Ansan is a beautiful woman, twenty-five years old. After Xu Zifan explained to her the matter of sending her to the Queen Mother's side as a meticulous work, Ansan's momentum changed, and she immediately became a harmless and law-abiding maid. . Xu Zifan was very satisfied, and gave her more than a dozen high-quality medicines in the space, including internal and external injury medicines, poisons, life-saving medicines, etc., trying to make her task easier.
When sending Ansan into the palace, Xu Zifan solemnly told her, "I have 10,000 ways to make her fail. You don't need to risk your life. Once you encounter a life-and-death crisis, it is important to save your life and retreat immediately."
"Yes, Master." An San bowed his eyes, "Mo Yun wrote it down."
"Mo Yun" was Ansan's name as a palace maid. They separated at the gate of the palace, Xu Zifan went to the court, and Mo Yun followed the eunuch to Anci Palace to see the queen mother. Mo Yun was given to Fu Yuhua by Xu Zifan himself, and he specifically pointed out the shortage of Xiangyun. Even if he sent the person a few days late, Fu Yuhua still had to keep his seat. But after meeting and asking a few questions, Fu Yuhua smiled and asked Mo Yun to be one of the four palace maids by his side. In private, he told the other three maids to keep an eye on Mo Yun and not allow Mo Yun to come into contact with anything she didn't want Xu Zifan to know about. matter.
Mo Yun was in Anci Palace for a few days, following the rules and doing his best to do his job well, never walking around asking questions, and having no intention of inquiring or monitoring. Mo Yun also gets along very harmoniously with the big palace maid, the maid, and the little palace maid. She loves to laugh very much, has a gentle voice, has her own bottom line on major matters, and never cares about small matters, just like a weak, gentle, optimistic and cheerful woman.
This made Fu Yuhua a little confused. She deliberately pretended to be bored, took Mo Yun to the imperial garden for a walk, and sighed: "Ordinary people think that Tian's family lives a carefree life, but sometimes, Aijia would also envy the simple joys of ordinary people. Just talking about marrying a daughter-in-law, how can people outside be so troublesome? I don’t know who my son’s queen will be.”
Mo Yun stood on her right back, bowed his head slightly, and his voice was smiling and respectful, "The Empress Dowager is too worried, forgive the slaves and servants, the emperor has always been filial to the Empress Dowager, no matter which noble person becomes the Empress Dowager in the future, he will be like The emperor is generally filial to you. The common people work hard for their livelihood, and there are often conflicts between mother and son, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but the empress dowager has a noble status and a loving heart. In the future, she will be able to enjoy the blessings of her daughter-in-law and family happiness."
Fu Yuhua glanced at her with a smile, "Your mouth is really sweet, 'Happy family', yes, all Aijia asks for now are these four words. As long as the emperor is good, Aijia will naturally have no worries. Mo Yun, How long have you been with the regent? On weekdays, does the regent talk to you like this to relieve boredom?"
Mo Yun smiled and said: "The slave was bought by the housekeeper of the palace half a year ago. The housekeeper asked the slave to go to the prince's study to bring tea and water when he saw that the servant never had much trouble. The prince occasionally said a few words with the servant in his spare time. He praised the servants for being 'transparent', but didn't say much. A few days ago, the lord asked someone to teach the servants the rules of the palace, and instructed the servants to serve the queen mother, and don't bother the mother. already."
"Oh? What did he say?" Fu Yuhua narrowed his eyes and looked at the pond, seemingly casual, but he was actually waiting to hear Mo Yun's answer.
Mo Yun smiled and said: "The lord said that the empress dowager is the most kind-hearted and kind-hearted, and she doesn't like to worry about others, but it is easy to get upset. The lord instructed the servants to look after the servants around you who are not attentive and make you unhappy, saying that you deserve to enjoy the sky. The most relaxing and happy days below, let the slaves do their best, and try to make you have more fun, that is the great fortune of slaves. The lord also said that as long as the slaves can make the queen mother happy, in the future, when the slaves are old, they will be given to the slaves. The slaves have a large yard and a few servants, so that the slaves can enjoy their old age in peace. Empress Dowager, the old age is still early, the slaves dare not think about it. In this life, the slaves can enter the palace to serve the most honorable queen mother in the world. It is already a great fortune. already."
Fu Yuhua was relieved to hear these words, and the corners of his mouth curved up unconsciously. She paid close attention to Mo Yun, Mo Yun's eyes were sincere and his expression relaxed, obviously what he said was true. It seemed that Xu Zifan still cared about her very much. She was really worried that she would be bored, so she sent a caring and sensible girl. She thought that Xu Zifan wanted to monitor her and was so nervous.
After this time, although Fu Yuhua still told people to let Mo Yun go, she didn't pay more attention. After all, she believed that she was good at seeing people and knew people, and she had a high scheming. She didn't see Mo Yun's threat, so Mo Yun naturally There is no need for her to be the enemy. This is also the first step for Mo Yun to break into the Anci Palace. When others speak seven points of truth and three points of falsehood, they can turn the truth into a false one. Mo Yun's words only need one point of truth and nine points of falsehood to be convincing. This is her ability, and she successfully used Fu Yuhua's psychology to let her down.
Mo Yun took the first step of success in the palace, and Xu Zifan was not idle outside the palace. He mentioned the matter of establishing the queen in the court, and really called several ministers to the palace to discuss which girl is suitable to be the mother of a country.
He asked Xiangyun to wait and make tea for everyone, and while tasting the tea, he said, "My lords, I invite you to this king today because I want to discuss with you about the choice of the queen."
Xiangyun's eyes lit up, he lowered his head to make tea silently, and listened to their conversation with pricked ears.
Several ministers looked at each other calmly, and tentatively mentioned two families, "My lord, the eldest daughter of the Minister of War seems to be the age to discuss marriage, and the age of Chen Guogong's granddaughter is also suitable." One of the two families is There are important court officials with real power, and the other is a noble family without real power. When they mentioned these two, they also wanted to test whether Xu Zifan really wanted to find a useful force for the emperor, or just wanted to fool the emperor.
Xu Zifan narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile, "I don't know which adults know something about the girls from these two families, and what kind of temperament they are?"
The expression of the minister who had just opened his mouth changed, and he quickly said, "Your Highness forgives my sins, the minister has not had contact with the female relatives of these two families, so the proposal was too hasty."
Xiangyun was a little anxious, these people were too afraid of Xu Zifan, why did the minister withdraw the proposal after Xu Zifan said something casually? After making the tea, she stepped aside, expecting Xu Zifan to name the girl he chose. Unexpectedly, Xu Zifan waved his hand, and Dean stepped forward and took her out. Xiangyun was stunned for a moment, anxious to stay and continue listening, but she couldn't show anything, she could only follow De'an out of the door, and could no longer hear the voice inside.
Xu Zifan smiled and said to several ministers: "Don't be nervous, the reason why this king asked this question is because the queen mother mentioned this to this king a few days ago, and she was very worried about the queen's character. You know, the queen is the mother of a country. , Muyi's popularity in the world can better show the national prestige, and can be a good internal helper, so that the emperor has no worries and can handle the affairs of the state with peace of mind. This king believes that a queen must be broad-minded, considerate of the emperor, and have the capacity to tolerate others. Treat other concubines and the emperor's heirs with sincerity, be smart, have scheming and skill, and be able to take care of the affairs of the harem without being calculated by people with ulterior motives. In this way, the emperor will not worry about the trivial matters of the harem. Only after harmony can the country prosper. What do you think?"
Xu Zifan raised the position of the mother of the country to the political level, and several ministers nodded naturally. They didn't dare to nominate easily, and they went around in circles to test Xu Zifan's favorite candidates. No matter if Xu Zifan wanted to help the emperor or fight against the emperor, they had to know the candidates before they could decide how to deal with it
But Xu Zifan didn't say it, and he had a determined look on his face. Several ministers guessed that this must be a power competition between the regent and the emperor, and they did not dare to participate at will, and they all stepped back and watched.
Fu Yuhua received the news from Xiangyun secretly, and hurriedly asked the emperor to discuss it together, for fear that Xu Zifan would be executed first and then file, so he directly announced the candidate in the court. On the same day, the emperor summoned two ministers who had been to the palace. As a result, when he asked about the queen, they shied away and said that a suitable candidate had not yet been selected, and they had to be more careful. The emperor was very upset because of this, and it was not easy to name a woman too clearly, so he could only ask the queen mother to talk to Xu Zifan, but in the next few days, Xu Zifan would always be able to bypass the point and leave after saying a few miscellaneous things. , so that Fu Yuhua couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
In this way, not only Fu Yuhua was upset, but the emperor who was in a hurry to take charge of the government and could not control the overall situation was even more anxious and restless. Even in the face of Xu Zifan's powerlessness, his heart was very depressed.
As the regent, the original owner had some power in the palace. As soon as Xu Zifan crossed over, he asked An Wu to contact them and let them find a way to infiltrate the emperor, the queen mother and the six rounds. They don't need to be more eye-catching and valued, as long as they are asked to do things, they can quietly do it. This is the direction of their efforts.
One of the little eunuchs was clever and clever, and he was rescued by the chief eunuch who made a trick of tricks. This greatly increased his chances of showing his face in front of the emperor. He has been honest and obedient around the chief eunuch, until Xu Zifan estimated that the emperor had been suppressed to a certain extent, found him, and asked him to find a way to arouse the emperor's playfulness.
The emperor is only fifteen years old this year. No matter how old he is, he grew up under the protection of the original owner and the queen mother. In fact, he is not that mature and stable, and he is especially curious about the outside world. The little eunuch let him see some gadgets, and when he was asked, he said a lot of fun things outside, and the emperor was immediately itchy. Since you are so aggrieved in the palace, why not go to the palace and find some interesting things to relax
Soon, the little eunuch was "forced" to sneak the emperor out of the palace!
The first two times, the little eunuch was very nervous, and only took the emperor to the teahouse to listen to books, to watch juggling on the street, and to pick up some fun little things in Liuli Lane. When the emperor sneaked out of the palace for the third time, Xu Zifan arranged for the dark guard to cooperate with the little eunuch, so that the emperor overheard the conversation between the two "alcoholics".
"Brother Feng, don't, don't go to the casino, there is a more fun place, you follow me..."
"Brother Li, where are you talking about first? Is there anything more enjoyable than gambling? I'm lucky, I'm willing to win today..."
"Brother Feng, don't worry, let's go this way, this way, the place I said is called, called Zuixianxianglou, there is a big scene today, everyone with identities in Beijing will go, go, go..."
The emperor became curious and asked the little eunuch, "Where is the drunk incense building?"
