Zhen Guogong said in a calm tone: "I know that you are my own sister. ”

"Now that you know, what did you do?" Empress Xie could no longer control the anger and unwillingness in her heart, "You know what I asked Xie Shi to go to Yangzhou to quell the turmoil, but what did you do?" ”’

In the face of Xiaomei's anger, Zhen Guogong still said calmly: "Tell you, will you still let Xie Shi go to Yangzhou?" ”

"Of course!" Empress Xie said very firmly, "I won't let Xie Shi ruin the emperor's plan!" ”

"And then?" Zhen Guogong asked rhetorically.

Empress Xie was stunned by Zhen Guogong's rhetorical question, "What?"

Zhen Guogong looked at Empress Xie and did not speak.

Empress Xie was slightly stunned and then reacted to what Zhen Guogong meant just now, and her face became even more ugly.

"Big brother, I am the sister of your mother!" She gritted her teeth and said, "I am the concubine of the Xie family, and Xie Wan is just the concubine of the Xie family!" ”

The yelled Zhen Guogong still looked as usual: "She is your sister." ”

"She's not, she's not worthy!" Empress Xie said with a distorted expression, "What qualifications does she have as a concubine to be my sister!" ”

In front of Zhenguo Gong, Empress Xie never concealed her jealousy of the former empress.

"She is the concubine of the Xie family, but she is also your eldest sister."

"She's not." Empress Xie sneered, "She is a lowly concubine, what qualifications does she have to be my sister!"

"No matter how much you deny it, you can't change the fact that she is your eldest sister." Zhen Guogong frowned slightly, and said with a somewhat dissatisfied expression, "Also, her status is not lowly, she is the queen of the Great Zhou, and she is the queen respected by the emperor." Zhen Guogong has always known where his little sister's pain is, and the last sentence was deliberately said by him.

Sure enough, Zhen Guogong's last sentence stabbed Queen Xie fiercely, and her expression instantly became hideous.

"If it weren't for my young age, how could she, Xie Wan, a lowly concubine, be qualified to marry the emperor and be the queen of the world?"

"If it weren't for her, our Xie family wouldn't be able to marry the Zhao family." Zhen Guogong said indifferently, "Then our Xie family will not be able to produce a queen, and you will not be a queen now."

"Without the eldest sister, the Wang family will marry the Zhao family, then the current queen is the sister of Concubine Shu, not you." Zhen Guogong said, "It was the eldest sister who asked the emperor to marry you as her successor before she died." Without the eldest sister, there would be no position as your current queen. “

Queen Xie hates that others say that she is the queen because of Xie Wan, and she said with a gloomy face: "So, I still want to thank her?" ”

"You have to thank her, without her, the emperor may not necessarily marry you as his successor......"

"Impossible." Empress Xie interrupted Zhen Guogong's words, "Without her Xie Wan, the emperor will marry me as the queen." I am the concubine of the Xie family, without the help of the Xie family, their Zhao family ......" Speaking of this, Queen Xie did not say any more.

"You want to say that without the help of our Xie family, the Zhao family would not have been able to establish the Great Zhou, right?" Zhen Guogong finished what Empress Xie had not finished.

Empress Xie said with a cold face, "Isn't that so? ”

Zhen Guogong said with a smile: "I am here to tell you solemnly, without the help of our Xie family, the Zhao family will succeed in establishing the Great Zhou sooner or later, it is only a matter of time." ”

"Impossible, without the help of our Xie family, how could the Zhao family ......"

Zhen Guogong interrupted Empress Xie's words and said, "At the beginning, it was our Xie family who begged to cooperate with the Zhao family, not the Zhao family who begged to cooperate with our Zhao family, understand?" ”

Empress Xie couldn't accept this time, she said in disbelief: "How can it be ......?"

"Back then, my father took a fancy to the ability of the first emperor, and took the lead in cooperating with Sister Zhao before the Wang family, otherwise the Wang family would cooperate with the Zhao family, and then the queen would be the Wang family." Zhenguo said, "With or without our Xie family, or with or without the Wang family, the Zhao family will succeed!" Cooperate with our Xie family, but let the Zhao family succeed in advance! “

"You underestimate the Zhao family too much, and you look too highly down on our Xie family!"

"This ...... How could it be ......" Empress Xie always felt that it was because of the help of the Xie family that the Zhao family was able to successfully establish the Great Zhou.

"You were too young to know anything." Zhen Guogong glanced at Empress Xie deeply and said, "The Zhao family doesn't owe us the Xie family!" ”

Empress Xie sat on the chair in a trance.

"It's normal for you to be young at that time and not understand anything, but now that you've been a queen for a few years, you still don't know anything." Zhen Guogong shook his head and said, "The eldest sister has long known this, so after marrying the emperor, she has been doing her best to be the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family." ”

He said again, "If it weren't for the eldest sister, there would be no you, the queen, and no me, the prince of the town." ”

Queen Xie couldn't accept herself, and this queen relied on Xie Wan to get it.

"You have always felt that you are the daughter of the Xie family, and your status is more noble than that of the eldest sister, and you feel that you are very aggrieved as a successor, and you feel that your son was wronged by the prince on his head." Zhen Guogong was clear about what his little sister was thinking, "You have always felt that I help the prince and not your son, because I don't take you as a little sister to heart." ”

"Isn't it?"

Zhen Guogong didn't expect Queen Xie to be so brainless and angry.

"Okay, have you ever thought that if I help your son, what will happen if I don't help the prince?"

"What will happen to you?" Empress Xie said disapprehantly, "My son is right. ”

"How old is your son?" Zhenguo Gong laughed angrily at Queen Xie's words, "I'll put this aside today, if there is no prince, it will not be your son's turn." The emperor will immediately canonize the acting king as the prince. Do you think your son can compare to the king? Do you think you are more favored than Concubine Rong? ”

Zhen Guogong's last sentence stung the deep sore spot in Queen Xie's heart, "How can the Yu family compare with our Xie family?" ”

"That's right, the Yu family is not as good as our Xie family, but the Yu family is the emperor's mother family." Zhen Guogong said, "The emperor can do without our Xie family, but he can't do without the Yu family, because the Yu family and the Zhao family are related by blood!" ”

Empress Xie did not speak.

"Concubine Rong and the emperor have grown up together since childhood, and the two have had a good relationship since childhood. If it wasn't for the marriage with our Xie family back then, Concubine Rong would be the queen now. Zhen Guogong said again, "The emperor's favor for Concubine Rong, you should know better than me." Have you been married to the emperor for so many years, have you ever competed for favor and concubine Rong? If it weren't for the crown prince, Concubine Rong's son Daiwang would have been the prince a long time ago, and it would be your son's turn! ”

Empress Xie said stiffly: "The crown prince must be a concubine, not a concubine." ”

"Do you really think that the emperor cares about his concubine?" Seeing that Empress Xie was still confused, Zhenguo decided to tell her a good talk today, "The prince was made the prince at the beginning, not because he was the eldest son, but because he was the son of the eldest sister!" ”

"Impossible!" Empress Xie felt that Zhen Guogong's words were too ridiculous, "The reason why the prince was made the prince is because he is the eldest son. Since ancient times, the crown prince has been the eldest son, and it is impossible to be a concubine. When the Great Zhou Dynasty was first established, it was impossible for the emperor to break the rules and appoint a concubine as the crown prince. “

"Do you think the emperor cares about secular rules?" Seeing that Empress Xie had been married to Emperor Wu of Zhou for so many years, Gong Zhenguo still didn't know Emperor Wu Zhou's temperament at all. For the first time, he felt that his little sister was as stupid as his little brother. "For so many years, have you ever cared about the secular rules when you see the prince doing things? The imperial history used to remind the emperor to pay attention to the rules, have you heard of it? ”

"If I hadn't helped the crown prince, the acting king would have been the prince a long time ago." Zhen Guogong said angrily, "Once the acting king becomes the prince, do you think you can continue to be this queen?" ”

"If it weren't for the eldest sister, Concubine Rong would have been the queen a long time ago, and you would never be the successor, don't think that you are very wronged as the successor."

Seeing that Empress Xie was still a little unconvinced, Zhenguo Gong had no choice but to take another dose of fierce medicine, "Compared to Concubine Rong, you are nothing." ”

"Big brother!" Empress Xie stood up angrily, and glared at Zhen Guogong with angry eyes.

"Don't say it's you, even the eldest sister doesn't have the status of Concubine Rong in the emperor's heart." Zhen Guogong saw it clearly, "The eldest sister has gained respect from the emperor because of her virtue." ”

"You...... It means that I can't compare to Concubine Rong's slut, and I can't compare to Xie Wan's lowly concubine! ”

Hearing that Empress Xie still said this, Zhen Guogong's face became a little ugly: "That's right, in the emperor's heart, you are not as good as Concubine Rong, nor as good as the eldest sister!" ”

Empress Xie angrily pointed at Zhenguo Gong, and hysterically he shouted: "Get out, you get out of me!" ”

Zhen Guogong stood up and his tone became cold: "Little sister, I didn't expect you to be as stupid as Xie Shi!" ”

"Roll !!"

Zhen Guogong did not forget his duty as a courtier, and after saluting Empress Xie, he withdrew.

After Zhen Guogong left, Empress Xie angrily grabbed the tea cup on the table and slammed it on the ground. Then, the table was overturned.

Jiang Chuan and the others stood outside the door and saw that Queen Xie was so angry, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to go in.

When Queen Xie was angry, her expression was very terrifying, and she didn't meet the dignified and decent people on weekdays at all.

After smashing it indiscriminately, the anger in Queen Xie's heart decreased a little.

When the Seventh Prince came back from school, he saw that Empress Xie had smashed Zhaoyang Palace into a mess, and asked with concern: "Queen Mother, who made you angry?" ”

Empress Xie gritted her teeth and said, "Zhenguo Gong! ”

Hearing Empress Xie call her uncle "Duke Zhenguo", the Seventh Prince knew that Empress Xie was not lightly angered by his uncle.

"What did Uncle do to make you so angry?"

After he finished speaking, he called Jiang Chuan and the others in and asked them to clean up.

"Queen Mother, let's go to the study and talk."

After a fire, Empress Xie regained some composure, nodded and went to the study with her son.

The Seventh Prince personally brought a cup of hot tea to Queen Xie, "Queen Mother, take a sip of tea to dissipate your anger." "What did the uncle do to make the queen mother so angry.

Empress Xie picked up the teacup, took a few sips of tea elegantly, and said coldly: "I didn't expect that in the eyes of his Zhenguo Gong, I, the queen, would be so unbearable." I didn't expect that in the eyes of his Zhenguo Gong, my sister-in-law was actually inferior to Xie Wan's lowly concubine! ”

"Mother, what did my uncle tell you?"

Empress Xie told the Seventh Prince what Zhen Guogong said to her, "Zhen Guogong thinks that I am not as good as the slut of Concubine Rong, nor can I compare to the lowly concubine Xie Wan!" ”

"How can my uncle say that?"

"It seems that it is impossible to count on Zhen Guogong." Empress Xie only felt cold, "I'm his own sister, but he treats me like this!" ”

Zhenguo Gong returned to Zhenguo Mansion with a bad face. Seeing this, Xie Shi was about to laugh at him, but Zhen Guogong swept over with a cold eye, and he was so frightened that he immediately shut up.

Seeing his father's ugly face, the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion hurriedly asked with concern, "Dad, did you quarrel with your aunt?" ”

"It's me who thinks highly of her, I didn't expect her to be as stupid as Xie Shi." Zhen Guogong had always known that Empress Xie was jealous of Empress Xian, but he didn't expect Empress Xie to hate Empress Xian to the bone, and hated her to the point of losing her mind. He always thought that Empress Xie was a smart person, but after what happened, he found that Empress Xie was a person with a confused mind.

"Aunt is as stupid as uncle?" The prince of the Zhenguo Mansion asked in surprise, "What did my aunt tell you to make you feel like this?" ”

Zhen Guogong told his son what Queen Xie had quarreled with him before. After hearing this, the prince of Zhenguo Mansion looked very complicated.

"Auntie, she ......"

"It is estimated that she and the Seventh Prince will drag us back in the future." Zhen Guogong sighed helplessly, "We can't let her know what we do in the future." ”

"Dad, what you said to your aunt is a bit excessive, you know that your aunt minds comparing her with her aunt and comparing her with Concubine Rong."

"I'm saying this so that she can see where she is." Zhenguo said, "Besides, I'm not wrong. ”

"You're right, but with my aunt's pride, she can't accept it."

"She has to accept it if she can't accept it, because it's true." Zhen Guogong sighed heavily, "We spoiled her. ”

The prince of the Zhenguo Mansion comforted: "Dad, my aunt is not a stupid person, she just can't accept what you said. When she calms down, she will understand your painstaking efforts. ”

"I hope she really understands my hard work." Zhen Guogong understands Queen Xie's temperament, and knows that she will not understand his hard work, and will only think that he, the eldest brother, will not help her as a sister.

At this time, in the imperial study of the Chengguang Palace.

Sun Kui summoned Empress Xie to Zhenguo Gong, who left Zhaoyang Palace with a gloomy face and reported to Emperor Wu of Zhou.

"After Zhen Guogong left, the queen mother also made a big fire."

When Emperor Wu of Zhou heard this, he seemed to smile and said: "In front of the Duke of Zhenguo, the queen does not hide her temper. ”

"Your Majesty, aren't you curious why the queen mother quarreled with the prince of Zhenguo?" Sun Kui was very curious.

"I can think of why they're arguing with my toes."

Sun Kui hurriedly asked, "Do you know why they quarreled?" ”

"What else can I do for it, of course, to quarrel about going to Yangzhou for thanks." Emperor Wu of Zhou said, raising the corners of his mouth and smiling inexplicably, "The queen thinks that she is very careful and well-hidden. ”

"What can the queen mother think about?"

Emperor Wu of Zhou did not answer Sun Kui's question, but said: "Zhenguo Gong is a shrewd person, Xie Wan is also a smart person, but the queen is not. He stood up and said, "The queen is a man who thinks she is very smart. ”

Sun Kui followed behind Emperor Wu of Zhou: "Your Majesty, you mean that the Empress Niang is a smart person." ”

"That's right."

Sun Kui: If the queen mother knew that the emperor said this about her, I don't know how she would feel.

Emperor Wu of Zhou said as he walked towards the dining room: "Few of the women in this harem are smart. ”

Sun Kui said silently in his heart: Your Majesty, Liang Zhaoyi must be a smart person in your heart.
