Xiao Siye's journey through

Although the fourth master was very reluctant in his heart and walked extremely slowly even with his feet, he still had to go to the Palace of Compassion.After all, considering the current status of the little fourth master, he cannot afford to offend this empress dowager.Not to mention that this queen mother is his biological mother in name, and with the things in her hands, even if the little fourth master doesn't want to, he still has to be extremely respectful in front of her.

As for the plan set by his predecessor, the fourth master finally decided to continue.It's not that he doesn't have filial piety, a queen dowager who wants to control her wholeheartedly, a queen dowager who is not even a biological mother...he doesn't need to hypocritically show any filial piety.Of course, if the queen mother behaved better and was no longer so aggressive, I could consider treating her better.After all, he is not a heartless person.Thinking of this, the little fourth master walked a little faster, and became more curious about the queen mother of this world.

When they came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the Fourth Young Master respectfully greeted the Empress Dowager who was sitting there with a cold face.With a humble attitude, without a trace of reluctance, he has the appearance of a filial son.

The queen mother kept a straight face, looking coldly at the emperor sitting opposite her.Although the emperor was her son in name and the lord of the Qing Dynasty, in the eyes of the queen mother, he was just the son of a Han Chinese with a low bloodline.If the first emperor had decreed to pass the throne to him, the queen mother would have started to send this 'son' who separated her mother and daughter to the Western Paradise, and she would not allow him to appear in front of her eyes.

It's just that the empress dowager also understood that even if he didn't like it a thousand times, she still had to give the emperor face in front of outsiders.After all, in the eyes of outsiders, the emperor is her biological son, which is also the reason why she became the empress dowager.So, after the little fourth master saluted, he didn't make things difficult for him, and called out 'get up' coldly.

After getting up, the little fourth master smiled and said to the queen mother, "Recently, I'm busy with business, my son can't come to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to pay his respects, and I hope the emperor's mother will find it strange." Then he sat outside the queen mother, looking at the nominal mother without any trace.The Empress Dowager looked a little indifferent, and there was a hint of combing between her brows.Although she is not young, she is well maintained. At first glance, she is much younger than her actual age.Coupled with noble makeup and gorgeous costumes, it has a graceful and luxurious momentum.

The fourth young master sized up the queen mother and nodded secretly.This empress dowager is more dignified than his biological mother, and more imposing than the empress dowager in the previous world.It's just that the indifference in those eyes gave people the idea of ​​keeping them at a respectful distance—too majestic and lacking in kindness.It seems that this empress dowager has a strong desire for power and control, and trying to get along with her peacefully...is difficult!

The Empress Dowager said lightly, "It doesn't matter", but there was some difference in her heart.Today's emperor seems to be slightly different from usual, no longer the same as before, although he greets himself politely, the indifference and alienation between the words can be heard at a glance.But today, there was a touch of gentleness added. Could it be... because he knew that he held the late emperor's secret decree in his hand?impossible!Anyone who knew the secret decree had already been dealt with by her!Hmph, the emperor did this for the sake of acting!Aijia will not be moved by this, if he is disobedient...

The fourth young master didn't care about the empress dowager's indifference. To him, the empress dowager had nothing to do with him.The predecessor who was registered under his name could be cruel enough to get rid of the master of the harem who intended to control him. How could he, the successor who came halfway, be soft-hearted, and not talk about the love between mother and child.The harem does not interfere in politics!Even if the predecessor is not the queen mother's biological son, he is still the heir chosen by Huang Ama himself!She's just a queen mother, but she still wants to control the former dynasty?It's really funny!

However, no matter how disdainful the little fourth master was to the queen mother's actions, he still showed a very gentle face.Compared with his predecessor, the fourth master is more experienced in 'acting'.After the Empress Dowager saw that the fourth master was paying his respects, she stopped making a sound, and just sat quietly opposite her, feeling surprised in her heart.Some time ago, she wanted to send her niece into the palace and let the emperor canonize her as a queen, but she was strongly opposed by the emperor.It is precisely because of this incident that the Queen Mother has the heart to abolish it.It's just that from today's perspective, the emperor doesn't seem to take that matter to heart... Could it be that the emperor thinks that this matter doesn't need to be taken to heart at all? !

When the queen mother thought of this possibility, an unknown fire rose in her heart.This 'son' has displeased her very much since he was brought back by the late emperor!That was in exchange for his own daughter!It's just that at that time she was just a small princess in the palace and could only obey.It's just the pain of being separated from the flesh and blood, which makes her want to throw him to the ground every time she sees this 'son'!Even later, because of this 'son', she was promoted step by step, from Gege to Shufujin, Sidefujin... concubine, noble concubine, until she ascended to the highest position in the harem, her resentment towards him still failed to diminish.

But the queen mother also knew that abolishing the throne was not so easy.Although the emperor's background is her biggest bargaining chip, but to abolish it at this time, if there is no good successor, or if the successor found is not as obedient as this 'son', then... the loss outweighs the gain.The Empress Dowager thought for a long time, and in the end she still believed that the theory of "abandoning the emperor" was not reliable in the current form.

However, the Empress Dowager didn't want to just compromise like this, and let a Han family son be on her head, so she thought of a way that would be most beneficial to her, that is to use the former emperor's secret decree to threaten and control the current emperor, so... ...Her family and her power can reach the highest level!Of course, the next thing needs to be arranged properly. If the emperor is 'disobedient' in the future, he will come up with a secret decree to abolish it, and support a talent carefully cultivated by a family... preferably a prince with a family blood.Only then can we rest assured.

The Empress Dowager did not speak out about the secret decree hastily, she still needs to make proper arrangements, otherwise, the Emperor would have a "death" with herself in a fit of anger, and as a Empress Dowager in the deep palace, she might not be able to gain the upper hand.After thinking about the key points, the queen mother decided to ease the atmosphere with the emperor first.After the emperor let go of his vigilance, she will discuss with the family members carefully, and then take him down in one fell swoop!

"The emperor seems to have lost weight recently, but the affairs are too busy? Although state affairs are the most important thing, you still have to pay attention to your body..." After thinking it over, the queen mother put away her cold and hard attitude, and looked at her with a loving face. The fourth master said.

The little fourth master was thinking about why the queen mother asked him to come. Could it be that he wanted to bring up the matter of canonizing the queen mother's niece as the queen again?Just thinking about how to answer, so as not to make the empress dowager become angry, but also to dispel the idea of ​​the empress dowager, at this moment, she saw that the empress dowager suddenly changed her attitude, put away her cold expression, and asked 'kindly' how her body was. Work instead of rest... blah blah blah.I just felt that my scalp was numb and I had a cold war.

Could it be that the queen mother has changed her gender?Want to have a good time with your son?impossible!Based on the memory he accepted, this queen mother is quite ambitious.Being the No. 1 in the harem is not enough, but she also wants to extend her hand to the court, and she has a posture of wanting to emulate Wu Zetian, the empress of the Tang Dynasty.So... is she trying to delay the attack?Well, it's possible.The empress dowager's greatest ability is 'forbearance', which is somewhat similar to her biological mother.It seems that this time, the Empress Dowager wants to deal with herself with forbearance, and she will take action after she puts down her guard!

Although he has already noticed the queen mother's intentions, the fourth young master did not expose it. What he has to do now is to stabilize the queen mother, and then take her down in one fell swoop according to his predecessor's plan.So, the little fourth master pretended to be moved, and staged a good show of filial piety and mother kindness with the queen mother-hmph, compare acting skills with the master?That's just playing tricks!You know, when the master was five or six years old, he could pretend to be cute and innocent, and hang around in the palace.It's not a piece of cake to fool a self-righteous old queen!

With the empress dowager's deliberate approach and the fourth master's full cooperation, a grand drama of filial piety and loving mother was staged in the Palace of Compassion and Ning.Until the fourth master stood up to say goodbye, the queen mother still had a smile on her face.Of course, this is a smile that the Queen Mother thinks she has achieved her goal and is only showing her pride.

Not long after the fourth master walked out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, the smile on his face was withdrawn.He also wanted to give the queen mother some more opportunities, if she didn't cause trouble for himself, he could consider letting her spend her old age in peace.But from today's perspective, the Queen Mother's plan is not trivial-want to completely control him, the emperor?Hmph, it seems that he has to move faster.

Thinking of today's scene in compassionate peace, the fourth master couldn't help but miss his biological mother. That mother kept a low profile all her life and never caused trouble for him.With her sitting in the harem, I can handle the affairs of the court with peace of mind, and I can make 'private visits' from time to time.Even the queen mother of the last world can be regarded as a loving mother.Even in the face of his son's rude request, he just left the palace in anger, never thinking of abolishing...

However, Fourth Master Xiao didn't take this sudden sadness to heart, he was just a passerby in this world.As long as the Qing Dynasty in this world is governed well and a qualified heir is found, he can leave with meritorious deeds. The premise is that the so-called "Four Lords Party" of the magic horse, don't take it out on a whim. Throw yourself into a strange world!

The little fourth master, whose thinking unknowingly deviated from the right track, wandered in the palace.Tonight is dim, under the hazy moonlight, there is an intoxicating atmosphere.If in such an atmosphere, warm a pot of fine wine and drink with a beautiful woman... that would be great!The little fourth master couldn't help but think of the little beauty He Shen in the previous world, but it's a pity that in this world, his beauty bodyguard He Shen doesn't exist (Master, he wasn't born!).What a pity!
