The queen is alluring

Chapter 23

"What Wan'er said is very true, Zhang Li, tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs to tell them what Wan'er said." The queen mother pondered for a long time, and finally said this sentence calmly.

Ah... In the garden, everyone was shocked.And Yan Meiren, who has always been favored and arrogant, suddenly went limp. This little child actually... plotted against her...

The Empress Dowager got up and said to Gong'e beside her, "I'm begging for a cleverness today, so let's leave first. The matter of the draft will be discussed at another day."

"Yes..." When everyone saw the Empress Dowager standing up, they all got up and left the table one after another, bowing their heads and standing aside, while those beautiful girls knelt down and prostrated themselves.

"Queen, come to Jianzhang Palace with Ai's family. Ai's family has something to tell you." The queen mother glanced at the crowd coldly, and then turned her eyes on Yun Qing beside her. Her eyes were deep in thought, and then she raised her hand to support him. In the hands of Eunuch Zhang, he stepped down the stone steps expressionlessly.

"Farewell to the Empress Dowager" everyone kowtowed and whispered.

Empress... Yun Qing stood in the Qingtian Pavilion, her eyes darkened.

This empress dowager is not an easy character to deal with, and it is said that she never interferes with the trivial affairs of the harem, even her own niece Fufei is not favored by the emperor.So today she is supporting her, does it mean that this seemingly calm queen mother has already started preparing to take control of the harem?

The concubines and concubines in the pavilion dispersed slowly, but Yan Meiren stood still.Yun Qing turned around slowly, but only glanced at her lightly, then turned around and stepped down the stone steps, walking towards Jianzhang Palace.

Yan Meiren was calculated just now, and now she was ignored with such disdain, she couldn't help clenching her fists and gritted her teeth secretly.Is it Leng Wan'er?So what if she is a queen, she will definitely not let her marry into the palace as she wishes...

Jianzhang Palace is located at the north head of the harem. Passing through the imperial garden, which is full of spring scenery and full of flowers, you can see a large open space in front of the palace paved with more than ten feet of sky blue stone bricks. Dozens of crape myrtle plants are in full bloom on the side, accompanied by towering sycamores, with dense branches and leaves, sunlight penetrating through, and the afterglow is mottled.

Yun Qing followed the Empress Dowager up dozens of stone steps carved with white marble, and entered the Jianzhang Palace.

With the support of Eunuch Zhang, the Empress Dowager stepped onto the golden nanmu hibiscus couch in the center of the hall and sat down firmly.

This is the residence of the empress dowagers of all dynasties. Its exquisite workmanship and luxury have left a lot of praise in the history books.

The Empress Dowager leaned slightly on the jasper pillow beside the hibiscus couch, listening to the red gold animal screen carved with white marble and carved with clouds and flying phoenixes as a frame. The delicate woman in the golden peacock burqa came out of the inner hall, cuddled up to the Queen Mother obediently and softly, calling out: "Auntie"

Yun Qing's eyes flickered slightly, this woman should be the concubine Leng Zhong often mentioned to him.

Concubine Fu is the niece of the Empress Dowager Wang and the cousin of the current emperor, Wang Luofu.

"The courtiers see the queen mother." Yun Qing lifted her skirt, walked to the center of the hall and kowtowed.

The Empress Dowager raised her head, no longer the indifference she was in the Qingtian Pavilion just now, she patted Concubine Fu in her arms kindly, and said to Yun Qing: "Get up, Zhang Li, get a mat for the Empress, lean on Come and sit next to Aijia"

Eunuch Zhang covered his eyes, his face turned blue with fright when he heard that the queen mother wanted his mat to be given to Yun Qing, he obediently agreed, then turned around and walked behind the red gold beast screen, after a while, he slowly Tun Tun came out, placed a mat with golden silk phoenix cipher text under the empress dowager's hibiscus couch, and then quickly stepped aside.

Yun Qing looked at Eunuch Zhang's terrified expression and sneered in his heart.She kowtowed and stood up, slowly stepped up the stone steps, and kneeled respectfully on the mat.

Seeing Yun Qing, Concubine Fu showed some surprise on her face, and then she said to the Queen Mother: "Auntie, she is Leng Chenxiang's daughter, Leng Wan'er?"

The Empress Dowager nodded, and sat up Zhengan. Although her face was tender but shrewd, she looked Yun Qing up and down again, and suddenly said after a while: "The Ai family heard that Prime Minister Leng's beloved daughter can interpret the Book of Songs at the age of three. At the age of four, he was familiar with the art of war, and at the age of five, he was skilled in chess. Therefore, I have long wanted to bring you into the palace to meet him. However, the emperor has been busy with government affairs these years, and the harem is not very stable, so I have been delaying it. Already six years old"

Although Yun Qing lowered her head, she could feel the Empress Dowager's scrutiny. She opened her lips and said, "My daughter's reputation for being stubborn is all over Jinling, and my father and brother both have headaches for it, so I dare not bring it into the palace for fear of causing trouble. As for Those false names are just a cover-up that the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion want to cover up."

The Empress Dowager's eyes moved, and she stared quietly at Yun Qing's lovely and innocent face, as if wondering about the meaning of her words, more like examining her, trying to see through her heart.

Eunuch Zhang stood aside. Hearing these words, he felt that he was seeing a ghost in daylight today. How could this sound like a child with a yellow mouth?This is simply... just a little monster.

After listening to Yun Qing's two words, Concubine Fu was also surprised at the extraordinary speech of the girl in front of her, and couldn't help but also looked at Yun Qing, her eyes were full of surprise.

"Aijia heard from the emperor two days ago that your elder brother submitted the military power to the imperial court, saying, 'If the border war subsides, there will be no need to be in command, and the military power should be returned to the emperor'. This child is very sensible, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are impressed. , your father is really lucky to have such a good son." The Queen Mother suddenly changed the topic, mentioning the withdrawal of her military power two days ago during the Cold War.

Yun Qing smiled slightly, and she raised her eyes and said calmly: "My brother is away all year round, and I don't know the situation in the court. Although the generals fight bravely on the battlefield, their hearts are as straight as beams, so I am afraid that there will be any gap between the monarch and his ministers. Brother can only So with the hearts of His Majesty and the people of the world."

The Empress Dowager raised her brows abruptly, she was deeply focused on Yunqing's watery black eyes, but calm without a trace of turbulence, suddenly chuckled lightly, and said lightly: "What a articulate, well-behaved and obedient child."

"The Empress Dowager Xie praised her, and my courtiers are terrified." Yun Qing said calmly, but she said terrified in her mouth, but there was no sign of fear on her face.

After these few words, not only Fu Fei, who was a little innocent, was a little shocked, but even Eunuch Zhang, who watched the intrigue and battle in the harem, was stunned.

He secretly felt cold. In this harem, no one could withstand the pressure of the queen mother's words, but this six and a half year old boy could respond so cleverly without leaving a trace, it can be said that there is no leak.

It seems that the complex and chaotic buildings in the court can change instantly with just a flick of her slender hands.

In fact, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager are no longer afraid of Prime Minister Leng and the Cold War. Even the secret edict issued by the late Emperor before his death may have something to do with it.However, when the inner palace secretly planned to eradicate the Leng clan secretly, the situation in the court suddenly reversed two months ago - General Wei Lie returned the military power to the court.
