He Shaoguang in the palace ate and drank well, no one embarrassed her, and the Queen Mother never summoned her again.

Outside the palace, the heart of the Lu family was suspended, at first the old lady didn't know Lu Xiaowen and He Shaoguang's previous plans, but her intuition told her that the queen mother was not simple.

Mrs. Lu called Lu Xiaowen to Lilac Garden alone and asked him if he knew why?

"The Queen Mother pushed back three times and twice, and the person I sent to the palace to spread the word didn't even meet Shaoguang's face, I don't believe those excuses. Tell me, what are you hiding from me? Do you know what the Queen Mother means by this? ”

Old Madam Lu is still quite calm at the moment, but if she continues to live like this, she will personally go out to the Queen Mother to ask for someone.

At the end of the palace banquet that day, he led the horse and waited quietly in front of the palace gate for He Shaoguang and Xu Ruyun, but when he went, there were two people, and when he came back, he saw Xu Ruyun alone.

He panicked for a moment, but seeing Xu Ruyun's face as usual, he thought it should be nothing serious.

Xu Ruyun told him that He Shaoguang was left behind by Miss Qiao, saying that the two had not seen each other for a long time, and asked her to stay with her in the Queen Mother's palace for a night.

He had heard of this girl Qiao, and he had often had dealings with He Shaoguang before, especially after experiencing the birth of Princess Zheng.

But this person is most famous for her submissive temperament, how could she do such a pampered thing in front of so many people today?

Lu Xiaowen is inevitably worried, is it not that Miss Qiao Si wants to keep people, but that the Queen Mother has other plans?

Lu Xiaowen knew that he had been ruthless in encircling and suppressing King Yan, if it weren't for the fact that he refused the chamberlain sent by the Queen Mother to pass the message and let him find someone to replace King Yan's corpse, even if King Yan lost his glory, what the Queen Mother prepared for him could also keep him rich and noble for a lifetime.

Lu Xiaowen thought that the Queen Mother hated him mercilessly.

In fact, the Queen Mother knew how many people had been killed and injured in the city, and she had no hope that Lu Xiaowen would agree to help her.

What she complained about was that he told the saint early, and united with the saint to catch turtles in an urn, if he didn't come up with that idea...... The sage didn't hold back, she knew that she would definitely beg the sage to let King Yan go.

All because of his words, she was also kept in the dark and missed the vitality of her youngest son.

The Queen Mother was in pain on the one hand, and felt that He Shaoguang was right.

Under the entanglement, people are thinner than during the New Year.

He Shaoguang didn't have to say hello to anyone, he really practiced the four words of what is called eating and waiting for death every day, until Lu Xiaowen came to the door.

He is a foreign minister, a big man, even when he is on duty, he should not come to the concubine's dormitory.

But he knew that there were only a few concubines living around the West Sixth Palace, where the Queen Mother was located, and the place was clean, so he slipped in while people were unprepared.

When He Shaoguang saw him in the courtyard, his face was like seeing a ghost.

"Why are you here?" She asked with her mouth, on Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone at the palace banquet had a special palace maid to take care of, and she did not let the maids follow, so the queen mother who stayed in the palace dialed a small palace maid Zhiyue from her side and said that it was to serve her.

But she didn't dare to command the people around the Queen Mother, so she usually did it herself, and Zhiyue was also happy to be idle, too lazy to serve her, and often lazy.

This would give her a rare sunshine in the courtyard, and Zhiyue leaned against the pillar to nap.

Lu Xiaowen pointed at Zhiyue with his finger, indicating that it was inconvenient to speak here.

He Shaoguang was clear, she got up from the Taishi chair, and followed Lu Xiaowen to the back of a bamboo forest.

"You are familiar with the terrain of the palace, I have not found this place in the past few days." He Shaoguang was amazed that there was such an empty place in the palace.

"Queen Mother...... Is it difficult for you? Lu Xiaowen asked the most worried question in his heart, and at the same time pulled He Shaoguang, who was more than half a head shorter than him, to turn around, and after confirming that the parts on his body were intact, seeing that He Shaoguang was walking a little unnaturally, he was relieved and raised his heart again, and couldn't help but worry and asked:

"Wounded? Can there be punishment? ”

As he spoke, he bent down and lifted the hem of her skirt to check the injury.

"What kind of torture?" He Shaoguang looked stunned, and jumped aside in fright by his movements.

"I just accidentally got it the day before yesterday when I was watering the flower seedlings in front of the side hall." He Shaoguang, who reacted, smiled and hurriedly comforted him, "I'm very good anywhere, and the Queen Mother didn't embarrass me, I haven't seen her for the past few days." ”

Lu Xiaowen was a little embarrassed by her half-step back action, and in order to alleviate it, he quickly followed the topic: "It's okay if you're okay, my mother asked me to come and see you." ”

……

He Shaoguang looked at him silently, Lu Xiaowen's embarrassment had not been alleviated, and he didn't know what to say for a while, and the bamboo forest fell into silence.

After a while, He Shaoguang found his voice: "Uh...... Mother asked you to climb the wall of the Queen Mother? ”

Lu Xiaowen, who came in over the wall, cleared his throat and explained: "Naturally not, but I thought that the people sent by my mother to greet the Queen Mother were all blocked back, and I didn't even see your face, so I still can't come to see you in the open." ”

It was precisely because the people in front of them hadn't seen each other that they were even more worried in the mansion.

He Shaoguang shook his head: "I didn't know that there was anyone in the mansion at all. ”

"It seems that the Queen Mother is waiting for me......" Lu Xiaowen sighed as she finished talking to the Queen Mother that day.

"I've never figured it out."

He Shaoguang was very confused: "The filial piety of the saint is not less than that of King Yan, why is the queen mother always ...... "eccentric?"

Lu Xiaowen leaned on a bamboo, he was also confused, but after getting along with King Yan, he understood.

"A child who always puts the country first and uses you to wronged you in major matters, or a child who thinks that you always travel thousands of miles to give you strange things, which do you like?"

People naturally like pleasure, but no one can say that a saint is not filial in this way.

He was afraid that the imperial power would be coveted by his brothers, so he killed the other brothers, leaving his own brother to send to the fiefdom, and could only return to Beijing once a year, but also gave him a supreme honorable status and gold and silver wealth.

It's a pity that the queen mother is still not satisfied, she complains that the fief given to him by the saint is too barren and too far, and she can only see her younger son once a year.

There is also a place in the harem where he can't balance it, and it is inevitable to use the identity of the queen mother to suppress a certain party, when doing this, have you ever thought that the queen mother has experienced decades of deep palace struggles and is tired of it?

Of course, this is what the Queen Mother should do, and she understands that it is not easy to be a saint. So although she is reluctant, she will still help her eldest son every time.

"Don't worry, I'll go and ask the Queen Mother tomorrow to let you go home with me."

After Lu Xiaowen learned the beginning and the end from her, his mind settled down a little, and he already had a countermeasure in his mind.

"Okay, you ......" He Shaoguang was about to say anything when he was interrupted by a raised female voice.

"Second Lady Lu?"

"Ah, it's Zhiyue next to the Queen Mother, she won't find me later, it's time to ask, you go quickly, I'll go back first!"

He Shaoguang hurriedly walked back from the bamboo forest.
