Yuehua remembered Chu Mubai's letter that day, and when she burned it, there was a grandmother from Ci'an Palace who entered the palace to deliver a message, and she saw it all. If you tell the truth, then you are a lever to participate in politics.

"Yuehua is not at the border pass, and he doesn't know General Li, but he heard the emperor say that there is a high-ranking and powerful person among the border pass generals who collaborates with the enemy, and the emperor can't reach the whip, so he is anxious and helpless. Yuehua should not participate in politics as the queen, but it is also Yuehua's duty to share the emperor's worries. ”

The Empress Dowager and Mama Lin glanced at each other, nodded imperceptibly, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good boy, sit down and talk, you don't need to be so reserved. Let's talk about some parents. ”

Yuehua got up from the ground and sat down with her head sideways.

"The triumphant return of your brother-in-law this time is also a great achievement, and the emperor will definitely reward him heavily, and the high-ranking officials will not need to say much, and they will also take care of you in the future."

Yuehua smiled reluctantly: "My brother is a fluke, he has to be enabled by the emperor, he is immoral, incompetent, and useless." ”

"Young hero, who dares to underestimate Chang'an now? The mourning family is trying to discuss with the emperor to see what kind of errand he will have. After all, although he is now holding the emperor's secret decree and making outstanding military achievements, he is still just a firehead army, and he can't reach the sky in one step. ”

"As long as you can do your best for the country and be loyal to the emperor, it is up to the emperor and the queen mother to decide."

Yuehua said it well, and the Empress Dowager smiled: "Does your brother-in-law have a marriage match now?" ”

Yuehua was stunned, and didn't understand how the Empress Dowager cared about Chu Mubai's marriage, so she only said truthfully: "When my mother was alive, I once mentioned several family affairs to my righteous brother, but they were all rejected by my righteous brother. ”

"Xiliang border pass is bitterly cold, and it is a barren land, a group of men in the barracks, where did the person come from? Listen to your words, the mourning family is becoming more and more rare this child. Now there are still many daughters to be married in our Chang family, especially the three unmarried cousins in your second uncle's house, and you have seen them all that day, all of them are charming and charming. If you are a sister, you should keep some mind and choose a favorite one for your brother to be your sister-in-law. It is also a beautiful thing for our two families to get close to each other again. ”

Is the Empress Dowager deliberately bringing Chu Mubai under her second uncle?

Yuehua thought carefully, for the time being, according to the current situation, if Chu Mubai really married the cousins in the second uncle's mansion, then the second uncle and the empress dowager would definitely be vigorously cultivated in him, and his progress was just around the corner.

It's just that the Empress Dowager's extraneous voice made her feel ashamed, the Chang family is tantamount to a quagmire, and the emperor has long intended to eradicate it, pushing his righteous brother into this pool of troubled water, and joining forces with him, is it harming him? His temperament and temperament have followed his father's teachings, how can he tolerate the slightest pickle?

Since entering the palace, Yuehua has been trembling between Changjia and Mo Guhan, in a dilemma.

If he has been obediently obeying the Empress Dowager's dictation and being a pawn inserted into the palace by the Chang family, Mo Guhan will be wary of himself, and he will never be able to truly accept himself, and he will only be unworthy of the name of the queen.

Disobeying the Empress Dowager means losing the backer of the Chang family and being isolated in the Forbidden City. It is very likely that Mo Guhan has been even more disdainful of himself since then.

Now Yuehua understands why Mo Guhan wants to reward himself above the court and put all the credit on himself.

He is clearly a dissensive plan, he wants to force himself to choose between the Chang family and him, and wants her to completely break away from the Chang family.

Today, whether you should or should not is your own attitude, which is clear and ambiguous.

Yuehua hesitated slightly: "Thanks to the Empress Dowager's refusal to give up, it's just that the sisters of the second uncle's family rarely move around, and they don't know each other, I don't know which sister's temperament is compatible with the brother, and it is not too late to make a decision when the righteous brother returns." ”

The Empress Dowager was unhappy and aggressively asked, "Is this matter so difficult to decide?" Or was the queen reluctant in the first place? ”

"Yuehua doesn't dare!" Yuehua said in a panic: "Marriage matters, the order of parents, the words of the matchmaker, Chu Mubai is Yuehua's brother, it is reasonable, Yuehua can't make decisions without permission." ”

"Then don't forget, you are still the queen of Chang'an! It is also natural to give marriage to courtiers. ”

"If it is a marriage, there is still the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, and the Emperor, how dare Yuehua go beyond the bounds?"

Yuehua thought that her words might anger the Empress Dowager, and the plate in her hand might be smashed down on her face, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement. She could feel the Empress Dowager's vicious gaze roaming over her, probing her thoughts.

The Empress Dowager suddenly smiled lightly: "The queen is reasonable, then the mourning family will make their own decisions in this matter." Mama Lin! ”

Mama Lin approached and listened to the instructions.

"Someone will send the queen back to Qingqiu Palace, remember, bring the reward of the mourning family!"

Mama Lin said yes respectfully, turned around and ordered the two palace people to send Yuehua out of the Ruian Palace.

As soon as she turned around, the jade lotus leaf piping plate under the queen mother's hand had already been slammed to the ground. Fortunately, after the cold weather, a long plush blanket was spread on the ground, and the golden oranges rolled down to the ground, and the plates were safe and sound.

"I really don't know what to do! It's going to be the other way around! ”

The Empress Dowager angrily slapped the case.

"The queen is just confused, right? How dare she disobey your old man? Mama Lin hurriedly persuaded her.

"This matter is obvious, she was lost in solitary cold! Mo Guhan just used a little trick on her, and she was so dizzy that she didn't know her identity. If it is said that Chu Mubai is recommended, it is because she can't judge the situation, or if she wants to cultivate her own manpower, the mourning family doesn't care about her. Today, she rejected the arrangement of the mourning family, that is, she has made up her mind and is ready to take risks! ”

Mama Lin sighed repeatedly: "This imperial grace is just a flower in the mirror, a moon in the water, rare and long-lasting, or the care of the Empress Dowager and your old man." The queen mother actually took the chestnut in the fire and gave up the watermelon to pick up the sesame seeds, which is smart but mistaken by cleverness! ”

The Empress Dowager's anger was hard to dissipate, and she became more and more indignant: "Now that the trouble of Xiliang is gone, the emperor will definitely take the opportunity to reduce the power of the righteous army, even the mourning family has no reason to oppose it." That Chu Mubai is afraid that he will be reused by the emperor to balance righteousness. If he can be attached to our permanent family, it will be enough, and he will be honored; Otherwise, she Chu Yuehua thought that just one Chu Mubai could really compete with my Chang family? It's just wishful thinking! ”

Mama Lin hurriedly poured tea and handed it to the Queen Mother: "The relationship is probably the mother, she is confused for a while, and she can't see the pros and cons clearly?" After all, women are short-sighted, how many people can be as wise as your old man? Looking for someone to knock on the side and dial a point? ”

The Empress Dowager sneered: "You underestimate her." can see through the mechanism that Shao Ziqing can't crack at a glance, and judge the situation, calm down, and come up with this kind of plan to cultivate the plank road and secretly Chen Cang, can you regard her as an ordinary woman? You forget, she is Chu Lingchuan's daughter.

In such a short period of time, he was able to gain the emperor's trust, proposed that the inner servants lead the Buchen Supervision Army, dispel the emperor's doubts, and seize military power with lightning speed.

Moreover, for so many days, she has concealed this matter to the fullest, and no abnormality has been revealed. Our people are waiting for her closely, and they don't know anything about it. It can be seen that it is not the same heart with us for a long time. ”

Mama Lin nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Listen to what you said, it's true." A Chu Mubai is not a big trouble, but this queen makes me worry for a while, and I thought it was the incident of the year. Once she really has a different heart with us, I'm afraid it will be ......"

"Humph! If the mourning family can pick her up, she can easily destroy it, but it's just a gesture! Now that General Li is dead, there is no proof of his death, and there is nothing to be afraid of. Zhiyi has always been ruthless in doing things, and he will never drag mud and water. The mourning family will give her Chu Yuehua a little color to see, see if she is still hard-mouthed? ”

The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows and looked angry, her face full of fierceness.

"The queen was painstakingly cultivated by your old man, and now that she and the emperor have a little meaning, how can you give it up?"

The Empress Dowager thought thoughtfully: "If it can't be used by me, it is a problem to raise tigers, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will bite the mourning family in the future." It's like a strong man breaking his wrist, and she can't give it up, it depends on whether she can wake up. The opportunity is still to be given to her. ”

"What do you mean by ......"

"Xuan Changle Hou enters the palace."
