The queen of heaven casually curled a strand of Princess Taiping's broken hair: "Come here, this palace will personally urge you to read and learn calligraphy, if you run away halfway, it won't work." ”

Princess Taiping muttered a few words in a coquettish voice, and the queen of heaven called someone to come and lead her to rest.

Since the small banquet, when the queen summoned Pei Shizhen several times, he was the only one to talk secretly, and sometimes You'an happened to be on the side, and the queen would also ask her to guard the door. You An vaguely guessed in her heart that the content of the conversation between the queen of heaven and Pei Shizhen was related to the mysterious Linglong Pagoda.

Because the exquisite small ring appeared in the market, the rumors about the mysterious Linglong Pagoda began to re-enter people's ears. You'an sometimes walked on the palace road, and he would also hear whispers among the palace people who sprinkled and swept the palace.

"Counting the one raised by the prince under his knees in the past, there have been three princes who have not died well, it seems that the results of the master's deduction are really useful."

"The two highnesses have been delayed in establishing a concubine, is it that the queen of heaven is choosing a candidate who meets that prophecy? I heard that only when the crown princess who meets the birthday meets the requirements gives birth to a concubine, the national fortune will be prosperous, otherwise, I am afraid that it will ......"

"Don't say it, these things have nothing to do with us, if the two princes marry the concubine at the same time, some of them will be busy."

The more shadowless things are, the faster they circulate in private. You An silently walked in front of the two palace maids who spoke, and when the two palace maids saw that it was her, they immediately turned white with fright, and quickly lowered their heads, about to sweep a hole in the blue brick floor.

You'an took the document into the Hanliang Palace, knelt on the side in front of the queen of heaven, and was about to pick out the important documents to read to the queen of heaven as usual, but the queen suddenly raised her hand to stop her movements: "It's just some trivial matters, don't be in a hurry to say it first." You'an knew that the queen of heaven had something else to say, so she put down the paperwork in her hand and waited quietly.

"You are also cool and bold in doing things, but compared to your mother, you are still a little worse," the queen looked out the window, as if she was reminiscing about the old people, "Your mother is the most appropriate and thoughtful person I have ever seen in this palace, and He Jinshu has always been pressed by her, and I have always been unconvinced." ”

You'an knew that his life background must not be hidden from the queen, but he was still surprised to hear the queen take the initiative to mention A-Niang.

The queen of heaven continued: "Such a cautious and proper person, but destroyed the mysterious and exquisite pagoda, and died of self-immolation afterwards, leaving only you two orphan girls in the world." To this day, Hongu still can't figure out what the reason for this is. The queen turned around, and there were obvious wrinkles around the eyes that were no longer young, but the scrutinizing light in the eyes still made people dare not look directly.

You'an bowed down, she didn't know why, she was still young before, and she only felt that someone must have framed A-Niang. Now that she is getting older, she has gradually come up with some new ideas, maybe A-Niang is deliberately trying to destroy the mysterious Linglong Pagoda in order to cover up some secrets that she doesn't want people to know.

But what secrets are there that deserve her to give her life to cover up?

She has nothing to say, the matter involves herself, and it is different from any previous answer, it is not a matter of saying a few flattering words to fool the past, and she can only be silent about the queen's questions.

The queen's tone suddenly became casual again: "You two sisters, you are not too young, it is better to report your birthday, and let the official media help you pay attention to a suitable marriage." The more clever and capable you are, the more difficult it is for this palace to delay you. This palace is like your own daughter, but you don't want to stay here and there, and you become an enemy. ”

This seemingly casual question is the real temptation, You'an didn't dare to get up, and still knelt on the ground and replied: "My maid and sister have never celebrated their birthdays, so ...... I never knew what my birthday was. ”

"I see," the queen narrowed her eyes, "That's it, let's talk about this later." She waved her hand, leaned on the cushion behind her, and called You'an up as usual, and continued to read to her the documents she hadn't finished reading before, one by one.

At lunchtime, Princess Taiping came uninvited, sat beside the queen of heaven very affectionately, and arranged vegetables on the porcelain plate in front of the queen. When You'an took the warm rice wine from the palace maid, Princess Taiping had to grab it, taste it herself, and the rice wine entered her throat, choking her so much that she coughed, and hurriedly sent the wine glass to the queen of heaven.

After the meal was eaten lively, Princess Taiping said that she was drunk and insisted on staying here to rest. The queen of heaven had already arranged her itinerary to go to Zichen Hall to meet a few important ministers, and she was helpless against Princess Taiping's behavior, so she only asked the palace maid to take care of her, so as not to let her blow the wind, so she took You'an away.

It was an eventful year for those who were in charge of the lifeblood of the empire, with the Turks and Tibetans restless, and the drought in the south, and the government and China hardly having enough manpower to deal with these simultaneous events. The officials and ministers who talk about it on weekdays only know that they blindly complain to the queen of heaven and ask for money, and it takes money to expand armaments and appease the displaced people...... As soon as the queen of heaven entered the door of the Zichen Palace, she didn't have the opportunity to move a little until the unitary hour.

It was easy to send away the last wave of ministers who complained about their grievances and invited merit, and the queen of heaven asked You'an to take the income and expenditure details submitted by the household department, and to personally estimate how much there was a gap in the money.

A thick stack of account books was placed in front of her, and the queen smiled helplessly before she could see it: "It's really a chore, the housewife of an ordinary person who presides over the feed, and when she encounters a shortage of money, she can still find relatives and neighbors to borrow." It's the turn of the main palace here, and there's nowhere to borrow it, h2
