Chapter 188: The Empress Summons

As Su Zixuan's wedding date approached, this Qihou Mansion gradually became lively, and it was all festive red as far as the eye could see, as well as the smiles on the faces of the subordinates.

No one thought that the person who was most concerned about this marriage would be Gu Tingjun, who sent gifts to Su Tang'an, but everything that was worth it was returned back, so he no longer gave her anything, but gave it to those close to her.

Whether it is Ziwei Palace or Qihou Mansion, the leisurely county lord or Zhang Haiyi, they all do what they like, even the three ladies and mothers and daughters in the Zhuangzi in the suburbs have taken care of them, not to mention Su Hongguang and Su Zixuan, who is about to get married, this gift entered the Qihou Mansion like flowing water.

No matter what, Gu Tingjun is not only interested in Su Tang, but also for the people around her. In the eyes of outsiders, Gu Tingjun is naturally a rare good husband, not to mention that he has a promising talent, and I don't know how many people envy him.

In comparison, it is also a marriage, and the King of Chu's thoughts about Su Changle seem to be much more flat, except for the festival, he doesn't say much. Su Changle refused to be left behind everywhere, and naturally felt a little more concerned in his heart.

What's more, the marriage between Su Tang'an and Gu Tingjun has already been decided, and the marriage date between her and the king of Chu, the king of Chu did not give an accurate statement, and the old lady will go to tell the old princess of Chu another day, and the wedding date will be set as soon as possible, and only after officially becoming the princess of Chu can she rest assured.

March 21, the day of the Spring Festival. Crape Myrtle Palace holds a spring festival to pray for a year of good weather and good weather.

Su Tang'an ascended the altar for the second time, looking down on the civil and military officials standing below. The last time it was on this high altar that she knew the temptation of power to man. And behind the power, there is a more conflict of interests, in the past, the prince and the second prince fought, and now Xuanyuan Marquis and Bai Cheng are fighting, as long as the distribution of interests is not even, as long as there is greed in people's hearts, this dispute will never be settled.

Even if he is a high-ranking emperor, he has to weigh his relationship with hundreds of officials.

Where there are people, there is never a time when the waves are calm.

And this time, the queen's face is still a lot more relaxed, she doesn't have to worry about Su Cheng'an being included in the harem by the emperor, but she still can't tolerate a woman with this face.

Now that Gu Tingjun has sprung up and joined forces with Ziwei Palace, he is afraid that he has secretly colluded with the second prince, and he will become a trouble in the future. And Su Tang'an, a woman, may become a big trouble for their mother and son in the future, she is obviously just a girl who does not enter the stream, from the first time she saw Su Tang'an, she had such a trace of uneasiness in her heart.

However, this girl is not her biggest hidden danger for the time being, what she is most worried about is the affairs of the East Palace.

Although Li Changlong became the crown prince with the strong support of Marquis Xuanyuan, their mother and son were unwilling to be controlled by others, so they married Bai Chengxiang to completely eradicate the power of the second prince, and secondly, they could use Prime Minister Bai to contain Xuanyuan Marquis.

The second prince was in a slump, so there was no need to worry, but he didn't expect that there would be another Gu Tingjun who was silent before, but now the contradiction between the Marquis of Xuanyuan and the Bai family is getting deeper and deeper, and there are times when they join forces to deal with outsiders, but more often they want to settle down first, after all, there is only one position for this crown princess, and there will only be one position for this queen in the future.

Zheng Peilan gave birth to her eldest son, which is great news for the Zheng family, but if Bai Qian is pregnant, if she gives birth to a son-in-law, then the people on both sides will not give in to each other.

Now the power of Xuanyuan Hou is indeed contained, but there are also many hidden dangers.

The empress even thought that giving Bai Qianruo to the crown prince was the result of the emperor's careful consideration? Perhaps he had already expected today's situation, and the East Palace had checks and balances among themselves, so who would dare to covet the throne?

This spring festival is very busy, Su Cheng'an has been following behind Gong You, and when necessary, he needs to personally preside over some matters. It's just that this spring festival is a big event, and the overall thing is still in charge, if something goes wrong, even the queen will inevitably receive punishment, so the subordinates dare not do their best.

When things were almost busy, when Su Tang'an was about to leave, a palace maid stopped her, and the queen summoned her.

Su Tang'an frowned slightly, self-respecting this time, for this biggest enemy of herself, she has not really faced each other, she tidied up a little, and then went to Biliu Villa where the queen temporarily rested with the palace maid, as for the others, the emperor needs to plough personally, this day is not only the children of the royal family, but also the people who are valued by the emperor need to personally go to the fields to farm, pray for a good harvest for a year, and the female dependents can rest temporarily.

Su Tang'an arrived at Biliu Villa, passed through rows of willow trees, and came to the lake. I saw the queen sitting in the gazebo, looking at the scenery around.

"The courtiers have seen the queen's mother. Su Tang Anfu said.

"Flatten. The queen glanced at Su Cheng'an lightly, there was a light smile on the corner of her mouth, she was a mother, who would have thought that this woman was insidious and vicious, and she could slaughter others for her own selfish desires?

"Xie Niangniang. Su Cheng'an lowered her eyes slightly, concealed the hatred in her eyes, and said after sitting down, "I don't know why Niangniang called her courtiers to come today?"

"Hongu just wants to meet you. The queen said lightly, "A few months ago, the prince once hoped that the palace could come forward and ask for someone from the Ziwei Palace, this person was Miss Su, but later the prince put his mind on government affairs and didn't ask about it again, and the palace only thought that he was a whim and didn't care." Later, the emperor assigned you to Gu Tingjun, and a few days ago, the prince came to the palace and said that you are willing to be his internal response and monitor Gu Tingjun's every move?"

Li Changlong thinks very highly of himself, and feels that if he is a little charming, women will die for him, and Su Cheng'an can gain his trust as long as he follows his words. The queen is different, she is a woman, and she is more cautious, so she has to deal with it well.

"The courtiers did say such things to the prince. ”

"This palace heard that this third prince Gu saved your life, and he is very obedient to you, very attentive, the two of you are a match made in heaven, why do you want to betray him?" the queen said lightly, "What good is it for you to do this?"

"Ziwei Palace counts the destiny of heaven, Niangniang won't know it, right?" Su Tang'an said.

"What do you mean?" the queen asked, raising her eyebrows slightly.

"His Royal Highness is the future Son of Heaven and the future monarch of the Great Zhou. Gu Tingjun is the future husband of the courtier, and he is kind to the courtier, and the courtier naturally does not want to betray him, but if he chooses between the family and the country, the courtier will choose the country, and will also exhort him to be loyal to the prince. If he is willing to obey the way of heaven and be loyal to His Highness, then there will be no betrayal. ”

"That's it?" the queen's eyes narrowed slightly, "The prince has promised you other things?"

"The prince did promise the courtiers to be included in the harem in the future, but the courtiers did not dare to have this idea, it was enough to be loyal to His Royal Highness, loyal to the mother, and to be able to ensure the glory of the Marquis of Qi's mansion. Su Juan lowered his eyes and said.

"You said that this Ziwei Palace can speculate on the Mandate of Heaven, why is your master behaving so strangely?" the queen squinted slightly and asked, "But it doesn't seem that you want to be loyal to the future Son of Heaven at all!"

"Doesn't Niangniang believe that His Highness is the destiny of heaven?" asked Su Tang'an.

"Presumptuous! The crown prince has lost the son of the palace, how can the palace not believe him!" the queen said coldly.

"Ziwei Palace is loyal to Your Majesty!" Su Ju'an said, "There is only one person who Master is loyal to now, and that is Your Majesty. His Royal Highness is the future Son of Heaven, the person to whom the Master will be loyal in the future, the rules of Ziwei Palace, and the bottom line of the head of Ziwei Palace. ”

"Hongu knows. The queen rubbed her temples gently, and her face looked very satisfied, if her son is destined to return, then since it is excellent, this Ziwei Palace can spy on the number of lives, this Su Tang'an can spy on one or two, and now it is reasonable to want to speculate, if she can really monitor Gu Tingjun, it is also a good choice, "This palace is also relieved now, you can retreat." ”

"Yes. ”

Su Tang'an retreated.

The queen closed her eyes and gently rubbed her temples, and said, "Bai Rui will come to meet you." ”

After a while, I saw Bai Rui hurrying over, leaning over and saluting, "I've seen the queen." ”

"This palace knows that you and your wife are loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and this palace will definitely not treat you badly. The queen said lightly.

Bai Rui's face was overjoyed, and she hurriedly knelt down and said: "Our husband and wife must swear to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the death, if there are two hearts, there will be no corpse." ”

"Don't worry, as long as you are loyal enough, don't say that the position of the son of this world is the position of the king of Huainan, what about you?" the queen said lightly, "Your Huainan palace will have a new daughter-in-law." ”

"Niangniang is referring to Su Tang'an?"

"You can't control this man's affairs, but the affairs of this Huainan Palace's back house are under your control, and after Su Cheng'an marries into the Gu family, you mention the palace to monitor her well!" The queen said, "Once there is anything that can be done, don't startle the snake, you can report to the palace." ”

"Yes!" Bai Rui nodded, "There is one thing that the courtiers think they should tell their mother, a few days ago, on the birthday of their father, my grandfather also came, and it is said that my grandfather handed over the token of the Tang Sect to Su Cheng'an on the spot. ”

"Oh?" the queen's eyes showed a hint of doubt, "This Su Tang'an is getting more and more difficult. ”

The courtiers also felt that Su Tang'an was very good, and the courtiers would definitely keep an eye on her. Bai Rui said hurriedly.

"If you do a good job, this palace will be rewarded, so let's step back today. The queen said lightly.

"Yes, the courtiers are retired. ”

As soon as Su Tang'an left Biliu Villa, she saw a fast horse hurrying in her direction, and the person on the horse came down eagerly, trotted in front of her, and asked, "Are you okay?"

Su Tang'an glanced at Gu Tingjun and asked, "Why did you come here?"

"I heard that you were called by the queen, and I was very worried, come and see, you are fine. Gu Tingjun said, "The queen didn't embarrass you, did she?"

"Nope. Su Tang'an said lightly, "I made up a story to confuse her, and then promised her to spy on you in the future." ”

"She believes it?" Gu Tingjun asked.

"Believe it. Su Tang'an said, "As long as she has the slightest intention of using me, she will not easily touch me." ”

"That's good. Gu Tingjun took out a pastry wrapped in a brocade from his arms, "You must have not eaten much with your master early this morning to preside over the Spring Festival, right? ”

Su Tang'an picked up a piece casually and asked, "Your Majesty is personally cultivating, won't you be blamed for leaving without permission?"

"I have a way of fooling the past, and you don't have to worry about me. Gu Tingjun said.
