The emperor is reborn, the cute queen is upgraded

Chapter 60 Infighting
"My son sees the Queen Mother." Dugu Ye first greeted Queen Mother Xu after entering the palace.

"Your Majesty, get up quickly." The Empress Dowager Xu said kindly, "Your Majesty has been tired of dealing with government affairs for a day, so you don't have to be too formal when you come to Ai's house."

Words are just words.

Duguye sat down, first looked at the people standing in the room, but did not see the Xu family twins.

"My son remembers that when he was in Wanjing Garden, his mother introduced two girls from the Xu family. She also said that she was going to take them into the palace to accompany you. I wonder where they are now?" Duguye asked with a smile.

Empress Dowager Xu's eyes lit up, she saw that Duguye was not looking like a teacher asking for a crime, and she mentioned the Xu sisters, could it be...

"They made a mistake today, and Ai's family punished the two sisters to copy scriptures." Empress Dowager Xu said with a look of hatred, "They are both spoiled daughters of their parents, and they don't know much about the rules in the palace. Lin offended the queen, so Aijia punished them."

Duguye lowered his eyes, pursed his lips and smiled, stretched out his hand to caress the hem of the robe on his knee, "Mother, you have worked hard."

Empress Dowager Xu looked at the emperor, but couldn't see through him!

"Why did your Majesty come to Aijia Palace today?" Empress Dowager Xu did not mention Xu's second daughter.

Dugu Ye pondered for a while and then said: "Recently, due to government affairs, I have disagreements with many ministers in the court, and the relationship between the monarch and his ministers is also a little tense. Therefore, I want to take advantage of the infinitely good spring to hold an award in the palace recently. For the flower banquet, the courtiers and their wives and daughters are invited to the palace to enjoy the flowers. But the queen’s injuries have not yet recovered, and Mrs. Liao and the Liao lady officials are not very good at organizing such palace feasts... So, I want to ask the queen mother to work hard once to enjoy the flowers The banquet should be held in a decent way."

Empress Dowager Xu did not expect that Duguye came here today to ask for something from herself!After she was stunned for a moment, pride welled up in her heart!
Let's see!It is still impossible to leave Aijia in this harem!After all, she is a concubine who came out of the vassal's palace, so it would be clumsy to act real!

"It turns out that's the case." Empress Dowager Xu smiled gently, "The Ai family should be doing something to make the emperor come here in his busy schedule. Since the emperor asked Ai's family, Ai's family must do this favor. It's just that ..."

"The queen mother can say anything." Duguye said when he saw Queen Mother Xu hesitated.

Empress Dowager Xu folded her sleeves together and said: "Aijia wants Xu Ying and Xu Xuan to help organize the flower viewing feast, but is afraid that these two children will bump into your concubines while doing business..."

"Don't worry, queen mother, how about I make them female officials." Duguye said that he wanted to make the Xu sisters female officials.

"No need." Empress Dowager Xu hastily declined, "It's too rash to appoint a female official just to help Ai's family hold a flower viewing banquet! As long as the emperor informs the people in the harem, the Xu sisters will be in office during the flower viewing banquet. Just go with Liao female officer."

The people around Empress Dowager Xu have been appointed female officials, so they can only wait in the Funing Palace, and it is even more impossible for the emperor to extend his hand into the Empress Dowager's Palace. This is equivalent to pushing the Xu sisters out of the list of candidates for concubines!

"Let it be arranged by the queen mother." Dugu Ye's eyes flickered, and he lowered his eyelids and said respectfully.

After getting the desired answer from Empress Dowager Xu, Duguye drove to Fenggong Palace after leaving Funing Palace!

As the old saying goes: one hundred days of injury!

Queen Si not only suffered an arrow wound on her shoulder, but also broke a rib when she fell off the horse!In this way, the emperor will not be able to stay in Feng Palace!

Duguye went to Feng Palace to chat with Si Luoyun, but the emperor couldn't talk about rouge, gouache, cloth and jewelry, so he simply talked about court affairs.

On the contrary, Si Luoyun prefers to listen to Dugu Ye's talk about how to fight wits and courage with the ministers in the court, and she is often fascinated by it!

So it was late at night, and when it was time for Dugu Ye to leave, Si Luoyun always seemed reluctant to part with her.

Si Luoyun didn't want him to leave Fenggong, which made Duguye very happy, but now he couldn't stay, which made Duguye very annoyed!

But today Duguye called Chunxiao and Liao Muer to come to him when he entered the bedroom, first asked Si Luoyun what he had eaten that day, whether he had taken any medicine, etc., and then asked about what happened in the Taolin.

Both Chun Xiao and Liao Mu'er hated the arrogant Xu Ying very much, and told the story of Xu Ying's assault on Queen Si without reservation!Liao Muer still felt that the dictation process was not enough, so she imitated Xu Ying's tone and expression perfectly!
"Empress! After serving the emperor in the future, I will ask your empress to take care of you!" Liao Mu'er raised her neck, winked, and exaggeratedly imitated Xu Ying's appearance when she said that sentence.

Si Luoyun, who was leaning on the couch, was amused and burst into laughter!But then, because of the wounds on his shoulder and ribs, he frowned and hummed in pain.

Duguye glared at the weird Liao Muer, turned around and gently embraced Si Luoyun and asked softly, "Should I call the imperial physician?"

Si Luoyun hurriedly waved her hand lightly, "Your Majesty, no need!"

It's not enough to arrange for a female doctor to wait in Feng Palace, and it's too much trouble to call the imperial doctor if you feel a little unwell!
Duguye glanced at Chunxiao, Chunxiao immediately understood and went out to ask the medical girl to come in.

"Your Majesty, this is the first time this servant has seen such a shameless girl!" Liao Mu'er was stared at by "Longyan" and did not stop her interest in continuing to talk! "How can there be a girl who says she wants to serve men! It's not in the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion..."

"Miss Liao, aren't you thirsty?" Dugu Ye couldn't stand Liao Muer's noise, so he just chased her away, "My tea is cold! Go get a new one!"

Liao Mu'er curled her lips, picked up the tea on the couch table and went out.

Chunxiao brought the medical girl to help Si Luoyun check the wound, and asked a few more questions.After confirming that nothing happened, Dugu Ye was relieved.

"Just say it's okay." Si Luoyun murmured as she folded her clothes.

"Don't let Mu'er fool around!" Duguye reprimanded Si Luoyun with a cold face, "If you let her go, she will climb on your head!"

That's not the person you arranged for!Si Luoyun complained.

"Where do you want to sit in the palace in the future, and bring more palace people with you." Dugu Ye worriedly said, "You have to take it with you! After choosing a place, let the palace people go and clear the idlers first, Lest you lose your interest like today."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Si Luoyun replied with a low eyebrow.

Duguye patted Si Luoyun's forehead lightly, and scolded with a smile: "Where does she look like a queen! A woman who is obedient to the yang!"

It's a blessing that Si Luoyun can remember half of what he ordered today!

Because she went out for a walk during the day, Si Luoyun got tired very quickly.

Dugu Ye had no choice but to get up and go back to his Tide Hall. Before leaving, he explained to Liao Muer about the flower viewing feast.

When she heard that the flower viewing feast was handed over to Empress Dowager Xu and the second daughter of the Xu family, Liao Mu'er made a long face.

Dugu Ye didn't keep it secret, so he told Liao Mu'er all about his plan.

The more Liao Muer listened, the more she smiled, and finally patted her chest and promised to help Queen Mother Xu organize the flower viewing banquet!

In order to get closer to the relationship between the monarch and his subjects, the emperor specially held a flower viewing banquet in the palace on the ninth day of April!Invite the ministers and their family members to enter the palace to enjoy the flowers!
The flower viewing banquet was personally supervised by Empress Dowager Xu, so the palace people naturally dare not neglect or neglect it!Funing Palace suddenly became lively, there were quite a lot of palace people coming in and out every day!

After all, Queen Mother Xu is old and has limited energy.

Every morning, Empress Dowager Xu assigned tooth cards and affairs in the Fufeng Hall of Funing Palace, and if there was anything to do, the second daughter of the Xu family would be responsible for solving it.In the evening, Xu's second daughter reported the progress of the day to Queen Mother Xu one by one.This made Empress Dowager Xu more relaxed, and also made Xu Ying and Xu Xuan familiar with palace affairs and exercised their ability to manage palace affairs.

The Xu sisters are very smart, and with a little guidance from the Empress Dowager Xu, they handled the matter almost perfectly.

Empress Dowager Xu was also very satisfied with these two nieces, thinking that after this flower viewing feast, the Xu sisters would also be able to leave an impression in the emperor's heart.

But the closer the flower viewing feast was, the more delicate the atmosphere between Xu Ying and Xu Xuan became!

In the past, the two of them were very conscientious in doing things, and tried their best to make the errands run perfectly.But a lot of preparations were almost done in the later stage, and when there were some finishing chores left, Xu Ying showed a strong style of grabbing power!
Of course, Xu Xuan didn't want to give up this opportunity to perform. Although it had become a habit to avoid Xu Ying's edge, she was not reconciled to letting Xu Ying have the final say on everything!
The cousins ​​compete with each other, but it hurts the palace servants below!

The more the end, the more thought and attention should be paid, but Xu's second daughter's thoughts are all about fighting for power, and the arrangement of errands starts to be messy!These palace people were just arranged by Xu Ying to move things, and Xu Xuan sent someone to tell them to move things!

But Xu's two daughters still looked harmonious in front of Empress Dowager Xu, and did not show their respective ambitions!
Grandma Huang was still worried, and found out that the two girls were fighting for each other while checking the layout!

Huang Momo hurriedly reported the situation to Empress Dowager Xu, and said angrily: "Seeing that the day of the flower viewing feast is coming, the palace rooms in the Bifu Garden where the emperor entertained all the ministers and princes are still empty and nothing is placed! Things for the grown-ups to change their clothes and clean their hands are also not ready...it's really shameful!"

Empress Dowager Xu was also very angry when she heard that, so she sent someone to call Xu Ying and Xu Xuan to the bedroom.

"See the Empress Dowager." The two daughters bowed to the Empress Dowager Xu, and there was nothing unusual on the surface!
Empress Dowager Xu looked at the two daughters sharply, then patted the couch table hard and shouted: "You two don't kneel down to Aijia!"

Xu Ying and Xu Xuan were startled, and they knelt down without thinking!
This is the first time since they entered the palace, they saw Empress Dowager Xu get angry!
"Mud can't support the wall! Things with shallow eyelids!" Empress Dowager Xu scolded Xu's second daughter mercilessly, "The Ai family wanted to promote you and your family, so you were brought into the palace! If you can't accomplish anything, get the Ai family out of the palace! The Xu family has no shortage of obedient and sensible girls!"

The second daughter of the Xu family was so frightened that she shed tears, and she still didn't understand why the Queen Mother Xu was so angry.

"Queen Dowager, calm down, Xuan'er and cousin did something wrong that made you so angry! Please forgive me, Queen Mother!" Xu Xuan cried as she touched her head to the ground.

Xu Ying also lowered her head in fear, but did not dare to speak out.

Empress Dowager Xu snorted coldly and said: "Tell me what you have done behind Aijia's back these two days? You took the royal banquet as an opportunity to be competitive and show off your skills? Bah! Even when Aijia was the queen, she I don’t have the guts like you! If the flower viewing feast is messed up, let alone leaving the palace, it’s not too much to drag you out and beat you to death!”

"The Queen Mother, please spare me!" Xu's second daughter kowtowed in fright.

After being scolded by Empress Dowager Xu, the two daughters of the Xu family woke up to their stupidity!

The emperor attaches so much importance to the flower viewing banquet, if they really do something wrong or screw up the banquet, they will really have to die to apologize!
Empress Dowager Xu took two deep breaths. Seeing that the second daughter had a good attitude introspecting, she gradually extinguished her anger.

"There are still three to five days, and the flower viewing banquet will officially begin! You all should be sober!"

"Yes, Empress Dowager!" The second daughter of Xu's family prostrated themselves on the ground.
