Red Mansion Wind

Chapter 24 is rarely confused.

Zhou Xu went back home after chatting with the boss Feng Yuemei at Baixiangzhai for more than half an hour. This time, he didn't care about anything else, he had to do a big job first.

"Master, do you really believe that fool's words?"

In front of the dressing table, Tu Si'er changed the makeup of Feng Yuemei, the master of Baixiangzhai. She painted her eyebrows softly and peacefully, lowered her lips, applied makeup, and raised her bun. In the blink of an eye, a girl became a bright and charming woman. I have to say that this girl's technique is like a god, and Feng Yuemei seems to be a different person.

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it or not, it's hard for him to find me after today, so I'll just ask Kui Niang to deal with him."

Fengyue Meiyu stretched out her hands and put on all kinds of precious jewelry one by one. She was about to get up when Cusi'er behind her reminded:
"Master Ji, your eyebrows~"

The maid Dodder pointed to the mirror. The beauty in the glass mirror looked like a fairy in a painting with a frown and a smile, but there was a bit of coldness and ruthlessness in the cut water of her eyes. I didn't see how she moved. With tenderness like water, he slowly got up and went to the next door.

"Baozhu, Ruizhu, wake up~"

"Ah, Grandma Rong, why did we fall asleep again?"

"It's not you, I said drink less, you just want to be greedy, hurry back and miss the time, the master should say it again"

The two maids rubbed their eyes, apologized again and again, and complained to each other a few words, only blaming the vegetarian wine from Baixiangzhai for being too intoxicating, so they can't drink it next time, the three of them took a carriage from Baixiangzhai to the east went.

The sky is about to pass the noon, and it is time to disperse the court, so I can go back and ask the old man if the matter is done.

The woman in the car closed her eyes.

The ministers in the palace dispersed one after another, only Zhou Suyuan was notified by the little eunuch, and waited at the palace gate. It turned out that his wife entered the palace today, so he waited for her to go back together.

Inside the Royal Garden.

"My concubine has met His Majesty, and I am blessed and safe."

"Hehe, get up, girl Jun hasn't entered the palace to see the old concubine for a long time, but it's not easy for her to leave the palace?"

When the emperor came down from court, he finished his lunch and asked the eunuch and empress if the concubine had eaten before. Dai Quan replied that today was a coincidence, Duke Rong ordered, Princess Fu, and Xuanwei ordered the mother and daughter to arrive at the palace. It's busy to visit the concubine from here.

So the emperor also came to have a look.

Emperor Daqian walked up to the queen and sat down. Only then did Zhou Mu, Zhou Jun, stand up and reply,
"Returning to Your Majesty, how can my little girl come to disturb the Concubine so often? Today I received some gifts, and I just entered the palace to send the Concubine to her old man."

Mother Zhou replied respectfully. How could she have expected that the emperor would come? She was just saying goodbye to the concubine and was about to go back. Let's go back now, Concubine, you old man, pay more attention to your bones."

"Okay, okay, the time is not short, take Jun girl back earlier, remember to take Maohou to see the old lady next time."

Empress Dowager Zhou nodded with a smile on her face. The hairy monkey she was talking about was Zhou Xu, and she hadn't seen this grandnephew for more than a year. A few days ago, I heard that he got sick from a fight with someone, so don't worry. She also wanted to send someone to ask.

As a result, they all came, Mrs. Jia, who was a little embarrassed to meet Zhou's mother, only talked for a while before leaving with Princess Fu.

"Zitong, don't you say Rong Guo's order is here?"

Seeing the Zhou family going away, the emperor asked the queen who was beside him. Empress Yang Nai was the niece of Zhen Guogong. She knew the emperor when she was young. The emperor doesn't have many concubines now, and it's also related to his childhood experience. He is afraid that if there are too many sons, something will happen.

"Mrs. Jia only sat with Princess Fu for a while and then left. Why did His Majesty ask him?"

The empress tried the temperature of the tea for the emperor, and when she saw that it was hot and cold, she handed the teacup to the emperor. The latter took a sip and put it down, with a dissatisfied tone: "Let her, the elder of Jia's family, discipline those incompetent ones well. Putting these aside, why did the Xuanwei family think of giving the concubine a gift today?"

"Not yet"

"It's nothing, Yuan'er came back from the south of the Yangtze River and brought some silk and satin for the old man to see the old lady."

The old concubine interrupted the empress with a wave of her hand with a smile, and the empress stopped talking. The concubine obviously didn't want to pursue the matter, so she didn't care. The emperor smiled and said: "This Su Yuan is very filial, always I also think about you, old man, and compare me to everyone~ haha."

After talking and joking for a few words, the emperor suddenly sighed and said, "Queen, if you write a letter home to persuade Lord Zhen, he has resigned today, but now I really don't know which general will take his place. , it's really a headache."

After listening to the emperor's words, Empress Yang didn't know what to say. Indeed, in today's army, no one can compare with his uncle. It's a pity that the Yang family now has more scholars and fewer warriors. I guess my uncle wanted to step down earlier so that he could teach his son a lesson, otherwise the dignified Yang family would have no successors.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for lying, but instead of forcing my uncle to suffer in the court, let him go back, as long as he is not allowed to leave the capital. In this way, even if there are not enough successors, uncle can watch over him. It is true that I am too old to work hard, and I would like to ask His Majesty to transfer my nephew to Beijing to take care of my uncle, but I don't know what to do with Your Majesty?"

The general's tiger girl spoke directly, and the emperor thought for a while that he could only do so, so who should he choose as the successor to the Privy Council?

"Old concubine, how many times have you refused to let me transfer Su Yuan to the capital, this time he has contributed a lot, you can't say it?"

The imperial concubine waved her hand and said: "Emperor, I didn't say anything, but the emperor's affection is too heavy to be a way of preservation. Since Yuan'er is useful, the emperor just let him do it, but the old man knows that he needs to use it." A person must never let him be stared at by others, because he can't do anything like that."

The old concubine still had selfish intentions in her words. She neither wanted to prevent Zhou Suyuan from being reused, nor did she want him to be used by the emperor as a knife point. Nowadays, those powerful families still look at her face as the old concubine, but she is a rare one since ancient times. In the middle of the year, there are still a few more years to live. Being in a high position is the easiest way to offend those people. The foundation of the Zhou family is still too weak.

She thought that it would be best for the Zhou family to keep a low profile for two or three generations, with a neither high nor low position, so that they could gain a foothold in the Dagan family.

"Hey, I'm so confused. I still need to talk about this court affairs in a dark way. You must understand, the emperor."

"Haha, it's rare to be confused. Your old man has a lot of samadhi!"

The emperor laughed, but the empress was also silent. No wonder the old concubine was able to protect the three princes and continue the blood of the late emperor. She was not confused at all, she was shrewd.

The next day, the emperor decreed.

"King Lingfu is the envoy of the Privy Council, Zhou Suyuan is the envoy of the Privy Council, and Wang Ziteng is the envoy of the Beijing Camp!"
