Chapter 310 Competing for favor in the harem is also a study of human relations ([-])
Empress Chen returned to her seat, and said through the bamboo curtain, "I have heard about the "Interpersonal Relations" you are talking about from Lu Fang, and I have also read his notes. However, it talks about how to communicate with others. , what does it have to do with the affairs in the harem?"

Sun Dan saluted, sat cross-legged on the wool cushion, stroked his short beard with his hand, and said eloquently: "The so-called study of human relations is just a few principles that people should abide by when interacting with others. Although your majesty is The Ninth Five-Year Lord, but he is also a human being, and he possesses all the seven emotions and six desires, joy, anger, sorrow, and joy that humans possess, so he can use this knowledge to apply them."

Behind the bamboo curtain, Empress Chen pondered for a long time, and then her figure flickered again: "Your Majesty is also human...he also has his likes and dislikes...but, he doesn't want to see me at all, and every time he sees me, he won't say much. In one sentence, the face is full of disgust. Mr. Sun, tell me, is there any way to make His Majesty...even if it is to let him talk to me more..." Empress Chen's voice was full of resentment.

Sun Dan was also a little helpless, and only said: "Empress Empress, the reason why Your Majesty is impatient to see you is probably because you are too impatient, which made His Majesty unhappy, right?"

Empress Chen said angrily: "Why am I in a hurry, what is this palace so anxious for?"

Sun Dan: "Look, look, the empress is just in a hurry now. I don't know if I should say something or not."

The queen also felt a little embarrassed, paused, and then said a little angry: "This palace speaks in such a tone, it is possible to be misunderstood by your majesty. Sun Qing's family, you and my monarch and ministers get along well. If you have something to say, you may as well say it clearly."

Sun Dan still felt that something was wrong: "I'd better stop talking, I'll teach you about interpersonal relationships."

Empress Chen was very displeased, and snorted: "I've already watched your class, although what you say is reasonable, but I can't do it if I ask you to do it to others. What is your status? If you are not His Majesty, why should you try to please others?"

Sun Dan was speechless.

Empress Chen continued: "If you have something to say, just say it. I know what you want to say. It's just about why I'm not favored by the Lord Long Live now. Is there something wrong between our husband and wife? Don't be slick, Sun Dan, just say what you have to say, just say it straight, don't be afraid of offending me. What I need is a counselor who can tell me the truth, not a submissive little eunuch.

Sun Dan was speechless for a long time, and then bit the bullet and said: "Since the empress said so, then I will speak bluntly, and hope that the empress can find a way to win back His Majesty's heart."

He was suddenly a little embarrassed. He was famously thick-skinned in the office before, but he had discussed marriage, family and love with his female colleagues.But the problem is, those female colleagues are all at the level of Mama Sang, and they haven't seen any battles before, even if they say something wrong, they won't take it to heart.

And the Empress Chen in front of me is a young girl who has just grown up. Talking about this with her always feels a bit wrong.Moreover, she is still a queen... Sun Dan felt that the vest was a little hot, embarrassing and uneasy.

But I am already the chief staff member of Empress Chen, everyone is a grasshopper tied to a thread, if I can't run away from you, I can't run away from me, so I have to say something.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Sun Dan had no choice but to say in a dull and emotionless tone: "As I said just now, Your Majesty is also a man. There are all men. Men are people who have a good face and like to show off. This is especially true today. Your Majesty is arguing with His Majesty all day long, no wonder His Majesty doesn't come to you."

He continued: "There is another characteristic of men, that is, they don't grow up. Your Majesty is only 16 years old now. Even if you become the emperor, you still have a childish personality. Therefore, you must understand him first, and then you can coax him. .If you want him to pamper you forever, you have to make him happy. Madam, do you make His Majesty happy?"

Empress Chen behind the bamboo curtain was silent for a long time before she said bitterly: "Your Majesty treats me like this, why should I let him please?"

Sun Dan smiled wryly: "Mother, if you don't let His Majesty do what you want, His Majesty will naturally not let you do what you want, and then everyone doesn't like what you want, why bother?"

Although Empress Chen felt that what Sun Dan said was reasonable, she refused to admit defeat verbally: "Sun Qing's family, keep talking."

Sun Dan boldly said, "A man is like a book, you have to understand him. First of all, your majesty, you should understand that it is not easy for your majesty. Now, he has only been enthroned for a few months, and he is pestered by the ministers to take the imperial examination." Let’s talk about things. Before the issue of Dali is clarified, it is impossible for him to display his ambitions. Therefore, His Majesty will definitely be very anxious at this moment, and his attitude towards the people around him will inevitably be a little colder. On this point, your majesty Should be able to understand."

Behind the bamboo curtain, Empress Chen lowered her head thoughtfully.

Sun Dan: "Secondly, men are all about saving face, especially Your Majesty. Nowadays, the ministers are pestering the issue of the emperor, but they are actually just trying to gain power and divide the power that Emperor Wuzong had in his hands. The power of the monarch and the power of the prime minister have existed since ancient times. We have been fighting non-stop for a long time, the relative weight, the monarch's power is light, and vice versa. The new king is enthroned, and he is also constantly adapting to the cabinet ministers. They both want to find a critical point that everyone can accept. The things in the court are originally It's just a mess. If you come back to the palace and your majesty is still trying to challenge His Majesty's authority, think about it, will your majesty also equate you, your majesty, with the group of cabinet ministers who are dedicated to making trouble for him? In that case, your majesty naturally doesn't want to Let me look at you one more time. Respect Your Majesty and give Your Majesty a face is what you should do most right now, Madam."

"Ah, why didn't I think of this." Empress Chen yelled in surprise, then stood up, rolled up the bamboo curtain with her hands, and said softly: "In this case, why didn't anyone else tell Ben Gong? Talking always feels like there is a layer of separation, Sun Qing's family knows everything you can say today."

Sun Dan smiled wryly in his heart, and said to himself: You are the empress, and others are slaves, and they are all afraid of you. Whoever dares to say such things will lose his head if he is not careful.I, Sun Dan, was also forced to do nothing by you today, so I broke my heart and said everything out.

Sun Dan continued: "Secondly, you should worship Your Majesty."

"Just because he is the emperor?"

"No, no, the Son of Heaven is for people to worship. But my lady, don't forget, if you are just ordinary people, then Your Majesty is your husband and you are his wife. You should treat him as an ordinary man, an ordinary man. A man's husband looks at worship. Only in this way can your worship make His Majesty feel good. If you worship him as the Son of Heaven, Your Majesty will not care." Sun Dan shook his head.

"It's... so complicated, I don't quite understand it." Empress Chen rested her chin on her hand, staring at Sun Dan with a pair of wonderful eyes: "Forget it, I don't bother to bother you, Sun Qing, just tell me what I should do." it is done."

Sun Dan: "How to worship is not easy, praise him. Sincerely appreciate and like him. For example, His Majesty likes to practice Taoism, you can praise him for his profound cultivation. , After taking the elixir, your majesty's body is hot and dry, and he only wears this single clothes in the cold weather. What do you say when you change into usual?"

Empress Chen curled her lips: "The medicine is [-]% poisonous. If your Majesty takes medicine indiscriminately, there will be health problems. In such a situation, I will directly advise you. Please stop taking the medicine and wear more clothes."

Sun Dan shook his head: "No, you can't do this. You should pretend to be surprised, and tell Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your cultivation level has greatly increased. In such a cold day, your concubine has already shrunk from the cold. Your Majesty is wearing a loose coat and a big robe, and there is a breeze coming slowly, he is really a land fairy!"

Empress Chen was a little surprised: "This is also okay?"

Sun Dan: "Yes."

"Isn't this deceitful?"

"No." Sun Dan said affirmatively, "You are trying to make His Majesty happy. Well-intentioned deception is still acceptable. For example, if a person is terminally ill and you tell the truth that he will die soon, it is not to make him die sooner. Ordinary people encounter such a situation, they will comfort the patient and say that your illness is just a minor ailment, and you will be fine after a few days, so don’t worry. In this way, the patient’s mood will also improve, and he may live a few more days.”

"En, that's also true." Empress Chen moved her hand away from her chin, and nodded: "Sun Qing's family, please continue talking, Ben Gong listens."

Sun Dan: "Your Majesty's biggest problem now is that His Majesty refuses to talk to you. If you want His Majesty to continue pampering you, you have to find a way to get him to talk."

"Then... what should I tell him?"

"Quoting Your Majesty to talk about his most proud thing, I want to ask your empress, what is His Majesty's most proud thing?"

Empress Chen: "What else can you be proud of? Your Majesty is most proud of wearing less clothes in winter, and the most proud thing is practicing."

"Then you tell him about cultivation."

"But... it's a way."

"By the way, there is one more thing to pay attention to." Sun Dan said.

Empress Chen: "What's important?"

Sun Dan: "As long as you can make His Majesty talk, you can't say anything more, just listen quietly and be a good listener, right? The most important thing in human relations is to learn to listen, even if you talk to me No matter how uninterested you are, you have to pretend to be interested."

"Really."

"Yes." Sun Dan nodded affirmatively: "As long as you can be a good listener, I can guarantee that His Majesty's heart will definitely come back to your empress. Remember, be a good listener."

"is it?"

Sun Dan smiled: "Let's go back to Concubine Zhang's pregnancy."

When the matter of Concubine Zhang's pregnancy was mentioned, Empress Chen's face darkened.

Sun Dan laughed suddenly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Concubine Zhang Gui is pregnant, so naturally she can't serve the emperor. If your Majesty makes a move at this time, it is a good opportunity! I am also a man, and a man's mind is the most understanding."

Sun Dan's words may not be meant to be funny, and in his heart he didn't really regard Empress Chen as the empress who is the mother of the world. After talking for a long time, he seemed to have returned to the office of modern society in a trance. The female colleagues were talking dirty jokes.In a moment of slippery tongue, he actually said these words out of his mouth.

Sun Dan was taken aback, felt embarrassed, and sweated profusely on his vest.

Empress Chen also heard that the smell was not right, her face was flushed, and her eyes were full of sparkles.

Sun Dan's heart moved, this little pocket beauty is really cute!
There was something wrong with the atmosphere in the room. It took a long time for Empress Chen to regain her composure, and gave a deep salute: "Today, with Mr. Sun's guidance, I know that I have been a fool for so long."

Sun Dan hurriedly replied: "It's still the same sentence, eating the king's salary and being loyal to the king, Sun Dan is just doing his duty as a courtier."

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Empress Chen was furious, she turned her head and was about to scold, but found that it was her little maid who came in.

The little maid: "Congratulations, my lady, congratulations, my maidservant just got the news that Concubine Zhang Guifei has had a miscarriage."

Sun Dan stood up abruptly, screaming in his heart that it was bad, Chen Hong was going to be in trouble.

He must have done it, he must have done it.
