Hearing the shopkeeper Yang of the "Silver Music Fang" talk about the queen, "He Gongzi" anxiously asked: "What kind of great thing did the queen do? Does she dare to disobey the queen mother's decree and do something out of the ordinary?"

Shopkeeper Yang drank a cup of tea and said slowly: " It is said that in order to thank Concubine De for saving her life, when she found out that Concubine Sun Xianglan sent assassins to try to assassinate Concubine De, she used the excuse of Concubine Xian in the harem to play right and wrong and stirred up the harem chickens and dogs, and issued a decree to demote Sun Xianglan from Concubine Xian to Zhaoyi, after Sun Xianglan learned the news that she was demoted, she went to the Queen Mother and complained to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother said that now the harem is in charge of the queen, and it is inconvenient for her to intervene; , Although he is the emperor, he said before that he can't meddle in the affairs of the harem, Sun Zhaoyi was so angry that he cried for three days in a row. However, although the Queen Mother abided by the previous agreement with the Queen, she did not intervene in the matter of the Queen's decree to degrade Sun Xianglan, but the Queen Mother was very disgusted with the Queen Mother doing this, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, the Queen was a timid and afraid person, but this time she temporarily let her take power, she dared to take Sun Xianglan and demote Sun Xianglan to Zhaoyi, which made the Queen Mother feel incredible, and also surprised and annoyed, the Queen Mother felt from the Queen that her authority had been greatly weakened in the harem recently。 Even her niece didn't respect her anymore; the emperor was her biological son, and for the runaway concubine, she actually ran to her bedroom to make a big fuss about her, and the people around her didn't listen to her, and the queen mother felt very lost, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and in the past few days, the queen mother was so angry that her illness became more and more serious. ”

"Shopkeeper Yang, you are really powerful, such a confidential thing in the harem. You can hear it so clearly. You are very remarkable, but is the news you said true, and is the source of the news reliable?" asked.

"Of course it's reliable. Definitely the exact news!" Shopkeeper Yang lowered his voice and said, "He Gongzi." I'll tell you the truth. These messages came from a powerful eunuch under the master of ceremonies, Zhang Gonggong, and it is inconvenient to say his name in the following, so please forgive the son. The news he sent must be reliable, he is an old friend with him, in this gambling house, he often helps him, he will never pass on the fake news to him, please believe it. Shopkeeper Yang said with confidence.

"He Gongzi" thought: "This Yang shopkeeper is very powerful, he must have given Zhang Gonggong's gambling house chips, or helped Zhang Gonggong's subordinates cheat in the gambling house, so Zhang Gonggong's subordinates did not dare to deceive him, because there was a handle in the hands of Yang Zhang's shopkeeper, it seems that the news that Yang Gonggong's detective heard is true." From this point of view, the queen is not only a person with affection and righteousness, but she is also a woman who has courage and knowledge and dares to do great things. "Zhang Gongzi" secretly admired the queen, and "he" reminded himself in his heart that if the queen encountered any difficulties in the future, "he" would definitely lend a helping hand to her.

"Shopkeeper Yang, you are very capable, my son is looking for you right, my father rarely praises others, this time he recommended you to me, he must know that you are a master in collecting intelligence, you are indeed very methodical, by the way, you just said that Sun Xianglan cried after being demoted from a virtuous concubine to Zhaoyi, so, what happened later? Could it be that Sun Xianglan accepted the fact of being degraded with reluctance?" "He Gongzi" asked.

"How can it, of course the matter did not end there, Sun Xianglan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, how can she stop there, she immediately spread the news to her mother's family, using the strong power of her mother's family, to put pressure on the queen, it is said that Sun Xianglan's grandfather is a founding old general, once fought the world with the old emperor, her father was the head of the household Shangshu, and the relationship with several palm seal eunuchs in the inner court is extraordinary, this time, the Sun family contacted the palm seal eunuch Shen Deyi to wait until the emperor went to complain, begging the emperor to issue an order for the queen to withdraw the decree, it is conceivable that the pressure faced by the queen is also very great。 Shopkeeper Yang said.

"It seems that Sun Xianglan's family is still very energetic, and dares to force the emperor to let the queen change her will, there are such courtiers in the court, this is amazing, it is conceivable that the emperor of this dynasty is not easy to be. "He Gongzi" said.

"Sun Xianglan's maiden family has a prominent power, it is said that her grandfather is a veteran in the court who is not afraid of anyone except the emperor, he often abuses the minister in front of everyone, and even the queen mother has to speak to him in a polite tone, this time the queen demoted Sun Xianglan to Zhaoyi, but it is an amazing big move, many people are stunned by the queen's bold move!"

"I heard that Concubine Xian is shrewd and sleek, like a fish in water in the harem, she has been competing for the throne of the imperial concubine, and it is said that she is very good at flattery, very respectful and filial to the queen mother, very respectful and polite to the queen, and dedicated to the emperor, the queen is not bad to her, how could he suddenly be demoted to Zhaoyi, is there another reason?" "He Gongzi" asked.

Although the queen is gentle and submissive, but her vision is very powerful, she knows that Sun Xianglan is usually polite and humble to people in the harem, she knows Sun Xianglan very well, and knows that Sun Xianglan is a powerful character who bends down and pretends to be cowardly for power and profit, and now the queen mother is sick, if Sun Xianglan is promoted from the concubine to the imperial concubine, it is possible to take over the power of the queen mother to control the harem, and the harem will not be peaceful in the future, so the queen will be strong first, and demote the virtuous concubine to Zhaoyi, so that Sun Xianglan will lose the opportunity to be in charge of the harem, and the queen will not show weakness in major matters。 Shopkeeper Yang said.

"After you say this, the queen is a person who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she can afford to let go of heavy things, and she also knows Concubine Xian very well, she can easily deal with Concubine Xian, right?" "Gongzi He" asked.

"Concubine Xian is very good at small things, but she is confused in big things, so. Although she entered the palace and became a concubine, she was a woman that the Sun family couldn't support, she couldn't get the real trust of the queen mother, she didn't have the ability to make the emperor favor, she couldn't fight Concubine De, and she was defeated in the hands of the queen, all she could do was to make an alliance with Shen Deyi and other powerful eunuchs in the palace, in fact, she was used by Shen Deyi and others. Reputedly. This time, the ministers of the court predicted that it would be difficult for Sun Xianglan to turn over, and it would be difficult for her family to save her. Shopkeeper Yang analyzed.

"Shopkeeper Yang. It's really nice to be friends with you. Unexpectedly. You know everything about the palace and analyze the affairs of the palace to the fullest, if you don't see you as the shopkeeper of the 'Silver Music Place' with your own eyes. I will definitely think that you are a big internal manager, in the future, when this son comes here to gamble a few games, he will often ask the shopkeeper Yang, thank you! You have talked so much, you must be very thirsty, go add some tea!" "He Gongzi" said, and added two taels of silver to the shopkeeper Yang, "he" knew that the casino shopkeeper did not care about the two taels of silver, but "he" said that it was a respect for the shopkeeper Yang, and the other party must be happy.

"Thank you Gongzi He, you have praised it falsely, the important figure in the court of Lord Lingtang, you must know more about the inner court and the outer court, it is just hearsay in the next, it is a great luck to have the opportunity to communicate with He Gongzi, you will often come here to play in the future, 'Yinle Fang' still has fun matters, and I am waiting for the arrival of He Gongzi at any time!"

"Xiaobai" has been listening to the dialogue between "He Gongzi" and Yang Shopkeeper, "He" admires "He Gongzi" from the heart, and feels that "He Gongzi" can make the other party respectfully and respectfully tell such an important news in the face of an experienced gambling veteran like Yang Shopkeeper, which is really amazing.

"Xiaobai" has been listening quietly, not daring to interject a word, at this time, "he" realized that "He Gongzi" was going to say goodbye to Shopkeeper Yang, "He" asked: "Shopkeeper Yang is really amazing, know so much important news, are these news of yours talking about what happened in the past few days?"

"Of course, if it weren't for the latest news, how would I dare to tell your son-in-law about it? It is definitely the latest news, at this time, Sun Xianglan Zhaoyi is still in a stalemate with the queen, and the Sun family is still active in the court, trying to redeem the defeat. Shopkeeper Yang said.

"Haha, this scholar is a childish temper, very curious, like to ask this and that, if there is any impoliteness, please forgive Yang shopkeeper!"

"He Gongzi said there, this 'Xiaobai' is very smart, he asked very right, any news, the first important feature is to be new, and new information is valuable. 'Xiaobai', in the future, I often accompany your son-in-law to 'Yinle Fang' to play, if you want to know anything, just ask. Shopkeeper Yang said.

"Thank you Shopkeeper Yang, I will often come to ask you in the future, you are a 'messenger', and together with you, you can grow a lot of knowledge!"

"He Gongzi" led "Xiaobai" to say goodbye to Shopkeeper Yang and left "Yinle Fang", and "they" went to the inn to pick up He Xiaohui and left the capital.

"He Gongzi" felt that this time out of the mountain, the planned task was basically completed, and when he heard the latest news about the palace, "he" felt that the harem was in chaos, "he" was glad that he had left that place, and at the same time, the news that "he" heard also made "he" more determined to form a new sect, "he" secretly thought in his heart that if the arrogance of a wicked person like Shen Deyi was not beaten down, there would be good people like "his" father He Junjie who would continue to be framed.

"He Gongzi" also felt that this time out of the mountain, by chance, "he" met He Xiaohui and brought her back to "Cuizhu Mountain" smoothly, "He Gongzi" was very happy, and "he" felt that "Funeral Valley" had added new strength.

"He Gongzi" and the other three returned to "Cuizhu Mountain" smoothly, walking on the mountain, "Xiaobai" was very happy, "he" said loudly to the rocks on the mountain: "I have returned to the 'Cuizhu Mountain' again, it is so quiet here, so comfortable, or here, I like this beautiful mountain, I like the quiet deep valley in the mountain!"

"It's all the noise in the capital, it's still quiet here, and you're starting to get used to living here, right?" "He Gongzi" said to "Xiaobai".

"Of course, how nice it is here, the mountains and rivers are beautiful. "Xiaobai" said, she turned her head to He Xiaohui and said: "Xiaohui, let's walk into the valley in a while, the valley is the 'paradise' where we live, I don't know if you will like it here, anyway, I like this scene very much." ”

"It's amazing, steep rocks, verdant trees, quiet environment, you and 'He Gongzi' would live in such a place, it's so fun, Xiaohui also likes it very much!" He Xiaohui said.

They walked into the valley, Lin Pinghe had already come out of it, and he said loudly: "You are finally back, you have been going for a few days, the old man is looking forward to your coming back every day, as if you have been out for a long time, now it's okay, you are back, by the way, why do you put on makeup like this, the old man almost didn't recognize you." ”

"Uncle Lin, don't break the mystery first, we have brought a beautiful and smart little girl, her name is He Xiaohui; "Xiaobai" said happily.

"You call this Lang Zhong 'Uncle Lin', but Xiao Hui doesn't dare to call him that, he looks much older than Xiao Hui's father, he is very much like Xiao Hui's 'uncle', he is a grandfather, we should respect him as an old man." He Xiaohui said.

"Hahaha, yes, the old man is old enough, it's from his grandfather's generation, that's right, Xiaohui is very smart, uncle welcomes you to the valley!" Lin Pinghe said happily.

"Uncle Lin, let's go freshen up, you take Xiaohui into the cave to drink tea first, and we'll come in a while. "Lin Gongzi" said.

"Okay, uncle will have a good chat with the new smart little granddaughter, you guys go and get busy!" Lin Pinghe said.

"He Gongzi" walked to the cave, "Xiaobai" followed behind, "Xiaobai" smiled at He Xiaohui, showed a mysterious expression, and also entered the cave.

He Xiaohui has been chatting with Lin Pinghe, she asked some about the situation of "Cuizhu Mountain", Lin Pinghe carefully told her about the beautiful scenery on this mountain, especially greatly praised the elegance and tranquility of this valley, He Xiaohui listened very attentively.

An hour later, He Xiaohui heard footsteps coming from the cave, she turned her head to look, and suddenly saw two very beautiful women coming out of the cave, one looked to be thirty-five or six years old, and the other looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old, she was surprised, and thought to herself, how could this beautiful woman be hidden in this cave?
