Step on a branch

Chapter 129

In the imperial study room, the emperor naturally thought differently from Deng Guoshi.

One move, of course, the more moves the better.

He asked Deng Guoshi to investigate the relationship between Lin Fan and the Yongning Houfu, but there has not been much progress so far.

Based on what we have so far, we can only look at the surface, and for the time being, we can't see how much contact Lin Fan has with that girl from the Qin family, but what about in private?
Using Qin Luan to get in and out of the harem is another move.

Thinking of this, the emperor got up and said, "I'm going to talk to the queen mother for a while."

Eunuch Xu hurriedly followed.

In the morning of the next day, Qin Luan went into the palace.

Outside the palace, Nanny Zhong was waiting for her.

After Nanny Zhong entered, Qin Luan and the queen saluted.

She met Empress Cheng on the day of His Royal Highness's death, and seeing her again now, she felt that Empress Empress was much older.

Those eyes were still bright and energetic, as if holding a breath.

"Borrow my mother's place and change into clothes." Qin Luan said.

The queen was taken aback.

Qin Luan was wearing a plain jacket and skirt, and a cloak. His hair was simply combed, but it looked good.

There is nothing wrong with walking in the palace in this attire.

Even Empress Cheng has no sense of disobedience

After hearing what Qin Luan said, she finally understood.

Qin Luan needs Taoist robes to do things.

Grandma Zhong heard Qin Luan's reasons before, and hurriedly told the queen by ear.

Empress Cheng sneered, "He's quite lenient."

"Your Majesty, my practice is shallow. If you want to pray for His Majesty, you should invite a more powerful immortal leader." Qin Luan looked at her and asked, "Why did you invite me?"

After receiving the Queen's post, Qin Luan was very puzzled, but she did not refuse.

If Lin Fan wanted to act, he couldn't lack troops, food, money, and other assistance, of course, the more the better.

It's not about how many nobles to win over, but that they are the best support if they don't turn to the emperor and empress dowager.

Empress Cheng was not favored by the emperor and the empress dowager, and even complained to the emperor because of the illness of His Royal Highness, Qin Luan wanted to hear how the empress thought of the emperor.

That's why she didn't refuse to do something.

Empress Cheng laughed when she heard her question: "My son is dead, why can't we sing against him?

He favored the demon Taoist surnamed Deng and asked him to preside over my son's funeral. I couldn't resist, so I made another arrangement.

Not only Miss Qin, but I also want to invite several other famous elders in Gyeonggi.

Do things one by one. "

Qin Luan blinked.

Empress Cheng smiled again when she said this, the taste of self-mockery was gone, and the rest was indifferent: "Miss Qin doesn't have to worry about how well she practiced or how well the ritual is done, she just came to chat with me for a while.

You gave me the medicine to say goodbye to Yuan'er. I will remember this kindness for the rest of my life.

You don't have to worry about the emperor, besides, I don't think Miss Qin is a timid person. "

Qin Luan also laughed.

She is really not afraid of things.

I just don't know if Empress Cheng will be afraid of what she wants to do.

After finishing the ceremony today, Qin Luan followed what Empress Cheng said and talked with her.

"The last time Nanny Zhong came to the mansion, my grandmother still recognized her," Qin Luan said, "It seems that grandma and Nanny Zhong knew each other during the previous dynasty."

"That's right, I was very young at that time," Empress Cheng sighed, "The late Emperor was stationed in Jiangling. I have been there a few times and saw the eldest princess leading the girls to practice. Yes, your mother was among them, right?"

"It should be," Qin Luan said softly, "My mother left early, and I listened to her affairs here and there. Could the empress talk to me carefully?"

The queen did not refuse.

She talked about Guiwei and Jiangling City. Slowly, the topic dissipated, and naturally, Zhao Li, who was also young at that time, was mentioned.

"I can only say that even if it is the same father, the mother is different, and the children are very different," Queen Cheng sipped her tea, "Your Majesty, he is far behind his elder brother. Now the second and third highnesses, Compared with my son, it is also heaven and earth."

Qin Luan did not answer this question.

It is true that she deliberately led Empress Cheng to talk about old things. The Empress may not have paid attention to her words, or she may not care about mentioning the old man at all. She really said a lot.

Qin Luan felt a little embarrassed by the cooperation.

It's almost time, Qin Luan took out a few peace talismans: "Be calm and calm, I see the complexion of the empress, I'm afraid it's not good to rest recently, keep this talisman paper, it will have some effect."

Not letting Grandma Zhong change hands, Empress Cheng took it with her own hands and thanked her.

Nanny Zhong sent Qin Luan out of the main hall, turned around and returned to the inner hall, and saw the empress looking at the talisman in a daze.

"Your Majesty," Nanny Zhong stepped forward, "You talked a lot today."

"It's not like me, is it?" Empress Cheng shook her head lightly, "Now, I hope that she will really be a phoenix."

Nanny Zhong was puzzled.

"I heard that she was pregnant when she disappeared," Queen Cheng said. "If she is a real phoenix, she can really find a real dragon and help him. I think it will be more enjoyable."

Nanny Zhong's heart was pounding, "Be careful what you say."

"Yuan'er tried to persuade Yuan'er before she died, but the emperor didn't listen to it. It's not a great week's luck to go on like this," Queen Cheng bit her lips, and said, "Of course I think so, because Yuan'er is not worth it. As a mother, I feel extremely heartbroken. , but I'm not just for Yuan'er."

Mother Zhong didn't understand Queen Cheng's thoughts.

The Cheng family, which has been handed down for centuries, has its own pride and ideas.

At that time, the Cheng family chose the first emperor in the troubled times, because the first emperor's bravery could end the years of war and let the people settle down again, and the first emperor was not a militaristic person. After he ascended the throne, he knew how to balance the war and internal affairs. Go on, and you will have a prosperous and peaceful world.

For this reason, the Cheng family gave the late emperor a lot of help, and perhaps married their sons and daughters.

Sure enough, the first emperor managed to open the dynasty, and gradually made Dazhou better.

What the Cheng family didn't expect was the early death of the late emperor and the death of the crown prince who fell off his horse.

Zhao Li succeeded to the throne, and Cheng's daughter became the queen.

This court does not prohibit foreign relatives from becoming officials, but the Cheng family restrains themselves and is unwilling to give advice as foreign relatives. If children do not enter the dynasty, they must either become small officials, or devote themselves to studying, or become teachers and carry forward the academy.

The Cheng family's inheritance for so many years is of course inseparable from this prudence and self-denial.

But in Empress Cheng's view, many capable children in the family were delayed.

They should really go to court and do things that benefit the people.

When choosing to marry Zhao Li instead of marrying his older sister to Zhao Lin, the late emperor and the Cheng family actually had this in mind.

The Cheng family wanted to show their talents, and the late emperor also needed capable people.

If more insightful people can play a role, the world will definitely be like what the Cheng family wants and Yuan'er hopes.

That requires an emperor who doesn't favor treacherous people.

It also requires that the Cheng family is no longer a relative.

Need a phoenix to find the real dragon.
