Chapter 597 Announcing the Good News (1)
Xun Zhen didn't wear the deep purple green luan suit, but a goose-yellow floor-length spring dress. The palace dress was extremely elegant, with a red palace sash around his waist, and the gemstone bracelet on his hand gleamed in the sunlight. The light is moving, the hair is combed in a high bun, and a light yellow peony flower is inserted on the side of the bun, and the jasper hollow flower-shaped hairpin is inserted obliquely on the sideburns, and there is a small phoenix crown on the top of the head, and the phoenix is ​​holding a ruby ​​in its mouth. The pendant, as she lightly moved the lotus steps, the pendant complemented the red plum makeup, and the originally ordinary face gradually shone with a brilliance that could not be ignored.

Seeing her smile slightly, Zhao Yuwenhong made a standard court ceremony to Empress Dowager Liu, and then got up and walked along the central axis covered with red carpet, saying: "Xun Zhen didn't intend to be late, but he just had something to do before departure. It was delayed, so I had to be late. I have already asked the emperor about this matter, but the empress dowager is busy today, Xun Zhen is not good to bother, I am afraid that it will disturb the empress to worship the flower god, then it is really Xun Zhen's sin .”

It's not a day or two since Empress Dowager Liu wanted to make trouble for her. It's just a sacrifice to the God of Flowers. She doesn't need to go to Baihua Temple to give her a chance to make use of it. Besides, no matter whether her attitude is humble or arrogant, she will find a reason to attack her.

When the women saw the situation, they knew that the two were incompatible. However, Xun Zhen had the emperor's backing. I'm afraid that the Empress Dowager Liu would not be able to do anything to her. But if the relationship between Xun Zhen and Empress Dowager Liu deteriorated like this, it would not be a blessing for the country after all. , the so-called knowledgeable people frowned lightly, but the clansmen did not depend on each other, and let them fight.

Using the emperor as a shield made Empress Dowager Liu even more angry, which showed that Xun Zhen didn't take her as the empress dowager seriously, and turned to look at Yu Wenhong, "Your Majesty, do you allow her to be so out of line? Don't you use royal etiquette?" In your eyes? Let’s not say whether she is qualified to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and the Ai family is the first one not to accept this attitude.”

Yu Wenhong said: "Don't be impatient, the Queen Mother. She can attend this festival for the reason. Let's not say that the daughters of the world are the protagonists today. It is just that she is in charge of the harem, so that I have no worries about dealing with state affairs. Could it be that I Even if you give her a little praise, the queen mother will have an opinion? Since I became the throne, she has helped me resolve many disputes in the harem, and even if the queen mother doesn't like her, she will treat her equally."

After some high-sounding words, the corners of Empress Dowager Liu's mouth twitched. These words of praise should be given to his wife, that is, his first wife Liu's Concubine Chen, but now they are given to a woman who has no official status. The emperor's heart was unbelievably biased, and he said with a straight neck: "Your Majesty, Aijia is just talking about the matter, there is no other meaning, Aijia does not dislike her, Your Majesty..."

"It's fine if you don't have one. The queen mother is my stepmother, and I must respect her as my own mother. I can't be more at ease if the queen mother can live in peace with her." Yu Wenhong seized the loophole in her momentary words, being gentle yet majestic persuaded.

After hearing the words, Empress Liu gave Yu Wenhong a hard look, "It's good that the emperor didn't misunderstand Aijia. After all, Aijia and the emperor are still mother and son." Biting the word "mother and son", she warned the boy that she was someone he could not disobey. When Xun Zhen was about to step up to the vacant seat on the left hand side of the emperor, he waved the power stick in his hand and said arrogantly: "Wait a minute, Xun Zhen, this year you are not the one appointed by the emperor to officiate at the Hundred Flowers Festival, what qualifications do you have to take the seat?" To the emperor's side? Come here, give her a seat with the high-ranking maid of the sixth bureau, that is your seat, don't get confused, as a court lady, it is already a special kindness of Aijia to be able to sit at the bottom with her. "

The ministers couldn't help being in an uproar, originally the imperial power and the empress power were already fighting, and now the queen mother suddenly made such an attack, I'm afraid the emperor would not agree.

And the women have already started whispering, and those jealous concubines have already covered their mouths and snickered, glanced at the maid's table closest to the entrance of the hall, their eyes couldn't stop gloating, to see how arrogant she is?

Xun Ying was furious, and stared at Empress Dowager Liu fiercely. His sister, the daughter of the dignified Xun family, deserved to sit at the bottom of the table?This humiliation was too great, his face sank, and he was about to hand over his hands to speak. He would never allow others to bully his family members so unscrupulously.

Yu Wenhong, however, took a look at Empress Dowager Liu's haughty face. The people from the Liu family are the least qualified to sit here. Anyone in the entire Hua Kingdom is much more qualified than them. Looking at Xun Zhen's calm face, As expected, his woman is not someone who will cry when others attack her, so she turned to Sun Datong and said, "Go, help Manager Xun up, I will allow her to sit up."

"Your Majesty, it made sense to do so last year. After all, she was under the emperor's mandate, but why did she do this this year? She is just a court lady." Empress Dowager Liu glared at Yu Wenhong angrily. "Even if the Xun family received the emperor's amnesty, they didn't care about the traitorous things that Xun Fang and Xun Yi's father and son did back then. , but being a court lady for one day will be a court lady for life, this cannot be changed by anyone, including the emperor."

Liu Jin'an also said: "Your Majesty, this trend cannot last long. It is not the blessing of the Hua Kingdom. From now on, everything must be returned to orthodoxy."

Some censors also support this approach. After all, it is not the same situation every year, and it seems unreasonable for Xun Zhen to go beyond the distance.

But Yu Wenhong said lazily: "There is no need for the queen mother to be so angry, and there is no need for the ministers to argue, let alone that she is in charge of the Phoenix seal to share my worries, there is naturally a reason for me to let her come up."

"The empress dowager said that she has no hostility towards Xun Zhen, but on the other hand she used Xun Zhen's identity as an argument. This is not the demeanor that a queen mother of a country should have. The emperor treats Xun Zhen differently. Naturally, there is the emperor's intention. Xun Zhen Although I am humble, I will not underestimate myself, and naturally I will follow the orders of the emperor." Xun Zhen said, her hand lightly pressed on Sun Datong's raised wrist, and walked up carefully, without a trace of timidity or letting go. People can see the arrogance, even if her words are also not polite.

After the words fell, everyone frowned and remained silent. Where did Xun Zhen's confidence come from?Just relying on the emperor's favor?Since ancient times, the love of emperors has been unreliable, but she is so hard to understand, isn't it?
Their gazes slowly looked at her abdomen. Since ancient times, the truth that mothers are more valuable than children has remained unchanged for thousands of years. These four words are even more wise for the harem.
