Stepmother Shaoguang

The queen lowered her eyes and listened to the saint's beating, and her expression turned mocking.

She said: "The saint has been talking for so long, are you tired? I will wipe your body for you."

She slowly wiped the saint's long-sick body. How long had it been since they had done such an intimate action?

The queen couldn't remember clearly, and there was a sense of unfamiliarity in her movements.

The saint left her alone and cherished this last peaceful moment.

After she retracted her hand, she smiled solemnly: "I am no more attentive than the Jade Concubine. The saint likes me, but it is a pity that I took the wrong path at the beginning."

She made a double entendre, mocking herself for being demure and useless and not being liked by the saint, and also mocking the saint: Look, your favorite concubine Shu and the fifth prince, don't you want to rebel?
Before the saint could get angry, she suddenly burst into tears again: "I am a concubine who deserves to die. I should not have these thoughts to win over the ministers. I forced Chun'er to do all this. He has always been filial to you. You If you want to punish me, I will punish you, please spare Chun'er!"

She knelt on the ground, completely losing her former dignity, trying to reach out and touch the saint's feet, begging him to spare her child's life.

The saint shook his head slowly: "When he was supervising the country a few days ago, he demoted several officials who usually did not support him without telling me. Is this what you meant by forcing him?"

The queen buried her face in her hands and said painfully: "I am my concubine."

The night is as cool as water, and the stone steps are long.

The queen walked out of the Xuanzheng Hall almost exhausted. The sad look on her face had disappeared. Huining, who had been waiting outside, finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her coming out.

The King of Qi was first exempted from the responsibility of supervising the country, and he was depressed and drunk in the palace. After drinking, he accidentally beat Yin Xuan. Now Yin Xuan is determined to make peace, and he is very worried.

He also heard that his mother was summoned and reprimanded by his father, and he thought it was because of him. He hurried to the palace and knelt at the entrance of Xuanzheng Hall for an hour before waiting for the queen to come out.

The Queen smelled the smell of alcohol on his body and frowned as usual: "Are you going to face the Holy Spirit like this?"

King Qi hurriedly defended himself: "Mother, my sons and ministers are worried about you."

He was interrupted by the Queen: "It's so late, you should go back to your mansion."

After that, with Huining's help, she slowly climbed onto Fenghu.

Huining told her about the farce in Prince Qi's Mansion. She originally thought that the empress would send Mrs. Yin to the palace as usual and give her a beating. Unexpectedly, the empress said calmly: "Since they can't get along, then let her do what she wants." Bar."

Huining was startled and looked at her.

Through the night, the queen looked very tired sitting in the phoenix.

She had cried and begged in the Xuanzheng Hall just now. For three hours, she was already exhausted.

In the end, the saint made her understand the courtier's attitude and knew that he would never give their mother and son another chance.

Once the human life in her hands and the wrong thing done by King Qi are exposed to the world, I am afraid that the public will only become more angry.

After years of friendship, the saint finally saved Queen Qi's peace of mind for the rest of her life. He promised her that he would choose a wealthy and wealthy place and act as an idle prince without holding real power.

Are you unwilling?Of course there is.

She was just one move away from him. I was afraid that after the new emperor ascended the throne, the presence of her as his legitimate mother would make the new emperor fear King Qi even more.

Those censors who were found wrong by the King of Qi were not unjust. Now there is a vacant position on the censorship platform, and no suitable candidate can be thought of to fill it.

The saint remembered He Jingsong who had been demoted by him to be a editor in the Hanlin Academy.

This man is extremely talented, but has a really bad temper.

He was young and vigorous at that time, and he was pointed at the nose and scolded every day. How could he bear it?
Now his experiences over the years have made him feel that such people are valuable.So he issued an order to restore his official position as censor Zhongcheng and summoned him to the palace to express his gratitude.

Seeing the saint again, He Jingsong felt uneasy, packed himself up, and stepped into the Xuanzheng Hall solemnly.

The sage had an end game before him and was waiting for him with a white piece in his hand.

"Here you come? Play a game of chess with me first to see if He Qing's chess style has become calmer over the years."

The Saint was in good form today, winning two out of three games in total.

He laughed and scolded He Jingsong: "You, an old man, have learned how to flatter others? I know your level, so don't pretend."

He Jingsong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "No, no, no, my level is like this. It is because the saint has improved over the years. I am no longer your opponent."

The saint calmed down, threw the chess piece back into the bowl, and said seriously: "I called you here just to see if He Qing's temper is still as good as before."

He obviously wanted to give something, but He Jingsong just listened quietly.

"When we meet today, He Qing has finally become tactful." He said in a gentle tone without any intention of blaming anyone. "As a minister, loyalty is the best. I am optimistic about your character. In the future, you can participate in politics without offending others, but you can't pretend to be deaf or dumb. .”

It's time for him to find someone who can assist the new emperor.

"On the contrary, I remember all your children. I haven't given He Changfeng a serious official position yet. In your opinion, where does your son fit in?"

"I'm scared..." He Jingsong quickly refused, "The dog is just a little smart, not a great talent. The saint doesn't mind it, just arrange some errands casually."

"I look at him just like you did when you were young, but he has more eyes than you. Why don't we start from Zhongshushe."

The saint had already considered this in his heart.

He Jingsong was surprised for a while. Although Zhongshushe was only a member of the fifth rank, he served the king by his side and was in charge of edicts, attendants, announcements, condolences, etc. He was undoubtedly a popular person in front of the saints.

He thanked the saint for He Changfeng: "Thank you saint for your appreciation. I will urge Quanzi to fulfill his duties faithfully."

After he withdrew, the saint summoned Yin Xuan's father.

While he was ill, he heard that Yin Xuan was unbearably humiliated, and he guessed that these rumors in the capital were also written by this girl.

Yin's father looked frightened, thinking that the saint wanted to blame him for not being able to teach his daughter well, so he accused him repeatedly and said that he would ask his wife to reprimand Yin Xuan when he returned.

Unexpectedly, the saint just said in a calm tone: "The two young people can't get along with each other. It is not the fault of the princess alone. The fault of the third child is greater. Since the princess wants to reconcile, I will make the decision for her. Yin Qing should not blame her harshly." .”

Yin's father was ashamed of what he said and was afraid of offending the royal family, so he returned to his house in anxiety.

This result was expected by Yin Xuan. She deliberately angered the drunken King Qi to try to make peace with her. King Qi did not disappoint her and beat her in anger.

Even if she can't get the understanding of her family, she will rely on her own efforts to lead Xiaoli and herself out of the quagmire.

And she knew very well that the King of Qi was not good enough, and it was impossible for the saint to let him succeed to the throne.

Since she was the wife of the royal family, no one else dared to marry her. In the days to come, she would not have to worry about food and drink, she would only have to be with the little carp, and she could not be happier.

King Qi had no time to take care of her, and all the articles of association passed quickly. In just half a month, she got a piece of paper and a letter of departure that symbolized freedom.

Looking back on the past two years, I felt very sad. Fortunately, I held on to the final bottom line and did not help King Qi persecute others.
