Luo'an, Imperial Palace, Snowflake Inner Hall.

Standing outside the Guangming Hall, the Empress felt both aggrieved and angry. She was as calm as water, gentle and virtuous. From her expression, it was hard to see what was in her heart. It was just that her willow eyebrows were frowned, which was already very rare. If it wasn't for the things she saw, she would be a little annoyed in her heart, and her beautiful willow eyebrows would seldom frown.

She was wronged, with a little anger, but more worry.

She has followed the emperor for more than 20 years, and the emperor has always cared for her. When everyone is angry, when the emperor does not want to see anyone, the queen is always by his side.

But now, it has become difficult for the queen to meet the emperor.

Although the queen never maliciously slandered others, in her heart, she still couldn't help seeing that Empress Snow Flower as a vixen. The emperor practiced Taoism and was already very indifferent to the government. Summon important ministers to discuss matters in the palace, and the ministers still have the opportunity to meet the emperor.

But ever since the fox spirit of Empress Xuehua came, the emperor seemed to have forgotten that he was the king of a country. At least in the eyes of many people, the emperor began to ignore the government affairs, and even rarely went out of the Guangming Palace. In the inner hall.

Although the queen was worried that the emperor would harm the country by ignoring the government, she never interfered in the government and never mentioned state affairs in front of the emperor. She came to the Guangming Palace today because she was really worried about the emperor's health. The emperor is old, don't say He is already old now, even in the prime of life, he can't stand being so indulged in singing and dancing day and night.

The queen never imagined that the heroic master with great aspirations to rule the world would become more and more absurd and stupid with the passage of time.

Could it be that his wisdom and wisdom were exhausted early, and while his skin was aging, his wisdom also gradually withered?

The queen knew that the Snow Flower Lady was a beauty presented by Feng Yuanpo, the governor of Hexi Road. People tripod.

Empress Snow Flower is naturally charming, although her body is exquisite, but she is from a barbarian family, her physique is excellent, she is enchanting and coquettish, and she is proficient in the art of pleasure in bed. The body can also stay healthy.

A tall barbarian eunuch walked over slowly, the queen frowned and asked, "Will the Holy Majesty let me in?"

"I'm sorry, Empress, the Holy Majesty has said that no one will be seen today." Huan Yelixin knew that the lady in front of him was the empress. Fighting and giving him a hard lesson, it weakened his arrogance a lot, knowing that in the palace, even with the support of Empress Snow Flower, there are still powerful figures who dare to attack him.

The queen's willow eyebrows were furrowed even tighter, and Shui Lian, who was beside the queen, couldn't help but said, "Grandpa Yelisin, can you make it clear to the Holy Majesty that it is the queen who is asking to see you?"

Shui Lian was not satisfied with the few barbarians.

He was the closest person to the emperor, and had a very high status in the palace. Not to mention the maids and eunuchs in the palace, even the concubines in the harem would give this Eunuch Shui some face.

But since the arrival of Empress Xuehua, he can only serve in the Guangming Palace, and he is not qualified to enter the inner palace of Xuehua. If he wants to report to see the Holy Majesty, he needs two Huren eunuchs to report. His once popular father-in-law , now it is difficult to see the emperor. In the eyes of many palace people, if they fall out of favor, the people in the palace will not show much respect when they see Shui Lian again.

Shui Lian knew that if he wanted to pull the emperor's mind away from Empress Snow Flower, only the queen could do it now. Only by pulling the emperor out of Empress Snow Flower would the Hu eunuch's status in the palace decline, and he Eunuch Shui will be able to restore his former glory.

For the maids and eunuchs in the Queen's Palace, Shui Lian naturally had to send her confidant eunuchs to approach, seemingly inadvertently revealing the arrogance of the barbarian eunuchs and Empress Xuehua's desires to the people in the Queen's Palace. Knowing that, it inevitably flowed into the Queen's ears.

The queen finally came, but the emperor didn't see her, so Shui Lian became a little anxious, but Yelicin didn't have a good look at Shui Lian, rolled his eyes strangely, and said in a half-baked Central Plains dialect: "Of course the miscellaneous family made it clear, the Holy Majesty said No one will be seen anymore, the miscellaneous family is conveying according to the meaning of the Holy Majesty...!" He didn't say much, just bent down to the queen, turned around and was about to return to the hall.

The queen was stunned for a while, and for some reason, she felt a little sad in her heart. She was feeling lonely and was about to leave when she saw an official leading a few people towards this side. The queen took a look and recognized that it was Lin Yuanfang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials. , this is the emperor's most trusted courtier, but the empress does not have a good impression of this person.

Behind Lin Yuanfang were four attendants. The four of them carried a large wooden box on two poles. The wooden box was made of high-quality wood and painted with gold lacquer on the outside. The golden light was dazzling, and it looked very expensive.

Seeing the queen, Lin Yuanfang trotted over and knelt down on the ground, "Chen Lin Yuanfang sees the queen, queen Wanan!"

The queen squeezed out a smile, "Shangshu Lin, let's get back down." She couldn't help asking, "What did Shangshu Lin send?"

"Reporting to the Queen, this is not a gift from my minister." Lin Yuanfang immediately said: "This is a gift from a loyal waiter who came all the way from Hexi Road, and this minister is about to present it to the Holy One."

When the queen heard this, she immediately lost interest.

Of course the empress knew what kind of person Jingzhonghou Feng Yuanpo was. Lin Yuanfang showed his flattery on the outside, and everyone could see his flattery, but Feng Yuanpo was different.

Feng Yuanpo was born as a butcher, at first glance he looked simple and honest, but the queen knew very well that compared with Lin Yuanfang, Feng Yuanpo's flattery skills were superb. At least the emperor had always liked this loyal servant and praised Feng Yuanpo many times. Yuan Po was loyal, a rare loyal and capable courtier.

The queen didn't feel much about Feng Yuanpo in the past, she accepts all rivers and rivers, the emperor wants to rule the world, and everyone can use it, but after Feng Yuanpo presented Snow Flower Empress last time, the queen was a little dissatisfied with Feng Yuanpo, and today she saw Feng Yuanpo Another item was delivered, and she felt even more uncomfortable. She didn't have the heart to ask more questions, but she just glanced at the big wooden box with lacquered gold wire, then turned and left.

Seeing the queen leave, Lin Yuanfang stood up, looked at the queen's back, straightened her official robes, turned her head, and saw Yelicin, who was about to enter the palace, come out again.

Lin Yuanfang's already cold expression was replaced with an amiable smile. Yelisin seemed to have a good impression of this Lin Shangshu, and a smile rarely appeared on that dead man's face, "Isn't this Lin Shangshu?"

Lin Yuanfang had already cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Grandpa Ye, you have worked hard day and night, it's really hard work." Without looking at the ripples in the water, he went forward and took an ingot of gold and put it in Yelicin's hand as if no one else was there. It’s too much, you have to pay attention to your body, don’t you know how convenient it is now?”

Shui Lian watched coldly from the sidelines, feeling very dissatisfied, thinking to himself that Lin Yuanfang was indeed alive with a mask on, and when the Snow Flower Empress did not enter the palace before, this Lin Yuanfang was always polite when she saw her, and it was inevitable every now and then I would stuff something to show it, but now I don't even look at it.

Thinking of this, Shui Lian couldn't help but say Chu Huan. When it comes to being human, Shui Lian really felt that Chu Huan was affectionate and righteous. Even if he knew that he was losing power, he was polite to him and not hypocritical.

Yelisin put away the gold calmly, and said with a smile: "The Holy Majesty just met Xuanzhen Daozong, and now he is really resting, but the miscellaneous family is now going to report to Lin Shangshu."

"You have to work, you have to work!" Lin Yuanfang smiled, "The father-in-law told the holy majesty that Feng Yuanpo, the loyal waiter, has a gift to present, and the subordinate officials sent it to the palace to invite the holy majesty to watch!"

"Is it a gift from Jing Zhonghou?" Yelisin said immediately, "The miscellaneous family will report it now."

Yelisin went in to report, and Lin Yuanfang asked his followers to put down the wooden box first, put their hands behind their backs, and wait outside the hall. His eyes swept over the water ripples standing outside the hall, as if he hadn't seen them, and he went along with the trend.

After a while, Yelisin came out and said, "Shangshu Lin, your followers are not allowed to enter the temple...!" He waved to several warriors in front of the temple, "You guys carry the wooden box in." Smiling to Lin Yuanfang: "Shangshu Lin, the Holy Majesty is waiting for you inside, please follow the miscellaneous family!"

Yelisin led the way, Lin Yuanfang followed behind, and the four warriors in front of the hall carried wooden boxes and followed straight into the inner hall of Xuehua.

Lin Yuanfang was brought to the side of a big bed in the inner hall. The big bed was surrounded by golden curtains, which had been hung down, so that no movement could be seen inside. Lin Yuanfang signaled the warriors in front of the hall to put the wooden box in the middle of the inner hall. Next, I knelt by the bed and said respectfully: "My humble minister Lin Yuanfang, I pay my respects to the Holy Majesty, may my emperor live long and live forever, and greet Empress Xuehua, may my empress live a thousand years and a thousand years!"

He had already heard a little movement inside the golden curtain, and the faint voice of chuckling, knowing that the emperor and Empress Xuehua should be in it. The exception is that Xuanzhen Daozong has to participate in Zen meditation with the emperor every day. Although there are more Empress Xuehua now, it will not affect the emperor's favor and trust in Xuanzhen Daozong. , although it will not be as frequent as Xuanzhen Daozong, but as long as he enters the palace to ask for an audience, the emperor will usually meet him.

Soon the emperor's lazy voice came from inside: "It's Lin Aiqing? I heard that you came here as a gift. What kind of gift is it?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it's not a gift from my minister, but someone sent by Jingzhonghou from Hexi Road." Lin Yuanfang pouted his buttocks and put his head on the ground, "My minister respectfully invites you to take a look!"
