After being forced to attack four old enemies

Under the leadership of the female officer, Chen Guangge and his party came to the Qianqing Hall where the Queen Mother was.

Xiao Shuyan sat on the couch and was already waiting.After seeing a group of officials, Xiao Shuyan's phoenix eyes flashed, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "What's the matter, my lords, come to my place?"

The leader was Chen Guangge, the doctor of imperial history. After bowing his hands to Xiao Shuyan, he showed a worried look on his brows, and sighed: "Of course it is for His Majesty to accept a concubine. Your Majesty is 25 years old, but he has not yet accepted a concubine. Failed to give birth to an heir. If this continues, it will only cause turmoil in the government and the public, and the hearts of the people will be uneasy!"

Xiao Shuyan smiled when she heard the words: "Your Majesty is no longer the former Majesty, how can I manage His Majesty's affairs now?"

Chen Guangge said: "The queen mother does not need to be humble. After all, the queen mother is your majesty's biological mother. Your majesty will naturally consider what you say. Besides, the matter of your majesty accepting a concubine can no longer be delayed. I am also worried about your majesty. If you have a queen mother, you can help in the harem." , I am waiting to speak to the court, and His Majesty may change his mind."

Xiao Shuyan didn't answer immediately, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was deep in thought.After a while, Xiao Shuyan smiled slightly and had an idea in her mind: "I can help you, but you have to allow me one request."

Chen Guangge: "Please speak, Queen Mother."

Xiao Shuyan said: "My elder brother has a little daughter. Since my elder brother's accident, my niece has been living a hard life outside. As an aunt, I don't feel at ease. I have to keep this little niece by my side, so I can feel at ease."

Chen Guangge knew immediately that Xiao Shuyan wanted her niece to enter the palace as a concubine.But as long as Xiao Shuyan agrees to help, sending her niece into the palace is not an embarrassing thing, so Chen Guangge agreed: "Then it's settled, Empress Dowager."

Xiao Shuyan said: "Naturally."

……

"Chen Guangge went to find the queen mother?"

Shu Quli was discussing matters with Xiangguo Lin Yan in the Tianyuan Hall, and he didn't shy away from hearing people report the news, and let him speak out in front of Xiangguo Lin Yan.

Shu Quli raised the corners of his lips: "How does Xiangguo view this matter?"

Lin Yan lowered his head and thought for a moment: "After all, the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother. If you put pressure on Your Majesty as the Queen Mother, and then let Chen Guangge and others take turns admonishing in the previous court, the power formed cannot be underestimated. Your Majesty may have to agree to this at that time." thing. But..."

Lin Yan's words paused slightly, and his eyes were filled with a little smile: "I shouldn't have intervened in His Majesty's private affairs, but I feel that Master Chen Guangge's worries are not unreasonable."

Shu Quli was tired from sitting, so he reclined on the bed, and looked at Lin Yan: "Since you shouldn't ask, then don't ask. The widow came to you to discuss the solution."

Lin Yan sternly said: "The solution is based on the views of the ministers. Your Majesty might as well just accept two concubines who close their eyes to block everyone's mouth."

Annoyance flashed between Shu Quli's brows, his eyes were slightly closed, he seemed to be asleep, thoughtful, and after a while, a laugh came out of his throat: "Forget it, let them go. These people seem to be thinking of others. In fact, I have my own plans in my heart, and I contacted the queen mother in private, thinking that I could coerce the widow. Let the widow see who can jump the highest!"

Seeing that Emperor Yan had already planned in his mind, Lin Yan bid farewell to Emperor Yan and withdrew from Tianyuan Hall after the conversation ended.

He walked out of Tianyuan Hall, walked through several corridors, and on the way to the Imperial Garden, he met the male favorite beside Emperor Yan.

He was slightly taken aback, his eyes paused for a while on this male favorite, he was a little curious about what kind of charm this male favorite had, so that Emperor Yan, who had insisted on not accepting concubines for many years, could keep him by his side.

It is late autumn, and it is gradually entering winter.Most of the non-cold-resistant flowers and plants withered.Only magnolia and chrysanthemums bloom in the imperial garden.

In a corner of the garden pond, a red maple tree bloomed fiery red, the red leaves fell all over the ground, and there were red leaves floating in the cold pond.

Hu Xinghe was right under the red maple tree, holding a chicken in his hand and eating it deliciously.His eyes were all on the chicken in his hand, and the desolate and beautiful scene around him couldn't compare to the fat chicken in his hand.

I saw Hu Xinghe biting the fat chicken's leg with one bite, half-closed his eyes, looking happy.

The corners of Lin Yan's mouth twitched slightly, he just felt that this Mr. Fox was eclectic and free-wheeling.He wanted not to disturb Hu Xinghe's taste for chicken, so he left quietly.But Hu Xinghe had already looked up and saw him, it would be rude to walk away like this.

Lin Yan then saluted Fox Xinghe slightly and said, "Young Master Fox."

He paused, and said with a smile: "Young master fox is really in a good mood."

Hu Xinghe recognized Lin Yan at a glance. He had seen Lin Yan before when he went to Emperor Yan's palace last time, and he still remembered that Emperor Yan called him Xiangguo.Hu Xinghe raised his hand and smiled brightly at Lin Yan: "Master Xiangguo."

After hesitating for a moment, Hu Xinghe looked at the roast chicken in his hand.It is rude to talk to someone with a roast chicken in his hand, but he is extremely reluctant to have Hu Xinghe throw away the roast chicken like this.

Lin Yan seemed to see his embarrassment, and the smile on his face was a little more sincere. Lin Yan cupped his hands and said: "Master Fox, I still have something to do, so I won't disturb the young master's elegant mood."

After Lin Yan finished speaking, Yiyi resigned.

Hu Xinghe looked at Lin Yan's back, tilted his head, and continued to eat the roast chicken.In recent days, Hu Xinghe was really bored in his glazed palace, and he couldn't leave the palace at will, so he set his sights on this imperial garden.After coming in for a few days, he often wandered in the imperial garden.

Lin Yan came out from the direction of Emperor Yan's bedroom, and he didn't know what important matter he was discussing with Emperor Yan.

After Hu Xinghe finished eating the roast chicken, he went back to the Glazed Palace by himself.The conversation between the two was watched by some palace people in the imperial garden.

At night, the palace servants around Hu Xinghe came to whisper to Hu Xinghe.After hearing this, Hu Xinghe frowned, revealing a thoughtful look.

This palace man was the spy that the Empress Dowager placed next to Hu Xinghe before. After being subdued by Hu Xinghe, he became a helper for Hu Xinghe.

The palace man Deng Qing told Hu Xinghe that someone in the court advised Emperor Yan to accept his concubine, and a minister visited the queen mother in private and asked the queen mother to help.

At this moment, Deng Qing has no second thoughts about Hu Xinghe.After getting along, Deng Qing found that although Hu Xinghe was usually informal, he was a rare good master who treated his servants very kindly. meaning.

He said this to Hu Xinghe because he really planned for Hu Xinghe, so that he could make preparations early.

Fox Xinghe wasn't very worried.

Because judging from Emperor Yan's temperament, he was definitely not the kind of king who could be coerced by his subjects.If Emperor Yan was coerced easily, he would have accepted a bunch of concubines under the advice of his courtiers, instead of the 25-year-old harem that is still empty like now.

In the next few days, Hu Xinghe heard that Emperor Yan had dealt with several ministers, instead of stopping the ministers' advice, it aroused public anger.The two parties had a stalemate for several days, and finally the matter of accepting the concubine was still nothing.

But the queen mother took her cousin's daughter into the harem under the pretext of missing her niece.

Emperor Yan had an extremely unpleasant quarrel with the officials before, and he really had no way to object to this matter.

The matter has been decided, the Empress Dowager's niece will enter the palace soon.

Hu Xinghe was taking a bath, with wet hair scattered behind his back, and water droplets hanging from his eyelashes, lying on the edge of the tub, listening to Deng Qing chanting in his ear.

Seeing that Hu Xinghe didn't respond, Deng Qing became worried instead: "Your Excellency, are you not in a hurry at all, everyone knows that the Empress Dowager's niece is here for the position of empress concubine."

Hu Xinghe rested his head on his arm, drowsy from the soak: "What's the use of being anxious, can I still break her legs to prevent her from entering the palace?"

Deng Qingdao: "But my lord, you can't just not worry at all, you won't even go to His Majesty's place after coming in for a few days..."

The tip of Hu Xinghe's nose moved, and he snorted, "Your Majesty has been annoyed for the past few days. I'm going to hang around all the time. If I encounter bad luck, I will be in trouble."

Deng Qing is not a roundworm in Hu Xinghe's belly, so naturally he doesn't know what Hu Xinghe's plan is.

The reason why Hu Xinghe didn't go to Emperor Yan's place these few days was because he used the trick of playing hard to get.After sleeping with Emperor Yan a few days ago, Hu Xinghe was worried that if he went too frequently and progressed too fast, Emperor Yan would instinctively resist.Simply retreat to advance, and disappear for a few days when Emperor Yan is most interested in him, so that Emperor Yan will miss him.

If Emperor Yan had such a place in his heart, he should come to him in the next few days.

Hu Xinghe's little calculation in his heart was shrewd.

Seeing that he couldn't make sense and couldn't win against Hu Xinghe, Deng Qing sighed: "My lord, the water is getting cold, I'll get you clothes."

Deng Qing went around the screen and walked out of the room. As soon as he got out of the room, he saw a figure approaching from the gate of the Liuli Palace, he was shocked, and just about to call out the man's name, the man raised his hand to stop him.

Deng Qing swallowed the words into his throat, and the previous worry was swept away, replaced by excitement and surprise.He didn't expect Emperor Yan to appear in the Liuli Palace!

Shu Quli only brought a few palace servants with him this time.

He didn't let the palace servants say anything, and went straight to the room where Hu Xinghe was bathing.Through a veiled screen, Shu Quli saw Hu Xinghe's back.The shadow is reflected on the screen, like a picture drawn with ink.

The arms of the person in the painting lying on the bathtub, the head leaning on the arms, and the long hair hanging down the back are all clearly reflected on the screen.

He didn't speak, he walked around the screen and saw Hu Xinghe lying in the bathtub.With his back turned to him, Hu Xinghe thought it was Deng Qing, a palace official, who had entered the room. He hummed in a nasal voice: "Deng Qing, give me a shoulder squeeze."

Shu Quli's eyes were like black ink surging, and violent emotions appeared in his heart instantly.His aura suddenly cooled down, and it seemed that even the air was low, silently gestating a storm.

Shu Quli's eyes dimly fell on Hu Xinghe's white and thin back, and the two butterfly bones were particularly conspicuous because of the movement of lying on his stomach, like a butterfly spreading its wings to fly.

When Shu Quli thought of someone stroking Hu Xinghe's skin with his hands, he felt intense unhappiness in his heart. He just wanted to chop off his hands and goug out his eyes for the person who had touched the skin and seen the back.

Seeing that no one moved for a long time, Hu Xinghe raised his voice a little: "What are you doing, hurry up!"

Shu Quli stared at Hu Xinghe's back with his dark and delicate eyes, pursed his lips and walked forward without saying a word, he condescendingly stretched out his snow-white and slender fingers, and touched Hu Xinghe's shoulder with an attitude of charity superior.

Hu Xinghe shrank his neck and let out a soft cry: "It's so cold!"

He turned his head back with a smile, and poured a handful of warm water on the person standing behind him: "Wash your face!"

Emperor Yan who was caught off guard by being splashed with water: "..."

Hu Xinghe who saw clearly who he was splashing on: "..."
