The really difficult time is when there can only be one between her and the queen mother. But regarding this question, Hua Chun had already obtained the answer from the emperor. As he said, to save the queen mother by falling into the water, that is to say, if the queen mother risked her life to fight her, she had no choice but to surrender.
It's a terrible feeling.
The emperor was silent for a while, as if he was thinking. After a while, he looked up at Hua Chun and said, "I understand."
Hua Chun smiled, took a deep breath and let it out, then saluted and left.
Yu Wenjie looked at her back with complicated eyes, until she disappeared behind the rockery, and then turned around: "Eunuch Qin, go back to the Queen Mother's words."
"Yes." Eunuch Qin nodded and left with small steps.
On the palace road.
"Are you unhappy?" Qing Ling asked in a low voice.
Hua Chun took her hand and walked, curled her lips upon hearing this. If I can be happy, I've seen a ghost. I thought I was experiencing an epic royal love, but I didn't expect that the royal family also had terrible problems with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She felt sorry for the emperor and wanted to make him feel better. But the current situation is that he is having a better time, and the Queen Mother is having a better time, so she has to be wronged by herself.
How do you live this day! How long will it take to be wronged before I can avenge Wan Shi
Distraught, Hua Chun collapsed on the bed when she returned home, and fell asleep, avoiding all problems.
When the queen mother received the emperor's reply, she was even unhappy: "Who said what to the emperor?"
Yue Jian shook his head: "The emperor has been changing the book, and he has never seen anyone."
"Then why did you say such ignorant words?" The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Xi'er is also his own younger brother. Is it possible to rebel even if he brings troops into Beijing? As for being so wary? This refusal hurts me." How can brotherhood be good?"
Seeing the silence of the moon, the queen mother is very rational and capable when dealing with other things, but she always loses her composure when dealing with Prince Xi's affairs.
In fact, what Prince Xi said to the Empress Dowager is so beautiful, who is so safe, can also help the emperor defend against other vassal princes who have dissenting intentions, and everyone who is most dissatisfied knows that it is Prince Xi! It is reasonable for the emperor to disagree. The empress dowager is actually very irrational to be in the middle of the mud, and Prince Xi should be asked to ask the emperor himself. It's just that the heart of protecting the calf can't be stopped once it comes up.
It is also a pain for the emperor.
"The empress dowager." Xu Guipin came in, seeing her angry face, she quickly slowed down: "My concubine pays her respects to the empress dowager."
"Excuse me." The queen mother waved her hand: "Aijia is in a bad mood today, and you don't want to drink medicine. You can go back directly."
Xu Guipin was taken aback, and quickly asked: "What's the matter? The Empress Dowager has just recovered, how can she do it without taking medicine? The emperor will also be worried."
"It would be great if he was really worried!" The queen mother was slightly angry: "Perhaps Aijia is so angry, he can still live happily ever after with Concubine De!"
Slightly raising his eyebrows, Xu Guipin sat down beside the Empress Dowager's bed, hammered her legs for a while, and asked what happened in a soft voice. Yuejian said a few key points, and Xu Guibin said: "The Empress Dowager should let Tang Guibin try this matter."
"Tang Shi?" The queen mother frowned: "What should she try?"
"Tang Guibin has just been promoted, and she is in the limelight. She has always been favored by the emperor, and her words can be heard by the emperor. Let her persuade the emperor. The emperor may change his mind." Xu Guibin said: "Even if you can't, Queen Mother, you have nothing to lose, and the Tang family belongs to Concubine De."
The queen mother paused, thought carefully, and cast a deep look at Xu Guipin: "You have come up with good ideas recently."
Xu Guipin's body froze slightly, she couldn't understand whether the queen mother's words were praise or derogation, so she could only smile apologetically.
Tang Guning was embroidering in his own palace, and suddenly received the Queen Mother's order, asking her to persuade the emperor.
"What does this mean?" She couldn't figure it out: "How did it fall on Bengong's head?"
The maid next to her shook her head and said, "It must be that Concubine Xu Gui wants to make things difficult for you. You are actually required to get involved in the matter between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor."
But this has to go, isn't it the purpose of resisting the Queen Mother? If you go... it's useless.
Tang Shi gritted her teeth, and scolded Xu Guipin all over her heart, but still had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to Zichen Hall to pay her respects.
The emperor was in a bad mood, and the whole Zichen Hall was gloomy. Tang stood up after paying his respects, and opened his mouth but didn't dare to say anything.
Although she has been in the palace for so long, and has served in the bedroom several times, but for some reason, she always feels that there are several mountains between her and the emperor, and she has no sense of intimacy at all.
"Is there something wrong?" Yu Wenjie didn't raise his head.
"Well... the queen mother has an order to ask my concubine to come and ask you about Prince Xi's entry to Beijing." Tang's face was troubled, and there was something like "I was forced, and I didn't want to come" in his eyes. look.
However, the emperor didn't look at her at all, and when he heard this, he said: "Well, I understand, you can go back."
"...Yes." Touched by a nail that was neither soft nor hard, Tang was very helpless, so he turned around and returned to the Queen Mother.
As a result, at the same time as she went to Huiming Hall, Xu Guifei arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and said to Hua Chun with joy, "My concubine thinks that Tang Guifei should deduct five points."
Hua Chun was eating snacks, she almost bit her tongue when she laughed at her words, forced herself to look up at her calmly, and asked curiously: "What did she do wrong?"
"Insufficient loyalty to the emperor." Xu Guipin said: "Knowing that the emperor doesn't want Prince Xi to bring troops into Beijing, but he went to intercede with the emperor in order to please the queen mother. Such a person does not put the emperor first at all!"
Seemingly reasonable, Hua Chun nodded: "I know, then five points will be deducted."
Xu Guipin was secretly delighted, watching Qing Niao go to take away a piece of wood from the device next to him, the corners of his mouth raised.
A scoring device made by Concubine De is placed on the shelf next to the main hall. It is composed of simple long iron nails and wooden blocks with small holes. Each wooden block is worth five points. There are three iron nails under each person's name. There are four pieces of wood on each nail, so that it is clear at a glance who has deducted points and came to ask for safety.
Xu Guipin felt that Concubine De had a very clever mind, and never thought that this thing was also a booster for flirting.
As a result, when Tang Shi came to greet Hua Chun the next day, he saw that his wooden blocks were missing.
"Why?" She was naturally displeased, and when she asked about Hua Chun's situation, she immediately rolled her eyes angrily: "If she hadn't encouraged the Queen Mother to order the concubine to go, how could the concubine take the initiative to go to the emperor's place to find pleasure?"
With an innocent face, Hua Chun looked at her while biting a cookie and said, "I can't decide this one. Only if you show evidence can I subtract a piece of wood from her 'character'."
It was she who underestimated Xu Guibin! Tang gritted his teeth and got up angrily to leave.
That night, a fake eunuch was caught in Xu Guipin's palace.
"This is not someone from my palace." Xu Guipin frowned, "It's clear that someone wants to frame her!"
The emperor listened to her cry for a long time with a numb expression, and then asked someone to check the roster in the palace to confirm that the eunuch was indeed not from Xu Guifei's palace, so he gave up with a few words of comfort.
"The battle is really fierce." Hua Chun reached out to take a piece of wood from Xu Guipin, and shook his head while shouting: "Come on, come on!"
Qing Ling laughed: "Master, you just sit and watch the show without back pain."
"Facts have proved that sitting and watching a movie can also cause back pain." Hua Chun rubbed his waist: "This stomach is getting heavier and heavier, and I really feel uncomfortable no matter how I sit."
"Do you want someone to make a rocking chair?"
"Come on, I'm too lazy." Hua Chun said, "Prince Xi is going to the capital soon. Besides dealing with the moths in the palace, I have to spend energy dealing with him."
The emperor may not be reliable, and his heart softened at some point, so Hua Chun planned to discuss it with He Chang'an again.
But He Chang'an seemed to be busy these few days, so he was free to enter the palace tonight. Hua Chun asked Rui'er to report to the emperor, and then asked someone to discuss matters in the greenhouse next to the imperial garden.
It's been a long time again, He Chang'an still has the same demeanor, but the sense of vicissitudes in his eyebrows has become a lot stronger.
"Second brother... did you experience something?" Hua Chun raised his eyebrows: "I feel a little changed."
He Changan smiled: "Your Majesty is really sharp-eyed. Recently, I often hang around the place of fireworks. There really are many stories happened."
However, all stories end at dawn.
Hua Chun was speechless, but he didn't pry into other people's privacy, but asked straight to the point: "Where did Prince Xi go?"
"We will arrive in the suburbs of Beijing in one day." He Chang'an's expression became serious: "He brought 50,000 troops, while the rest of the feudal lords only brought 5,000 troops at most."
The contrast between 50,000 and 5,000 is too obvious. If he didn't lead the army to rebel, could it be that he came to see the snow scene in Yanjing
Hua Chun pursed her lips: "The emperor does not allow his troops to enter Yanjing, but the queen mother has to do some things, and there may be hidden dangers."
"This humble minister has thought about it." He Changan lowered his eyes, reflecting the moonlight outside the window, looking very gentle: "The city near the outskirts of Beijing, the humble minister has already made arrangements, and someone will specially receive people under Lord Xi's command. Soldiers, once there is any movement, they will immediately send pigeons to report."
Tilting his head, Hua Chun asked, "Is there an important military town near the outskirts of Beijing, located in a mountain depression, near a big river?"
"Your Majesty even knows this?" He Changan chuckled, "There is a place called the Ice Cave, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack."
"Then it's better to leave it to Lord Xi and the others." Hua Chun said, "It can accommodate 40,000 to 50,000 troops."
He Changan was taken aback, and frowned slightly: "What are you going to do with such a good place?"
"The emperor's troops can be placed anywhere, but Prince Xi's soldiers have to choose this kind of place." Hua Chun said: "He will only agree to it if it is a good place. If he agrees, Yanjing's security index can be increased by at least half." .”
He Changan was stunned for a while before he realized it.
The ice cave has a characteristic, that is, the exit is very narrow.
