Kunning Palace, inside the Fengyi Palace.

Queen Lin sat in the center, with phoenix eyes full of majesty, showing the bearing of the mother in the world.

On the left and right sides of the hall, there are more than ten concubines in the palace, all kneeling in front of the desk, holding jade to pay homage to the queen.

At this moment, a palace maid came over and bowed her head and said, "Qi Yu Niangniang, Du Zhenren has arrived!"

Queen Lin's eyes lit up suddenly, and she put down the jade and said, "Hurry up, please!"

The palace maid obeyed the order, and Queen Lin smiled at the concubines and said, "Today, the palace has invited a distinguished guest, and I will introduce you later!"

"The queen mother said that the distinguished guest, but the newly canonized national protector spirit was transported to Wu Huaide Zhenren?" asked the top beauty on the right, with a beautiful face and a noble temperament.

"Not bad!" Queen Lin nodded with a smile, all the concubines have ears and eyes in the court, and such a big event happened in the early dynasty, which will naturally reach the ears of everyone present.

"I have always only heard of his name, but I have not seen him, but today I can witness the demeanor of the real person who protects the country!" said another beautiful woman in palace clothes with a good face and a plump body.

After a short time, the palace maid led a black-clothed young man into the hall.

"Du Chongxiao has seen the queen mother, and I have seen all the mothers!" Du Chongxiao bowed lightly and saluted Queen Lin and the concubines.

The concubines cast their eyes on him, but saw that his thick eyebrows were in the sideburns, his eyes were as bright as stars, and his body was high-spirited and unearthly, but he had the power of a dignified man. In my heart, although this young man is not handsome, he is very attractive.

"Real people are exempt!" Queen Lin raised her hand lightly and said with a false invitation: "Please take a seat!" In the Fengyi Palace, the concubines were lined up on both sides. There is only one seat in the lower left of Queen Lin, which is unmanned, and I think it is specially set up for Du Chongxiao.

Wait for Du Chongxiao to sit down. Its own palace maid stepped forward to pour it full of wine. The hall was full of powder, smelling the fragrance, but Du Chongxiao felt extremely uncomfortable. After the canonization ceremony, the queen sent someone to invite him personally, and he was inconvenient to brush his face, so he had to come to deal with it, but he didn't expect it to be such a pomp!

"Du Zhenren is a young hero, and he is shocked by the world. He has made many miraculous achievements for my Daqin, and the title of a real person who protects the country is well deserved. This cup in this palace should be congratulated by a real person!" Queen Lin raised her jade and said in a loud voice.

"Queen Xie. Du Chongxiao had to raise a glass of thanks.

Queen Lin drank it all, the concubines didn't dare not follow, and Du Chongxiao had no choice but to drink all the wine in the cup.

After drinking the first glass of wine, a concubine asked, "Du Zhenren is not wearing a Taoist robe. The second does not claim to be poor, and the third does not proclaim the immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, no matter how you look at it, you don't look like an outsider!"

Du Chongxiao looked for prestige, but saw that this concubine was wearing a sea robe and a six-tailed silver phoenix hairpin. Seems to be better than the queen. Meimu looked at him, vaguely provocative, and couldn't help frowning secretly, how could he have provoked this lady. He didn't know that this lady concubine was the biological mother of the twelfth prince Qin Lie.

Since the last time he was beaten by Qin Zheng in Tianxia Academy, Qin Lie returned to the palace to add fuel and vinegar. said all the bad things about Du Chongxiao. Concubine Niangniang was naturally resentful, knowing that Du Chongxiao was hot now. But he couldn't help but sneer.

"This is Concubine Shu!" Empress Lin said lightly.

"Back to Concubine Shu, the family teacher has a saying: Cultivation is to cultivate the mind, as long as there is Tao in the heart, but there is no need to be confined to all kinds of appearances!" Du Chongxiao's expression was calm, and he sacrificed to the master and respected the Dafa, and asked the concubine back: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, if the mother wears a Taoist robe, claims to be poor, and proclaims the immeasurable Tianzun, is she an outsider?"

Concubine Shu was speechless for a moment, she was angry but worried about the identity of the other party, and it was even more inconvenient to lose her demeanor in front of the queen. Then he reluctantly smiled and said: "The real person is reasonable, I am just curious, and I have no offense, please forgive the real person!"

"Niangniang's words are serious!" Du Chongxiao bowed slightly, and returned the salute, indicating that he didn't care.

It was just a short round of verbal confrontation, but it made Queen Lin, Concubine Shu and other concubines understand the power of this young man's words.

"Dare to ask the real person Gao Shou?" Seeing that Concubine Shu was frustrated, a concubine was not angry in her heart, and asked again.

Du Chongxiao was not yet a weak crown, but she deliberately called it Gao Shou, and her irony was overflowing: But a yellow-mouthed child, even if he sealed the real person, how could he dare to pretend to be big in front of the palace?

"If you don't say longevity, you have to let Niangniang down!" Du Chongxiao smiled slightly, and his answer was also a pun. No matter how old I am, I am a member of the Daomen, so why should I compare my life with mortals like you!

The concubine touched a soft nail, and the smile on her face couldn't help but suffocate, and she was speechless.

Looking at Concubine Hua with a depressed expression, Queen Lin secretly sneered, this Concubine Hua and Concubine Shu formed a faction in the harem, flattered and competed for favor, and disobeyed her, the queen. Now that she saw that these two people were stunned, she naturally felt happy in her heart.

With the experience of Concubine Shu and Concubine Hua, all the concubines put away their contempt and did not dare to offend with words. From beginning to end, Du Chongxiao is looking at the nose with his eyes, his nose at the heart, few words, and cherishing words like gold.

After eating a few more glasses of wine, the concubines got up one after another and retired.

Du Chongxiao is also ready to leave. In this harem, it is not a place for men to stay for a long time, even if he is now a real person who protects the country, he must avoid suspicion.

"Du Zhenren stays for the time being!" Queen Lin's call made Du Chongxiao have to stay for the time being.

"What does the queen have to say?" Du Chongxiao asked with a light bow.

"Let's all retreat!" Queen Lin swept her phoenix eyes, and the palace maids and servants all retreated cleanly. In the Fengyi Palace, only the lord of the six palaces of Great Qin and the newly sealed protector of the country remain.

Empress Lin stepped down the jade steps and slowly walked in front of Du Chongxiao, her phoenix eyes stared deeply at the other party's face, but she didn't say a word for a while.

It is in the late spring season, the phoenix driving the gauze is thin, and the "seyu" hair is red and the skin is better than the snow, and the demeanor is all right. The phoenix's eyes are deep and unfathomable, the red lips are thick and full, and a desire for power is revealed everywhere!

Du Chongxiao still looked at his nose with his eyes, did not squint, and waited patiently for the queen's question.

"Du Zhenren, do you want to become the crown prince?" After a long time, Queen Lin finally opened the golden mouth, and a little fragrant smell floated on the other party's face.

"Unintentionally!" Du Chongxiao shook his head. He was reluctant to accept Qin Zheng as a disciple, and Ruli was still interested in becoming the prince's teacher. However, when I carefully grasped the words of the queen, I suddenly felt a shock in my heart, the word 'prince' can refer to the current crown prince in particular, but also to others in general. For example, if Qin Zhengru becomes the crown prince, isn't he the crown prince?

immediately understood that the queen's question was a pun. In fact, it is to test whether Du Chongxiao has the idea of supporting Qin Zheng as the prince!

"There are still no heirs in this palace, and I intend to succeed the fourteenth prince Qin Zheng under my knees, I don't know what the real person wants?" Empress Lin continued to ask.

Du Chongxiao was slightly stunned, and suddenly felt extremely ridiculous in his heart, and frowned: "This is a holy family matter, how dare people outside my side say more?"

"This palace has mentioned this matter to the Holy Lord, and the Holy Lord only said that he must be willing to engage in politics. This palace knows that Zheng'er trusts the real person, so he wants to ask the real person to say something. If this matter is successful, it will be a beautiful thing for the palace, for the politicians, and even for the real person. This palace will also love Zheng'er as much as it loves its own child!" said Queen Lin, softening her voice.

"The meaning of the queen mother, I will explain it to Her Royal Highness the Fourteenth, but I don't dare to promise the queen mother what the result will be. Du Chongxiao's eyebrows showed a thoughtful look, and he replied after a while.

"So Lao Zhenren!" Queen Lin's red lips provoked, showing a bright smile, and said: "No matter what the result is, this palace owes a favor!"

After a pause, he stared at the young man's eyes with phoenix eyes and said, "Does Du Zhenren think that the words of this palace are presumptuous?"

"Don't dare!" Du Chongxiao replied that he didn't dare, not no. In fact, it is quite suspicious of being shallow and deep in terms of what the queen has entrusted to him.

Queen Lin's face suddenly showed sadness, and she sighed softly: "There was a brother in this palace, and his appearance and demeanor are quite similar to real people, but it is a pity that the young man is stubborn, he has never listened to the words of this palace, his life is shallow and blessed, and he unfortunately died before the weak crown. When I saw the real person that day, I felt kind, as if I had seen my own brother, so some things that should not be said were said very naturally!"

The affectionate style that Queen Lin said was heartbroken, but Du Chongxiao was terrified when he heard it, and there was a cool breath behind him. It seems that if he doesn't want to end up with a tragic end of 'shallow life and unfortunate death', then he can only obediently listen to the orders of this 'sister'!

"The queen mother still has to look at it, the life and death of people are like meteors in the sky, coming and going in a hurry. As soon as you and I close our eyes today and open them again, the day has passed, and if we don't open them, our lives have passed. Life and death, it's just as simple!" Du Chongxiao replied indifferently.

When Queen Lin heard this, the sadness on her face disappeared, she looked at Du Chongxiao in surprise, and after a while, she slowly nodded and said: "A real person is so old that he has such a thorough understanding of the way of life and death, which really makes this palace admire!"

Subsequently, Queen Lin stretched out her jade hand and handed a jade pendant engraved with a Luan phoenix pattern in front of Du Chongxiao: "This pendant is called Qingshen, which has the effect of calming the mind and concentrating on the mind, driving away evil spirits and avoiding poisons.

"Thank you for the reward. Du Chongxiao didn't refuse, stretched out his hand to take the jade pendant, and bowed down to thank him.

"This palace is sincere, I really want to have a younger brother like a real person! Please don't let this palace down!" Queen Lin's phoenix eyes flashed with tenderness, and she patted Du Chongxiao's arm affectionately.

Only then did he raise his voice and say: "Come on, send Du Zhenren out of the palace!"

Du Chongxiao walked out of Kunning Palace, frowning along the way. Empress Lin was so noble and respectful, coercing and enticing him to speak for Qin Zheng, and her ambition was clearly revealed.

It seems that because of the surrender of mountains and rivers to Qingzhou, this queen mother seems to have hit Qin Zheng with her idea.

This is a terrible woman who is ambitious and will stop at nothing to achieve her goals!

This is Du Chongxiao's evaluation of Queen Lin!
