The queen's head drooped lower, as did her posture.

The queen hesitated in her heart.

On one side is the queen mother, my mother, and on the other side is the emperor, the most respected person in the world, and my husband.No matter what she said, she would be very embarrassed.

Therefore, the queen did not answer for a long time.

The emperor found that she was still the same as she was back then, a stubborn and boring woman who didn't know how to change, couldn't speak.

But maybe the queen is the only one who is still the same as he remembers, unlike Anding Hou, who has become calculating and unpredictable.

Not to mention the empress dowager, who used to be kind to him, but secretly raised her face.

Throughout the ages, there have also been examples of raising male concubines. The more powerful a person is, the more they will do anything to satisfy their own selfish desires.But the emperor was not so angry with the queen mother that he was furious, he just felt ashamed.

When did the queen mother raise a dog man, and why didn't she even mention his own son?As a result, when the rumors came out, he found out as soon as he checked.

The emperor already had a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart.

"If the officials find any clues, I will be told by them again."

The emperor got up from the collapse, and said majesticly, "The empress is in charge of the harem, so she won't know what I mean. If you don't tell me, I will go to the empress dowager to find out."

Now that the empress dowager's name has been mentioned, the empress also knew that the emperor had understood it, so she said, "Your Majesty, this matter concerns the face of the royal family, so it cannot be publicized."

"You also know that you can't publicize it!" The emperor suddenly lost his temper, and the empress trembled in fright. After the emperor finished yelling, he gasped as if out of breath.

"I'm tired." The emperor sighed, "The empress can handle it herself, I'm back to the palace."

The courtyard of Zhen Guogong's mansion is full of beautiful hydrangeas, and the branches are covered with green leaves. Liang Qing sits under the pavilion eating strawberries, and can hear the wind from the bamboo forest in the distance.

Holding a thin piece of paper in his hand, he closed his eyes and said nothing, then pressed the paper under the documents on the table.

Xiao Chengyan, who was flipping through the Dali Temple documents on the opposite side, raised his head and said, "What's wrong?"

Since Liang Qing returned to the mansion to recuperate, Xiao Chengyan basically handed over all the documents sent by Dali Temple for Liang Qing to review.Liang Qing thinks that this is to cultivate Long Aotian's ability to deal with government affairs in the future, not because he wants to be lazy.

Besides, Xiao Chengyan can do everything, and the approval documents are done quickly and well, why should he bother himself?

Liang Qing swallowed the strawberries in his mouth, and said: "The emperor asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to kill the noodle capital that the queen mother kept in secret."

He had no emotions, neither sympathy nor disgust, calmly as if stating an unrelated fact.

People in the royal family don't take other people's lives very seriously. Liang Qing knows that life should not be treated so lightly, but there is nothing he can do about it.

Xiao Chengyan glanced at him, and said: "The emperor will not tolerate having a man in his harem, and the officials will not agree either."

In the first two days in the court, there were indeed officials who challenged the emperor, saying that it was against ethics and morals for male concubines to appear in the harem, and they also denounced the excessive indulgence of the emperor's private life. The emperor's face turned green when he heard this.

Liang Qing raised his eyebrows, and suddenly said: "Do you think... is it strange for a man to enter the palace to serve the monarch?"

"It's not surprising." Xiao Chengyan replied quickly, "Men entering the harem will inevitably be criticized, and may even be despised and insulted. Generally speaking, it is indeed not accepted by most people."

Liang looked at him lightly for a while, seeing that Xiao Chengyan's expression hadn't changed, he paused and bowed his head.

Xiao Chengyan said again: "Don't think too much."

Liang Qing looked up for a moment.

What the hell does this guy mean?

The entire spring court was not peaceful, the conflicts and quarrels brought about by Hou An Ding's rapid expansion of power had not yet been completely over, and there was another male concubine in the emperor's harem, everything was in chaos.

The emperor seemed to be a few years older, and his face was gloomy all the time.

After the beginning of summer, the cabinet began to prepare for the long-delayed palace examination.Although Chen Ru suppressed Xiao Chengyan's results and did not announce them, he still included Xiao Chengyan in the palace examination list.Before it could be handed over to the emperor for review, something happened.

Concubine Leng Gong Shu gave birth prematurely and gave birth to a dead baby.Concubine Shu didn't keep it in the end.

The emperor didn't know whether it was sad or frightened. He fell ill again that night, and the empress went to Qianqing Palace overnight to take care of her.

The palace examination was given to the cabinet with full authority. Chen Ru was the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Xu Shi was from Xiao Chengyan.

However, when Xiao Chengyan appeared, they realized that they didn't need to be biased, they just needed to give the greatest fairness, Xiao Chengyan's strength was enough to win the champion.

The general examination can still suppress Xiao Chengyan's participation in Chunwei, but the news that Xiao Chengyan won the first prize after the palace examination cannot be concealed at all.

Some of the old men of King Yu were very pleased and faintly excited about this, but more of them were forces like Marquis Anding who felt an inexplicable crisis, including some forces that were hostile to the old King Yu's mansion.

Before the results of the palace examination were announced, the opposition notes poured into the cabinet like snowflakes, saying that the son of a treasonous minister was not worthy of being the number one scholar in the scientific examination.

The sick emperor suppressed Xiao Chengyan's achievements again, this move completely reassured those who opposed the original Yu Palace in the court, and sure enough, the emperor was still dissatisfied with Yu Palace.

On the afternoon of the second day, Liang Qing went to the East Palace.Because he had saved the prince, Liang Qing often came to visit the prince.The queen went to accompany the queen mother today, not in the East Palace, only the crown prince was practicing riding and archery in the garden garden of the East Palace.

Liang Qing watched the prince learn archery from the side. The seven-year-old child couldn't pull the bow, but the prince studied it very seriously, his little face tensed.

Liang Qing was a little distracted, princes and aristocrats have to learn this since childhood, Xiao Chengyan is also from the Xiao family, was he as serious and serious as the prince when he was young?Like a little lady?

If only I could pinch each other's fleshy cheeks.

After a while, the coaches next to him showed helpless expressions, and the prince also felt that he was not doing well enough, so he put down his bow and arrow and went to wash his hands.

Seeing Liang Qing, he looked a little frustrated, and said, "Did Mr. Liang wait too long?"

Liang smiled lightly: "No, the prince is very good at archery."

The prince was taken aback for a moment, and said in surprise, "Very...is it amazing?"

Liang Qing: "Yes."

The prince felt embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "But Prince Yu's son was able to draw a half-stone bow when he was eight years old."

Liang Qing paused. This was probably the envy of the scumbags towards the god of learning and their self-doubt. He had a deep understanding and said, "...that's a genius, we don't care about it."

"What is a genius?" The prince was very puzzled, but he couldn't wait for an answer, because the eunuch passed the news and the emperor came.

The emperor seldom came to the East Palace. Today he heard that Liang Qing was coming, and the sedan chair happened to pass by the East Palace, so he came here.

Although he didn't go to the early dynasty, Liang Qing and the emperor also met each other. The other side's complexion is not as good as before. Maybe it's because the harem is favored too often. Maybe it's the news of the assassination of Huafang and the death of Concubine Shu in dystocia. Affected, the 33-year-old emperor looks like he is in his 40s.

Liang Qing showed surprise: "Why is Your Majesty here?"

The emperor said: "You are recuperating at the mansion during this period of time, living a leisurely life, can you still feel comfortable?"

Liang Qing hurriedly apologized: "I am incompetent, Your Majesty forgive me."

The emperor turned his head and said to the prince: "Go to study inside, I will discuss business with Mr. Liang."

The emperor also asked all the serving maids to retire, leaving only the more trusted eunuch by his side, he said: "Xiao Chengyan won the first place in the imperial examination, you should know about this, right?"

Liang Qing didn't expect the emperor to ask this suddenly, she was stunned for a moment, and said after deliberation: "Your Majesty wants to talk about state affairs with me?"

The emperor said: "Otherwise? He is the son of the original Prince Yu's mansion. Logically speaking, he should hate you and me in his heart."

Liang Qing understood what he meant, his brows were raised slightly, his face was cold, and his dark eyes were full of madness, "Of course. It is said that love breeds hatred, and I think it makes sense. Your Majesty is right. Don't give him a champion."

The emperor was stunned: "What?"

Liang Qingdao: "In this way, he can only be in my house, forced by the power of the minister, and can only be attached to the minister."

The emperor... The emperor opened his eyes and got stuck for a while.

Liang Qing said again: "What is your Majesty anxious about? Marquis An Ding also participated in the case of Prince Yu. If Xiao Chengyan wants to become an official, he should be the one who should be most anxious."

Speaking of Marquis Anding, the emperor moved slightly, and said, "Do you still remember the fierce horse that attacked me during the autumn hunt last year? My secret guards found out that the executive who was executed was just a scapegoat, the one who really drugged the horse. It's the Marquis of Anding."

Liang Qing's expression changed, she was surprised, and said after a while: "How could Marquis An Ding harm His Majesty?"

With one sentence, he directly condemned Marquis An Ding. The emperor looked carefully at Liang Qing's expression, as if he really knew about it.

The emperor snorted dissatisfiedly.

Liang Qing frowned, and said: "I have always been at odds with Marquis Anding. Your Majesty may not listen to what I say, but there are a few things that I still want to say."

The emperor has not had any ministers who can talk to him these days. Although Chen Ru is the chief minister of the cabinet, he is a pure and honest minister. up.

So the emperor became more patient and said, "Say it."

Liang Qing said in a low voice: "Although I am recuperating at home, I know about the situation of the court. Marquis An Ding responded to all the calls in the court, and he made great progress. No one dared to offend. In the early spring, the second son of Cheng was also in the cabinet to listen to his studies. , which makes the minister very puzzled."

Although the emperor trusted Liang Qing, he didn't like the courtiers to alienate him from others. He looked down and said, "How?"

Liang coughed lightly, and he slightly squeezed the wooden board of the wheelchair under his hands. This was an expression of his nervousness, but his face was calm.

He continued: "The late emperor's heirs were prosperous, so set a rule that the princes should enter the cabinet in order to listen to their education according to their age. Whoever learns well will be rewarded. You are liked by the elders of the cabinet. Although your understanding is a bit weak, the late emperor I like your cuteness."

The emperor thought for a while: "That's right."

Liang Qing squinted his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, when the crown prince is so young, the second son of Cheng joined the cabinet to study. Why? Is he going to be the prince to study in the cabinet?"

In an instant, the emperor's expression changed drastically, and he slapped the table and said sharply, "Presumptuous!"

Liang Qing hurriedly bowed his head: "I know I was wrong."

The emperor's eyes and expression were cold: "Duke Zhen should rest at the mansion well, don't come to the East Palace, and don't worry about other things."

This was implying that Liang Qing should not go to court and control too much, and took away Liang Qing's real power in an instant, but he could only answer: "Yes."

Coming out of the palace gate, Liang Qingwai sat on the wheelchair, rubbing his temple with one hand.

It's really not easy to withstand the pressure of the emperor. Thanks to his good acting skills and good psychological quality, otherwise, under the terrifying eyes of the emperor, he would be too scared to speak.

The guards carried him onto the sedan chair, and as soon as he opened the curtain, Liang Qing saw the person sitting inside.

Xiao Chengyan rested his elbows on his knees, his shallow eyes were focused, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling.

Liang Qing rushed over, he couldn't use his legs, this action was very dangerous.However, he was firmly held by Xiao Chengyan and held in his arms.

Xiao Chengyan rubbed his waist and back, fearing that the person in his arms might not get used to it, so the strength was a little lighter than when he was massaging.He recalled Liang Qing's reaction before getting into the sedan chair again, and frowned, "Did the emperor treat you badly? I originally said Cheng Zirui's move..."

"It's nothing." Liang Qing interrupted him, "These words are the most appropriate for me to say."

His tone was muffled, Xiao Chengyan paused.

Liang Qing continued: "I just feel...disgusted."

Xiao Chengyan frowned, he reached out and squeezed Liang Qing's neck, as if to comfort him.

Liang Qing buried himself in his chest, listening to the strong heartbeat of the other party, he slowed down and said, "But I'm quite happy that you came to pick me up."

"Well. You must be happier to hear something."

Xiao Chengyan said, "Today I went to see Mr. Gongsun. He said that he found the formula for the antidote of Dripping Guanyin in an ancient book, and one of them is medicine cited. It is in Huaimingzhou. I have already sent someone to find the businessman surnamed Jia." gone."

Liang Qing was taken aback for a moment, then raised her eyebrows and said, "Really? You didn't lie to me?"

Xiao Chengyan was dissatisfied: "When did I ever lie to you?"

Liang Qing thought for a while, and there really wasn't, but the focus was still on the antidote for the Dripping Guanyin.

Unexpectedly, it was found.

Xiao Chengyan reached through Liang Qing's legs, hugged him on his lap, and slowly rubbed him into his arms: "Qing Qing, the future will be your good fortune."

The author has something to say: I also want to lightly pounce on me!

Xiao Xiao is very romantic when she is not acting
