"Wang Zixuan really said that?"

The walnut held by the Queen Mother in her hand was squeaked and creaked, and the golden step on her head also collided with the shaking frequency of the folds on her face to make a crisp sound, and she sat down with Chu Nian with low eyebrows and lowered eyes, she was recruited by the Queen Mother, and thought that the Queen Mother had something important, but she didn't expect to ask her directly about the palace test, Chu Nian said it truthfully, but the Queen Mother was very angry.

It's not taken for granted, but it's also reasonable, the Queen Mother doesn't believe that Wang Zixuan has been for a long time, especially after Zhuqing lives in the palace, her body has become more and more tough, so she also believes that she will live a hundred years if she eats Zhuqing's pill, and she feels more and more that it is better to hand over the power to Wang Zixuan than to hold it herself; Chu Nian often entered the palace and told the Queen Mother about Wang Zixuan's recent situation, either picking the thorn in the family, or using his power to embezzle how many silver taels, Chu Nian said vaguely, and the Queen Mother listened attentively, but after a few words, the Queen Mother determined early that Wang Zixuan wanted to get rid of the old woman who shared the power with him first.

But she was also jealous, she didn't really believe in Chu Nian from beginning to end, for the superiors, what is the benefit of believing in a smart person too much?

Chu Nian lowered his head, looked at the tea cup in his hand, and acquiesced to the Queen Mother's words.

The queen mother's subordinates threw away the walnuts, "This kid dares to do it, and he openly woos newcomers?" Why didn't he consult with the mourning family beforehand? King Huainan is so eyeing him, how can he fall into the hands of others? ”

The grandmother on the side saw that the Queen Mother was so angry that she couldn't remember to cover it in front of Chu Nian, so she coughed lightly, and the Queen Mother came back to her senses, looked at Chu Nian, who had always sat upright, frowned, and said with a soothing complexion: "Nian'er, you have to understand, now the emperor is still a gentle person, even if he is not a virtuous monarch, he is by no means a cruel person, King Huainan is different, he is a person who dares to poison his brother, this world is handed over to such a cruel person, I am afraid that the people will not live in peace." ”

Chu Nian looked at the Queen Mother talking nonsense, her eyebrows and eyes were faintly raised, in order to seize the throne in ancient times, there were still few people in the royal family who killed their own brothers? said that it is a royal family, but it is just controlled by the general desires of ordinary people, for the sake of power, which of these royal families is not stained with the blood of their relatives? Take the current queen mother as an example, the emperor's harem has three thousand beauties, each of which is inextricably linked with the courtiers, and her queen mother dares to swear to the sky that she has never killed her N more than one emperor and grandson with her own hands because she was worried that the power would fall into the hands of others, leaving only a "fool" Ming Xiu?

Holding these words in the tea, Chu Niancai smiled lightly and said: "Yes, the Queen Mother's thoughts for the sake of the people, the people will definitely know, and they will definitely be grateful to the Queen Mother." ”

Seeing Chu Nian's slightly smiling eyes, she picked up the walnuts, held them in her palm again, and said lightly: "You girl has sharp teeth, I don't know how many people you please." ”

Chu Nian's face did not change, but there was a bit of coldness in his voice, "It's all up to the Queen Mother's wishes." ”

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, and then fully trusted Chu Nian and said slowly: "What else do you know, there is no outsider today, so you will boldly say your speculation, the mourning family has been nested in the deep palace recently, and the news is really closed." ”

"The prime minister is hiding something from everyone, but the king does not trust the courtiers wholeheartedly, and the courtiers only know the skin."

She doesn't need too much trust from the Queen Mother and Wang Zixuan, what she wants is that they are suspicious of each other, nothing else, the character of the Wang family's aunt and nephew, she only needs to say a few words, enough for them to think about it for a long time. And because of Chu Nian's erratic attitude, the Queen Mother and Wang Zixuan only have some trust in Chu Nian, but they get what they want, what Chu Nian wants, they will naturally give it generously in order to win people's hearts, isn't this the name of the unparalleled county lord?

In Chu Nian's opinion, the Queen Mother did not fully trust Wang Zixuan from the beginning, and many times, the Queen Mother was only forced to make Wang Zixuan the head of the Wang family.

The Queen Mother's eyes wavered, "Then tell the mourning family what you know" fur, and the mourning family should look at that kid a little, young, always doing something stupid, just afraid that he will be willful, the situation will be turbulent, and he will be taken advantage of by Xi Chu and the barbarians." ”

The Queen Mother is just afraid that her rights will be hollowed out, and she will be exploited by Xichu and Barbarians, she doesn't want all the things she has gained in the harem in the past few decades to be burned.

Chu Nian sneered in her heart, but she didn't think it was a big deal, she didn't listen to the Queen Mother's sanctimonious words. He took a sip of tea and said: "A few days ago, the Huainan Wangfu went to a few Keqing who knew how to illusion, and the Huainan King took it under his command, and also performed it for the ministers to watch, just looking at the technique, the courtiers didn't think that they were two people who only knew a little bit of fur, maybe it was a big family or a big force...... This reminded the courtiers of the entrustment of the prime minister a long time ago, but after that, something happened one after another, and the courtiers should not be able to take care of it, so it was put on hold for the time being, until the king of Huainan took the courtiers to see the illusion......"

Since the King of Huainan entered Beijing, the Queen Mother sent people to watch the movements of the King of Huainan day and night, naturally she would not know that Chu Nian had been to the Huainan Palace, and she also thought that Chu Nian was betting on the Zhenning Hou Mansion, anyway, Chu Nian did not do anything unfavorable to the Queen Mother and the Wang family, on the contrary, the King of Huainan trusted Chu Nian very much, and Chu Nian secretly reported to the palace, and the Queen Mother acquiesced in Chu Nian's behavior. At this moment, when she heard Chu Nian mention King Huainan, there was no surprise in the empress, as if she had known about these things for a long time.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager did not look unusual, Chu Nian continued: "In the previous dynasty, there was a force in Western Chu that almost occupied the entire Western Chu Palace, and the Queen Mother should know about it. ”

The Queen Mother frowned, and the walnut in her hand rolled uneasily: "It's Qinghe, Wang Zixuan asked you to look for Qinghe?" ”

Chu Nian nodded: "The Prime Minister seems to be very interested in Na Qinghe, and the little girl started to check a little, but at first, Na Qinghe's token was obtained from the gang of gang dealers who caught it before, and the gang of gang dealers was extremely arrogant at that time, and the courtiers thought it was because they had a lot of connections with the powerful people in Beijing, but now it seems that it is because they have something to do with Na Qinghe, so they have nothing to fear." ”

The Queen Mother lowered her eyes thoughtfully, the walnuts in her hand rolled more and more intensely, Chu Nian raised her eyebrows, waiting for the Queen Mother's reply, and after a while, the Queen Mother raised her head and said solemnly: "If Wang Zixuan has anything to do with this organization, you will come to report to the mourning family immediately, this matter is related to the Great Liang River, and you must not be neglected." ”

Chu Nian lowered his eyes, but there was a sneer in his heart, afraid that he would ruin the Great Liang River? What you are afraid of is Qinghe's ability, such an illusion organization, although it does not have any direct attack power, but it is definitely enough to subvert this Great Liang Dynasty, no matter who is the emperor among the people, Antai is good, but the Queen Mother is different, the Great Liang River has changed hands, and she really has nothing.

"By the way, there's also King Huainan's side." The Queen Mother looked at Chu Nian condescendingly, "You should know how to deal with it, now the Wang family has been removed from the qualification by Wang Zixuan, but the one from the Huainan Wang family is still well kept, the mourning family doesn't know what hole cards he has, before the results of the palace test come down, you should pay attention to it." ”

The Queen Mother paused, her eyes looked at Chu Nian intently, "Do you know who gave everything now." ”

Chu Nian smiled lightly, "The courtiers naturally know that it was the Queen Mother who gave everything to the Marquis of Zhenning, and the courtiers should be the Queen Mother." ”

She expressed her loyalty for the first time, even if the Queen Mother didn't fully believe it, she was very appreciative, and nodded slowly before saying: "Now that the Wang family's hole cards are gone, your people are left." ”

Chu Nian understood the deep meaning of the Queen Mother's words, and said with a meaningful smile: "The Queen Mother can rest assured that the person chosen by the courtiers is absolutely loyal to the courtiers." ”

The man I have chosen is absolutely faithful to me. And my faithful one...... The Queen Mother pondered for a while, waved her hand and said, "The mourning family is old, and I can't care about your juniors." ”

Since you are so confident, then everything is left to you.

Chu Nian lowered his eyes and answered "yes", the Queen Mother said that she was tired and chased away the guests, Chu Nian then lowered her head and retreated, out of Cining Palace, but just met Ming Xiu who led the guards to the imperial garden, between the two looking at each other, Ming Xiu blinked mischievously, and saw Chu Nian glancing at him with disgust, Ming Xiu had to turn his head and pretend not to see her.

The guards on the side didn't notice the interaction between the two, but they felt that it was really helpless to go out with the foolish prince, hoping that the prince would be tired of playing sooner, and he would go back to eat and drink with his brothers. At this time, a flamboyantly dressed woman came to her, her face was heavily powdered, her head was mixed with many hairpins, and she was wearing a bright red robe on a hot day, with a green lining inside, and her red lips were charming.

Ming Xiu stubbornly walked backwards, and the woman was taking a peach blossom from what she thought was beautiful, but she was hit by Ming Xiu, and the golden hairpin on her head was suddenly scattered.

Seeing this, Ming Xiucai looked at the embarrassed woman and laughed endlessly.

Chu Nian heard the movement here, and the figure that was originally walking to the depths of the imperial garden paused behind the rockery, and then heard the woman say angrily: "What are you doing!" Don't you have long eyes when you walk? ”

Ming Xiu's half-playful and half-stubborn voice came from the other side, "Isn't this a dyed bamboo tube?" ”

The woman was so angry with Ming Xiu that she couldn't help the identity of the other party, but he didn't necessarily understand when she scolded him, as long as she didn't do anything.

"Brother Huang is starting to be naughty again, but it's okay, what do I have to worry about you as a fool."

Hearing this, Chu Nian already knew who was coming. There are no other princes in the harem except for the crown prince Ming Xiu, and the queen mother does not allow the concubines who are stuffed in by other official eunuchs to give birth to princes who cannot be controlled by them, so this harem has only a few princesses under the operation of the queen mother.

And there is a difference between the princess and the princess, occasionally there are a few because the mother family is powerful, even the queen mother has to give a little thin face, and she is spoiled by her mother and becomes a pampered character, among which there is a princess who can be said to be one of the myths - the appearance is extremely ugly, and she thinks she is beautiful and moving, and her dressing taste is not guided, all by her own will, especially love red and green, and she can often see "red with green" on her, but because her mother is a household book, and her grandmother is the eldest princess of Xichu, she is more and more arrogant, Unless her mother Concubine Jin made a mouth, she was a little more restrained, but many years ago, Concubine Jin went to the Qingshan Temple on the outskirts of the city to worship the Buddha on the grounds of her father's death.

Ming Xiu's somewhat innocent voice came from that side, "Are you the lonely imperial sister?" Everyone says that Lone is a fool, why does Lone think you are more stupid than Lone? ”

"You ......" the fifth princess angrily pointed at Ming Xiu's nose, "You waste!" Don't think I dare hit you! ”

Chu Nian was interested when he heard it, could it be that these five princesses were really as bold and reckless as rumored, and even Ming Xiu, who was carefully protected by the Queen Mother, dared to fight? Then she really has a character.
