Looking forward to returning, the imposing Korean Mrs. Han, with her only son-

knocked his chin, was bandaged by the imperial doctor, but was still bleeding, and had to hold a handkerchief to cover Cheng Jiao, His Royal Highness Cheng Er made a dazzling appearance.

Mrs. Han's earrings flew up.

When she saw Yingzi Chu on the collapse, she pulled Cheng Jiao and knelt down.

Qi Ran said: "The concubine and Jiao'er are together to meet the king." ”

Ying Zichu was puzzled: "It's not just now, I just saw it... Ahem, ahem... Have you ever seen a widow? ”

Seeing Cheng Jiao with tears in his eyes and covering his mouth with a handkerchief, he paused, "What's going on?" ”

Mrs. Han's tears instantly spewed out like a waterfall, "King, you have to be the master of the concubine and Jiao'er." ”

"It doesn't matter if the concubine suffers some bullying in this deep palace, after all, she is just a lady, and it will be over if she grits her teeth, but Cheng Jiao, Cheng Jiao is innocent, he is your son of the king, the grandson of the queen mother, this king you and the queen mother are still there, and someone openly harms Jiao'er, the king! Even if the concubine gives up her life today, she must seek justice for Jiao'er! ”

Cheng Jiao also gave his strength, and then cried with his throat at the top of his voice, "Woo woo woo wow, father, mother, father woo woo." ”

This mother shouted naturally Mrs. Han of South Korea, and Zhao Ji, as the queen, turned pale in an instant.

Ying Zichu saw the injured youngest son, and said distressedly: "Jiao'er, tell your father, how did you get hurt?" ”

"Father, it was he who pushed me, and he pushed me."

Cheng Jiao's eyes were shining with tears, his tone was immature, and his speech was vague, as if he wanted to express Fang Cai's affairs clearly.

He pointed at Ying Zheng and said, "He just pushed my back with his hand, and I fell to my chin, woo woo, father." ”

"Woooooo Your Majesty, openly pushing the younger brother, what kind of heart is this, woo woo, you have to be the master of the concubine and Jiao'er. ”

Mrs. Han also cried.

A mother and a son cried without stopping, and they didn't even cry and burp.

Ying Zichu's face was dripping, and he looked at his eldest son Ying Zheng, "Zheng'er, cough cough, what Mrs. Han said is true, you pushed the younger brother with your own hands?" ”

Ying Zhengli's straight stroke, although he is a young man's figure, but the back curve is extremely clear.

His contemplation is very different from Cheng Jiao, who is only three years younger and crying incessantly.

"If you want to add sin, there is no excuse."

Ying Zichu's eyes flashed with appreciation, "Go out and kneel, wait for when Mrs. Han will forgive you, and when will you get up." ”

At this order, Mrs. Han's face changed slightly, Cheng Jiao didn't understand, and only looked at her mother while crying.

Zhao Ji didn't know anything about the relationship, but she just knew that punishing Yingzheng was punishing her, and she had grown Mrs. Han's prestige in vain.

What's more, it is biased to make a conclusion about the younger brother's matter in a few words.

Zhao Ji said indignantly: "Your Majesty, Zheng'er's temperament and concubines know that they can't do this kind of thing. ”

"Then I misjudged this justice?"

Ying Zichu gambled back with a word, and Zhao Ji was speechless.

His face softened slightly, patted her soft hair, and said to Mrs. Han and Cheng Jiao who were kneeling below: "Take Cheng Jiao back, there is so much blood, cough cough, cough cough, you have to take care of your injuries, don't come out and walk around." ”

Mrs. Han hit her head on the ground: "Yes, the concubine obeys the king's orders." ”

Ying Zheng also bowed, went out and knelt, Bai Tao saw Brother Zheng go out and followed him closely.

The room was instantly less than half a person, and it became spacious.

Ying Zichu held Zhao Ji's soft and closed her eyes, Zhao Ji looked at him like this, her heart was like falling on the edge of a cliff, she couldn't fall off, and she didn't have a head.

She had to shed tears in her eyes.

Ying Zichu opened her eyes and stretched out her fingertips to brush away her wet sideburns, "Don't worry, even if I leave, cough cough cough.... There is also Xiang Bang, who is resourceful and has special talents, and he has done his best for me, which can be of great use. ”

"You are not the opponent of the Empress Dowager Huayang, and you can't fight Mrs. Han, this upper-level entanglement and resentment have been around for a long time, you should find Xiangbang for ideas in everything, rely on him more, cough, don't be rash."

Zhao Ji couldn't speak, just shook his head, "No, no, your king will live a long life." ”

"That's a lie."

Ying Zichu's tone floated, "Ahem.. The child who came in with Zheng'er just now is called Bai Tao. ”

Zhao Zheng wiped his tears and said, "Yes." ”

"It's a pleasing child, Zheng'er likes him too, cough cough, he often comes to my dormitory with white peaches to worship, the widow can understand Zheng'er's intentions, cough cough."

Yingzi Chu sighed, "The left and right are just an orphan girl, and her brother's whereabouts are unknown to save Zheng'er, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky." ”

"You must consider her your own, and take care of her. This is also what the widow can do. ”

"That kid, the concubine also likes it."

Zhao Ji was busy and relieved, "Your Majesty, you are not feeling well, it is important to recuperate now, this matter must be done by the concubine, you should rest." ”

Ying Zichu's eyelids moved, and his eyes were closed again.

The white peach outside was kneeling with Ying Zheng.

There was a fireball-like sun hanging in the sky, and the ground was so hot that people couldn't stand.

Even the pot-bellied crickets are jumping around as if they are spring-mounted.

The scorching temperature makes people sweat like rain when they stand outside for a while.

Bai Tao held a tung oil umbrella, held up a shady ground for the kneeling Ying Zheng, and when he saw the sun setting in the west, he said: "Brother Zheng, if I don't get you a soft cushion, kneeling like this, I don't know when that Mrs. Han will be able to dissipate her anger, obviously you are wronged, how can King Qin be like this, he is eccentric, hum." ”

Ying Zheng pursed her lips: "It's better for Mrs. Han to make trouble than for the Empress Dowager Huayang." ”

He said softly, "Taotao, it's hot outside, you go back to avoid the yin first." ”

"Don't."

Bai Tao shook his head, "You will think of me if you have any good things, you are so good to me, you are suffering now, and I will also suffer with you, otherwise I will be a little conscienceless, and I will stumble when I think about it." ”

The corners of Ying Zheng's lips pressed down, and he deliberately said with a straight face: "It's not peaceful outside the palace, if you don't play outside and run outside, you are suffering with me." ”

Bai Tao wanted to cover her head: "If you don't listen, you don't listen." ”

Ying Zheng said again: "Then I just want to tell you, can you leave?" ”

Bai Tao stomped his foot, "Don't go, it's a big deal that you said you, I just went in my left ear and went out in my right ear, and I haven't heard it that way." ”

He couldn't cry or laugh: "You have this temperament, you have to meet me." ”

"What kind of temperament?" White Peach muttered.

Yingzheng was about to answer, when an old palace maid came next to him.

The old palace maid has white sideburns and a little black mole under her lips, which looks scathing.

She saw Ying Zheng who was kneeling and Bai Tao next to her, and said, "Mrs. Han has a letter, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can get up, His Royal Highness the Prince, the Queen has an invitation, please come with the old slave." ”

Yingzheng got up, but he knelt still, his knees were unconscious, stiff and numb.

His body shook a few times, Bai Tao helped him, and said like a little adult, "If you want to get up in such a hurry, it's okay now, you don't want to go in your left ear and out of your right ear, learn from me." ”

He touched the two bags bulging above her head, and said in a low voice: "Okay, if I don't learn from you, Taotao, you go back first, and the queen mother has something to do with me." ”

"Okay."

Bai Tao obediently nodded, and looked at his departing back.

After Yingzheng completely disappeared, she also went out of the palace, but she didn't expect an old palace maid to stop her when she went out, "This is the little master of the white peach, the Empress Dowager Huayang is invited." ”

Changle Palace.

The pearls inside are the curtains, and the crystals are the lamps.

The gold bottle plate placed on the table, the jade light cup is illuminated by the candle flame.

The Empress Dowager Huayang's skirt was spread on the ground, and the octagonal palace lamp placed in her sprinkled a hazy yellow light, which seemed quiet and mysterious and untouchable.

When Bai Tao came in, the fox fur all over her body was straightened out, "The folk girl Bai Tao pays a visit to the Queen Mother." ”

Her delicate and soft voice permeated the hall, and the Empress Dowager Huayang, who was sitting on the table, moved her eyes to her.

Empress Dowager Huayang touched the turquoise jewel jade buckle she was wearing on her chest and said, "Come up and sit." ”

"No." Bai Tao stepped up the jade steps one by one and sat opposite Mrs. Huayang.

The rich aroma hit, and Bai Tao sat on the futon and saw a few cups of ice drinks placed on the long table.

Mrs. Huayang said: "I heard that there is a shortage of ice in your palace, and the sub-cases are used up, right?" ”

The things in this palace still can't be hidden from Mrs. Huayang's eyeliner.

Bai Tao nodded, "Yes, but Uncle Lu said that he will send private ice tomorrow, he is a good person." ”

"In the end, he was born as a businessman, and as a prime minister, he can't change his true character as a businessman."

Mrs. Huayang smiled slightly, "Child, the old woman has an ice drink here, which is much better than Xiangbang's, what about you, do you drink it or not?" ”

"Why don't you drink the Queen Mother's reward."

Bai Tao did not hesitate, held the jade light cup and drank half of it, and said with big eyes, "Niangniang's things, they are very delicious." ”

"Okay."

Mrs. Huayang smiled, "Good boy, it's a pity that the old woman doesn't have a son and a half daughter, if she has, she should be as clever and pleasing as you." ”

Bai Tao said: "Isn't there still Brother Zheng, he is the eldest grandson of the Queen Mother, your in-laws, and he is connected by blood." ”

Mrs. Huayang's eyes were smoothed out when she smiled, "It's just the eldest grandson who stays in a foreign country, and where can he get close to the old woman, don't mention it." ”

"That's no, Brother Zheng is very affectionate."

Bai Tao told the experience of fleeing with Yingzheng, "Even if I was unconscious, he didn't leave me, he was still old, he escaped from the icy and snowy mountains with me, and pulled out the spies who were ambushed on the border of Qin and Zhao." ”

"The spies and barbarians don't have horses, so there must be only one way to die, and he is also strong in martial arts, he can beat three with one punch."

Mrs. Huayang: "Oh? Is this really the case? ”

"yes, yes."

Bai Tao poured the good words out and poured them into a basket, "It's just that the Queen Mother and Brother Zheng are unfamiliar now, and this matter is actually inevitable." ”

"Brother Zheng, he is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, as long as he speaks, he will be as filial to the Queen Mother as the king."

The girl talked eloquently, for fear that she wouldn't believe it, and when she was in a hurry, she made a gesture with her little hands.

"I told him about the Queen Mother, and he said that he admired and appreciated his grandmother, if it weren't for his grandmother, he wouldn't be where he is today."

Mrs. Huayang gently put her eyes together: "It's hard to say all the good things for him for you, it's not too early, you can go back." ”

Bai Tao didn't know if this was effective, but it was better to say it than not to say it, she bowed solemnly, "Queen Mother, Bai Tao retires." ”

The man left, and a man appeared in the dark room next to him.

He is the younger brother of Mrs. Huayang, the nobleman of the Chu State, and the Yangquan Jun Michen.

He is tall, with figure-eight eyebrows and a very heavy forehead tattoo.

When he came out, his brows were furrowed into the word "Chuan", and his face was furrowed, "Ah Zi, you just let her go back?" ”

Mrs. Huayang didn't look back: "Otherwise? ”

Mi Chen was anxious, "It's not that we want to say it, we want to blackmail that orphan girl and force her to accuse Ying Zheng of not being born to King Qin, and she is the son of Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei." ”

"The government is basically controlled by us, no matter whether it is true or false, no one can say a word."

"At that time, Zhao Ji Yingzheng and Lu Buwei will be implicated, the king is now seriously ill, and when the dynasty is changing, who still weighs the orthodox bloodline? Sister, you are confused! ”

Mrs. Huayang: "Hmph, you promised, but the old woman didn't agree." ”

Her eyes flashed with the insight tempered in her court career, and her hair, which was combed with oil, had climbed to the white frost, but her face was graceful and luxurious, and the wind and frost could not erode her.

"Confused or not, the old woman is getting older, sometimes she is a little confused, but the old woman will never forget that the old woman is the widow of the first king, and she is the orthodox Empress Dowager of Huayang in Great Qin!"

The temple was silent for a moment.

Mi Chen stood on the stone steps, looked at her and said: "However, if Yingzheng ascends the throne, this son is obedient and paranoid, with a strong temperament, and he is an unusual young man, I am afraid that it will be difficult to control, but Cheng Jiao is not, Cheng Jiao has been under the knee of his sister since he was a child, and I can see it as a younger brother, he is just young now, and he is a little useless, but he has to be given a chance, right?" ”

"Sister, one wrong step and one wrong step, if Yingzheng makes trouble after ascending to the throne, I'm afraid it will be too late in the future! In the Qin State, there is still a foothold for our surname Chu! ”

Mrs. Huayang: "What is the use of Cheng Jiao?" The old woman watched him grow up, and he was filial to be a grandson, but being a prince was much worse. ”

She continued to say coldly, "The beautiful jade is carved, and the tribulation is an adult. ”

"You don't have to think that the old woman is deaf and blind, what kind of person is Yingzheng, the old woman can find out clearly."

"The orphan girl just said, Yingzheng attaches great importance to love and righteousness, her mouth can be fake, her eyes can't pretend to be anywhere, the old woman is his grandmother, you are his uncle, it is also a sure thing, even if our Chu family loses the glory of the day, it will not be far behind!"

Mi Chen wanted to say again: "But after all—"

"Hmph, don't think that the old woman doesn't know what you're thinking."

Mrs. Huayang interrupted him impatiently: "How much ability to do such big things, how big a head and how big a hat to wear, it is Xiangbang's talent to learn above you, are you jealous?" Are you resentful? ”

"You want to destroy it and replace it, and the old woman will tell you now, how you make a stumbling block is your business."

"But the establishment of the prince is a matter of the temple and a matter of the society, you must not go against the overall situation and vent your personal anger!"

The selfishness in Mi Chen's heart was punctured one after another, and he lowered his head in shame, "But, but Xiangbang is raising a guest in the Qin State, and it is really difficult to restrain it, and the limelight is too strong, not to mention that I heard that he is going to compile a national book, it seems to be called "Lu's Spring and Autumn"!" ”

"What are you anxious about? Most of the ones that rise up don't have any good fruit to eat. ”

Mrs. Huayang walked into the inner room, "You wait and see, in less than ten years." ”
