Empress Dowager Guide

Chapter 74 Distance Produces Beauty

Seeing His Majesty left, the Empress Dowager was silent for a long time, and Cui Yun also silently comforted her little heart.

His Majesty is young and extremely dependent on the Empress Dowager, so it is not surprising that he said what he said just now. What he is afraid of is that after losing his father, he will lose the love of his mother.

Tong Yan Wuji, His Majesty will tell the Queen Mother what he thinks in his heart now, but in the future, if the child has his own ideas, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have an opinion on the Queen Mother.

Childish and innocent, Wei Zhen has already set his mind on His Majesty, trying to drive a wedge between the Empress Dowager and His Majesty's mother-child relationship. Come down, His Majesty is afraid that he will also become suspicious.

Although it is not uncommon to lose a husband and remarry, it is related to government affairs, so it is still necessary to be careful.

"Empress Dowager, Wei Zhen...why didn't he restrain himself in the past few times, and now he is getting more and more rampant, and he even set his mind on His Majesty! Isn't the affairs of his family chaotic enough, and he still insists on embarrassing the Empress Dowager ?!"

Sheng Shaoqing turned his head to look at Cui Yun, thought for a while and asked slowly, "If you were Zhang Qing, and you were frustrated in delivering the beads last time, would you still come today?"

Cui Yun immediately raised her brows upside down, she's not a villain like Zhang Qing!
"Naturally, I will not come again. As a eunuch in charge, it is the right way to do my job well. If the Queen Mother values ​​it, I will serve you. But if the Queen Mother hates it, I should review it, and I will never come in front of the Queen Mother again. annoying."

"But he's here anyway, isn't he?"

"Queen...", Cui Yun didn't understand why she mentioned Wei Zhen but Zhang Qing was mentioned by the queen mother.

"Ajun, what I want to say is that you are different from Zhang Qing, and you can't use your thoughts to judge him. You are also different from Wei Zhen, so naturally you can't use common sense to judge him. He failed a few times ago And Gui, suffered a dark loss again, I am afraid that this account will be counted on my head, he is a veteran of several courts, naturally he does not want to be oppressed by a shallow woman like me."

"You can't deal with me, and now you want to use Che'er, do you really think I'm dead?!" Sheng Shaoqing shook his head, it's really hard to be someone's stepmother.

"Queen Mother, what should I do now?" Cui Yun frowned tightly, and the dark circles under her eyes became more obvious between the frowns.

After being reminded by Forsythia, Sheng Shaoqing finally noticed the dark circles on Cui Yun's eyes, which seemed to be much heavier than when she first arrived.

Sheng Shaoqing smiled and said, "When the sky falls, there will be tall people supporting it, so don't worry."

Cui Yun is still frowning, she thinks she can't do the queen mother's mountain collapse in front of her face without changing her face, if these things are not resolved, she will not be relaxed.

Seeing that Cui Yun's face was still stern, Sheng Shaoqing had to seriously think about this issue.

What should we do with Wei Zhen?

Wei Zhen is not just Wei Zhen, behind him is the old minister who held power in Beiliang when he was outside the customs. If one Wei Zhen is down, thousands of Wei Zhen will stand up.

He doesn't necessarily have to fight Yunzhi to the death, after all, if Yunzhi's decree is effective, what he can earn will only be more, not less.

It's just that because Sheng Shaoqing supported Yunzhi that day, he must sing this pair of dramas to the end.

Since he dared to challenge Yuan Che, he naturally made all preparations. This time, Yuan Che told her, but what about next time?

And where do I find all sorts of weird reasons to slander her in front of Yuan Che?

The more Sheng Shaoqing thought about it, the colder he felt, and the Tang Pozi in his hand couldn't feel the heat.

"Queen Mother, I heard that Master Xiaowei has run away from home for several days and has not heard from him for several days. Do you want us?"

Playing asshole?
Seeing Cui Yun's gloomy and cold face, Sheng Shaoqing couldn't help but shiver, is this going to get rid of Mr. Xiao Wei?
"Do you want to accuse him of dereliction of duty? Or give him a wake-up call."

Sheng Shaoqing breathed a sigh of relief and scared her to death. Seeing Cui Yun's appearance, she thought Cui Yun was going to kill Master Xiaowei.

Sheng Shaoqing shook his head, "Conspiracy is easy, but Yang's scheme is difficult. If you can't kill them with one blow, doing so is tantamount to declaring war on them, and we are not fully prepared, and the situation will be very difficult to deal with. Let me think again."

While Sheng Shaoqing was worrying, Lianqiao, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly ran in, "Queen Mother! Princess Lin Yang's Luanjia is already in the lane! Looks like they are going to the Palace of Eternal Light!"

In the past few days when Princess Lin Yang went to Huangzhuang, some scattered news came back, saying that Princess Lin Yang came down under the power of thunder and dealt with a lot of tyrannical slaves who extorted money, but she had never heard of Lin Yang. The news that the princess is going back to Beijing.

Didn't the princess say that if you don't clean up for a day, you won't return to Beijing for a day?
After thinking about it, the Chinese New Year is only a few days away, and it is normal for Princess Lin Yang to come back at this time.

Not long after, Princess Lin Yang came in hurriedly after getting off the Luanjia, took off the cloak on her body and handed it to Aning who went to meet her, and handed Mrs. Tang to the female history behind her, walked up to Sheng Shaoqing and bent over He bowed down and said, "Empress Dowager, Lin Yang is lucky not to disgrace her life!"

it's over? ? ? ? ?
When Sheng Shaoqing was dumbfounded, Princess Lin Yang raised her hand, and the female historian behind her respectfully held a bunch of brochures and handed them to Princess Lin Yang. Over the years, Lin Yang has dealt with a lot of lowly slaves who had to deal with the details of the accounts, and now the whole Huangzhuang has been cleaned up, and I have to ask my sister-in-law to look at it."

"Huangzhuang now has 450 mu of fertile land, which is directly used for the royal family's expenses, and another [-] mu of mulberry land. Now they have changed managers. Lin Yang also asked them to make up for the ones they were greedy for ink in one month."

"According to the current harvest, the palace can be kept safe for three years."

Sheng Shaoqing could only stare blankly at Princess Lin Yang's resolute style of action.

However, in this way, she no longer has to worry about having no money to support the large group of people in the palace.

"Princess, you have worked hard. The Ai family thought you would come back after the next year. Get up quickly, the ground is cold."

If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have written the guide to chasing men. Wouldn’t it be better to have an interview?

It's only been a few days and I'm back, how can it have the effect of not seeing each other in one day like three autumns!
Princess Lin Yang stood up and sat down with a blushing smile, "Sister-in-law's handbook is really effective. Lin Yang only tried it briefly, and it is very effective. Since sister-in-law is so devoted to Lin Yang, Lin Yang can't disgrace sister-in-law's high hopes!"

Sheng Shaoqing suddenly had a bad feeling, and trembled unconsciously, "You...what have you tried?"

"The queen mother said that the distance between a man and a woman can produce beauty, so I sent Mr. Li to his hometown. You see, as expected, he now writes to me every day to greet me."

Princess Lin Yang smiled coquettishly, "How could he care about me so much in the past, and send a letter of greeting every day."

Sheng Shaoqing thought to himself, are you sure it's a greeting?
"Where is Mr. Li from?"

"Longxi Li family, he came to Beijing a few days ago to seek official status."

Sheng Shaoqing: …………

I'm afraid these two people really want to be yellow, right?

"You... what else did you do?"

Seeing the Queen Mother's pupils shrinking slightly and her body leaning back, Princess Lin Yang also became strange, "I didn't do anything, I sent him back to Longxi with good food and drinks, and he never replied to his letters, absolutely never giving him a chance to make a comeback. "

Flip... what... disk?

"Lin Yang, I would like to thank the Queen Mother for your guidance. I think what you said in the book makes sense. Between a man and a woman, it is true that you cannot simply deal with each other. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. You must not let him take the initiative. You must actively seize the initiative. , When the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy retreats, we harass, when the enemy is tired, we fight. Lin Yang also went to read Sun Tzu's Art of War recently, and it is indeed very beneficial. The next step is to try the method of playing hard to get."

…………

"Then what are you going to do...to play hard to get?"

The more Sheng Shaoqing said, the more difficult it became. Princess Lin Yang's thunderous tactics were not only rectifying Zhuangzi, but also shocked her emotionally.

Princess Lin Yang shook her head, "This Lin Yang hasn't figured it out yet, and now I still ask the Queen Mother to give me some advice."

"Then just listen to my advice and let him go back to the capital first."

What's the matter if you don't agree with someone and send them back to your hometown?

"Didn't you say that distance produces beauty? However, I haven't seen him these days, and I really don't seem to miss him so much."

"Aijia means that distance creates beauty. It keeps you at a distance from him. It doesn't mean that you take him back to his hometown. If you let him go home, it's no wonder he doesn't hate you to death!"

"No way! He obviously writes to me every day these days, asking me how I am, "

"Then can he still tell you to lift the ban?"

Sheng Shaoqing found that Princess Lin Yang was quite sober when she was dealing with other things, but when she encountered this Mr. Li, she started to mess up.

"Is there something between us that we can't say clearly?"

Sheng Shaoqing: ... ... Okay, the love brain is hopeless.

If there is no drama, I can still make up so many dramas in my head.

"Queen Mother, in fact, Lin Yang knows that people outside say that Lin Yang is romantic and sentimental, but only Lin Yang understands that if he can't grow old with Mr. Li, Lin Yang's life will be in vain. What etiquette and rules are nothing but ten thousand shackles. We Qiang people have always admired nature and simplicity, and we can’t learn that set of hypocrisy. I like him, so I have to explain it to him. If he disagrees, then what if I chase after him?!”

Sheng Shaoqing was so angry that he fell on his back, "Your life is only Mr. Li?"

"Sister-in-law of the Empress Dowager, to say something very disrespectful, have you ever felt like crazy after missing you for a day?"

Sheng Shaoqing shook her head, no, how could she have time?

Besides, she didn't think anyone could make her so superior.

Lin Yang sighed deeply, "If the queen mother's sister-in-law has such a person one day, she will definitely understand how Lin Yang feels today."

Sheng Shaoqing also imitated Lin Yang and sighed, "Whether the Ai family has this person is one thing, but you and Mr. Li are another matter. You don't understand the original intention of the booklet that the Ai family gave you."

Princess Lin Yang raised her head in doubt, waiting for Sheng Shaoqing to continue.

"Whether it's between a man and a woman, or whether it's a court battle, it's all a game of power, and it's nothing more than fighting for the strong and the weak."

Before Sheng Shaoqing finished speaking, Princess Lin Yang interrupted Sheng Shaoqing, "Sister-in-law of the Empress Dowager, Lin Yang doesn't think the relationship between a man and a woman is a game..."

Sheng Shaoqing waved his hand to stop Princess Lin Yang's rebuttal, "Listen to Aijia first."

"The Ai family has no objection to your showing kindness to Mr. Li. This emotional matter is unpredictable. Your sincere feelings are naturally sincere, but everything has its own laws to follow, don't you think?"

Princess Lin Yang nodded, and Sheng Shaoqing continued, "He doesn't flatter you because of your status as a princess. He made it clear from the beginning that he is not a flatterer, am I right?"

Princess Lin Yang nodded again, Sheng Shaoqing felt relieved, and continued, "Then you treat such a person the way you used to treat male pets, do you think it will have the same effect?"

"But didn't Lin Yang change his method?"

"You changed the course and changed the method. In fact, nothing has changed. You used your status as a princess to make him submit. Have you ever asked him what he wants?"

"What does he want?" Princess Lin Yang murmured, "Whatever he wants, Lin Yang just give him!"

"You have to know that your identity is stronger than him, but in love, he is stronger than you. Now you want to weaken the gap between identities and try to bridge the gap between feelings, do you understand?"

"Your liking is possession, but love is tolerance."

Princess Lin Yang murmured for a moment, then raised her head to meet Sheng Shaoqing's eyes and said, "Sister-in-law of the Empress Dowager, have I been wrong all along?"

Sheng Shaoqing wanted to nod wildly, but he still shook his head and said, "There is nothing wrong with pursuing the love in your heart, but not everything can be broken by power. The princess has to put down her figure, but she can't be low in the dust. Since you want to do it Husband and wife, then we must be equal."

"Lin Yang understands." Princess Lin Yang clicked for a long time before answering, then she continued after thinking about it, "This time when Lin Yang came out of Beijing, he heard an anecdote, does the Queen Mother want to hear it?"

Sheng Shaoqing's gossip spirit was ignited again, urging Princess Lin Yang to speak quickly.

"When Lin Yang just went to Zhuangzi, the group of slaves had already made complete preparations to deal with Lin Yang. When he didn't know where to start, a village woman suddenly showed the place where these slaves hid their original account books. Lin Yang This is how Yang can accuse those gangsters so quickly."

"Lin Yang was suspicious of the woman's origin at first, so he asked someone to inquire. It doesn't matter if he doesn't inquire, but when he inquired, he was shocked."

Princess Lin Yang deliberately put on a trick, picked up the hot tea at hand, skimmed off the froth on it, took a sip, but didn't speak.

"Then what is her background?"

Sheng Shaoqing followed Princess Lin Yang's thoughts very cooperatively and asked.

Princess Lin Yang was satisfied, and continued to speak leisurely, "This woman is actually the daughter of Prime Minister Ji."

Sheng Shaoqing:? ? ? ? ?

What kind of shocking gossip is this? ? ?
At the beginning, the system told her that Ji Wenxuan had two sons and three daughters. The youngest daughter died young and died not long after Jiji. The governor, one civil and one military, one is in charge of the army, and the other is a relative of the emperor, and Ji Wenxuan's title of the first prime minister in the world is also derived from this.

If she heard correctly, what Princess Lin Yang said just now was a village woman?
Or Ji Wenxuan's daughter?

Seeing the Queen Mother's suspicious expression, Princess Lin Yang was even more satisfied. Finally, there was something the Queen Mother didn't know about.

"Back then, Prime Minister Ji chose husbands for his daughter. One was General Huaihua, and the other was King Qinghe County. Seeing that Ji Wenxuan's son-in-law was both civil and military, he was afraid that Ji Wenxuan would control the government in the future, so he ordered his third daughter not to marry. Prime Minister Ji was also obedient to enter a wealthy family, so he set up an embroidery building to recruit relatives, but he did not expect that this trick would attract a beggar."

This script, why, inexplicably familiar?
