After the meeting, it was not only Gu Lingxu who was unhappy, but Emperor Yuan Jia was also unhappy. He really didn't expect Gu Lingxu to be such a stubborn and ignorant person.

Trade is a national policy, and the decree has long been made clear, but can he not change it because of one or two sentences? These people all talk about righteousness, and their eyesight has never had him as an emperor. His throne is already unstable, if the order changes every day, then what kind of emperor is it?

The emperor was depressed, and before he could wait for Jiang Muyi, who was meeting the conclusion, someone came to spread the word that Xingqing Palace was invited.

The Zhou family held his own merits, and Emperor Yuan Jia was very dissatisfied with it. However, the Queen Mother has always been quiet and worshiping the Buddha, living in a simple place, and she is also kind to him, in contrast, he is still very satisfied with the Queen Mother. Now that I heard the queen mother's invitation, I also packed up my emotions and went to Xingqing Palace.

In the past, Xingqing Palace was always full of sandalwood and Sanskrit sounds, revealing a solemn atmosphere of Buddhism. Today, however, it is unusual.

I can't tell if it's different there, but it's like it's different everywhere. It's like a spring day, sweeping away the haze of national mourning.

"Queen Mother." Emperor Yuan Jia was very respectful.

The Queen Mother smiled kindly, and she hurriedly said, "Holy Sitting." ”

Emperor Yuan Jia nodded.

"The mourning family has made a few new pastries here, and I specially invite the saint to come up and taste them." After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she glanced at Mama Tian, who nodded and retreated.

The Empress Dowager summoned Emperor Yuan Jia and never talked about state affairs, and Emperor Yuan Jia always stayed relaxed in the Empress Dowager's place. Although the queen spoke softly, after he ascended the throne, the two met mostly around state affairs, so that he sometimes looked at the queen as if he was looking at a courtier, which was not very interesting.

The pastry is presented by someone, but the person who presents the pastry is not an ordinary palace maid, but a girl with a delicate complexion.

Although Emperor Yuanjia had to keep filial piety for three years, the ordinary people were in a state mourning. Zhou Lingwen was dressed in a goose-yellow cross-collared shirt, a moon-white ruyi pattern skirt, an apricot shawl, and a lily bun, and the girl's delicate spirit was undoubtedly revealed.

But she has a plump figure and a gorgeous appearance. There is also a charming color - this is Emperor Yuanjia's favorite appearance.

She came with pastries in hand. Almost as soon as it appeared, Emperor Yuan Jia couldn't take his eyes off.

"Holy Lord, please use it." Zhou Lingwen not only has outstanding appearance, but also has a very good voice, like a yellow warbler out of the valley, crisp and tactful.

"Queen Mother...... It's ......"

Empress Dowager Zhou smiled, "This is the third daughter of the mourning brother, and her name is Lingwen." Ling Wen, I haven't seen the saint yet. ”

Zhou Lingwen understood and hurriedly saluted.

"Three ladies, please get up." Emperor Yuan Jia said busily.

The Queen Mother saw Emperor Yuan Jia's intent, secretly satisfied, she looked at Zhou Lingwang, Zhou Lingwang understood, and hurriedly retreated.

"Eh-" Emperor Yuan Jia frowned, he looked at the Queen Mother in confusion, but he couldn't ask anything, he only felt that the beauty seemed to be carrying a hook, which made him lose his soul.

The Queen Mother didn't know, she pointed to the categorical pastry on the table, "Taste it." ”

Emperor Yuan Jia didn't know what to say, so he picked up a piece of pastry at random, but as soon as he ate it, his eyes lit up, "This...... It's ......"

"The mourning family asked someone to go to Liangzhou to inquire, and I heard that Princess Xianliang often made concubine cakes from time to time. It just so happens that Sanniang is best at making concubine cakes, so please come up and taste it, I don't know what the saint thinks? The Queen Mother asked with a smile.

Emperor Yuan Jia's heart rose a little faintly moved, "It's excellent." The three ladies are beautiful and the pastries are also very good. It is really a person as his name suggests, 'such as a ghost, such as Zhang, so that the news is hopeful'. ”

The mourning family also felt that Ling Wen was a good boy. In fact, inviting the saint to come forward today, in addition to inviting the saint to taste the cake, is also a thing. ”

"Queen Mother, please speak."

"The saint wants to keep filial piety for the first emperor, and in the short term, the mourning family is afraid that there will be no blessing for the grandson, and the mourning family will be empty on his knees. After a long day of loneliness, I thought about leaving Ling Wen in the palace for some time and being lonely for a while. What does the Holy One think? ”

The queen mother is different from the palace concubine, the queen mother wants to keep her niece in the palace, just take it in, why bother to go around this circle to ask for the emperor's consent.

But the Queen Mother deliberately asked, where is this to ask for Emperor Yuanjia's consent. This is clearly intended to introduce people to Emperor Yuanjia. It's just that because Emperor Yuanjia still has to keep filial piety, it is inconvenient to say it clearly.

Liu Xuanruo has just been sent out of the palace, and he has to keep filial piety for three more years, and now he sees that the Queen Mother wants to send him a beauty, how can he not want to. Although this beauty can be seen and eaten, a beauty is a beauty, and it is pleasing to the eye just by looking at it, which is better than nothing.

"I am busy with state affairs, and the queen has to manage the huge harem, if the third lady can be by the queen mother's side, it is also for me to do filial piety, there is nothing wrong with it." Emperor Yuan Jia said busily.

The Queen Mother's eyes were deep, and she said with a smile: "Since this is the case, this matter is so decided." ”

……

Even if Rongzhi hung up the lottery the day before, he still had to go to work on the second day. He went to the post house early in the morning, checked the roster under heavy pressure, and when he saw the name Zhao Yu, Rong Zhi was stunned.

"The Zhao family was forcibly recruited by Young Eunuch Chen, and now she can return home, why doesn't she return?" Rong Zhi was puzzled.

The little official shook his head, bluntly saying that he didn't know.

Rong Zhi lowered his eyes, and after checking the roster, he went to the room where Zhao Yu lived.

When Rong Zhi came, just after lunch, Rong Zhi watched the maid send out the intact meals one by one, his face was surprised, and he couldn't help asking, "Zhao Niangzi is useless?" ”

The maid nodded, "Not only for lunch, but also for breakfast, there is no rice and water." ”

Rong Zhi frowned, "But what happened?" ”

The maid shook her head, "I don't know, I just know that the lady seems to have gone out yesterday, and when she came back, she closed the door and didn't see anyone." Xu is what happened, the maid looked at it, as if she had cried. ”

Rong Zhi frowned slightly, and then walked in with someone.

When he entered, Zhao Yu was sitting on the Luohan bed with her chin propped up, the whole person was stunned, her eyes were slightly red, and there were tears hanging on her eyelashes, so pitiful.

The good family who chose to stay was going to the imperial tomb to pray for blessings, so the clothes and hair accessories were very simple, but Zhao Yu was dressed plain today, as if she was keeping filial piety for someone.

Seeing someone coming in, Zhao Yu hurriedly wiped her tears and saluted again.

"This official Rongzhi is the imperial history of the dynasty, and he is entrusted by the Holy Lord to deal with this matter." Rongzhi's tone is gentle.

When she heard Rong Zhi's identity, Zhao Yu's face changed, it seemed that because she was young and didn't know how to control her expression, she could only keep her head down to hide the resentment on her face. She almost bit the words and said: "I don't know if Rong Yushi is coming, what is the so-called thing?" ”

But even though all this did not escape Rong Zhi's eyes, he pretended not to know, and asked: "I heard that Mrs. Zhao was forcibly recruited by Chen Run, and now that she is benevolent, she can be returned home, why doesn't Mrs. Zhao return?" ”

"Holy ...... Holy benevolence, concubine wishes...... I am willing to enter the palace to serve. Her voice trembled slightly, and her words seemed to be made up after thinking for a while.

Rong Zhi narrowed his eyes, if it was normal, he might still be able to believe it, but the woman in front of him behaved like this, he didn't believe it.

Is there anything else that can't be hidden?

Next, Rong Zhi asked a few more words, but no matter how he asked, Zhao Yu said just a few words, and he didn't want to reveal the rest.

In the end, Rong Zhi sighed and left the house, and when he was about to go out, he suddenly turned around, just in time to collide with Zhao Yu's resentful gaze. Frightened, Zhao Yu hurriedly withdrew her gaze.

Rongji still turned a blind eye and quickened his pace. After leaving the room, he faintly heard the sound of a woman crying in the room.
