554 olive branch

The fact that the emperor wants to canonize Prince Xiao Shaoxuan is too exciting. . .

Soon, it became a hot topic inside and outside the capital.

And Concubine Li Xian in the palace always pays attention to the movements of the Zhenbei Palace, so she naturally knows about it for the first time.

She couldn't help but feel anxious, and instructed her henchman: "Hurry up! Let someone go to Li's house, find my father, and ask him what the hell is going on? If the emperor really wants to canonize Xiao Shaoxuan as the crown prince, let my father give me an idea to solve it. ”

It didn't go well.

The person sent out went back to Li's house, and came back and said: "Li Ge Lao said that he didn't know that there was such a thing, and he also advised Niangniang not to get involved, and An An stayed in the harem separately." ”

Concubine Li Xian's heart suddenly cooled.

In fact, she knew that the Li family had always taken the route of pure ministers, and she did not stand in line for any prince.

But thinking about it, as long as she jumped out to support the eleventh prince, the Li family would be suspected of forming a party that could not be cleared, so naturally she would stand in line instead of standing in line.

Unexpectedly, my father refused in one bite.

Concubine Li Xian was disappointed and annoyed, and ordered: "Send someone to find my brother again and ask him what he plans to do?" Tell him that if I stay in the palace while I am waiting to die, I will be eaten sooner or later. ”

So, the henchman arranged for someone to go to Li's house again.

After waiting for a long time, the little eunuch who went to Li's house came back in a gloomy manner, crying and saying, "Niangniang! No, Master Li scolded the slave when he saw it, and said that if he dared to go to someone again, he would directly interrupt that person's retreat! ”

Brother doesn't help her either? Concubine Li Xian was so angry that her liver hurt.

She said angrily: "I don't believe it, no one in the Li family is willing to help me!" Hurry up and send someone, not to find my father, not to find my brother, just to find my mother, let her enter the palace immediately, I will talk to her personally. ”

The henchman persuaded her: "Niangniang, it's a little late today, if you send someone out again, you will definitely not be able to come back before the key is dropped at the palace gate." Moreover, if you send someone to the Li family three times a day, the emperor is afraid that he will ask. ”

Concubine Li Xian said angrily: "Then tomorrow!" ”

However, as the night passed, the news came that Mrs. Li had fallen ill.

Concubine Li Xian was immediately angry.

She didn't believe it, her mother would just fall ill at this time, it must be an excuse to be sick, and then there would be a reason not to enter the palace.

Concubine Li Xian was so angry that her heart hurt, her liver hurt, and her brain hurt, and she couldn't even eat.

In her opinion, although Xiao Shaoxuan has the power of the army, the Huo family army cannot fly over immediately.

Therefore, as long as Li Jiaken supports her and supports the eleventh prince to ascend the throne, and wants the emperor to canonize the eleventh prince as the crown prince, the matter will be more than half successful.

If the eleventh prince becomes the crown prince, he will be a legitimate prince, and he will naturally be protected by loyal and strong ministers, and protected by the army of the imperial court.

No matter how capable Xiao Shaoxuan is, can he still directly lead the troops to rebel? That's rebellion!

Therefore, at this time, as long as the people of the Li family help, the eleventh prince may be the crown prince.

----, the people of the Li family did not support it.

Concubine Li Xian was anxious, as if she had seen a mountain of gold and silver, but there was a river in the middle, but the people of the Li family still didn't help her build a bridge, so she couldn't get through!

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind!

Since her mother's family refuses to help her, why not use the power of her daughter and son-in-law? Now, her daughter Princess Qinshui is the fourth princess of Nanshu.

Besides, Nangong Shuyun had promised her before that she would definitely help where she could help!

Otherwise, he would not have given his daughter to Nangong Shuyun.

Concubine Li Xian immediately beckoned and called her confidant, "Hurry up, let people go and send a letter to Nangong Shuyun's subordinates, and let them use all their strength to help me this time!" ”

This time, things went surprisingly well.

Nangong Shuyun, the person in charge of staying in the capital, after meeting Concubine Li Xian's people, promised to do his best to assist Concubine Li Xian, and said that it was the explanation left by the four princes before.

Concubine Li Xian couldn't help but feel complacent when she received the reply.

I was proud in my heart, and felt that Nangong Shuyun must be waiting for her to be the queen mother, and then use her power so that she could win in Nanshu in the future.

This kind of mutual benefit is completely human nature.

---- therefore did not have the slightest doubt.

Concubine Li Xian couldn't help but have a sweet dream for a while.

When the eleventh prince becomes the crown prince, and then the emperor in the future, she will be the justifiable queen mother.

At that time, the entire Central Plains Imperial Court was under her control.

Assist Nangong Shuyun a little more, help him to the throne of the prince of Nanshu, and then become the emperor of Nanshu, and her daughter Princess Qinshui is the queen of Nanshu.

Hahaha......

At that point, the whole world will have to call the shots!

Concubine Li Xian really became more and more beautiful the more she thought about it.

At this moment, I can eat and sleep, and the whole person is refreshed.

.

Nanshu Kingdom, the Four Princes' Mansion.

When the news of the emperor's canonization of Xiao Shaoxuan first came out, the informant of Nanshu State sent a message to Nangong Shuyun Feige for the first time, so it didn't take long to receive the news.

Nangong Shuyun opened the letter and took a quick look, and then hooked the corners of his mouth, "Very good!" Finally waiting for the opportunity. ”

He immediately entered the palace and quickly explained the situation to Empress Xue.

Through the heavy crystal bead curtains, there is a graceful and luxurious woman lying on the beauty couch, which is very well maintained, and looks as if she is only twenty-five or six years old.

But in fact, Empress Xue is already the mother of three children, and she is almost forty years old.

"Oh? You're going to the Central Plains again. Empress Xue's voice was as clear as water, and her words brought out a bit of the delicate posture of a young woman, she raised her hand to brush her hair, and the red gold exquisite bracelet on her wrist slid down.

In the silent hall, a string of "jingle bells" suddenly sounded.

Nangong Shuyun bowed down and replied: "Yes, this matter should be sooner rather than later, this time I promise to bring Lu Ruoqing back." ”

"Guaranteed?" Empress Xue had a pair of smart eyes, and the waves were uncertain.

Nangong Shuyun clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!" No matter how much price you have to pay, Erchen will not hesitate to do it, and she will do her best to do it for the queen mother! ”

"Hongu believes in you." Empress Xue wore a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin inlaid with red stone on her head, and when she sat up, the tassel of the phoenix hairpin's pendant swayed, and the treasure light flickered.

"Mother, slow down." Nangong Shuyun immediately stepped forward to help.

"You're still the sweetest." Empress Xue smiled and took his hand, glanced at him, and stood up slowly.

Nangong Shuyun did not answer.

just respectfully helped her sit down in the chair and brought her another cup of tea, "Queen Mother, drink tea." ”

Empress Xue said in a manly voice: "Okay, you can also sit." ”

Nangong Shuyun was a little anxious.

Now, he can't wait to rush to the Central Plains immediately.

Empress Xue saw his expression in her eyes and smiled lightly: "Don't worry, I'll let you go and arrange the official ferry, and wait for you to take a merchant ship directly to the north, so as not to let someone find out your whereabouts." ”

Nangong Shuyun's eyelids jumped, "Take the waterway?" ”

"Yes." Empress Xue restrained the smile on her face and said solemnly: "I will send you another errand on the bright side to cover up your whereabouts, and if you take the waterway again, you will naturally be unaware." ”

Nangong Shuyun thought for a while and responded: "Very good, the queen mother arranged it very properly." ”

Empress Xue called her henchmen to come in and speak.

She whispered a few words, waved her hand again, and the henchman quietly retreated.

Nangong Shuyun gently plucked the tea beside him.

Empress Xue smiled again on her face and said to him: "You go to the Central Plains Imperial Court this time, find an opportunity, meet quietly with Wuwu in private, and tell her that I, Chang Huan, and Chongming are very worried about her." ”

Princess Chang Huan is her eldest daughter, and Prince Chongming is her youngest son, both of whom are siblings of Princess Sanssouci's mother.

Nangong Shuyun's face remained unchanged, and he nodded seriously, "Okay, I will definitely tell you worry-free." ”

Empress Xue sighed faintly, "Don't worry, it's all because of a face." I really feel sorry for her and can't bear to restrain her, so I raised her to be pampered, and she has had a bad temper since she was a child. ”

Nangong Shuyun said with a smile: "Don't worry, the queen mother, that King Xiao Hao is very young and handsome, and he is deeply loved and favored by worry-free. It just so happened that Xiao Hao was blind because of snake venom, and he didn't care about his carefree appearance, so they should be very affectionate. ”

He lied, his expression the same as he normally would.

Empress Xue didn't see anything wrong.

just said: "You went to the Central Plains this time, remember to dial it a little worry-free." Since you are married, you should not have the same temper as when you were a girl in the past, and have good children, husbands and children, and your future life will be happy. ”

Nangong Shuyun replied: "Okay, I will definitely bring the words of the queen mother." ”

After he finished speaking, he smiled again, "Don't worry, the queen mother is worry-free now that she is pregnant, how much temper can she have?" When I gave birth to a child and became a mother, I naturally changed my temper for the sake of the child. ”

Empress Xue was not optimistic, and only said: "I hope she can be sensible." ”

The palace man said outside the door: "Queen Mother, do you want to present lunch now?" ”

Empress Xue glanced at Nangong Shuyun and hooked the corners of her mouth, "The people who are doing things horizontally and vertically haven't come back yet, even if you are in a hurry to go to the Central Plains, you won't be short of this meal, just leave after lunch." ”

Nangong Shuyun smiled and said, "Okay, then disturb the queen mother." ”

Thousands of miles away......

The capital, Zhenbei Wangfu is also ready for lunch.

Lu Ruoqing raised her hand and pointed, "Bring that sweet and sour little radish, I want to eat something refreshing, I won't drink the chicken soup today." ”

Mint hurriedly brought it to her.

Xiao Shaoxuan asked, "Is the chicken soup greasy?" Do you want to let the kitchen make a fish head tofu soup? ”

"No, you don't." Lu Ruoqing was already eating sweet and sour radishes.

Xiao Shaoxuan saw that she really liked to eat this, and her appetite was good, and then thought that she was a doctor who knew how to have a baby, so he didn't persuade her more, but just gave a dish from time to time.

The meal was eaten warmly and calmly.

After the table was withdrawn, Lu Ruoqing asked gossiply: "Is there any new movement in Concubine Li Xian recently?" You can't be honest. ”

Xiao Shaoxuan sneered and sneered: "Honest? She kept contacting the people of the Li family before, either the Li family supported her, or she was annoyed and angry by the Li family's rejection, and it would not stop no matter what. ”

Lu Ruoqing nodded, "That's right, it is estimated that there will be moths soon." ”
