The inner garden of the palace, the warm jade pavilion.

Since the death of the emperor, Zhang Yan has rarely lived in Cining Palace, and most of the time she lives in the Nuan Yu Pavilion next to the Imperial Garden.

As if to get rid of the shackles of the royal identity of the previous dynasty, or to forget the past past, Zhang Yan specially ordered the Internal Affairs Office to repair the entire Nuanyu Pavilion, and the area was not expanded, but the decoration inside was replaced by the decoration of ordinary people's homes, and there was no royal noble.

There are a lot more flowers and plants, and there are fewer unnecessary decorations.

When the news of Wang Qi's arrival came, Zhang Yan was teaching a group of palace maids and eunuchs to read and write in the pavilion.

Therefore, when Wang Qi walked in, the few small desks and books in the palace had not been put away.

"Wang Tiqian said, the palace has changed a lot recently, I'll take a look," Wang Qi rubbed his hands lightly, and walked slowly through the palace: "I didn't expect Niangniang to be able to personally hand over these palace maids and eunuchs to read and write. These jobs can be done by inviting a few teachers outside the palace. ”

"It's just idle to pass the time," Zhang Yan welcomed Wang Qi to the inner room, instructed the palace maid to bring pastries, served teacups, and sat down: "Moreover, the concubine has obtained the status of an honorary member of the parliament for nothing, if she doesn't do something, she will not go." ”

"The Queen Mother has a heart," Wang Qi nodded, looked around, all the decorations in the room were plain and white, and it was peaceful and unhurried: "The decorations in this palace are not ordinary." ”

"I just want to get used to these plain elegance earlier," Zhang Yan gently pulled her sideburns and said softly: "After all, the parliament rules the world, the people's hearts are stable, and the affairs of the palace in the past must become a cloud of the past in the near future." ”

Whether it is Wang Tiqian or the Empress Dowager Zhang Yan, they are all confused about the future of the inner courtyard of the palace, or in fact, the future of the nobles of the previous dynasty, and even frightened.

No one knows when Wang Qi will think that the time has come to wipe all the traces of the previous dynasty clean.

Although Zhu Huiyan is already married to Wang Qi.

But everyone knows that this kind of rectification marriage, in Wang Qi's eyes, is like child's play, and will not affect his political judgment.

Zhang Yan, who was sitting in front of her, was clear about this matter.

"In a few days, Wang Tiqian will submit a written request to the parliament," Wang Qi casually picked up the pear blossom cake in the jade plate, filled it into his mouth, and melted it in his mouth, full of fragrance: "I have already verbally agreed." ”

"Manager Wang, I must be very tired," Zhang Yan was not surprised, but nodded lightly.

In the past two years, Wang Tiqian has tried his best to maintain the relationship between the imperial family and the parliament of the previous dynasty, as a link and a medium, and try to minimize the losses of the conflict between the two sides.

This is also his most outstanding achievement as one of the seven members of the National Assembly.

And now, the parliament is powerful, and the royal family of the previous dynasty is withering day by day, and Wang Tiqian also knows that he is not of much use.

"The Queen Mother wants to enter politics?" Wang Qi turned the protagonist back to Zhang Yan, but the topic remained the same.

After all, in the past, as the queen mother, participating in parliamentary meetings was more like trying her best to maintain royal decency, which made people infinitely reverie.

The Queen Mother bowed slightly: "In public, my identity as the Queen Mother will be hidden, and I am just an honorary councilor." ”

Wang Qi didn't speak, just silently chewed the pear blossom pastry in his mouth, as if he was reminiscing.

"I will not use this to expand the influence of the previous dynasty in the parliament, after all, many of the nobles of the previous dynasty have been incognito and have no connection with the royal family." Zhang Yan looked at Wang Qi pitifully with a pair of beautiful eyes, after all, without the approval of Wang Qi as an archon, the false name of an honorary councilor, no one in Nuoda's parliament would care.

But if Wang Qi nodded.

Even if Zhang Yan doesn't have any position, relying on the identity of a former queen of the dynasty, she can make most people bow down.

That's taking advantage of the situation!

"However, you still have a son," Wang Qi finally swallowed the pear blossom pastry in his mouth, and took a sip of tea soup by the way: "Whether you have this intention or not, he will inevitably take advantage of your power in the future, and I can't help but think about it." ”

When Wang Qi spoke, he was as indifferent as a political machine.

"However, you said that as long as I help you eradicate Zhu Youzhen, you will help our mother and son!" Zhang Yan frowned, and her tone was trembling, and she couldn't tell whether it was grievance or anger: "You said that as long as I am obedient, you can keep the royal family of the previous dynasty!" It won't be connected, but now? Those remnants of the former dynasty have changed their faces one by one, and they dare not raise their heads slightly, why? Isn't it your parliamentary purge of the forces of the former dynasty after it became powerful? What does the dark guard do, I am a woman sitting in the deep palace, and I know it all! ”

In the face of Zhang Yan's sad cry, Wang Qi just leaned back slightly: "Everything in the inner palace, even the use, the parliament has never deducted, together with the monthly silver of the palace maids and eunuchs, it is all allocated by the council to the internal affairs government, and the internal affairs government only sends it down with your approval, there is no tax silver, no responsibility, and no one covets it, the authority given to you by the parliament is equivalent to a country within a country!" You shouldn't be so dissatisfied. ”

"As for what I did to those remnants of the previous dynasty," Wang Qi finally pursed his lips and thought for a moment before saying: "I don't need to explain anything to you, it has nothing to do with you, you just live as usual." ”

After listening to Wang Qi's words, Zhang Yan finally closed her eyes slowly, and tears slipped down her flawless cheeks.

Zhang Yan's appearance is thrilling and beautiful.

"Queen Mother, if you have nothing to do, you can go out for a walk, the outside of the palace is now more lively than before, and it is good to relax," Wang Qi got up and saluted Zhang Yan: "Farewell." ”

Walking on the corridor of the palace, Wang Qi had no distractions.

He naturally knew Zhang Yan's thoughts.

Whether it's a good impression of yourself or the idea of wanting to extend your royal power.

It's all impractical.

There are so many beautiful women, Wang Qi doesn't want to make trouble on this.

Out of Donghua Gate, Wang Qi, who was just about to get into the sedan chair, suddenly noticed the crowd not far away, all looking up at a certain place in the sky.

Subconsciously, Wang Qi also looked up.

It was a huge balloon that was slowly drifting towards a high place, and of course, there was a rope under the balloon to prevent the balloon from flying away.

"That's the society is experimenting, it seems to be called a hot air balloon," Wang Shouxin on the side said: "I heard that tomorrow's second test, I will carry people up to fly into the sky!" ”

"Well, the progress is not slow," Wang Qi nodded, retracted his gaze, and ordered before getting into the sedan chair: "Tomorrow's experimental results, remember to copy a copy of them for me!" ”

"Yes." (End of chapter)
