The queen is charming, but powerful ministers lure her to seize power and usurp the throne

Today's day is very good, the wind is sunny and the warm breeze is blowing.

Just as Shui Po arrived at the gate of Yong'an Palace carrying the medicine, the two eunuchs carrying the box hurriedly stopped and stepped aside to let Shui Po go first.

Shui Po entered the door and walked along the corridor. The busy maids and eunuchs along the way all avoided and saluted.

Each of them was carrying something in their hands, whether it was plum vases, famous utensils, or boxes and cages of clothing. They all came out of the Qinghe Palace and were being moved continuously to the side hall.

When they got to bed, Shui Bo heard the queen's gentle voice inside.

"I feel sorry for you to stay in the side hall and take care of Yuen Long with all your heart. He is less than a month old and suffered a lot during childbirth. He is weaker than ordinary babies. He is sick and has fever almost all the time. If there is anything wrong, you will never Don't panic, just come and report to me directly, the most important thing is to hide everything. This is the first prince of the Holy Emperor, if something unexpected happens, you know how powerful it is."

"The Holy One believes in you and asked you to take care of me. If you are serious about it, I will also miss you in Yuen Long in the future. But this is a job that no one else can ask for."

"Yes, I will do my best and not let the eldest prince make any mistakes."

"You are an honest person, and I believe you can do it. The side palace has been cleaned up by them a long time ago. It is facing the sun. It is good for you and Yuen Long to live there. Everything has been moved here today. You go and take a look. If you are dissatisfied with anything, feel free to tell them, and you and Yuen Long must not be wronged."

"Thank you, Queen, for taking care of me."

"Well, I'm afraid the side hall is a little messy today and it won't be sorted out until the afternoon. You can come and share lunch with me."

"Yes."

The palace attendant lifted the curtain, and Liu Zhaoyi came out, looked at Shui Po, nodded and smiled at her, and said hello.

Shui Po bowed his knees slightly and saluted.

I thought to myself that I didn't care about this person in the past, but now that I saw him from a distance, Liu Zhaoyi looked a little familiar.

Shui Po entered and whispered to Sang, "Liu Zhaoyi looks silent, but he is actually a person who does big things."

She, who is usually a quiet person, actually coaxed the emperor to hand over the eldest prince to her care.

Zhe Sang smiled and took the silver scissors to repair the flower arrangement in the vase.

"It seems that you have blamed the wrong person. She is not the one who coaxed the emperor. It is obvious that the emperor does not trust us people."

"When he first came to the throne, he had to use the harem to build the relationship between the emperor and his ministers in the court and reassure the ministers. Therefore, most of the concubines have various forces involved behind them. The eldest prince is the only dragon vein at present. What if I have a girl in my belly? , then he is the prince. Whoever entrusts the care of the eldest prince is equivalent to entrusting the next generation of emperor to that force. It was fine at first, but after more than ten years, some people will be anxious to support the new emperor."

"Liu Zhaoyi was the one he adopted in the village during the previous war. She is the most inconspicuous in the harem, and she is also the most reassuring to him."

"But the empress has no outside help, and she is the master of the harem. Wouldn't it be better to raise her under her knees?"

The small and sharp scissors made a crisp sound, and bright flower bones fell on the table.

Zhe Sang smiled and said, "Because he doesn't trust me."

"Mrs. An had always been at odds with me before she was alive. He felt that I would wait for an opportunity to retaliate. Also, I am pregnant with a child, so there is no guarantee that I will not have evil thoughts and regard the eldest prince as an obstacle."

Zhesang cut off a few more flowers, stepped back slightly, and looked at the whole thing.

"However, his worries are really unnecessary."

She said rather amusedly, "What do I really want to do, so what's the use of him worrying?"

The emperor insisted on raising the eldest prince to Liu Zhaoyi.

Zhe Sang simply moved Liu Zhaoyi into Yong'an Palace and raised her together.

Su Qiong'an's children can also be regarded as the blood of the Su family.

She did not plead for the Su family at the beginning, nor did she collect the bodies for the Su family.

This is a little bit of compensation.

It was also because of Su Qiong'an's pleading.

Shui Po watched silently as she pruned the mulberry trees, each time cutting on a branch she didn't expect.

successful.
Unsightly.

"Ahem, my dear."

"Ok?"

"Let it go."

Shui Po pointed to the pot of flowers under her hand.Zhe Sang walked over and looked at Shui Ba from his position.

She has finished cutting off the tall flowers. Looking at it this way, it looks a bit like an upside-down bowl.

Zhe Sang was silent for a while, then took Shui Po's hand and put the scissors in her hand.

"This look is quite memorable. Please help me improve it. I'll go see if Yuen Long is awake."

Shui Po looked at the scissors in his hand, then walked over to look at the pot of flowers.

It looks like a ridge from the side and a peak from the side, and the distance is different in height and ugliness.

I have to say that the empress has some abilities.

Shui Po looked at it for a long time, but the empress didn't leave any chance to make amends.

"Shuibo, what are you doing standing there?"

When Chongqing came in, he saw her standing there like a log and couldn't help but wonder.

Shui Bo hurriedly threw away the scissors and said, "I was just looking at the tweed my empress was repairing."

Chongqing walked over and smiled, "I can't blame you for saying it was trimmed by the queen."

"It's really a haircut done by the queen!"

"Uh-huh."

Chongqing stretched out his hand to fiddle with the messy flower branches, nodded, and the smile on his face deepened.

Shui Po feels that his image has been seriously damaged.

"If you don't believe me, ask your Majesty."

"I believe it."

Chongqing smiled and said, she had served Zhe Sang for several years, and this was not the first time she saw Zhe Sang Xiu Hua.

The amazing thing is that although the flowers pruned from mulberry trees do not have much ornamental value, they have great entertainment value.

It's quite different.

But Shui Po always felt that Chongqing was perfunctory with him.

The two of them laughed and joked and arrived at Zhe Sang's side.

Zhe Sang was teasing the child. He was always sleepy and listless, but if someone played with him, his grape-like eyes would be brighter.

When she is happy, she will spit bubbles. The tip of her tongue is small and pink, very cute.

"Your Majesty, you were the one who cultivated that potted flower, right?"

Zhe Sang deliberately teased her: "Yes, yes."

Shui Po: Why does it seem so weak the more you explain it?
Chongqing looked at the eldest prince, "It looks like he has grown a lot, and his face is also rounder."

The little guy seemed to hear someone commenting on him. He opened his mouth slightly and turned his head in the direction of Chongqing. His bright black eyes were as pure and clear as water, and the woman's smiling and gentle face was reflected in them.

Zhe Sang, "You didn't go to the library this morning, why are you back again?"

Chongqing's smile faded slightly, "Superintendent Li has been on leave for several days. I made an appointment to come back today as a errand. I waited all morning and couldn't tell him to come."

Shui Po: "I guess something delayed me."

Chongqing said nothing. Zhesang noticed something was wrong and raised his eyes to look at her, "Why are you so worried? But what happened?"

Chongqing whispered, "But someone saw him entering the palace this morning. Now that he's here, you can't tell me anything in person. I waited for two hours in vain, and only a little eunuch threw a message to me." "

Zhe Sang smiled and said, "Are you unhappy about this?"

Chongqing suddenly sighed, "That's not entirely true. Madam, I don't know what's wrong with me. I always feel depressed and have random thoughts all day long."

There's one more chapter to go
