Concubine Wang Xian returned to the palace, thought about it for a while, and felt more and more that what Lu Shijin said just now was reasonable.
That's right, that concubine Shen Gui just despised her so much just because she had the support of the Prince Regent.
But her father went through life and death to fight for the imperial court, and there are no generals outside to secure the country. How can these civil servants who move power in the capital be so safe and at ease
The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned after ten years. Her father has kept the northern border peaceful for more than ten years.
Concubine Wang Xian thought, fortunately, his father will return to court from northern Xinjiang next month, and the emperor will definitely reward their royal family greatly.
With her father coming back to support her, Shen Guibi, this little bitch, don't try to climb on top of her!
Anyone with a discerning eye can see the current situation in the court. The regent controls the government, and the emperor has no real power in his hands.
But if the emperor falls, she will not be able to be a virtuous concubine, let alone a successor.
So Concubine Wang Xian has already made up her mind to persuade General Fuyuan to stand on the emperor's side. If their royal family can help the emperor bring down the regent, the royal family will be the emperor's first reliance in the future!
At that time, the queen's throne must belong to her, and the child she gave birth to will be the prince, the future emperor, and their royal family will become the most prosperous family in the capital besides the royal family!

Li Chong was chanting scriptures devoutly in the Kanghua Hall, unaware that just outside the hall, Lu Shijin's few words caused Wang Xianfei to start thinking about the Queen's dream.
He read the scriptures these days and learned a lot of philosophy of life from the Buddhist scriptures, and his mood suddenly became enlightened, which also made him want to understand some things.
Li Chong had some doubts whether his cheap younger brother King Ning was really stupid or fake.
You say he is not stupid, but his words and deeds are obviously naive, no different from a yellow-haired child.
Call him stupid, but sometimes he is smarter than a monkey. I saw him take advantage of others, but have you ever seen him suffer
According to the original plot, Lu Shijin had a high fever and burned his brain when he was a child, so his IQ will always stay in the state of an eight-year-old child.
Li Chong couldn't help thinking, is it because the medical level in ancient times was low and the diagnosis was wrong, could it be possible to judge that Lu Shijin's IQ is only eight years old by taking a pulse? This is not scientific at all!
And judging by Lu Shijin's shrewdness, how does he look like an eight-year-old child? Li Chong felt that at least... he had to be thirteen years old!
Li Chong was unwilling to admit that he was distracted by a fool, and couldn't help it.
So he decided to find an opportunity to test Lu Shijin, to see if the cheap brother is really stupid or just pretending.
If the result of the test is that he is really stupid, then he can only admit his failure, he has nothing to say, just be a beast.
But if it's pretending... Li Chong curled the corner of his mouth, that would be interesting.
Seven days later, the blessing ended, and Li Chong didn't have to go to Kanghua Hall every day.
After returning to Yong'an Palace, the imperial physician came to ask for Ping'an pulse as usual, but when Lu Shijin learned that Li Chong had returned to the palace, he immediately came to look for his emperor brother.
"Your majesty's pulse is stable and there is nothing serious." The imperial physician said after diagnosing the pulse, "It's just a hard work of praying. Although the emperor is young and strong, he should pay attention to rest these few days. I will prescribe some medicines for the emperor to strengthen his health." , after taking it, it will also reduce the feeling of fatigue."
"Okay, I can trust Feng Yuanpan's medical skills, so I will do as you say." Li Chong glanced at Lu Shijin who was sitting next to him drinking tea, and suddenly said, "By the way, it happens that King Ningjun is also here, and Feng Yuanpan will also give it to you. Let him take care of his pulse."
Lu Shijin was taken aback for a moment, why is this still his business
"I obey the order." Court judge Feng walked to Lu Shijin's seat, looked at him with a smile and said, "My lord, please stretch out your hand, and the old minister will take your pulse."
"Oh." Lu Shijin didn't know why Li Chong made such a sudden proposal, but thought it was just a pulse, so he stretched out his hand obediently.
Feng Yuanpan pressed two fingers on Lu Shijin's pulse gate, narrowed his eyes for a while, withdrew his hand, and said with a smile, "Does the prince often feel full in his stomach and acid regurgitation recently?"
Lu Shijin nodded: "Yes, yes."
Feng Yuan judged: "I'm afraid it's because I usually eat too much sweets, I have to control it in the future, other things are fine."
Li Chong lowered his face, and said seriously to Lu Shijin: "Did you hear that? The imperial doctor asked you to eat less sweet food in the future, and you will only be allowed to eat a bunch of candied haws every day."
Lu Shijin had a bitter face, "Why is this so? I wouldn't have asked the imperial doctor to take the pulse if I knew it earlier. Illness, if you can't find it out, you can treat it as if it doesn't exist."
"What nonsense, do you think it is Schrödinger's cat?" After Li Chong finished speaking, he kept his eyes on Lu Shijin's face, observing his expression.
Of course Lu Shijin wasn't fooled, he pretended to be stupid: "Whose cat? Who has a cat? Come and play with me!"
After Li Chong finished probing, he secretly smiled at himself, how could Lu Shijin know who Schrödinger was.
Imperial Physician: "If the Emperor has nothing else to do, I will retire."
"Wait a minute, I have something to ask Court Judge Feng." Li Chong first waved his hand at Lu Shijin, "Today, you go out first, I have something important to discuss with the imperial physician."
Lu Shijin curled his lips and reluctantly went out.
What, why is the Dog Emperor chattering about today, he suddenly had someone take his pulse, and then kicked him out, and he didn't know what to discuss with the imperial physician.
However, this kind of communication with doctors in private and not wanting to be known generally exists in two situations.
One is an incurable disease, and the other is an unspeakable hidden disease.
Incurable disease should be impossible, so there is only one possibility left.
No way, the corners of Lu Shijin's eyes twitched. Is there something wrong with the Dog Emperor?
In Yong'an Palace, the emperor ordered all the left and right to retreat, called the imperial physician to the side hall, and asked mysteriously: "Judge Feng, I ask you, can King Ning's illness be cured?"
"Your majesty, you mean the lord..." The imperial doctor pointed to his head, "Is it a disease here?"
The emperor nodded.
The imperial doctor frowned and shook his head, "Children have febrile convulsions, and brain damage is an irreversible injury. My medical skills are poor, and I can't do anything about this disease. Moreover, as far as I know, there is no case in the world where this disease can be cured, so …”
Li Chong also asked casually. He didn't expect ancient Chinese medicine to cure diseases that could not be cured by modern medical techniques.
"Then, King Ning's brain," Li Chong asked in a low voice, "are you sure it's still bad?"
The imperial physician blinked twice, not understanding why the emperor would ask such a question.
"This... yes. I just checked the pulse of the prince, but the prince still has a blocked heart meridian, and his mental development is extremely slow."
Li Chong was relieved, smiled slightly, and inadvertently expressed his thoughts: "That's good."
Hearing this, the imperial physician raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He said that the emperor and Ningjun brothers had a good relationship. Hearing what the emperor said, he seemed to wish that Ningjun Wang was a fool. It's really unpredictable.
After receiving the affirmative answer from the imperial physician that Lu Shijin's illness was not cured, Li Chong temporarily dispelled his doubts.
Thinking about it, even if Lu Shijin is mentally sound, why would he pretend to be a fool? It seems that he really suspected wrong.
The dog emperor and the imperial physician didn't know what they were talking about in the palace, but Lu Shijin couldn't hear it. He was bored waiting outside alone, so he went to the imperial garden to hang out.
As a result, when he arrived at the imperial garden, he saw Shen Guipin ordering the maid to pick flowers there.
Concubine Shen Gui is not easy to mess with, Lu Shijin turned around and wanted to leave, but Concubine Wang Xian's sedan chair came from behind again.
Wow, there are wolves in the front and tigers in the back, and I am a pure white rabbit caught in the middle, what a dilemma.
They were all greeted head-on, and they couldn't pretend not to see it. Lu Shijin politely greeted Concubine Wang Xian: "Concubine Xian, sister-in-law, hello."
Concubine Wang Xian has thought about a lot of things since she got Lu Shijin's advice, so she has a good impression of Lu Shijin.
Concubine Wang Xian got off the sedan chair, and Pingting blessed her body gracefully, "Ning Jun Wang An."
"Is the virtuous concubine and sister-in-law here to enjoy the flowers? Concubine Shen Gui is also inside. The king originally wanted to come to enjoy the flowers, but concubine Shen's maid picked all the flowers away, and the king is planning to leave." Lu Shijin pointed Pointing to the back, he fanned the flames quietly.
When Concubine Wang Xian heard this, Liu Mei frowned, "Why, is she only going to visit the Royal Garden for her alone? She wants to pick all the flowers, so she can be so charming all by herself? It's really unreasonable!"
Concubine Wang Xian raised her chin and walked into the imperial garden like a proud peacock. Concubine Shen Gui had already seen Concubine Wang Xian approaching from a distance, and deliberately turned her back to her as if she didn't see it, just to save saluting.
Concubine Wang Xian covered her lips with a handkerchief and coughed, the maid next to her understood, and immediately said loudly: "Concubine Xian is here! Why don't you come over and salute!"
Only then did Concubine Shen turn around slowly, and greet Concubine Wang Xian perfunctorily, "So it's Sister Xianfei, just now there was an old raven making noise on the tree, I didn't even hear the footsteps of Concubine Xian." Before Wang Xianfei asked her to get up, Concubine Shen Gui had already got up by herself, and ordered the other court ladies who were kneeling to get up, "Stop kneeling, and continue picking flowers for me."
Concubine Wang Xian smiled coldly, "In winter, there are not many flowers in the imperial garden. Is my sister planning to pick all the flowers so that the empress dowager and the emperor can enjoy the bare branches when they come over?"
Shen Guipin chuckled: "The imperial garden is so big, I just pick a few flowers for bathing, don't use the queen mother and the emperor to pressure me, even if you sue the emperor, do you think the emperor will give me money because of a few flowers?" Are the flowers and plants blaming Bengong?"
"It's impossible for the emperor to bother with you because of such a trivial matter, but your maid has already picked so many flowers, so it's time to stop. Didn't you notice that King Ning came to enjoy the flowers in high spirits, and returned because you were disappointed? Concubine Wang Xian raised her hand wearing gorgeous armor and pinched a branch of camellia, lowered her head and sniffed it, and said casually, "He is the most beloved person around the emperor. If you offend him, do you think the emperor will be angry with you?" disgust?"
Lu Shijin, who was watching the show, did not expect that the fire would burn himself again. Concubine Wang Xian wanted to drag him into the water together. He was not so stupid to get involved in the war between these two women.
Lu Shijin had an idea, and quickly ordered 711: "Convenience store, convenience store, quick, change me into a peony flower."
711 didn't know what Lu Shijin wanted to do, so he did it without asking.
In an inconspicuous corner of the imperial garden, all the peony branches were bare, but a big red peony bloomed quietly.
"Oh!" Lu Shijin yelled, pointing in the direction of the peony flower, pretending to be extremely surprised, "What a beautiful peony flower! It's already winter, why are there still peonies?"
Concubine Wang Xian and Concubine Shen Guishen looked in the direction Lu Shijin was pointing at, and when they saw the red peony that Ling Han let loose alone, their eyes showed shock, and then they both wanted to keep it for themselves. the color of greed.
However, Lu Shijin took off the red peony one step ahead of them, and he looked down at the red peony in his hand in amazement: "It's so strange, only this one bloomed, is it some kind of vision?"
Concubine Wang Xian's court lady was clever and said first: "The peonies in the imperial garden must have known about the nobleman's arrival, so they bloomed to welcome you. Concubine Xian is the highest rank among concubines, and the peonies must have been bloomed for Concubine Xian!"
Shen Guifei sneered a few times: "What nonsense are you, lowly servant girl? The peony is the queen of flowers, and if it wants to welcome the queen, it is possible that your concubine Xianfei has already become the queen?"
Shen Guifei's maid chimed in: "It was my concubine's concubine who came to the imperial garden first, and it was my concubine who greeted Peony first."
"That's right." Concubine Shen Gui walked up to Lu Shijin gracefully, and smiled kindly at Lu Shijin, "My lord, can you please give this peony to me? I really like it very much."
"Fragrant flowers should be given to beauties, but," Lu Shijin glanced at the concubine next to him, pretending to be embarrassed, "the king of flowers only has one flower, and if you give it to your concubine's sister-in-law, you will be neglecting the concubine's sister-in-law. I don't want to be a bad person either, why don't you discuss it, who is this flower for?"
"My lord is fair." Concubine Wang Xian came over with a smile, "My lord, the father of the Japanese Palace recently sent several good horses from northern Xinjiang to Beijing. Just pick which one."
"What's so rare about a few beasts?" Shen Guibi rolled her eyes in disdain, and smiled at Shang Lu Shijin again, "My lord, I heard you like reading story books, don't you? If you give flowers to Bengong, Bengong There are several solitary copies left by the previous dynasty, all of which are treasures, how about giving them to you?"
"Wait, let me think about it first," Lu Shijin thought for a while with frowning brows, then raised his head and said aggrievedly, "It's too difficult to choose. I want a good horse and a script, but there is only one flower. Duo, what should I do?"
Concubine Shen Gui winked at the maid, and the maid received the instruction, and walked towards Lu Shijin with a smile on her face, "My lord, our concubine's palace has prepared a lot of snacks, why don't you go to our palace as a guest first, and eat while you're at it?" After dim sum, I am thinking about who should I give this flower to?"
Concubine Wang Xian gritted her teeth in anger when she saw it, the little bitch's move was really insidious, she was planning to rob someone outright, wasn't she? !
Of course, she couldn't allow Shen Guipin to snatch Lu Shijin away, so she quickly signaled her maid to do it.
Concubine Wang Xian's maid trotted over and pushed Concubine Shen's maid aside on purpose, "My lord, there are many rare items in our palace that can only be found in northern Xinjiang, which are not found in the capital. It's fun. You must like it. You'd better go to our palace." Be a guest in the palace!"
"My lord, go to our palace to have some snacks, who wants to play with the things that barbarians in your palace play!"
"Who doesn't have dim sum in the palace, and your palace is the only one who treats it as a treasure! It's like someone who has never eaten dim sum, with low vision and no knowledge!"
"Who do you say didn't know?!"
"I'll say whoever answers me. I want to invite the prince over with a few snacks. Who do you think the prince is? It doesn't feel shameful to say it."
"Little bitch, see if I don't tear your mouth apart!"
The two court ladies were arguing and started fighting regardless of their appearance. The other court ladies saw that their sisters were at a disadvantage, so they rushed to help, and the two parties had a quarrel.
Concubine Wang Xian and Concubine Shen Guipin had already held their breath in their hearts, they only wished they could not do it themselves because of their identities, otherwise they would have already slapped each other's faces.
"What are you doing?! Your majesty is here, hurry up and kneel down to greet him!" A shrill eunuch's voice sounded from behind everyone, and they hurriedly turned their heads to see the long, bright yellow figure, their legs trembling in shock. Ruan, except for the three masters, everyone else knelt down one by one.
"Greetings to the emperor, the emperor is auspicious!"
Li Chong looked at the disheveled and disheveled maids from the fight, and sneered, "Auspicious? How can I be auspicious? The imperial garden is a quiet place. What do you guys look like making noise here? Concubine Xian , I and the Queen Mother entrusted you to manage the harem, is this how you manage it for me?"
Concubine Wang Xian lowered her head: "The concubine is incapable of disciplining my servants, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
When Shen Guifei heard the emperor blamed Concubine Wang Xian, she gloated and raised her head, looked at the emperor tenderly and said: "Your Majesty, don't blame Concubine Xian, after all, it is the queen's responsibility to manage the six palaces. Elder Concubine Xian doesn't have this ability, so it's understandable if she doesn't manage well."
Li Chong looked at Shen Guibi expressionlessly, and said coldly: "You mean, I have a bad sense of seeing people, and I mistakenly handed over the power of assistant manager of the Sixth Palace to Concubine Xian, right?"
Shen Guipin shook her head again and again: "I didn't mean that, my concubine made a slip of the tongue!"
"Hmph," Li Chong snorted coldly, "Tell me, why are you a virtuous concubine and a noble concubine, and let the palace maids fight around in the imperial garden?"
"Brother Emperor, they fought for the sake of my younger brother!" Lu Shijin raised his hand and reported triumphantly.
Li Chong squinted at him, "For you?"
Lu Shijin smiled brightly, and patted his chest proudly, "Yes, yes, they quarreled because they all wanted to invite their younger brothers to their palace as guests. The virtuous concubine and sister-in-law said they would send their younger brother Liangju, and the noble concubine and sister-in-law said they would send their minister Where is the brother's book!"
Concubine Wang Xian and Concubine Shen Gui were so angry that they almost vomited blood, you idiot! It's really a pot that doesn't mention which pot to open!
"Really? I'm really curious, why are you rushing to invite Prince Ning to visit your palace? Who will tell me?" Li Chong's eyes were cold and gloomy, sweeping over the faces of Wang Shi and Shen Shi.
Lu Shijin held up the peony in his hand and showed it to Li Chong, "They want the peony in my brother's hand, but my brother only has this one flower, and I really don't know who to give it to, so they quarreled. It just so happens that you are here, Brother Emperor, here, here are the flowers for you, you decide who you want to give the flowers to."
The hot potato was thrown out, and Lu Shijin stepped aside, waiting to see what Li Chong would choose.
Li Chong took the beautifully blooming peony flower, pinched the slender flower stem with his slender fingers and turned it around, while Concubine Wang Xian and Concubine Shen Gui were all fixed on the peony flower, hoping that they were the one The owner of the flower.
At this moment, this peony is not just a flower, and whoever can get it means that the two of them are more important in the emperor's heart.
"In my opinion, this flower, I still give it to you..." Li Chong drew a circle in the air with the flower, and the heads of the two concubines followed his gesture, but who would have thought that Li Chong made a circle , actually put the peony hairpin on Lu Shijin's head.
Lu Shijin froze for a moment, raised his hand to touch the peony pinned to his bun, "Brother Emperor, what are you doing, why are you putting flowers on my head?"
Li Chong put on a serious face, "How many ministers want to get the flowers I bestowed, but still can't get them. Today, I put the hairpin on for you with my own hands. Are you still not satisfied?"
A eunuch explained: "Prince Ningjun, it is a great honor for the emperor to give you flowers, why don't you hurry up and thank you."
"Oh," Lu Shijin bowed and bowed, "I thank the emperor for giving you flowers."
Neither Concubine Wang Xian nor Shen Guibin thought that the flower would fall on Lu Shijin's head in the end.
But when you think about it, it makes sense. It is not suitable for the Emperor Hua to give to any of the two of them. Only King Ning can be impartial.
Forget it, they can't fight with a fool, anyway, as long as it's not for that little bitch.
Li Chong raised his eyebrows, and said to the two concubines impatiently: "You two have no way to restrain the servants, let the servants play around in the imperial garden, go back to your respective palaces, and confine yourself for a month to think about your own past. Half a year's salary!"
The two concubines knew that they had made a big mistake, and they didn't dare to argue, so they hurriedly left the imperial garden with their servants in despair.
Lu Shijin, the chief culprit who provoked trouble, touched his nose, oh, see, sometimes it's so easy to be a winner in life.
Seeing that Li Chong's face was not very good, Lu Shijin reckoned that he was upset by the quarrel between the two concubines, and it was not appropriate to hang around in front of him at this time, so he said wisely: "Brother Emperor, my younger brother is going to pay his respects to the empress. Take your leave first."
"Go." Li Chong nodded lightly and agreed.
Lu Shijin left, but Li Chong stayed where he was, staring intently at Lu Shijin's back, thoughtful.
In fact, he had already arrived at the Royal Garden, deliberately did not let the servants say anything, and saw clearly how Lu Shijin provoked the quarrel between Concubine Wang Xian and Concubine Shen Gui with just a few words.
The two concubines thought that Lu Shijin was a fool, and they didn't think that Lu Shijin was deliberately fanning the flames to provoke them to confront each other.
But Li Chong, who is an outsider, sees things clearly.
Although what Lu Shijin said did not sound inappropriate, in line with the childish language of a child, but every sentence was the fuse that caused the two concubines to quarrel.
If he hadn't hit it by mistake, then he was too scheming and played with everyone in the palm of his hand.
Li Chong watched Lu Shijin's back disappear from sight, and narrowed his eyes with deep meaning. What is the truth
Li Chong suddenly asked Eunuch Jiang beside him: "How is the golden birdcage I asked you to find a craftsman to make?"
Eunuch Jiang: "It will be finished soon. The construction will be completed before King Ningjun's birthday. The bird that the emperor asked the servant to find is also found. The servant can not only learn how to speak, but also read poems. It is guaranteed to be the smartest bird in the world. Prince Ning will definitely like the birds."
Li Chong: "I don't want the previous one. Let the craftsman make another cage, which should be bigger."
Eunuch Jiang asked hesitantly: "I don't know what size the emperor wants?"
Li Chong hooked his lower lip: "It must be able to pretend to be another person."
Eunuch Jiang: "... such a big cage? What about the birds?"
"No need." Li Chong turned his wrist slowly and smiled, "I have found the smartest bird in the world."
The author has something to say:
Question: How many steps does it take to put a Jinjin into a birdcage
