Bold, how dare you break Ben Hou

Although we had already arrived in the suburbs of Chang'an last night, less than [-] miles away from the city, but because of the large number of drivers and the fact that the emperor returned from autumn hunting, there were many rules.What if the road had to be closed in front of the city gate, all the officials knelt down from the gate of the Jinbo Palace, and this time Qingzhi was able to stand back where he should stand because of the title of "Xinyanghou".

It's a pity that along the way, I didn't see anyone I wanted to see.

After entering the palace and saluting, Gu Jixiu was not idle for a moment, he was anxious that Liu Guozhang and other pillars of the Qing Dynasty gathered in the Yizheng Hall to discuss what happened during the half month's absence in the palace.

But Qingzhi, who wanted to sneak back to the mansion, was driven by him to Shoukang Palace to visit the Empress Dowager.

"I can't leave for a while, you should go back to her old man's house first."

Qingzhi also had no choice but to go forward.

Before he stepped into the Shoukang Palace, he heard the empress dowager's "hahaha" laughter from inside, the eunuch at the door had sharp eyes, saw Qingzhi, and hurriedly communicated inside: "Xinyanghou is here. "

Qing Zhi stood firm at the door and bowed towards the inside: "Empress Dowager, grandson is asking to see you."

"come on in."

Qingzhi was puzzled, could it be that the old woman lost her head laughing because she hadn't seen her precious grandson for a long time?As soon as he stepped into the main hall of Shoukang Palace with bewilderment, he saw the people standing inside, frozen in place.

"Qing'er, Aijia now believes what you really said to change! If in the past, what Aijia said went in one ear and out the other, but this time, you really listened to it!"

The empress dowager held Mu Na's hand with a smile, and she looked triumphant.

When Mu Na saw Qingzhi, she didn't salute him, instead, the little maid who had been following her whispered, "Princess—"

Mu Na snorted and nodded pretendingly: "Join Xinyanghou."

Before Qingzhi could speak, the Empress Dowager interrupted with a smile: "Oh, we will be a family from now on, there are not so many rules. Nana, you are a few years younger than Qingzhi and the others, so don't call them by titles in the future. , just call brother, just treat this as Xiliang’s own home, don’t be too reserved.”

Mu Na smiled even more happily.

Sitting with the Empress Dowager and talking to her, Qing Zhi and Mu Na saw that she looked tired, so they also planned to get up and leave.The Empress Dowager nodded and patted Mu Na's hand: "Nana, you are new here, and there are many rules in the palace that you don't understand. In the future, you will learn more from the aunt in charge. If you encounter any troubles, feel free to express your condolences." My family said, don’t be afraid.”

Mu Na saluted obediently, and was about to wait for Qingzhi to leave before leaving, but the empress dowager stopped the person behind who was going to put oil on the soles of her feet: "The Ai family heard from Li Shun, you monkey to the Ai family. Got a gift? What is it? Ai’s family has been waiting for a long time, you hand it in first before leaving.” After finishing speaking, she stood up, smiled at Mu Na, and asked someone to pick up Qing Zhi, who hadn’t figured out the situation, into the inner hall .

"There was an outsider just now, so it's not easy for the Ai family to ask more questions, Qing'er, are you okay?"

The old queen pulled Qingzhi, and it really gave him another bear hug.He reached out to pick up Qingzhi's robe to check the wound for him, but luckily Qingzhi discovered it early, otherwise it would be too late.

After confirming that he was fine, the old queen mother breathed a sigh of relief: "At that time, Aijia told the emperor that after all, you just recovered and it is not suitable to go out together. If you want to go to Xiliang, you can find another excuse. But he just didn't listen. Leng wanted to take you with me... Hey! In the end, something went wrong? Fortunately, you are all right!"

Qingzhi nodded quickly, and the Empress Dowager moistened her throat with a cup of tea beside her: "Let's talk."

"Ah?" Qingzhi obviously didn't understand, knowing that the Empress Dowager sighed, patted the seat beside him and said to him: "The emperor asked you to come, isn't it just to let you talk to the Ai family about what happened in Xiliang?" What? Although Ai's family is thousands of miles away, the emperor will send someone to deliver a letter every five days, so he probably knows something about it. It's just that there are some things, I'd better hear them with my own ears."

I C!

So the old woman and the little emperor were playing with each other, and then they dragged him, a grandson with a different surname, by the way?

Just as he was thinking, he caught a glimpse of the Empress Dowager's eyes, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.Before that, his impression of the old queen was limited to the image of a stupid grandmother who assisted the second generation king and loved him; but why did she look at him with a little inquiry just now?

Qingzhi didn't dare to think about it, and quickly lowered his head to explain what happened in Xiliang carefully.As the Empress Dowager listened, her face became serious, and the hand holding the teacup unconsciously curled up, just holding it.

"So, what happened here is almost the same as what the emperor and Ai's family first expected." The empress dowager put down the teacup, as if she had held it for a long time, and her palms were not very flexible. "Mu Tai came to borrow troops. The emperor knew that if he borrowed troops from Xiliang at will, the faction headed by Meng Da would fight to the death if he couldn't get together. It would cause civil strife in Xiliang, which would not be good for Dongxing. Since we can't borrow troops easily, then Even if they risked themselves and went back to Xiliang with Mu Tai, even if Mengda and the others wanted to kill the crown prince and seize the throne, they would be more or less afraid of the emperor and would not do it so quickly. It was just that the emperor left Xiliang that day , I also mentioned to Aijia that I am not sure about going this time, and I don’t have any plans. I just hope that this trip can find the only support for Mu Tai, Hong Ji. But the situation has not been optimistic. Ai's family watched in Chang'an, and once persuaded the emperor that if this action fails, they should return to the court first. After all, the emperor came to Helmu in person this time, and they would restrain themselves when they came to Mengda, and they would make plans again... Unexpectedly However, it was your unintentional attempt to find Hongji...and finally let the emperor capture Mengda and make him king of Xiliang."

Qingzhi wasn't sure whether the empress dowager's words were a compliment or had other meanings in it, so he replied respectfully: "Exactly."

The Empress Dowager stared at Qingzhi for a long while, she seemed to sigh silently, took Qingzhi's hand and let him sit beside her.Before it even started, they heard a commotion outside, and the two followed the prestige——

"Mu Tai was originally the prince of Xiliang. The title of king of Xiliang will be given to him sooner or later. It's just a matter of time. I will agree to make him king immediately. I also have my plan. The empress dowager is the same as Qingzhi. Worry." The unstoppable yellow robe floated in, and seemed to salute with a little displeasure: "Grandson sees the Empress Dowager."
