Abandoned woman has love

Chapter 208 Jade Pendant
"Please don't worry, old princess! I will definitely do my best." The empress looked at the old princess politely and said.It's just the slightly trembling hands she put in her sleeves showed her excitement at the moment.

"Then I will trouble the empress!" The old concubine stayed in the empress's palace for about half an hour before leaving.

Aunt Mo looked at the empress who was still excited while holding the jade pendant with a look of surprise.In her memory, she only saw this look of the empress on the day when the empress was conferred the title of empress.Ever since the empress sat in this position, she had never seen the empress lose her composure like this again.

"Mo'er, do you know what this is?" the empress said excitedly holding the jade pendant.

Aunt Mo shook her head.In fact, Aunt Mo's surname is not Mo.But because the Empress has always liked to call her by her baby name.Over time, the eunuchs and maids in the palace shouted at Aunt Mo.

"Your Majesty, what is the origin of this jade pendant?" Aunt Mo asked in surprise as she looked at Empress Empress.

"Origin? Of course there is a lot of history? This jade pendant was given to Prince Cheng by the late emperor. After Prince Cheng married the old concubine, not only did he live past the age of 20 for the first time, but also the old concubine was pregnant. This made the late emperor very happy and emotional. But the late emperor knew that Prince Yicheng’s body would not last long. In order to prevent the old concubine from being bullied by the clan after the death of Prince Cheng. I gave this jade pendant to the old concubine. An important function of this jade pendant is to make the elders of the clan obey orders. But this jade pendant can only be used once."

"Then isn't this jade pendant very precious!" Aunt Mo said in surprise.

"Precious? It is more than precious to me!" The Empress said with emotion.Now the emperor is obsessed with elixir, dotes on Concubine Hui, and loves Princess Anyang.The palace has long become a pandemonium.She is not afraid of anything else now, but she is afraid that the emperor will be taken advantage of by those who want to, then her emperor's position will be in jeopardy!

Ever since Ling Yuntian and Prince Cheng left, the emperor has become unscrupulous.Now there is Yuan Yu making waves again.Everyone has become insecure inside and out.Even the forces she had cultivated before, she did not dare to act recklessly.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the Eldest Prince is the orthodox royal family. Your Majesty is a Mingjun, so nothing will happen to the Eldest Prince." Aunt Mo said comfortingly as she looked at the worried Empress.

"Mingjun! Hmph! You have seen that Mingjun adopted his own cousin. Since the head of Anyang County looks a little like Qingya, but that is not the reason for the emperor to adopt him!" The queen empress looked disgusted. Said.

She had heard before that the princess of Anyang had an alluring appearance.The failure of the third prince back then stemmed from the Princess Anyang.It is heard that the third prince was also extremely infatuated with this beautiful Princess Anyang.When he heard that the first emperor wanted to take Anyang Princess as his own, he would not hesitate to rebel.In the end, he fell into a situation where both people and money were empty.Not only did he give up the throne that was at his fingertips, but he also took his own life.

It can be seen that this Princess Anyang is a troublesome beauty!Now, on a whim, the emperor has brought the princess of Anyang into the palace in disregard of the worldly etiquette.Could such an emperor still be a Mingjun?

"Your Majesty, be careful!" Aunt Mo said, looking at the Empress Empress with a frightened expression.

The Empress looked at Aunt Mo with a wry smile and said, "Don't worry, Mo'er. I know it well. It's just that I've been too repressed recently. That's why...!"

"Mother, since we have chosen this path, there is no reason to turn back!" Aunt Mo said with emotion.Concubine Hui is now favored, and there is Yuan Yu's support outside the palace.The queen's position in the palace has become even more precarious.Unexpectedly, the old princess sent this jade pendant at this time.Undoubtedly it is timely help!
"I know. But the old concubine's jade pendant is not a gift for nothing! She told me that the king of Chengjun wanted to marry the third lady of Duke Huguo's mansion, and hoped that I could speak kindly in front of the emperor."

"Prince Cheng wants to marry the third lady of Duke Huguo's mansion? Could it be that Prince Cheng has already...!" Aunt Mo swallowed the second half of the sentence abruptly after seeing the empress's expression.

"Regardless of the relationship between Prince Cheng and Ling Yuntian, even if it's for this jade pendant, I will help you with this." The empress said with a gloomy face.Now she is already weak in the capital, if she can have the power of the clan, it will be even more powerful for her.

"Ma'am, how do you want to help?"

After thinking for a while, the empress waved to Aunt Mo, and then whispered a few words in her ear.

Aunt Mo nodded, she quickly left the empress's palace.

Within a few days, the empress heard the news that the emperor wanted to come to her palace for lunch.

"The emperor is here!" Eunuch Li's sharp voice sounded.The emperor strode into the empress's Kunning Palace.

"Your Majesty is auspicious!" The empress looked at the emperor with a face full of surprise.

The emperor glanced at the queen without a trace.If he remembered correctly, he hadn't been to Kunning Palace for about three months.But he didn't see any grievance or dissatisfaction on the queen's face.

"Ying'er, serve the tea quickly! By the way, the emperor likes the blue and white porcelain bowl the most, remember to use that tea set to make tea. And...!" The queen ordered happily.

The emperor silently looked at the busy queen, and couldn't help thinking of his days in the palace.At that time, he was an unfavored prince.He was squeezed out by his brothers everywhere.But it doesn't matter how much he has been wronged outside.As long as he returned to the mansion, the queen would always have a smiling expression.She never complained to him about anything.

The empress was very attentive and brewed the emperor's favorite tea for the emperor.

"The queen should sit down first! I have something to tell you." The emperor looked at the queen and said softly.

"Yes!" The queen obediently sat down beside the emperor.

"If I remember correctly, today should be the seventh day since the death of the old lady of Duke Huguo's Mansion!" The emperor looked at the queen and asked casually.

The empress could not help but tighten her fingers nervously.However, she nodded quickly and said: "Yes! Logically speaking, after receiving the news of the old lady's death, the Protector should have written a letter to observe his filial piety long ago? I don't know if the emperor has a candidate to replace the Protector. ?”

The emperor's eyes were heavy and speechless. A few days ago, Yuan Yu had written a letter to take over Ling Yuntian's position in Yuncheng.But he never expressed his opinion.

Although he has always wanted to take back the military power of Duke Huguo's Mansion in Yuncheng.But he also knows that this matter can only be figured out gradually.After all, the Duke Protector's Mansion has been operating in Yuncheng for so many years.How can it be controlled by just one person.Moreover, as the west gate of the Han Dynasty, Yuncheng could not tolerate sloppy and negligence.

The most important point is that he is even more worried about Yuan Yu.After all, Yuan Yu's identity was there.If he is really allowed to master the western army.If he swung his troops to the east, it would be over even if he regretted it.

Between Ling Yuntian and Yuan Yu, he still trusts Ling Yuntian more.The reason why the Emperor Taizu granted the Huguogongfu the military power for generations was because the Huguogongs of all dynasties would follow the ancestral precepts.That is to protect every reigning monarch of the Han Dynasty.

"Who do you think is more suitable?" The emperor looked at the empress with sharp eyes and asked.

The queen looked at the emperor worriedly and said: "Your majesty, you really love my concubine too much. The concubine is just a woman, how would you know that general is competent! But there is one thing the concubine knows, that is Yuncheng It has been run by people from the Duke Protector’s mansion for generations. If a general is suddenly sent to replace the Duke Protector, will it cause any trouble?”

The emperor nodded involuntarily, what the queen was worried about was exactly what he was worried about.Before that, he was still thinking about taking advantage of the passing of the old lady in the Duke Huguo's mansion to take advantage of the opportunity to call Ling Yuntian back?

"What do you think of An Linghou?" The emperor couldn't help asking after thinking for a while.He has been thinking about this issue for the past few days, if he let this chance of recalling Ling Yuntian go by for nothing, he would really be a little unwilling.

At the beginning, the reason why he agreed to Ling Yuntian to take over Yuncheng.On the one hand, it was because Ling Shenzhi and Tartar had always been glued together, which made him very dissatisfied.Because he urgently needs a victory to establish his prestige and prestige.On the other hand, he wanted to take advantage of Ling Yuntian's opportunity to go to Yuncheng to obtain Qingya in one fell swoop.

But things backfired, when Ling Yuntian took over the entire Yuncheng.Only then did he realize that after Ling Yuntian left the capital, it became even more difficult for him to control.Even Qingya, who was pregnant, did not hesitate to travel long distances to Yuncheng.Things have been getting more and more out of the track he expected.

As far as he was concerned, he didn't like the loss of control.

"The Marquis of Anling is not bad. But he is too old!" The empress said with a worried expression.

Anlinghou is a famous general who became famous together with the old Huguogong.Moreover, the Marquis of Anling also fought against the Tartars in Yuncheng.Whether it's about martial arts or seniority.Marquis Anling is the best candidate to take over Yuncheng.But the problem is that the Marquis of Anling is nearly 70 years old now.Just imagine, can such an Anlinghou still lead troops to fight?

"What about the son of the Marquis of Anling?" The emperor asked unwillingly.

The queen pondered for a while without saying a word.She didn't dare to draw conclusions about this An Lingrong heir.Because the favored concubine Hui in the palace was sent in by Anling Hou Shizi.Moreover, Anling Hou Shizi also has a lot of relationship with Taoism.Now he is a popular person beside the emperor!
If one says something bad, all previous efforts will be for naught.However, she knew that as long as the emperor was not confused, he would not send the Prince of Anling to lead the army to fight.

Because many people in the capital know that what Anling Hou Shizi has is just a show.

"Hey! Forget it! Although Anlinghou Shizi has read a few military books, he has never been on the battlefield after all. Moreover, it is not a child's play to lead soldiers in battle. I think it is better to forget it!" The emperor said to himself The words said.

"Your majesty, my concubine has a plan. I don't know if it is feasible or not?" The queen looked at the emperor thoughtfully and said.

"It's okay for the queen to say it!" The emperor originally wanted to find someone to discuss with him today.It's rare that the queen can figure out a way.

"That's right. It seems unrealistic for Duke Hu to return to the capital now. But it's always inappropriate for us to have Duke Hu in his hands. The concubine thought, King Cheng is also in Yuncheng now, Although his strength is limited, he still has a restraining effect on Duke Huguo. If we can make Duke Huguo trust some Chengjun Kings more at this time, then we might as well take this opportunity to protect Duke Huguo The third lady of the Duke’s Mansion bestowed a marriage to King Cheng. In this way, we can make King Cheng and Duke Protector better bond together! And…”

"In this way, wouldn't it make their relationship closer?" The emperor interrupted the queen with a sullen face and was very displeased.

The queen looked at the emperor with a smile on her face and said: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the old princess is still in the capital. Who doesn't know that the king of Chengjun is the most filial to the old princess! As long as the old princess stays in the capital for a day , King Chengjun will be under our control for a day. Moreover, we are not only giving King Chengjun a concubine this time, isn't there a place for a side concubine in King Chengjun's mansion? How about a piece!"

The emperor's heart couldn't help but move, facing the queen's proposal.He thought it was a good idea.But who should be chosen as the side concubine?
"Then does the empress have a candidate for a side concubine?" The emperor asked with a relaxed expression.
