On this day, Yanhou Jian Xubai accompanied King Su to meet the Empress Dowager first, and then asked the Empress Dowager Su to say goodbye - and then the Empress Dowager Su kept them until the palace gate was about to fall before releasing them, so of course there was no time to meet the Empress Dowager.

"Su Wangfu was only sloppy before, and it has been empty for a few years, I'm afraid it's not easy to live in." Ignoring the approaching twilight, the Queen Mother personally sent them to the gate of Huiyi Palace, holding King Su's hand and reluctantly worried, "In my opinion, you should live in the Jihou Mansion first!" ”

"Although the Suwang Mansion has been empty for the past two years, it has been cleaned every day during this time, and the Queen Mother doesn't have to worry!" King Su comforted, "What's more, now the government and the opposition know about the child...... Everyone knows that I have returned, if I don't live in my mansion at this time, but live in the Su family, I will attract discussion. ”

When Emperor Duanhua ordered the two kings of Suxiang to return to the imperial capital, the two of them began to repair and sweep the mansion in the imperial capital, ready to welcome the master - although at that time everyone thought that these two princes might not be willing to come back first, and secondly, they might not be able to come back, and thirdly, they might not have the life to continue to own these two mansions if they came back, but they also had to be on guard against what happened?

Although the return of King Su is sudden, his palace is not unprepared.

And the reason why Empress Dowager Su suggested that he go to the Jihou Mansion was because he was afraid that he would live alone in the Su Palace, and he would be poisoned.

It's just that as King Su said, when he just entered the city last night, because no one knew, he could still hide in the other courtyard.

Now that he has shown his face in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, if he doesn't go back to his palace to live, it will inevitably make people think that he is too bold - where is this the courage that an emperor should have?

What's more, as long as He Wenqiong doesn't turn against the water, even if King Su doesn't go to the Su family, the Su family will definitely keep an eye on the defense of King Su's mansion.

If He Wenqiong is against the water, then the imperial capital is so big, where can Su Wangzang be safe?

Then it's better to live in the Su Wangfu with a generous side!

Empress Dowager Su also understands this truth, but the mother and son are connected, and she can't be relieved, so she sighed secretly at this moment and said: "Since this is the case, you have to be careful!" ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Jian Xubai on the side, and said gently, "Ah Xu, I'm tired of you today!" ”

"The imperial aunt is outside!" Jian Xubai arched his hand, "It's good that the imperial aunt doesn't think I'm bothering you!" ”

"Where?" Empress Dowager Su said with a pleasant face, "I'm afraid that you young people will think that I am an old woman and refuse to come to this Huiyi Palace!" ”

After a few words of greeting, Princess Changxing, who accompanied her out to give her away, reminded: "What the queen mother said two days ago, will you forget it?" ”

Empress Dowager Su was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly asked Fang Yu to turn back to the hall and take out a palm-sized brocade box, and handed it to Jian Xubai with a smile: "Two days ago, I packed up my things, and when I saw this jade pendant, I felt that it was very suitable for that child." Originally, I wanted to send it to the queen mother and hand it over to you, but I didn't think that I hadn't been to Qingxi Hall for the past two days, but now you came to me, but I just brought it back! ”

Jian Xubai knew that this was the Queen Mother's intention to show favor to the Yanhou Mansion, so she accepted it after a few symbolic excuses.

Seeing this, the eldest princess of Changxing raised her sleeves to cover her mouth, and chuckled: "My cousin-in-law is pregnant, and my cousin is in a hurry to go back. ”

This sounds ordinary, but it is a euphemism that she has let go of her previous infatuation with Jian Xubai, and sincerely wishes him and Song Yixiao a happy love.

Empress Dowager Su glanced at her daughter approvingly, and said with a smile: "That's what I said, then you go, it's cold, be careful on the road!" ”

After seeing the figures of King Su and Jian Xubai gradually disappear, Empress Dowager Su held her daughter's hand, and the mother and daughter walked back to the hall together, and the palace maids were busy making hot tea to warm them up.

"Two days will be the time of your descent." After taking a sip of tea, Empress Dowager Su put down the porcelain cup, looked at her daughter, and said with some guilt and emotion, "You have been wronged these two times!" ”

"Why did the queen mother suddenly say such a thing?" The eldest princess of Changxing was slightly stunned, also put down the tea bowl, pressed the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said puzzledly, "Didn't the queen mother always teach her daughter in the past, but the three of us are both prosperous and loss-oriented?" As long as my younger brother ascends the throne as emperor, who dares to wronged us? What's more, didn't you also inquire about He Qian? said that he is passable and interesting? ”

Seeing her say this, the Empress Dowager Su didn't want to say anything to disappoint her fun, so she only sighed: "But I hope everything will go well next!" ”

The queen mother has always felt that her daughter's two declines were unsatisfactory, and the first time she descended Jian Yiyou, purely to win over the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom for King Su, at least to ensure that the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom would not completely fall to Emperor Duanhua because of her simplicity.

And Jian Yiyu not only didn't treat the eldest princess of Changxing very well, but also let the concubine get pregnant twice before the eldest princess, and it was a shame to call the eldest princess of Changxing!

However, what Empress Dowager Su dislikes most about Jian Yiyu is his background: his biological father Jian Likuang is not the biological flesh and blood of Mrs. Yan Guotai, but because of Jian Pingyu's bad luck, he usurped the identity of Mrs. Yan Guotai's son!

And a famous family like Qingzhou Su is the most taboo to confuse blood, not distinguish between concubines, and spoil concubines and kill wives.

Because this kind of thing is most likely to cause a family to collapse from within.

And the current prospective horse He Qian, although there is no problem in his life and appearance, he is passable in terms of talent and appearance, but it is really far worse than Su Shaoge's level - and Empress Dowager Su feels that her daughter should not be humiliated if she should give Su Shaoge this kind of talent!

"Speaking of the death of Lu Ningye, Shaoge is still alone!" Empress Dowager Su thought of her outstanding nephew, and thought again, "Although he has not yet been filial to his father, after the worm slave ascends the throne, I should also ask him about his life's events!" Now the people of Fufeng Hall are not prosperous—oh, and Bofeng! ”

When Empress Dowager Su was worried about the marriage of several juniors, in the Weiyang Palace, Empress Wei was listening to Xin Xian's gift list: "...... Eighteen pots of foot-high coral trees, gone. ”

"That's all!" Empress Wei glanced at the dazzling array of gold beads and jade, Xia clothes and treasures under the steps, and said expressionlessly, "You take someone to carefully check the things, see if there is no problem, and send them to the Huiyi Palace!" ”

Xin Xian replied and said, "The slave has already seen all of them when they are carried over. ”

"Then seal it up and send it over!" Empress Wei rubbed the corners of her forehead and said lightly, "By the way, I will say a few words of greetings to Princess Changxing for this palace, and I will say that this palace wishes her and the horse to be happy and grow old!" ”

Xin Xian did as she said, and came back after a long time to resume her life, and said a little unevenly: "Niangniang prepared such a generous gift to add makeup to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Changxing, and when the slave maid sent it over, it was plain over there, and even the slave and maid conveyed your congratulations to the mother, and the mother and daughter also replied a few words without saltiness, which was too deceitful!" Do you really think that when King Su returns, he will be able to usurp the throne successfully?! ”

"The mother and daughter have always felt that Xuanming Palace should be King Su's!" Empress Wei sneered and said, "And the things that this palace opened the treasury and gave to Changxing should also belong to their mothers - then this palace is now equivalent to giving them their things as favors, of course they won't be grateful!" ”

Xin Xian knew that Empress Wei had been in a bad mood recently, and when she saw her say this at this moment, she suddenly felt a little remorseful, I was afraid that it would make her master's already bad mood worse, and she was wondering if she was looking for a topic to diverge, when she suddenly heard Empress Wei ask: "By the way, how is the situation in Liuxia Palace and Qibao Palace today?" ”

When the undercurrent in the palace was turbulent, Jian Xubai returned to the house, and the couple opened the box given by the Empress Dowager Su one by one, but saw that there was a pomegranate-shaped jade pendant inside, and the jade quality was relatively rare yellow and red.

Pomegranates have many seeds, and since ancient times, they have been used as a symbol to congratulate their offspring on prosperity.

Empress Dowager Su gave it to Song Yixiao, who was pregnant, but it was very appropriate.

"How about a face-up today?" However, Song Yixiao now doesn't bring a few hairpin rings in order to have a safe pregnancy, and this jade pendant only appreciates it, so she puts it away, and asks her husband with a smile, "Are you shocked when you see King Su?" ”

Jian Xubai snorted: "The future of Concubine Xu has been agreed, and there is no other progress." ”

"How can there be no progress?" Song Yi smiled and said curiously, "The Wei family didn't expect it to be repaid, did the Su family just let King Su go around today?" ”

Speaking of the abdication from Emperor Congduanhua, whenever the court meeting reached the new monarch, the courtiers of the Su family led by Qiu Shuxia are all trying to stir up the situation, isn't it because King Su is not there?

Now that King Su has finally returned, he has also appeared at the court meeting safely - the Su family has not yet sounded the war drum of attack, and has taken advantage of the opportunity for the prince to withdraw from the battle for the new monarch due to injury, and the king of Shu was sent to the imperial tomb by Concubine Xu to seek victory, do you still have to take your time? !

Jian Xubai explained: "The name of King Su is really a problem, even if the Su family has all kinds of preparations, they need to test the attitude of the ministers first, so as to adjust their strategies in time, so as not to fall short!" ”

"Speaking of which......" Song Yi smiled when she heard this, nodded thoughtfully, leaned into her husband's ear, and asked in a low voice, "How is the Empress Dowager going to write that will?" ”

"I haven't thought about it yet." Jian Xubai said, "Although it is said that it is a will that has been recorded, if it is not used well, the effect is limited." So the Empress Dowager decided not to write it first, and then it depends on the situation at the critical moment! ”

He raised his chin in the direction of He Fu, "In other words, what can decide the outcome in an instant right now is actually He Wenqiong's attitude!" ”

"This man is really indecisive!" Song Yixiao shook his head helplessly and said, "If he had been wholeheartedly loyal to the Wei family, he would have simply not agreed to let King Su enter the imperial capital!" promised the Su family to release him, but he refused to stand on the side of the Su family - then the Wei and Su families had to intrigue around him! So no matter who wins it, I'm afraid they won't like him, right? This person is also a scholar, why can't he even understand such a simple question? ”

Hearing this, Jian Xubai smiled meaningfully and said, "You don't want to know who promoted him?" ”

Song Yi was stunned for a moment, and then understood: He Wenqiong is the old man personally pointed out to Emperor Duanhua by Emperor Xianjia, and he is in charge of military power!

If such a person is a resolute and resolute person, how can Emperor Xianjia rest assured?

After all, there is something to say that Emperor Duanhua is not a particularly powerful monarch, how can Emperor Xianjia not know this? He really didn't have a choice, so he had to choose Emperor Duan - so Emperor Xianjia would never allow such an important thing as military power to be in charge of a particularly capable and powerful person!

Otherwise, Emperor Duanhua can't hold it down at all!

And He Wenqiong listened to Gu Shao for everything earlier, and now he will listen to whoever says it makes sense to him - such an indecisive and soft-eared person who does things and drags his feet, if it weren't for Emperor Duanhua who lost the throne by his own death, he is indeed very suitable for Emperor Duanhua to be the secretary of the military department.

After all, if it is peaceful today, there is no need to consider external troubles, He Wenqiong's character determines that he does not dare to rebel at all, how suitable is it for the mediocre Duanhua Emperor?

"It's a pity that no matter how much the first emperor has no last resort, he can't stop the current majesty from pitting himself!" Song Yixiao thought of this, shook her head secretly, no longer discussed these issues, and asked her husband with a smile: "It's almost time, it's time to call Chaoping and them to come over and have a meal together?" ”
