The dynasty has a daughter who is so tough

Chapter 240

On this day, the Empress Dowager sent someone to say that she hadn't had dinner with him for a long time, and she missed him very much, and asked him to have a gathering at the Longevity Palace.

Wei Ji speculates that the empress mother is also taking the initiative to show her favor, and it just so happens that he also wants to mention Lu Tiying's return to the palace, so he happily goes.

Evening, Longevity Palace.

As soon as Wei Kai entered the door, he heard the sound of silk and bamboo music, walked into the hall wonderingly, and saw someone dancing.

The dancers are graceful and skillful, which is quite amazing.

"The emperor is here—" Xiao Tiaozi still shouted.

The dancer was startled when he heard it, and stopped in a hurry, but twisted his feet, and fell to the ground with an "oops".

The empress dowager immediately said angrily: "Bold, why are you so reckless in front of the emperor, there are no rules, why don't you hurry up and ask the emperor to forgive you."

The woman hurriedly knelt down and said: "The girl's rudeness disturbed the holy car, and I ask the emperor to forgive me."

Seeing that she kept her head down, Wei Kai was also a little curious, but he still said with a big belly: "Forget it, you didn't mean it either."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" She quickly kowtowed, and said, "The emperor is so tolerant to the girls, and the girls are really grateful, and want to present a dance for the emperor to cheer the emperor up. Does the emperor have any dances that he wants to see?"

Unexpectedly, she would take the initiative to say that, Wei Kai was stunned for a moment, sat down beside the Empress Dowager, looked at her with interest, and said, "So confident in yourself?"

"Presenting a dance for the emperor is the wish of a girl who has practiced dancing since she was a child. Now that she has finally waited for this day, she naturally wants to perform a dance for the emperor at the risk of her life," she added.

Wei Kai nodded, looked at the Empress Dowager from the corner of the eye, smiled and said: "It's rare that you have such a heart, then I really have to watch it tonight, you are the best at dancing."

"Yes, Your Majesty." She saluted, then immediately swung her sleeves and jumped up in the hall.

And at this time, he finally raised his head and looked at Wei Kai with a smile on his face.

Wei Kai looked at it for a while, then turned to look at the Empress Dowager and asked, "Why is the Empress Dowager so upbeat today and asked people to dance for fun?"

The empress dowager said with a smile on her face: "Today, people come to dance to cheer up the fun. Firstly, it is to dispel the gloom of the harem during these days. Secondly, didn't Aijia often dance for your father when he was young? Yes, but if you look at them again, you can still find the shadows of those years."

Wei Yu nodded: "The queen mother should make this Longevity Palace more lively, don't just remember to burn incense and worship Buddha for her son all day long, the queen mother is still young, it's time to have more fun."

"Oh, my son is still filial." The empress dowager sighed.

"Oh, by the way, mother, there is one more thing..."

"Your Majesty, let us mother and son watch the dance to our heart's content, and put aside other worries." He deliberately interrupted his son.

Wei Kai really wanted to bring up the matter of Lu Tiying returning to the palace, but it was hard to mention it when she said so, so he could only nod in response.

After the girl finished dancing, another beautiful girl came to perform juggling, and a red handkerchief was twirled in her hand, as if she could understand human speech.

Wei Kai watched it interestingly, and his eyes were all attracted to it.

After this woman finished her performance, another beautiful woman came. She sang, and it seemed as if a yellow warbler flew into the room suddenly.The singing is melodious and melodious, just like the sounds of nature.

"Where did the queen mother find so many talented and beautiful women?" Wei Kai couldn't help asking.

Seeing that her son was finally attracted, the empress dowager was secretly relieved, and said with a smile: "Is there any? The Ai family looks very ordinary. If the emperor thinks it is good, you might as well pick a few and keep them by your side. They can relieve boredom and help you when you are tired." Add to the fun."

Wei Kai was startled, and looked at her in surprise.

The empress dowager immediately pointed to the woman who performed the dance just now and said, "How is she? The empress thinks that she dances better than the empress did back then."

The woman who was pointed at immediately looked shy, and secretly glanced at Wei Kai eagerly, her small appearance was indeed very charming.

Wei Kai smiled: "Okay, since the queen mother is so considerate of her son, wouldn't it be a disappointment to the mother's heart if the son refuses again."

"It's good that the emperor understands the painstaking efforts of the Ai family." The empress dowager smiled and waved at the woman, signaling her to come and serve Wei Kai immediately.

The woman understood, and immediately got up, walked to Wei Kai, knelt down, and poured wine for him respectfully.

Filling up the wine glass, he held it up carefully and said, "Please, Your Majesty."

Wei Kai looked at her pale fingers, and took an extra look before taking the wine glass.

The next eight women appeared on the stage one by one, and the empress dowager also pretended to be considerate of her son and asked him this and that, and took away the ones she liked.

As a result, Wei Kai ordered two more.One is a woman who looks a bit exotic and can perform sword dance; the other is a coquettish and charming woman who looks like the reincarnation of a vixen.

Unexpectedly, three of the eight were selected, and the empress dowager was also very satisfied.That's right, these women were sent by the Guan family.

When the dinner was over, the empress dowager also asked the three selected women to go to the Longevity Hall with Wei Gai to serve them.

The person was chosen by Wei Kai himself, so it is naturally difficult to say anything at this time, so let people follow him back to the Longevity Hall.

In the Longevity Hall, Wei Ji pampered the woman who started dancing that night.

The news reached the harem the next day, and both the empress dowager and Guan Yuju were overjoyed.As long as Wei Ji still dotes on other women, it will be fine. In this way, Lu Tiying can be gradually forgotten.

The next day, news spread that Wei Kai had favored another woman.

The next day, he favored another one.

The good news kept coming out, and the empress dowager and Guan Yuju finally felt relieved, feeling that this plan was too successful.

Before, I always wanted to ask the concubines in the harem to work harder to tie Wei Kai's heart, but now it seems that I made the wrong effort. Wei Kai's picture is fresh, and no matter how hard the old man works, it will be useless.

"This preference is exactly the same as that of the previous emperor." The empress dowager sighed.Back then, she also used this trick to let Wei Nanfeng's mother enter the palace, and managed to tie the heart of the late emperor.

Guan Yuzhen was also very happy, and immediately asked for help for his brother-in-law: "I will tell the Queen Mother that this matter can go so smoothly, thanks to my brother-in-law Rong Zishuo. It is he who has collected these beauties in such a short period of time and carefully trained them. It will soon attract the emperor."

The empress dowager nodded: "Well, he really contributed a lot to this matter, and the Ai family will help him speak a few words in front of the emperor."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Guan Yuyu hurriedly thanked her.

Of course, it is good for all the people in the court to be their own family members.

And then, for ten days in a row, news spread that Wei Kai favored those three stunning women in the Longevity Hall.

The news spread, and even many ministers in the court knew about it.Gu Zheng already knew it too.

Hearing this news, Gu Zheng was disappointed and helpless.Before, I always thought that he was sincere to Lu Tiying, and that he was both a Marquis and Empress, and his deep affection was admirable, but now it seems that it was just a fresh idea for a while.

On the contrary, it was Lu Tiying who risked her life to help him get rid of Du Changqing, led Luzhou female soldiers to fight against the rebels, and paid so much for him to secure the throne.In the end, he was defeated by several fresh beauties.

Even Gu Zhengji couldn't help sighing that Lu Tiying should have followed Wei Nanfeng back then.

After thinking about it, she decided to help Lu Tiying pave the way. She can't just have nothing and become the laughing stock of the world.

In the imperial study room, Gu Zheng had already met Wei Kai alone.

"Your Majesty, I received a letter from Ruyihou's sister, Deputy General Lu Xueying yesterday, saying that Luzhou's post-war restoration progress was very slow because of the lack of strong men. Kongsang Prefecture borrowed some strong labor to help."

Wei Kai nodded: "This matter is reasonable, let's play it."

"Yes, Your Majesty is Shengming. But Your Majesty, there is still a problem here. Even if someone picks young men from Mengzhou and Kongsangzhou to help Luzhou, they are not from Luzhou after all, and they will not do their best. , may still feel dissatisfied; secondly, because the restoration of Luzhou will affect the people of the two states, people in other states may say that the emperor is partial to Luzhou. Therefore, I think it is best to give a legitimate reason. "

"Oh? Then help me think of a legitimate reason to listen." Wei Kai also heard that there was something in his words and said deliberately.

Gu Zhengji cupped his hands: "Luzhou contributed a lot to suppressing the rebellion of the Du family, and Lu Tiying was awarded the title of Ruyihou because of her meritorious service, but this Ruyihou sounds like an official and a nobleman, but in fact, the people in the court We all know that there is not much real power compared to before. Therefore, Weichen thought that in order to prevent Ruyi from worrying about Luzhou while in the capital, and to make Luzhou become normal faster, it is better to make Mengzhou and Kongsang The states are all under the jurisdiction of Luzhou. In this way, it is justifiable for Luzhou to borrow people from Mengzhou and Kongsangzhou, and no one can say anything more."

Wei Ji thought for a while and said, "But Kongsang has 30 troops. If all of them are handed over to Luzhou, if something happens, who can take the responsibility?"

"The 30 army is still directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but the people and government affairs are handed over to Luzhou. In this way, the title of Ruyihou is a legitimate prince." Gu Zhengji said calmly.He just wanted to seek the greatest benefit for Lu Tiying while Wei Ji still had feelings for Lu Tiying and felt that he owed her something.

Wei Ji sighed: "I originally wanted to make her the queen, but I can fulfill this promise to her now. Well, let's give her Meng Zhou and Kong Sang to express my apology to her."

Gu Zheng has already cupped his hands: "My minister, Ru Yihou and the people of Luzhou, thanked the emperor."

Wei Ji looked at him: "You are really Lu Tiying's good brother-in-law and Luzhou's good son-in-law."

"The emperor's praise."
