On the night of the Lantern Festival, the emperor dressed up at Xuandemen to watch the song and dance rehearsed by the geisha in the palace. People outside the palace can also come to the stage to watch and see the sky. This morning, some people crowded downstairs in Xuandemen, because they saw this year. will be the Empress.A few years ago, Emperor Tianshun held a grand meeting here with his empress. Later, Emperor Zhenhua was too young and had internal and external troubles. The people have not seen such a scene for many years.

The Shenji Battalion is also facing a big enemy, even the Imperial Army has mobilized a part of them to search and search the people who squeezed under the city tower one by one, fearing that whoever has a hidden weapon like a firecracker, if there is an incident of assassinating the emperor, it will be fine ?

At first, the people who were searched were very upset, but later notices were posted on both sides of the city tower, saying that Emperor Lijing ruled the country benevolently and cared about the people, and that the common people could not kneel down and worship the emperor when they saw the emperor.Everyone found this news novel and interesting, because since the emperor Taizu in the previous dynasty, the holy car has been patrolling, and the roadsides are all heavily guarded, and the doors of the houses are required to be closed, not to stop and look around, not to look around, and not to kneel down when seeing the holy car within fifty steps Those who are polite will be held accountable.

Now the female emperor doesn't ask the people to kneel down, it's really strange!

As the sky darkened, the Xuandemen tower began to light up the lights, and the stage on the square below was decorated with lights and festoons, colorful and gorgeous, and the whole tower was like daytime inside and outside.

Liang Guanjing appeared on the city tower with dozens of civil and military officials, drums and music blared, and the performance began.

Shenjiying waited and watched up and down the city tower, naturally not watching the singing and dancing performances, but paying attention to people acting suspiciously. The Jinwu Guard, Habayashi Guard and others also mobilized a lot of people to intersperse them.

Su Mingyue and Wang Wanyan were not dressed gorgeously today, so they could not steal the emperor's limelight. The two wives sat in the corner, watching the performance while looking back at the emperor from time to time.

"That dress is really a little tight, I think she is almost out of breath." Su Mingyue felt a little sorry, ashamed of the emperor, for letting her suffer this crime for nothing, but the people under the city tower didn't see it so clearly of.

Wang Wanyan hugged Mrs. Tang, and said with a giggle, "Don't tell me, this dragon robe is really pretty, it complements her very beautifully."

Sure enough, she only saw halfway through, before the fireworks started, Liang Guanjing couldn't take it anymore, she got up and said goodbye to the few ministers in front of her, she left the throne with Lianxiang Xiyu and others, and walked towards Su Mingyue.

"Leaving?" Su Mingyue said.

Liang Guanjing said: "I have to go back and change my clothes."

The two ladies followed her together and retreated from the tower.

"The clothes are really so tight?" Su Mingyue stuck out her tongue.

"It's okay, but there's no need to watch the whole scene."

"what?"

Liang Guanjing said: "Let's change our clothes and go play outside the palace?"

Lianxiangxiyu turned pale with shock, "Your Majesty..."

Liang Guanjing also knew their embarrassment. When she was the empress dowager, she would leave the palace if she wanted to, but now that she is the emperor, she can't be so willful.Since ancient times, more emperors have been assassinated than empress dowagers. Besides, if the queen is gone, marry another one, and the queen mother will be gone if she doesn't have one. However, if the emperor is assassinated, it will be an earth-shattering event, and it will follow The prince's seizure of the throne, court struggles, and even military turmoil may occur.Every time Liang Guanjing goes out of the palace, it is bound to be laborious. The guards in front of the imperial guard are tense, fearing that there will be mistakes. Many people still have prejudices against the empress, and it is inevitable if someone comes to assassinate.

Su Mingyue persuaded: "Don't make things difficult for Xiang Xiyu, it's not easy for them to follow you."

Liang Guanjing sighed, "I wanted to take you out of the palace to watch the lanterns. When we were in Nangong..."

Su Mingyue raised her hand to caress her face, "When you become the emperor, you won't be as self-willed as before."

Seeing her frivolous tone, Liang Guanjing was obviously teasing herself, and after glaring at her, she also gave up the idea of ​​going out of the palace in disguise.

Wang Wanyan said: "Let's go back to the city tower, we can watch the fireworks later."

Liang Guanjing nodded, shook Su Mingyue's hand, and walked a few steps. Su Mingyue turned to Wang Wanyan and said, "Come together?"

Wang Wanyan was happy, then angry, "You don't even let me hold her hand, it's boring, I might as well go back to the palace and have a drink with Yuanyuan Xiaoyu and the others."

"Holding hands is still fine." Su Mingyue said.

Afraid that she would repent, Wang Wanyan immediately stepped forward and took Liang Guanjing's other arm, and snuggled her entire upper body into the embrace of the emperor.

Naturally, Su Mingyue regretted it a little. This person insisted on opening a dyeing workshop just because of his color. It's not easy to turn his back on what he said just now.

Liang Guanjing secretly made a cold expression to Su Mingyue, which made Su Mingyue laugh.

So the emperor took the two wives back to the tower of Xuanwu Gate, and the people immediately cheered when they saw it, and secretly speculated that the emperor was also a human being, and he needed to go there for convenience.It must be convenient to leave just now.

After the singing and dancing, there was a lively firework show, and the imperial guards had no intention of watching it. Amid the lively explosions, the guards who were close to him couldn't help leaning towards the emperor, fearing that something might happen at this time.

Fortunately, the Lantern Festival passed peacefully.

On the second day, people in the streets and alleys were commenting on the Lantern Festival, saying how the empress is so beautiful that people can’t open their eyes, that she is the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and guessing who the two fairy-like beauties are around the empress. Logically, the empress should like male pets, Could it be that like other emperors, he was a concubine?Some people also said that beside the empress is the maidservant in the palace, and it is also said that Tang Yixin, the chief minister of the cabinet, has retired and went home to retire. Nestling next to the emperor upstairs is Mrs. Korea.

These rumors were passed back to Liang Guanjing's ears after several hands, she watched Su Mingyue lower her head and seriously review the memorial, and said: "What you are doing now is what the cabinet is doing, how about I call you into the cabinet formally? "

Su Mingyue said: "Who said that, I am reviewing the memorial for you now, and I will do my best to help you accomplish whatever you want to do. If I think it is inappropriate, I will persuade you. If it is not possible to persuade you There is no other way, but you can’t control them if the cabinet refuses to do things for you. I am here to accompany you, and I see you in front of my eyes. You want me to spend a lot of time with them in the cabinet’s chamber I don’t like to go to discuss state affairs.”

"You can always ask for a title."

Su Mingyue still shook her head, "With a title, what I do is not about the cabinet, it's nondescript. And I'm afraid that after I join the cabinet, the higher-ups will quarrel with you about some things, which will hurt the harmony. I just want to be a virtuous person I don’t want to be a cabinet minister.”

"Is this what you're doing?"

Su Mingyue said: "Why don't you praise me for being indifferent to fame and fortune?"

Liang Guanjing had nothing to do with her, so the matter came to an end.

Suddenly, one day Su Mingyue heard rumors that the Lantern Festival would be held on the tower of Xuanwu Gate, and the person who was nestled next to the emperor was Mrs. Han. She was so angry that she twisted the handkerchief in her hand and said viciously: "This time it will be done." Her wish has been granted!"

Liang Guanjing asked her to calm down.

"I want to join the cabinet! I want to be a bachelor, and I want to leave my name in history!" she said.

Liang Guanjing touched his nose, "Really?"

"really!"

In this way, Liang Guanjing adjusted the cabinet and awarded Su Mingyue a Bachelor of the Eastern Pavilion. However, everything else remained the same, and Su Mingyue didn't have to go to the Wenhua Palace to face the other cabinet staff day and night. There was even a long period of time in the cabinet. Didn't know they had this female colleague.Because there is no fixed number of people in the cabinet, in the first few years before Emperor Lijing ascended the throne, there were personnel transfers from time to time. The Dongge University scholar was at the bottom of the cabinet. No one got this title and no one cared. The salary of a bachelor turned out to be Mrs. Korea.But since it was His Majesty's will, Mrs. Han has been serving in the imperial study, and no one else has bothered.It wasn't until the eighth year of Lijing that Meng Wenjun was transferred back to the capital from the local area. Because of his outstanding political achievements, he was elected to the cabinet and was awarded the title of Dongge University Bachelor. Only then did Mrs. Han be promoted to Wenyuan Pavilion University Bachelor.From the beginning to the end, this mysterious cabinet member was more of another invisible cabinet next to the emperor. In the decision-making of many major events, Emperor Li Jing would listen to her opinions.

An incident happened not long after the Lantern Festival, which led Liang Guanjing to dismiss Zhao Huaijin and promote Ling Haoran, the commander of Shangzhiwei, to the commander-in-chief of the 36 guards of the imperial army.The cause of the incident was very dumbfounding. Ever since Mrs. Rongguo cut off contact with Zhao Huaijin, I don't know if he had tasted the sweetness and couldn't stop, so he kept a concubine without telling his wife at home.Zhao Huaijin, the first wife, has a lot of background. When her husband was still raising horses in Xishan, she knew a hero and married Zhao Huaijin. Since then, Zhao Huaijin has been promoted all the way, and her career has been smooth.Mrs. Liu, who is so prosperous, is helplessly a shrew. After letting her know that Zhao Huaijin had raised an outside room, she kept arguing day and night. One day during the dispute, Zhao Huaijin accidentally slapped Fa's wife to death.

The old man went to the imperial court to complain.

The big insider beside Liang Guanjing believed that Zhao Huaijin's so-called "missing" was intentional. As a big insider, he was very good at controlling his strength. Not paralyzed all over, so Zhao Huaijin was dismissed by the emperor because of "not good at learning".For quite a period of time in the second half of his life, he went to court with his father-in-law because of the "wife killing case". Although he was not sent to prison in the end, his reputation was ruined and he lost his official position.Under the recommendation of Mrs. Rong Guo, Zhao Huaijin later went to Yangzhou and became the head of the guards of Qinlou Chuguan Gambling Shop and Bank. .

Ling Haoran and the 36 elites who were under the Yanmen Pass have been walking up and down in the [-] Guards of the Imperial Army since then. Nor can she see her lover often.

Mrs. Rongguo is now in her early thirties, her charm remains the same as before, but her appetite for good friends has gradually changed.In the past, she liked Kong Wu's strong men, but after thirty, she likes handsome young men. There are often beautiful young men in the clan who come and go to the South Study Room. How can these fledgling young men escape from Mrs. Rong Guo's palm.

Soon there were rumors outside the palace, saying that the empress had started raising male pets, and there were more than one.

Liang Guanjing was at a loss until Su Mingyue pointed out to her the beautiful young man who went in and out of Jianzhang Palace.

"It's unreasonable to ask me to carry this scapegoat?!"

Su Mingyue reminded: "Yunqing will be fifteen soon."

Liang Guanjing turned pale with shock.
