This night, Queen Zhou stayed in the Qianqing Palace.

Yuanzhi coaxed her for a long time, and the coaxing was nothing more than those few words-

"Actually, it's not that unpalatable, really, don't you see that the second brother also eats it in one bite?"

"It doesn't matter if you're not good at cooking, it's not necessary to be a queen, I don't mind."

"If you mind learning again in the future, don't rush to ...... at this moment"

Empress Zhou is worthy of being a virtuous and virtuous person, she didn't ask Yuanzhi to coax for a long time, she was all right, but her face was still blushing, "The second brother doesn't say that he is benevolent, and he will fulfill the face of me and the emperor." Although the emperor kept saying that he didn't mind, Concubine Li Xian made a good soup, didn't she capture the emperor's heart......

Speaking of which, Queen Zhou still eats Concubine Li Xian's vinegar a little.

Motoji couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.

Queen Zhou regretted her words and hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, I'm not jealous, I ......"

"It's okay."

Motoji said to her in an extraordinarily gentle voice, "I'm telling you the truth. The dim sum you made today is really not very tasty. Another sentence is also true, I like to see you jealous. ”

Empress Zhou blushed suddenly.

Motoji said that the dim sum she made was not delicious, and it seems that this is indeed the truth.

She was a little excited, and she always felt that jealousy was an act that could not be put on the table, but she didn't expect Yuanzhi to say that she liked it.

"You will be jealous to really care about me, and those women who only care about power positions will not be jealous."

Empress Zhou felt that it made sense when she heard this, and she hurriedly defended herself: "The emperor can rest assured, the concubines are only jealous in their hearts, and they will never behave inappropriately." ”

After thinking about it, she snuggled in Yuanzhi's arms again, "Even if the emperor is happy, the concubines don't dare to eat too much vinegar." It's just a little bit, so as not to bored the emperor. ”

"How so? Yuan Tao has already told me everything. ”

Yuan Zhi told Queen Zhou everything Yuan Tao said when he was playing chess today, and Queen Zhou knew that it was Xue who told Yuan Tao when she heard it, and Yuan Tao would know.

Yuanzhi said: "I am still a little younger, and I don't know how to deal with wives and concubines. You should have told me about this earlier, why didn't you say it when you were depressed in your heart? No wonder I saw that you were in bad spirits a few days ago, and your eyes were blue, and I thought it was for this matter. ”

The words were broken, and Queen Zhou was a little embarrassed.

"It's a small thing in the end," she said. The emperor had crossed Concubine Li Xian before and pampered Zhao Guiren first, and of course she was savvy in her heart. So I was in a hurry, and I didn't hesitate to use the means to compete for favor. ”

"I was also sad before, not only because she used her means to compete for favor, but also because she didn't treat me as a friend. If she directly said the grievances in her heart, wouldn't I persuade the emperor to go to her for her? I took her as a friend, but she used me ......"

Seeing Yuanzhi frowning, Queen Zhou was afraid that her words would not be good for Concubine Li Xian, so she said: "But in the past few days, the princess has helped me beat her, and she is very well-behaved these days, so I think I know that I am wrong." The emperor should not snub her for this matter in the future, and always give her a chance to mend her ways. ”

"Hmm."

Motoji replied lightly and didn't say anything.

Empress Zhou felt that something was wrong, so she moved her head away from his shoulder and looked at him, "What's wrong with the emperor, isn't he happy?" ”

"It's not."

Yuan Zhi said: "I just remembered what happened when I was a child, and I thought of my father's queens and concubines, including my biological mother, as well as Queen Wang, Concubine Hui, Concubine Li Xian, Concubine Yan, Concubine Fang, ......."

Some of these people are still alive, such as Concubine Yan is the current concubine, and this Queen Zhou knows it.

And Concubine Li Xian......

A few days ago, Xue happened to tell her the story of Concubine Li Xian.

"What does the emperor want to do with this?"

Motoji smiled faintly, "When I think of their intrigues, I feel terrible and funny. At that time, I was still very young, because I was the eldest son of the first emperor, and my position was noble, so those concubines were eyeing me. However, my biological mother, that is, the original queen of the first emperor, went early, and I was lonely and unsupported in the harem. ”

"I remember that at that time, the people I came into contact with most often were Queen Wang and Concubine Li Xian, and they were also the two most opposing factions in the harem. Queen Wang is not ordinary to me, just do her duty as a stepmother, and what she loves most is her own third brother. ”

"There is also Concubine Li Xian, she often sends people to the East Fourth Institute, and she likes to talk to people around me, do you know why?"

Empress Zhou heard the story of Concubine Li Xian, so she could naturally guess something, "Presumably she wants to win over the emperor, the eldest son of the first emperor, or is she a smiling tiger, who is good to the emperor on the surface, but in fact, she secretly wants to buy the people around the emperor to spy on you?" ”

"Pretty much guessed."

Motoji smiled, "At that time, I was too young, I didn't have my own ideas, and I was always easy to be led astray. Obviously, the masters say that I am talented and intelligent, but I am just playful and refuse to study hard, so the masters like the second brother the most, and the father also likes the second brother the most. ”

Queen Zhou was a little surprised, and couldn't help but say: "But the concubine remembers that the emperor has been erudite and proficient in the classics since he was a teenager, and his talent is far better than that of the second prince?" ”

"That was later."

Yuan Zhi recalled the past, and the corners of his mouth hooked a very warm smile, "At that time, the queen mother was still a little palace maid, and she was transferred from the Internal Affairs Office to serve me. She is truly knowledgeable, not only is she talented, but she also knows how to teach children. She is neither humble nor arrogant, and every time I do something wrong, she always finds a way to lead me back to the right path. ”

"At that time, I often thought that if my mother was still here, she must be like her. Teach ...... by persuasion"

Queen Zhou was a little sour when she heard this, and unconsciously grabbed Yuanzhi's arm, trying to give him a little more warmth, "No wonder the emperor and the queen mother are not biological mother and son, but the relationship is better than biological one." The concubine is really grateful to the Queen Mother, if it weren't for her love, how could there be the emperor today? ”

Motoji smiled and clapped her hands, "That's true." But you have to know that the harem has never been a clean place, and there are too few people like the queen mother. I saw more intrigues, and even killed people and set fires for the sake of power. ”

"So it's hard to say whether this Concubine Li Xian will change now. As the queen, you naturally want to lead her to the right path, if you can't, then there will be no room for such a person in the palace. ”

Empress Zhou was shocked, but she didn't expect Yuan Zhi to think about it so deeply.

She hurriedly said: "The concubine will definitely teach her well, so that she can keep her duty from now on, please rest assured that the emperor will rest assured." ”
