32, frank and open

Emperor Shizong returned to the Ganqing Hall, walked to the imperial table, picked up a document and read it.

Jiang Yingyue stood behind him with a low eyebrows, her body tense, her heart was howling, and she was extremely uneasy. She didn't have to look up and knew that the document Wanyan Bupo was looking at was the imperial edict that promoted her to a first-rank female official.

This imperial edict should have been promulgated tomorrow. She will become the only female official in the palace, only one step away from her goal of becoming an imperial concubine. Seeing that she was rich and powerful, and her power and status were within reach, she also had the ability to pave the way for the imperial brother to reach the top. However, now everything is ruined.

Jiang Yingyue bit her lip and couldn't figure out what Ouyang Huiru was thinking today. She said something that was deliberately targeting her or an unintentional act? She and Ouyang Huiru had never had a lifetime, and had no grudges. Ouyang Huiru had no need to target a little palace maid who had nothing to do with her. Moreover, her fabricated life experience can even be hidden from Wanyan Bupo, and there is no reason Ouyang Huiru will know. Thoughts have no result, Jiang Yingyue can only attribute today's defeat to bad luck and carelessness.

It was her negligence that she had received cruel and cold-blooded education since she was a child. Seeing Ouyang Huiru's embarrassing appearance, she felt relieved. She didn't expect that this was a normal reaction that ordinary women should have. She still needs to be tempered by thinking about people's hearts.

When Jiang Yingyue was in a state of confusion and frustration, Shizong had already closed the document, walked to the stove lit up in the corner of the hall, and threw the document into the orange flame. The flame happily licked the snow-white paper, and arrogantly turned the paper into a pile of ugly ashes.

Emperor Shizong looked at Jiang Yingyue with an unpredictable expression and said lightly, "Miss Jiang, during the assassination, I told you to protect the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess was injured. It was your dereliction of duty. The dereliction of duty was against your achievements in saving the Lord. I will not pursue it. Thank you."

Whether or not to be promoted to a person is not required to explain whether Shizong's words are spoken by the emperor, but he did not strictly seal the will and had already spread in the palace. Everyone regarded Jiang Yingyue as the most powerful celebrity around him. He suddenly changed his mind and always had an explanation.

He was not worried that his actions would stimulate Jiang Yingyue. It would be better if it was stimulated. The prey in panic was the easiest to fall into the trap. He looked at whether Jiang Yingyue was a human or a ghost.

Jiang Yingyue's face was pale and her feet were soft and she walked to Shizong and knelt down. She kowtowed three times and said in fear, "I am dereliction of duty, I thank the emperor for forgiveness."

"Get up." Shizong glanced at her indifferently and said coldly. His appreciation for her a few days ago had long disappeared.

Jiang Yingyue stood up and walked back to the distance tremblingly, describing her embarrassment, and how could she look so proud that she had been in a few days ago.

The palace people in the palace who were in charge of the position were not aware of the inside story, and were very surprised by the emperor's sudden change of resolution. After surprise, they once again refreshed the favor of the Crown Princess. Even the role of saving the lord can be offset by the ineffective protection of the Crown Princess. How much does the emperor like the Crown Princess?

Emperor Shizong didn't know what the palace people thought, so after solving Jiang Yingyue's affairs, he went back to the table to start working. Because he was worried about the little girl, he had accumulated a lot of government affairs and had not dealt with.

Holding the memorial in one hand and the imperial pen in the other, Shizong was preparing to comment, and a message of "Madam E Qi" asking for a meeting came from outside the hall.

Madam E Qi was the most capable confidant of the Queen Mother. When she came to ask for a meeting, it must be that the Queen Mother had something to do. Emperor Shizong put down his imperial pen and said in a deep voice, "Xuan."

"I have seen the emperor, and the emperor is in peace." E Qi saluted respectfully.

"I'm asking for it, but the Queen Mother has something to do?" Shizong called her and asked directly.

"When I go back to the emperor, the empress dowager wants to discuss with the emperor if you have something to do, so I ask my servants to come and invite you to invite me." E Qi replied respectfully.

Emperor Shizong pondered, put down his government affairs, and simply walked out of the hall, saying as he walked: "Set the Cining Palace."

The palace people in the whole palace responded in unison. Seeing this, E Qi quickly followed. The group quickly arrived in front of Cining Palace. Emperor Shizong strode into the inner hall with a very serious expression.

What the Empress Dowager asked him for was basically clear. He was very respectful to the Empress Dowager. He did not want to hide such a big thing, nor did he bother to hide it. No one could stop what he wanted.

When the empress dowager saw the emperor walking in with a deep face, she looked like she was waiting for her, and suddenly felt a little funny.

"Your Majesty, please sit down." The empress dowager reached out to invite her, with a smile on her face and two points of helplessness.

"My son has met his mother, but I don't know what the mother asked for her son?" Shizong sat down next to her and asked straight to the point.

"For the matter of the Crown Princess." The Queen Mother was not vague and spoke very happily, "What are your plans for the Crown Princess?"

Emperor Shizong was stunned by the empress dowager's directness and looked into the empress dowager's eyes. His voice was steady and his attitude was firm. "Of course he was close to me and protected him."

The Queen Mother was naturally amused by what he said. The son's temper has not changed at all. He has tried his best to grab the things he likes since childhood.

"What should I do if the prince?"

"I will deal with the prince, so I don't have to worry about my mother." Shizong said distractedly. After he finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea in a very leisurely manner.

"The prince is the crown prince. You are slapping him in the face, asking him how to inherit the throne in the future? Besides, don't forget that the little girl and Prime Minister Ouyang are both Han people. Han people attach importance to the ethics of the rules and regulations and may not accept your arrangements. The prime minister protects his shortcomings and is angry with him. He will not give you the little girl even if he fights to the death. The little girl is also a charcoal-like character. Are you sure she will pass by you? Don't make trouble until the end is not worth the loss!"

The Empress Dowager took a deep breath and showed all the disadvantages one by one. Compared with the century-old foundation of Dajin, the century-old foundation of the two is naturally more important. The Empress Dowager not only did not have the heart to stop him, but also thanked the little girl for appearing at the right time. She could not stop her, but could not let her son do whatever she wanted to do, and the scene was out of control. She, the mother, knew her son's domineering behavior best.

Emperor Shizong smiled indifferently and spoke in a deep tone, "I know my mother's worries, I will not do anything randomly. The prince may not be able to inherit the throne, so the mother's queen is too worried."

In the past, it was "not necessarily possible", but now it is "not necessarily impossible". Sejong secretly added that he would not let a son who was resentful to him inherit his position, and this son was foolish and incompetent, and he was not the candidate for the crown prince he wanted.

The Queen Mother looked at Shizong in shock and quickly considered the meaning of his words.

Isn’t the prince actually the heir he likes? That prince is a target? It causes all brothers to fight openly and secretly, and the only one who can do it in the end is? Her son is so crazy! Even parent-child can plot like this! It seems that killing and blood have been carved into his bones and blood. In this way, it is a good thing to have a little girl by his side. At least, he is like a flesh-and-blood person facing the little girl.

The Empress Dowager sighed in her heart, and her eyes looked at Shizong a little dazed.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager's expression changed drastically, Shizong knew that his smart and capable mother must have guessed his intention to enthrone the crown prince. He couldn't help but laugh and continued to speak, "I won't force the little girl. I naturally have to be willing to do it. I have to wait patiently. If the little girl is willing, the prime minister will naturally not be a problem. The mother does not have to dissuade her son. The son has decided, and no one can stop him."

The empress dowager was relieved when she heard this and said to her, "Bulao" and she had deep affection for the little girl, and she could actually wait patiently. You know, whoever he liked, no matter whether the person was willing or not, she would usually snatch it. Isn't the Rou Concubine in the harem just snatched it from him?

This is so good. What she is most worried about is that the scene is out of control and difficult to deal with. It is better for her son to behave properly.

The Empress Dowager sighed and spoke slowly, "The Ai family knows that it can't stop you. The Ai family calls you here today, just to remind you not to act impulsively."

Emperor Shizong was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect the empress dowager to compromise so quickly, so he made him silently respond. After a while, he spoke softly, "Son, thank you for your mother's compassion. Your son is also unable to do anything. When his son finds out, he can't let go of the little girl."

When the empress dowager heard this, she closed her eyes and waved tiredly after a while, "Oh, everything is God's will, you go."

Emperor Shizong nodded and silently withdrew from the hall.

When Emperor Shizong walked far away, the Empress Dowager leaned on the back of the chair, stared at the gods and Buddhas depicted on the top of the main hall, and thought to herself: Jesada said that he would not destroy the fate of the Greedy Wolf. Greedy Wolf turned into peach blossoms and formed peach blossom evil. Could it be that the person who shakes my century-old foundation in the Great Gold was actually a woman? Or a woman who was quite close to Bubo?

The Empress Dowager was shocked, sat upright, and repeatedly asked someone to bring the harem list and search it carefully. It seemed that she had to strengthen her control over the harem. Whoever wanted to confuse the Lord and charm him would pass her first.

When Emperor Shizong was discussing affairs with the Empress Dowager in Cining Palace, the news that Jiang Yingyue was deposed as a first-rank female official because of her failure to protect her master had already spread the news in the palace.

When Xiaoyu heard the wind, she quickly returned the news to the Crown Princess, "Miss, this is also Jiang Nushi. If she hadn't been careless and hadn't watched you, you wouldn't have been ill. She was indeed a little short of being a first-class female official."

Madam Qin nodded with emotion.

Jiang Yingyue's boat was about to enter the water, but she was overturned by her light words. Ouyang Huiru, who had just woken up, immediately recovered her spirit and couldn't help laughing.

Xiaoyu was a man who couldn't hide his words. Seeing that his master was in good spirits, he looked hesitant and he looked like he wanted to speak but stopped.

Madam Qin glared at her secretly, with a warning face.

Ouyang Huiru covered her mouth and smiled, waved her hand, "Xiaoyu, what else do you have? Say it." It must be not good news when looking at her expression, but it is okay for her, she is not afraid of anything now.

Since the master spoke, Xiaoyu took a breath and said quickly, "Go back to the lady, the woman kneeling in front of the temple was taken back by the prince. I heard that because she offered a suggestion to ask the wizard to exorcise you, the queen mother invited the great wizard of Jesa. So the emperor spared her life and promised that the prince would give her a title."

"Oh, is that?" Ouyang Huiru closed her eyes slightly and responded distractedly.

It turned out that this woman came up with the idea. It was really hard for her to get to the top. It was okay, even if she had a status, she could not get over it. However, this woman could be anything but not a concubine. If the concubine had the opportunity to contact the palace affairs, she would never take it lightly.

After thinking about it, Ouyang Huiru nodded secretly. It seemed that it was time to meet Prime Minister Ouyang.
