Drunken Exquisiteness

The next day, Emperor Hao, the servant in the hall, canceled the encyclopedia originally scheduled at the end of the month. Feng Yan couldn't help but worry about it after hearing this.

In recent days, there have been many stories of discord between the emperor and the queen in the palace. According to rumors, Emperor Hao had been furious in the Hanguang Palace, which seemed to be for the King of Cham. Feng Yan was pacing with his hand in the Provincial Value Room of Zhongshu, and the Queen of Zhonggong was the Feng family's greatest support. At the beginning, she was Yuan Zhan King, Abandoned King King, single-handedly selected the unexpected King Ling for the Feng family. Now that the overall situation is set, she is now at this moment because King Zhan is at odds with him. How can people not worry?

In a few days, the weather was getting hotter, and the emperor and queen went to Xuansheng Palace to escape the heat. Hao Di only stayed in the palace for one day, and then drove back to the palace the next day, leaving the queen alone in Xuansheng Palace.

As a result, not only was Feng Yan puzzled, but people began to talk a lot. From various legends back then to now when King Ling ascended the throne and King Zhan returned to Beijing, most people guessed that the queen was nothing but a **** for Emperor Hao to contain King Zhan, or the Feng family's means to marry the royal family. Many people even lament that King Zhan loves beauty and does not love Jiangshan, and sighs that it is difficult for lovers to get married.

Qing Chen did not hear these rumors, but turned a deaf ear to it, and took a rest at the Xuansheng Palace. After the accident, her body became worse than before, and some of the wind and cold were repeatedly difficult to heal, and the fever remained low for several days. Ye Tianling was very worried, and after asking the imperial doctor carefully, he personally sent her to Xuansheng Palace to recuperate.

Qing Chen was impatient with the imperial doctor attending the palace, and Ye Tianling didn't insist. He only sent someone to the Muyuantang to invite Zhang Dingshui and ask him to stay in the palace for a month. Qing Chen couldn't help laughing at him making a fuss, but it was very pleasant to talk to Zhang Dingshui about medicine. Nothing to bother me, my mood is relaxed, and my body is much better.

In the quiet forest of Jingyuan, three or two cups of light tea, clear breeze and white clouds, flowing water in the mountains. In a blink of an eye, the summer heat has passed, and Qing Chen feels that his spirit is getting better, so he is ready to return to Luang Tiandu, because not long after the fall, it is the birthday of the Empress Dowager.

This time, the Central Plains of the Great Shou Palace wanted to have a lively celebration, but the Queen Mother had been ill in bed since last winter, her body was weak, and she had no energy to attend the birthday banquet, so she had to keep everything simple.

The regime changed in the Taisho Palace that day, and Ye Tianling deployed the Yulin Guards to station in Yanxi Palace early, so the world was turned upside down, but he never disturbed the Empress Dowager. Only after the fact that the Queen Mother learned of the situation of the Emperor of Heaven, King Xi, and King Ji, she couldn't help feeling sad. Although Qing Chen's medical skills are exquisite, he can only treat illnesses and pains, but cannot prevent aging. The Emperor's family has already started planning funerals in private, but I am afraid that the Queen Mother and the Supreme Emperor will not be able to survive this winter and will be in a hurry.

On the day of the big birthday, a hundred officials of civil and military officials at the Sanhua Gate wished the empress dowager good life and happiness, and the lady of the Yanxi Palace announced the empress dowager’s decree, and awarded rewards to prevent foreign ministers from seeing it. Concubine Su and the empress led internal and external wives, second-grade ministers and family members to enter the Yanxi Palace for courtesy. After the presents and birthdays, the wives and wives withdrew in order, leaving only the concubines and concubines in the palace to give a banquet.

As soon as the early dynasty passed, Ye Tianling rushed to Yanxi Palace directly, and King Hao, King Zhan, and King Li also followed. The empress dowager walked out of the palace with the help of her maid. Ye Tianling saw that the emperor's grandmother was struggling and trembled. It was obviously a festive day, but she felt sad for no reason, and she stepped forward to help herself.

The empress dowager shook Ye Tianling's hand, and watched the brothers of King Hao approach the emperor's grandmother Shou'an, she suddenly sighed, "There are fewer people this year, and next year the emperor grandmother will see you again to celebrate her birthday. ."

Everyone's laughter was stagnant, and the surroundings were slightly dull, but then they heard Ye Tianzhan laughed loudly: "Isn't the emperor grandmother seeing that there are more people this year?"

The spring breeze with a smile immediately brought the stagnant atmosphere over, and everyone's eyes were also attracted to the woman beside him.

Seeing Ye Tianzhan smile and nod her, the woman moved forward. She is slender, graceful and slender, and her face is half-hidden in tulle, which makes it difficult to see her appearance, but her exposed eyes are bright and charming, and she looks forward to her grace.

This is the Princess Duoxia of Yutian Kingdom. When everyone was looking at Duoxia, the emperor's eyes only stopped at her, and then he looked at King Zhan, and at the same time, King Zhan was also looking at him. Come. The two met in midair, seeming to reach a tacit consensus at that moment.

After King Zhan and Princess Yutian returned to the capital, the situation between Korea and China has been at a delicate tipping point. The ministers are clearly divided into two factions. The number of supporters for King Cham is not reduced. On the contrary, King Cham’s actions to stop the battle and stop the army are praised by everyone. Even some lieutenants admire King Cham’s commanding army and cherish the soldiers. "Sage King" is called it. King Zhan’s retreat was a miracle, and the shadow of the sword and sword that had become his royal palace gradually faded, and a more dangerous war without gunpowder was slowly starting.

But at this time, no matter whether it is the emperor or the king Zhan, no one is willing to reveal these in front of the Queen Mother.

Duo Xia generously stepped forward to congratulate the Empress Dowager on her birthday. She spoke Chinese very well, her intonation was clear and brisk, and she was pleasant to her ears. The empress dowager met Duoxia like this, recalling a little bit of the past, and said to Concubine Su: "This reminds me of someone alone."

Concubine Su knows who she is talking about. The scene when the Emperor of Heaven brought Princess Molian back to Beijing clearly came to mind. She said softly, "Mother, behind this veil, everyone looks a bit like. "

The Queen Mother said: "I think I am old. With this veil, I can't see people clearly."

Twelve laughed and said, "Brother Seven asked the princess to cover her veil, but she was afraid that her beauty would be seen by others? This is too stingy!"

Ye Tianzhan smiled. Before answering, she saw Duo Xia's eyes flowing, saying: "It is the custom of our Western Regions to cover her face with light gauze. It is just to keep out the wind, sand and sun. The Central Plains women come to our place. If you don't like it, I won't wear it anymore." He raised his hand lightly and lowered the veil. I saw that her skin was unusually white, her nose and cheeks, red lips and white teeth, her beautiful eyes embedded deep under her eyebrows, suddenly matched with these almost perfect facial features, which only made everyone's eyes brightened and their hearts flowed together. It feels amazing.

Qing Chen had heard of Duoxia's beauty and the rumors that she and King Zhan were in the Western Regions, and smiled lightly to look at Ye Tianzhan.

Turning his head, he found that Ye Tianzhan was also looking at her, and the concentrated expression deep in his eyes was speechless and touching. But only for a moment, he raised his lips and smiled, with a nonchalant smile, and said to the empress dowager: "The imperial grandmother asked Duo Xia to take off the veil. When I return to the house later, my guards may not be enough."

The empress dowager pointed at him: "Look at him, Ling'er, tonight you ask the Yulin guard to send him the princess back to the mansion."

Ye Tianling promised: "Don't worry about the emperor's grandmother, let the court secretary see how much silk satin still has in Curry later, and send them to the Palace of Cham. In the future, whenever the princess goes out of the house, let the seventh brother protect her.

Everyone laughed, and for a while, they were happy. Qing Chen motioned to the servant to pass the banquet, and specially asked Princess Duoxia to sit with her and speak with the Empress Dowager, and then Jin Hui and King Zhan Shizi Yuanxiu.

Next to King Zhan is Princess Wei Yan, the princess who has been looking hostilely at Princess Duoxia. Duo Xia didn't even see her. When she raised her head occasionally, her black jewel-like eyes shone brightly, and then she raised her chin proudly. Wei Yan seemed to have been grabbed by a cat, but it was Qing Chen who was sitting quietly nearby.

Thinking of the recent rumors that raised the sky, my husband gave up the throne for this woman! With a single word of her, he even dared to bet his life, and asked him to abandon his wife and children in the palace, and all the gentry who followed him! Now this woman is in the palace, and she is dressed in a red phoenix suit. The red blood is pouring into her heart, urging her to grow wildly like weeds with hatred, seeming to lose no one's reason. Wei Yan pressed the gold-inlaid ivory chopsticks with her hands and couldn't help shaking with hate, but suddenly felt a warm gaze falling on her body. She saw Ye Tianzhan smile and hold the jade lamp, and she was watching from the side: "We should toast the emperor grandmother. ."

His breath is with the faint aroma of warm wine in his ears, and the slightly raised Danfeng eyes under the crow's side eyebrows are indistinguishable in the shadow of the palace lanterns. Wei Yan involuntarily stood up with him, holding the lamp, smiling, toasting... …Hardly what was said, only his gentle and calm voice echoed in my heart. When they were seated again, everyone was still talking and laughing. Ye Tianzhan poured the wine to toast to her, and whispered: "I have been fighting abroad for more than a year, and I have worked hard for you in the palace."

With thoughtful words like a jade chime, the water poured into the cup, deep and gentle, Wei Yan slightly hung her head: "This is all within the status of a concubine, as long as the prince is safe outside."

Ye Tianzhan smiled slightly and drank the wine. The smile that had been anticipated, a bit of faintness flashed in the light and shadow, and it was so fast that it was too fast to catch it and disappeared. He played with Yuzhan and stared at Wei Yanman casually, "Hui'er and Duoxia have been getting along well these days."

If there is a profound meaning in the gossip, Wei Yan's heart jumped suddenly, but when he raised his head, he had already looked at the opposite side, and Jin Hui was smiling gently with Yuan Xiu in his arms. Yuan Xiu's delicate and lovely appearance was like a bucket full of ice water, pouring her newly warmed heart transparently, Wei Yan's slender nails slowly embedded into her palms, her eyes silently lowered.

Yuan Xiu was over a year old, and it was time to learn to be naughty. He seemed to like Qing Chen very much. Sitting in Jin Hui's arms, he tried to pounce on Qing Chen from time to time, babbling in his mouth, not knowing what to say. Jin Hui was so troubled by him that he was asked to let him down, but Qing Chen reached out to take Yuan Xiu and said with a smile: "Let him make trouble, the emperor's grandmother is happy to look at it, I just hold him."

Yuan Xiu was hugged by Qing Chen and immediately smiled, holding onto the ribbon on her Luan dress. Qing Chen put Yuanxiu around her lap, and the child's small body had a rich milky fragrance, so tender and soft that people couldn't help but take care of it. Yuan Xiu has a pair of eyes that are very similar to Ye Tianzhan, the corners of his eyes are slightly raised, and his eyes are black and shiny, and he always seems to smile when he looks at people. With her slick eyes, a place in Qing Chen's heart collapsed slightly, and she couldn't help thinking, if it was her child, she would not know how to hurt him. A sorrow and grief came to her heart so, she sighed extremely lightly, unexpectedly raised her head, but saw Ye Tianling looking at this side.

His eyes were facing each other, and there was endless regret and guilt in his eyes, especially deep and soft. She smiled at him slightly, and didn't need to say anything, they already knew each other. She never blamed him, so how could she blame him? His pain is no less than hers! As long as he is peacefully by her side, what else is she not satisfied with?

Yuan Xiu rubbed around in Qing Chen's arms restlessly. Qing Chen taught him to call grandma. He seemed to understand or not, and followed the direction Qing Chen signaled, and said, "Grandma Cai!"

Everyone was happy immediately, and Qing Chen screamed and smiled on Yuan Xiu's forehead: "It's great grandmother, too... grandmother."

Yuan Xiu looked at the Empress Dowager sideways, and seemed to think about it seriously for a while: "Great Grandma!" This time the shout was extremely correct. The Empress Dowager was kind and happy, busy agreeing, who expected Yuan Xiu to turn back and raise her face. Looking at Qing Chen, he called out clearly to her: "Mother!"

Qing Chen was stunned there, bowed his head in surprise, Yuan Xiu took his arms around her neck and kissed her face with his soft mouth. He chuckled and hugged Qing Chen. Before Qing Chen recovered, Twelve already joked on the other side: "It's amazing. I learned how to be abrupt at such a young age. What should I do when I grow up?"

Qing Chen felt so painful for Yuan Xiu at this time, protecting him: "As long as he grows up not like his twelve uncles, everything is fine!"

Twelve said: "I'm going to ask the emperor's grandmother to comment on this. Hey! Hold Yuanxiu away from the emperor's grandmother and the princess. You are all beauties around and around you, don't let him be dazzled at a young age! "

The empress dowager laughed and scolded Twelve-mouthed poor, Princess Duoxia didn't care, but felt that Twelve was not as cold as Ye Tianling, not as distant as King Hao, and not as elusive as Ye Tianzhan, it was best to get along , She couldn't help but smiled at him, but Twelve was startled with a smile, his handsome face turned red.

Ye Tianzhan didn't pay attention to Princess Duoxia at this time, only staring at Qing Chen and Yuan Xiu.

Wei Yan looked on with cold eyes. The smile on the corner of his lips was not the usual nobleness and alienation. The smile was so real. A bit of tenderness slowly flowed in that smile and spread gently. Wei Yan could almost feel him at this moment. The thoughts in his heart at the moment, he hoped that the woman holding Yuan Xiu was the mother of the child, even if it was only a moment to look at it, it would make him happy. He smiled so heartily and undisguisedly. How many times she had been eagerly looking forward to it. She saw it before her, but she hated it again.

If she kept everything in the dark, it would be great if she didn't know anything. But she heard so clearly on the wedding night, he called someone else's name! She seemed to have stood on the edge of the cliff, and underneath was an abyss, and his smile tempted her in front of her and jumped down.

"Since the empress likes Yuan Xiu so much, it's better to ask your majesty to take Yuan Xiu into the palace and live there, or to accompany the empress dowager and see him often."

Wei Yan's words sounded abruptly, Ye Tianzhan smiled sharply, and looked at her in disbelief. Jin Hui's face instantly turned pale, and an exclamation had already reached his lips, and he held back.

There was no laughter and laughter in the temple, and everyone present looked at the emperor.

Originally, the prince’s son entering the palace for training was normal, but in the current situation, once Yuan Xiu entered the palace, he became a hostage to contain King Cham like Queen Yin. As long as the emperor has this mind, this is naturally a good time.

Everyone was waiting for Ye Tianling to say a word, but saw a faint smile on his lips. After a while, he put down the golden chopsticks at hand, so he took a long time to look at Qing Chen and Yuan Xiu.

Yuan Xiu was tired from playing at this time, clutching Qing Chen's skirt and gradually going to sleep, the little child didn't know what kind of danger he was facing. Qing Chen patted him lightly, and said with a gentle smile: "The child is still young, and it will inevitably be unsuitable to leave the mother." She raised her head and looked at Ye Tianling for a moment, "When Yuan Xiu grows up, he naturally wants to enter the palace. I'm studying. We might as well ask Brother Dahuang to be the master at that time. Let's leave it to the Twelfth Prince and don't worry. If you leave it to Brother Dahuang, you can always rest assured?

Twelve then said: "Why are you talking about me again? I am not as good as Brother Wencai, but Brother Wugong is inferior to me. Don't ask me to teach you then!"

At this time, Ye Tianling smiled faintly: "Seven brothers are both civil and martial arts, and the tiger father has no dogs. Yuan Xiu will be as outstanding as him in the future. Why should others worry about it?"

Ye Tianzhan's anger at the previous moment has long since returned to normal, and then he said: "I need to ask the emperor to teach more."

Ye Tianling said: "The child is still young, it is too early to say that these are too early, it is rare to be able to act like a baby next to the mother at this time, why bother to persecute them."

Ye Tianzhan didn't expect that he would have such words. The meaning of these words seemed to be unclear, as if they said that the affairs of this generation have nothing to do with the next generation. Thinking about King Xi and King Ji again, apart from the death of King Xi's eldest son, they really didn't get too involved. It was this heart-warming attitude, he raised his eyebrows and looked up, only to feel that he had this opponent, which made people feel comfortable.

After Qing Chen said that, he just lowered his head to coax Yuan Xiu to sleep, and never looked at Wei Yan who had caused the trouble. Others might not understand Ye Tianling's words, but she understood, and don't do to others what you don't want, he also understood what she meant.

Seeing Yuanxiu fell asleep, she carefully handed him over to Jin Hui. Jin Hui was anxious early, and immediately took the child and hugged him tightly, tears bursting into his eyes. Qing Chen smiled comfortingly at her and said softly, "Don't worry."

Jin Hui burst into tears: "Thank you, Niang Niang."

At this time, Qing Chen looked at Wei Yan, and only glanced at Wei Yan's face sharply. She turned around and smiled slowly: "After sitting for so long, I think the emperor's grandmother is going to be tired. Your Majesty, we still Please rest early."

The empress dowager was indeed in a state of insufficiency, so Ye Tianling led the crowd to go to her birthday for the empress dowager again, and Qing Chen personally helped the empress dowager into the house to rest. At this time, a female officer hurried in, and whispered something in front of Qing Chen. Qing Chen's eyebrows gathered, before he could speak, the servant in front of the hall had already announced loudly: "Niang Niang Yin!"

Ye Tianzhan was shocked when he heard the sound, turned and looked outside the hall.

Under the golden eaves and Huazhu, Empress Yin was walking quickly, followed by several female servants and servants, trotting hastily. She was dressed in a bright red-luan skirt and phoenix, with towering clouds on the temples, gorgeous hairpins, exquisite makeup, and noble demeanor. The slight haggardness under her eyes did not affect her proud posture. She was dignified and graceful, as before.

Everyone who was about to quit all stopped. Empress Yin arrived in the temple and saluted the Queen Mother first: "The mother and the queen have a long life. I almost can't come. Now I am a step late. Please don't blame the mother."

The Empress Dowager ordered her to be flat, and Empress Yin looked around the crowd, her eyes filled with brilliance. Ye Tianzhan stepped forward and fell to his knees: "Mother Queen!" Wei Yan and others also hurriedly followed him to bow down.

Empress Yin looked down at her son, with love and hatred in her expression. She held Ye Tianzhan's hand and trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but after all she endured it. She looked up again and saw Duoxia, a little surprised. Ye Tianzhan hurriedly said, "Queen, this is Princess Duoxia."

Unexpectedly, Queen Yin immediately lowered her eyebrows, and said coldly: "Being so charming, these foreign women can't do anything good except to confuse men to harm the country and the people. You remember for me, stay away from this kind of fox! "

Everyone heard the words, and everyone could hear that she not only swept Duoxia's face, but also meant something. Ye Tianling's eyes were steep and deep, and anger was faintly visible, but it only prevented that there was no attack in front of the Queen Mother.

As a princess, Duo Xia was favored by the king, and she was regarded as a guest of honor when she married to the celestial dynasty. She was very courteous. Ever heard such words? She picked up her beautiful eyes and blurted out: "Manny, since ancient times, as long as there is anything that indulges in beauty and harms the country and the people, she has always referred to women as fascinating beauty, but she does not know that it is those men who are innocent. If they have a clear mind, Who can confuse them? If you are confused at first, it is the same even if there is no outstanding beauty. I admire the prince who is very talented and would like to marry the Central Plains with him. I don't think he is the kind of faint person who can confuse only the beauty. "

No one thought that Duo Xia was so bold that she would confront Empress Yin face to face. Empress Yin was even more unexpected, and she was suddenly too angry to speak.

Ye Tianzhan glanced at Duo Xia quickly, then turned her head back and immediately pleaded guilty to Queen Yin: "Mother, Duo Xia is young and ignorant, and her words are a bit too much. Erchen will make it to the queen for her. Erchen is not a confused person, so he asks the queen mother. rest assured."

Empress Yin stared at him: "Don't worry? How can you make me feel relieved? Don't say it's you, it's your wise father, who will not end up in the hands of the alien demon in the end! Why are you not confused?"

Ye Tianzhan truncated her words in a deep voice: "Mother Queen!"

Empress Yin shook off his hand and said to the Empress Dowager: "Mother, you are all in your eyes, the Ye clan descends from Shidi, who is not trapped in the word'love'? Mu Di, Tian Di, There are also these in front of you, without exception! I can't control it, don't you care? Twenty-seven years ago, those things couldn't be wrapped in paper. You know in your heart that the emperor now is..."

Before she could finish her words, the empress dowager sternly shouted: "Shut up!"

Killing intent appeared coldly in the darkness of Ye Tian Ling's eyes. Empress Yin didn't say anything below, others didn't know it, but Qing Chen knew what it was, and his heart sank. If we continue to talk about it, even she can't save Queen Yin's life.

The Empress Dowager held Qing Chen's hand to face the crowd, and said slowly: "Haoer, take your brothers to kneel down. Everyone will withdraw. Without my instructions, they are not allowed to enter the hall."

After seeing the children and grandchildren in front of me, the eyes of the grand empress dowager are fascinated with a luster that is not commensurate with the age. It is the wisdom and understanding that has gone through the years, and the peace and depth of the world can be seen. The slight morbidity was covered by this luster. At this time, the empress dowager seemed to be a different person.

The servant Gong'e first withdrew in order. Ye Tianzhan was worried about his mother and hesitated to move. Twelve walked to him and clung to his arm: "Brother Seven." Ye Tianzhan met those sloppy eyes that had always been sloppy, and the fleeting sharp light was as strong as the force he felt on his arm now. , Forcing him to suppress the turbulent emotions in his heart. He turned his head, Empress Yin was standing under the colorful glazed lamp in the main hall and gave him a glimpse. For the first time in more than 20 years, he felt that his mother was so far away from him. understand him.

As the footsteps gradually disappeared, only the Queen Mother, Empress Yin, Ye Tianling and Qing Chen remained in the hall, becoming extremely quiet.

The cold wine feast, there is no longer any birthday celebration, and it becomes extremely dull. Qing Chen supported the Empress Dowager and sat down again. Empress Yin raised her jaw slightly, facing Ye Tianling, and then turned to the Empress Dowager and said, "The empress did not expect that someone would know about it, right? Shen moved her fetal gas and gave birth prematurely, so she came to Yanxi Palace to greet the queen. The queen did not like the lotus, but at that time she was willing to promise her that the emperor would naturally not doubt who the child was. Now think about it, Concubine Lotus has always pretended to be indifferent, because she was afraid that this secret would be discovered.

The empress dowager half-closed her eyes, thought about it a little, and said, "Oh, you found the royal doctor back then."

Empress Yin said: "The empress still remembers the imperial doctor."

The empress dowager nodded slightly: "Yes, although I am old, such a person still remembers it. At first, I was soft-hearted, so I kept him alive. I don't want to give birth to future troubles after all. It is also difficult for you to think of this and find out. this person."

Queen Yin said: "This is God's will. After investigating these years, I thought it was impossible, but I found it in the end."

The Empress Dowager said: "It seems that you have already had your heart, but now you know, so what?"

Empress Yin said: "The mother has hidden this secret for so many years. Even though she is protecting him because he is the son of Mu Di, she doesn't want to think about the fox and charming son of Concubine Lian. Who knows who she was pregnant? Child?"

With a bang, Ye Tianling slapped Yu'an with a palm. No matter how well he kept it, he couldn't help being furious when he heard Empress Yin insulting her mother face to face, "What are you talking about!"

Qing Chen was startled, the Queen Mother turned her head and shouted, "Ling'er!"

Ye Tianling has always respected the Empress Dowager, and with a palm of his hand, he finally resisted the anger in his heart. Qing Chen put his hand on his hand, his face was slightly cold, but it was still shocking.

Empress Yin took a step back subconsciously, but then stood still and continued without giving way: "Since he is not the son of the Emperor, how qualified is he to inherit the Datong? Even if the Emperor of Heaven had an edict, it is clearly caused by being deceived! He usurped the throne and seized his protagonist, and now he has confined the Emperor of Heaven in Fuming Palace. He doesn't know his life or death. Isn't the mother and queen just watching?

The empress dowager raised her eyes, and a kind of majestic aura shot from that gaze: "Since you came to me, you must have not forgotten how the emperor ascended to the throne. What qualifications do you have to inherit the master?"

Empress Yin said: "It was the queen's wise decision at the time that had these decades of stability, such as today's century-old foundation can be ruined in the hands of others? Let the mother be the master!"

The Empress Dowager said: "You can also think of the foundation of the heavenly dynasty, then you know why I wanted to protect the emperor ascended the throne?"

Empress Yin was stunned for a moment, and replied: "The mother queen naturally stands for the country to choose the best."

The Empress Dowager smiled faintly and said, "Yes, that's the case. That year, Emperor Mu died and there were two sons behind him. I didn't stand them because they were young, but because they couldn't sit in this position. Then The two children are impulsive and affectionate; they are cowardly and cowardly, and difficult to be a big responsibility. If this huge country is handed over to them, how can people be assured? The young lord of the country, the gentry who is watching by the side will be in power, we Orphans and widows, wouldn’t it be difficult? So I managed to force them to support the Emperor of Heaven as the throne. When the Emperor of Heaven came to the throne, he was struggling. After working hard for many years, I will have a future situation. It's not because I have any selfish intentions, but because the foundation of the celestial dynasty cannot be buried with me. Ling'er was brought up by me since I was a child, and I know he will not let me down."

Empress Yin said: "I'm going to ask if the mother said this, isn't Zhan'er inferior to others?"

The Empress Dowager’s eyes fell on her face, expressing meaningfully: "Zhan'er is very good. To be fair, in some places he even beats Ling'er. But it is a pity that he has your mother."

Empress Yin raised her slender eyebrows, her expression proudly displeased: "What do you mean by empress mother?"

The Queen Mother said in a hurry: "In fact, you are also very good. I have been watching you in charge of the harem all these years, and I have never made any mistakes. This is very rare. In terms of means and shrewdness, this is the best of the harem. No one can compare to you, but only one thing is that you are too ambitious and too self-righteous."

Empress Yin sneered: "It's people who have ambitions. Who is in this palace? If there is no ambition, how can the emperor stand here? Everyone is safe."

The Queen Mother said: "I know you are not convinced. I said that Zhan'er is in your hands. You might as well take a look at the princess you asked him to marry. I really wronged my emperor and grandson! It doesn't matter if you don't understand what I said. , You don’t need to understand. Since I have kept that secret for almost 30 years, how can you give birth to something wrong? I will tell you, as long as I am alive for one day, no one will want to make trouble!" The eyes are sharp and sharp, and the voice is slightly raised, "Come here!"

The two ceremonial female officials who accompanied the empress dowager all the year round silently walked into the hall and stood nearby. The Empress Dowager watched Empress Yin: "When you figure out what I said today, you won’t feel wronged." She said coldly to the female official: "Send her back to Qingquan Palace and give her a glass of wine, Bai Ling Sanchi!"

Qing Chen was shocked suddenly, and even Ye Tianling had not expected such a result, and was surprised for a while.

Empress Yin's face was white, she had said it so many times after listening to her familiar words, but now that it fell into her ears, she knew how it was. She stared at the Empress Dowager, but only saw the pale eyebrows of the Empress Dowager sweeping the coldness, absolutely ruthless, that calm gaze forced her to make her tremble all over, the hairpin in the hair The ring also trembled softly. She slammed the corner of the phoenix clothing belt, the icy silk satin was deep and biting, and the two female officials moved forward without expression.

"Hold on!" Qing Chen stopped speaking, and knelt before the Emperor Dowager, "Emperor Grandmother, Yin Niangniang is not dying!"

The empress dowager smiled slowly, kindly and resolutely: "Qing Chen, kindly and relentlessly, I will leave the future troubles, how can I make the same mistake twice? Look carefully, it is not easy to take charge of this harem. . Some people are innocent but must die."

Qing Chen didn't know this, but he asked again: "Grandma, there is something to do!"

When she persisted, Ye Tianling stepped forward to lift her up and stood there and said quietly: "Grandma, please be kind."

The icy words also pleaded. Qing Chen looked at him in relief, he looked straight ahead, seemingly unaware, but the arm around her waist tightened.

When the Queen Mother waited for Ye Tianling to say this, she stared at him with a smile for a long time, and then a loose sigh came out on her lips, and she waved: "Take her down. From today on, you are not allowed to take a step out of Qingquan Palace. anyone."

The two female officials bowed their heads to respond, and Empress Yin turned back from the shock of life and death, alternated with fear and hatred, and her expression pale and sad. She saw the three people in front of her one by one, waving her sleeves abruptly, and heading out of the hall without looking back.

The Empress Dowager kept watching Empress Yin's proud back disappear, and she shook her body, holding on to several cases, as if all her energy had been exhausted, and she was exhausted instead. Qing Chen and Ye Tianling hurriedly rushed forward, supporting them. Qing Chen looked at the situation of the empress dowager: "Grandma, I will come in with the medicine."

The empress dowager shook her head to stop Qing Chen, and looked at Ye Tianling: "So you know it all."

Ye Tianling said, "Don't dare to hide the emperor's grandmother, grandson does already know it."

The empress dowager coughed slightly and gasped slightly: "Do you hate the emperor grandmother?"

Ye Tianling said: "Why did the emperor's grandmother say this?"

The empress dowager closed her eyes slightly, resting for a while, and seemed to be remembering something: "What she said today is correct. Almost all the men of the Ye clan are trapped in the word'love'. The emperor sent troops to the northwest because of your mother. After your mother entered the palace, she left the country aside. He often stayed away from government for several months, so that the officials were in charge, internal and external chaos, and the people’s livelihoods were difficult. , I had put all my hopes on him, but I didn’t want him to be infatuated with your mother. I was worried that he would repeat the same mistakes and be as confused as Mu Di, and once wanted to give your mother to death, he knelt outside this palace and begged me One day and one night. I was determined to ignore him, but the next day, Concubine Lian also came to beg me. At that time she already had you." She raised her hand and gently patted Ye Tianling's arm, sighing deeply," My grandson, how can I be cruel? I promised to help her keep the child and conceal the truth, but I wanted her to swear not to confuse the emperor, even if I can’t even smile at him, I want her to do it When this child is not hers, leave it to me to raise. She did it in 27 years, and I never broke my promise. Ling Er, the bitter grandmother in your heart knows that if you want to hate the emperor, the emperor will not Blame you."

The doubts that have haunted my heart for a long time are cleared from the words of the Queen Mother. At this time, Ye Tianling's face was full of his mother's face, distant and clear, and the eyes hidden under sorrow had stayed in him secretly how many times, and how many times had he responded with indifference and resentment.

He stood up involuntarily and turned to face the empty and silent hall by himself. Twenty-seven years ago, his mother swore an oath here and exchanged a lifetime of smile for his peace. A sorrowful emotion rushed into his heart. Not only did he fail to understand his mother, he did not protect her. Lone star blinds the sun, this ridiculous prophecy has followed him from the moment he was born, it is not peaceful, it is really worthy of the name of the first person in the sky. He almost laughed out loud, ridiculing his arrogance, the truth is always riddled with holes.

Suddenly, Qing Chen's calm words sounded in his ear: "Emperor Grandmother, how could the fourth brother hate you? If it weren't for your protection, how could we have today? How could the heavens have this situation now? The emperor's grandmother is so worried, so please don't blame us."

Ye Tianling suddenly woke up, turned around and knelt before the emperor mother: "Grandma...Grandson, thank you, grandma!"

The empress dowager refused to let him speak any more, she just stretched out her hand to hold him and looked at Qing Chen with joy: "Okay, I did not read my emperor and grandson wrong, nor did I see you as a girl, it is not in vain that I let the Emperor You pointed it to Ling'er. Girl, when you knelt down with me and said not to marry, were you scared in your heart?"

Qing Chen said in surprise: "The emperor's grandmother..."

The Empress Dowager said: "The emperor's grandmother is not dim-eyed, do you really think that a grandson can make the emperor make such a decision?"

Qing Chen's eyebrows were lightly raised, and he glanced at Ye Tianling hurriedly. He also looked at her, with a faint warmth in his bright black eyes, which was different from the fierce appearance in the rain at that time. She couldn't help but stared at him secretly, and he smiled apologetically, as if he also remembered the time.

Seeing the Empress Dowager squinting her eyes, Qing Chen said in a low voice: "You can't hide anything from the emperor's grandmother."

The empress dowager summoned the female officials outside the hall to fetch the seal, and drafted the next decree and delivered it to Qing Chen: "This is the last thing the emperor grandmother can do for you. You are interceding for her today. This decree is still No, it's all in you."

Although it would be easy for Ye Tianling to execute Empress Yin in the future, it would be more appropriate if it was the empress dowager's decree. Qing Chen slowly collected the edict, and the phoenix eyes were quiet, full of deep thought.

The empress dowager looked at them deeply, and the years were ruthless, and the storms of the storm settled in her eyes. In my life, decades have passed, and I have gone through the changes of four dynasties without realizing it. It was only at this moment that I really felt relaxed. Thinking about the continuity of this generation, how many heroes and confidantes, who do not care about love? Who is not trapped by love? It's just that if you meet the right person, where is not Qinghuan? When I get to the bottom of Jiuquan, I don't know if I can see the people who left her first. She finally lives up to them and can go without worry.
