Chapter 344: The Two Saints Asked
At the end of the banquet, on the occasion of parting, Wu Meiniang smiled and said: "Early tomorrow morning, several of you will enter the palace, we have something to discuss, remember, especially a few of your main members, don't leave any of them behind!"
"Yes, don't worry, let's come to greet us in the afternoon and talk to my father and queen mother!" Yu'er hurriedly replied.
Gaozong Li Zhi and Empress Wu Meiniang were satisfied, smiled, and then left like a spring breeze.
What exactly did they want to ask? Yu'er couldn't help but think to herself: Could it be something about Brother Han? Or something about Princess Taiping? Or do you want to knock on the side?
As soon as Shangguan Wan'er saw her demeanor, she knew that she was secretly calculating, so she said: "Sister Yu'er, why do you want to do so much? In short, there is one to say, there is two to say, in front of the queen mother, let's just tell the truth, could it be that you have anything to hide?" Seeing Yu'er's uncertain expression, she was a little puzzled.
"What do I have to hide? I don't know what the queen mother is thinking about? If she asks about Brother Han and Princess Taiping, we don't know, wouldn't it be bad? Brother Han and Sister Taiping have no news, what should we do?" Yu'er sighed unconsciously.
As soon as she said this, Shangguan Wan'er was also silent immediately, and for a while, several people were speechless: I don't know what to do!
After a while, Yu'er said: "Let's go back, I hope the queen's tomorrow's problems are not too complicated, otherwise, we really can't deal with it;
At noon the next day, they really entered the palace on time, knowing the dining habits of Gaozong Li Zhi and Empress Wu Meiniang, and they arrived on time, so as not to wait for them for a long time.
Wu Meiniang looked at their appearance and smiled: "You guys are very punctual, okay, very good, then, daughters-in-law, sit down, let's talk after dinner!" After speaking, she had diligently pulled Yu'er to her side, obviously, she was the focus of her attention.
Yu'er calmed down at this time, continued her usual style, and ate calmly, without any panic, and suddenly Shangguan Wan'er was also surprised: her concentration is really high, it seems that she is not under Brother Han, it seems that Brother Han married her as his wife, and he has always loved Youjia, not for no reason, it seems that they cooperate very tacitly!
"Sister Wan'er, what's wrong with you?" it was Pei Yingxue who spoke first.
Shangguan Wan'er smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that Sister Yu'er makes me admire, her concentration is really high, it's even higher than I imagined, haha, admire, admire, Sister Yu'er is smart!" After speaking, her face was full of admiration.
When Yu'er heard this, she only smiled slightly, but she didn't speak, but when Wu Meiniang heard it, she was interested, obviously, she was already in thought, the movements of her hands were not sluggish, and she continued to greet them diligently, but her brows were speculating!
After eating, Wu Meiniang asked: "Yu'er, the affairs of the Xiaoyao Mansion and the Taiping Mansion have always been decided by you, are there any difficulties? Han'er and Taiping are not there, are you uncomfortable?"
"After returning to my mother, although the affairs of Xiaoyao Mansion and Taiping Mansion are not there, I will be in charge of them for the time being, however, I will decide everything after discussing with Wan'er, Shuangshuang, Xue'er, and Yue'er, we have already divided the work, I am only in charge of the affairs of the Taiping Mansion, and the rest is managed by Wan'er, Xue'er, and Yue'er, Wan'er helps the queen to take care of the affairs of the court, and the business affairs are mainly managed by Yue'er, Xue'er is in charge of articles, and Shuangshuang is in charge of the forbidden army; So, I'm still relatively idle!" Yu'er said a little proudly.
Obviously, she doesn't think she has a lot to do, and she deliberately wants to be lazy, which is similar to Xiao Han, both of them like to watch from the sidelines, and don't like to be in charge, it seems that they are more refreshing!
When Wu Meiniang heard this, she was happy: "Why are you the same as Han'er? Two nerds like to hide and play on the side, but that's fine, I like it very much; then, Yue'er, now your business is getting bigger and bigger, and you are going to do business with Persia again, in the future, what are your arrangements and plans?"
"After returning to our mother, we basically don't have any plans, but Princess Taiping said that she wants us to prepare at least one million taels of silver for emergency use, saying that in case there is an emergency in the imperial court, we can provide it to the imperial court at any time, and said that Brother Han is a bodhisattva, and one million taels of silver may not be enough!" Nangong Yue said honestly.
When Gaozong Li Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, and then said: "This Taiping, there is still such a thought, rare, rare! She is a virtuous helper, like Mei Niang, she always wants to lay everything for Han'er, so as not to make him worried!"
When Wu Meiniang heard this, she became even more concerned: This million taels of silver, not too much, not too little, it seems that they really have a plan, is it really for the imperial court to use urgently? Now they have more and more personnel, and all of them are very good, pull it out, I am afraid that it is more than enough to organize a small imperial court, what is Han'er's real purpose? Does he want to fight against himself? Or is it just self-preservation? Even, what tricks does he or he want to play? We must find out.
Thinking of this, she wants to talk to Yu'er even more, perhaps, she will be the best breakthrough!
Gaozong Li Zhi asked for a while, and he was sleepy, Wu Meiniang hurriedly waited for him to rest, and when he came back, the first thing he said was: "Yu'er, come with me, let's go to the Imperial Garden;
When she came to the Imperial Garden, Wu Meiniang was not polite: "Your Taiping Mansion is not simple now, hehe, it is simply a small court in our Tang Dynasty, Yu'er, let's say, what did Han'er and Taiping usually say?
"Yes, Queen Mother, Brother Han said that now that something has happened to Xian and Dan, the prince can no longer take care of the affairs of the court, and said that our Taiping Mansion should pay more attention to the emperor and queen, if you want to be in front, don't let the two saints be embarrassed; Princess Taiping said that the main thing now is to manage the ministers of the court, and the little marquis, especially those who are disobedient like Cheng Yanjin, if they don't listen to the greetings again, they make a mistake, and they must destroy the nine clans, and they also said that things like Xue Gang can't happen again!"
When Wu Meiniang heard this, she was immediately satisfied, but her eyes were like knives, staring directly at her face, and said: "Han'er and Taiping also told us this, and also said that when they came back from the Turks, they should not rectify the dynasty and rectify those who are disobedient, well, very good, I like it very much! Do you have any other intentions? For example, will Han'er want to cultivate their own private power? Even, his ultimate goal is to oppose me?"
When Yu'er heard this, she finally understood: it turned out to be another temptation, it seems that her doubts have not been dispelled, but what is Brother Han's real purpose, does he really have that kind of thought?
Thinking of this, Yu'er smiled: "Queen Mother, the affairs of the Taiping Mansion are mainly in charge of Princess Taiping, Brother Han is just her helper, Taiping's thoughts must be the most clear to the Queen Mother, does the Queen Mother think that Princess Taiping will oppose you? I don't think so, she seems to be just making some necessary preparations, for example, if someone doesn't listen to the Queen Mother's greeting, she will take care of it! I see that as soon as Xue Gang's matter came out, Princess Taiping seemed to have a murderous intention, and she wanted to kill a hundred people, so I don't know if she thinks so, right, or is it wrong?"
"Of course that's right, Taiping thought of me in front of me, okay, very good, really worthy of being my daughter! Okay, to tell you the truth, Yu'er, I want to be the emperor, Taiping and Han'er also support me? What about you? Do you support me?" Wu Meiniang said resolutely.
She finally said what she meant openly, but why did she say it in front of herself?
Yu'er didn't want to speculate, and smiled: "You can ask Yu blind about this, we all listen to Brother Han and Sister Taiping, and we will do whatever they tell us to do, so it doesn't matter what you want to do, the key is that Brother Han and Sister Taiping support you;
When Wu Meiniang heard this, she smiled, but she was also speculating: This girl is not bad, she is also smart, she has a quiet temperament, and she has no quarrel with the world, no wonder Han'er and Taiping like her, well, well, it seems that they do have no selfish thoughts!
Thinking of this, she said proudly again: "Well, very good, you are all very good, our affairs are very clear to everyone, Yu'er, continue to maintain your mentality, just listen to them; to tell you the truth, Yu'er, I, may ascend the throne in two years, as for me, Han'er definitely doesn't want to be the emperor, Taiping, if she likes to be the emperor, she is the emperor; if she doesn't like it, it will be inherited by the two of them, you can assist them well! Let's get along in peace!"
"Yes, don't worry, the queen mother! Brother Han did want to assassinate the emperor, but after they became father and son, all these things changed, and he wanted to be the king of ease, of course, and practice swordsmanship, this is his dream!" Yu'er hurriedly said again, for fear that she still had doubts.
Sure enough, her heart is as clear as a mirror, of course this girl has read Han'er's inner world, well, that's the best!
Wu Meiniang thought about it, and smiled with satisfaction: "Well, very good, you are all very good, this meaning slowly penetrates into them, but I see that these girls are very obedient, good, very good, you just need to do a good job;
She finally told the truth again, it turned out that she had always been worried about the Qin family, especially after Xue Gang's incident, she was even more worried about the Qin family, and even wanted to raise a knife.
When Yu'er heard this, her heart was terrified: It seems that, as Brother Han said, the affairs of this court are really not fun, and they are simply annoying; fortunately, they are just watching from the sidelines now, and the rest of the matter, forget it, let the future emperor decide!
"Yes, don't worry, the queen mother, we will all be loyal to the father and the queen mother!" Yu'er hurriedly promised.
Wu Meiniang smiled happily, looked at her a few more times, and then said proudly: "I didn't expect Yu'er to be so knowledgeable and interesting, and her heart is as clear as a mirror, okay, very good! Remember, the affairs of the Taiping Mansion are now in charge, by the way, that night pearl, tell Han'er, let the Sword Palace send one is enough; the palace can appreciate it, what is that kind of thing for? Maybe you have to guard against thieves! Call the palace master of the Sword Palace and Yun'er to come together, and only leave a few palace maids to guard the Sword Palace, they know what to do!"
"Yes, Queen Mother, we will pass the news in a while, and they will come back in about ten days, but they may still have to go back to this Sword Palace, Brother Han said that they still have to study the secrets of the Sword Palace!" Yu'er hurriedly explained.
Wu Meiniang actually breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said: "It's pleasant to talk to Yu'er, no wonder Han'er and Taiping like you, okay, you're very good, according to your meaning;
Hearing this, Yu'er was stunned again: Could it be that she really likes Brother Han too? Why?
