Fang Yu's words were undoubtedly a wake-up call to the queen as an outsider.

Yes, although the Lu family thinks that they are still loyal to Pei Yao, when the Lu family starts to care about their own gains and losses, and puts the interests of the Lu family in front of Pei Yao's interests, it is to put private rights first and put the heart of loyalty to the monarch behind.

And as an emperor, what you really want is wholehearted loyalty.

Thunder, rain and dew are all regarded as Jun'en.

Such a courtier who really puts the loyal monarch first, and has a deep sense of assistance with the king, and is quite talented, unless this monarch is a faint monarch, how can it end badly.

But obviously, Pei Yao is a good monarch for now.

"You are really smart, no wonder the emperor has favored you for many years."

The queen retracted her mind and looked at Fang Yu with a little admiration.

She has never looked down on Fang Yu, but she didn't think how broad Fang Yu's horizons could be, and today, the queen knows more about Fang Yu.

"Niangniang praised it falsely, Niangniang may not have thought of this, it's just that the authorities are confused." Fang Yu hooked his lips shallowly.

The queen narrowed her eyes, and then looked at Fang Yu with a slight puzzled face.

"Why do you want to tell this to the palace, aren't you afraid that the palace will punish you according to the rules of the harem that you can't interfere in politics, the emperor is not in Beijing now."

The queen has the final say on all matters in this palace.

At this time, it is an excellent time to find a mistake and dispose of the favorite concubines in the harem.

However, in the face of the queen's words, Fang Yu behaved calmly and calmly.

"If Niangniang really has this intention, she will not ask the concubine, not to mention that the concubine and Niangniang said this, it is really for the good of the concubine and the concubine herself."

"Oh?" The queen smiled, "Tell me what a good way to do it." ”

Hearing this, Fang Yu was not in a hurry to answer, but first performed a standard concubine ceremony to the queen.

Then he calmly spoke.

"The concubine knows that her background is not good, and she can have today's one by the emperor's pity, and the other is the tolerance and protection of the mother, the concubine has no mother, and the glory is tied to this harem, and the concubine knows that only if the mother is in the middle palace, the concubine will have a stable life."

"You have been favored for many years, and you are not afraid that this palace is just friendly with you on the face, and I already hate you in my heart."

In the face of Fang Yu's respect, the queen asked in a low voice, and the momentum of the superior was fully revealed.

Counting, this is the first time the two have faced each other in so many years.

Although Fang Yu is respectful, his momentum is not weak, and he is still calm.

"Niangniang is from a high family, and the open-minded pattern is beyond the reach of ordinary women, and the concubines can see that Niangniang does not care about the emperor's favor, what Niangniang values is the emperor's respect, as well as the status of the middle palace and the future of the mother's family."

"The concubines have no maternal family to rely on, and the second can see their position clearly, except for fighting for a little bit of the emperor's favor and protecting themselves and their children, they will definitely not have any wrong thoughts."

"The concubine believes that Niangniang has also seen the respect and sincerity of the concubine for many years, so she will be in harmony with the concubine, and it is precisely because Niangniang has this mind, not such a jealous and narrow-minded person, so the concubine hopes that Niangniang can always sit firmly in the middle palace, to say a big disrespectful word, if something happens to the Lu family, the middle palace changes hands, and the concubine is afraid that she will be the first to be targeted."

These words fell into the ears of the queen, and they were heard clearly.

Meaning, for now, the balance between the two of them is the best, so Fang Yu doesn't want the queen to have an accident, so that she will break the balance and cause trouble for herself.

It is indeed a truth that can convince the queen.

At least enough for now.

In the eyes of the queen at this moment, everything Fang Yu did just rely on Pei Yao's favor.

In this way, Fang Yu, who does not have the support of the mother family, does not want the harem power to change and add more enemies, which is also reasonable.

The queen withdrew her gaze and hooked the corners of her lips.

"If you have this thought, this palace will naturally protect you, but the bottom line of this palace, in addition to the position of this middle palace, there is another one, can you guess?"

"The Five Princes." Fang Yu replied in a low voice without hesitation, and immediately looked at the four princes who were playing not far away, "The concubine and Niangniang are both mothers, how can they not know Niangniang's love for their son, Niangniang can rest assured, the fourth prince is weak and not suitable to take on big responsibilities, and the concubine only needs him to be an idle nobleman." ”

The queen's gaze also fell on the four princes.

"The princes are still young, and the palace doesn't think about it so long-term, and the palace now only needs the children to grow up healthy."

Fang Yu also immediately understood the meaning of these words, and nodded.

"Yes, nothing can compare to the safe growth of a child."

After speaking, the two glanced at each other, and they had silently made an agreement in their hearts.

This is a mutual assurance, and will never do anything to the child.

When he came back from the imperial garden, the fourth prince took Fang Yu's hand and raised his head to ask.

"Mother, what do mothers and queen mothers say?"

"Whisper."

Fang Yu replied with a smile.

The fourth prince didn't understand, and asked again.

"What's a whisper?"

"Ji'er will know when she grows up." Fang Yu rubbed his son's head, "Is it good to eat hibiscus eggs at night?" ”

When it came to food, the four princes seemed to be distracted, and immediately raised their little faces and demanded.

"I want a little meatball!"

"Okay, let the kitchenette do it for you."

Fang Yu responded softly.

Just as he retracted his gaze, there was a crisp question from the fourth prince in his ears.

"Mother, I'll grow up tomorrow, and my mother will tell me what a whisper is."

When Fang Yu heard this, he still remembered this little ancestor.

But it's funny, "How do you know that Ming'er will grow up?" ”

"Sister said, it's getting bigger and bigger every day!" The fourth prince replied proudly.

Fang Yu immediately nodded and praised, "Yes, Ji'er will also go to the academy in two months." ”

"With my sister?" The eyes of the four princes lit up.

I don't know how hard it is to learn the sea, but now I just think it's a fun place.

Fang Yu naturally didn't discourage his enthusiasm, and took the opportunity to talk to the fourth prince about going to school.

Hearing something fresher, the four princes didn't ask what the whisper was, and the mother and son held hands so big and returned to the Yuzhang Palace.

And the queen, after returning to Fengxuan Palace, immediately sent someone out of the palace and delivered a message to the Lu family.

That night, Prime Minister Lu Cheng and his two sons discussed in the study for a long time.

The next day, news came out from the DPRK and the central government, and Prime Minister Lu Cheng took action and found several officials in the capital who colluded with the northern officialdom and participated in the fraud of the imperial examination.

Prime Minister Lu Cheng's action undoubtedly caught many unclean families in Beijing off guard.

After all, in their opinion, the family is one, monopolizing the court and controlling the monarch is for the benefit of the family.

Pei Yao in the north was also a little relieved to the Lu family when he got the news, and quickly handed over the news to Liu Qin in Beijing and asked him to follow suit.

Liu Qin was already collecting evidence from all walks of life during the time when the Lu family was hesitating, and when the Lu family started at this time, he followed the situation and found out many people in a row.

And Liu Qin's shot also made Prime Minister Lu Cheng afraid for a while.

has been in the officialdom for many years, how could he not see that these things that Liu Qin took out were not a day or two of hard work, and this case was not licensed, and it was not something that an official of Liu Qin's level could interfere with at will.

And this shows that if he chose to protect the Jingzhong family at that time, then the Lu family's status in the emperor's heart may collapse.
