Queen of the Black Phoenix

Chapter 429 Harem situation
"Tap, tap." The sound of horseshoes resounded refreshingly on the road made of large stone slabs in the Royal Forest Garden in the palace.

The day is sunny and suitable for horseback riding.

You don't need to go to Shen Xuegong, and you don't need to learn etiquette.

But there are many things in court, and the little prince's husband, Wang Ruyi, is also very busy these few days, and is often called by Emperor Shen to go to the imperial study, where he sits for a whole day.

And the number of officials entering and leaving the harem gradually increased.

There was an inexplicably tense atmosphere.

The happiest person in the palace is probably only the little prince Li Nanguo who has only learned to walk and can only crawl most of the time.

I ate and slept all day, and I was happy.

Even if his biological mother He Guiren died, he didn't know it.

After all, he was really young, he didn't even have the memory of that night, he only thought that Concubine Lu was his mother.

Although Concubine Lu has no milk, he still relies on Concubine Lu very much.

As long as she saw Concubine Lu, she would raise her head, with a clean face and a smile ready to hug her.

And the eldest prince, Li Ping'an, has passed the age of drooling and hugging.

But it was his first time riding a horse.

Because the prince of Jing State was injured while riding a horse and was trampled to death by a horse, no one in Shen State's harem dared to teach him how to ride a horse.

Even Luo Fei was a little worried.

But Shenyou felt that it was not good for boys to be kept around women all the time. Li Pingan looked black and strong, but he was too timid.

Still have to ride a horse for exercise.

So she decided to take him for a ride.

He chose a very docile gray horse, first taught him to step on the saddle, and Shenyou sat behind him.

The two share a horse.

Even so, Li Pingan was still stiff, nervous and frightened.

The hands are cold and cold.

"Don't be afraid, even if you fall down, it's fine. I grew up on a horse when I was a child. You relax and your body shakes with the horse. Don't be afraid." Shenyou warned.

But Li Pingan was even more afraid.

Is it okay to fall?Will die.

The crown prince of Jing State fell to his death.

But he couldn't say anything nervous, he just gritted his teeth, closed his teeth tightly, and stared at the front as if he was dead.

The body is as hard as a board.

Shenyou really has no way to deal with children. In the past, she used to throw out the children in the wilderness with one hand, and the children crawled back by themselves, very tough.

But Li Pingan just looked at Pi Shi, but his mind was really delicate and timid.

It wasn't until Shenyou led him to ride the horse for the third lap that his stiff body relaxed a little, and of course he couldn't stand it anymore...

When the little princess heard that Li Shenyou was taking Li Pingan to ride a horse in Yulinyuan, she couldn't hold back her curiosity, so she also planned to go and have a look.

But it took her a long time to change clothes.

After finally picking out a set of riding clothes that he was satisfied with, he was about to go out, but was stopped by the people behind Xiao Zhao.

"Your Majesty, please go over now."

Li Yiren was a little puzzled.

What the queen mother said to her last time was really shocking. She thought that she was already the most thoughtful person in the world, but she didn't expect her mother to have more and more terrifying thoughts.

She didn't dare to see her these two days.

She has feelings for Empress Xiao Zhao, after all, this is the woman she saw when she opened her eyes in this world.

In this huge palace, she is her mother, raising her up.

Although Empress Xiao Zhao is actually an extremely deserted person.

There is no one else in her heart, the entire harem, and even the entire Shen Kingdom, Li Yiren can feel that only she is slightly different in the eyes of her mother.

At least when she was sick, she was really sad.

If something happened to her, she should be sincerely willing to pay for herself.

The queen mother is really cold to others, just like she is to Li Pingan, she just looks like she doesn't care about his life or death.

For the little prince Li Nanguo, he has no interest in taking a second look at him.

But Li Yiren also has feelings for Shen Huangyu, and speaking of it, she even has a deeper feeling for Shen Huangyu.

Because Xiao Zhao's temperament is always changeable, she can't figure it out.

As for Shen Huangyu, apart from being playful, she has nothing to say to her as a princess.

The most important thing is that Li Yiren didn't want to be the emperor, even if she helped the queen mother toss the palace fight, and even helped eradicate dissidents, but she never wanted to be the emperor.

She doesn't like Huang's self-proclaimed lonely, real lonely.

If her character was like that, she wouldn't like Yin Hua.

She is just an ordinary girl who can chase stars and like pretty boys. The life she wants is also very simple.

There is no such thing as kingship or hegemony.

That was a life she couldn't imagine at all, so she avoided meeting her mother these few days.

She hoped that it was just Xiao Zhao's last excited thought, if that was really what she wanted, she really didn't know what to do.

At first she thought that she was the only princess, the person of destiny, and the biggest difficulty was the occasional palace fight. What she got was the script of peace and joy, but she didn't expect that now she discovered that her mother's empress had a heart for the emperor of the enemy country, and she might even be the emperor. The spy of the enemy country even killed the former empress, and she may not be a person of destiny at all, but took the way of others to live...

What should come is always coming.

Li Yiren didn't change his clothes, and went directly to the Showa Palace of Empress Xiao Zhao.

The weather was still a bit cold, and Empress Xiao Zhao liked to go to Fengyuan to see the chrysanthemums very much, she seemed to be a little bit cold.

When the little princess arrived, she was lazily lying on the warm couch.

Seeing her daughter in riding clothes, Xiao Zhao raised her eyebrows and sneezed.

The maid next to her hurriedly reached out to catch it, then handed over a silk handkerchief to Xiao Zhaohou to wipe carefully.

I reached out to catch it, because I was worried that something would be sprayed on my body when I sneezed.

Although the little princess is used to being served by others, she is not used to this kind of thing. She is not used to seeing her mother behave like this.

In her memory, the queen mother was very cautious at the beginning, so at that time, when she saw other women in the palace being favored, she felt nervous and angry, and even did some inappropriate things.

But now the empress mother is wearing a flamboyant phoenix robe, with a calm posture, and the makeup on the corners of her eyes has also changed from the previous restraint to the current one.

"The queen mother is well." Li Yiren saluted politely.

Xiao Zhao didn't directly pull her up like usual, but examined her for a while.

Then he said, "Are you going to ride a horse?"

Li Yiren nodded.

Empress Xiao Zhao naturally knew that Li Shenyou took Li Pingan to ride a horse, and she had her eyeliner in the Temple of Divine Blessing, so she would definitely report this kind of thing to her.

"She is a vulgar person, are you also vulgar?" Xiao Zhao snorted and said lazily.

Li Yiren was a little surprised by the disgusted attitude of the queen mother.

"It's just a rare sunny day, and I want to exercise." Li Yiren said, she didn't want to mention Li Shenyou's matter. If the queen mother had already pulled the queen down because of her position, and now the queen is not in the world, even if Li Shenyou existed. It affects the position of the queen mother, and she feels strangely towards Li Shenyou, both defensive and friendly, envious and hostile.

"My mother was just in a hurry that day, so don't worry about talking nonsense." Empress Xiao Zhao pulled Li Yiren to her side and sat down together.

The maids in the room filed out.

Only mother and daughter are left.

There was also the dumb girl Ah Rong who knelt under Xiao Zhao's hind feet and kneaded the soles of Xiao Zhao's feet.

"My mother won't embarrass you, but I just don't want you to marry, I don't want you to marry so far away, and I want you to stay by my side forever." Empress Xiao Zhao rubbed her head with neither light nor heavy force.

The little princess was also silent.

"Your father is cowardly, the army of Jing State has been dispatched again, and the courtiers are urging the marriage. I will let Li Shenyou leave Shen State as soon as possible."

Xiao Zhao paused for a moment, and said coldly: "It's still true that you two are really sisters, and you want to marry her instead. To tell you the truth, it was the queen mother who did something wrong back then, intercepting her luck. You, with you and without her, if you have kind thoughts in your heart, you don't know that she has malicious intentions."

The little princess looked up at Empress Xiao Zhao in surprise, it turned out that the Empress Mother knew about it all along.

Her mind was in a mess. By the window, a bouquet of daisies bloomed beautifully. Li Yiren looked at the daisies and remained motionless.
