After rebirth, the empress was spoiled by the emperor's uncle like a little girl

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty live long and well."

A Bao stepped forward, respectfully performed the imperial ceremony, and helped the old emperor get out of the sedan chair.

The old emperor merely glanced at the gloomy West Courtyard and turned to enter the library in the backyard of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

The library is five stories high. Standing on the top floor, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Imperial Medical Bureau.

The palace servants brought the tea set and then left quietly.

A Bao was unsure of the old emperor's intention, so he could only quietly make some red ginseng tea. The fire was burning brightly, the spring water soon boiled, and the ginseng fragrance was light and elegant.

The old emperor suddenly asked, "You seem to be very close to your uncle Feng Ran these days."

On the day he was crowned as the crown prince, Concubine Wen said to Abao, "From now on, until your father dies, the entire palace will be your father's eyes and ears."

Po witnessed the true meaning of this with his own eyes.

She rescued Xuanyuan Fengran from the Western Prison that day, causing a big commotion. Gu Qijue probably had secretly complained to the old emperor a long time ago.

During the past few days, Xuanyuan Fengran was looked after in the Imperial Medical Bureau. Someone must have written down everything in a secret letter and placed it in front of the old emperor's desk.

She did not investigate the relationship between Xuanyuan Fengran and the assassin, but served him soup and medicine, and was very sincere.

The old emperor ascended the throne in an ignominious way, and the five previous princes all rebelled. It was not surprising that he suspected that she was colluding with Xuanyuan Fengran and wanted to send him to the west as soon as possible.

A Bao knelt heavily and apologized, "Father, I acted without permission, please punish me!"

The old emperor's eyes were like scimitars, and he seemed to be smiling, "Oh? What did you do?"

"Your son has read the summary of the military and political affairs of the Northern Frontier in the past twenty years. If you kill Uncle Feng Ran, the 600,000 iron cavalry of the Northern Frontier will create another butcher king."

"It is better to surrender than to kill."

“But I remember my father’s teachings - governing people is also governing their minds.” Kneeling on the ground, A Bao broke out in a cold sweat. “Uncle Feng Ran has been on the battlefield for ten years, killing countless people, and his mind is unusually strong.”

"Therefore, if you want to subdue Uncle Feng Ran, you must first conquer his heart."

The old emperor's eyes flashed, "... continue speaking."

"The assassination case just gave me an opportunity." A Bao was so nervous that she almost forgot to breathe. The next words she said were inspired by Pei Guichen.

"The best way to control a person's heart is with love."

"I want to make Uncle Feng Ran fall in love with me, and then use Uncle Feng Ran to indirectly control the cavalry of the Northern Frontier."

The afternoon sun was bright and warm, but the thick snow on the windowsill never melted.

A Bao lowered his head humbly. He could only see boiling water overflowing from the stove not far away, sizzling and extinguishing the charcoal fire.

The library was dead silent for a long time.

The old emperor suddenly burst into laughter, "You are worthy of being my good daughter!"

A Bao's tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed.

This level is considered passed.

From now on, if she gets close to Xuanyuan Fengran, it will be like she is flirting with the emperor's uncle on orders, and she won't have to avoid others on purpose.

The old emperor was very busy with government affairs, but he took time out to admonish the crown princess, but he received an unexpected surprise.

Then he remembered that as a father, he should care about his daughter's lifelong affairs, so he asked, "What are your plans, Pei Guichen of the Pei family?"

"Pei Guichen saved my life." Ah Bao pretended to be shy like a little girl, "Father, I want to take him into the East Palace."

The old emperor was very satisfied with Abao's answer.

All of his daughter's thoughts were controlled by him. He smiled with wrinkles on the corners of his eyes, "Okay, since you like him, you can keep him if you want."

Abao knelt down and kowtowed to express his gratitude.

The old emperor did not stay long and returned to the palace with satisfaction.

A Bao rubbed his sore knees, stood up and was about to go downstairs, but he caught a glimpse of a shadow out of the corner of his eye.

She quickly chased after him, but the afterimage disappeared in front of her in a flash, leaving behind only a jade button that fell in a hurry.

A Bao leaned over to pick it up, spread it in his palm and examined it carefully. The jade was of excellent quality, pure and transparent. Even the pendant of the jade buckle was made of black silk from the heavenly silkworm, which is one in a million.

Daqi has always had a custom of wearing jade buckles to pray for peace and ward off evil spirits. But a jade buckle with such exquisite workmanship and luxurious materials must belong to a wealthy or noble person.

She touched the warm jade button, but her heart was cold. So who was the afterimage that eavesdropped just now? Could it be Pei Guichen?
