Regarding Yuehua's unsatisfactory speech, Mo Guhan snorted dissatisfiedly: "Huh? ”

Yuehua gently rejected him: "There are people outside, in broad daylight, how embarrassing it is to be seen like this." ”

Mo Guhan was afraid of pressing her, so he lay on her side, and reached out to twist her pretty nose: "To be honest, are you jealous?" ”

"No," Yuehua blushed: "I just think that this country is big and it is not easy to govern, there are many ill-intentioned people, and those intrigues are endless, and I can't live at peace for a moment." ”

Mo Guhan listened to her complaining, and he also sighed in his heart, "People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, as long as there is power and desire, there will naturally be fights, which is inevitable." ”

"But why do those small neighboring countries live so peacefully? I have never heard of any such rebellion. ”

Mo Guhan chuckled hoarsely: "That's just that you didn't hear it, it's like Xiliang, you see that Li Teng'er is majestic every time she comes to Chang'an, in fact, in Xiliang, she covets the throne and wants to replace it, there are many people, she is also embattled and trembling." Have you forgotten that the last time Chu Mubai visited the prince's mansion at night, he overheard the conversation between Li Teng'er and Prince Xiliang? ”

Yuehua's eyes flashed, unconsciously playing with a strand of hair that Mo Guhan had lowered on her chest.

"It sounds like the lord of Xiliang is quite incompetent, everything is supported by Li Teng'er and the crown prince, why doesn't he just forget about the Zen position?"

Talking about state affairs, sweeping away the charm and ambiguity of the right talent, Mo Guhan hugged Yuehua and said in a deep voice: "Did I tell you about the civil strife in Xiliang?" ”

"Civil strife?" Yuehua shook her head: "I haven't heard you mention it." ”

Mo Guhan said "um": "Xu is I was busy for a while, and I forgot to talk to you." After Xiliang was pacified, I ordered Chu Mubai to secretly send secret agents to Xiliang to inquire about their internal news.

Some time ago, in the information sent back by the spies sent to Xiliang, it was mentioned that Xiliang had a coup d'état a few years ago, but I was still young at that time, and the government was controlled by the Empress Dowager and her party, so I didn't hear about it. ”

"A coup d'état? How have I never heard of it? Xiliang is so tightly hidden? ”

Mo Guhan nodded: "Don't say that you and me, even the people of Xiliang don't know, and there are only a few high-ranking and powerful people involved in the civil and military officials." ”

"What's going on in a while?"

Mo Guhan chuckled lightly and said eloquently: "This matter is related to Prince Xiliang, and it is probably one of the reasons why he has been living in seclusion in the Prince's Mansion and refuses to participate in politics. ”

Yuehua was more and more aroused by curiosity: "Hurry up, don't hang people's appetites." ”

"I heard that seven years ago, a palace change was launched in the Xiliang royal family. One of the most favored concubines of the Xiliang monarch united a prince with a foreign surname of the Xiliang royal family, as well as several important ministers, and secretly arranged to accuse the Xiliang queen of adultery with a powerful minister, and pointed out that the crown prince Li Sheng was the illegitimate son of the queen and the minister.

At that time, the conspiracy could be said to be seamless, the queen's incriminating evidence was conclusive, and she was caught by the king himself when she had a private meeting with the powerful minister, and the evidence of the two intending to rebel and kill the king and usurp the throne was also searched.

The king was furious, and killed the powerful minister with his own sword on the spot.

The favorite concubine took the opportunity to stir up trouble in front of the king, citing many incriminating evidences to prove that the current crown prince was not born to the king. The king was old and faint, and he believed it with enthusiasm, and ordered the palace people to go to the prince's mansion to arrest the prince and confess his relatives with blood.

It was ridiculous to say that the blood was dripping blood, not to mention that the demon concubine covered the sky with one hand in the harem, and it was easy to do something in the clear water.

The queen naturally refused to admit it, angrily reprimanded the demon concubine for bringing disaster to the country, mutilating Zhongliang, in order to save the prince's life, she had no choice but to die, and she crashed to death on the pillar of the hall, and blood was splashed on the spot.

The king had no compassion at that time, and was about to kill the prince on the spot. Fortunately, two highly respected ministers in the court at that time somehow hurried to hear the news, rescued the prince under the sword, and counted all the suspicious points, asking the king to investigate.

The king had calmed down, and under pressure from them, he should have given them two days to investigate the matter.

Those two deserved to be the ministers of the humerus, and they skillfully used a trick to solve the case and return the innocence of the late queen.

But after this incident, the prince couldn't help but be frightened, and he fell seriously ill, and many imperial doctors in the court were helpless. So all these years, the prince has been staying in the prince's mansion, saying that he is sick and does not come out.

Perhaps, he has a grudge against his father in his heart, so he has always refused to forgive and insisted on not leaving the house. ”

Yuehua was also silent for a while when she heard Mo Guhan's words: "It is said that tiger poison does not eat children, and the king is so stupid that he will kill his own flesh and blood if he doesn't agree with him." The prince saw his mother die in front of him with his own eyes, no matter who he was, he couldn't break this knot for a while, and he easily forgave him. ”

"Therefore, how many wise kings in history have been ruined in the hands of those concubines who have brought disaster to the country and the people. Thanks to the courtiers who rushed to turn the tide, otherwise wouldn't they have made a big mistake and regretted it for the rest of their lives? ”

Yuehua pursed her lips and smiled: "Then the emperor favors Yuehua like this, isn't he afraid to spoil Yuehua as such a concubine?" ”

Mo Guhan smiled extremely maliciously: "Then you have to make me fascinated first." ”

"Someone!" Yuehua was anxious and flustered.

The people in the outer palace quietly withdrew, closed the door, and locked all the spring into the warm pavilion.

In the first month of the new year, there was another heavy snow in the capital, and the plum blossoms in the garden were more noisy and public.

As soon as the plum blossoms, the little girls in each palace will pick two handfuls and raise them with water bottles in their master's bedroom, which is not only brightly colored, but also eye-catching, and the taste is also rich, much more elegant than the aroma of those fat powders.

When Yuehua walks, there is no scenery to enjoy, and I will go around the plum garden.

The old things were brought up again in front of Xiange, which was used to separate the relationship between Concubine Crane and Concubine Ling, which made her involuntarily think of Jun Shuyuan again.

She has been thinking about Jun Shuyuan's death these days, and originally thought that the little eunuch Zhao Jiu was suspicious, and she mentioned the beehive with the two brothers Qi Zuo and Qi right, for fear that she was instructed by someone.

But if it was really not Concubine He's fault to frame Jun Shuyuan in the first place, then this matter is insignificant, and it doesn't matter if he casually mentions it.

She dispelled her doubts about Zhao Jiu and walked aimlessly in the plum garden, with Mama Qin and Yushu following behind her to serve.

Yushu didn't understand where his master's sadness came from, and said happily: "Why don't you pick some Yushu and go back to raise it?" Niangniang has never liked fat powder and incense, and it smells good if she has more aroma. ”

Mama Qin retorted with a smile: "Little girls are just rare with this fragrance, in fact, this room is the best refreshing and refreshing, what smell is too much, you will feel tired of panic, and you have no appetite." ”

Yuehua picked a plum blossom and put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed lightly: "In fact, the aroma of this plum is too strong, and it is pressed by the snow with wisps, and it needs to be a little clearer, smelling refreshing and elegant." If you really enter the warm pavilion, it is really like what Mama Qin said, and she is so tired that she panics. If you like it, take it and put it on your bedside to smell it. ”

Yushu shook his head: "That's still not possible." What Niangniang says is always right, Niangniang says that elegance is elegance, and dislike is cheesiness. ”

Yushu can speak, coaxing Yuehua to smile: "Then haven't you heard that vulgarity is elegance, you see, I still took it back and smoked the house." ”

There were withered plum blossoms on the ground, scattered and scattered, and fell into the dirt on the ground.

"Who is this so black-hearted, how did he destroy a place?" Yushu pouted: "It's just a matter of picking two branches, it's a greedy one at first glance." ”

Mama Qin glanced at it: "I'm afraid it's from the palace, I want to pick it to make fragrant cakes, and I can still use it in the spring." ”

Yuehua casually inserted the plum blossom on her fingertips on the temples of Yushu, and said casually: "This is a skill, can you still make fragrant cakes?" No wonder some people say that the incense cakes paid tribute in our palace are not easy to use. ”

Mama Qin disagreed: "Who said that the fragrant cakes in the palace are not good? It was all paid tribute from Dali, from the hands of famous artists, and I am afraid that no one will use it except for the Nanling Palace's palace and our palace. ”

"Oh?" Yuehua turned around in surprise: "Isn't it in vain?" I heard that they dislike that there are always ashes after the fragrant cakes in our palace are heated, and they brought them in from outside the palace, and they are clean when they are used up, which shows that they are a lot purer. ”

Mama Qin shook her head: "When I followed the Empress Dowager, I was a little particular about this. There is no ash at all after the heat, but the oil in it is added too much, just like the whale oil added to the glass lamp in our palace, in fact, the fragrance is far less elegant than this. Niangniang has never liked to use fragrant cakes, in fact, the masters of the palace know that they are often used as a reward for the ladies or nobles outside, and everyone is proud of owning this fragrant cake. ”

Yuehua was stunned: "Really? ”

Mama Qin and Yushu couldn't help but smile: "If the master is interested, the maid will go to the Internal Affairs Mansion to fetch two pieces for you and compare them." ”

Yuehua shook her head: "It's just to ask for a long insight." ”

Hearing a noise on the other side of the garden, Yushu frowned: "Why don't you come to pick flowers again?" I don't let people live in peace, but I have to make the branches and leaves fall and be a mess. ”

As soon as the words fell, I really saw three palace people talking and laughing all the way, and came over together, each holding an altar on their arms.

Mama Qin said with a smile: "You are wrong this time, they are not here to pick flowers, but the snow, it should be from the palace of Concubine He, and Concubine Crane will accumulate some snow water in the plum rui every year when it snows, and bury it under the root of the south wall to cook tea." ”

Yushu wrinkled his nose and muttered in a low voice: "I will really enjoy it." ”

Yuehua smiled in her heart, where is this just enjoyment, it is just a means used by Concubine He to please Mo Guhan. It's just that Mo Guhan doesn't care about these aspects, and her tenderness is all in vain.

Yushu's temperament now feels more and more like Xiangshen.
