After the dust settled on the Danzhou incident, the queen was grounded, and even the fourteenth prince was more or less affected.

However, the queen did not stay in the palace in peace, and after she learned that the reason why the matter was revealed was because of the King of Qin's obstruction, she was resentful and tried every means to get back a game for herself.

But Concubine Xian has been in the palace for so many years, to say that she is counting on the emperor's favor, and has no means to deal with tricks, even the queen herself does not believe it. Besides, King Qin, who is outside the palace, is relied on by Emperor Yun, and it is even more difficult to move him.

But since she is already angry, this woman will naturally not give up easily.

After more than a month, the cold winter is gone, everything recovers, and the weather gradually warms up.

Since the incident in Shunzhou, Lan Qianzhu's attitude towards Yun Lan has undergone a subtle change, perhaps even she didn't feel this change.

And Emperor Yun's body has become better and better under Han Tong's careful conditioning, but there have been occasional dreams recently, which are related to the former queen mother.

"In a few days, it will be the birth of the Empress Dowager, I have always dreamed of her old man these days, and I think it is lonely under the spring."

Early this morning, Emperor Yun was having breakfast in the Changchun Palace and inadvertently mentioned this matter to Concubine Xian.

"It's just a night's dream, Your Majesty can be relieved." Concubine Xian persuaded her, and then said: "The Empress Dowager has passed away for many years, and Your Majesty does not forget to pay tribute every year, which shows filial piety." ”

Emperor Yun nodded, and suddenly said, "This year's ceremony, the harem will be headed by you." ”

Concubine Xian was stunned when she heard this, put down the silver chopsticks in her hand, and said softly: "According to the courtesy, this matter should be handled by the queen's mother, and in previous years..."

"This time is different from the past," Emperor Yun waved his hand, and a trace of anger appeared between his eyebrows when he mentioned the queen, "The queen is grounded, and there are some things that she is no longer suitable to do." This matter has been decided. ”

Since Emperor Yun said so, Concubine Xian didn't dare to say more, so she could only bow her head and say yes.

After Emperor Yun left Changchun Palace, he slowly walked to the south corner of the Imperial Garden with the support of Gonggong Zheng, and when he was walking aimlessly, he suddenly heard a crisp sound of the piano.

"What a pure sound." Emperor Yun stopped, sighed when he heard it, and his face showed a hint of intoxication, "Is this song the Guangling San played by Ji Kang?" ”

"This..."For Emperor Yun's inquiry, Gonggong Zheng could only laugh a few times, he didn't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and other elegant things, and he had never heard of Guanglingsan.

Emperor Yun looked at his face, couldn't help but snort lightly, and then changed the topic, "On the side of this courtyard wall, where is the place?" ”

"Ah, back to Your Majesty, this is Concubine Rong's Suyin Pavilion."

"Concubine Rong... Yes, in this deep palace, I am afraid that there is no second person besides her who can play such a pleasant tune. ”

"Swing the Suyin Pavilion."

Today, Concubine Rong had nothing to do, playing the piano lightly in the pavilion, but she didn't think that this melodious sound of the piano would lead the emperor over.

"Niangniang, Your Majesty has set up the Suyin Pavilion."

After plucking a string with his fingers, it stopped in mid-air for a long time, and a trace of astonishment appeared on Concubine Rong's usually calm cheeks, Your Majesty, I have been to her Suyin Pavilion for more than a year...

was only stunned for a moment, and Concubine Rong, who had reacted, immediately got up and prepared to greet the holy driver.

"The concubines greet Your Majesty."

"Excuse me, get up."

Emperor Yun's face was gentle, and he gently shook Concubine Rong's right hand to help her up, "I just happened to hear the sound of your piano in the Imperial Garden, so I came to take a look." ”

"Clumsy and clever, disturbing Your Majesty." Concubine Rong bowed slightly, and her voice was a little cautious.

"You're so humble, I like the tunes you play."

"It's okay now, why don't you just make a song for me?"

Hearing Emperor Yun's request, Concubine Rong couldn't suppress the joy on her face, "Your Majesty's order, the concubines should obey it." ”

After turning around and sitting down, Concubine Rong plucked the silk strings lightly with her fingertips, and the melodious music rose again.

From beginning to end, Emperor Yun closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but the corners of his mouth gradually curled up with the sound of the piano.

At the end of the song, Emperor Yun was still immersed in the beautiful melody of Fang Cai and couldn't extricate himself, but Zheng Gonggong beside him said in a very slightful manner, "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Yun glared at him dissatisfied, and then said to Concubine Rong with a smile on his face: "Concubine Ai's piano skills are exquisite, and hearing the sound is like being in a dream, it's really wonderful." ”

"It's just that why does this song sound familiar, did you play it for me before?"

"Your Majesty forgot, when the concubine first entered the palace, she played this song for you."

"Ah, yes, I remember." Emperor Yun slapped his forehead, and his face suddenly appeared, "I didn't expect that after so many years, even Ning'er has grown up now, and we are all old." ”

"Your Majesty is in the prime of spring and autumn, why are you old?"

"Hahaha..." Emperor Yun laughed a few times, did not talk deeply on this topic, and reminisced about the past with Concubine Rong again, and when the two were talking happily, they suddenly heard a report from the inner prison outside the door, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian Niangniang is here." ”

"Oh? What is she here for? Let her in. ”

After Concubine Xian entered the door and finished the salute, she replied softly to Emperor Yun's question: "Your Majesty ordered the concubine to take charge of the first queen mother's birthday, and the concubine was a little too busy, so I specially asked Concubine Rong's sister to help." ”

"That's the case," Emperor Yun looked at Concubine Rong and said with a smile: "It's okay, you have nothing to do in the palace, so it's better to take care of this matter with Concubine Xian." ”

"The concubine obeys."

In the mansion of the Zhenguo Prince, in the west hall, a gray-bearded old man was carefully looking at the map of the situation in the north hanging on the wall, his brows furrowed.

"What kind of fame does this Yan people want to do..."

"Daddy..."

A light call came from behind, Huangfu Tao came back to his senses, turned his head and glanced at his son, "What have you been doing these days?" ”

"Son, I went to Danzhou."

Huangfu Hong didn't dare to deceive, and said truthfully.

"Danzhou... Does that matter to you? ”

"It's... It's a bit related..."Huang Fuhong's words were a little slurred, and then his speed suddenly became faster: "But Dad, this matter is not what you think, it's..."

"You've done a good job."

"Huh?"

Huangfu Tao turned around and said with a straight face: "Get rid of traitors for the country and pull out the tumor for the people, this is what my Huangfu family boy should do." ”

"However," Huangfu Tao's words changed, and his tone became stern again, "After all, my Huangfu family is a general, and what I really have to do is to be iron-blooded on the battlefield, for my father, the burden of the northern border still needs you to provoke." ”

"But look at you all day long, although you have a little talent in martial arts, but if you don't work hard the day after tomorrow, it will be difficult to succeed after all..."

"Okay, Dad, I got it."

Huang Fuhong was one head and two big, and hurriedly interrupted him, for fear that he would continue to nag.

"You have to understand, it's for your own good, in case your father is not there one day, and something happens again in the north, can you control the overall situation?"

"I can't control the overall situation, there are no others, and the imperial court is not just our martial arts..."

"You're still talking back!"

“......”
