Peach Blossom Makeup

Chapter 146 Princess: Say it again?
Xi Chaosheng was sitting behind the dragon case, leaning slightly on the back of the chair, and staring at Gu Yanzhi, who was half kneeling in front of him, with the same peach blossom eyes as Concubine Luo.

Gu Yanzhi is older than him. These years, everyone regards the Gu family and the Tian family as one. After all, the queen mother is also surnamed Gu.

Moreover, the imperial guards and the guards around the princess are all selected from the Gu family first. Although the official position is not high, they have real power anyway.

"Yanzhi, how long has it been since you last came to my South Study?" Xi Chaosheng asked lightly.

Gu Yanzhi was stunned, "Two years and thirteen days."

Xi Chaosheng didn't expect him to remember it so clearly, so he smiled and said, "Follow it, it's easy to remember."

Gu Yanzhi's three-bearded beard trembled under his chin, "It's because I have nothing to do, so I remember these insignificant things."

Xi Chaosheng raised his hand, "Yanzhi, sit down."

The eunuch at the side cleverly moved Zhang Jinwu over, and Gu Yanzhi took advantage of the situation to sit down with his robe lifted, and strictly abide by the rules from the beginning to the end, not exceeding the slightest.

Xi Chaosheng rubbed the white jade with dragon patterns on his waist, and thought about it, "In a few days, the queen mother will return to Beijing. I have worked a lot, I will be crowned next year, and the queen mother should have a good life to take care of her, so I think, what should I do to make the queen mother happy?"

Gu Yanzhi thought about it for a moment, and then replied tactfully, "The sage is filial, how can the queen mother not know, so as long as it is the sage's heart, the queen mother will be happy."

Xi Chaosheng had seen such a Tai Chi that was inaccessible to oil and salt, and he had seen it a lot in the court, and he smiled slightly, "That's right, it's my demon's obstacle, at least I have a reminder to follow."

Gu Yanzhi cupped his hands and said he didn't dare.

Xi Chaosheng said again, "However, when the Empress Dowager is a thousand years old, Commander Gu will not be able to rest. The Gu family has done a lot for me and the Empress Dowager over the years, and I and the Empress Dowager will remember each of them in my heart."

Gu Yanzhi immediately knelt down on one knee again, "The sage beats the humble minister, and it is the duty of the sage to be loyal to the saint and the queen mother."

Xi Chaosheng nodded with satisfaction, and he waved, "Back off."

Gu Yanzhi backed out respectfully as before, but when he turned around, Xi Chaosheng's expression sank.

In the past, I felt that the Gu family had no choice. Because of the surname Gu, they could only stand on the Queen Mother's side, but looking at it now, Gu Yanzhi is also an old fox, and many things are not set in stone.

Xi Chaosheng died here without a problem. At that time, Concubine Luo saw Xie Liangyu holding a scroll in Zhuolu Academy.

Xie Liangyu was wearing a green gown of Confucian scholars and a lun scarf on his head, and he had grown taller, already as tall as Concubine Luo.

Apparently he had a good life, Concubine Luo squinted her peachy eyes, glanced at the scroll in his hand, saw a copy of "Guiguzi", she frowned, and sneered, "Have you learned a lot from reading it?"

Xie Liangyu closed the scroll, and when he saw Shouyang coming behind him empty-handed, he was not very enthusiastic, and said flatly, "I have learned everything that should be learned, and it is almost the same for what should not be learned."

This is a secluded and shady green bamboo forest in the academy. There are two or three stone tables and chairs. The cool bamboos are faint and the branches and leaves rustle.

Concubine Luo flicked her sleeves and sat down opposite Xie Liangyu. She raised her chin and said like alms, "Then the palace will consider you. If you are not good enough, don't take your studies in this academy. You can save yourself from talking about it." It's a letter of recommendation written by me, I'll lose face."

Xie Liangyu resisted the urge to throw the scroll in his hand and throw at Concubine Luo's mocking face, knowing that she would go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, and it must be an extremely important matter, he said angrily, "The princess can think about it as she pleases. "

Concubine Luo showed a look of interest, waved Shouyang and the others to stand far away, and then whispered about Prince Gong and Shangguan's family, and finally asked, "May I ask, is there any teaching in Guiguzi?" You are the best."

Xie Liangyu frowned and thought, he rolled up the scroll unconsciously, and tapped it a few times on the palm of his hand, "The princess has already decided to give up her military power to the Shangguan family?"

Concubine Luo nodded, "Naturally, Suzaku Camp can no longer be controlled by the Shangguan family."

Xie Liangyu asked again, "Does the princess have a suitable candidate to succeed the Shangguan family?"

Concubine Luo was silent, and after a while she said, "The Tian family will handle it themselves."

Xie Liangyu thought it over, "It's not impossible, but the princess should think about it. If there is no war, the Suzaku Camp will be in the hands of the Tian family. It's nothing, but if there is a war, the Suzaku Camp still needs a good general. Otherwise, A good sharp division, I am afraid that it will fall into a situation of falling apart in the future."

Concubine Luo had actually thought about this kind of thing, she quickly ran through the generals in the court in her mind, and the sad thing is, she really couldn't find anyone to replace the Shangguan family, either because they were not talented enough, or they couldn't be trusted .

She faintly had a very bold idea in her heart, but if others knew about it, it would definitely be very terrifying.

However, the urgent matter should be resolved first, she said, "No problem, there will be no war in the next two years, and I will make my own arrangements in the future."

Xie Liangyu stopped talking, and instead said, "Actually, the princess can just imagine, when the Empress Dowager releases military power over a glass of wine to the Shangguan family, the Shangguan family will definitely not be angry. In the outskirts, Shangguan's family can mobilize only those in the outskirts of Beijing. Prince Gong has no soldiers in his hands, and what he relies on is the half of the Suzaku battalion's soldiers and horses. Where did it lead off from?"

These words were like enlightenment, and Concubine Luo came to her senses. She got up suddenly, and she had already made up her mind, so she said to Xie Liangyu, "I understand."

After saying that, she was ready to enter the palace again, turned around and took a few steps, then turned her head and said to Xie Liangyu, "Guiguzi is good, read more."

After thinking about it, I added another sentence, "Recently, there is a new dim sum master in my palace, and his skills are good."

Xie Liangyu's eyes lit up instantly.

Concubine Luo hooked the corners of her lips, and suddenly found that Xie Liangyu's appearance was similar to Xi Fu's, both of them couldn't hold back their mouths.

She had something on her mind, so she came out of Zhuolu Academy and hurried into the palace again.

This time, she was not seen coming out of the palace until dusk. As for what the two brothers and sisters said, no third person knew.

Concubine Luo went to a big event, and she felt relaxed when she returned home, and she was able to order the imperial dining room to make more snacks and send them to Zhuolu Academy as a reward for Xie Liangyu.

She even found Mingzhu, asked about the situation of Prince Gong during these days, and asked Mingzhu to tell him about the culture of Prince Gong in detail.

Mingzhu didn't dare to hide anything, so he said it in a nonchalant manner, at the end, he took out several banknotes with large denominations from his bosom, saying that they were from Prince Gong.

Concubine Luo waved her hand, "Take it yourself, the Japanese palace said that if you can pull it off, it's your skill."

Ming Zhu was so grateful that he tightly held those bank notes in his hands, as if they were his life-saving straws.

After a whole night without talking, Concubine Luo lazily ate the smoothie cherry cheese made by Shouyang on the second day, feeling the cold tip of her tongue, she sighed and squinted her eyes slightly.

Gu Shiwei came in hastily, holding a quick note in his hand, with an anxious expression on his face.

Concubine Luo's gaze froze, and guard Gu knelt down on one knee to report back, "Princess Qi, the news from the palace is that the queen mother was assassinated and injured on the way to King Ning Hu's land, and she is now in a coma!"

With a "snap", the ice bowl in Concubine Luo's hand fell to the ground, splashing out a piercing coldness and sharpness, "Say it again? How is my queen mother?"

The words came out with unstoppable tremors and distorted sharpness.
