Mrs. Yu's face was gloomy and she didn't say a word.

Princess Changping knew something was wrong at a glance, and asked again with some uncertainty: "The queen mother, the poisonous wine that the vassal kings drink, is it the queen mother's ......?"

Empress Dowager Yu glared.

Princess Changping glared back at all the remaining words.

"These sinister and cunning bastards!" Empress Dowager Yu gritted her teeth and said angrily: "It's too bastard, it's shameless!" actually deducted this black pot on the head of the mourning family! ”

It's just a black pot, and the most infuriating thing is that there is no way to refute it.

You must know that the new emperor did not say it directly, but only hinted at a few vague words. As for the rumors outside the palace, what the civil and military officials will think of it, they can't blame the new emperor!

Empress Dowager Yu had never suffered such a loss in her life, and the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and said with a sneer: "He thought that his wings were stiff, and he used this matter to compete with the mourning family." ”

"The canonization ceremony of the queen of the Xie family has not yet been held, and the mourning family wants to see how long the emperor can endure before bowing his head!"

Empress Dowager Yu used this trick to deal with Emperor Jian'an that year, and the effect was excellent. Why not use it now?

Princess Changping naturally stood firmly on the side of the Empress Dowager Yu: "What the Queen Mother said is true. The affairs of the harem are all decided by the queen mother. Xie wants to be the queen of the Middle Palace, and some of them wait. ”

Empress Dowager Yu's sullenness dissipated slightly, her eyes swept over Princess Changping's face, and she suddenly said, "Changping, you and Gu Qing are not small. Jin'er is also approaching the age of marriage. ”

"There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is greater. Gu Qing is the eldest son of the Gu family, and he has never had an heir, which is a pity. After you go back, you pick a young and beautiful person around you and serve Gu Qing's pillow seat. gave birth to a son for Gu Qing. ”

Princess Changping: "......"

Princess Changping never expected that one day she would hear such words from the mouth of the Empress Dowager Yu. For a while, his face was full of shock and he looked at Empress Dowager Yu blankly.

She suddenly realized that she hadn't looked at Empress Dowager Yu carefully for a long time.

When did the familiar firm, gentle and wise face begin to change into the shrewd, sharp and unfathomable appearance in front of him?

Empress Dowager Yu's expression was as usual, as if what she had just said was just a trivial matter: "As a mother-in-law, you can raise your concubine under your knees." The Gu family will definitely be grateful to you for this. Gu Qing will also treat you better because of guilt. ”

"The mourners will not hide it from you. There are not many officials in the mourning family in the court. The civilian, military and military generals are all loyal to the Son of Heaven. As the queen mother, the mourning family wants to meddle in the affairs of the court, which is inconvenient. In addition to the Yu family, the mourning family also needs the support of the Gu family. ”

"Now the Xiao family and the Xie family breathe out of one nostril, if the Xiao family takes the initiative to play the fold, please ask the new emperor to carry out the canonization ceremony. The mourners will fall into passivity. ”

Therefore, in order to win over the Gu family, Empress Dowager Yu put forward a "suggestion" for Gu Qing to take a concubine.

Princess Changping's heart was cold.

After a long time, Princess Changping opened her mouth:

"Queen Mother, you said before that I am the most noble princess of Daqi, and I am also the only woman in the world. I can be willful, I can be domineering, I can be selfish, I don't have to be prejudiced by the world. In this life, I can live as I want. Brother Qing is dedicated to me, and he can only be dedicated to me. ”

"Now, just to get the support of the Gu family, do you have to sacrifice my happiness?"

Princess Changping's eyes flashed with water, and her choked voice gradually rose: "No, I don't want to!" ”

A hint of annoyance flashed on Empress Dowager Yu's face.

She was accustomed to commanding from above, to being obeyed by her commands. Even if her daughter spoke against her, she was very unhappy in her heart.

"Changping," Empress Dowager Yu's voice was a little sternerd: "The current situation is not good for the mourning family, and it is also unfavorable for you." A slight concession can be exchanged for the full support of the Gu family, which is a very cost-effective matter......"

Before she finished speaking, Princess Changping turned around and left.

Empress Dowager Yu was so angry that her face was blue, and her chest rose and fell.

After a while, Empress Dowager Yu called Zhilan Yuqiao: "Zhilan, you go and pick two beautiful and gentle palace maids and send them to Princess Changping's mansion." It is said that the mourning family gave it to the horse. ”

"Yu Qiao, you go to the Gu Mansion and pass on the message for the mourning family. Ordered Mrs. Gu to enter the palace tomorrow to meet her. ”

Zhilan and Yuqiao were all taken aback by Empress Dowager Yu's sudden order, looked at each other, and did not respond for a while.

Empress Dowager Yu was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, and at this time, her eyes suddenly burst into sparks: "Did you two hear what the mourning family said?" ”

Zhilan and Yuqiao had no choice but to retreat.

After walking out for a while and making sure that the Empress Dowager Yu couldn't hear her voice, Yu Qiao lowered her voice and said, "The Empress Dowager has been getting more and more irritable and irritable recently. ”

Isn't it?

Zhilan was concerned, and said in a low voice: "In the past, the emperor and the queen were respectful to the queen mother, and they didn't dare to be disrespectful. Now that His Royal Highness the King of Shu sits on the dragon chair, he and the Queen Mother are not of the same mind at all. It is not easy for the Queen Mother to hold the current emperor and queen. ”

Yu Qiao sighed lightly: "This is just the beginning. In my opinion, I don't know how much more chaos will be made in the future. ”

"Shhhh The two of us can't control these things, just act honestly. ”

The two whispered a few words, and soon each of them stopped talking.

……

In the evening of the same day, the palace maid rewarded by the Empress Dowager Yu was sent to the Changping Princess Mansion.

These two palace maids are both eighteen or nineteen years old, one is fair-skinned and elegant, and the other is slender and charming. The two palace maids are in full bloom, and when they go there lively, they are like two flowers.

In contrast, Princess Changping, who was over thirty years old with anger and anger on her face, was set off by two flowers, and suddenly became a remnant flower that was about to wither and decay.

Princess Changping was so angry that there was sparks in her eyes, and she opened her mouth and scolded angrily: "Get out!" Roll out of where you come from! ”

The two young and beautiful palace maids were scolded so that tears rippled from their eyes, and they knelt on the ground and cried and begged: "Her Royal Highness the princess spares the slave maid!" ”

"The slave maid was ordered by the Queen Mother to come to serve the concubine. If she is sent back to the palace by Her Royal Highness the Princess, I am afraid that I will not see the sun tomorrow! ”

"Ask Her Royal Highness the princess to give the slave a way to live."

"The slave and maid are willing to repay each other with a straw rank."

Princess Changping wanted to scold angrily, but was stopped by Gu Qing: "Don't be annoyed, princess!" I'll leave this matter to me. ”

Princess Changping was angry, and she didn't have a good voice towards Gu Qing, and said with a sneer: "You tell me, what are you going to do with these two young and delicate beauties?" How about sending this pair of beauties into your study to serve the pen and ink according to the mother's wishes, and give you a red sleeve to add fragrance? ”

Gu Qing smiled helplessly: "I have been married to the princess for more than ten years, my heart for the princess, isn't the princess still clear?" ”

Princess Changping still wanted to lose her temper, but for some reason, her nose suddenly became sore, and tears rushed out of her eyes.
