Chapter 73

The warm fragrance is overflowing, and the cold air cannot enter the main hall, so it can only linger outside the door. A branch of plum blossoms independently cold head, which is extraordinarily enchanting.

The empress dowagers of the two palaces sat on one side, and behind them, two uniformly dressed maidservants were holding mahogany combs and putting their hair in buns.

"Sister, she looks very good recently." The Empress Dowager looked at the woman beside her, stroking her black hair hanging on her back with one hand, "I have already started to grow gray hair."

"Sister." The Empress Dowager Dong said coquettishly, "Look at what you said, you are still as good-looking as before." The corners of her mouth were slightly bent, looking at the face that no longer existed in the bronze mirror, her heart turned cold, and she said sadly, "It's different in the end, you and my sister are trapped in this deep palace, in vain... exhausting the life of this life."

When the Empress Dowager heard about it, she immediately sighed, "I'm the one who got you involved."

"Sister, don't say that. It was my father who sent me to the palace, not you."

"But... in the end it's because of my sister's incompetence." A thorn in the Empress Dowager's heart, it was her heart disease for many years.

The Empress Dowager Dong didn't know how to comfort her. Seeing her rubbing her shoulder with one hand, she didn't care about her half-up bun, and got up and came behind her, "But your shoulder hurts again?"

"It's an old problem." The woman's hand was pinched softly on her shoulders, and the pain subsided a little.

"Let the imperial doctor come over and take a look?" Putting aside their luxurious clothes, the two of them are just petite daughters, and perhaps neither of them wants to fight so-called.

"No, it's a temporary solution, not the root cause." The Empress Dowager Xi leaned back in her chair, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "I heard that Dr. Mo's master is here, and I would like to see him. I wonder if we can take him in Use it for yourself." The Eastern Empress Dowager froze her rubbing hands, her expression was gloomy, and she said to the maid beside her, "Go and invite the national teacher over here."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager Xi is so smart, she waited until the group of people had retreated before she said solemnly, "What's wrong?"

"Sister, that person..." She hesitated to speak, her cheeks blushed unnaturally, "I told you about it."

The Empress Dowager West was startled, and searched carefully in her mind. After a while, Fang's eyes widened, and he clasped her wrist with one hand, pulling the Empress Dowager East a little closer, "Could it be that Yun Chao's man?"

The empress dowager Dong's pupils were shining brightly, her lips were pursed into a smile, her well-maintained face showed ripples of happiness, she nodded, "It's him, he said, he would rather stay in Xuanchao, and he won't leave again."

Holding her hand, the Empress Dowager Xi asked her to sit opposite her, "My sister has always been ashamed of you. Back then, it was also because of me, otherwise...he wouldn't have left."

"Sister." Seeing that she was full of self-blame, the Empress Dowager Dong couldn't bear it, "Don't talk about these past things again. Before, I never blamed my sister. Now that he is back, it is even more impossible for me to remember those past events. .”

"Empress Dowager, the national teacher is here." Outside, the servant girl announced that the two of them regained their immersion and sat on both sides.

The door was opened, and the man walked in wearing a navy blue robe with full sleeves.The servant girl closed the door wisely, and Mo Xiu stepped forward, the lights were bright, he bowed and bowed, "I will see the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces."

The Empress Dowager East looked at his handsome and tall figure, and immediately waved her hand and said, "Excuse me."

No woman wants to see the person she loves bow down to her.Besides, this man is willing to send him to the tiger's mouth for himself.

Moxiu stood up, and the ground of the inner hall was bright. He looked up and saw the two empress dowagers sitting in front of him. One of them was dressed in a maple leaf red palace attire, and the other was gentle and temperamental. , the blue palace attire is the closest to it.His eyes fell on the faces of the two of them. He only heard the Queen Mother Dong mentioned that she had a twin sister, but he did not expect that they looked so similar.To be exact, if it wasn't for knowing that the Eastern Empress Dowager didn't love that extreme beauty, even he wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

"I heard that the national teacher is willing to submit to my Xuan Dynasty?" The Empress Dowager Xi was not surprised when she saw the expression on his face that hadn't retracted. Anyone who met him for the first time did not have such an expression.

"Back to the Empress Dowager West, I am a citizen of Yunchao, so I should do my part for my country." He looked at the Empress Dowager East who was on the first seat. The woman was excited and asked him to come. In fact, It was also a small test, to see if he could tell the two apart at a glance.

"What a meager strength." The Empress Dowager Xi stroked the tail ring in her hand, she pillowed her chin, and said straight to the point, "I don't know if the imperial teacher's allegiance refers to the emperor, or someone else?"

Moxiu knew that such a problem would be brought to the fore sooner or later. He had heard about the discord between the emperor and the empress dowagers, "If you go back to the empress dowager, the humble minister is just a courtier. This allegiance is naturally to the emperor. But it is also for the two empress dowagers."

The woman smiled slightly when she heard the words, at least, he was not as stubborn as Mo Chenli.

"Then I will ask you again, if there is a conflict between the emperor and the Eastern Empress Dowager, how should the national teacher's loyalty be weighed?"

"Sister..." Upon hearing her say this, the Empress Dowager Dong hurriedly grabbed her wrist, but she didn't know what to say. After all, she also wanted to know the answer she was about to say.

The Empress Dowager West lowered the hand that was hanging by her side, and patted the back of her hand with the slightly cool palm. Empress Dowager Dong felt her comfort, her expression eased a little, and the hand she was holding relaxed.She was leaning down, and the two looked at each other, waiting for his answer.

In the center of the hall, Moxiu stood with his hands behind his back, and a beautiful jade was hanging on his simple and carved belt.His eyes were clear, which further made his expression cold and his eyes calm.He was silent, and the empress dowager's heart sank. When the man's thin lips were lightly parted, she was already dripping with cold sweat, "I am willing to side with the empress dowagers of the two palaces."

The Western Empress Dowager smiled, and the Eastern Empress Dowager relaxed her whole body, and let out a heavy breath.

"Unexpectedly, the national teacher is such a person who values ​​love and righteousness." The Empress Dowager looked at the woman beside her with relief in her eyes.

"What the minister is for, the Empress Dowager should understand." The man said every word sonorously.

With Mo Xiu's help, the power of the two palaces has become even more powerful.He traveled all over the world, not only his medical skills are superb, but even the preparation and detoxification of poisons are unmatched by anyone.

The Empress Dowager of the West is a sage, coupled with the relationship of the Empress Dowager of the East, the two of them no longer treat him as an ordinary courtier, but he is very careful in dealing with each other, and even Mo Chenli does not know that his own uncle was actually a man of the East. Beloved of the Queen Mother.

That fishing, when the two returned to Fengyu Palace, they didn't even see a small fish. On the contrary, Concubine Fengyue was lying on his shoulder, and she didn't even know when she fell asleep.When he woke up, he felt a headache and a stuffy nose, and the emperor didn't feel any better. Fortunately, Li Yan boiled ginger soup in time, so it didn't get worse.

A few days later, the wind was sunny and the rare good weather.

The first batch of beautiful women were selected, and following the wishes of the queen dowagers of the two palaces, they held a grand banquet in the garden, saying that they wanted the emperor to have a look at them one by one.He had no interest at all, but it was hard to break the ancestral precepts. Concubine Feng was the queen, so naturally, she couldn't escape.

This was the day when the emperor first met the beautiful girl. Those who didn't like the picture album beforehand had been brushed down long ago, and the ones left were naturally dignified and distinguished family members.

Sitting next to Gu Yezi, Concubine Feng looked at the beautiful women standing in several rows, all of whom had similar costumes and hair accessories. If she wanted to stand out, she could only rely on her own talents and means.

The first beautiful girl came gracefully, saluted, and stood in the center of the stage respectfully, "The daughter of the people, Ru Yuan, is the daughter of General Murong in the court..."

Concubine Feng couldn't hear a word of what came next, she held her head in her slender hands, and turned slightly to the side, and saw the emperor, just like herself, lazily lying on the back of the chair, with narrow and narrow eyes narrowed like willow leaves in spring , very fine.His temple hair was jet-black, his chin was raised, and he happened to bump into Concubine Feng.The emperor's face was as jade-like, and he pursed his lips suddenly, with an extremely helpless expression. Concubine Feng couldn't hold back her laughter after reading it.

"Minister Zhixuan, please refer to the emperor, the empress dowagers of the two palaces, empress empress..."

Cai couldn't help but draw the corner of his mouth back, quietly hooking it back, and Concubine Feng looked straight at her.When the woman saw her, she narrowed her eyes and dropped them quickly.She squeezed the hand on her knee, and when she let go, her mood calmed down. She belongs to the Empress Dowager of the Second Palace, so naturally, she would not be kicked out so easily.

one by one……

The very faint scent of jasmine wafted over, and a woman stepped forward, and after saluting, she said, "Minister Junxiangye's daughter, Jun Tian."

It turned out that she was Jun Tian, ​​the daughter brought by Master Jun's new wife.

Concubine Feng looked at her carefully, and saw that she had delicate features, and her appearance was considered outstanding among all the beautiful girls, but those eyes that should have been gambling were now dull and dull.Her complexion was slightly pale, her expression was not as radiant as the other beautiful girls, her pupils were dull, and suddenly they were fixed on her body.

Seeing her, suddenly, she fell to her knees with a plop, her eyes burst out with desperate hope, she slammed her head heavily on the ground, "The daughter of the people asks for the emperor's fulfillment, and the daughter of the people asks for nothing in her life, but to be plain. Live your life, Your Majesty, please let the women out of the palace."

The sudden change made the scene suddenly silent, and Feng Feiyue shook the catkin holding the teacup, almost splashing scalding water on her hand.

"Be careful." The emperor reminded at the right time, took the teacup from her hand and put it on the table.

"You are so courageous. When you are in the palace, you can come and go whenever you want?" The imperial concubine Ming next to the empress dowagers of the two palaces shouted sharply, "I have never seen you so unruly in the history of the show girls." of."

On the side, the teaching aunt's face was ashen, never expecting such a change.

"Empress, you were also forced into the palace. I beg you, please intercede with the emperor and let me live. I really don't want to stay in the palace..." The woman didn't listen to others' words at all. Just kowtow.Concubine Feng was stunned, such a scene really caught her by surprise.Seeing that she didn't speak, Jun Tian simply knelt and stepped forward. Concubine Feng was sitting upright, and was about to get up, but she hugged her legs tightly and couldn't move.
