Early the next morning.

The two people on the phoenix collapsed woke up one after another...

Xu Boqing touched the heavenly spirit of the beautiful woman in his arms, thinking that the Queen Mother was so moist, if she could fit the edict of the water god and enter the priesthood, it would be a good thing.

But no matter how much you try, the water god talisman didn't give the slightest response, which seemed to indicate that it didn't fit with it...

Don't... Run is talent?

"How?"

Seeing that he frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something, Empress Dowager Chen was like a kitten, rubbing his hand gently, and said in a teasing tone: "It's only been half a year out of the palace, and I can't recognize the mourning family?" ”

"Nothing..."

Xu Boqing changed his sleeping position to facilitate playing with the snow in his hand, and then sighed: "After wandering outside for many days, I came back to know that Cining Palace, where there is a mother, is the destination." ”

"Thief ......"

Empress Dowager Chen was overjoyed in her heart...

Then I thought that I hadn't seen this thief for half a year, and I didn't know how many debts he had caused outside.

couldn't help but lean over and bite him on the shoulder, and said angrily: "As for your bane, the mourning family doesn't believe that you haven't messed with flowers and grass outside, and you are looking for another home." ”

"That lady really misunderstood me..."

Xu Boqing's heart jumped, and he hurriedly said: "I have been eating and living with the subordinates of the West Factory outside, and I have tried my best to play the role of a good eunuch. ”

"You're going to say something nice."

Although Empress Dowager Chen was happy when she heard this, she still snorted arrogantly, pretending not to believe it.

"Don't believe me?"

Xu Boqing raised his eyebrows, and then leaned into her ear and whispered: "It is difficult for a small empty mouth and white teeth to prove their innocence, so I can only bother the mother to check the small inventory to see if the amount is less." ”

After that, I want to roll over and get up...

"I believed, I mourned..."

When Empress Dowager Chen heard this, her frightened face turned pale, and when she saw that he had the intention of turning over to prove herself, she hurriedly held him down, and said coquettishly as if begging for mercy: "No need to prove it, the mourning family really believes it..."

"Hahahaha..."

Xu Boqing pecked her on the forehead, and then she was satisfied and lay down again...

And Empress Dowager Chen also leaned over into his arms with a smile, and muttered: "Are you tired outside?" ”

"It's okay..."

Xu Boqing thought about it for a while, and then smiled: "In addition to often thinking of the tenderness of the mother, it is not tired..."

The corners of Empress Dowager Chen's lips were slightly hooked, and then she seemed to think of something, and asked, "By the way, have you finished handling everything outside?" Why did you suddenly go back to the palace? ”

"Nope..."

"Huh?"

She stood up in disbelief and asked, "Then you came back because you received that letter?" ”

"Sort of..."

Xu Boqing pulled her back into his arms, played with the snow in his hand, and said: "There was some accident on the road, and I happened to see Niangniang's sorrow in the letter, so I rushed back." ”

He seemed to have thought of something, and asked in a hurry: "By the way, why did Niangniang suddenly want to help Empress Zhang?" ”

"The emperor was obsessed with cultivating immortals and asked, whether he asked or not, in order to avoid suspicion, his biological father didn't even want to see each other, and the mourning family also looked at their mother and son pitiful."

Empress Dowager Chen seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said with a somewhat lonely expression: "The mourning family was only thirteen years old when they were selected to enter the palace...

is also like the current Empress Zhang, who was avoided by her mother's family, and was helpless when she entered the palace, so she had some compassion..."

"Mother's maiden family?"

Xu Boqing was slightly stunned...

Then I remembered that I had been serving in Cining Palace for almost two years, and I only knew that the Queen Mother's real name was Chen Yuerong, and I really hadn't heard the Queen Mother mention her relatives.

"yes?"

Empress Dowager Chen couldn't help but smile when she saw his stunned appearance, and then said, "What, are you curious?" ”

"It's a little ......"

Xu Boqing bowed his head slightly and said: "Niangniang has a gentle personality and treats people kindly, but as Niangniang's pillow person, I don't know much about Niangniang's past, so I am naturally curious." ”

"It's been more than 20 years, and there's not much to say about the past..."

Empress Dowager Chen just smiled, pondered for a while and said: "The mourning family was originally after Chen Hong, the prince of Dingguo, and more than twenty years ago, the position of General Xuanwu was the father of the mourning family.

At that time, the father of the mourning family held the military power and was stationed on the frontier, and he was the leader of the Great Liang Wuxun...

However, the military power in his hands is too heavy, and he has troops outside, it is inevitable that he will be remembered by the people in the court, and there are many people who impeach and admonish, so he will naturally be suspicious of the first emperor...

The father of the mourning family was relieved of his military power, and as compensation, the mourning family, who was the daughter of the Duke of Dingguo, was elected to the palace...

At that time, the mourning family was still young, and I didn't know what it meant to avoid suspicion, so I wrote a lot of letters back, but I didn't receive a letter from home, and then I slowly learned what it meant to avoid suspicion. ”

Her voice paused, and then she said inexplicably: "After many years of separation, I have never been in contact, and even when my father died, no one came to inform me...

Thinking about it, more than 20 years have passed now, maybe no one in Dingguogong's line remembers that there is still a mourning family. ”

“……”

Xu Boqing was silent, and he didn't know how to comfort him for a while.

"The mourning family has long seen it..."

Empress Dowager Chen smiled, stroked his cheek and said gently: "In addition to seeing their mother and son pitiful, the mourning family wants to help Empress Zhang, in fact, there is also your reason..."

"I ...... My reason? ”

Xu Boqing was slightly stunned, and then seemed to think of something, and said with a sneering expression: "There is really nothing between me and Queen Zhang, the mistake I made last time was completely because I understood what you mean by the wrong mother."

And I told her afterwards.

She is still Queen Zhang of Kunning Palace, and I am still the chief eunuch of Cining Palace. ”

"Hehehehe..."

Empress Dowager Chen originally had a stiff face, but she couldn't hold back her laughter when she explained, and then explained: "What the mourning family said is not about this. ”

"That's ......"

"You are a mourning man!"

"Huh?"

Xu Boqing was stunned by this sudden 'confession', and before he could speak, he saw her with a tense face and added: "So the mourning family doesn't want you to follow in the footsteps of Mr. Huang." ”

“……”

"Sending charcoal in the snow is far more useful than icing on the cake."

Empress Dowager Chen analyzed: "Although the mourning family is in the deep palace, they also know that now the position of the prince is vacant, and the second prince and the third prince are competing for this position...

The mourning family knows that you are superb in martial arts and do not value power, but as the overseer of Xichang, it is impossible for you to remain neutral all the time in this competition for the position of prince...

It's what you want to keep...

Others will force you to make a choice.

And Empress Zhang and the eldest prince Zhu Hong are struggling, if they can help them at this time, they will definitely be able to earn a lot of favors.

You are the chief manager of Cining Palace, and you are the person of the mourning family, even if the position of the prince is taken away by the second prince and the third prince, they will not make it too difficult for us in the future.

And if Zhu Hong fights for strength and can slowly recover his vitality and regain the position of the prince, then this favor will be magnified many times invisibly, and it can even be said that it is not an exaggeration to be from the dragon's work.

It's a sure investment...

Moreover, my sister of the Zhang family just looks clever and cold, in fact, she has no scheming means at all, and now she has lost her backbone in a panic...

Such people... It's also easy to control.

Now you and Xichang help their mother and son, if Zhu Hong sits in that position in the future, if nothing else, he will rely on this credit......"

Her voice paused, as if she had thought of something interesting, and then she smiled and leaned into Xu Boqing's ear, and said with a sigh: "The mourning family is to give you a child, it's okay..."

“……”

When Xu Boqing heard this, his breathing was stagnant, and the rate of his heart beating was a little faster...

Empress Dowager Chen stuck to him, and naturally she could feel the changes in him, and said with a smile: "Little thief, do you think you should help their mother and son?" ”

"Help! Gotta help!

”

Xu Boqing raised his eyebrows and hugged the beautiful woman in his arms on himself, because the Queen Mother had the word 'run' by her side, it was easy to put it in the right place.

With bursts of exclamation, he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you have children or not, the main thing is that I am a vulgar person, so I like to be the backbone of others!"

”
