Shao Ziqing carefully spread out the painting to dry, and faced Mo Gu's cold eyes without any disapproval: "Your Majesty, you have three palaces and six courtyards, and Zhu Huancui is around, which can be described as 'waking up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of a beauty, like a fish in water, but persuading me, a single person, to come." I wish the peony flowers died, and the ghosts were also romantic, and the red face and dry bones were much more interesting than the rivers, mountains and waterfalls you painted every day. ”

Mo Guhan lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down on the gold-painted nine-dragon chair behind him: "You Shao Xiang boast that you have read thousands of sails, but this time you are looking away, right?" I dare to double the bet, betting that the queen mother's choice this time is this Chu Yuehua! And very smoky. ”

Shao Ziqing smacked his lips and said unwillingly: "Looking at the attitude of the Chang family towards this matter, it is really possible for Chu Yuehua." Otherwise, how could Chang Zhixin and others be willing to help her speak for a weak woman? ”

Mo Guhan snorted coldly from the end of his nose, his face was dark and uncertain: "What kind of temperament is the Queen Mother, how can her thoughts be easily revealed outside?" The more she praised Chang Lingyan in front of everyone in the Chang family, the more impossible it became. It seems that the Chang family is really the empress dowager's henchmen, and they figure it out thoroughly. You've miscalculated this time. ”

Shao Ziqing smiled calmly, his eyebrows fluttering: "Your Majesty is indeed convinced." I didn't expect the Empress Dowager to abandon the woman from the Chang family and fall in love with the daughter of General Chu. ”

"That's because I have always been jealous of the Chang family, and General Chu has made meritorious contributions to my Chang'an, and it is for my horse leather shroud, so I naturally won't treat her daughter too harshly. I don't know what the Empress Dowager said to this woman at that time, but judging from the fact that she is the Empress Dowager's favorite Zilong Woxue, she is a scheming woman. And it is not difficult to see from her wisdom and family property, is this Chu Yuehua a simple character? ”

Shao Ziqing bowed her head in agreement, and a touch of appreciation jumped in her eyes: "It is not easy for an orphan girl to get a place in Changle Hou's Mansion, but she can still take precautions and survive in a desperate situation, giving Mrs. Changle Hou a beautiful counterattack and finding a splendid way out for herself." With such forbearance and wisdom, it is no wonder that he can stand out from the many warblers and swallows in the Chang family, which really impresses his subordinates. ”

Mo Guhan rarely hooked the corners of his lips, with a hint of sarcasm, and the heroic and resolute lip line curved slightly into a smooth arc.

"Shao Ziqing, you have been deceived again."

"Your Majesty, is it fun for you to hit your subordinates repeatedly and repeatedly? The loss is not above the court, otherwise it would seem that the subordinates are so stupid, where will my face be put in white? Shao Ziqing's face was bitter, but the tips of his eyes were slightly raised: "How did your subordinates get deceived?" ”

"Hmph, you Shao Ziqing have also learned to slap horses, I don't believe it, will you remember the list of officials who released Baoding Mansion this spring."

Shao Ziqing was exposed, and he was not ashamed, touched his nose and smiled: "Among the officials who have been released to Baoding Mansion this year, only the Han Governor's family has an unmarried son of appropriate age. I'm afraid that the matchmaker is talking nonsense about whose money she received, right? I dare say that the matchmaker is afraid that he has long been gone, and he doesn't know where to flee. ”

Mo Guhan bent his fingers and tapped on the armrest of the golden dragon Panyun: "Who else did you receive the silver taels?" It is the Chu Yuehua you are full of praise. She set up this game herself, and the Lian family was greedy for money and ruthless, so she really fell into the trap, and she took the opportunity to turn against her, looking for death and life in public, and gave Lian a fatal blow. Otherwise, where is it so coincidental, when several brothers of the Chang family were in the Hou Ye's mansion, the incident happened? It's just that the son of the Han family carried the black cauldron, and the matter spread out, and someone sat down, and it was inevitable that he would be regarded as a talking point after dinner. ”

"It's a good trick to hide from the sky and the sea, and make a delaying plan out of nothing! Baoding Mansion is hundreds of miles away from the capital, and the information is blocked, so it can delay time. Otherwise, once Lian made his own decision and set a marriage for her, as soon as the birthday post was changed, if she regretted it again, she would withdraw from the marriage, and her reputation would be damaged to some extent. This future queen is really smart and strategic, I am afraid that she has a strategy in her chest and has studied the art of war. ”

As soon as the words fell, Shao Ziqing keenly felt that a cold wind swept over in an instant, making him have to close his mouth, and it was instantly difficult to breathe. He shrunk his neck knowingly, and smiled at Mo Guhan flatteringly, but he had no fear.

"You know, I hate the intrigue of the women's family the most, playing with power, but fortunately, this Chu Yuehua is not ruthless enough to kill the Lian family, and in the end, he even cares about the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion who is not welcomed, which can be regarded as affectionate and righteous. Otherwise, there are hundreds of ways for her to lose her qualification to enter the palace, and losing her honor is the most merciful. ”

Mo Guhan said it lightly, it seemed that Chu Yuehua's fate was just an ant in his hands, Shao Ziqing shuddered, feeling lucky for this woman named Chu Yuehua. If it was really a wrong step and regretted it for the rest of her life, maybe Chu Yuehua would never know that her momentary kindness saved her life.

It's not that Mo Gu is cold-hearted and ruthless, he understands and understands the heart and situation of this young emperor.

The first emperor died early, and Mo Guhan was only ten years old at the age of ten, and he was still a coquettish man in the arms of adults. He had to carry the burden of the Chang'an Dynasty with nine crowns on his head, trembling against the open guns and hidden arrows in the court, as well as the fierce eyes of the enemy countries on the border.

Fortunately, but also unfortunate, the empress dowager cultivated the mother family Chang clan during the reign of the first emperor, all over the three Qings and six departments in the court, with her as the center, solidly stabilized the power of the court, and was not seized by those thieves with wolf ambitions. The disadvantage is that the ever-expanding ambition of the Chang clan, the arrogant and domineering behavior of the party in the DPRK and China, and the bad deeds of doing all kinds of evil among the people have aroused the indignation of everyone in the court.

And the hegemony of the Empress Dowager has made it difficult for Mo Guhan to be in power and be restrained everywhere, if it weren't for his ruthless methods, decisiveness and wisdom, he could deter the Chang family party who only looked forward to the Empress Dowager, I am afraid that he would be a puppet emperor.

This time, the Empress Dowager was desperate, in order to keep the glory and wealth of the Chang family, and to find a woman from the Chang family to enter the palace, how could Mo Guhan not be disgusted and disgusted?

In particular, this Chu Yuehua was sharp for a while, dazzling, and wise, how could it not make people vigilant?

Shao Ziqing said with a hippie smile: "This queen's position was obtained by the empress dowager in exchange for the right minister's return to his hometown as a condition, no matter what, she will be the woman of the Chang family, this Chu Yuehua is superior in courage and strategy, and it should be more than enough to lead the harem, and the emperor can rest easy in the future, and no longer have to be upset by the open and secret battles between the concubines." ”

Mo Guhan suddenly narrowed his narrow eyes, and his thick eyelashes were like a phoenix tail silhouette, covering the coldness of his eyes: "Compared with Chu Yuehua, I prefer Chang Lingyan." ”

"Poof!"

Shao Ziqing couldn't hold back for a while, and laughed out loud very unkindly.

Mo Guhan flicked his fingers on the dragon case in front of him, and the Huizhou Panlong inkstone on the case suddenly bounced up, and the ink in the inkstone that was ground to the appropriate shade splashed straight towards Shao Ziqing's clothes, and a pair of ink mottled bloomed on his spotless brocade robe.

Shao Ziqing bounced higher than the inkstone, but he couldn't escape, holding the hem of his shirt in distress, wanting to cry without tears: "Your Majesty, the courtier's snow silk brocade robe took me half a month, and I invited the most famous embroidery girl in the capital to make a stitch and thread, and it took more than ten days of hard work to do it, and it was smoked for two days with Western rose fragrance. ”

Mo Guhan admired his masterpiece quite a lot, and showed a rare hint of pride: "I just want to tell Aiqing that you don't have to dress like this when you come to my palace." ”

Shao Ziqing beat his chest and was sad: "Your Majesty, you are talking about political affairs to waste sleep and forget to eat, Ziqing has given you all his life, every day out of the palace and the night is dark, where is there still free time to change three times a day?" Ziqing can't wear an official robe to visit the flower street and willow lane, right? ”

"Hmph, I'm not happy in my heart, you still want to have fun?"

Shao Ziqing has no temper, he is the emperor, and he has been controlled by the empress dowager, he is really unhappy and can do whatever he wants, what can he do except endure it?

"The emperor really likes that Chang Lingyan?"

Mo Guhan nodded, raised his eyebrows slightly, and rarely showed a little vivid color on his face: "I don't want to see off the evil wolf Chang Youxiang in front of the court, and there is an ambitious tiger in the harem, although Chang Lingyan sounds annoying with his teeth and claws, but the more arrogant, the more I like it." ”

Shao Ziqing immediately understood: "What about Chu Yuehua?" ”

Mo Guhan hesitated slightly: "Anyway, she is also Chu Lingchuan's orphan girl, so don't embarrass her too much, just punish her with a small punishment and a big commandment." ”

Shao Ziqing waved his hand: "Then your majesty will arrange it now." ”

Mo Guhan hooked his lips slightly with satisfaction, and the cold air in his eyes was cold: "I want to meet in person for a while!" ”
