The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 179 She Has Changed!
Zhao Hua and Yang Xuan's flesh and blood, that is her last trump card, she can't let the news leak out because of this trivial matter.

"The empress dowager taught me," the long-faced woman put down her jade comb after combing her hair, and said with a frown, "that He Yuqi, this old servant...is unreliable."

"What's the matter?" The little maids set the meal, Empress Dowager Liu stood up, walked to the round table and started to eat breakfast.

"He Yuqi is simple-minded, so she was a good candidate, but... firstly, she is not favored, and she can't even see the face of the regent, and secondly, she loves children all day long, and only knows how to please the regent... "Nurse Rong also walked to the table and helped Empress Dowager Liu serve dishes, "I am afraid that in the future, she will not stand by our side."

"Hmph," Empress Dowager Liu put down the spoon, snorted and laughed, "Nurse Rong, you don't understand now. The most venomous thing in the world is not the enemy, but... the person who can't be loved, how much He Yuqi loves right now Shen, in the future...she will be hated so much. We only need to add a little fire, and she will become the blade we put beside Yang Xuan."

The two of them were having breakfast and talking when they saw a small yellow door stepping in and said, "Report to the Queen Mother, the eldest princess has arrived."

"Please." Empress Dowager Liu glanced at Nanny Rong, and immediately put on a gentle and kind smile.

"Zhaohua has met her mother." Zhao Shuang was wearing a goose yellow brocade sleeve today, her face was delicately made up, but the brows were a little tougher, and the rouge on her cheeks was not as bright as before, but faintly glowing Cold light.

"Zhaohua, you finally came back safely," Empress Dowager Liu wiped her tears gently, then pointed to a round stool beside the round table, motioned her to sit down, and asked kindly, "I heard that you gave birth to Lin'er in western Yunnan. The heavens are merciful, the queen mother's prayers every day and night are finally answered..."

"Mother," Zhao Shuang sat down on the round stool, then looked up at the long-faced woman standing beside her, and interrupted Empress Dowager Liu's chatter, "Have you heard about the palace?"

"I heard! Rong Rong told the queen mother." Empress Dowager Liu wiped away her tears and forced out an embarrassed smile, "letting Rong Rong go to the palace to serve He Yuqi, the mother's original intention was that she was young and ignorant. Mammy went to add more points, unexpectedly... She was so shameless that she transported all the food stored in the palace back to her mother's house! Zhaohua, look, there are only these simple meals in Weiyang Palace now, and the queen mother never thought that He Da and his wife would dare Fill your pockets."

Empress Dowager Liu pointed at the porridge and pickles on the small round table with a look of grievance.

"Since the queen mother knows that He Shangshu is full of private pockets, why does she keep him?" Zhao Shuang picked up the porridge on the table and tried it with a spoon, and it turned out that the soup was clear and watery.

Although Shangjing is said to be in short supply of supplies, the only rightful masters in Weiyang Palace are the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and their diet is indispensable.

She set up this table of porridge and pickles today, obviously to show herself, to pretend to be pitiful.

"He Dahe... After all, he has been working in the Ministry of Household Affairs for so many years, and now it's time to employ people in the capital." Empress Dowager Liu didn't expect Zhao Shuang to speak so directly, so she could only smile shyly, "It's better to have one thing less than one more thing... .”

"Since the queen mother doesn't want to be the bad guy, and the prince is not in the capital," Zhao Shuang pointed at the porridge and pickles on the table, and said seriously, "Why don't I let this palace be the bad guy. I can't let a moth like He Da bully me." My younger brother and mother. He Da, as the Minister of the Household Department, is in charge of the treasury, and let my mother eat such simple food..."

"Shuang... Shuang'er," Empress Dowager Liu asked with her heart pounding when she saw her righteous and dignified appearance, and covered her heart in a low voice, "You...what are you going to do?"

"Naturally, He Da was exempted from the post of Secretary of the Household Department. In view of his age, he is allowed to resign on his own initiative." Zhao Shuang picked up the tea served by the little maid disapprovingly. The first princess, has the responsibility of assisting the younger brother."

Empress Dowager Liu was secretly surprised when she heard this.

This eldest princess is very powerful. Last year, the regent wanted to attack He Da because he was old and his behavior was clean. Let him go for now. As soon as the eldest princess came back... He Da was mercilessly withdrawn. The post of minister?
What did she say about assisting her younger brother? Could it be that she wanted to meddle in government affairs like herself?
Empress Dowager Liu felt that this matter was getting more and more difficult, but she was always tactful, and she didn't dare to directly quarrel with Zhao Shuang because of He Da.

"This matter... still needs to be discussed by the cabinet before making a decision," Empress Dowager Liu thought for a moment, noncommittal, and then glanced at Zhao Shuang, "Shuang'er, you just came back, why rush?"

"First suspend He Da's position as minister, and then submit it to the cabinet for review," Zhao Shuang had already thought up a countermeasure, and pulled out a memorial from his sleeve, "This is Mr. Hu from the cabinet, who recommended Dongfang You from the Ministry of Finance I just went to meet the emperor just now for the minister's memorial to the Minister of the Household Department, and the emperor...has already approved it."

"This..." Empress Dowager Liu clenched her palms in shock, and a chill ran down her back, "Your Majesty, he..."

Zhaohua actually skipped him, went directly to the cabinet, and even went to the emperor!
So does the emperor, why did he decide on such a big matter without asking himself?What a brat who eats inside and out!

"Queen, the emperor is 12 years old now, he should have his own opinion," Zhao Shuang put the memorial on the table, and said in a low voice, "Why don't you worry about it?"

"Yes, Empress Dowager... don't worry." Empress Dowager Liu wiped the sweat from her forehead, her heart was beating a small drum, and she changed the subject and asked, "Shuang'er, do you have any news about the regent?"

"No." Zhao Shuang frowned, and looked at the woman with narrow eyes, "Mother, I heard that... you handed over the Xuanwu Camp, the direct descendant of the emperor's brother, to Marquis Yongchang of Xunyang City. I don't know why? "

Empress Dowager Liu felt even more guilty, feeling that Zhaohua came to Xingshi today to inquire about her crimes. The eldest princess had no interest in state affairs before, so why did she become so discerning when she went to the west of Yunnan?I really underestimated her before!
"Why should Shuang'er take such a small matter to heart?" After calming down, Empress Dowager Liu narrowed her eyes and squeezed out a wry smile. Nothing to do. This palace is thinking... Xunyang City is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and it will be handed over to Marquis Yongchang to help him train soldiers."

"Oh? Soldiers? Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a while, and now the capital is besieged," Zhao Shuang stared at her, and asked in a deep voice, "Where is the Xuanwu Camp of Marquis Yongchang?"

"My palace has already been summoned by Marquis Yongchang a month ago. Jiangnan is far away, maybe... maybe the road was delayed..." Empress Dowager Liu felt guilty after being asked, and wiped the sweat from her forehead again.

"Mother," Zhao Shuang stood up, took two steps around the round table, turned her head, and said to the middle-aged woman, "Although you are not my biological queen, I have a few words to tell you."

Empress Dowager Liu was quite shocked when she saw her majesty, and she didn't dare to say "no", so she could only say in a trembling voice, "Grand...princess, please speak."
