Since the king of Chu and the king of Runan led troops into the court, the situation in the court has become very delicate. Everyone was watching and waiting—maybe they were talking about it behind their backs, but in the courtroom, everyone kept it secret, and tried to avoid mentioning it as much as possible.

It's like on the eve of a storm, and even the air is a little suffocating.

The Yang family is in the heart of the storm, so they are naturally more sensitive than others. After Yang Ji and Yang Jun showed their faces in my Mingguang Palace, the rest of the Yang family also began to appear on the scene, running towards my Mingguang Hall one after another.

This is the way of the world. Of course, your opponent will try to suppress you in any way possible at first, and even do everything they can to sarcastically insult you. But if you grit your teeth and get through, they'll look at you with admiration. The stronger you are, the softer they become. In the end, seeing that the general trend has gone, I have to change to a flattering face, and in turn to please you and slap you.

Seeing that the kings of the clan were pressing the realm, the emperor's attitude was ambiguous, and he no longer had Yang Jun obeying everything as before. The men of the Yang family couldn't stand it, and there began to be a trend of division and disintegration inside. The women of the Yang family, naturally, let alone that. The so-called loss of both losses, and the prosperity of others. They are grasshoppers on a straw rope, and when there is a little wind and grass, everyone will get nervous. No, even Yang Zhi, who used to be indispensable, set up the queen mother every day, and even had to send an edict to call the emperor over when he saw the emperor, is now also on the verge of cheapness, and personally came to my Mingguang Palace.

Yang Zhi is actually two years younger than me, one year younger than the emperor, and now she is only in her early twenties. She was just a young girl who lost her husband, but she was pushed to such an unattainable position as the queen mother by her father Yang Jun.

In the early period of Yang Jun's usurpation of power, he knew what he had done that made the government and the opposition look sideways. Afraid that the courtiers would not listen to him. Therefore, whenever there is any important movement, I have read it first, and I have seen it for the emperor. Then he went to show it to the Queen Mother, or claimed that he had shown it to the Queen Mother. Take the Queen Mother as a guise all day long. At every turn, it was said that it was the queen mother's decree, and the queen mother was moved out to oppress people.

When he did this, the courtiers were hindered by the state system, and the queen mother was on the throne, so it was difficult to say anything on the surface. Which one in my heart will really be convinced? Who isn't talking behind the scenes, saying the so-called "Queen Mother's Decree" as a joke? Yang Zhi is a young girl who has been raised in the deep palace since she was a child, what will she watch? What is her purpose? It's just Yang Jun talking to himself, singing a one-man show.

Yang Zhi, in fact, is the same as the emperor, and has the fastest update.

Even, from the very beginning, she was just a chess piece and a tool of the Yang family. The Yang family used their daughter's beauty in exchange for everything. As for whether they are happy or not, it is not in their consideration at all. Yang Zhi was sent to the palace by her family at the age of ten, and was gnawed by the emperor before she was fourteen years old. She became a widow in her early twenties, and then became a surviving person in the deep palace. Even if nominally noble. But. What does all this mean for a young woman?

And now. Even this nominal dignity was about to be overwhelmed, so she panicked.

After the emperor went up to the morning court, I was sitting in the small pavilion outside the Mingguang Palace, watching meow and little butterflies playing in the flowers. Suddenly, a large group of people came outside the palace gate.

Such a pomp and circumstance must not be an ordinary character, so I quickly stood up and greeted the door. It was actually the Empress Dowager Yang Zhi who led Yunluo, Fluttershy, and a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy to come.

As soon as I saw that young man, I understood in my heart that this was Xie Jiu's son, Sima Wang, Guangling.

He is not very similar to the emperor, but he is very similar to his mother Xie Jiu. Xie Jiu is also a beauty embryo, this King of Guangling naturally looks good.

While leading them into the door, I thought about what the Empress Dowager Xiao Yang was doing when she brought King Guangling? Demonstrate to me and tell me that the future crown lady is in her hands? Or, come to have a relationship with me?

After welcoming into the hall, let Meow Meow and Xiao Xiao give the Empress Dowager Xiao Yang a salute.

Empress Dowager Xiao Yang also said to Sima, "Son, go and see your Jia family's concubine." ”

Sima also bowed obediently.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Xiao Yang seemed to have something to say to me, Xiao Cui hurriedly took Meow Meow and Xiao Xiao out, and Shan Wan also said to Sima, "Your Highness, you and your sister also go to the garden to play." Sima looked at the Empress Dowager Xiao Yang and saw that she nodded, so he followed Shan Wan away.

Looking at Sima's back, Empress Dowager Xiao Yang smiled and said, "This kid is just very clingy to me." Originally, when the emperor was in the past, he said that he would inherit the great unification in the future, and he should learn to be self-reliant from an early age, and he should not be spoiled like an ordinary child. So, when he was a little old, he gave him a separate palace with a nurse and eunuch, and I only went to see it sometimes. Speaking of this, he stopped and wiped his tears, and then continued, "But after the funeral of the first emperor, I was alone in the palace every day, and I would cry when I thought of the first emperor. Er is really a caring and good child, he comes to Anle Palace every day to ask for peace, talk to me, and make me happy. In the past two years, he has been in my Anle Palace more than in his own dungeon, as long as he doesn't go to the study, basically, he is in my Anle Palace. ”

That's when Fluttershy says, "Queen Mother, although you are nominally his grandmother, you actually raised him just like his mother, and of course he is attached to you." ”

Yun Luo also said, "Yes, the little prince's biological mother is not around, he was completely brought up by you, he doesn't kiss you, who is he kissing." ”

Watching these people sing and harmonize, I couldn't help but keep silent, thinking that if people were thick-skinned, they would really be invincible in the world. When it comes to Sima's adoptive mother, the Empress Dowager is the first. It was the Empress Dowager who raised Sima from more than one year old to seven or eight years old. After the death of the Empress Dowager, Sima was transferred to the Empress Dowager Xiaoyang.

And in the two years when she was not canonized as the queen, she was busy intriguing with other concubines all day long, competing with each other, jealousy, busy currying favor with the emperor, and coveting the queen's throne.

After ascending to the queen's throne as she wished, she pestered the emperor every day, hoping to have another emperor. Because she didn't know she had lost her fertility. This kind of thing, the imperial doctor will not tell her, and the only one who knows about it, the former queen mother, will not tell her.

At that time, she was still young, she looked like a flower, and the emperor was pampered, it was when the spring breeze was proud, in her eyes, how could she see Sima, the little emperor grandson whose mother was from a humble background.

It was only after the death of the former emperor that she suddenly lost her backer, and in a panic, she wanted to grab another one quickly, and then she remembered the Sima who had always been forgotten by her.

Her hope of having a child by herself was completely shattered, and someone else's child was picked up by her as a treasure.

She asked Sima, it was only in the last year or two, how did she bring it up?

Moreover, isn't Yunluo obviously jealous of Fluttershy and the Empress Dowager Yang? Why now the three of them seem to have formed a united front. Is it that at the moment of crisis, I suddenly found that I couldn't write two Yang characters with one stroke, since they are a family, they have cold lips and teeth, and they must unite as one?

Come to think of it, another very important reason why Yunluo can return to the Yang front should be that Fluttershy has been in the palace these days, not to mention being favored by the emperor, and she has never even seen the emperor's dragon face.

Well, it's not completely nothing, when the emperor occasionally goes to Anle Palace to greet the Empress Dowager Xiao Yang, she can also see the last time.

Fluttershy is also not favored by the emperor, which makes Yunluo's jealousy and hostility towards her invisible. He began to fight with the enemy again, and aimed the spearhead of jealousy at me, a woman who has won the favor of the king.

After listening to them praise the Empress Dowager Xiao Yang's nurturing grace, they began to praise Sima again, saying how smart he was, and if he was witty, he praised him as a prodigy like no other in the world.

To illustrate Sima's extraordinary, they also cited a few stories from Sima's childhood—although these stories have been passed down all over the world and are well known.

It is said that when Sima was five years old, a fire broke out in the palace, and the emperor went upstairs to observe the disaster. Seeing that the fire was shining on the emperor's face, Sima went over and pulled his grandfather's shirt and told him to avoid the fire. When the emperor asked why, Sima said, "When a fire broke out suddenly at night, I am afraid that some traitor deliberately caused chaos, and its motive is very suspicious." At such a time, it is better not to stand in a place where the fire can be seen, so as not to give the traitor an opportunity. ”

The emperor was amazed when he heard this, how could a five-year-old child not be overjoyed when he was so alert? At that time, he was worried about the courtiers' ability to question Tai. Now that the emperor and grandson are so smart, even if they have a bit of a problem with their intelligence, it will not be a big problem, and it will be passed on to the emperor and grandson as soon as possible in the future.

On another occasion, the first emperor led Sima to visit the tribute pigs raised in the palace. Sima saw that the pigs had grown very big and fat, so he said to the emperor, "The pigs are very fat, why don't you kill them and eat them, and keep them here to waste food?" ”

When the emperor heard this, he immediately ordered someone to kill the pig. Since then, these animals have been kept in the palaces from all over the world, and when they reach a certain weight, they are slaughtered like ordinary animals.

The first emperor was overjoyed when he saw that Sun had extraordinary insights at a young age, and said to the accompanying court captain Fu Yi and others, "This is the place to prosper my family." ”

It is said that it was because Sima won the emperor's heart that the emperor slowly dispelled the idea of changing the emperor.

I sat smiling and listened to them babble about the old words they had spoken from years ago.

Empress Dowager Xiao Yang and the others are now suddenly turning these things out again, what is the intention?
