Zhonggong Order GL

Concubine Jing will be impatiently interrupted by concubine Jing when she chats and flirts with a married woman, and because of her status as the mother of a country, concubine Jing always speaks sharply, sometimes even to the emperor. As time goes by, Concubine Jing has become the psychological shadow of the married woman.Most of these official wives are from the royal family, at least they are related to each other. They are used to using some formal words to deal with some official occasions, but Concubine Jing doesn't like this, which makes everyone very embarrassed.Now when they heard that they were going to visit Concubine Jing, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, no one wanted to touch the bad luck of Yongshou Palace during the Chinese New Year, so they became quieter for a while.Everyone was on tenterhooks, wanting to curry favor with the Queen, but also really afraid of Concubine Jing.

Unexpectedly, the Empress smiled again and said, "I'm confused. There's no reason for someone to visit the concubine on the first day of the new year. It's just that I am the master of the harem, but I can't ignore Yongshou." Palace. That’s all, I hope you will take care of me, I will come whenever I go.”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, "The empress is benevolent and benevolent, which is admirable." It was nothing more than some praises, and finally watched the empress leave, "Respectfully send the empress!"

After all, Sangzhi woke up earlier than Concubine Jing, but still had a severe headache, and the disgusting taste in his mouth after a hangover made Sangzhi almost vomit.She hurriedly dressed and planned to go to the yard to fetch water to wash up, but she didn't expect Sixi to come in with hot water as soon as there was any movement in her place, "Sister, you're awake!"

Sangzhi glanced at her, "Thank you." She didn't want to talk too much with the smell in her mouth, she quickly rinsed her mouth with green salt, and then washed her face.Sixi thoughtfully handed over a face cloth, and Sang Zhi couldn't help turning her head and said with a smile, "You are so young, but you are so thoughtful."

Sixi was very happy when she heard her praise her.

However, before Sang Zhi wiped his face clean, the eunuch's report suddenly came——the queen empress has arrived!

Sixi was so panicked that she almost knocked over the basin for washing her face, but Sang Zhi supported her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the empress is very good."

But Sixi was still so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe out, and fell to her knees directly.

Sang Zhi doesn't care about her, this is the rule of the palace.She carefully put the facecloth back, and greeted the door, whether she did not kneel down.Sixi on the side looked at her secretly, feeling a strange feeling in her heart, she really thought that Sangzhi was amazing.

As soon as the empress came in, she saw that the hair on Sangzhi's forehead was still wet, and she didn't look at Sixi who was kneeling, she just said lightly, "Pingshen, you all go down."

This "you" naturally includes Cai Wanyun.Now that Cai Wanyun has realized herself, she backed out silently, and Sixi also bowed to back out, but her eyes were always locked on Sang Zhi, and the strange feeling in her heart became more and more intense.

After everyone retreated, the queen breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily, "Did you drink last night?"

Sang Zhi paused, and wanted to subconsciously ask her how she knew, but when she thought that Su Le was the queen, she changed her words, "Fortunately, I woke up earlier, so I can wash my face and mouth first."

The queen took a step forward, took her hand and asked softly, "Is Concubine Jing making things difficult for you?"

"No, Concubine Jing is still very talkative."

"She is easy to talk?" The queen looked at Sang Zhi in surprise for a while, then suddenly said, "How did I forget that your mouth can bring the dead back to life."

Sang Zhi smiled, "Empress Empress, are you praising me?" As he spoke, his fingers had already penetrated into Empress Empress's palm and began to caress.

Empress Empress blushed, she wanted to break free but she couldn't, so she bit her lip and changed the subject, "Then have you comforted Concubine Jing?"

Sang Zhi paused, sighed, "for now."

"Ok?"

"This kind of pain cannot be soothed by others. I told her so much, but it was just planting a seed in her heart." Sang Zhi was a little sad, "The pain will still hurt, and she will still feel the pain. Bitterness, I told her that I just hoped that she would have an idea to get through when she was in despair. No matter how good the reason is, it is only a reason after all. No one can become a Buddha suddenly. The so-called sudden enlightenment is just the accumulation of previous practice is enough But Concubine Jing is different, I don’t know how long it will take for her to get over the pain of losing her lover.” As she spoke, she sighed again, “Knowledge is easier than action, but knowing is easier and action is harder!”

Although the queen was worried about Concubine Jing, she felt more distressed for Sang Zhi at the moment, and said softly, "We will do our best." Then he said, "What reason did you say to Concubine Jing last night, tell me later. "

How could Sang Zhi not know her intentions, and said with a smile, "Truths are different, it is useful to Concubine Jing, but it may be absurd to Empress Empress. I don't want to slap myself."

"Why is truth a fallacy, I want to listen to it!"

"I'm not a saint, and I can tell universally applicable truths," Sang Zhi couldn't help laughing, "It's just a matter of explaining it to each person. How dare you tell the empress about such fallacies! If you really want to hear it—" Sangzhi approached her ear, and his breath brushed Su Le's ear, "I have something to tell you."

The queen's face was hot, and she pushed her, "I'm going back!"

"It's not over yet?"

"After the dinner." The queen straightened her expression and asked her, "Are you going back to Kunning Palace?"

Sang Zhi looked back at Concubine Jing who was still sleeping, "How about I stay here with her? Go back after dinner, what do you think?"

"That's fine." The Empress said, "After all, it's Chinese New Year." She looked at Sangzhi, "Then I'm leaving."

At noon, the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year is strong.Sang Zhi didn't dare to cross the line, but looked at Su Le's back and felt very reluctant.Her eyes were almost glued to the queen.

Before reaching the door, the queen stopped, turned around and stood still, looking at her with a smile.

Sang Zhi's heart moved, she stepped forward to grab her hand, put it on her lips and kissed it, "I'll wait for you to come back at night."

"Okay." The queen reached out and wiped a drop of water beside her hair, then turned around and left dignifiedly without saying a word or staying.

Sang Zhi watched the queen leave all the time, couldn't help reaching out his hand to touch the place where the queen had just brushed, and couldn't help smiling.However, she realized more and more clearly in her heart that she must not stay in Kunning Palace now.

With glances, smiles, and gestures, the affection between her and the queen cannot be hidden at all.

However, the current situation does not allow them not to hide.

If you can't hide it, you can only avoid it.

Being sentimental will only ruin them both.

Sangzhi felt both sweet and bitter in his heart, but felt that this kind of sweet-like bitterness was unbearable yet willing.

"Sule...Sule." She murmured, thinking to herself, it's time to make a good plan.

☆, do your best

Concubine Jing was so drunk that she fell into a coma for a whole day, and barely woke up until night fell.Concubine Jing, who had a splitting headache, opened her eyes and saw Sang Zhi and Sixi chatting at the entrance of the main hall of Yongshou Palace.Naturally, she recognized Sixi, but this new little girl was trembling every time she faced her, but now she was chatting with Sang Zhi with a smile on her face.Not knowing what Sang Zhi said, Concubine Jing only saw the little girl's adoring eyes and smiling into a crescent moon.This scene made Concubine Jing's heart twitch.

In the depths of distant memory, when she was a young girl, Jinxiu also looked at her with those eyes.Even here in Yongshou Palace, when she and Jinxiu sat in the courtyard basking in the sun when it was cold, Jinxiu always looked at her with eyes full of eyes - full of eyes that she used to take for granted but now makes her heart rip out every time she thinks about it.

Concubine Jing gritted her teeth and closed her eyes with a forbearing expression.She was getting more and more headaches.

What she said to Sangzhi last night is still in her ears, but now the pain is more like tarsal maggots, she really wants to die.However, a different kind of seed had already been born in her heart - Immortality, Absolute, Impossible to die.Her Jinxiu just left without knowing her life or death.She herself has been trapped in this deep palace all her life, and she has spent her whole life here, so is she going to die like this?No!She wants to live, live well.Concubine Jing's eyes sharpened, she would get back what the palace owed her and what the people here owed her!She must not die so easily. Such a death will make her face her ancestors in the future!How can she face Jinxiu?

Suicide is the final return of the weak.But even if she, Borzigit Meng Guqing, died, she would never die so worthless!

Concubine Jing clenched her fists with all her strength, her palms were bruised, but she finally suppressed her emotions slowly.When she opened her eyes again and saw the two people sitting at the door, the corners of her lips curled up, and she couldn't help but think, this mulberry branch is really interesting.No matter who it is, as long as they are in front of Sangzhi, they seem to be able to let go of their pretense and be happy.Concubine Jing narrowed her eyes, thinking about what is so special about Sang Zhi that it allows everyone in the palace to get along with her in peace and comfort.

Concubine Jing rubbed her brows while silently looking at them.

Finally, Sang Zhi frowned and noticed the gaze behind her.Turning around, seeing Concubine Jing staring at him deeply, Sang Zhi's heart trembled inexplicably.Sixi was only interested in chatting with Sangzhi, and was so focused on Sangzhi that she didn't notice that Concubine Jing had woken up. Now, following Sangzhi's gaze, she immediately got up in fright, and tremblingly came to Concubine Jing. In front of him, "Slave maid greets the empress."

Concubine Jing casually said "Yes", and Sixi hurriedly waited for her to get up.

Seeing her wake up, Sang Zhi couldn't wait any longer, so she stepped forward and said, "Msg Concubine Jing, it's getting late, servants should go back."

"Okay." Concubine Jing closed her eyes, and Sixi quickly helped her get dressed.Sang Zhi was about to leave when Concubine Jing suddenly said, "You'd better go back to Chengqian Palace."

Sang Zhi was stunned, and just about to ask why, Concubine Jing said, "There are no rules in this palace, the rules are just for face."

Sang Zhi seemed to understand, but because he really missed the Queen, he privately ordered Si Xi to take good care of Concubine Jing and left in a hurry.

It stands to reason that the queen will be back soon at this time.Sang Zhi was worried, and walked quickly.Coincidentally, before she was allowed to walk to Longfu Gate, she saw the queen's guard of honor.But there was a dirty young man following behind the queen, Sang Zhi took a closer look, wasn't that young man Xuan Ye? !Her heart skipped a beat, and she finally remembered what happened to Xuan Ye.

But she was walking alone against the wall, and she was still in the dark, so others couldn't see her clearly.But Sangzhi saw it clearly. The queen sighed softly, wiped the dust off Xuanye's face, stroked his head and said, "San elder brother can come to Ben Gong if you need anything in the future. Go and provoke your royal father again, you know?"

The young man looked aggrieved, but he still replied in a low voice, "I have thanked my mother, and I have obeyed the order."

Seeing that he was clearly wronged but still stubborn, the queen couldn't help shaking her head, took his hand and said, "Take me back to Kunning Palace first, and I will send someone to take care of your mother's matter."

Xuan Ye immediately knelt down on the ground, "My son... thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness."

"Get up," the queen couldn't bear it, after all, she felt that the third elder brother was just a child, and it was pitiful to be scolded indiscriminately by Shunzhi.She helped Xuanye up, took his hand and went back to Kunning Palace, and told the people around her, "Go and prepare water for the third elder brother to bathe."

The people who waited beside him left in response.

Sangzhi saw it from a distance, and felt a strange feeling in his heart.She didn't say anything to Su Le, but Su Le's nature is simple and honest, so she has never been strict with palace people, let alone a child!Seeing Xuan Ye's appearance, obviously very grateful to the queen, Sang Zhi felt a little unspeakable, she suddenly felt that maybe she didn't need to say anything deliberately, according to the queen's nature, it was enough to make Xuan Ye like her.Sang Zhi followed in with a complicated mood, and saw that the queen asked someone to bring delicious food to Xuan Ye, and wiped his face with a handkerchief. His voice was not gentle, but it was majestic enough to be the mother of a country, "You are a man, In this palace, you must know how to judge the situation. If you blindly use the stubbornness of the strong, you will always be the one who suffers. Is this what your master taught you?"

Xuan Ye's face turned red, "I would like to obey my mother's instruction." In this palace, not only women will compete for favor, but children will also compete for favor.What kid doesn't want to be pampered by his parents?It's a pity that Emperor Shunzhi only had Concubine Dong E and the deceased Prince Rong in his eyes. Other children were like other women, and he couldn't get into his eyes.But the young Xuanye has a stubborn temper, the more his father ignored him, the more he wanted to do something to win his attention.Unfortunately, Emperor Shunzhi noticed him, but he only noticed the naughty behavior of the bear boy, which made Emperor Shunzhi even more tired of him.Originally, Emperor Shunzhi himself was young, so how could he have the heart of being a father!The emperor himself is still rebellious against the empress dowager every day, so it is natural to be more upset when he meets a bear child.As a result, the harm caused to Xuanye was even greater, and even the queen couldn't stand it.

The queen sighed softly again, patted his head and said, "I don't want to teach you a lesson, but I just hope that you will know how to protect yourself in the future. If you are as reckless as today, the only one who will be implicated is your mother-in-law." .Okay, go take a shower first, this face is dirty, like a little cat."

Xuan Ye knelt down to thank the gift, and was taken down by the palace servants to take a bath.

The queen rubbed her brows tiredly, and was about to ask if Sang Zhi was back, when she looked up and saw the person leaning against the door, the queen was happy, "You're back!"

Only then did Sang Zhi go forward, rubbing her temples consciously, "Are you tired?"

"Too tired." The queen instantly relaxed, closed her eyes and handed herself over to Sang Zhi with confidence.

Sang Zhi couldn't help feeling distressed, the closer she got closer to her, the queen half-nuggled into Sang Zhi's arms.Sang Zhi didn't stop moving his hands, and asked again, "What's wrong with the third elder brother?"

"Xuan Ye?" The queen sighed softly again, "This child is also suffering. His mother caught a cold a while ago, and she was probably burnt out and talking nonsense, muttering to call the emperor. But the emperor's thoughts, alas, you also I know." The queen opened her eyes quietly, "Xuan Ye had his own thoughts, and specially invited the emperor to see his mother-in-law during the dinner tonight, which made the emperor furious. Concubine Tong was not favored in the first place, and she has been a concubine since she entered the palace. Concubine, she was promoted to Concubine Tong after she gave birth to Xuan Ye. The emperor was afraid that they had forgotten their mother and son, how could he hear Xuan Ye's resignation, and directly reprimanded Tong Jia's bad intentions for teaching the third elder brother, Tong Jia's words could not be argued He was so frightened that he fainted, Xuan Ye was a serious child, and he was still arguing, how could the emperor listen! If it wasn't for the sake of the Chinese New Year, I'm afraid he would be severely punished."

Sang Zhi listened silently, then asked again, "Why did he come back with you?"

"I can't see it anymore," the queen frowned, "I really feel sorry for his filial piety. Besides, the matter of the harem should have been taken care of by me, the queen, so I stopped it."

"I see, Xuan Ye seems to like you quite a bit."

"I like him very much too," the queen smiled, "Xuan Ye is kind-hearted. Although the child is stubborn, he is not evil-hearted, but he is upright. In the past, I will try my best to help him if I can help him. Xuan Ye is a smart man. Child, I understand it in my heart, probably seeing that I like him, so he is kind of close to me." He lowered his voice again, "Concubine Tong is not much older than me, if I have a child, it should be about this age."

Sang Zhi's heart skipped a beat, his hands froze, "You want a child?"

The queen was stunned, and then shook her head, "I don't want my child to live in the palace." Only after being in the palace do I know the danger.

"..." Sang Zhi was silent for a long time, then smiled again, "Since you like him, you should call him to Kunning Palace more often in the future."

The queen smiled and shook her head, "If you like it, you like it, but you don't need to call it. He is an elder brother and cannot be spoiled." She also said, "It's a pity that he is a concubine, and Concubine Tong is not favored. She has suffered a lot of grievances. I just hope In the future, he can have real talents and work hard, and at least he will be a prince."

Sang Zhi smiled with a complex expression, thinking to himself, he is not just a prince, but in the future he will be a generation of wise kings who will create a prosperous age of Kang and Qian!So he stared at him for a while and said, "Why don't you keep him in the Kunning Palace? Isn't this considered a legitimate son?"

The queen's complexion changed, and she hurriedly said, "You're talking nonsense again." If the queen had an heir, he would be the eldest son according to the rule, and he would inherit the throne in the future.What's more, the most favored Prince Rong has passed away, if the Empress wants Xuan Ye to come to Kunning Palace at this time, how can she not be criticized?What's more--the empress calmed down, "Concubine Tong is still alive, how can she steal people's heart and soul." Even if she needs an heir, she is absolutely unwilling to use this method to snatch other people's children.The queen's benevolence is really incomparable to others in this regard.

Sang Zhi didn't expect so much at the moment, she only thought about getting the queen to get closer to Xuan Ye, but she didn't expect that there were so many powerful relationships in it.Then I heard the queen say softly, "Xuan Ye is a good boy, but his roots are weak. If I force him to come, I'm afraid I will destroy him. It's always hard for a son-in-law to have a safe life. Why bother. He can be a prince in the future, and he will live forever. That's fine too."

When the queen talked about this, Sang Zhi didn't know how to continue persuading her.She can't tell the queen that this third elder brother will be the emperor in the future, right?

However, since he couldn't work hard with the queen, he might not be able to work with Xuan Ye.Sang Zhi thought to himself, it seems that Xuan Ye really respected the queen, and it must not be difficult to make him love the queen a little more.

The queen's kindness to Xuan Ye was a natural kindness, and Xuan Ye responded to her with pure respect.But Sang Zhi has some ulterior secrets, although she can be kind to Xuan Ye, but her kindness makes her feel a little embarrassed.

After a while, Xuan Ye, who was clean and refreshed after bathing, came to pay his respects to the queen, who told him not to be too polite.Sang Zhi watched from the side, and felt that although the queen liked Xuan Ye, she didn't show it clearly, probably because she was used to this indifferent way to others, so she seemed neither far nor close.Sang Zhi sighed in his heart, and personally delivered the cut fruit to Xuan Ye, "Third Brother, please use it."

While the queen was going to take a shower and change clothes, Sang Zhi asked Xuan Ye, "Third brother, what do you think of the queen?"

Xuan Ye answered seriously while eating the fruit, "The empress's mother respects the world, she can set an example for the world."

"..." Sang Zhi's mouth twitched, thinking to himself, such a young child can speak official Chinese so well, so he asked in other words, "Do you like Empress Dowager?"

"Naturally." Xuan Ye put down the fruit and said seriously, "The Queen's Lady treats me and my Queen's mother very well, and the Queen's Lady is a good person."

Sang Zhi smiled, pretending to ask casually, "Then, what will you do if someone bullies the empress?"

Xuan Ye narrowed his eyes, looked at her and said, "Who told you to ask such a question?"

That expression is not what a seven-year-old child should have.Sang Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly came to his senses, knowing that he might have underestimated the future Qing emperor.On the contrary, she felt relieved, if Xuan Ye had enough discernment ability at this time, it would be easier to communicate.She said, "Kun Ning Palace has been neglected all the time, doesn't Third Prince know?"

Xuan Ye paused, "My mother-in-law has also been neglected all the time. Apart from Chengqian Palace, it's not that she is neglected in this palace."

"But the empress is the only one who treats you sincerely." Sang Zhi said bluntly, "Just now the empress chatted with the slaves, saying that she likes the third elder brother very much, and thinks that the third elder brother is kind-hearted and has the demeanor of a king."

Xuan Ye's face immediately turned gloomy, "Where did you come from? How dare you talk nonsense!" However, his heart was beating wildly. No one had ever told him that he had the demeanor of a king.His mother-in-law was of low status and was not loved by the emperor, and he himself was a concubine's prince, so the word "king" should not have anything to do with him no matter what.

Sang Zhi was silent for a long time, and knelt down in front of him, "Slave Sang Zhi, everything you said is true. The empress loves the third elder brother very much in her heart, and she also feels sorry for Concubine Tong. It's just that the empress is in the middle palace, so she naturally wants The water in the bowl is level, so there should be no bias." He said again, "I just think that I should let you know how much the empress loves you, even if the emperor can't see you, but at least the empress——the empress really loves you. Third Elder Brother, you are in the palace, so you naturally know how precious it is to have a person who truly loves you. The servants are bold, hearing that Third Elder Brother has been wronged today, so I specially tell you, just to let Third Elder Brother know, except Other than the emperor, there are people who really love you. And the emperor—" Sang Zhi lowered his voice, "Of course the third elder brother also knows that the emperor does not love anyone except Chengqian Palace. Why should the third elder brother be unwilling to be reconciled to the emperor? , it’s better to cherish the people in front of you.”

Xuan Ye stared deeply at Sang Zhi, and said quietly, "You are a bold court lady. I don't know that there is someone like you in Kunning Palace." He leaned over and looked down at Sang Zhi, A playful smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "However, it's interesting. I admire you very much. I always like people who are outspoken and loyal." He squeezed Sang Zhi's chin, forcing Sang Zhi to look at him.Sang Zhi was not afraid, she looked straight at the seven-year-old boy in front of her, and after a long time, Xuan Ye's lips burst into a smile, "Let's be flat. I used to think that here in Kunning Palace, there is no hard-nosed person around the queen mother." , I will inevitably have to suffer more. I didn’t expect that there is a person like you now, very good, very good,” he raised his eyebrows, “Loyal and brave, with one heart and one heart, Sang Zhi, I remember you.”

"I don't want the third elder brother to remember," Sang Zhi said flatly, "I just want to ask, the empress loves you so much, if one day the empress is bullied, would the third elder brother be willing to help?"

Xuan Ye was stunned for a moment, moved his lips and said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid I have more than enough heart and not enough energy." He thought of what happened at the dinner party today, and couldn't help but feel gray in his heart.An unfavored prince can't even help his mother-in-law, let alone others!

Sang Zhi's expression remained the same, "If one day, third elder brother, you can cover the sky with one hand, the servants dare to ask, will you help me?"

"Cover the sky with one hand?" Xuan Ye suddenly opened his eyes wide, his complexion changed a few times, just about to deny it, he heard Sang Zhi emphasize - "If."

Xuan Ye's heart fluttered, and he raised his head and said, "If there is such a day, I will naturally do my best to protect the people I want to protect!"

Sang Zhi couldn't help but tighten his throat, and then asked, "Dare to ask, is the empress the one you want to protect?"

"Naturally." Xuan Ye looked proud, "I am not an ungrateful person."

Hearing his words, Sang Zhi kowtowed deeply to him, "My servant thanked the third elder brother on behalf of the empress." After she kowtowed, she said with a choked smile, "The empress did not hurt the wrong person."

She felt a little relieved at last.No matter what happens in the future, at least after Xuan Ye ascends the throne, the life of the empress will not be difficult.Day after day, Sangzhi felt insecure.How could a woman who fell in love with the emperor feel safe!With the example of Concubine Jing before, Sang Zhi didn't know what would happen in the future, and she didn't know how far she could go with the Queen, she was uneasy.However, all she can do to deal with this anxiety is to try her best to plan a possible future.

After the empress came out of the bath, she saw Xuan Ye looking at the mulberry branch with interest, and felt strange in her heart.She walked to Xuan Ye's seat, followed Xuan Ye's gaze, and asked, "What are you looking at?"

After Xuan Ye saluted, he said with a smile, "Emperor Niang, I think you are very interesting as a court lady." He still kept his eyes on Sang Zhi, and suddenly he looked at the Queen and asked, "I wonder if Huang Er Niang can put you in the palace?" How many days does she lend to Erchen?"

As soon as these words came out, Sang Zhi was taken aback, and the queen was also stunned.Then he couldn't laugh or cry, and when he looked at Sangzhi, he secretly gave her a reproachful look, and then said to Xuanye with a gentle expression, "Other people can do it, but Sangzhi can't."

"Why?" Xuan Ye was puzzled.

Seeing that the queen couldn't make up a reason, Sang Zhi thought about Concubine Jing's words, and replied casually, "Respond to what Brother San said, because the slaves are going to Chengqian Palace."

The queen froze and turned to look at her, "What?"

☆、Su Sixteen

Even Xuan Ye showed surprise, "Chengqian Palace?"

Facing the queen's sudden stern gaze, Sang Zhi bowed his head and said, "Go back to the empress, go back to the third elder brother, that's right." She said in a low voice, "After all, the servants came from the Chengqian Palace, and the imperial concubine treats the slaves as much as a mountain. Now that the imperial concubine and empress are in poor health, if the servants don't go back to serve them, they will feel uneasy."

"You—" the queen was about to get angry, her eyes glanced at Xuan Ye, and she suppressed her emotions and said to Xuan Ye first, "It's getting late, come here, and send the third elder brother back to the palace."

Xuanye is a winky person, seeing that the situation is not right, especially looking at the anger that cannot be suppressed from the corners of the empress's eyes and brows, he has no reason not to back down, so he salutes, "I will leave." Before leaving, he said with a complicated expression. He glanced at Sangzhi.

After the palace servants sent the third elder brother away, the empress said again, "Everyone else will step down." Naturally, only the empress and Sangzhi were left in Kunning Palace.

The queen was furious, and sat down with a cold face, "What did you just say?"

"Su Le—" Sang Zhi stepped forward and stood still in front of her, but Su Le ignored her with a blank expression.Sangzhi knelt down and asked, "Can you listen to me?"

"Who allowed you to go to Chengqian Palace?" The queen gritted her teeth angrily, "You still think of me?!"

Sang Zhi said hastily, "I wanted to discuss it with you first, but the third brother was here just now, so I had to."

"What does it have to do with him!" The Queen said with a sneer as her chest rose and fell, "I'd like to see what you can come up with."

Sang Zhi sighed, "The third elder brother is always an outsider, isn't he?"

The queen didn't answer, it was a tacit consent.

Sang Zhi thought for a while, then asked, "Who usually teaches him?"

"Naturally, he is a talented scholar invited by the imperial court."

"What else?" Sang Zhi frowned, and asked tentatively, "Is he on good terms with the Empress Dowager?" Mainly because he thought that this boy would be Emperor Kangxi in the future, and vaguely remembered that the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang seemed to have raised him, She can't remember exactly, but now that the real person is in front of her eyes, she dare not act rashly.

The empress was stunned, moved her lips and said, "Naturally. The Empress Dowager has always been strict with him, and often sent Aunt Su Ma to supervise his studies."

Sangzhi let out a long breath, "That's it."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"Su Le," Sang Zhi sighed, "the day I followed you back to Kunning Palace, the queen mother asked me to work for her. Gong..." She finally disappeared for a while, "Can I disobey the queen mother's order?" Seeing that the queen was about to retort, Sang Zhi continued, "Don't talk about you, the current situation, you Not only can you not fight against the queen mother for me, but you must obey the queen mother in every way."

"Since we want to take it slowly, we must not act recklessly. If we can't bear it, we will make great plans." Sang Zhi continued, "You are fledgling now, and all the power in your hand depends on the Queen Mother. If you anger the Queen Mother, I'm afraid it will hurt yourself. , yes or no?"

Although the queen was reluctant, she had to admit this fact.

Seeing this situation, Sang Zhi couldn't help but secretly sighed, so he said, "So what we have to do now is not to startle the snake."

Now it was the empress's turn to sigh softly, "I understand what you said. The matter of seeking power has to be done slowly. The empress dowager is now in good health and is admired by the ministers of the court. Even the emperor has to bear with her."

"That's the point." Sang Zhi said with a smile, "The Emperor has been trying to deal with the Empress Dowager for a long time, but unfortunately he has not wavered. Why don't we let them compete with each other, and the fisherman will benefit?"

The queen's eyebrows jumped, "It's not easy!"

"That's because in the past, the queen mother was the only one in the palace and outside the palace. Naturally, the emperor couldn't move." Sang Zhi said, "But it's different now. Since you surrendered to the emperor last time, why don't you go with the flow?"

"You mean, let me stand on the emperor's side and help him weaken the queen mother's power?"

"Exactly." Sang Zhi said, "Firstly, the Empress Dowager really wants you to win the emperor's trust and to be a virtuous housekeeper. You just take this opportunity to show your loyalty to the Empress Dowager. Two, the emperor has always been self-willed, even if you Standing on his side, you don't need to make any moves, you just need to give him an attitude. In this way, on the one hand, you can reassure the queen mother, and on the other hand, you can make the emperor no longer embarrassing. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? But difficult The difficulty is that you have to act like you are not doing anything, but you can’t really do nothing. The power in the Queen Mother’s hands will still have to be taken over slowly. Having no power in your hands is a lie after all.”

The queen pondered for a moment, and then said, "You don't know, although the queen mother is in the harem, she has power in the court. I am afraid that the power she holds in her hands is beyond my reach. Moreover, the harem is not allowed to associate with courtiers, that is what I want. It may be difficult to win them over."

This is indeed a big problem.Sang Zhi was also troubled by this, and couldn't help frowning.

When the queen saw it, she couldn't help sighing, but said with a smile, "I expected you to be a good wife, but I didn't expect you to make me unhappy. It's not good where to go. I have to go to Chengqian Palace? I don't want you where to."

"I'll be your good housekeeper?" Sang Zhi was taken aback, then blushed slightly, and said with a smile, "Isn't it because I just listen to you, and you listen to me for everything?"

The queen shot her a look and pulled her up, "Aren't you just listening to the wind right now."

Sang Zhi sat down next to her, teasingly said, "I thought I was planning a plan, but it turned out that I was listening to the wind." As he spoke, he deliberately blew on the Queen's earlobe, which caused the Queen's ears to turn red instantly, and stared at her glance.

Sang Zhi smiled lightly, and suddenly a flash of light flashed across his body, "The wind in your ears?"

The queen didn't hear clearly, "What?"

"I got it!" Sang Zhi suddenly realized, and hurriedly asked, "Can you see the court lady?"

"Naturally," said the queen, "It turned out that when Cheng Qian Palace was in charge, they were all received by the queen mother, and now they are all handed over to me." Seeing Sang Zhi's expression while speaking, the queen's heart moved, and she said in a low voice, "You mean , let me start with them?"

Sang Zhi nodded calmly, "The wind in the ear is more effective than anything." She thought for a while, "You have always been protected by the Queen Mother, how could those courtiers' wives not know? Now that I know your identity, I can naturally guess it. If one day the Empress Dowager is a hundred years old, all the power in the middle palace will naturally fall into your hands. With this relationship, the courtiers may not be willing to offend you—yes, even if they are unwilling to help you, they must not be willing to offend you. You Being from the same clan as the Empress Dowager, people have to weigh their wealth. The more prestige you have, the more support you have, the Empress Dowager cannot easily shake you."

The queen nodded, "You're right. I can start with them, but..." She wondered, "This palace is full of the queen mother's eyeliner, and if I want to do something secretly, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult. "

Sang Zhi was stunned, and couldn't help gasping for air, "The empress dowager's trick is really clever, there is nothing more beneficial than covering your own eyeliner." She tentatively asked, "Can you also cultivate your own people?"

The queen shook her head, "The empress dowager's roots in the palace are too deep. If you want to train your own people, you have to start with the maids who have just entered the palace. But if you are so blatant, how can the empress dowager not know!"

The words made both of them fall into silence at the same time.

After a long time, Sang Zhi hesitated, "Maybe... I can try?"

"You?" The queen was surprised.

"Yeah." Sang Zhi said while thinking, "I chatted with Sixi from Yongshou Palace today—Sixi, do you remember? It's the little palace maid you just transferred to the palace."

The queen nodded, "I remember."

"You gave it the name?"

The queen blushed, "On a whim. I thought of giving it to myself, but the name is inappropriate, so I had to give it up to someone else."

Hearing that, Sangzhi burst out laughing, "You want to name yourself Sixi?"

The queen's face darkened, and she said unhappy, "What are you laughing at, can't you!"

"..." Sang Zhiqiang suppressed a smile and tried to say seriously, "Okay, okay. You can be called Da Sixi in the future!"

"Having the same name as a servant, what a shame." The queen pursed her lips, "No."

Sang Zhi couldn't help laughing, "Why do you want to name yourself?"

"You both have two names," the queen said sternly, "Sangzhi and Wenlan, I want to have two too."

It was called Sangzhi stuck, so I had to say, "Then how come
