Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 239
Renshou Palace

The emperor went to Renshou Palace to pay his respects to the empress dowager. Because of the matter of offering sacrifices to heaven, the empress dowager said a few more words to the emperor. Therefore, the emperor did not leave after paying his respects like in the past.

"Your Majesty, Huo Mingzhu really did a great job in offering sacrifices to the heavens this time." Because of the offerings to the heavens, the Queen Mother's impression of Huo Mingzhu changed slightly.

The emperor nodded and agreed: "What the queen mother said is very true, not to mention that she stood in front of the altar alone, but this time it is said that she was exhausted because of the sacrifice to heaven."

If you ask the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty at this time, who is the celebrity in front of the emperor, ten of them will say it is Huo Mingzhu, if anyone praises Huo Mingzhu in front of the emperor, the emperor will face him, otherwise, the emperor will definitely defend it A few words.

"It's just that no matter how capable you are, you are still a daughter, and you have to be married. If you don't get married as soon as possible, it will delay the girl's life." In the eyes of the queen mother, this woman should be a husband and a child. Too powerful is not good. .

Huo Mingzhu became the national teacher, and the queen mother was quite critical. This sacrifice to heaven can only offset those bad impressions, but it can't make the queen mother not object to her standing in front of the court as a daughter .

She still objected the same.

Moreover, Huo Mingzhu is Baili Jingqi's sweetheart, and Baili Jingqi is not young, so it would be good if Huo Mingzhu was allowed to enter Baili Jingqi's palace at this time.

However, the emperor didn't think so.

The queen mother reminded him that Huo Mingzhu was going to be betrothed to someone after all, and the emperor understood what the queen mother meant. If she wanted Huo Mingzhu to be the princess, if the emperor would have agreed in the past.

but……

As soon as the emperor thought that Huo Mingzhu became the crown princess, this matter of alchemy could not be continued. Then, he would have no pills to use. Thinking of this, the emperor felt displeasure flashing in his heart.

The whole world belongs to him, Huo Mingzhu should also belong to him, Baili Jingqi is his son, as a son, how can he rob his father of things.

Thinking of this, the emperor felt that if he could make Huo Mingzhu his woman, and let Huo Mingzhu make alchemy for him to eat in the future, wouldn't he be able to keep Huo Mingzhu as his own forever.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the emperor's face.

The queen mother watched the changes on the emperor's face, from displeasure, to anger, to the final show of face, she watched, but couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking, so the queen mother said: "Your majesty, Aijia told you so Do you hear that?"

"My son has heard it all. Madam Empress Dowager, please relax. My son has his own opinion about the matter of the national teacher." The emperor had made a decision in his heart, so he became more sympathetic towards the empress dowager.

The queen mother looked at the emperor's smile, thinking that the emperor had listened to her words and was willing to make Huo Mingzhu the princess of Baili Jingqi, so she was also happy in her heart.

If it is said that the person that the queen mother loves the most in her life is Baili Jingqi, the queen passed away early, leaving behind such a naive child, who finally grew up after bumps and bumps, and the queen mother feels that it is a gift for him to fall in love with a woman So what, if it can make him happy, let alone one woman, even if there are a hundred, the Queen Mother will allow him.

Huo Mingzhu is recuperating at the National Teacher's Mansion at this time, and it is a rare leisure time. Su Hao spends all day tinkering with those foods, and all these foods go into Huo Mingzhu's stomach.

Although Baili Jingqi came here often, because there was only one master in the National Teacher's Mansion, she would stay if it was not good, and she would leave after a while. Yu Tong also came a few times, but Lin Ruyi and Huo Huaiyu once. None came.

Huo Zhengde also came once, hinting some words in a dark language, meaning to listen to Baili Zonglu's words, don't fight against him, otherwise you will suffer so much, Huo Mingzhu also pretended not to understand, but Yu Tong brought Got a lot of news.

Among them, Lin Ruyi quarreled several times, and once it was so serious that Huo Zhengde even said that he wanted to divorce his wife, but in the end it didn't matter. For this matter, Lin Yunxi even appeared in the General's Mansion.

Huo Mingzhu thought to herself, presumably it was to interfere with Huo Zhengde's divorce. Although he didn't divorce his wife in the end, it's just that the general's mansion is also a mess. Yu Tong said, compared to her place, the general's mansion is really messy.

Seeing Yu Tong sighing, Huo Mingzhu didn't feel that there was anything to be sorry for Yu Tong, but comforted her with a smile, and asked her to directly hold the real power in the backyard of the General's Mansion in her hands, what will happen to the General's Mansion.

After hearing this, Yu Tong seemed to be enlightened and left excitedly.

Huo Mingzhu didn't want to inquire about what Yu Tong would do, and she didn't care about it. Right now, she had to think about what to do next. She became a national teacher, but she didn't have real power in her hands, nor did she have enough talents available.

Although Fang Tieyi is not bad, many of the people he recruited for her are very capable, but it is not enough. She has enough money to support the hidden guards. It is time for Fang Tieyi to train more Some dark guards came out.

As for the crown prince Baili Jingqi, she already knew the cause of his death in the previous life, and so far, she has successfully prevented him from being persecuted again, so Baili Jingqi should not have to die in a short time .

As long as he does not die, Baili Zonglu will not dare to do anything to overthrow the emperor, otherwise, if he really overthrows the emperor, but let Baili Jingqi sit on the throne, wouldn't it be a waste of time, Baili Zonglu Not so stupid.

He must have been secretly preparing for the next move, but Huo Mingzhu didn't know it at this time, the situation had changed, and many things had changed.

If in the past, Huo Mingzhu had the advantage of the prophet, then now, like the players in this game, Huo Mingzhu has to figure it out by himself.

Huo Mingzhu didn't even think about how to take the next step, but from the mouth of the emperor, Huo Mingzhu knew that the future path was beyond her control.

At the beginning of her recovery, Huo Mingzhu met Saint Xie En.

"The national teacher has just recovered from a serious illness, and his body is still very weak. You have to take care of it carefully, but don't fall ill again." The concern revealed in the emperor's words made Huo Mingzhu feel a little strange.

If it is said that her alchemy has made the emperor protect her, but this caring is too much. Therefore, Huo Mingzhu feared that there was something she didn't know, so she said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Mingzhu's body is gone. Big problem."

"That's good." The emperor looked at Huo Mingzhu with a smile.

Huo Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat when the emperor looked at her. This look was definitely not the way the emperor looked at an ordinary courtier. This look was not the same as Baili Zonglu looked at her.

It has nothing to do with love, but wants to get someone's eyes.

Could it be that the emperor also wants to...

Thinking of this, Huo Mingzhu felt an unknown fire in her heart, the emperor is old enough to be her grandfather, yet he still wants to get her!

"If the emperor has no other orders, the courtier will leave." Huo Mingzhu withdrew her gaze and put it on the ground, so as not to let the emperor see the anger in her eyes.

The emperor didn't think about letting Huo Mingzhu leave, he smiled and said: "Today's memorial has been approved, I just want to take a walk in the Imperial Garden, the national teacher might as well accompany me for a walk."

When Huo Mingzhu heard this, she almost couldn't suppress her anger, this old man wanted her to accompany him for a walk, but Huo Mingzhu didn't have the right to refuse, so she had no choice but to say: "Yes, my daughter obeys. "

Even in late autumn, the imperial garden is full of fragrance. If it was in the past, Huo Mingzhu would have been distracted to appreciate it, but what she discovered just now made her not in the mood to appreciate it at all, so she kept her head down all the time. , followed behind the emperor.

"Even Qiu Jing is so intoxicating." The emperor suddenly sighed.

"Yes, Mingzhu also feels that no matter it is spring, summer, autumn and winter, each has its own beauty." Huo Mingzhu said.

Originally, it was just a casual echo, but after listening to it, he was overjoyed: "The national teacher also thinks so, it's really a hero who sees the same thing."

Seeing the emperor's smile, Huo Mingzhu knew that the emperor had misunderstood her meaning, but she couldn't explain it, so she could only lower her head in silence.

After a while, I heard the emperor say again: "The delicate flowers in the garden are competing to bloom, and it makes people feel at ease when looking at them. These delicate flowers should match the beauties." He held the brilliant pink camellia in his hand and looked at it carefully.

Just when Huo Mingzhu was guessing what he wanted to do, the emperor stepped forward and pinned the flower on Huo Mingzhu's bun.

With this move, Huo Mingzhu could no longer hide herself, and looked at the emperor with wide eyes.

"Why is Mingzhu looking at me like this?" The emperor smiled slightly, looking very happy.

Huo Mingzhu resisted the urge to pull out the flower and throw it towards the emperor's face, she hurriedly lowered her head and said to the emperor: "Mingzhu thank you for your reward."

If it is said that these actions of the emperor are not enough to let Huo Mingzhu know the intention of the emperor, then there is no need to take revenge.

However, this cognition also caused Huo Mingzhu to fight in his heart before deciding to accept it.

If becoming the emperor's woman can get what she wants, she is willing to go this way. However, if she wants to become the emperor's woman, she must also become the most honorable woman around the emperor. There are so many women around the emperor, but, There has always been a huge disparity in the position of queen. Thinking about it, the concubines who wanted to compete for that position would probably be bloody. Huo Mingzhu didn't have that much time and energy to compete with those women. If she wanted it, she would get it in one fell swoop.

"Hehe, now I know what it means to be more charming than a human being." The emperor seemed very happy.

Huo Mingzhu said: "Your Majesty, when His Royal Highness gave the hairpin to the courtier's daughter yesterday, he didn't say anything about the courtier's beauty. Now that the emperor said that people are more beautiful than flowers, I'm afraid it's an exaggeration."

When the emperor heard this, his face darkened.

This is the effect Huo Mingzhu wants, she just wants to remind the emperor that she was once a candidate for the crown prince, even though she is now a national teacher, if she wants to marry in the future, it is reasonable to marry the crown prince.

According to how much Baili Jingqi values ​​her, one day Baili Jingqi succeeds to the throne, and Huo Mingzhu will be the queen.

It is to remind the emperor that if he wants her now, he must exchange the queen's position.

The emperor understood Huo Mingzhu's words, and the emperor was very happy about Huo Mingzhu's willingness to be his queen.

Huo Mingzhu didn't know that the emperor didn't care who became his queen at all. It was because the queen mother stopped him before, and he didn't have a suitable queen candidate. This queen has only been vacant for several years. Now, Huo Mingzhu is going to be accepted into the harem , with Huo Mingzhu's status as the daughter of General Huo Mingzhu, and Huo Mingzhu's status as the candidate for the crown prince, conferring a queen would do more good than harm to the emperor. Originally, he just wanted to get Huo Mingzhu.

Therefore, the emperor doesn't care about other incidental things.

Thinking that he could get the pill that Huo Mingzhu made for him at any time in the future, the emperor was even more anxious to issue a decree to confer the title immediately, but the remaining rationality allowed the emperor to stabilize himself.

But he didn't know what kind of calamity his act of sealing the empress had brought him.

When Huo Mingzhu came back from the palace, she got into her alchemy room and fiddled with it for a long time, even Su Huan didn't know what Huo Mingzhu did in it.

Huo Mingzhu's actions were also because the emperor was really angry. If he didn't do this, the anger in Huo Mingzhu's heart would not be calmed down.
