His Majesty the Emperor's maternal grandfather, Shangzhu State Xie Taishi, was a protégé of many people in the court and the army, and served as the generalissimo of the Gyeonggi Soldiers and Horses.

The female officer Yan Song frowned and asked: "Your Majesty is the eldest son of the first emperor, and he is a well-deserved son of heaven, and all the soldiers in the army are naturally loyal to the master."

As for those generals in the army who had a relationship with the Xie clan in Xunyang, I am afraid that only His Majesty will look forward. In that case, what worries His Majesty is there? ”

When the queen Xiao Bai heard this, she smiled faintly.

"So what? You must know that now that Mrs. Xie has been dead for many years, the 'Three Heroes of the Xie Family' fought to the death for Sheji, and Empress Xiaochun drove the crane immortal before His Majesty ascended the throne, and the king of Xunyang County has never been interested in the powerful party and government in the court.

——Now in the Xie family, where is there anyone who is really available to Your Majesty?

What's more, His Majesty has great ambitions, and relying on the strength of others is not reliable after all, so it is natural to establish His Majesty's own power as soon as possible. ”

Yan Song frowned and said, "So Your Majesty wants to use the eldest princess of Ning An, a sister who is helpless and has no mother's family to rely on, to establish contact with the army?"

But the slave said something that should not be said. Our Minghe Bai clan also has a force to be reckoned with in the army!

The Minghe Prefecture Navy has been under the control of our Bai clan for nearly a hundred years, and most of our governors have the strength to command the three counties of Gyeonggi.

Why doesn't Your Majesty get closer to us more often, but is so reluctant to seek far. ”

Empress Xiao Bai shook her head and smiled:

"What did Hongu say before? You didn't listen to a word.

His Majesty is by no means the lord of the mean, he doesn't want to rely on anyone at all, he just wants to be the real master of this Tianchen Dynasty, the real first person.

Even the Xunyang Xie family, which is connected to His Majesty's blood, His Majesty is unwilling to be attached, how can he deign to please our Minghe Bai clan, a relative and in-law?

Whether it was you, or your grandfather, father, and brother, you used to underestimate Your Majesty. ”

Yan Song heard the queen mention her brother Bai Rusong, and suddenly said "oops", and said in a row:

"Speaking of the eldest prince, the female official beside the eldest princess sent someone to send a message into the palace!

The slave maid was patronizing and choosing jewelry with you before, but she forgot to say it when she was beaten. ”

The queen frowned: "What's the matter?" ”

"The eldest princess of Taiping sent a message saying that the eldest princess of Pingyang went to the Bai Dadu Governor's Mansion today and wanted to ask our family master to mediate her marriage with Li Suining, the son of Li Suhe, the governor of the Nine Gates."

Queen Xiao Bai thought for a moment, frowned and said:

"Li Suining, is it the eldest son of the Li family in the Mahayana realm?

The eldest princess of Binh Duong to him. There are affectionate things, and this palace has heard of it even in the inner garden of the deep palace.

However, didn't it say that the eldest son of the Li family had a marriage contract? ”

Yan Song didn't know what was going on, it was just a well-behaved message.

"The slave and maid don't know, but the female officials around the eldest princess of Taiping spread the word, saying that after the governor, the lord and the eldest prince discussed this matter, they felt that it seemed feasible.

The Metropolitan Governor also decided to personally put pressure on the Li family to let the Li family respond. I specially said hello to Niangniang today, because I was afraid that His Majesty would be caught off guard if he asked about Niangniang.

The Metropolitan Governor said, even if His Majesty asks, you can just treat it as if you don't know. ”

Empress Xiao Bai was silent for a moment and sighed softly.

"This palace is both the imperial sister-in-law and the cousin, and it stands to reason that it is a private matter of Pingyang's sister. It shouldn't have been asked.

It's just that marriage is not trivial, if you marry the wrong husband who doesn't have her in her heart, I'm afraid that it won't go well for a lifetime. ”

Yan Song smiled indifferently:

"Niangniang, you are too careful. What is the identity of the princess, does the Li family dare to treat her poorly? ”

The queen sighed and said, "Pingyang is the eldest princess, and the Li family naturally doesn't dare to treat her lightly.

However, between husband and wife, if there is only external respect for each other, there is no slightest friendship. That is the woman's words, it is sad. ”

Yan Song was stunned for a moment, knowing that he had said the wrong thing and provoked the sadness of his master.

"Mother."

The queen Xiao Bai smiled in amazement.

"Hongu is fine. From the day Hongu married into this city that never sleeps, we didn't expect this possibility now, didn't we? ”

Bai Yunxuan has known since she was a child that the women of the Minghe Bai clan were born with a family mission.

It's just a pity that she missed her heart.

also missed the fact that she would have such a turbulent longing and love for the young son of heaven who was like a crown of jade and had a lot of things inside.

Yan Song's face showed distress.

In fact, she knows best, when her master was still a girl in the boudoir, she once went to the palace to visit her aunt Concubine Baigui, and met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a few times by chance.

At that time, Niangniang already had a secret affection for His Royal Highness the Prince, who was gentle and elegant, and rarely ambitious.

Knowing that she might be able to marry His Majesty, the queen didn't know how happy she was at that time!

But after entering the palace, I realized that His Majesty only had Chaogang Sheji in his heart, and he hardly paid much attention to the personal affairs of his children.

Although His Majesty has always been considerate, gentle, and respectful to the queen's mother, he lacks a trace of affection that a young couple should have.

The queen mother went from the initial loss, to the later self-regulation, virtuous and dignified understanding of Your Majesty, and now to consider Your Majesty in everything, and even put Your Majesty's joys, sorrows, and sorrows above the glory of the maternal Bai clan.

But Your Majesty did.

"-Girl!"

Yan Song was speechless for a while, blurted out the old name, and her eyes were warm and tearful.

"You've suffered."

The queen shook her head with a smile.

"It's not a suffering, after all, it's the way that Bengong himself nodded and recognized.

Then, even if the journey is bumpy and there are a lot of wind and rain, this palace should bear it. ”

What's more, she doesn't feel bitter.

Being able to become His Majesty's wife, and being able to see His Majesty's face from time to time, is a dream that she can't even think of when she is in the boudoir.

Now that the dream has come true, even if there are a few flaws in the dream, what does it matter?

Nine times out of ten things in this world are unsatisfactory, she is already lucky.

"Yan Song, you will send a message to your grandfather and father for a while, and you will say that it means the palace - the affairs of the eldest princess of Pingyang must be done, but you must not be too hasty with the Li family.

Otherwise, if the Admiral of the Nine Gates made trouble in front of His Majesty with no light on his face, it would make His Majesty's dragon heart displeased. His Majesty's Reilly means, they know. ”

Yan Song bowed down and said respectfully:

"Yes, Queen."

"Also—"

Queen Xiao Bai put down the tea cup in her hand and added with a solemn and serious face.

"Let people go to the Pingyang Eldest Princess's Mansion again to spread the word, and ask Jing Lin to be sure to dismiss the men around him who should be dismissed, and hide what should be hidden.

Since she wants Dagongzi Li, a noble son with a Mahayana realm and a very upright body, to be a concubine, it is really not a good idea to make such a fuss.

At least there should be respect and decency, and the eldest princess of Pingyang should still be given to the eldest prince Li after all. She's not too small, it's time to take care of herself. ”

Yan Song paused and hesitated:

"Niangniang, you said, will the Li family agree to this family business?"

Empress Xiao Bai smiled faintly.

"That's not something we should worry about."

The young Tianchen Mother sighed softly.

If the Minghe Bai clan helps with all their strength and puts heavy pressure on Li Suhe, unless His Majesty's Sacred Heart is unique and there is another imperial judgment, if a mere Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion still wants to gain a foothold in the Southern Dynasty court, what big splash can it make?

After all

It's not just any gate valve clan, they all have the hard bones of the Xunyang Xie clan back then.
