Zhen Huan and colleagues Mi Wan Ling Xin

, without losing the imperial demeanor! "The queen mother was also very happy, everyone below was very good at reading expressions, everyone smiled and echoed Xuan Ling, only Gu Mi sighed deeply, why such a lady like her gave birth to two female men!

The harem was peaceful, but the front court gradually became less peaceful.Xuanji, the king of Runan, not only arrived late in the early court, but also entered the palace in military uniform.This is very inappropriate, the palace is not a battlefield, nor is it returning from a victorious battle, wearing a military uniform as a prince, and coming late, it is just a show of strength.Before the emperor said anything, Zhang Rulin, the speech official and censor, immediately impeached the king of Runan for his disrespect.

The King of Runan was the head of the military generals in the imperial court, and he never paid attention to the civil servants and Confucian scholars who talked about Confucius and Mencius.Officials have the responsibility of supervising the country's etiquette system, admonishing the king for his faults, and criticizing the ministers for their mistakes. He has always been respected for speaking out.

The king of Runan was arrogant and arrogant by nature, he never put a small five-rank official in his eyes, he didn't attack him at the time, but he stopped Zhang Rulin on the way back to the mansion, he punched him, and knocked Zhang Rulin unconscious on the spot up.

As soon as this incident happened, it was like a boulder hit the water. For a while, literati and officials wrote letters, demanding that King Runan be severely punished to restore the court's law and order, but King Runan refused to admit his mistake, and even said he was ill and would not go to court again.

Xuan Ling was very worried about King Runan's unshakable tail and growing momentum. Although Xuan Ling had secretly gathered and disintegrated part of King Runan's forces because of Gu An and Gu Shouzhi, the Murong family also had Yu Yang, the second prince, and The King of Runan is not as close as before, but this incident has deepened the confrontation between Chinese and military officials in the court. If it is not handled properly, it will endanger the court.For this reason, Xuan Ling stayed in the imperial study for a whole day and did not come out.

The first person in the harem was Zhen Huan. After she heard about it, she ordered someone to stew bird's nest and went to visit Yiyuan Hall in person. However, Xuanling was not the only one in Yiyuan Hall at this time.Before lunch, Gu Mi was ordered by the queen mother to take her to prepare purple ginseng and pheasant soup to go to Yiyuan hall. Xuan Ling asked her to have lunch with her, and let her take a nap in the side hall by the way. For some reason, Xuan Ling felt that there was Gu Mi. His heart will be much quieter by his side.

"Huanhuan, you are here." At this time, Xuan Ling had just finished discussing with the ministers, and was a little tired, but his mood was much better, because Gu Shou had just proposed a solution.

Zhen Huan smiled gently: "You didn't disturb the emperor, did you?"

Xuan Ling shook his head, and said, "You should have heard about the past few days, right?"

Zhen Huan nodded slightly: "Yes. This matter has caused a lot of trouble. Although the concubine lives in the harem, she knows a thing or two. But even if the government is disturbing, the emperor must take good care of himself." She said and handed the bird's nest in front of him, and said with a smile: "I personally stewed it for a long time. The emperor discussed with the ministers for a long time. Would you like to taste it to moisten your throat?"

"Just leave it alone, I just used the purple ginseng and pheasant soup sent by Ming Zhaoyuan, my queen mother, and I can't use it anymore." Xuan Ling waved his hand.

Zhen Huan paused when she opened the food box, and said with a smile: "The concubine put it aside, the emperor wants to eat."

"Well. What do you think about the matter of King Runan?"

When Zhen Huan heard the words, her thoughts were confused, so she changed her mind and calmed down and said: "As the emperor of a country, of course, the emperor must deal with it according to the law and justice, but--it is not to punish the King of Runan..." Zhen Huan said one way, and said it in one breath. She explained her opinion to Xuan Ling.

Xuanling narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Zhen Huan, said "oh" in surprise, and said, "Your opinion is the same as Gu Aiqing's. The king of Runan fears his wife like a tiger, so naturally he obeys his wife's orders. And Ru Nan Wang and his wife are already extremely precious, I plan to make an exception and make his eldest daughter Qingcheng Zongji Empress; and then make the son of King Runan the eldest son."

"The emperor is wise, and his idea is very sound. However, the concubine wants to not only be named Emperor Ji, but also the title should be changed, so I proposed the word 'Gongding', which can be regarded as a reminder to her father and king from time to time, to 'respect and stabilize' Naturally, the emperor also wants to resolve the misfortune of his brothers without going to war. It just depends on whether the prince can understand the grace of heaven. He also respectfully decided that the emperor's concubine will be educated in the palace and raised by the queen mother herself—if something happens in the future, You can also hold King Runan temporarily."

While Xuan Ling was deep in thought, a cool and lazy female voice came: "It's not right."

"Wu Hou woke up, but did it disturb you?"

"Why, just now you discussed with the ministers and failed to wake me up."

Zhen Huan listened to the two of them, you and me, and her heart was sour, so she interrupted: "What is the 'inappropriate' that Ming Zhaoyuan just said?"

Gu Mi looked anxious: "Forgive me for being presumptuous, I know that the harem is not allowed to be involved in politics, but Guan Guifei said that it is really inappropriate to hand over Emperor Gongding to the Queen Mother to raise her. Not to mention that the Queen Mother is not in good health and can't take care of Gongding Di Ji, just say that everyone knows that the King of Runan is arrogant and has a violent temper, how can he bear it when his daughter is named as a proton?"

These words made Xuan Ling suddenly realize, Zhen Huan broke out in cold sweat, but she was speechless to refute, so she made amends: "The emperor forgives the sin, and this concubine please come forward to persuade Princess Runan to make amends."

A cold light flashed in Xuan Ling's eyes, and he looked deeply at Zhen Huan, with a smile that was no different from usual at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Huan Huan and Wan Wan are both kind-hearted, and they want to share my worries, I understand. I will leave the matter of persuading Princess Runan to you." Let the mother go." Zhen Huan was taken aback, her face full of annoyance.Xuan Ling saw it in her eyes and kept it in her heart. She could no longer let Zhen Huan, a substitute, interfere in the government. She might want to force the King of Runan against him, and use my hand to avenge her personal revenge!

The atmosphere here is really weird, so it's better for her to dodge first, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, I'm going back to Yilan Hall to see the two emperor concubines, I'm leaving."

"Well, go back first, I will go to your place later."

"Okay, I'll wait for you then."

Zhen Huan was twisting a small handkerchief at the side, good Ming Zhaoyuan, my sister and sister usually cut me off today, let's wait and see!

063. When the wind is raging

The winter is cold, but the Yining Palace is very warm, and the familiar light sandalwood fragrance blows over the face.

When Gu Mi walked into the inner room, the Empress Dowager was sitting on the bed with Aunt Sun helping her to drink the medicine.Seeing Gu Mi coming in, her expression softened a little, and Aunt Zhuxi smiled and said, "Ming Zhaoyuan is here."

Gu Mi went to the Empress Dowager's couch: "Greetings to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is blessed and safe."

"Come on, what Jin'an, as long as this body is better, Aijia will be satisfied." She said, "Taking medicine every day doesn't help, so I don't know what it's good for, it smells like medicine. "

"Good medicine tastes bitter. Isn't the Queen Mother in better health recently?" Gu Mi sat beside the Queen Mother's bed, stretched out her hand to tuck the quilt that had slipped off her body, and replied with a smile.

The queen mother glanced at her, and said in a calm manner: "You were also present when the emperor wanted Aijia to persuade Princess Runan, right?"

Gu Mi was startled, and in a blink of an eye, she said as usual: "That day, the Empress Dowager asked my concubine to deliver soup to the Yiyuan Hall, probably because the government was bothered, so the emperor left my concubine to gossip about the family affairs in the Yiyuan Hall. The concubine said a few words to her and went back to Yilan Hall to see Yuyi and Yujie."

"I'm afraid those few sentences are not simple." The queen mother said calmly.

Gu Mi hurriedly knelt down and said: "The concubine is guilty, and the harem is not allowed to be a political concubine. I don't dare or forget it all the time."

The Queen Mother smiled gently and said: "You are fine. Although Mrs. Zhen was wrong, there were no bad consequences because of you. However, Mrs. Zhen's actions can easily lead to an unhealthy trend. Concubine Guangui discusses government affairs arbitrarily, and the Ai family intends to demote her For Jieyu, what do you think?"

Gu Mi lowered her head and said, "I dare not speak nonsense. It's just that Concubine Guangui has just come out of the pain of losing a child, and this time it's just out of kindness..."

The queen mother pondered for a moment, and motioned to Aunt Sun to help her up: "Forget it, the Ai family will punish her to kneel outside Shoukang Palace for two hours. Bamboo breath, you go to announce the decree." Aunt Sun retreated in response.

Gu Mi said a few more homely things to the Queen Mother, and when Aunt Sun reported that Zhen Huan was already kneeling outside, the Empress Dowager looked a little cold and said she was tired, so Gu Mi and Aunt Sun waited for her to sleep.The queen mother really doesn't want to see Zhen Huan.Just imagine who would dare to disturb the queen mother's sleep to plead for Zhen Huan?Even Shen Meizhuang, who is pregnant, would not dare, she has not met the queen mother a few times now!

Gu Mi walked out of Yining Palace, and was blown by the biting cold wind, her whole body became much clearer.Jiang is still old and spicy. I believe that the Queen Mother knew all about it during the conversation in Yiyuan Hall that day. It seems that she is going to be ill again.

Looking at Zhen Huan who was kneeling on the ice and snow, Gu Mi walked over with an apologetic face: "Sister Wan, just now my sister spoke well with the Queen Mother, but when I suddenly mentioned this matter, my sister was also shocked, but the Queen Mother looked furious, My younger sister really doesn't dare to persuade her deeply, I hope elder sister Guan will forgive me."

Zhen Huan's face froze: "My sister is serious. Although I didn't mean it, it was indeed my fault. The queen mother should punish me."

"In this case, the younger sister will go back to Yilan Hall first, and this stove will be used to keep warm for older sister, so as not to froze the emperor's heart." After saying that, she turned around and got on the sedan chair, which gradually turned into black spots in Zhen Huan's eyes until she couldn't see them.

On the second day, Gu Mi started to have a high fever, which alarmed the Empress. The imperial hospital racked their brains and finally the fever subsided after a few days. They just wanted to rest. After hearing this, Xuan Ling spared Gu Mi's morning and evening meditation.

When Gu Mi was awake, Xuan Ling sat by her bed. Seeing that she was awake, Xuan Ling ordered someone to heat up the fine rice porridge that had been prepared earlier, "Why is it that you are sick again?"

Gu Mi said weakly: "Maybe it's because I caught a cold while talking with Sister Wan outside Yining Palace yesterday, it's not a problem."

"It's okay! You've been on fire for three days! You're almost gone! Yu Yi Yujie's voice is hoarse from crying, and she keeps calling 'mother concubine'. And this time, I was scared enough " Xuan Ling felt scared after speaking, and kept holding Gu Mi's hand tightly, telling himself that she was still there.

"sorry that I had you worried
