Chapter 49
Mrs. Zhao nodded, "I'm waiting at the West View Gate. My name is Si Qi." Without permission, servants are not allowed to enter the palace, and can only wait outside the palace.

Si Luoyun turned her head and said to Liao Mu'er: "Mu'er, order someone to bring Si Qi, the maidservant of the Prime Minister's Mansion, into the palace at Xijing Gate. You can send her directly to Mrs. Si's Fuyi Palace."

"Yes." Liao Mu'er accepted the order with blessings, and bowed to the prime minister's wife before retreating.

When Liao Mu'er went out, Si Luoyun winked at Chunxiao again, and the palace maid understood and withdrew to guard at the gate of the hall.

After Zhao Shi and Si Luoyun were the only mother and daughter left in the room, the smiles and composure that were floating on their faces before faded away!

A frosty sneer floated on Zhao's face, while Si Luoyun was a little sullen.

"Mother's entry into the palace is because father forced you to do so?" Si Luoyun couldn't hide her anger in her voice.

How could it be possible for the mother to come into the palace specially for the concubine to ask for a maid?It must be that Aunt Ning was blowing some wind in Prime Minister Si's ears, so my father forced his mother, Mrs. Zhao, to hand over the tooth card and enter the palace to beg to see him!
Mrs. Zhao said with a sneer: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be upset about such a trivial matter! If it wasn't for this incident, I wouldn't know that Xiangye's heart is so far away! After you and Luo Fu were sent to Chen Palace, Luo Fu I won the favor first. The news was sent back to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Shangjing, and under Ning's instigation, the Prime Minister secretly sent people to Chen Di three times behind my back! Each time, he sent money, cloth and jewelry to Luo Fu!"

None of those things came from the public, so of course Mrs. Zhao didn't know about it!It can be seen that Prime Minister Si has a lot of good things hidden in private!As for who is in control of these things, it is Aunt Ning without saying it!How could this not make Zhao even more annoyed and chilled!
If Prime Minister Si hadn't discussed with his wife about sending a maid into the palace to Mrs. Si, Mrs. Zhao coldly refused, and he slipped his words in anger, maybe Mrs. Zhao would not have known about these eccentric things her husband did behind her back!
Even if Prime Minister Si gave some property to his concubine daughter Si Luoyun to win favor with her concubine, the Zhao family would not be as angry and resentful as they are now!

Seeing her mother suffering from her father's betrayal again, Si Luoyun seemed extremely calm!
"Father's behavior of disregarding his concubines and concubines and destroying his wives is no longer a day or two, once or twice. Mother doesn't have to be annoyed by this, but hurts her own body!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister's wife is already out of anger." Zhao regained her composure after straightening out her mood, and said with a mocking smile, "Although the maid who was sent to the palace to serve Mrs. Si was personally selected by Ning One of the several candidates, but it was the minister's wife who finally decided on it! The minister's wife chose the smartest, most intelligent, and most beautiful one to send to Mrs. Si's palace, and Mrs. Si must be very satisfied!"

Don't call her selfish!Don't say she is cruel!
Being a mother is strong!In order to protect her children, Mrs. Zhao doesn't mind becoming a scheming "poisonous woman"!What's more, she was just planning to go back, and she hasn't used any vicious methods yet!

After so many years, she can give her husband to Ning and other women, but she can't just watch them and their sons and daughters occupy everything that should belong to her children!
Si Luoyun loves her mother very much!If it weren't for the strength of the Zhao family, I am afraid that the Prime Minister's Mansion has already fallen into the control of the Ning family!

Now, the eldest brother was killed in battle, and the elder sister lost her power and went to Chen Di. If she is not well-off in the palace, then it will be even more difficult for the mother in the prime minister's mansion!
Si Luoyun gritted her teeth, feeling "competitive" for the first time in her life!She must not let Mrs. Si overwhelm her!She has been unable to change her destiny, unable to get out of the cage of the palace, so she must work hard to secure the supreme position under her feet!

"Since the person chosen by the mother, my daughter can rest assured." After Si Luoyun made up her mind, she spoke a little briskly, "Yesterday the emperor mentioned to me about the second brother's official position, but the daughter did not say anything about it on the grounds that the harem would not interfere in politics." Intentions. According to the mother's wishes, should the daughter ask the emperor to promote the second elder brother for the prosperity of the Si family?"

Before entering the palace, Mrs. Zhao told Si Luoyun the reason why she and Si Luofu were forced to stay behind and were not allowed to talk about marriage and were preparing to enter the palace!

There are countless concubines in the emperor's harem, but not all of them are "beauties" and beautiful!Behind those ordinary-looking concubines who occupy the positions of wives and beauties, there is a family power that cannot be underestimated!The emperor needs the support of these forces, and also needs to use these forces to check and balance each other in order to achieve the goal of stabilizing the imperial power!

In other words, the size of the family power also determines the degree to which the harem women are "valued" and "loved" by the emperor!

When Mrs. Zhao heard Si Luoyun say that the emperor intends to promote Si Mingyuan, she was so angry that she tightened the handkerchief in her hand!
The fact that his son Si Mingyao's contribution to the death of his son Si Mingyao had blessed his concubine son had made Mrs. Zhao sick with sadness and anger!
"I've promoted Ming Yuan, I'm afraid he won't be of the same mind with you!" Mrs. Zhao gritted her teeth and said, "Maybe the father and son framed the empress with a cruel heart, and Mrs. Fusi replaced you! Absolutely don't let the emperor promote Ming Yuan's official position! "

Si Luoyun nodded, "What the mother said is very true, and the daughter thinks so too."

In fact, Si Luoyun's thinking is relatively simple, but she just doesn't want her brother-in-law to follow the merits of her deceased brother to soar!
Zhao's mind was spinning rapidly!Although it is necessary to suppress the concubine, the daughter also needs the support of the previous dynasty in the harem!Her husband, Prime Minister Si, can't be counted on, so who else?
The other concubine is from the concubine Jiang's family. Aunt Jiang is an honest concubine, but Siming Zhen is only nine years old, so there is no way to count on him now!

"Mother?" Seeing that Mrs. Zhao was still frowning and bowing her head without answering, Si Luoyun called out. "What is mother still worried about?"

Mrs. Zhao raised her head and said soothingly to her daughter, "The court really needs people who can support the empress. Please rest assured, the lady will think carefully about who can stand on the empress's side after she returns."

Among the ministers, there are many upright people who support the orthodox wife and son, but Si Luoyun is the successor and has not given birth to a son, so the courtiers are mostly on the sidelines.Mrs. Zhao is also a woman. Even if she makes friends with the wives of these ministers, it is difficult to influence their husbands' hearts.

Si Luoyun heard that her mother was worrying about this matter, she couldn't help laughing casually: "Mother, don't worry, the emperor treats his daughter very well."

"Stupid child." Seeing her daughter's innocent and carefree appearance, Mrs. Zhao sighed.She took out all her mother's painstaking efforts to persuade, "Flowers don't have a hundred days of redness, and people don't have a hundred days of happiness. Let alone this harem full of flowers and people's eyes? My son should be vigilant at every step, and don't forget the original intention!" "

The bright smile on Si Luoyun's face froze, and Zhao Shi's words were like a bucket of cold water pouring on her, chilling her whole body!

After Mrs. Zhao left the palace, Si Luoyun didn't eat much for lunch, and she didn't feel sleepy when she was supposed to take a nap.Sitting on the couch and flipping through the books, but a page is spread out in a daze, and I don't turn a page for a long time!
Chun Xiao and Liao Mu'er saw that the empress looked worried, but they looked at each other but didn't know what was going on.

Liao Mu'er found an excuse to come out of Feng Palace, and went straight to the imperial study.

Dugu Ye was looking at the map of Dayan, the hand-painted map marked with the names of states, counties and domains.

In the last life, his decree to cut down the vassals caused quite a shock in the court and the country, but the following ten years of peace and prosperity proved that his move was correct!

In this life, Dugu Ye still wanted to cut down the feudal clan, but he was wondering if there was a gentle way to avoid the feudal king's conflict and rebellion.

"Your Majesty, Miss Liao is asking to see you." The servant on duty at the gate of the imperial study reported.

Duguye frowned and raised his head, "Xuan!"

Liao Muer saluted after entering the imperial study, "See the emperor."

"At this time, you are not serving the queen, so why go to the imperial study to find me? Did the queen ask you to come?" Dugu Ye asked.

"Returning to the emperor, today the prime minister's wife came to visit the empress." Liao Mu'er bowed her head and said, "After the prime minister's wife left, the empress was in a daze, didn't eat much for lunch, and didn't even take a nap at noon. The slaves came to report to the emperor."

Dugu Ye's brows tightened even more, and his face darkened!
"You have to report this kind of trivial matters about the queen's eating and sleeping? What do you servants do?" He was thinking about the important affairs of the country, but the female officer actually bothered herself with such trivial matters!
It's abominable!If Liao Mu'er wasn't the granddaughter of her mentor Liao Zuoxiang, she would have been pushed out and punished long ago!
Liao Mu'er's face also sank, thinking that she came here to report these things, and was charged with betraying Queen Si, and it wasn't your eccentric emperor who ordered it before!Obviously you asked me to "monitor" Queen Si's every move, and report any abnormalities in time!Now come to scold me again?

"It's the servant who made a mistake, please forgive me! The servant will leave!" Liao Muer angrily gave a random blessing, turned around and left!
Seeing Liao Muer's unruly back leaving, Duguye laughed angrily!

At the age of 15, he got married and went to the domain. At that time, he didn't know how to govern the country. It was Liao Muer's grandfather, Liao Zuoxiang, who gave him the love and support that made him successful.And Liao Mu'er also often entered the palace with Zuo Xiang. He regarded this lively and lovely girl who lost her parents as his younger sister...

"Stop!" Dugu Ye deliberately put on a straight face and stopped Liao Mu'er, "Come in and explain the matter clearly! You have a bigger temper than me!" She really turned against her!
Liao Mu'er curled her lips and rolled her eyes, the servant standing at the door gasped in fright, and quickly lowered her head!

Back in the imperial study room again, Liao Muer told Mrs. Si that Mrs. Si sent someone to the prime minister's mansion to ask for a maid who could cook side dishes, and Mrs. Zhao, the prime minister's wife, personally sent a maid to the palace for Mrs. Si.

Dugu Ye raised his eyebrows, "Aside from sending a maid to Mrs. Si, what can the Prime Minister's wife say to the Queen?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the slaves don't know!" Liao Mu'er replied confidently!
"..." Dugu Ye really wanted to slap Liao Mu'er with the torture stick!

When Liao Muer was young, she often entered the palace with her grandfather, and Duguye took great care of and tolerated her, treating her like a younger sister.Now even if she has grown up and Dugu Ye is the emperor, she doesn't have a lot of awe of Dugu Ye.
