Chapter 257: A Dusty Secret
Hua Luo's original intention was probably to complain about how the empress made things difficult for her, and Zhan Xing just remembered it.
"Anyway, Lizhou and Yinzhou are adjacent to each other, and if you go to Yinzhou to play in the gap between inspecting the people's conditions, you don't think it is considered to be using the public for personal gain, but it can only be said to be incidental."
Hua Luo's eyes lit up: "You still have a way to look at the stars, but even so, even if the queen mother approves it, she won't let Yan Nanxing go with me, so what should I do."
"Then don't let Your Majesty know." Zhanxing continued to give advice to Hua Luo.
"That's what I said, so let's do it."
"I'll go pack your highness's luggage~" Zhanxing volunteered.
"It's not all said, I'll just come by myself."
"Okay, I'll do it for you, and I'll make sure it's cleaned up for you."
"Okay." Hua Luo saw that Zhan Xing insisted repeatedly, so she agreed to come down, and rushed to apply to the empress to go to Lizhou.
The empress looked at the application paperwork, and then looked up at Hua Luo: "Why did you suddenly remember to go to Lizhou?"
The empress's gaze is like a knife that can cut through people's hearts, and the little Jiujiu in her heart must be seen by her.
Hua Luo was afraid that the empress would see through her thoughts, so she said cautiously, "Didn't the queen mother say that her sons were too sittingly enjoying their achievements and didn't think about the people's suffering? Erchen is willing to go to Lizhou to inspect the people's conditions, experience the people's suffering, and hope that the queen mother will be perfect."
"Are you really here to inspect the people?" The empress felt that something was wrong no matter what she thought, when she said Hua Luo before, Hua Luo was still unmoved, and she changed her mind in two days? It's not like the style of the flowers.
"Naturally, how dare the sons deceive the queen mother." Hua Luo said, and looked at the empress very calmly.
Because she knew that if she dared to dodge half a point, the empress would inevitably suspect her.
"Okay, I'll trust you for once." The Empress finally approved.
Hua Luo secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
As soon as the empress put on the seal, she suddenly said to Hua Luo, "You have been very close to Yan Wujian recently."
Not again.
Hua Luo thought silently in her heart, and said with a look of impatience: "Today's marriage certificate has been delivered, maybe he will leave tomorrow, and besides, the son has a righteous and bright marriage contract with him, and it doesn't seem out of place to get along more."
"Prince, don't forget what I taught you before, as a royal family, especially if you are the prince, remember to take too much emotion, this is a big taboo."
The empress hates her children the most, and Asakura is a typical example.
Although the royal family other than the crown prince has no real power in the generation of the empress, and they don't have to worry about national affairs, they sometimes become pawns used by the empress.
After all, they are all useless pendants, and they have to be used to the fullest.
At that time, the empress wanted to marry Asakura to an official surnamed Cao, and Asakura was reluctant to live or die in front of her, crying that she already had a good person.
However, how could the empress's authority be disobeyed by Asakura? After all, her arms couldn't twist her thighs, and Sakura had to marry someone she didn't like, and her sweetheart left her.
Until now, Asakura has been looking for the shadow of her sweetheart in the male waiters, and has done a lot of ridiculous things, and the empress has turned a blind eye all these years, and has never cared about the daughter of Asakura.
But she is extremely disgusted with her in her heart, if Hua Luo also becomes such an emotional person as Sakura, what to pursue for a lifetime and a couple who only loves that one man, she will only feel that it is a failure of her education.
"What does the queen mother want to catch the wind and shadow today?" Hua Luo is very annoyed by the empress's attitude, and she must pay attention to evidence in everything, but the empress is used to chasing the wind and shadows in front of her, and she is seated in the right number.
For example, the empress found that Hua Luo was spending a little more in a certain aspect, and the empress said that Hua Luo wanted to make all the gold and silver mountains and so on, once or twice is fine, but it is really annoying to have more. net
"Whether it's chasing the wind or not, you know it in your heart, prince." Hua Luo was momentarily stunned.
For some reason, in the face of the empress's gaze, she was indeed a little weak-hearted, but the divine emotions that annoyed her prevailed.
"Does the queen mother mean that although he is my fiancé, I can't care, I can't see, and I can't talk to him, so that I can follow the queen mother's will?"
"Prince, I kindly remind you, and I hope you don't act willfully."
"Does the queen mother really think that her son is willful?" Hua Luo asked rhetorically.
"Except for the queen mother, no one seems to think that the son is safe and cautious, why is it that only the queen mother likes to pick bones in eggs?"
"That's because they don't understand you, they don't understand you, and I can't understand you." The empress retorted forcefully.
"It's self-righteous to understand me again." Hua Luo sneered.
"You dare to say I'm self-righteous?"
"Queen Mother, you found my two masters." Hua Luo suddenly remembered the conversation between the senior brother she had met and her.
The empress looked very surprised, she thought that Hua Luo would not know about it.
"You begged Jian Zu for several days before he begged him to accept me as an apprentice, and let him act, pretending to be very close to me to take me as an apprentice, and you have kept me in the dark, why is that?"
The empress didn't expect that Hua Luo knew everything, she looked left and right, fortunately they were all her own people, and they would not pass on the content of their conversation.
"You are the crown prince, you need a good reputation, only if others think that you are favored by the Sword Ancestor and Zhang Hao with your own ability, they will admire you and think that you are a natural emperor."
"So, it's all for the sake of the concave character, isn't it? Queen Mother, are you still waiting for your sons to thank you, waiting for your sons' sword to mature or to be your own mother to understand you, at that time, your sons will regret every time they say disrespectful to their mother, every time they insist on going their own way and acting arbitrarily, they will only be grateful to their mother?"
The empress didn't speak, just looked at Hua Luo quietly.
"Queen Mother, the sons know that you have cultivated your sons very carefully and carefully, for fear that the sons are not worthy of sitting on your throne. But I'm really tired and not happy at all, and besides, some things are wrong, and the mother-daughter relationship and being good for me is not a gold medal for exoneration."
"Perhaps, I will be grateful to you for cultivating me, but I will never regret what I have done, in short, thank you to the queen mother, the son of the minister retired first."
The empress was thoughtful, but for some reason, when she heard Hua Luo's words, she was even more uncomfortable than hearing Hua Luo's disrespectful words against her before, and her heart was full of dark clouds, like a stalk in her throat.
The empress knew that Hua Luo's previous insulting words were nothing more than a child's childish trick.
But this time Hua Luo is so serious and so rational.
The empress kept stroking her chest with her hand, and Lady Guo knew that this was a sign that the empress was feeling extremely depressed before leaving, and suggested softly: "Your Majesty, if you really can't do it, take the advice of the Fourth Highness, and send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince away first." As for the official duties that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to deal with every day, it is nothing to divide them all among the other Highnesses, and only a little for each person."
The empress nodded, in addition to Hua Luo, she had eighteen children, although one died, there were seventeen, if Hua Luo was to be sent to study, seventeen people would take on the official duties that Hua Luo handled on weekdays, which was more than enough.
It's just that she has to bother more.
Anyway, she always felt that Hua Luo's temperament was a little more impetuous.
"Perhaps, the bookish atmosphere of the academy can cultivate her into a down-to-earth and calm person."
Seeing that the empress had just quarreled with Hua Luo, Female Officer Guo was still thinking about Hua Luo, hoping that Hua Luo could become a down-to-earth and calm person, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
"By the way, Your Majesty, there is one thing that the slave maid thinks she should tell Your Majesty."
"What's the matter?" The Empress asked.
Lady Guo hesitated, the reason why she didn't tell the empress for so long was because she was afraid of involving memories that the empress didn't want to touch, but she still had to let the empress know.
"Your Majesty, one day, when the slave maid was resting in the mansion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince found the slave maid."
"What is she looking for you to do in private?" The Empress continued.
"She said something very strange, and asked the slave if she knew Xiaojing." Guo Nu
The official looked at the empress without saying anything.
The empress's hand squeezed the teacup tightly.
"Your Majesty!" Female official Guo exclaimed, it turned out that the empress had crushed the teacup with force, and the fragments were embedded in the skin of the palm, and blood beads the size of beans came out.
Female official Guo hurriedly pressed a handkerchief on the empress's palm to stop the bleeding.
Then, the empress looked at Lady Guo with suspicion: "Did you inadvertently leak the news with her?"
Hearing this, the female official Guo pounced and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid don't dare, the slave and maid have followed Your Majesty for many years, and they have always been tight-lipped about everything. Your Majesty knows it very well."
"Then how did she know about the mirror?" The empress really couldn't understand that the only people who knew about it back then were her and Lady Guo, and everyone else had seen Hades.
Lady Guo expressed her guess: "Your Majesty, the slave maid has an idea."
"Say." The empress was concise and to the point, her fingers tapping on the tabletop, silently venting the irritability in her heart.
"It is said that the fairy eye is not ordinary, it has a lot of mysterious effects, could it be a ghost?"
"However, there was nothing unusual at the time."
At that time, Lady Guo accompanied the empress and gouged out the eyes of the little girl named Xiaojing, who had a pair of fairy eyes, and put them in Hua Luo's eye sockets.
Since then, Hua Luo has become a deaf and clear-eyed child, and has never suffered from eye diseases brought from her mother's womb.
The empress and the female official Guo had seen it in person, and there was indeed no abnormality.
It's just a pair of eyes, can you still come out and be a demon?
Lady Guo was worried: "Your Majesty, if this matter is known to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I am afraid it will ......."
Back then, in order to cure Hua Luo's natural eye disease, the empress tried her best.
As her heir to the throne, how can Hua Luo be blind? Blind people can't do a lot of things.
Later, she discovers that there is no other way but to change her eyes.
But this method is extremely damaging to yin morality, but who made Hua Luo her only biological child, and she can't have another child.
In order to seize the throne and become a Venerable Master, the empress has long cared about the so-called karma, so how can she mind doing one more thing that damages yin and morality?
