Zhao Xi saw the queen's sad appearance, and couldn't help but soften his heart, and said softly: "Mother, the child is not stupid, you don't have to worry, you just need to watch the child hold this country in front of you with peace of mind." ”

"Xi'er ......" The queen wanted to step forward and pull Zhao Xi's hand, but her feet moved, and forcibly stopped, she taught Zhao Xi to always maintain a kingly bearing since she was a child, so she rarely did these emotional actions in front of him.

Zhao Xi took the initiative to step forward and take the queen's hand and said: "Don't worry, everything has been arranged, mother, you can watch the play with peace of mind, and you will trust the child once on the back official's side, don't make any more moves, after all, they are all brothers, they are all concubines, and the officials of the court and the people of the world are watching." ”

The queen paused, pulled away Zhao Xi's hand, and said coldly: "Are you starting to think that your mother is in the way now?" Do you know how much your mother sacrificed for your position as the crown prince and prince, and how many people died in your mother's family, so that you can grow up as safe as you are now? Now that the opportunity has come, you are still full of benevolence, morality, courtesy, righteousness, and shame.

"What are the hundred officials of the imperial court? Obedient is a dog, and disobedient is not even a dog, this is what your father hides in his heart. What do the people of the world know? ”

"My mother never worries about whether you are smart enough, my mother is worried that you are not despicable and insidious enough, worried that you care too much about other people's eyes and self-restraint, your father never cares about anyone's opinion, there are only two kinds of people in his eyes, winners and losers. ”

As she spoke, the queen straightened her face again: "You haven't understood this truth, it seems that you are still too tender...... No matter how the palace is laid out thousands of miles away, what my mother can do now is to help you lock up the 12 palaces of the harem, help you detain the mothers of your brothers, and leave the last way back for you. ”

"Don't tell me not to mess around or anything, the things on this side of the palace have been done, the people on this side of the palace have been arranged, there is not much time left for you, don't say that the mother doesn't remind you, the secret letter of those mothers out of the palace was robbed by the palace, Ximo Road and Beilin Road and even Jiangnan are already preparing, if you don't speed up......"

"If so...... If you lose, it is estimated that those mothers will not give us another chance, and my mother will help you detain a few of them, and when the time comes, it will be a big deal to break up, no one should think about it, haha. ”

Speaking of this, the queen's expression was a little crazy.

She was alone, she kept the dormitory alone day and night, and in her boredom she had fallen into countless self-deliac fantasies, and even preconceived the rites of her own funeral several times.

Although the Forbidden Deep Palace is quiet, the vortex of infighting is even more dangerous than that in the court, because the harem is smaller and the room for maneuver is narrower.

On the narrow battlefield of the harem, a smile, and even a look are knives, arrows, weapons, and talisman armor.

In this harem, everyone needs to be on guard, everyone's life is very difficult, especially the queen mother who has been wiped out of her mother's power.

The ladies here, which family is not the male armor side, which family is not the family of the former dynasty heroes who assisted Emperor Qing, no matter which one is taken out alone, it can crush the queen and the prince who have no relatives to the ground.

But in such a difficult situation, the queen relied on the balancing power of the Qingdi to stubbornly maintain the iron-fisted suppression of the east and west signs, and the bitterness required in this process was completely incomprehensible to outsiders.

So now there is finally an opportunity to turn over, as long as you seize this opportunity, you can rebuild your own power and stabilize the crown prince's throne.

The queen will never let go of this opportunity, even if the means are a little more despicable, she must seize it.

That's why she began to deal with the people around the harem mother, just to increase the chances of winning for the prince and add some worries to the other princes.

But now Zhao Xi's expression makes the queen mother very sad, even her own son doesn't understand her, can't give her a trace of comfort, and even has a hint of accusation to persuade her not to move, how can this make the queen mother not go crazy?

The queen wanted to go crazy, and Zhao Xi gradually became irritable because of repeated persuasions, and the atmosphere in the hall cooled down for a while.

The complicated palace fighting prince of the harem will not pay attention to it from time to time, so the prince can't understand the queen's radical mood at the moment.

And the prince's grand plan was unwilling to be revealed to the queen, a woman, so now the two of them are frozen here, each sulking in their own way.

After being quiet for a long time, the queen's face became worse and worse, and finally a eunuch was relieved.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there is an urgent matter in the imperial court that requires you to come to the Qinzheng Palace to make a decision. The eunuch shouted outside the hall to see him.

Zhao Xi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly to the queen: "Mother, you don't need to worry, the child must finish as soon as possible, it is enough for you to protect yourself, the child will go to deal with government affairs first, and then come to visit you in a few days." ”

"Go ahead, my mother can guarantee that there will be no news from the harem to outsiders, and you can arrange the rest by yourself. The queen waved her hand coldly and turned away.

There is no need for this, and maintaining communication with the outside world in the harem can confuse the opponent even more...... The prince couldn't say this sentence after all, and finally hurriedly bowed and left.

When I arrived at the Qinzheng Pavilion, several important ministers of the imperial court were already waiting there, the first assistant Guan Ping, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Niu Hong, the Taichang Temple Qing Wugang, the Zongren Mansion Cheng Yifan, and the small national teacher were also listed.

The prince smiled, greeted everyone very gracefully, and then pretended to be puzzled and asked Guan Ping: "Lord Shoufu, I don't know why you need to summon Xiao Wang here to make up the numbers?"

Guan Ping first turned sideways to avoid the salute, and then did not answer first, but just looked at Niu Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

"Oh, Niu Qing has something to do with this king?" The prince didn't think it was strange, and followed to look at Niu Hong.

Niu Hongben dared to grasp his identity like Guan Ping, so he could only hold back a glance at Taichang Temple Qing Wugang, and honestly saluted the prince and replied: "His Royal Highness the Prince, or because of this matter of sacrificing to the sky, Lord Wu insisted that all the things to be sacrificed to the heavens have been prepared, and the personnel of all parties are also in place, this ...... This one... The minister still asked Lord Wu to explain to His Highness more accurately. ”

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to Wugang and threw this burden to Wugang.

Wugang was refreshing, and he spoke quickly as soon as he bowed: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky has been prepared, this ceremony is the important ceremony of the country that has been handed down through the ages, praying for the heavens on behalf of the people, the upper can be safe and the country can be blessed, and the lower can bless the people, which can not be changed easily, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be held on time." ”

After finishing speaking, he knelt down to Zhao Xi seriously, as if he was holding the happiness of the common people on his body.

"Wu Qing, please get up, please get up~" When Zhao Xi just saw Wu Gang's waist, he quickly reached out and wanted to help Wu Gang up, preventing him from kneeling and bowing.

Unexpectedly, Wu Gang forced his body, and insisted on finishing this ceremony slowly and solemnly, Zhao Xi's strength was not strong enough, so he could only half-bend down to accept this ceremony, until Wu Gang finished this ceremony, Zhao Xi could follow and straighten his waist, and his face was green.
