Shen Che has always been a king with a lot in mind, and every arrangement he makes will not be unreasonable.

"It is precisely because Uncle Hao Wang is the most difficult to deal with that we have to start with him first. First, it is to prevent Uncle Hao from defecting to the Empress Dowager Qin and posing a threat to us, and secondly, it is to deter other vassal kings, so that they can fear the power of Yiguo and facilitate their future plans. Shen Che explained, "There is also the most important reason, that is, Haoguo is very close to Yiguo, which is convenient for this king to control, if it is too far, in case of extraneous branches, this king is afraid that it will not be able to reach him." ”

In the past, Shen Che would never explain these words to a woman, but now the woman in front of him is not someone else, but Yun Yao, a person who can help him complete his great cause, so he is not stingy.

"I see. The brother of Emperor Hao, who is also the uncle of His Royal Highness and the emperor, is also highly respected and respected in front of several other feudal kings. If you can win the support of King Hao, then it will be easier for other kings to divide the kings. Yun Yao nodded, indicating that she understood.

The four of them sat in the meditation room, but it was just an afternoon of talking and laughing, and a plan to turn the country upside down had been completed. Looking at their calm and breezy attitude, it was as if all this was just eating and drinking.

Shen Che came to Ci'en Temple this time in the name of going to the barren mountain, every time he went to the barren mountain in the past, Shen Che would only stay outside for two days, and then he would leave for Beijing the next day.

This time was no exception, I visited Lu Yingquan in the Temple of Mercy and Grace, and I still had to go to the barren mountain to check on his soldiers and horses, so I couldn't stay for a long time.

So, Gu Qingming also had to follow Shen Che to leave, but he left Sisi and took care of Lu Yingquan here, saying that he was afraid that Yun Yao would not be able to do it alone.

Fortunately, Yun Yao was used to parting, and she secretly told herself in her heart that every time she separated, it was for a better reunion next time. She and Gu Qingming get together less and leave more, but they have the same heart, they both understand their inner thoughts, and they don't feel that such a separation is a pain.

The only hope now is that the world will settle down as soon as possible, and she can live the life she wants.

The Temple of Mercy and Grace has regained its tranquility, with only one more thread and nothing else changing.

However, Sisi's arrival has helped Yun Yao share a lot of things, and the work that was originally meant to be done by her alone is now done by two people. Originally, Lu Yingquan also wanted to help, but Lu Yingquan was pregnant now, and Yun Yao didn't dare to really let her do any work.

"Miss Yun, let me wash all of these. By the stream in the back mountain, Sisi snatched all the clothes in Yun Yao's hand, put them in her basin, and said, "Your Highness sent me here to serve Madame, and to take care of Miss Yun, how can you let Miss Yun do such rough work?"

"The days in the temple are long, and there is nothing to do, and it is not difficult to wash clothes in spring and summer. Yun Yao smiled lightly, "In the past, when I was in Ning Palace, I also did rough work, and my clothes were a hundred times more difficult to wash than this. ”

It was the first time for Sisi to hear Yun Yao take the initiative to mention Ning Palace, and a very curious look flashed in her eyes, so she couldn't help but ask: "Miss Yun, is Ning Palace really as magnificent as the legend? Is it that the ground is made of gold, and every palace is made of green kiln bricks and glazed tiles?"

"Who did you listen to?" Yun Yao couldn't help but chuckle when she heard Sisi's remarks, feeling very incomprehensible.

"The old people of Yiwang Palace all say so, saying that Ning Palace is splendid, and it is many times better than our Yiwang Palace. Sisi tried hard to recall the words of the old people, "The old people also said that the Empress Dowager Jiang and Her Royal Highness advocate simplicity, and the Suochun Terrace and the Guangming Hall have not been repaired once for more than ten years. ”

Yun Yao remembered this, Empress Dowager Jiang also told her in the past, but she didn't care about it at the time, but now that she thinks about it, it seems to be true.

The entire Yiwang Palace does not advocate extravagance, even if it is the most favored concubine in the past, the clothes and clothes on her body have never exceeded her position and grade, and the Empress Dowager Jiang is even more set an example, except for a glazed eight-treasure hairpin rewarded by the first emperor on her head, there are no extra ornaments.

Now that I think about it, Empress Dowager Jiang and Shen Che are still very far-sighted, the so-called hardships are the only ones who are masters, and they can live this simple life for decades, and I think it is also the reason why Yiguo is so politically and harmonious, and the monarch and ministers are single-minded.

"When you have the opportunity, you can go to Ning Palace and see it with your own eyes. Yun Yao said, "If you serve Mrs. Lu well, there will always be such a day." ”

The meaning of the words was a pun, but Yun Yao didn't explain much, after all, it was not yet the time to make extraneous branches.

"Could it be that His Royal Highness wants to take Mrs. Lu to Ning Palace to congratulate Empress Dowager Qin on her birthday?" ”

"Speaking of Mrs. Jiang...... In the more than half a month since we left the palace, nothing important has happened in King Yi's palace, right?" Yun Yao asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that Empress Dowager Jiang mentioned it to Her Royal Highness once, saying that she wanted to make Mrs. Jiang the queen, but Her Highness refused. Sisi said, "His Royal Highness said that he would be canonized after returning from the Ning Palace." ”

Yun Yao's heart moved slightly, and she quickly understood that this was Shen Che's plan to delay the army. If Shen Che really took Jiang Yi to Ning Palace, then it was still unknown whether Jiang Yi could come back, and how could he be canonized as the queen?

"Also, this time, His Royal Highness took me out, and he also hid it from the Queen Mother and Mrs. Jiang, and only the people from Linglong Pavilion knew that I was not there. Sisi continued, "Your Highness has really taken great pains to protect our lady!"

"You now know what Mrs. Lu's weight is in His Royal Highness's heart, so no matter what happens in the future, as long as you don't betray Mrs. Lu and are devoted to her, Mrs. Lu will protect you and make your life in the palace not too sad. Yun Yao took the opportunity to mention it.

There are too many dangers around Lu Yingquan, and there are too few henchmen. She has always been the only one who has been helping Lu Yingquan block all the open guns and arrows, but after all, she is only one person, and sometimes she is lacking in skills, so it is time to find some reliable people for Lu Yingquan to send.

And Sisi is one of this reliable people.

Sisi's loyalty to Lu Yingquan was tested as early as when she dealt with Zhao Meiren in the past, and for such a long time, Lu Yingquan has not been half wronged Sisi, so Sisi will only be more loyal to Lu Yingquan.

What's more, Shen Che is such a cautious and cautious person, since he can personally send Sisi to serve, it means that Sisi has passed his test. The person who can make Shen Che feel at ease to appoint, Yun Yao will naturally not be suspicious anymore.

And Yun Yao's words were heard by Lu Yingquan, who came out to look for them with nothing to do. Lu Yingquan stood there, watching Yun Yao and Sisi chatting while washing clothes, while Yun Yao was mentioning Sisi and asking her not to betray herself.

At that time, Lu Yingquan thought in her heart that the most right thing she had done in her life was to bring Yun Yao back to the house of Langyue Pavilion on that snowy day.

Even if it was the most remote room in Langyue Pavilion, even if it was the coldest place in this Ning Palace, even if they were the lowest-level rough envoy palace maids, it was also because of that handful of silver silk charcoal that warmed Yun Yao's heart and gave her a good sister who would never give up.

"You guys have a good chat, if you don't go back for a long time, are you arranging my master behind your back?" Lu Yingquan walked out from behind the tree and joked with them with a smile.

"Why did Madame come out? She is still pregnant! How can she come out and walk around alone?" Sisi was shocked when she saw Lu Yingquan, and she hurriedly got up to help her.

"I'm not that fragile yet, and Yun Yao also said that walking around properly while pregnant is also good for the body. Lu Yingquan said disapprerovingly, "Besides, I didn't bump into it, occasionally I had a fetal gas, with Yun Yao, the miracle doctor, you are simply worried!"

While speaking, Lu Yingquan waved his hand as if unintentionally, and didn't take it to heart.

Looking at her movements and expression, Yun Yao seemed to feel that Lu Yingquan had returned to the innocent age of the past, living a chic and casual life in the Ning Palace, flamboyant and bright.

Sure enough, when he left the palace, even the air was the freshest, and Lu Yingquan no longer had to hide it like in the past, and he could release his nature to the fullest.

Sisi was afraid that Lu Yingquan would go back to the meditation room alone, so she helped Lu Yingquan to sit down on a relatively flat stone by the stream, and helped her put a few clothes on it as a cushion.

There is no intrigue, there is no deceit, there are only two or three confidants, and they can no longer find any troubles when they smile comfortably in this Hui Feng and Chang.

Yun Yao and Sisi were naturally not idle in their hands and continued to wash clothes, but they were also afraid that Lu Yingquan would feel uncomfortable if he stayed outside for a long time, so the movements in their hands also accelerated.

But after a while, a small novice not far away hurriedly ran over and said to Lu Yingquan: "Master Lu, someone from the temple has come to the temple, saying that he wants to see you." The master was ordered by His Royal Highness to protect the benefactor, and he didn't dare to lead the person to the Bamboo Pavilion, so he asked the person to wait in the main hall, and specially ordered me to inform the donor. ”

"Is there someone from the temple? Not His Highness?" Lu Yingquan was a little surprised when he heard this.

Thinking about it, Shen Che only left this Temple of Mercy and Grace a few days ago, how could he come again in just a few days? What's more, Shen Che also knew that the overall situation was important, and it was impossible for him to come over now.

And the person who didn't even let Master Baoxin in must not be a familiar person.

"Little master, is the person who is here a man or a woman, and what does it look like?" Yun Yao thought for a moment before asking.

"It's a young and beautiful woman, the master said to look at the dress, it's from the palace, and there is a little maid and two little eunuchs by her side. The little novice said truthfully.

Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao glanced at each other, and seemed to see a look of understanding in each other's eyes.

came from the palace, with the palace maid and the eunuch, there is no doubt that the identity must be the master, and the four words young and beautiful explain her identity - Jiang Yi.

"The little master went to report to Master Baoxin, and said that Mrs. Lu would come to meet the guest immediately. Yun Yao thought slightly, as if she had thought of something, so she asked this little novice.
