After the eleventh mother interrogated Lu Yuan, she walked to the Linglong Terrace, and just sat down, before she could approve the various needs of the inner palace, the palace maid who was full of questions couldn't wait to express her confusion.

Shenyan is only fourteen this year, and he is not an old servant when he was in Jinyang's palace, but his origin is the same as that of taro and so on, so he can be in Penglai Palace, serving as the queen's personal maid, she is a newcomer, and she is not very familiar with the queen's temperament, and only realizes that the queen is generous, so if you have any questions, you dare to express your opinions.

"Isn't Your Highness extremely sympathetic to Little Lady Lu, why did you deliberately snub it today?"

The queen looked at Roujie - since she had fallen out with Tong'an, the queen was no longer embarrassed about Roujie's placement, and simply sent Roujie back to her side, even if she didn't do this, Tong'an's attitude towards her would not improve.

Roujie knows, this is the queen asked her to explain the reason to Shenyan, and at the same time, she also has the intention of comparing herself.

Roujie is reluctant to consider marriage, the court is her home, and Eleven Niang intends to let her take on the responsibility of cultivating newcomers in the future, so she intends to let Roujie become accustomed to her functions at this time, which is of course also a manifestation of trust.

So for the queen's intentions, Roujie must be aware that when she was in the palace, she had already been transferred to serve Tong'an, away from the queen for many years, and a new run-in between the master and servant also needed to be done, and the queen also wanted to hear Roujie's opinion on why she deliberately snubbed Lu Yuan.

"Although His Royal Highness sympathizes with Little Lady Lu, he also suspects that Little Lady Lu insists on being elected as a female official, and she must have intentions, so today, she is deliberately tempting." After Roujie said this, seeing that the queen smiled slightly, knowing that she had not misjudged, she continued to say: "Little Lady Lu is the daughter of the princess, and her temperament is originally unruly. ”

"Not necessarily, right? Mrs. Jiang at the beginning, didn't she also say that Lu Xiaoniang has become silent since the catastrophe, the more the family treats and cares, but the more ashamed she feels, in order to repay her family, she insists on serving Her Royal Highness as a female official and helping the family. Deep Smoke was skeptical.

"Even if the temperament of the little lady Lu has changed, but the person who has a traumatic heart must care about the eyes of others, especially can't stand any scrutiny and ridicule, today His Royal Highness intends to let her stand outside the palace, with many palace people, for the attendant, this is a light thing she has never experienced, even if she is prepared, but when she encounters the scrutiny and scrutiny of many concubines, where can she really adapt to normal? However, the slave and maid observed, but the little lady Lu was able to deal with it calmly, indicating that her mind was tenacious, enough to endure more humiliation without changing color, according to the slave maid, the little lady Lu was born with a noble background, only for the benefit of her family, it is impossible to do this, only those who have hatred in their hearts, or those who have greater intentions, can be determined to be fully prepared, and do not care about the attitude of others. ”

Roujie concluded, and added: "For example, Mrs. Huayang, has a plan, but still can't tolerate humiliation, Lu Xiaoniang's background is not comparable to Mrs. Huayang, and she is younger than Mrs. Huayang, but her mind is obviously tougher than Mrs. Huayang, so the slave is actually more biased, and the reason why Lu Xiaoniang insists on being elected as a female official is because of hatred." ”

Although Roujie was not born in a noble, she encountered a lot of hardships when she was a child, and once hated the enemy, so compared to Shenyan, she can better understand that the hatred in her heart can inspire people to have the power to endure all shame, unlike people who love vanity, who only seek wealth and power, so there is still a limit to the tolerance of humiliation, because the ultimate purpose of the two is different, the avenger cares about revenge, as long as he can achieve this goal, even his own life and death can be put aside, why care about honor and disgrace?

Shen Yan saw that the queen bowed her head again, obviously agreeing with Roujie's analysis, of course she no longer questioned it, but she was still puzzled: "Since Your Highness has found out that Little Lady Lu has ill intentions, why do you still allow her to be elected as a female official?" "Isn't this the equivalent of raising a tiger?

"From the slave's point of view, if Little Lady Lu shows any dissatisfaction today, His Royal Highness will not allow her to stay in the palace, because she can't adapt to being a slave at all, if she is reluctant to bow down, it will make her heart disease more serious, and Little Lady Lu will inevitably feel miserable, Your Highness is sympathetic to Little Lady, and should find a way to relieve her, without letting her suffer more humiliation." But Rou Jie turned to say: "As for why His Royal Highness is willing to let her be selected as a female official even though he knows that Little Lady Lu has hatred in his heart, the slave maid is also confused, and she doesn't know His Highness's intentions. ”

Only then did the queen solve the confusion for the second maid: "What I do decide today, in addition to Lu Yuan's hatred, there is another thing, that is, she has been determined not to achieve her goal and is not willing to give up, if she breaks her wish, maybe she will really despair and seek death, I can't bear to see her in her prime, because she was insulted by the barbarians, she cut off her life, so I gave her a chance, I hope she can at least live." ”

When the queen thought of Lu Yuan's response, those resolute and even a little sad eyes, knew that although this woman had suffered a catastrophe, perhaps her temperament had changed, but the edge and recklessness in her bones had not really been wiped out, she had made up her mind to take a desperate gamble, hatred was the only pillar she found for her own survival, persuasion and obstruction could push her into a dead end, if Lu Yuan had not suffered barbarian humiliation, the queen would not be nosy, but as she said to He Ye, Lu Yuan's experience, the empire should be responsible, She is now the queen of the country, so she can't leave it alone.

"But Your Highness, if Little Lady Lu wants to be unfavorable to the Holy Lord or His Highness......"

"I am not her enemy with the Holy One." The queen said solemnly: "No matter how tenacious Lu Yuan's mind is, no matter how her temperament changes due to the catastrophe, but due to the limitations of age and experience, it is impossible to be unremarkable when facing the enemy, even if she can endure humiliation, it is inevitable that clues will be revealed between words and deeds, and her response today is very simple, even to the point of not having a word to spare, if she is not good for me in order to win my trust, how can she even save flattery?" Moreover, if I have no grudge against her, I will not let her make a desperate gamble and make up her mind together. ”

As for He Ye, although he once beat Lu Rui to disability, Lu Rui is only Lu Yuan's cousin, and even Rong Guogong, the grandfather, no longer fights for Lu Rui, so Lu Yuan has no reason to take on the crime of killing the monarch for Lu Rui, and he does not hesitate to affect the entire family.

"Lu Yuan is a noble daughter of the public mansion, and she has never had a mortal enmity with others before, which led her to despair and even suicide There is only one thing, that is, she was humiliated by the barbarians, and she saw her brother and sister-in-law die under the butcher's knife, although the murderer has been executed, but the person who caused all this is still pampered, so her mortal enemy can only be one person." The queen's side, facing east: "Empress Dowager Wei." ”

If it weren't for Empress Dowager Wei's abandonment of Jingdong and fleeing, Chang'an would not have fallen, if it weren't for Empress Dowager Wei's appointment of Chai Tori as the waste of Jingzhaoyin to stay behind, the Turkic coalition army would not have easily captured Kyoto, without all this happening, Lu Yuan would not have suffered a great humiliation, and her life would not have fallen into never-ending despair in the year of cardamom.

Shen Yan suddenly realized: "Your Highness wants to use Little Lady Lu?" ”

"No, His Royal Highness wants to rescue Little Lady Lu." Roujie corrected.

"It's rescue, it's also use." When the queen retracted her gaze, there was no smile on her face: "I have the same purpose as Lu Yuan, we don't want to let the Empress Dowager Wei go, but Lu Yuan just wants the Empress Dowager Wei to die, but I can't let the Empress Dowager Wei die so easily, Lu Yuan will definitely act impulsively, so I want to stop her, I first have to persuade her to be a little restless, and I must also use her to persuade Rong Guogong to help me get rid of the Empress Dowager at a critical moment, so you must pay special attention to Lu Yuan, and you can't let her be desperate and get the opportunity to assassinate the Empress Dowager." ”

The queen knew that at this time, she could not persuade Lu Yuan to be impatient, and it was impossible for her to expose her purpose hastily to others to know, and at the same time, she didn't want Lu Yuan to despair, so she could only take a delaying strategy, at least to win Lu Yuan's trust, so that she could obey her persuasion.

This is not raising tigers for trouble, this is sharpening knives.

He also said that the matter of the harem was elected, because of the exception and simplicity, Du Jianzhi, who was in charge of this affairs, almost obeyed Feng Jizheng's words, and of course proceeded very quickly, only Feng Jizheng was a little wasted, Du Jianzhi did not want to choose the queen mother's party members to send the election, he expected that the Empress Dowager Wei would not die, if the queen mother was allowed to install eyes and ears in the palace, it would be detrimental to the stability of the society, but Feng Jizheng and the Empress Dowager Wei had reached an agreement in private, so they had to be persuaded by the tongue.

"If all the ladies of the Queen Mother's party are defeated, how can Xie Xiang, Wei Xiang, etc., give up, they will definitely question the unfairness of Du Gong's selection, Queen Liu and Xue Xuanzhi, etc., will definitely use this opportunity to attack Du Gong, in order to prevent sideways branches, I hope Du Gong will think twice, after all, the Holy Lord has always been wary of the Queen Mother's party system, even if the Empress Dowager Wei can install eyes and ears in the harem, it will be difficult to be favored and will not become a hidden danger."

Du gradually knew that after this persuasion, he raised his noble hand and let go of a few Wei party members, and because of the so-called descendants, only Jing Zhaoxiao's family should be elected, if he loses the election, the intention is too obvious, so Xiao Nanqiao's Geng post was also listed in the record book, and it was submitted to the emperor for approval.

He Ye didn't want to deal with this matter in the first place, so he handed it over to Eleven Niang.

Others are just fine, but Eleven Niang saw that there was the name of Lu Ruan's daughter Lu Jiacheng on the record, which was really nerve-wracking.

How could she be a prophet, Feng Jizheng did not send his daughter to be elected, but persuaded Lu Ruan to be an alternative, not that Eleven Niang regarded Lu Jiacheng as a big threat, what made her think about it was whether Lu Ruan was also used by Feng Jizheng to stand in the camp of the so-called orthodoxy because he was worried that his descendants would sit on the big relatives and mess with politics.

Although according to He Zhan, Lu Ruan focuses on academics and has no intention of going to court, but as Lu Zhengming's eldest son, Ding Wei will definitely recover after the expiration of the period, not to mention that Lu Zhengming has a great influence on famous poetry and books, this family's position is very important for He Ye Kuang's restoration of the prosperous world, or for Shi Niang's retrial of Pei Zheng's case, if Lu Ruan is bewitched by Feng Jizheng and insists on being an enemy of Shi Niang, of course, it is harmful.

"Whether Your Highness should first consult with the Holy Lord before making a decision?" Seeing that the queen was in trouble, she suggested.

"No, you don't." Eleven Niang sighed: "Since the daughter of the Lu family has been elected, if she is deposed by the royal family, it is tantamount to openly humiliating the Lu family, if Lu Liuniang is a fierce woman, maybe she will be humiliated and killed, Lu Gong is the emperor in the end, and he is deeply trusted by the saint, how can the saint humiliate the hero so much?" And if I really openly humiliate the famous family of poetry and books, it will definitely stimulate infighting, and I will really become a demon queen, and I will be punished by all the pen and mouth, and the Empress Dowager Wei will be able to enjoy the benefits of a fisherman. ”

She handed the record to the tapo: "Sign and seal it." ”

But for this extraneous branch, of course, Eleven Niang thinks that it is necessary to inform He Ye, and she is also responsible for this matter, and for Feng Jizheng, she is the enemy she underestimates.
