[Comprehensive] Empress Variations

"Be careful, all of you here are things that the Queen Mother likes. If it breaks, you can't afford it!" Bai Qin carefully instructed the servants to put all the things in Xun Yingxin's residence, especially the important ones. She has to take care of things herself.

This North Palace palace is not worse than the Jiaofang Palace, although it is not as luxurious as the Jiaofang Palace, it is also elegant.From Bai Qin's point of view, it is more suitable for the Queen Mother's current temperament.

Xun Ying was sitting in the hall watching the servants busy. Before she moved here, Liu Xiu had already had the palace cleaned up.Just put your things in place and you can move in.The servants around her were also brought directly from Jiaofangdian. After she left like this, Jiaofangdian became an empty shell instead.

It stands to reason that even if she is the Queen Mother of Zhongshan now, she will have fewer servants around her than the Queen.Now these servants around her, it can be said that they have become more polite.I don't know if Liu Xiu forgot, or deliberately gave her this special case.No matter what it is, she can't just suffer in silence.

She is well aware of the emperor's ups and downs, and now that he is in a good mood, he can ignore these small mistakes.If one day he was in a bad mood, I'm afraid he would settle the old and new scores together.In front of the emperor, only those who remain cautious can live long and be favored.

"The Emperor is here!"

Hearing the voice from outside the door, Xun Ying put away her lazy posture.

The servants also quickly put down all the work in their hands, gathered in the center of the hall, followed behind Guo Shengtong and saluted Liu Xiu. "See the emperor!"

"Everyone get up." Liu Xiu nodded and walked towards the chief seat in the center of the hall.Sitting there, he glanced down and frowned slightly when he saw the chaotic hall. "Just do what you have to do, you don't need to wait here."

It was late when he came, and the hall was still in such a chaotic state, how could Guo Shengtong live comfortably like this.One or two of these slaves are not in a hurry. If there are too many people, it is like this. If there are fewer people, I don't know what it will be like to serve them.

"Yes!" The servants hurriedly dispersed, doing what they really needed to do.However, it was obviously not as casual as before.Those servants who specialize in placing things in the hall, although they can cross the hall to the other side, would rather go out quietly from one side.Go farther and detour, and then walk in.In this way, although the distance traveled is a bit longer, it can be guaranteed that he will not dangle in front of the emperor.

"Huang..." Seeing that the servants were busy, Liu Xiu turned her attention to Guo Shengtong.Before he came here, he felt that everyone would call Guo Shengtong wrong today, but he didn't expect that even he himself would habitually want to call Guo Shengtong the queen.

Now she is no longer a queen, such a title is really out of date, he needs a new title.Calling the Empress Dowager Zhongshan is undoubtedly quite alienated.Calling the queen mother always makes him feel that Guo Shengtong is very old.So……

"Don't be polite, Tong'er, just sit down." Liu Xiu subconsciously thought of this title, he always called Yin Lihua Lihua.Calling Guo Shengtong, she used such a nickname before she was named empress.After she sealed her title, he rarely used this title again.Now that he uttered this title out of his own mouth again, he seemed very used to it.

Xun Ying raised her head subconsciously, her body was a little stiff.Seeing the smile on Liu Xiu's face that seemed to be the same as before, she directly looked away. "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Even when Guo Shengtong was dissatisfied with his handling of affairs in the past, this basic etiquette has always been rigid, showing the demeanor of a true royal family.Liu Xiu is very used to her rigid look in some places, "I have already seen the things that Tong'er sent to the Quefei Palace."

The things Guo Shengtong sent to the Quefei Hall were all things that could only be used by the queen. He only needed to check them before he could put those things away or destroy those clothes that could not be reused.

"But is there something missing? The concubine can be checked carefully." Xun Ying's complexion was more serious than usual, with an extraordinarily businesslike tone.

"The things are complete." Liu Xiu frowned subconsciously, and soon relaxed.It can be said that as long as it is contaminated with a trace of prohibited items, Guo Shengtong has someone send it to him intact.Whether it was rewarded by his famous words or decree, or he gave it to her in private, they were returned to him without any reservation.

Guo Shengtong also asked people to ask that the servants in her palace were afraid that they had exceeded the limit, and asked when the emperor ordered the reduction.Just after the imperial decree was issued in the morning, Guo Shengtong packed up all his things in the afternoon and moved into the North Palace in a mighty manner.This made him feel that Guo Shengtong couldn't wait.

A few days ago, he paid great attention to the back position, but his performance now made him feel too big a gap.

"Why is Tong'er in such a hurry to go to the North Palace? I see that there are still so many things in the North Palace that are not properly arranged, why should you wrong yourself?"

"If the concubine has been occupying the Jiaofang Palace, someone may think that the concubine is dissatisfied with the emperor's imperial decree. Even if it is uncomfortable, it will take two or three days at most, and sooner or later they will move in." Casually, "Now that the concubine is no longer the queen, living in the Jiaofang Palace is not a good name, I'm afraid I can't even sleep well. It's better to come here early."

Liu Xiu naturally could see that Guo Shengtong really didn't show any grievances, she looked extraordinarily calm at this moment.That's right, the matter of abolishing the empress itself was what she asked for, even if she had struggled before, she had already struggled before.

Guo Shengtong, who is so calm now, is inexplicably more attractive.Not only did he think so, he even heard private discussions from the court ladies that Guo Shengtong was younger than a few days ago.When did the Queen's position become her burden? !

Liu Xiu never thought that the second position would become a burden for Guo Shengtong.However, today's performance does seem to illustrate this point.

Seeing that Liu Xiu's eyes were in a trance, Xun Ying said another sentence. "The country cannot be without a queen, the emperor probably already has his own plans. The courtiers and concubines vacated their positions early so that the emperor can continue to take the next move."

"I..." I have no plans to stand up for the time being.Liu Xiu wanted to speak like this, and saw the servants walking around in the hall, seemingly concentrating on their own affairs, but in fact they all had a pair of ears pricked up.He swallowed what he wanted to say again.

He did plan to abolish Guo Shengtong and Liyin Lihua at the beginning, and even the imperial decree was written.However, that imperial decree had already been burned by him in the Quefei Temple.The choice Guo Shengtong made was beyond his expectations. She cooperated so well, so naturally he should know how to reciprocate.

Of course, he knew in his heart that this was just a high-sounding reason.Because of Guo Shengtong's "asking to resign from the post", he couldn't help but link Yin Lihua's "resignation from the post".Afterwards, he discovered that what he thought of as love had been stained.

Now let the later position be vacant for a while, so that the prince Liu Jiang will be more mature.If one day he establishes Yin Lihua as his empress, he won't be too embarrassed.

In Xun Ying's line of sight, there was a clear look, and the smile on his lips was slightly evoked.It looks so simple and beautiful.

Liu Xiu also smiled back, Guo Shengtong is much smarter now.Getting along like this really makes people feel comfortable. He doesn't know how long it has been since he got along with Guo Shengtong in such a harmonious way.As long as I saw her in the past, I seemed to be able to hear the repeated complaints.

"Sister Yin is your original wife, Your Majesty, and it is what the world expects if the 'original wife returns'." Xun Ying raised her head and looked in the direction of Jiaofangdian, her voice suddenly lowered. "It's not yours. No matter how extravagantly you ask for it, you can't hold it in your hands. The concubine has been begging for more than ten years. It should be too late to restore everything to the original track."

Liu Xiu's smile was a little stiff, and the twitching corners of her lips even looked a little funny.His gaze towards Guo Shengtong was obviously sharp.He thought that Guo Shengtong could guess her intentions, but now he saw that Guo Shengtong was really the same as before, and he would never look at his face.

Rarely, this time he was only a little bit entangled in his heart, without any feeling of disgust.Hearing her talking to herself, he felt a bit of unspeakable sourness in his heart.

Today's Guo Shengtong seems to be much quieter.It's not as bright and sunny as it was when I was young, nor is it a bit gloomy under the pride of the past ten years.She seems to have put away all the edges and corners, like a stubborn stone, which has been polished to the smoothest appearance. "If Yin Lihua becomes the queen, where will you put Jiang'er?!"

The smile on Xun Ying's face finally subsided, she got up from her seat, and saluted Liu Xiu. "The courtiers and concubines have never dared to talk about the affairs of the court. I just ask the emperor, even if Jiang'er can't afford this big Han country in the future, I still want to leave a clear path for him out of the love of father and son."

"Jiang'er and I have a deep father-son relationship, how can we be unfeeling?! Jiang'er is now a qualified prince, and I am very satisfied." Liu Xiu stretched out her hand to help Guo Shengtong up, and sighed slightly.

He also knew that Liu Jiang's position as the crown prince was a bit precarious.As the crown prince of a country, it would be very dangerous if he could not successfully inherit the throne.Guo Shengtong was very worried about Liu Jiang, but he understood.

In such a situation, he still didn't open his mouth to directly say that he had no plans to stand up for the time being.In the future, Guo Shengtong will naturally know.

'now'?Xun Ying lowered her eyes, with some enlightenment in her eyes.It's just that I feel qualified 'now', but I don't know what it will look like in the future.It's not that Liu Xiu has no intention of changing the prince at all, there is always a leeway in his words.

However, what Liu Xiu said in person would not be unfeeling, if he didn't want to be someone who violated his words, he would always leave a way out for Jiang'er.Even if, Liu Jiang will never ask to resign from the position of prince in his life.

"My concubine thanks the emperor for his kindness." Xun Ying saluted and thanked her, and the smile on her lips curved up again.
