they found that the roots of the tree were connected to three graves.

The meaning of joy in the same root, blood relatives can not compete with each other, the same root and the same withered glory, the stepson is regarded as his own, the family works together, and the family business is prosperous.

Everyone was attracted by Duan Mengrou's words, and they all came to see the embroidery screen, and then they all praised the screen for its good embroidery, but Fa Luo suddenly said: "Why does this mother Wang embroider with a weird smile as if she is hiding a traitor, and the child is also embroidered fat and thin?" Obviously sarcastic. "

Cao Beidao immediately retorted, "Who are you mocking? Master, you think too much, just take a good meaning. The relationship between the emperor and the empress dowager is that of an aunt and a stepnephew, not a stepmother and a stepson. "

They talked quietly, but the Empress Dowager had heard it, and glanced at them coldly, but they were quite prestigious, and they often prayed for her, and they did not have a seizure.

Fallo raised his voice a little, "Then why do you want to embroider this 'joy of the same root' to send to the Empress Dowager?" Still embroidering the characters so weirdly? ”

Everyone looked at the three embroidered figures, the embroiderers were very good, but the expressions on their faces were indeed indescribably weird, as if the smile was a fake smile.

The Empress Dowager couldn't suppress her anger anymore, and she didn't call the "emperor", so she asked Shen Zhujun: "What do you mean by sending this 'same root joy' embroidered screen?" Ironically, the mourning family is not as good as the stepmother Wang, didn't treat the emperor as his own son? "

Shen Zhujun only knows the legend of oleander, and thinks the meaning is good, and he has used the oleander pattern in front of the Queen Mother before, and he didn't ask much about embroidering the screen, but he didn't expect it to lead to these, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
