The queen waited for the lady to reply.

So after sending Dongyu away, the female official hurriedly returned to the main hall.

The queen mother leaned on the phoenix collapse, a little powerless to support her head. Although she was seeing her sister, she was not very happy, but very tired.

Lately, she has become less and less fond of coping.

She likes the accommodation of others more and more, and she also likes the flattery of others more and more. What she used to hate doing so much, she now likes it.

But whether it is Xue Dongyu, the wife of Sheng Xiuyi, or in front of her own sister Xue Dongyu, the Duchess of Shan Guo, the queen mother does not want to make herself look very strong.

Dongyu is second, and the queen mother cares most about the Duchess of Shan Guo. In the future, my mother will be old, and she will leave the world one step ahead of her, and maybe the only one she can be close to and talk to when she is tired is her own sister. The queen didn't want to block the back road.

Although she was reluctant, she cheered up.

At this moment, she didn't smile anymore, and asked the female officer coldly how she was.

"When the county lord of Roujia left, Concubine Shuniang said something to her, and she probably understood." The female official said in a low voice, "Niangniang, Concubine Shu has always been smart, even if the county lord of Roujia doesn't understand, Concubine Shu must understand." She was already reminding the Lord of Roujia. ”

The queen listened and bowed her head with satisfaction: "At that time, the family said that a sister would be sent into the palace, and the palace didn't like it either. I'm afraid that it is a person who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures. But grandmother has such good eyesight that she sent Concubine Shu in. She did save a lot of trouble for the palace. is another aunt who has a room, and Xue Ziming treats her badly, she can only be loyal......"

As he spoke, a satisfied smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.

For Xue Dongshu, the queen mother is not only satisfied with her heartheart, but also satisfied with her wit and means. I am more satisfied with her calmness and intelligence. The emperor loves her so much, she doesn't dare to stand on the emperor's side, but has always relied on the queen.

Whatever happened, she would tell the queen first.

She knows. The emperor's favor may be replaced one day, but the empress's trust can save her life and let her live. She didn't think about it, thinking that she could ascend to heaven in one step by virtue of the emperor's liking.

Smart and heartfelt. and know current affairs, such a person is liked by any person in a higher position.

Besides, this person is still the queen's own sister.

"Concubine Shu has never had a second heart for her mother." The female officer helped to lift Xue Shufei.

The queen smiled slightly, she believed this. Because Xue Shufei has no second choice, she can only be heartfelt. She paused, and then asked the female officer, "What about the lord of Roujia?" ”

"The slave maid thinks that the lord of Roujia also understands Niangniang's words." The woman said. "Lord Roujia doesn't know that today is Niangniang's birthday, and he hasn't prepared a gift. When the slave asked someone to give her the brocade box, she accepted it without looking back, and then naturally gave it to the mother. The slave and maid watched from the sidelines, and the lord of Roujia was thoughtful and did not show it, and she was an amazing woman. ”

The queen smiled again: "No wonder grandmother likes her." None of these sisters in our family are going to cause trouble. Hongu was very pleased...... She understands best. Now the Sheng family has nothing to rely on except for Sheng Xiuyi. Will Sheng Xiuyi stand on the side of the palace? ”

"Naturally." The female official said, "Niangniang and the prince are good." The Xue family will be better, and the Lord of Roujia will be better. Doesn't Sheng Xiuyi want the Xue family's help? He is now the most trusted person of the crown prince, and he will definitely rise to prominence in the future. But his foundation is unstable. With the help of the Xue family and Niangniang, his future is limitless. If Sheng Xiuyi wasn't stupid, he would naturally stand on Niangniang's side......"

The queen mother listened and breathed a sigh of relief.

The words analyzed by this female official were all what she thought in her heart. But she was always afraid that she didn't have to think it through. When she heard the words of the most powerful female officer around her say the same thing as herself, she was sure that she had done nothing wrong.

The queen mother is a good woman from the prince's mansion.

She knows how difficult it is to go from crown prince to emperor.

Although the current prince will not be threatened by a powerful brother, the queen is still a soldier, and hopes that the prince can go all the way.

As for the crown princess. It must be her niece.

The queen didn't want a woman to take her daughter and share her power. She didn't have the full love of her husband, so she needed full power to take control. She would never hand over the palm print of the harem to a strange woman.

For Xue Fengrui, the eldest granddaughter of the Xue family, the queen mother is not sure what kind of character she is.

But she knew her brother well.

Her eldest brother Xue Huajing was a gentle and generous person, and he heard that his wife was also well-behaved and obedient. Then their daughter will naturally not be a tricky and spicy person. Such a niece is easy to control. The queen needs such a daughter-in-law.

And the other two candidates, one is the granddaughter of Princess Wenjing.

The character of the eldest princess Wenjing who sees the wind and makes the rudder, the queen looks down on her, what kind of temperament can her granddaughter have?

Another virtuous name is out there. Since he has had a good name since he was a child, he is afraid that he will be held in his hands, whether he is a smart and knowledgeable person about current affairs, the queen mother does not know. She didn't want to take a risk.

"If this palace is not afraid of the infamy of the inner palace as a politician, he will go to Sheng Xiuyi and talk to him." The queen mother murmured, "If Rou Jia didn't understand, wouldn't it be in vain to think about this palace?" ”

As she spoke, she closed her eyes slightly.

She wasn't asking anyone's words, she was muttering to herself.

Regarding the prince's choice of concubines, the queen has always been at ease.

——*——*——*——

When Dong Ying walked out of the Donghua Gate of the Forbidden Palace, he saw that next to his carriage, in addition to Orange Hong and the coachman, there was also a blue-gray long figure.

He didn't look around like Orange Red, nor did he stomp his hands and feet to keep out the cold like the coachman, but stood straight, looking in the direction of Donghua Gate, and couldn't take his eyes off it.

Seeing Dong Yu come out, his gaze instantly softened.

Orange red only then saw Dong Ying, and hurriedly greeted him, helping Dong Ying to go back.

"Why are you here?" Dong Ying asked Sheng Xiuyi.

Sheng Xiuyi said: "Let's talk about it when we get in the car." Aren't you cold? ”

The cold wind blows on the face, and it hurts like a knife, how can it not be cold? Dong Ying felt like her cheeks were about to get frostbitten.

She got into the carriage.

Sheng Xiuyi also got into Dongyi's carriage.

And Orange Red got into the carriage that Sheng Xiuyi was riding.

"What did the queen mother declare to you?" Sheng Xiuyi asked. Seeing that Dongyu was looking for the copper hand stove, he picked it up casually and handed it to her, but found that the hand stove was cold and the charcoal had already burned out.

Orange Red was only worried about Dongyu, and forgot to add charcoal to the hand stove.

Sheng Xiuyi held Dongyi's cold hand in the palm of his hand.

The carriage rolled, and Dongyi's whole person was planted in his arms.

"I haven't said why you're here." Dongyu smiled and said, "Didn't I ask you first?" ”

Sheng Xiuyi laughed, put her hand on her chest, and let her keep warm, and then said, "I went back early today, and I heard that you entered the palace, so I came to pick you up." ”

Are you afraid of Emperor Yuanchang......

Dongyu didn't dare to ask, and said with a smile: "Today is the queen's birthday, so I called a few of our sisters to celebrate her birthday, and there was nothing wrong." ”

Sheng Xiuyi looked at her.

"It's true." Seeing his suspicious eyes, Dong Yu said with certainty, "What did I lie to you about?" ”

"That's the only thing?" Sheng Xiuyi's voice lowered.

Dong Yu paused, and told Sheng Xiuyi the words of the queen's mother.

"She can't say anything about the prince's choice of concubine. But who is not afraid that her son will not be able to choose a lovely person? I kind of understand her. In the future, our brother Cheng will marry a wife, can I trust it to you? Dongyu deliberately said very easily, "My niece's niece is called Sister Rui, and my mother has taken a fancy to her." ”

Sheng Xiuyi's face sank slightly.

Dongyu didn't ask any more.

She knew that if Xue Fengrui could be successfully elected, the queen would not look for Dongyu. She looked for Dong Yuan, and she never promised Dong Ying benefits, this was telling Dong Yuan: she was not begging Xue Dong Yuan and Sheng Xiuyi, but giving them the opportunity to stand in line.

If you are willing to choose the queen's side, you will help the queen achieve her wishes.

If you stand on the emperor's side, you will wait for the emperor to settle accounts after his death.

In addition, Dongyu once had an ambiguous relationship with Emperor Yuanchang, and the queen also pulled the line for Dongyuan once, and she knew best.

She wants to take revenge on the Sheng family and Dongyi, and she has many means.

Dong Ying remembered how the Empress Dowager had rectified the maiden family of the emperor's favorite concubine.

The queen may be afraid of grandfathers and grandmothers. But when her grandfather and grandmother are gone, she will definitely be unfavorable to Dongyu.

The Sheng family is no longer qualified to fight with the queen now.

Dong Yu was afraid that Sheng Xiuyi would say other reasons.

The battle in the court has always been cruel, and Dong Yu doesn't know which side Sheng Xiuyi has been standing on. But let him take refuge in the inner palace, will he feel very faceless? In the future, he will be a very popular minister, will he be afraid that others will say that he has no ability, and he just started by relying on the queen mother?

The attacks of political opponents have always been vicious.

So Dong Ying didn't say anything more. She didn't want to force Sheng Xiuyi to choose, but told him the facts. The matter of Dongyi, Sheng Xiuyi is even clearer.

What she can think of, Sheng Xiuyi can think of too.

If he is willing to defend her, he will naturally think for her; If he can't, it's his last resort.

Why bother to say more, to trouble him?

"I see." Sheng Xiuyi said after a while, "Next time Niangniang announces that you will enter the palace again, you will clearly tell Niangniang, I know what Niangniang means, let Niangniang rest assured." ”

Dong Yu was slightly surprised, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at him.

Didn't you have a cold face just now?

How can you answer so happily now?

"Isn't it difficult?" Dongyu asked. After asking, I felt that I was hypocritical. Obviously, she wanted Sheng Xiuyi to do this, but she still asked.

"No, it won't." Sheng Xiuyi laughed at this time, clasped her hands tightly on her chest, and asked her instead, "Are you still cold?" ”

Although there is one more to compensate for yesterday, but absolutely, this is the third watch, and I want to continue pink
