Xiyue heard that Jiang Tianzhen was going to guard the border pass, and she had to live in the palace by herself, saying that she wanted to take care of herself, which was obviously house arrest, and she couldn't even see through this thing, so wouldn't she live up to Chu Lixue's cultivation of her in vain?

Thinking of this, Xi Yue took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, Brother Wang and Jiang Tianzhen are guarding the border pass, and the princess and I should be in the palace, how can I live in the palace and disturb you, besides, the affairs in the palace are complicated, and we also need to deal with them, and I ask the emperor to take back his order." ”

"Xiyue County Lord, although you are the county lord, but you can't let the emperor go back on his word, the emperor is kind, afraid that you will be lonely in the mansion, so you are allowed to live in the palace, why are you so ignorant?" Moon Shadow said coldly.

She asked the emperor to send King Chen and Jiang Tian to guard the border pass, in order to find an excuse to let the county lord of Xiyue and Princess Chen enter the palace, and she knew very well that the emperor had always been obsessed with Princess Chen, if Princess Chen was in the palace, the emperor would naturally not be able to do anything, but it would be different in the palace, if the emperor defiled Princess Chen, the lord of Xiyue County was the witness, and when the time came, King Chen would definitely kill the emperor, and when Beichen was in turmoil, there was no one to guard the border of Yuexi, and the army of Yuexi could drive straight in.

This was something her mother had bothered to plan, and her mother also promised that as long as she could smoothly stir up the situation in the court, then the future Empress of Yuexi would be her.

Man's eyes are blinded by the desire for power. Naturally, Moon Shadow couldn't see the stakes in this. Perhaps, she never thought that if Yue Xi broke into the realm of Beichen, would someone kill her and Yuehua to sacrifice the flag, or push them to the front of the battle as a target, as Concubine Chang said.

Under such circumstances, would her mother be reluctant to kill her just because she was her own daughter? These things, Moon Shadow probably didn't think about at all. In her heart, what she thinks about is the throne with supreme power.

Hearing Moon Shadow say this, Xiyue sneered, "Afraid that we will be lonely? Then don't send our husband to guard the border pass, there are so many generals in the court, why choose only the two of them, the imperial brother knows best, besides, if you are afraid that we will be lonely, I can move to the palace of the princess and sister-in-law to be the companion of the princess and sister-in-law, or in other words, please ask the princess and sister-in-law to live in the mansion of Jiang Guogong, so that we will not be lonely. ”

Hearing this, Moon Shadow was dumbfounded, she really didn't expect the Xiyue County Lord to say such a thing. It seems that he still underestimates his opponent too much.

Immediately, Moon Shadow pointed the finger at Chu Lixue again, "Princess Chen, the emperor's kindness, don't shirk it, so as not to hurt the brotherhood between the emperor and King Chen." ”

Hmph, is this a threat to her? It's just that what she Chu Lixue hates most in her life is to be threatened, and those who want to threaten her had better find a way back for themselves, so as not to dig a pit and jump in it when the time comes, and then fall to pieces.

"The kindness of the concubine and the emperor, the concubine has it, but the concubine has a lot of shops in the city that need to be taken care of, if you go into the palace to live, it is very troublesome to go out of the palace every day, and at the end of the month, it will definitely break the rules of the palace, and you can't get the key on time." Chu Lixue said lightly.

"You ......" Moon Shadow was speechless, she couldn't imagine that this Princess Chen would use the shops in the city to take care of them as an excuse, so what should she do? yes, why don't you just let her close those shops?

Thinking of this, as soon as Moon Shadow was about to speak, Chu Lixue took the lead and said, "Did the noble concubine Niangniang forget what I said to you just now?" ”

Hearing this, Moon Shadow was slightly stunned, she was still a little worried about what Princess Chen said to herself just now, after all, in the emperor's heart, Princess Chen was the first woman he really liked, if she really let her live in the palace, or help the emperor fulfill her wish, although she could provoke the relationship between the emperor and King Chen, but what about her own fate? She really didn't think about it.

When the emperor heard this, he wondered in his heart, what did Princess Chen say to Moon Shadow? Looking at Moon Shadow's face, it's not very good-looking. But he couldn't ask on the spot, if they were talking about something that couldn't be put on the table, then did he still have the face of the emperor?

Thinking of this, the emperor said lightly, "Princess, I'm just worried that King Chen is busy with military affairs outside, and I'm worried that you have no one to take care of you, so don't think about it." ”

It's really getting darker and darker, the emperor's words make people doubt his intentions even more, the emperor loves Princess Chen's beauty, this is a thing known to the whole country, and now that he says so, no one understands what the emperor thinks in his heart. Looking at Princess Chen's indifferent expression, there must be a good show.

Everyone waited for Chu Lixue's answer with the mentality of watching the play, Chu Lixue thought for a moment in her heart, and then said lightly: "The emperor's kindness, the concubine naturally understands, but the shops in the city also need to be taken care of by the concubine herself, if you leave it alone, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will be closed, half of the annual treasury tax of Beichen Kingdom comes from the concubine's shops, if it is closed, then half of the treasury will be lost." ”

As soon as these words came out, there were immediately people who supported him, making the emperor think twice. After all, women are relative to the foundation of a country, of course, the country is the most important, if there is no country, then women will naturally not exist, but if the country exists, women naturally exist.

Chu Lixue just grabbed the minds of those old ministers, and asked them to speak for themselves to admonish this lustful and unscrupulous faint monarch, hoping that he would not do something harmful to others and himself at this time.

"Your Majesty, since half of the tax revenue of Beichen comes from Princess Chen's shop, it is better to let the princess continue to preside over the business, so as to generate income for the treasury. I hope the emperor will think twice. Gu Taifu said in a deep voice.

With Gu Taifu taking the lead, some of the rest of the ministers also began to admonish one after another, some said that the princess was shrewd and capable, and the treasury was full and needed the princess's contribution, and some people said that Princess Chen should preside over the affairs of the palace in the palace, and some people even suggested that Chu Lixue should go to the border with King Chen to open up the market.

But no matter what they say, Chu Lixue will not do what they say, all she wants is for the ministers to put pressure on the emperor and ask him not to act so recklessly.

The emperor listened to the courtiers' admonitions, and his heart was very unhappy, but if he angered the courtiers because of such a thing, then tomorrow the streets and alleys of Yuncheng would know what he had done, and then I didn't know what kind of nursery rhymes would come out.

Thinking of this, the emperor wanted to look at Moon Shadow, everything today was Moon Shadow's idea, so she should be able to deal with it, right? The emperor thought to himself.

But Moon Shadow deliberately turned her head away, not looking at the emperor, it was really her mistake, she didn't expect that this Princess Chen's influence was so great, and half of the treasury of the Beichen Kingdom had to rely on Princess Chen, if she still wanted to help the emperor snatch Princess Chen away from the side of the King Chen, then she would be equivalent to destroying the great country of the Northern Chen Kingdom.

In the final analysis, Beichen will also belong to Yuexi in the future, and her mother will not want a country with nothing. Thinking of this, Moon Shadow bowed to the emperor and said: "Please also ask the emperor to take back the order, before the concubine was not careful, thinking that the prince was guarding outside, worried that the princess would be lonely when she returned to the house, but I didn't expect that the princess still needed to take care of the shop, it was all the concubine's fault, and I asked the emperor to punish her." ”

The emperor looked at Moon Shadow's humble appearance, held Moon Shadow with both hands and said lightly: "I don't blame you, you are married from Yuexi, and it is normal not to know about the things in the city, after all, you are also out of kindness and care about Princess Chen." ”

"Concubine Xie Emperor for his kindness." Moon Shadow saluted the emperor again, and then, he turned to look at Chu Lixue, and then saluted Chu Lixue and said: "Please don't blame the princess, it's all the palace's thoughtlessness, the proposal of the county lord of Xiyue is very good, if the princess is bored, then come into the palace to sit, the palace really wants to make the princess a friend." ”

Hmph, make friends, it's really high-sounding, if she Chu Lixue really regards Moon Shadow as a friend, then I'm afraid she will be eaten and there will be no bones left.

However, Chu Lixue had to admire Moon Shadow, in such a situation, she could quickly analyze the powerful relationship and make corresponding judgments and choices, which is not something that ordinary women can do, no wonder Empress Yuexi would choose her to kiss her.

It seems that this Moon Shadow is also a difficult enemy to deal with, as for that Yuehua, Chu Lixue doesn't know much about it, but she just thinks that this woman is not an idle person.

The emperor's wishful thinking failed, so naturally he didn't have any intention to continue the banquet, so he immediately found an excuse and ended the banquet in a hurry.

On the way home, King Chen sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, while Chu Lixue sat in the carriage with the three girls and talked softly.

"Princess, today's incident is clearly designed by that concubine, you must be careful, I don't know what bad idea she will come up with next time." Ning Xiang worried.

"Don't be afraid, if she dares to trouble our princess again, this girl will shave all her hair and throw her into the nunnery." Remnant Xue said indignantly.

"Nunnery? Don't let her disturb the purity of the Buddhist gate, even if a woman like her enters the nunnery, she will also make the nunnery smoky. "The waning moon poured cold water.

"So what do you say? You can't just let her frame the princess again and again, right? Can you hide once, hide a second time, a third time? Remnant Xue was not convinced.

"You guys, don't worry so much, you can still guess what Moon Shadow thinks in her heart, as for that Yuehua, but she has never revealed anything, such a person is a real rival." Chu Lixue frowned slightly.
