Li and Sister Yan glanced at each other, Sister Yan's eyes signaled that it was okay, and Li followed the palace maid away.

The palace people looked at their eyes and acted, except for the two henchmen who served closely, the others were ten steps away from the two of them, and followed from a distance.

"It seems that the mother doesn't want to spread the word. ”

The queen said, "This matter is a big trouble, and it is not beneficial to Yining in the palace." ”

Sister Yan looked at the gorgeous flowers blooming on the side, "Who is it not good for, Niangniang should know best in her heart, Niangniang feels sorry for her daughter, but her status in Niangniang's heart is far less important than His Royal Highness King Ling." ”

"Don't provoke with words, I know best what the daughter of this palace needs most and what is most suitable. ”

"Also, there is no need to debate this matter, it is good for Niangniang to continue to maintain the filial piety of mother and son, and you know that I am not going to be your enemy today, but to cooperate with you. ”

"How can you be sure, this palace will definitely join forces with you. ”

"Could it be that Niang Niang will sit back and watch His Majesty marry Princess Yining to the powerless and powerless Twilight Tianshen, and then let the two of them be used by His Majesty at will. ”

The queen had a smile on her face, with murderous aura in her eyes, and said gracefully and luxuriously, "Naturally not, it's just that this palace, as the queen, Yining's mother, naturally has the right to stop this, but it really can't be done, except for the people who are in the way, it's not impossible." ”

Sister Yan chuckled, not worried, "Then why does Niangniang still see me today?"

"Hongu just wants to know what leverage you can come up with in exchange for a peaceful resolution of this matter. ”

"I know that a person as powerful as Niangniang doesn't look down on us so-called masters, but Niangniang still don't act rashly, the situation of His Royal Highness King Ling, you also know that if His Majesty finds out, you will destroy his plan by any means, and King Ling can still benefit?"

"After all, King Ling is Your Majesty's son-in-law, Your Majesty will not do anything to him because of a not very important Jianghu person, if you have something, don't hide your secrets, this palace has no effort to consume. ”

"If Niangniang really had such confidence, I wouldn't be standing here and chatting with Niangniang. ”

The queen glanced at her and waited for the next step.

"The situation of King Ling, you and I are very clear, on the surface he relied on His Majesty's favor and trust to escape, in fact, this is just a move by His Majesty to contain all parties, Niang Niang is planning for His Royal Highness King Ling every day, if you want to regain your favor, you can't make a mistake. ”

When the central matter was said, the queen was no longer angry, and instead said, "Miss Xie has bothered to plan for the twilight Tianshen, and she is re-involved in the dispute for him, this kind of friendship is probably not the righteousness of ordinary friends, are you more anxious in your heart?" ”

Sister Yan was unmoved, the queen said such words, didn't it cover up her weakness, "Anyway, King Ling did support the army and stand on his own that day, and offended many ministers, this prestige naturally fell, and King Ling has always deliberately targeted my Xie family, the momentum is like fire and water, His Royal Highness King Ling wants to reorganize his forces with peace of mind, it is naturally difficult." ”

"You're threatening Hongu?"

"Naturally not, we cooperate in this matter, and we have become temporary allies, we naturally will not stab our allies, and when this matter is understood, we will fight each other according to our abilities, this period of time, for King Ling, should be very important. ”

The queen said, "The contradiction between the Xie family and the emperor is difficult to reconcile, you are willing to reconcile temporarily, form an alliance with me, and even disrupt your Xie family's plans, it seems that the twilight sky is also very important to you." ”

"It's useless to say more, just ask the mother if she is willing. ”

The queen said, "So it is decided, if during this period, you break your promise and secretly attack the emperor, the palace will definitely not let you go." ”

"If you don't stand up without sincerity, don't worry. ”

"This palace will always pay attention, as long as it finds an opportunity, it will notify you as soon as possible, and you will cooperate. ”

"Thank you, mother. ”

The queen is naturally very satisfied, everything is under control, the Xie family does not make trouble, then there is no need to worry about the future, and the emperor will definitely be able to sit in that position.

"It's windy, go back. ”

The group returned to the palace in a mighty way, Li sat on the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, heard the report of the palace people, and hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Excuse me, I'm slacking off today and making you unwell. ”

Li said politely, "It's because I've been away from Beijing for too long, and now I'm not very suitable for the climate in Beijing, which makes Niangniang worried." ”

"I heard that there is a miracle doctor in the house, you still don't want to be reckless, go back and let her help you recuperate. ”

"Yes. ”

I haven't seen each other for many years, and the friendship is deep, but in fact, the friendship between the two is just that when they are in the boudoir again, they often meet at small gatherings of various families.

Chatting until the evening, Li and his sister Yan said goodbye under the pretext of excuse, and the queen sent them to the front hall with a reluctant look.

Sister Yan admired it in her heart, and she really had to do a full set of acts.

The two of them left the queen's palace, and it was only a time for a cup of tea, and someone came to invite them.

The person who came claimed to be the maid in Concubine Qiong's palace, saying that she saw Miss Xie looking good in red that day, thinking that there were a few red fabrics to pay tribute from elsewhere, and Concubine Qiong didn't like to be gorgeous, so she wanted to invite Mrs. Xie and Miss Xie to sit down, and by the way, give a few horses to Miss Xie.

The two naturally knew that this was an excuse, and when they entered the palace today, although the Li family did not know why, they knew in their hearts that it was not so simple, so they left the queen's palace, and Concubine Qiong came to invite her, what did it mean.

Outsiders were present, and the Li family was not easy to ask her sister, but her sister smiled and said that it was okay, and the two followed the palace people.

Seeing such a change, someone had already gone to tell the queen immediately.

The queen sat firmly on the phoenix throne, her expression was inexplicable, "Where is this Concubine Qiong wanting to see them, obviously it is Your Majesty, I didn't expect Your Majesty to attach so much importance to the Xie family, but it is just two female dependents entering the palace, and he also wants to see them." ”

The henchman persuaded, "Niangniang doesn't have to worry, Your Majesty is not jealous of the Xie family now, but it is just because the Xie family is still under the control of Your Majesty, so you still trust, the time that Niangniang bought for His Highness is enough for His Highness to regroup." ”

The queen nodded, and suddenly sighed again, "It is said that I am not as good as the emperor for Yining, in fact, what a woman wants, but a stable life, and continuous glory, as long as the emperor gets a high position, are you still afraid that Yining will not have a good life in the future? ”

"Niangniang and Your Majesty are both parents with the same heart, each has its own considerations, and the princess will understand in the future. ”

"I hope so. ”

The Li family and the two arrived at Qionghua Palace and entered the main hall, and the emperor was really in Qionghua Palace, sitting on the main seat, and Concubine Qiong was serving on the side.

"The courtiers (courtiers) meet Your Majesty and Concubine Qiong. ”

"Flat. ”

"I heard that you went to catch up with the queen today, but are you still comfortable?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the queen lady treats people warmly, there is nothing wrong, the courtiers told her a lot of Su Yue customs, the mother likes it very much, so she stayed for more hours. ”

"I have long heard that Su Yue has a good scenery, and if you don't have a chance to see it, it is inevitable that the queen will like it, but the scenery is good, and the characters are naturally good, this girl in your family is also outstanding, even my Concubine Qiong will never forget it, Baba found a fabric and wanted to give it to her. ”

Concubine Qiong said, "The sword is given to the hero, the red makeup is naturally given to the beauty, the concubine does not wear these colors for a long time, and the concubine is shocked when she sees Miss Xie, and this red dress is naturally given to her." ”

Sister Yan said, "Thank you Your Majesty and Niangniang for your compliment, Niangniang is beautiful and generous, and my sister is ashamed." ”

The emperor suddenly changed the subject, "You are seventeen years old this year." ”

"Back to Your Majesty, exactly. ”

"I heard that you haven't decided on a marriage yet, girl, it's better not to delay. ”

Li's face was shocked, and his heart was filled with anger, could it be that His Majesty couldn't control Ling'er, and actually wanted to use Xiao Jiu to contain Ling'er?

Sister Yan said unhurriedly, "Sister Yan has been obsessed with martial arts since she was a child, proficient in swordsmanship, and has no intention of having children, besides, her parents only have one daughter, Sister Yan, so she naturally does not want Sister Yan to marry far away and marry early, this matter is not in a hurry." ”

"The matter of having no children, it's just because I haven't met the person you like, there are many talented people in Beijing, you can pick one, if there is a fancy one, I can also make decisions for you. ”

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, although the courtiers are used to being comfortable, but they still know that marriage needs the orders of their parents, and they dare not deal with themselves, and they dare not pick people's things, and my grandfather and parents are afraid that they know in their hearts, and my sister does not dare to disobey her parents' orders. ”

The emperor's face froze, "Don't waste your time, if you have any difficulties, just tell me, and I will help you solve it." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

The emperor smiled again and half-jokingly said, "Actually, I really want you to choose one of my sons, don't be cheap for other boys." ”

"Your Majesty laughed, my sister was vulgar and unworthy of the princes. ”

Li said, "When I came, the fourth brother and his wife were already focusing on this matter, and it is estimated that there will be a charter within one or two years, and if there is an agreement in the future, I will ask Your Majesty to promote one or two." ”

The emperor said, "Little things, small things, but I must look at them, and I want to see what kind of person can marry a little sister." ”

"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, definitely. ”

Concubine Qiong saw that the emperor's face was not obvious, but her eyes were no longer right, and she said softly, "Your Majesty is also tired, and you can't talk about going with a few of our women, so it's better to let the concubines take the two to the treasury to see, and if there is anything suitable, the concubines will give it to Miss Xie together." ”

"You, you're really forgetful, and when you see a beautiful little girl, you're going to leave me?"

"Your Majesty~, it's rare for the concubine and Miss Xie to meet, you are also tired, just rest for a while, and the concubine will come back immediately. ”

The emperor said helplessly, "Go ahead, don't you learn the allusion of the beauty gifted by the thousand gold, and send away all your treasure house." ”

"Then don't be afraid, the concubine and Your Majesty. ”

The three of them went out to see the treasure house together, the emperor was supported by Gonggong Xu, entered the inner room, and rested, this Xie Sister Yan is also a headache, I don't know if she is really upright, she still has to work against me, say one sentence at a time, and the person who chokes is not easy to speak.

Gonggong Xu learned that Concubine Qiong pinched the acupuncture points on her head for the emperor, but it was not professional, and it was not as good as Concubine Qiong's grasp.

"Later, you have people go to the treasury to pick out some high-quality materials with more plain colors and send them to Qionghua Palace, and then allocate a few palace maids to Concubine Qiong. ”

"Yes. ”
