The maid is the queen

Chapter 260 The Empress Dowager Attacks Xu
"I know that my father told me that I am a human being, and people must like him. His life is already a regret, and he doesn't want me to follow his old path."

When the first emperor was moved out, the queen mother's face was extremely ugly when she heard it.

We really want to fight against the queen mother by all means. Alas, the most painful thing for a woman is to love a man, but he doesn't love himself.

I think I'm really lucky. It's hard to love someone, and it's a pain to love someone who doesn't love himself.

The Empress Dowager said nothing, stood up and sighed: "Go back to the palace."

When Xia Junlan contradicted her before, she said plaintively that the emperor had grown up with hard wings and something, and always complained to make the emperor feel guilty, but now that she tore her face, she didn't say anything anymore.

After sending off the Queen Mother, I looked at Xia Juntang with admiration, she was really amazing, she looked more and more like her.

But he breathed a sigh of relief, rubbing the tip of his brows: "Now I know that I only go out to kill the enemy, how light it is, and knowing that I was free and easy before, how happy it is."

"It's good to get used to it." I chuckled lightly, and gradually I won't be tired anymore.

I went out when he was taking a nap, and looked at the snow-white place on the palace corridor outside, and a little bit of bright red came out.

The plum blossoms bloomed quietly under my nose, I lifted the hem of my skirt and stepped out, I wanted to see the red plum blossoms, it’s another winter, everyone said that the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, if you wait a little later, you will be tired, hurry up It's the Chinese New Year, there are many celebrations, and the father-in-law is busy, but the queen in the harem ignores it, and I always have to support it.

I really want to, but I dare not think about it, I can't escape everything here.

"Your Majesty, the red plums started to sprout a little yesterday. Let the servants break them off a little bit today. Be careful not to scratch your Majesty." Eunuch Chen also stepped in.

"Let it bloom, the plum grove beside the North Palace will be splendid in a short time." Pulling down the plum blossom branch to smell the fragrance: "Eunuch Chen, do you have anything to say to me?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." He lowered his voice: "My Lady, now that Third Prince Jing pretends to be the emperor, everyone in the palace seems to be suppressed. I haven't thought about it, if the fake ones become the real ones, what should I do?"

I smiled, flicked away the white snow on the bright red with my fingers, shook my head and said, "This is impossible."

Xia Juntang was not interested in political affairs at all, he wished he could relax and live as happily as before.

"Your Majesty, it's always better to have a different mind. A slight mistake, not only about the throne, he can get a lot, including everything he wants, and he can make the emperor forever..." The following words are taboo , he dared not go on.

But I smiled: "Eunuch Chen, I believe him, I know your good intentions, but please rest assured, he will not, if he wants to fight, he may not have the emperor's share in the first place, please don't mind me saying that , the previous emperor loved him more than the emperor, do you understand?"

"But ma'am, before and now, no matter people, things or ideas, they are always different."

"I know it's different, and the power of Qingtian can also change a person's desires. He can get whatever he wants. Those who follow me will live and those who oppose me will die. But when Eunuch Chen and I were sorting out the emperor's things, , I didn’t find any military power, my father Mu Gonghou, the Li family, and the three armies didn’t have any, so he couldn’t wield any military power.”

Eunuch Chen also breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice: "Then what should I do? If there is any war, wouldn't it be revealed? Your Majesty, the emperor has always sorted out these things himself, and the servants never know about it. The military power is divided, and there are many spies, as well as secret ways, all handled by the emperor himself."

"I can only play by ear. Lin Luoshui is a famous doctor in the capital. I think he won't disappoint us too much. Don't worry too much. Eunuch Chen, you haven't had a good rest these days. Go and have a good rest now. I will also go to the Royal Academy and bring the child back when the time is right."

"Your Majesty, this servant knows why the Emperor likes Your Majesty so much." He laughed.

I asked curiously, "Why?"

"Because the empress doesn't care about the emperor."

"Pfft." I laughed.

I don't care about him, that's no wonder, I don't care about risking my life, I don't care about having a child for him, I have to stay in this boring palace for him.

Smiling and shaking his head, he walked out of the palace easily, and the snow started to fall lightly. Eunuch Chen's worry naturally had his reasons. The emperor didn't want to see him before. How could he not be careful? Ah, there is no need to think of him too great.

The maid held an umbrella to shield me from the snow. The snow was pressing on the umbrella with some difficulty, but I followed suit. I slowed down a little and said, "This year's snow is really heavy. You need to look at the winter clothes in the respect room." Be careful, those places in the Lenggong must not be missing."

"The servant knows."

It was very quiet in the Royal Academy. I went in and found that there were more guards, but only Xi and Baobao were in the room, and there were a few other people guarding there.

"Mother Concubine." Seeing the fear in my eyes, the baby rushed over with his little feet.

I caught her and said, "What's the matter, why is Xi here, sir? Where's Xu?" Mr. Xi, don't teach him again, of course things are different at different ages.

"Mother Concubine." Her voice was a little frightened, and she hugged my leg tightly with both hands.

Seeing so many guards, I asked coldly, "What's going on, Mr. Lian isn't here, where is Prince Xu?"

One of the guards replied: "Returning to the Princess, the Empress Dowager announced that Mr. went to the palace, and Prince Xu also brought him there. The subordinates are here to guard the safety of the prince and princess."

What a queen mother, she still wants to find out our secrets. There are so many people guarding her, so there is no protection. She is obviously under house arrest and no one is allowed to come out and report to me.

I held Xi in one hand and held the baby in the other, and sent the maid to pick up the prince in the Empress Dowager's palace.

The baby's hands were cold, and he raised his head and said, "Concubine Mu, the baby is so scared."

"Don't be afraid, the baby has grown up, don't be afraid of anything, the concubine mother will not leave the baby."

When they arrived at Huishou Pavilion and took off the heavy clothes for Baobao and Xi, the maid came back in a hurry and said, "Princess, slaves are not allowed in the Empress Dowager's Palace."

Really, I stood up: "The baby is here with brother Xi, be good, mother and concubine will pick up brother Xu back."

"Mother Concubine, will Brother Xu come back?"

I nodded and said affirmatively: "Of course, he will definitely come back. If Baobao and Xi are not good, Xu won't play with you."

Putting on the coat, he hurried to the queen mother's palace.

The guard's father-in-law said coldly: "The empress dowager did not announce to see Princess Mu."

"The emperor sent me to pick up Prince Xu to have dinner with him. Please inform me. If I get offended by the holy will, I can't guarantee that anything will happen to the emperor. If I don't receive the emperor, I think the emperor will come in person." come over."

The man put away his cold expression as soon as he heard it: "Master Mu, please wait a moment, the servant will report right away."

The last good words were for the Empress Dowager, but the father-in-law went in for a long time and never came out. I waited outside the palace gate. The snow wind was strong and the sky was getting dark. There was no palace lantern lit in the Empress Dowager’s Palace. , looked so gloomy.

Waiting again, until my hands were cold and no one came out.

I said to another father-in-law who was guarding the gate: "Eunuch Lao told the Queen Mother that the weather is too cold. I will go back to the emperor's order first. If I can't pick up Prince Xu, I have to invite the emperor to come in person."

After finishing speaking, he left without stopping for a moment. He only walked a dozen steps, and then he heard someone yelling urgently: "Princess, please go slowly. The Empress Dowager invites the princess to enter."

I thought I really wanted to invite the emperor to come here. Queen Mother, is such a little family affection so thin that it will go away with the wind?Xu is your grandson.But nothing can compare to her Lu family.

Go in coldly, humming softly.

The father-in-law then said: "Princess, just now the queen mother was looking at Prince Xu's homework. The queen mother said that Xu is the eldest prince of the prime minister. Regarding homework, the queen mother said that she must not be left behind. The emperor is now..." He Luo Luo spoke for the queen mother at length, but I couldn't listen to a word.

"You slave, talk too much." The maid beside me scolded coldly.

He kept silent and dared not speak any more, and went to a room. From the wide open window, he saw that there was no trace of the Empress Dowager, only Xu and a few court ladies.Xu was writing while standing, and a thick stack was put aside, while the maid was still rubbing ink or something.

I stood at the door and said, "Xu, come here, the emperor asked me to pick you up."

As soon as Xu turned around, his expression was still as calm as usual, he just put down his pen, then took the handkerchief handed over by the maid to wipe his hands before walking out.

Pulling his cold hand, he proudly walked out of the queen mother's palace, Xu said softly: "Mother, Xu's feet are so tired."

I squatted down: "Xu, concubine mother carries you on her back."

He came up obediently, wrapping his small hands around my neck, some warm liquid fell on my neck, Xu wiped it off with his chin, but it fell even more fiercely.

"Xu don't cry, tell Concubine what's wrong?" Tears made my heart ache.

"The queen mother made Xu stand for a long time. Xu was so cold, so hungry and tired. The queen mother even slapped Xu's palm, saying that Xu would be very angry if he didn't study hard. The emperor prays."

Finally he said in a low voice: "Mother Concubine, the Empress Dowager wants to ask if Xu is the emperor."

I comforted him with regret: "Yes, when Xu really grows up, he will endure and suffer. Although the prince has an honorable status and is noble and pampered, his good side naturally also has another side. Children should be responsible, and we are not afraid of suffering. If we suffer a lot, we will worry about whether it will be sweet in the future, and will we worry about suffering again?"

"Xu is not afraid."

After all, he was still a child, and he said he was not afraid, but he was so wronged that he shed tears.

Back in the temple, he put a hot towel on Xuhong's hands, the baby asked him if it hurt, Xu shook his head and said, "It doesn't hurt."

"Did the Queen Mother hit your palm?" The baby asked with wide-eyed eyes.

Xu remained silent, and Baobao said, "Baby hates the Queen Mother, old hag."

I almost jumped up when I said this, and said in surprise: "Baby, who taught you to say these words, this is not good."

"Brother Xu did nothing wrong. She beat Brother Xu, and she is an old witch. My husband said that the old woman who beats someone is an old witch."

Really remember these things: "The concubine mother also slapped the baby's palm, and the concubine mother is also an old witch."
