[Lu Zhen] Empress Dowager is difficult

Zhaojun didn't know what was going on in Gao Yan's mind, but he only knew that he ordered Xiao Huanyun's phoenix seal to be taken up after the heaven sacrifice ceremony.

Because Mrs. Yue Guo was still a guest in the palace, Gao Yan did it quietly, and even Zhaojun was shocked when he saw the phoenix seal presented by Yuan Fu.Feng Yin left Zhaoyang Palace for more than half a year, and finally returned to her after going around and around. It really makes people have to sigh that the world is impermanent.

As for Xiao Huanyun's reaction, Zhaojun is not quite sure, but judging from what happened later, Xiao Huanyun probably put the hatred of losing the phoenix seal on Lu Zhen, thinking that if Lu Zhen hadn't been there If it got mixed up, she wouldn't hit Lu Zhen, which angered Gao Yan, so high that Gao Yan wanted to take Feng Yin back.

Zhaojun felt that if Mrs. Yue Guo hadn't been a guest in the palace, Xiao Huanyun would have been taken away more than just a phoenix seal.Her empress position is now very unstable, but she doesn't know it.

A few days after the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, she began to restless again.

On the third day of the first lunar month, after two consecutive heavy snowfalls in the palace, the third snowfall was ushered in. The snow was lonely, and heavy snow like goose feathers fell from the sky one after another, embellishing the gloomy sky with stars.

The envoys of the State of Wei came with congratulatory gifts, Gao Yan and Gao Zhan hosted a banquet in the Hall of Renshou together with Gao Yan as a token of respect.Zhaojun took Gaoxiang Qingqiang, Mrs. Yue Guo and Tong Chang out of the palace to look at the Buddha lamps in the Wanguo Temple. It is said that on this day every year, ten thousand lotus Buddha lamps will be released under the bridge water behind the Wanguo Temple. All the way down, like a transparent and bright jade belt, it is embedded on the mountainside.

Tongchang didn't know where he heard the news, so he wanted to go out of the palace to have a look. Madam Yue was tortured helplessly, so he could only ask Zhaojun for help.Coincidentally, Gao Xiang has been away from the palace for a long time, and he will be going back to Yuzhou in a few days, so he really wants to go to Wanguo Temple to join in the excitement of this Buddhist lantern.Then Qing Qiang also said that she met Su Su outside the palace a few years ago, and the girl also insisted that she would join in the fun. Qing Qiang said that she might not have seen Miss Su Su for a long time, and this trip happened to be a chance to go and have a look. susu.So the group of five hit it off immediately, and the guards who asked Gao Yan to escort them left the palace very low-key.

Before leaving the palace, Qing Qiang huddled in a corner of the carriage and seemed very uneasy, she would lift the curtain to take a look from time to time, causing other people to stare at her frequently.

This state was maintained until the carriage slowly drove out of the palace gate, Qing Qiang lifted the curtain and looked around, as if she had confirmed something, she let out a long sigh of relief.

Zhaojun felt strange looking at her like this, so he also took a look outside the curtain, and saw that Qing Qiang was about to put down the curtain after heaving a sigh of relief, but she stopped halfway through the action of putting the curtain down.Zhaojun followed her gaze and saw a steed horse walking out from among the guards following the carriage at some point, on top of the steed was a very handsome young man, that was Shen Jiayan.

Qing Qiang seemed to be frightened, she covered her chest, and said, "He, why is he here?"

Zhaojun clutched the stove on his lap, glanced at her slowly, and replied: "Oh, when Aijia greeted Yan'er, he happened to be there, so I recommended myself..."

Qing Qiang's hands trembled, trembled again, and finally covered her chest with great difficulty.Following this journey, she looked very depressed, huddled in a corner of the carriage by herself, looking at the other happy people with a miserable expression.

Mrs. Yue Guo is a discerning person. She glanced at Shen Jiayan who was sometimes blown up by the wind, and then at Qing Qiang who was huddled in the corner. At the corner of his mouth, he sighed with a half-smile: "Whose son is that young man riding a horse outside? Has he ever been married?"

The miserable Qing Qiang raised her head slowly, and cast a miserable look at Mrs. Yue Guo.

From the corner of Zhaojun's eyes, he glanced at Qing Qiang following Mrs. Yue Guo's gaze, with a polite smile on his cheek that he liked to show more and more recently, he let go of the heater, rubbed his hands, and said calmly: "That is the eldest son of the Duke of Shen, a few days ago I have made an marriage agreement with a girl from my Lou family."

Qing Qiang's complexion didn't change much, she still looked extremely miserable, but when she heard the word Shen Jiayan, she couldn't help shivering all over her body, from just now to now, she had trembled several times, it was very painful.

Mrs. Yue Guo smiled, the carriage drove slowly through the busy city, slightly bumpy, a simple hairpin on her bun swayed gently across her cheeks, smiled casually, and said in a leisurely manner One sentence: "It's really a blessing to be married to such an excellent son..."

Qing Qiang trembled fiercely.

The whole trip went very smoothly. It was already twilight when we arrived at Wanguo Temple. Gao Yan ordered someone to say hello to the abbot here in advance. The old abbot was a sincere person, but he insisted on carrying Waiting for the lantern in the increasingly bitter cold wind in the evening, waiting for Zhaojun's carriage.Sitting in this carriage was the queen mother of a country, a lady of Yue country, two noble princesses, and a high-ranking female official. When Zhaojun bent down from the carriage, the old abbot was almost Wept excitedly, and when the five of them stood apart from him, he had already knelt together tremblingly with a group of monks.

In order to leave the best and most comfortable place to watch the five giant Buddhas, Wan Guo Temple cleared out all the people around the mountain temple earlier, and a group of bald monks who looked like warrior monks were stationed in the wing room in the backyard.According to the abbot, it is the best place to watch the scenic spot of lotus and Buddha lamps.

A group of people went up to the wing room above the attic, and as soon as the door was opened, a ball of red and bright things fell into Zhaojun's arms. Looking down, it was a short Miaomiao wearing a red cotton coat, the eldest lady of the Gu family, Miss Gu Zhensu. .She was overdressed tonight, wrapped inside and out in several layers, and looked like a low ball from a distance.The dwarf ball first groaned in Zhaojun's arms for half a day, then took a pair of red gold bracelets from Zhaojun as lucky money for the New Year, and then took a bunch of things from Qingqiang Gaoxiang one by one, He took out a small cloth bag from his bosom, wrapped it carefully and stuffed it back into his bosom.

Tong Chang, who was silent at the side, burst into laughter when he saw her like this. Susu probably thought that the sister's smile meant that she was very cute, so she boldly turned to Tong Chang.Then...these two girls went to play together, chasing each other all night, it was very lively.Mrs. Yue's explanation for this is that Princess Tongchang has always liked children and is willing to get close to them.

When she said this, the two people who rolled into a ball at the side didn't know what topic was involved, but Su Su said crisply: "The emperor's cousin never gets angry with Su Su, he is a good person! Uncle Zhan is bad Yes, he will throw away the sesame candies that Susu gave him—”

Mrs. Yue's face paused for a moment, but she laughed again very quickly, and raised a glass with Zhaojun: "The scenery is picturesque tonight, how can we not have a good drink?"

In this way, a group of people stayed until late at night before returning home exhausted.

As night fell, when Zhaojun walked out of the warm room with Qing Qiang, he suddenly felt that the night wind was fierce and cold, so he couldn't help tightening his clothes.When I went downstairs, I saw a man standing next to the carriage parked in a corner of the backyard. The cold wind made the man's clothes flutter, but he stood there watching the direction of the attic, motionless, with the appearance of a sturdy man, except for Shen Jiayan. A second guess.

Zhaojun recalled what Gao Yan had said to her earlier, saying that Shen Jiayan's rigid temperament probably followed his father's, despite his usual reticent temperament, he never missed the things he was told.

On the way back to the palace, he also didn't say a word, the reins of the horse were held in his hands at will, and he followed the carriage two steps away as before when he came here.

Gao Xiang and the others had reasons for leaving the palace, but Zhaojun didn't come here to enjoy the scenery.Someone in the palace was upset and needed to take advantage of a loophole to vent, and Zhaojun gave her such a chance.The two brothers Gao Yan and Gao Zhan were going to receive the envoys, and it might not be over until very late, and the people in the palace who were able to manage affairs followed Zhaojun all the time, and the only one who stayed was Shang Qi. The powerful Wang Xuan.

Therefore, tonight is destined not to be quiet.

As a result, Zhaojun's carriage had just driven into the deep palace alley, and was about to turn the corner around the Helu Gate to go to the Qinxin Hall, when a blue-colored palace maid suddenly rushed out from the side.The court lady knelt down in front of the carriage, cried loudly, "I beg the queen mother to help you, save Lu Zhangzhen—"

Mrs. Yue Guo held the drowsy Tong Chang in her arms, she was taken aback for a moment, and asked in a little doubt, "Lu Zhangzhen?"

Then, the court lady told a general content in her anxious and coherent words. She is the first-class court lady in charge of Sibao Division, named Linglong.What Linglong said was about the same as what Zhaojun had expected, roughly meaning that Empress Xiao angered Lu Zhen because of the Twelve Steps of Zhenguo at the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, and then used an excuse to check Si Baosi's accounts. But Lu Zhangzhen is a good and honest official, and the accounts in the department are clear one by one.So Empress Xiao conveniently issued an edict to Lu Zhangzhen this morning, asking her to prepare ten jade bracelets and send them to Hanguang Hall as a gift to the princesses who entered the palace to congratulate them.But No. 30 of the second chapter of the palace regulations clearly stipulates that gold and jade in the weather have their own feelings, and it is an official festival. Therefore, every winter solstice, gold and silver will be changed. Before the summer solstice, jade ornaments are prohibited——

Empress Xiao had already used this excuse to punish Lu Zhen to kneel outside Helu's gate for twelve hours before dinner.

Linglong cried out, saying that when Empress Xiao made the decree, she clearly said it was a jade bracelet, but afterwards she said that what she asked Lu Zhangzhen to prepare was a gold bracelet. This is a huge injustice!

Zhaojun pretended to be a little dazed by her words, but after realizing it, he grasped one of the important points: "The empress knows the palace rules very well, so how can she make a mistake in passing the oral order? And what is written on the palace rules Clear and clear, clear and clear, if Lu Zhen had the heart to remember the palace rules, such a mistake would not have happened! If you don't reflect on yourself and admit your mistakes, what are you doing here to beg Ai's family?"

Such stern lines are for Mrs. Yue to hear.Linglong was so frightened by her words that she stopped crying and just stared blankly at the snow-covered bluestone road in a daze.

After a moment of silence, it was Mrs. Yue who spoke first: "...In this weather, kneeling in the snow for three or four hours will kill you. Twelve hours is too serious."

Not only is it serious, it is clear that they want Lu Zhen's life!

Zhaojun made an expression of being persuaded by her words, and said to Qing Qiang who was holding an umbrella beside him: "Madam's words are very true, then you go..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a figure in dark Chinese clothes rushing past the railing under the corridor not far ahead, staggered and knelt down on the high platform outside the Helu Gate, and collapsed on the ground in a helpless embrace. The person shouted out of control, "Ah Zhen! Ah Zhen, wake up—"

The author has something to say: The QAQ chapter should have improved.Mr. Gu really worked very hard on the code words! ! ! ! !
