158. Advance by retreating
After getting along for a long time, but frowning slightly, Li Dan had already seen through what she was thinking: "Actually, no matter what your attitude is, as long as the queen mother wants to go further, she will do it." ”
With just one sentence, the doubts in the young peace of mind were broken, and the queen mother had already made up her mind to be the first empress who had never been seen before. But she didn't move for a long time, in fact, she was waiting to see everyone's attitude. She didn't really need the support of these attitudes, she just wanted to know who wanted to be her servant before and after the saddle.
The Wu family had apparently shown their attitude, and from the stone engraved with the words "Our Lady of Arrival", they had already stood behind the Queen Mother. And the queen mother, naturally, also gave them rich rewards, the sons and nephews of the martial arts family added officials to the knighthood, swaggered through the market, and when the queen mother's wish was fulfilled, they would be rewarded more.
Now, the Queen Mother deliberately put this opportunity to express her attitude in front of herself......
The initial panic and shock in his eyes dissipated for a moment, and gradually changed to a deep and bottomless deep calm: "This is a good opportunity, I should firmly seize it." ”
There was no need for words to explain, Li Dan understood her mind almost at the same time. The Empress Dowager had realized that the son who was now sitting on the throne was not as obedient as he seemed. If You'an is forced by the situation and chooses to stand on the side of the Queen Mother, he can become a powerful constraint on Li Dan's side. You Anzheng can use the opportunity of this "submission" to exert influence in the court situation instead of Li Dan.
Li Dan has been completely isolated from political affairs, and the opportunity that You'an has won will be crucial. He raised his hand to caress the side of You'an's face, this is the girl he likes at a glance, no matter how bad the situation is, she is like a weed broken by the wind, and will never give up.
"I'm sorry," Li Dan's voice trembled slightly, "Gu married you and let you give birth to a child, I originally hoped to give you stability, but now I want to ......"
"You don't have to say I'm sorry," You'an put his hand on the back of his hand, "You told me about the old things when you went out with the army, but I always felt that those things were far away from me, and I felt that there was a side of you that I couldn't understand. Now that I finally have a chance, I can go forward and backward with you, I'm so happy, really happy. Even if it comes to the end of this life, as long as I remember such a time, I will feel that this life is worthwhile. ”
Li Dan couldn't say anything more sorry, and opened his arms around You'an. You'an leaned on his chest and heard his low, powerful heartbeat, like a war drum before setting out for battle.
But after a moment, Li Dan's expression was as usual: "If the queen mother trusts you and gives you a chance to participate in political affairs again, what should you do, do you know?" ”
"Defend the weak." Almost without thinking about it, You'an spat out these two words. In fact, she has been doing this all these days, and there is nothing wrong with defending weakness, and others will naturally have no way to attack her.
Li Dan nodded lightly: "Yes, but you can't blindly guard the weak." You are already a concubine, if you blindly guard the weak, people who don't know will only think that the royal family has declined to the point where you can be bullied, but you will completely lose hope. ”
He said solemnly, "You have to learn to plant." ”

Previous Chapter Summary: ......
Summary of the next chapter: ..., I saw Lai Junchen personally whip his horse and quickly followed. The concierge of Princess Taiping's Mansion recognized You'an, and after the word was transmitted, he invited You'an in. Princess Taiping was trying on clothes for her little daughter who had just been born not long ago, and when she saw You'an coming, she was in a good mood, so she pulled her over and chose the right color together. Several children are gathered around Princess Taiping, both intimate and obedient, if there are no political troubles, she is really a very happy princess. After finally packing up her little daughter, Princess Taiping took the time to ask, "Why did you suddenly come to me?" "I'm from the palace, and today happens to be the day I entered the palace to copy the book for the Queen Mother, and by the way, I sent the sketch of the Mingtang that I had drawn." You'an didn't hide it, she almost rushed out, asking Princess Taiping to think of a way to avoid this disaster, but she couldn't help it. It is a fact that the Xue family and King Langya secretly passed the message, and their mother, Princess Chengyang, has long had a lot of complaints about the queen mother, and it is impossible for the Xue family to keep their former stability and wealth. She smiled as calmly as she could: "Actually, I came here to say why don't the princess go into the palace to live for a few days?" Although the queen mother didn't mention it, she still looked forward to ...../> in her heart
"What?" You'an didn't understand what he meant for a moment.
Li Dan repeated: "Seed, planted seed." Just like a farmer planting the land, first pick out the right seeds, discern which people are truly loyal to Li Tang's orthodoxy, and then carefully feed these seeds to prevent them from being blown away by the wind. It is also necessary to water it with rain at the right time, and remove those weeds that are too strong, or seeds that are too weak to germinate, and leave only the best. Then, wait for the seeds to take root and grow into towering trees that can be used to cut down trees and crush your enemies. ”
This is the first time that You'an, hearing Li Dan explain his way of doing things in such detail and seriously, she also nodded very seriously: "I know, you can rest assured." ”
Li Dan still held her hand and didn't let go: "No matter what you do, there is one more important thing, protect yourself and don't risk yourself." ”
When You'an entered the palace again, he carried the sketch of the construction of the Ming Palace that had been drawn. When the drawings were spread out in front of the Queen Mother, she clearly saw that the Queen Mother's eyes lit up, and this three-story Ming Hall, even if it was just a sketch on paper, was exciting enough, with both the majesty of the palace and the wonder and transparency of the pavilion.
The Empress Dowager's gaze finally fell on a partially enlarged exploded view, which clearly marked that the stone with the inscription "Our Lady of Arrival" would have been placed in the most conspicuous place in the Ming Hall, where the plaque belonging to the Emperor should have been placed, according to custom.
Pointing her finger there, the Queen Mother asked, "What does this mean?" ”
"Queen Mother," You'an stepped forward a few steps and stood beside her, "When the courtier-in-law drew here, she suddenly felt that it was really the most appropriate place to put this Heavenly Divine Atlas here. Although the queen mother had decreed that a tall tower should be built for storage, it was h2
