Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 264
Baili Jingqi did not object, watching silently as Huo Mingzhu helped him explain the matter of the harem, but Baili Zonglu was different from him, but said: "Congratulations to the emperor for being such a virtuous concubine, it is the emperor's blessing, The blessing of the country."

Huo Mingzhu glanced at Baili Zonglu, nodded with a smile and said: "Prince Duan, as the emperor's uncle, is afraid that he is always worried that the emperor will not have someone he likes by his side, should he be relieved now?"

"What the queen mother said is very true. As the emperor's uncle, I feel at ease now." Baili Zonglu said with a smile, and he looked like an elder of the emperor, as if it was purely caring as Huo Mingzhu said. meaning.

Baili Jingqi looked at these two people, although his face did not sink, but the joy in his eyes was gone, and he glanced at Situ Yueer, Baili Jingqi said: "Concubine Yue, go down."

"Yes, the concubine obeys." Situ Yue'er was very excited at first, she finally climbed to the head of the harem, although she was not formally named queen, she was already one step away, but Baili Jingqi's face made Situ Yue My son's joy was shattered.

She could already clearly see that Baili Jingqi had a different feeling for Huo Mingzhu,

After Situ Yue'er, many concubines came up to show their skills one by one, which added a lot of excitement. Huo Mingzhu was excited and rewarded a lot of things.She knew that Baili Zonglu had been paying attention to her, so she pretended to be in love, so that Baili Zonglu could trust her even more.

He thinks that the Huo Mingzhu at this moment is really falling in love, and the Huo Mingzhu in the past is still wary of him. These two completely different looks really convinced Baili Zonglu.

After dinner, Huo Mingzhu didn't like the noisy scene, so she took her plain hair out of the Golden Luan Hall.

When the fireworks appear in the sky, it is the last celebration. There are no so many restrictions. Everyone can leave at will, or walk around while eating and watching the fireworks. When the fireworks disappear, it will be The new year is here, and now, even at night, the palace is brightly lit, so if you want to enjoy flowers late at night, it is also feasible.

Huo Mingzhu looked at the fireworks blooming in the sky with a smile all over her face. The splendor of the fireworks was extremely short-lived, but it could be remembered for a lifetime!

It's just that after watching the fireworks for a long time, I got tired of it. Huo Mingzhu couldn't help but want to take a look at the plum blossoms under the white snow, so she said, "Sulu, follow Ai's house to the plum garden."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

There is a plum garden behind the Golden Luan Hall, so Huo Mingzhu doesn't need to go too far, and while listening to the noise, she can already see the red plums under the white snow, so tenacious and beautiful.

"The beauty of this plum blossom has once again shocked Aijia." Huo Mingzhu smiled, looking at the brilliant red plum blossoms. It is undeniable that under the darkness of night, the plum blossoms are even more brilliant under the illumination of lights. Nor can it hide its beauty.

"Queen Mother, why can't this maidservant not see what is so good about this plum blossom? You are really strange. You are full of praise for this plum blossom, but you don't like peony very much." Familiar with and understand Huo Mingzhu's Sulu, of course I know that Huo Mingzhu is not I like peonies.

"The peony is so delicate, how can the Ai family like it." Huo Mingzhu laughed.

"Isn't peony celebrating?" Su Hui asked suspiciously.

"That's right." Huo Mingzhu didn't argue too much with Su Yu, peonies and plum blossoms each have their own advantages, which cannot be denied, but at this moment, her mood is that plum blossoms are more in line with her wishes.

Seeing Huo Mingzhu arrive in the backyard, Baili Zonglu followed, and when he heard Huo Mingzhu praising the plum blossoms, he said: "In my heart, the Queen Mother is even more impressive than the plum blossoms."

Huo Mingzhu didn't turn her head back immediately, but a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she signaled Sulu to back off. After she turned around and faced Baili Zonglu, the smile disappeared, replaced by a bright smile.

"You dare to come." That appearance was indescribably tender and reproachful.

Seeing Huo Mingzhu like this, Baili Zonglu knew that Huo Mingzhu was waiting for him, and he was overjoyed. As expected, Huo Mingzhu's heart was all his, and he smiled softly: "The queen mother is waiting here so boldly." , if the humble minister doesn't come, wouldn't it be a disappointment to the Queen Mother?"

"Prince Duan is really brave." Huo Mingzhu seemed annoyed and exaggerated, but it made Baili Zonglu feel at ease, so she replied: "I'm not very courageous, how dare I share the country with the Queen Mother." Baili Zonglu smiled However, when it comes to sharing the country, the arrogance on that face is fully displayed.

Huo Mingzhu said that it was no accident, that day in the main hall where the emperor was enthroned, he dared to say such rebellious words in front of her, now in this plum garden, there are only two people, so why should Baili Zonglu have anything to worry about? .

"Prince Duan dares to say such outrageous things in front of Ai's family, isn't he afraid that Ai's family will punish you?" Huo Mingzhu said half jokingly, half seriously.

"If the empress dowager wants to punish the crime of the humble minister, how can the humble minister escape? If you are afraid, you are afraid. The empress dowager is reluctant." Baili Zonglu looked a little rascal, but Huo Mingzhu also smiled when he heard it. She's flirting with her lover.

Baili Zonglu really didn't expect that Huo Mingzhu could make him so happy, and his love for her deepened a little bit. If it was this feeling when he approached Huo Mingzhu at the beginning, I am afraid that Huo Mingzhu would have grown up. his people.

Huo Mingzhu wanted this kind of effect. In the last life, Baili Zonglu got her love with all his heart, but trampled her love under his feet, and finally took her life away. Now, it's her turn up.

"If you say you can't bear it, you really can't bear it. Prince Duan is Dayong's hero, and he has made great contributions to Dayong. If Aijia really punishes you, it will cause dissatisfaction among women all over the world. On the other hand, the Ai family will hide in the Palace of Compassion and Ning and dare not come out." Huo Mingzhu said sourly on purpose.

When Baili Zonglu heard it, he was really delighted, and said seriously to Huo Mingzhu: "The empress dowager, I thought that the empress dowager already knew what I wanted."

"Intentions? Aijia doesn't know what your intentions are." Huo Mingzhu deliberately said such words, showing the little girl's posture fully.

Tonight's Huo Mingzhu is not the first time to see Baili Zonglu like this, so Baili Zonglu is used to it, of course he understands better, Huo Mingzhu is duplicity, and he will not expose it immediately, but said: "Since the empress dowager doesn't know, then don't know. If the empress dowager wants to know, just ask the minister directly."

Huo Mingzhu thought it was very funny, Baili Zonglu really thought that he had surrendered her and was in love with him at the moment, if she said these words, would she still regard him as heaven?

"It's getting late now, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for Prince Duan to stay here." Huo Mingzhu said.

Baili Zonglu said: "If the Empress Dowager hadn't been here, I would have left the palace a long time ago." The implication was to take such a big risk for Huo Mingzhu.

Huo Mingzhu smiled but said nothing, looked at Baili Zonglu, but Baili Zonglu didn't get Huo Mingzhu's answer, saw her just smiled, thought she liked to hear such words, so she said: "If we can meet so often, we can accompany the Queen Mother Talking about it, I feel very happy."

"The Ai family also feels very happy." Of course Huo Mingzhu felt happy. Seeing Baili Zonglu's appearance in heaven now, Huo Mingzhu could foresee that if she took action, Baili Zonglu would fall from heaven to hell , that face might be very exciting, thinking of this, Huo Mingzhu smiled even more heartily, wishing to take a look now.

Seeing that Huo Mingzhu was so happy with his words, Baili Zonglu was very satisfied. When he knew about the position Huo Mingzhu occupied in his heart, he wanted to deal with it quickly, but in the end he was reluctant. Since he was reluctant, then He has to find a way to get her. Now, the day when he can get her is not far away. At that time, it will be Jiangshan and his. Thinking about Baili Zonglu makes him feel happy, and the look in Huo Mingzhu's eyes will be even more tender.

"Empress Dowager, the emperor is here." Su Yu's voice came from behind the rockery nearby, Huo Mingzhu saw Baili Zonglu's eyebrows moving slightly, and she was afraid that she had the intention to silence Su Yu, so she said : "Aijia knows, go tell the emperor that Aijia is waiting for him in the Palace of Compassion."

"Your servant obeys." After Sulu took the order, Huo Mingzhu said to Baili Zonglu, "Sulu is my confidant." After finishing speaking, she left.

Baili Zonglu looked at Huo Mingzhu who was leaving, and thought of what Huo Mingzhu said before he left, he was telling him not to touch the silk, Baili Zonglu was very surprised, he didn't say anything, Huo Mingzhu It can be seen that he wants to silence Sulu.

When Huo Mingzhu returned to the Compassionate Ning Palace, she saw Baili Jingqi sitting in the main seat, and when she saw Huo Mingzhu coming in, she didn't get up, but looked at Huo Mingzhu coldly without speaking.

Huo Mingzhu thought that Baili Jingqi was angry, and at the same time sighed secretly. Baili Jingqi's childish behavior was really a headache. As the king of a country, he was so impatient. With a look of anger.

"Your Majesty, you were not well just now, why are you so angry now?"

Looking at Huo Mingzhu's appearance of knowingly asking questions, Baili Jingqi stood up angrily, looked at Huo Mingzhu with a full face of accusation, and said, "Your Majesty, you were in the plum garden just now."

Huo Mingzhu didn't think it was strange, the emperor had just gone to the plum garden, so he must have known where she was, but on second thought, since he knew where she was, he must also know where Baili Zonglu was, he did not expect to know The two of them were in the plum garden, and Baili Jingqi also listened to her and didn't go there, which made Huo Mingzhu very satisfied.

Otherwise, if Baili Jingqi saw the two of them meeting there alone, he might do something to Baili Zonglu. Based on Huo Mingzhu's understanding of Baili Jingqi, it was entirely possible.

When Huo Mingzhu thought of this, she could also think that Baili Zonglu must have thought of this matter too, and Baili Jingqi believed her crappy lies, and Baili Jingqi had been firmly controlled by her. Maybe there is no doubt at all, no wonder he dared to say those words, and dared to find her alone when she appeared in Meiyuan without being afraid of anyone.

"Your Majesty, where did Ai's family go? I'm afraid I don't need to report to you, right?" Huo Mingzhu really didn't want to continue coaxing the prince, not because she couldn't bear it, but because she was too lazy to coax.

"I dare not, but I am worried about the Queen Mother's phoenix body. The wind and frost are so severe and the snow is so thick. If the Queen Mother stays outside for too long, I am afraid that I will catch the cold, so I am anxious to look for the Queen Mother everywhere." Bailijing Qi spoke with a serious face, which made Huo Mingzhu not know what to say.

There is such a person who thinks of her everywhere but always hinders her, I really don't know what to say, but fortunately, Baili Jingqi didn't really hurt her, so let him alone .
