[Lu Zhen] Empress Dowager is difficult

Regarding Shen Jiayan's anomaly, Qing Qiang understood that his private life might be a bit out of tune recently, and she didn't want to argue with him, so she forgot about meeting him that night in a blink of an eye.

He left the palace in a hurry, and returned to the palace in a hurry, bringing back the letter sent secretly by Shen Guogong.

There were only a few words in the letter, which probably meant that they wanted to use the influence of the Shen family to help the Lou family, and attached a list, all of which were the names of the royal families of the surrounding small families, densely packed.Shen Guogong explained it in the letter, and it was Gao Zhan's secret tricks these days to win over the forces.

After Zhaojun got the letter, he pinched the letter paper and stared at the Tongsheng candle for a while, then sighed twice, and then went to study the list carefully.

Qing Qiang hugged a celadon fruit bowl and stood on the side, gnawing a pear with a cracking sound. Seeing Zhaojun sighing, she moved closer quietly. Seeing that Zhaojun didn't notice, she moved closer again. Before reaching enough to see the content of the letter, Zhaojun's voice sounded slowly: "Qing Qiang, what does the Ai family usually teach you?"

Qing Qiang took a step back silently, and retorted in a low voice: "I ate pears today, so it won't make your face greasy!" After speaking, she took a bite of the pear in her hand, and a few drops of juice splashed out It fell on the letter paper in Zhaojun's hand, but Zhaojun gave him a sideways glance: "Stand aside and reflect."

Feeling ashamed, Qing Qiang stood to the side, and after standing for a short time, she silently came over and stood beside Zhaojun, looking down at her toes: "I'm done reflecting..." Seeing that Zhaojun didn't respond, Then he looked at the letter paper carefully, and said, "Auntie, what did Shen Guogong write?"

Zhaojun glanced at her, and his eyes settled on her hand full of sweet and greasy pears, and coughed: "He probably knows the recent actions of the Lou family, and also knows that all the 28 tribes of Qihu have returned. With Yaner, Gao Zhan and Yaner have no hope of confronting each other, presumably they are planning to surrender to us."

Qing Qiang was slightly surprised, turned around and sat down, across a low table from Zhaojun: "Surrender? What is he going to surrender? His daughter?"

Shen Guogong has always been a fox character, which is even worse than Zhang Xiang.In his previous life, Shen Guogong has been watching. Although the Shen family's power is not as big as the Lou's family, it should not be underestimated.Everyone knows that Shen Guogong is the most protective of his wife, he has only a few concubines in his life, and he has always regarded Shen Jiamin, the daughter of his wife, as the apple of his eye.In his previous life, he agreed to let Gao Zhan take Shen Jiamin back to the palace for a few days, Zhaojun already knew that he had the idea of ​​marrying his daughter to Gao Zhan.It's just that Zhaojun at that time felt that Gao Zhan would marry a wife sooner or later, rather than letting him marry a shrewd and capable noble daughter, it would be better to casually give him Shen Jiamin's idiot.

At that time, Shen Guogong stood on Gao Zhan's side.

Looking at the overall situation now, Gao Zhan has no title to be enthroned, no soldiers under his command, and only a little bit of Rouran's troops standing behind him. Naturally, Rouran's troops can check and balance the power of the Lou family's Xianbei, but that was all in the past Now, standing behind Gao Yan is not only Xianbei, but also the alliance of 28 tribes of Qihu.Gao Zhan is hopeless, even a fool can see it.But although Shen Guogong chose Gao Yan's side, he didn't force his daughter over like before.

In the past, Gao Zhan was a clean and handsome prince, so he was naturally regarded by Shen Guogong as a good match.Today's Gao Yan already has a queen in the palace, and everyone knows that Empress Xiao is jealous, arrogant and unreasonable.Shen Guogong loves his daughter very much, so naturally he is not willing to marry her and suffer.So, he set his mind on his only son.

The candlelight on the table is like beans, reflecting a dim yellow halo on the carved lattice window.

Zhaojun raised his eyebrows to look at her, with a smile in the corner of his eyes: "Shen Guogong intends to give his whole family's strength to help the Lou family, but he wants to ask the Lou family to marry a girl, so that he can help It’s more fun to help with this arm.”

Qing Qiang finished nibbling a pear, held a pear and rubbed her nose indifferently under Zhaojun's gaze, and said, "Actually, I wanted to tell my aunt about this a few days ago."

Zhaojun made a gesture of wishing to hear more about it.

Qing Qiang climbed over the low table, and said seriously: "Auntie, do you still remember that Qing Qiang has a direct sister named Huang Yuan?" Seeing Zhao Jun's blank face, she added another sentence: " It’s the one who loves meat since she was a child, and ate herself into a ball, oh, by the way, she also has a nickname called Qiuqiu.”

The bewildered Zhaojun was no longer bewildered when he heard the word "Qiuqiu", but showed a few traces of rare dislike on his face.

It is true that Zhaojun is a person who is not easy to feel disgusted with someone, but Miss Lou Qiuqiu makes it difficult for her not to feel disgusted.If it is said that among the three sisters of the Lou family, Hongxiu, the eldest, has a fiery temper, and the second is meek and vengeful, then the temper of the third is indescribable.Zhaojun only remembers that Gao Yan was over three years old when he first saw this girl, and in his memory it was the depths of winter, with a heavy snowfall, icy and snowy.

Qing Qiang's mother was a married woman of the second rank, and when she came to the palace on New Year's Day to congratulate her, she brought Qing Qiang and her direct sister with her.At that time, Qing Qiang had already grown up to look good, but she acted rather sloppy, and Zhao Jun was quite impressed by her bluffing temper at that time.So many years later, when Lou Zhao proposed to send Qing Qiang into the palace to be used by Zhao Jun as a confidant, Zhao Jun once resisted, but unfortunately the protest was ineffective.

At that time, Lou Qiuqiu was wearing a bright red padded jacket, and when she ran out of her mother's arms, she looked like a rolling ball.The red ball rolled to Zhaojun's feet, raised a round face, and greeted Zhaojun very seriously.

At that time, Zhaojun still thought that this little girl was much more reliable than her sister, and had a bright future.

There were a lot of wives who came to the palace to congratulate them that year, and Zhaojun's recollection is not complete now. I only remember that Lou Qiuqiu had an argument with the little prince brought by one of the wives, and the two were in the snow. It rolled into a ball, and then knocked the little son who was under Lou Qiuqiu's body to the steps.This was originally a squabble between little dolls, it was nothing.But Lou Qiuqiu got a lot of criticism from her mother afterwards, looking over from Zhaojun's point of view, you can see Lou Qiuqiu gnashing his teeth while drooping his head and looking at his toes.

Later, in less than half an hour, when Zhaojun passed by the entrance of Yu's bedroom, he saw Lou Qiuqiu standing on tiptoes on the edge of the table, struggling to shake something into the teapot, humming while shaking Chirp said: "Bastard, let you cause me to be scolded by my mother!"

Not long after that, I heard that the little prince and his mother ate badly at Yu's place, and had diarrhea for a whole afternoon.When she heard the news, Lou Qiuqiu was sitting obediently beside her mother, holding a piece of candy in her hand, licking it carefully, and sighed very sincerely: "It's so pitiful——"

……

Zhaojun's impression of Lou Qiuqiu remained on that day, the little girl who tiptoed to the table and shook things into the teapot.Therefore, Zhaojun felt a little inappropriate for Qing Qiang's proposal, but Qing Qiang patted her chest full of promises that Lou Qiuqiu is different now, and has grown into a slim girl.Zhaojun was skeptical of her words, so Qing Qiang wrote a note in front of Zhaojun, meaning that it is really strange to find a big boa constrictor with four legs here, I hope my sister will come quickly.Then the pigeons were released with a flutter, and the matter came to a successful conclusion.

For Shen Guogong's secret letter, the marriage matters are temporarily resolved, and the next thing is the political affairs.

Judging from the current situation, Gao Zhan is indeed hopeless to usurp the throne, but nothing is absolute. If he uses huge interests to lure Chen Guo or the Northern Wei Dynasty to borrow troops from him, Gao Yan's position will still be unstable.

The only solution right now is to reach a common interest relationship with Lord Chen before Gao Zhan.It is really a headache to deal with a warrior who crawled out of the sea of ​​blood.

Zhaojun rubbed her forehead with some headaches, Qing Qiang bid her farewell, got up and walked out, when the evening breeze blew her blue robe, like a flower blooming in the dark night.

Zhaojun suddenly thought of something, and called her: "Shen Jiayan is a good child, if you marry, Shen Guogong's family may not be short of you. Why do you resist this marriage so much?"

Qing Qiang's footsteps paused for a while, and she turned around slowly, the moonlight poured down on her robe, staining her with a few traces of coldness.There was a smile on the corner of her mouth: "If Qing Qiang says that she already has someone in her heart, will Auntie think that she is indiscreet?"

Zhaojun paused in the movement of serving tea, and after a long time, he continued the previous movement and finished the tea drinking movement safely. The teacup was put back on the table, and his expression was calm: "Who is it?"

Qing Qiang laughed even harder, and stepped back step by step with her hands folded behind her back. When she crossed the high threshold, she smiled: "When that person says he likes Qing Qiang too, Qing Qiang will tell aunt Who is he. Just don't worry about Qing Qiang's marriage in the future, Auntie will never marry out of the palace."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran away without a trace.

The summer night is deep, and when I look out the window, I can see a moon hanging quietly on the branches like a piece of cool jade, and the surrounding is silent, only the occasional night birds can be heard.

For a long time, Zhaojun kept holding the cup unchanged, his eyes didn't know where to fall, and the palace lanterns under the eaves were almost extinguished by the cool wind.She seemed to be looking at the thin paper on the table, and after a long time she said to herself, "...I just want to save you."

In the last life, Qing Qiang was pushed out of the Meridian Gate by Gao Yan and beheaded in public, and the power of the Lou family was shattered by Gao Zhanba. She can still feel the past that made people dare not look directly at it. His hands trembled uncontrollably.It's just that since we can do it all over again now, those unbearable pasts should go straight away and shouldn't be brought up again.

Not long after Qing Qiang's letter flew out with the pigeons fluttering away, she received a reply letter from her younger sister Lou Qiuqiu, a piece of white paper the size of a palm, with a few strokes written in a frantic manner. Character.Zhaojun stared at the letter for a long time but couldn't figure out what words it was. Qing Qiang, who came in with the wash water, glanced at the letter in Zhaojun's hand and said, "Oh, these are two words. It was waiting for my word."

Zhaojun: "..."

According to the information Qing Qiang got from her father, Lou Qiuqiu became very interested in a special poison produced in a remote area half a month ago, and left home ten days ago to search for that poison. It is estimated that he will not come back at the moment.After listening to Qing Qiang's words, Zhaojun picked up a snail on the dressing table, looked at it for a long time, and said: "So, the marriage between the Lou family and the Shen family can't be settled yet?"

Qing Qiang thought for a while, and replied: "Actually, this marriage event is the order of the parents and the matchmaker's words. It doesn't matter whether she is present or not. At that time, my aunt and Shen Guogong just need to discuss it. Let's choose a good one." One day, just tie her up and stuff her directly into the sedan chair, and that's it."

Zhaojun felt that something was wrong: "What if she is stubborn and refuses to have a bridal chamber?"

Qing Qiang thought about it for a moment, joined hands together, and said: "Then beat her up, if you don't believe her, she won't obey!"

Zhaojun was silent for a long time: "...a good idea."

The marriage between Lou Qiuqiu and Shen Jiayan has come to an end. What Zhaojun means is that everything can be discussed only after Lou Qiuqiu goes out and comes back, so everything is still empty talk so far.So she wrote a letter back to Shen Guogong, telling him that matters between the juniors should be handled by the juniors themselves, but she seemed to like Shen Jiayan, a junior.The meaning between the words is that Shen Jiayan has been settled by the Lou family, and the Lou family will definitely marry a girl to your family, so you can rest assured and help the Lou family a lot.

The following days passed peacefully and serenely, day after day Zhaojun sat in the Zhaoyang Palace, flipping through Buddhist scriptures and playing chess, occasionally listening to Qing Qiang tell her a short story to relieve boredom in his busy schedule.

During these most peaceful days, the slightly bigger event was probably the promotion exam for female officials in the palace.Because of the new emperor's accession to the throne, most of the female officials in the palace were vacant, so this year's female officer promotion examination changed from the usual practice, and an extra nine-rank female official was admitted.

Somehow Lu Zhen got to know Du Siyi, the daughter of Du Guogong who lived in the Jingxinyuan for a long time. The female officer exam is coming soon, so she stays in the Jingxinyuan every day to listen to Du Siyi's lectures, looking very serious.

Shen Bi on the other end was demoted from a first-class court lady to a third-class court lady because of Lu Zhen, although she felt resentful in her heart, she didn't do anything.

The maple leaves on the mountains were finally gradually dyed red by the autumn frost. Summer went to autumn, and the autumn rain came overnight. When I opened the door the next morning, I felt the cold wind pouring into the sleeves of my clothes. It was so cold that I couldn't help shivering.

Regarding Gao Yan's illness, the imperial physician who once asserted that he would not live past the age of 26 finally began to show signs on this long autumn day. His face was pale, and he couldn't stand still.According to Yuan Fu's words, it was the ministers in the palace who had just dispersed, and Gao Yan, who was sitting upright on the throne, suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, and the whole person slid down the throne .

Without saying anything, he passed out completely.
