Chapter 63: The Queen Mother
"Kaoru'er, what's the matter?"
Looking at the frizzy little girl, the queen smiled gently, without the slightest blame.
The palace maid Xun'er came to the queen, spit out her little fragrant tongue playfully, and said with a smile: "Niangniang, there is new news about the matter you asked me to inquire about." ”
"Come and listen~" The queen's beautiful eyes lit up, and her face was full of curiosity.
The queen asked Xun'er to inquire about Cao Ze.
Emperor Qian's harem is still relatively harmonious, just because Emperor Qiandi is weak, and he has not favored any concubines, it is useless to intrigue in the harem.
Since entering the palace, Emperor Qiandi only occasionally visited the queen and the two concubines, and never stayed overnight, but the three concubines were extremely concerned about the situation of Emperor Qian.
The three concubines knew that the situation was very unfavorable to Emperor Qian, but they were all weak women and had no power to change, so they could only pray secretly.
In the past few days, good news has been transmitted to the harem one after another, and the situation has gradually reversed, and the three concubines have also breathed a sigh of relief, so Cao Shaoqing, the general of the cavalry who played a key role in reversing the situation, has a good impression and continues to pay attention.
In this kind of matter, it is inconvenient for the three concubines to come forward, and they all hand over the task of finding out the news to their personal palace maids, such as the queen who asked Xun'er to go to investigate.
Chu Yuan and the three kings have great power in Zhengjing City, but the palace is still in the hands of Emperor Qian, and the three kings, the national teacher and the head of the Jingye Division do not allow Chu Yuan to put his hand into the palace, and it is not difficult for the palace maids of the three concubines to find out the news.
"Niangniang, it's great news~"
"General Cao fought outside the city this morning......."
The pretty palace maid Xun'er reported the news she had found out one by one, with an innocent smile on her face.
"Great."
The queen breathed a sigh of relief, her pink lips opened lightly, and murmured, "Your Majesty should be very happy now......
In this battle, Cao Shaoqing showed his hole cards and played a more prominent prestige, and Emperor Qian's situation was no longer so passive.
Chu Yuan's prestige was further damaged, and his power weakened a lot, while the momentum of Emperor Qian's side gradually grew, and his power skyrocketed many times.
"Niangniang, the slave maid heard that General Cao has entered the palace and is having a secret conversation with His Majesty."
"General Cao is really a god man, he has such a strong strength and power at a young age, and he is still a beautiful man of the best rank in the world, His Majesty also trusts him, I don't know what kind of woman is worthy of him......"
Xun'er showed admiration on her face, and she admired Cao Ze very much.
When the queen heard this, a flash of brilliance flashed in her eyes, and her heart set off a slight wave.
................
Changle Palace, Yongle Palace.
After Princess Zhaojun entered the palace, she went straight to the Yongle Palace, still thinking about the incident she had just met Cao Ze.
Previously, she received the good news of the battle outside the city and rushed into the palace, wanting to share it with the emperor's brother immediately to soothe his mood.
After meeting Cao Ze, Princess Zhaojun changed her mind, she knew that Cao Ze was going to enter the palace to meet Emperor Qian, there was something important to discuss, and now she couldn't bother the emperor's brother, so she went to Yongle Hall instead to talk to the Queen Mother.
Princess Zhaojun entered the Yongle Hall in a hurry, looked around and found no one, and was about to leave, when a soft and charming voice suddenly sounded.
"Zhaojun, why did you come to the mourning family again?"
"Queen Mother, Zhaojun is worried that you are lonely, so I have come to talk to you."
Princess Zhaojun's beautiful eyes flashed slightly, her gaze scanned the hall, and finally landed behind a gorgeous screen, she said as she tiptoed over.
"Wow~"
Princess Zhaojun's jade hand pulled the screen, and she was about to look at the spring bath, when she saw the queen mother in a bathrobe looking at her with a smile.
Zhaojun's eyes fell on the Queen Mother's graceful figure and delicate jade-like skin, swept over the towering peaks, and said with a smile: "The queen mother finished bathing so quickly?" ”
"Or else? Waiting for you, an unfilial daughter, to make a fuss about the mourning family? The Queen Mother rolled her eyes and walked out gracefully.
After sitting down, the Queen Mother said lightly: "Say, what's the matter?" ”
Careful thinking was recognized, Zhaojun did not feel the slightest embarrassment, and immediately walked over to sit next to the Queen Mother, and said excitedly: "Queen Mother, do you guess who I met when I entered the palace?" ”
"Cao Shaoqing." The Queen Mother said lightly.
"Huh? How did the queen mother know? "Zhaojun was shocked, the queen mother was bathing just now, how did she know what happened at the gate of the palace?
"What's so hard about that?"
"If you can enter the palace, you are interested, and it will be that Cao Shaoqing in the past few days." The Queen Mother's tone was indifferent.
Zhaojun nodded, didn't continue to ask, and hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, that Cao Shaoqing is amazing, he hid too deeply, this time that old guy from Chu Yuan suffered a big loss." ”
The Queen Mother's eyes flashed with a different color, and she said, "Oh? Let's hear it. ”
Princess Zhaojun told the news she knew, and the Queen Mother praised it, but she was a little irritable in her heart.
"What a Cao Shaoqing, it's so good, hehe~"
The Queen Mother muttered in her heart, and directly talked about another matter, asking: "Your emperor's brother is going to have sex with the queen, do you know about this?" ”
"Yes." Zhaojun nodded.
"This is a good thing, Sister Linglong is finally going to achieve a positive result, but I pity her in the past few months."
Talking about the queen, Zhaojun sighed, she liked the queen Shui Linglong very much, but the situation was not right before, and she couldn't persuade the emperor's brother to do that kind of thing.
As for the rumors from the outside world, Zhaojun doesn't believe it at all, she and the emperor's brother have played since they were children, and they know each other clearly, how can the emperor's brother be a daughter?
Hearing this, the Queen Mother frowned slightly, and recovered in an instant, and Princess Zhaojun did not notice it in the slightest.
"Isn't it really a daughter?" The Queen Mother said to herself in her heart, she didn't believe it.
She has some clues in her hands, and although there is no evidence, she believes in the rumors.
Who would have thought that Emperor Qian would suddenly have a round house with the queen, once the matter came true, the rumors would be self-defeating, and it could be said that it would be a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle.
"I want to see if you want to draw your salary from the bottom of the kettle, or if you want to hide from the world." The Queen Mother sneered in her heart.
..........
Out of the palace, Cao Ze went straight back to the mansion, Cao Zhengyu and Cao Feixue came together, both with excited smiles on their faces.
Cao Ze discussed with the two in the main hall, mainly because Cao Feixue reported to the work, and the framework of the intelligence force [Jinyiwei] that Cao Ze asked her to establish had been set up, and it was ready to take Zhengjing City as the center and radiate the entire Zhongzhou.
On the other side, King Yan's Mansion, King Yan, King Xu and King Zhenwu had a secret meeting.
In the secret room, the three kings attached great importance to the battle outside the city, and their tones were very solemn, and the theme was whether to increase their support for Chu Yuan.
"We all underestimated Cao Shaoqing, I didn't expect him to hide so deeply, and he was full of courage, his methods were ruthless and abnormal, and he was a figure who did great things."
Speaking of Cao Ze, King Yan sighed, and there was a little jealousy on his face.
