In the Dong family in the south of the Yangtze River, the eldest lady Yang is talking to her and her baby daughter in a deep voice.

But...... This daughter is clearly not interested in her words.

"I said Xiu'er, you just go to the palace, maybe you can be a concubine and come back to glorify your ancestors!" The eldest lady Yang said.

"Heh, mother is not afraid that I will provoke the nobles and end up with the Nine Clans?" Dong Wenxiu said coldly.

The eldest lady Yang quickly covered her mouth and said, "Bah, what are you talking about bad luck, you are a noble girl!" Everything has to be thought of for the better! ”

The corners of Dong Wenxiu's mouth twitched, she straightened her body and straightened her waist again.

"Ahem, I'm a noble girl!" She said softly, and after a while, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Be serious!" The eldest lady Yang scolded with a smile.

"Seriously, doesn't my mother want to embroider gentleness? You have to learn to get ahead! ”

Yang was speechless, she just looked at this precious daughter.

"Mother, why did you sign me up for that draft, you know that I hate doing this kind of thing the most!" Dong Wenxiu said complainingly.

"Xiu'er! Mother is also forced to be helpless! Yang said with a sigh.

"Forced to be helpless? Isn't it that those little little hoof aunts are chewing on the root of their tongues again, see if I don't pull out their skins! ”

"What kind of skin do you think it's corn! Also peel the skin! Yang glanced at his daughter helplessly and said.

"Who's that? Could it be that there is anyone in this house who is more horizontal than me? ”

Dong Wenxiu can't think of a reason for it, who is so bold?

"Don't think about it! It's me! Yang said unhurriedly.

"What! You! Mother? ”

Dong Wen's embroidery was messy, she never expected her mother to push her in.

"Mother...... Am I not your own? Dong Wenxiu asked in surprise.

Yang pinched her face and said, "It's all about thinking!" Mother, just your brother and your two children, who else are you not biological? ”

"Woooooooooo......oo Then why did my mother let me enter the palace! Dong Wenxiu asked coquettishly.

"It's not for your own good!"

"Cut! Is it for my good to send me in and be a stepping stone for someone? Could it be that our Dong family can't afford to support me as a young lady? ”

Dong Wenxiu's tone was a little excited, she didn't dare to imagine how ruthless her mother had to be to be willing to send herself in.

Who knows, Yang just patted the back of her hand, and the hot palm slid over Dong Wenxiu's skin.

It's a little rough, and it's a little awkward.

"Xiu'er, you listen to your mother."

"Oh...... Mother, you say, I didn't stop you. ”

Dong Wenxiu was a little unkind, which made Yang, who had always loved her, a little disappointed.

"Xiu'er, my mother is also forced to do so."

"Mmmmmmmm, you are forced to do so, I am forced to be helpless."

"You!"

"Huh!"

Dong Wenxiu also lost her temper, she didn't expect that this mother really had some big secret to bear to push herself out.

Yang touched her bright face, and Dong Wenxiu couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.

"Alright, I'll go back first."

Dong Wenxiu left without looking back, and bumped into his brother who happened to come in as soon as he went out.

"Sister?"

Dong Wenxiu ignored him, but walked directly past him.

"I've seen my mother in one chapter!"

"Zhang'er is here, come and sit down!" Yang laughed.

This is Dong Wenxiu's brother Dong Yizhang, this person is almost the kind of person who belongs to both civil and military affairs, but he has not yet been married, and many women in the south of the Yangtze River admire him.

"Xiu'er, what's wrong? Looking at that face, I jumped a little. Dong Yizhang asked.

"Alas! Your sister is going to the palace. ”

"What!" Dong Yizhang slapped the table, obviously he couldn't accept this fact, that was his little sister, how could she be sent to the palace!

"In one chapter, you listen to your mother, and your mother is also in trouble!"

"Mother, please speak."

"Alas, if Xiu'er doesn't enter the palace, then she can only marry the second son of the Bai family."

"What, why marry him?"

cough cough, introduce the second son of the Bai family, this person can be said to be proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and he is also "famous" in Jiangnan.

The people who mentioned him all frowned, so that they could know how bad this person was.

Twilight Rain had also crossed paths with this second son of the Bai family before...... cough cough, the second son of the Bai family bullied Ling Gongzi that day, and when Duyu Lu saw the injustice, he decisively pulled out a knife to help, and a pack of cartilage scattered made him collapse to the ground, and it was useless to let him wail for a long time.

And...... The so-called second son of the Bai family is named Bai Jin, and he also has a hind leg minion named Wangcai, and the two often appear together, wandering around the Jiangnan Street here.

Although there was no burning, killing and looting, the man also had the ability to dislike people.

Now I heard that my sister is going to marry him...... Ahem, seriously, let's let my sister go to the palace.

With this little overlord, wouldn't he ruin the happiness of his sister in the second half of her life?

Dong Yizhang also deeply understands his mother's hardships, but he is very curious, when did his sister have a marriage contract?

"Mother, sister's marriage contract?"

Dong Yizhang wanted to speak and stopped, but he still didn't know what to say or how to speak.

Yang sighed and said: "The two of them were still dolls that day, and the second son of the Bai family was also quite cute, but he said it casually, and he never thought that the lady of the Bai family would take it seriously." ”

"It's child's play." Dong Yizhang also felt that something was wrong.

"Yes, but the Bai family has a big business, and our Dong family is still inferior, so we can't fight!"

"What a good thing that is!"

"Thinking about it, instead of following that bully, it is better to let Xiu'er enter the palace, and maybe life will be better when you enter the palace!"

Dong Yizhang also nodded and said, "Mother, or I will go and explain everything to my sister." ”

"Don't go!"

"Why? Is there anything unspeakable about my mother? Dong Yizhang asked.

"Alas...... With Xiu'er's temper, she must beat up the second son of the Bai family, and talk to her when she is calmer in the future. ”

Dong Yizhang thinks about it, his sister is also very bluffing when she starts her temper, and she may be quieter when she enters the palace.

Besides, they don't care about this platinum boy, in order to prevent my sister from marrying you, we will do everything.

The style of painting changed, and he came to the palace where everyone was in awe.

In the past few days, Empress Li Shujun has obviously often run to this Palace of Eternal Life, and she has been there for half a day. Sometimes I don't come out until midnight.

In a certain pavilion, several concubines were drinking tea and chatting.

A woman dressed in a goose-yellow velvet palace dress spoke: "I heard that the queen has been favored recently!" ”

The Kou Dan in her hand is very good-looking, and it makes this jade hand even more white.

"Yo, Concubine Jing is jealous!" Another woman laughed.

"I don't have it, Concubine Lan, don't talk nonsense."

"It's nonsense, but it's not up to me to make the final say, do you say it?"

Everyone laughed, and this Concubine Jing pouted and was very dissatisfied.

"Okay, okay, the two sisters don't say a word, don't hurt the harmony!"

"That's what my sister said."

This peacemaker is Concubine Shu, who is highly respected by the palace people for her virtuous and virtuous virtues.

Because she entered the palace early, this son is also a little taller than Concubine Lan and Concubine Jing just now.

These two concubines entered the palace two years ago, relying on their youth and beauty, and wanted to get a piece of the pie in this palace, so they were very jealous of the queen in the palace.

Concubine Shu is not so idle, she doesn't go to her heart at all, because she knows that there are many women in this palace, and it is already precious to be able to hold the current position.

Don't say it, there is still a Ling Guifei in this palace, but she often doesn't come out, and there is another one is Hui Guifei, this person is even more skillful, and I heard that she is the queen's cousin.

To put it bluntly, this concubine Hui's maiden family is kind to the queen, so she stepped on her nose and face.

They were discussing why this queen wanted to go to the Hall of Eternal Life every day. Could it be that Your Majesty is blind? Do you want her to serve alone?

A few people didn't dare to talk loudly anymore, for fear that they would be dragged down and beaten by Li Shujun as soon as they appeared.

I heard that one night, the queen passed by the imperial garden and saw a few show girls chattering and arguing, so she asked people to drag them down to play the board...... What kind of fire did you eat?

In the Hall of Eternal Life, Li Shujun was dressed in a dark blue robe, which also lined out the snow-white skin.

She was now reading the recital on the dragon chair, and the emperor was lying next to her.

"But tired? Shujun will have a cup of tea and rest first. The emperor spoke, his tone was full of gentleness, less of the majesty of the emperor in the past, and sounded soft and warm.

"Good!"

Li Shujun didn't want him to worry, so he directly poured a few sips and continued to review the folds. She looked intently at the documents given by the ministers, and she was also thinking hard about whether she should approve it or not, and what the solution would be if she didn't approve it.

Because it was the emperor's last days, she also tried not to let herself show sadness, she just sat lightly, as if nothing had happened.

The emperor also tacitly understood this, he understood Li Shujun's intentions, so he also drank medicine obediently.

How long can he continue with the medicine when he is already terminally ill? He could count them on his fingers.

"Lord Shangshu is still vacant, and the ministers strongly recommend Beigongyu, the squire of the military department, as the new Shangshu, the emperor, this ...... But what's wrong? Li Shujun asked.

The emperor looked at her side face and only thought that her frowning look was very good-looking and serious.

"Beigong Yu is still young, but he has been supported by the ministers, which shows that this person's strength is extraordinary." The Emperor said slowly.

"But Zhiyuan...... I'm a little worried, but the most taboo thing for officials is to collude with their henchmen. ”

"Shujun, don't be afraid, this person is upright, and I may be able to wish you a helping hand in the future."

"That's good! Approved! ”

"The original Shangshu Dai Cheng Ming has been relegated to Lingnan, maybe he can think about it there."

"The concubine doesn't understand, why is she in such a hurry to get him away?"

"As soon as he is in the court, the forces in this court will not be able to be balanced, Shujun, you must understand this way of checks and balances in the future!"

"But because he's with the Five Princes?"

"Not only this, he also has two daughters, if one of them marries into the royal family, then this power will definitely fall to his side, and then there will inevitably be people among the ministers who will move closer to him, then the situation in the DPRK and China may change greatly."

Li Shujun nodded, it turned out that governing the country and the world was also a university question, and she couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she looked at this haggard emperor.

The worries of the day made him look tired, and the mountains of twists and turns weighed him down.

Li Shujun put aside the corrected recitals, and she would occasionally ask for his opinion, and he would patiently explain to her how to approve it and why it was this way.

Li Shujun was already talented and intelligent, and the emperor didn't say it for long, she slowly comprehended it, and remembered it very well.
