"Weichen Taichang Temple Shaoqing Xie Hairong is meeting the emperor!" Xie Hairong kowtowed to pay his respects, met the emperor and the empress dowager one by one, knelt down and kowtowed to empress Zhao and concubine Wu, and then stood up with his hands down to accept the horoscope of Princess Xifan's birthday post.

"My lord, the status of the princes has always been honorable, and their birthdays are all sealed. Please also open the jade plate yourself, so that the minister can marry the princess." Xie Hairong leaned forward and said, naturally took out the clan jade plate in advance, His face was modest, and the corners of his eyes slightly slanted across Concubine Wu's pretty face.

Emperor Yuan nodded but didn't mention it, and turned to the front page of the red jade plate with his own hands, without looking at it in detail.It's just that even if the emperor personally initiates this flip, without this flip, no one in the world would dare to flip through the fate of the Tian family without authorization.

When the jade dish is opened, people on the ground can see the dragon's veins with their own eyes.Xie Hairong shouted loudly, knelt down with both hands holding the jade dish: "Mr. Xie Hairong accepts the order!"

The Shaoqing of Taichang Temple is the fourth rank, and he has come to take charge of the ritual and music matters of the Tianjia Festival. It is reasonable to say that he can't manage such a big matter.But Xie Hairong has done a lot of demigod work since he took office, calculating destiny, criticizing feng shui, looking at four pillars, combining horoscopes, and judging yin and yang, everything is appropriate, so any major event in the palace is willing to call Shaoqing to do the calculation. Emperor Yuan also attached great importance to it.

Xie Hairong came back from behind the screen in less than two sticks of incense, holding three pieces of golden millet raft paper, the light was beginning to appear transparent, bowed respectfully and said: "My lord, I have carefully combined the horoscopes of Princess Xifan and the princes. , the name approval has been written, and please have a look at your Majesty and the Queen Mother."

Empress Zhao couldn't help being flustered, she half stood up and hurriedly asked: "Please tell the truth, Shaoqing."

"To the Empress, I will congratulate the empress first! Although Princess Xifan does not think that the fate of his wife can help her husband's luck, the early life was so bumpy and unfavorable. It is indeed not too honorable, otherwise she would not send it out for marriage. But fortunately, this female character is honest, gentle and virtuous, and it is rare to put filial piety as the most important thing, and the image of the horoscope is a good match with the prince. Forgive me for saying something that was unintentional. A good man breaks the situation of hurting officials, and so does Tiancheng, a married couple. I dare say that if the crown prince marries the princess as his wife, there will be a bright future, and there will be many descendants from then on. However, the first prince and the third prince are more vicious, and they are all at odds with the princess. If the third prince marries the descendants of the princess Yi Ke, it will not benefit the blood of the Tian family. Colliding with each other is tantamount to putting the emperor at a disadvantage, it is really dangerous!"

The emperor glanced at Concubine Wu Gui and said in his heart, it really is vicious to a woman's heart.It is inevitable that the princess's fate is not high, and she can't fool the queen, but this trick is clever.The fate of this collision with the prince itself is second, and Concubine Wu Gui actually told her to subdue the royal blood and subdue the clan.If the empress dowager and the queen talk more to obstruct it, wouldn't it be a bad name for inhumanity and injustice?This move was too insidious, this woman had to guard against it.

Empress Zhao was also really frightened, with mixed feelings in her heart.Concubine Wu Guifei arranged a manpower to count Mo'er. This is a method that she has already guessed, and she can see that she has the ability to dismantle every trick.It's just that this pretext is really tricky, and there is no way to refute it, so I went to see the Empress Dowager as if looking for a savior, wondering if there would be a turn for the matter.

The queen mother was silent for a moment. At this point, it seemed that there was nothing to do.Before that, she was waiting for a glimmer of life in her heart, wondering where the prince kept his hand.Now he could only shake his head helplessly, and he didn't want to personally agree to the prince's marriage, so he stood in a stalemate for a moment, only to feel that the Taihe Palace was dark and the sky was dark, and even the dazzling golden dragon on the emperor's body was completely covered by this calculation.

Emperor Yuan didn't love Qi Mo since he was a child, and every time he watched the prince grow taller and taller, the expression in his brows became more shrewd, and the astrology of the two dragons playing with pearls reminded the suspicious emperor every day that his son must be killed.Although the blood of the Dragon Heir is precious, he is still in his prime. If he wants to, he can have another prince.It was not the original intention for the prince to be established back then, but it was actually to stabilize the queen mother's wings.In the past few years, the empress dowager's manpower has almost been removed, and it seems that the time has come for this unsatisfactory prince.

"Your servant greets the emperor, and Concubine Wu Gui." Su Xue brewed tea infused with loquat honey, thinking about the Queen Mother's cough and discomfort, she held it up and brought it up.Just now, he had greeted Empress Zhao, so he gave another blessing with tea, Shi Shiran moved forward with lotus steps and said.

Most of the winter palaces are equipped with earth dragons, coupled with the fact that the queen mother is afraid of the cold, the twelve large smoked cages with red gold and silver patterns have never been broken. warm.People must have a thirsty mouth after staying for a long time, let alone a man with strong yang energy like the emperor, who took the tea cup and hurriedly drank half of it, drank it to the bottom, and praised loudly: "This tea Yes, good tea is hard to come by. But this woman brewed it? Reward."

"Your Majesty, I would like to thank the Emperor for your kindness." Su Xue knelt to accept her kindness, and said eloquently, "Your Majesty, this tea is not obtained by my servant, but a folk recipe that the prince got by chance and sent it to honor the Empress Dowager." Baby. It is not easy to make. It needs to use the good tea leaves of the year to fully immerse the new honey of the old loquat tree, and stuff it in the jar to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon. It is made in late summer and taken out in cold winter. Then it is slowly melted in warm water. , it became the tea that His Majesty just drank. The prince is full of filial piety, and the emperor is connected with the prince and his son. It is good for His Majesty to drink it, and it has nothing to do with the ministers and daughters."

In this way, she gave the crown prince all the credit and did not take the limelight herself. Su Xue was really hard to find fault with.

The emperor originally thought that this girl was just a big servant girl used by the empress dowager. Hearing that she kept calling herself a courtier's daughter, and she was always cautious in her words, he took a closer look and felt that this girl was dressed plainly, spoke calmly, and the red branch on her hair The coral nasturtium bergamot hairpin looks familiar!This thing is the most precious thing in the Empress Dowager's heart. The first emperor once slapped the Empress Dowager with his own hands and shot down the hairpin and destroyed it.Now that the hairpin is tied in this girl's bun, she must be no longer a simple court lady.

"Get up, whose daughter are you?" the emperor asked kindly.The emperor's heart is poisonous and his eyes are even more poisonous. He always thinks of the worst in everything. Seeing this girl, his heart beats. Could it be that the Queen Mother wants to give her a little master again?But after thinking about it, I don't think so. Mrs. An has been favoring him a lot recently, and Su promised to come forward, and it will be enough to give her the status of a nobleman in two months.Give him a new color now?No, this is not the Queen Mother's method.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Su Xue lifted her body slowly, stood beside the Empress Dowager in a regular manner, handed the teacup to the Empress Dowager in her own hand, and said, "Return to Your Majesty, the servant girl came from the Chongyang Hou Mansion. Because of the Empress Dowager's one-hearted Xiangfo, and my daughter-in-law has a connection with Buddha since she was a child, so she was sent to the palace by her father to serve the queen mother. How about the queen mother try this tea? The daughter-in-law just couldn't hold back when brewing tea, which made the little girl greedy I secretly squeezed a piece of soft tea and swallowed it. Guess what? The little girl has eaten good food, but she has never tasted such a strange thing. Dozens of baskets of loquat fruit."

The Empress Dowager took a sip of the tea, it was moderately sweet, fragrant but not greasy, and she could taste the flavor of the tea. She raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's good, but you girl is afraid of being greedy, how can there be dozens of baskets of loquats that taste good?" ?”

Chongyang Houfu?Emperor Yuan twisted the bodhisattva on his wrist and asked: "Is it the daughter of Su Ling, the son of Su Yuanshan, the son of Su Yuanshan, the Prime Minister of Chongyang?"

"It's the minister's daughter." Su Xue smiled and nodded.

"That's how it is. Your family has been loyal and powerful for generations, and you have made great contributions to the dragon several times. Today, I still see the right minister and your father Su Ling in court. Now he is the Minister of History, recruiting talents for me, and it is also true. It's hard work, and I coughed a few times, I'm afraid I got angry." Emperor Yuan tasted the tea again, and sure enough the loquat fragrance had penetrated into the tea, and it was the best top grade for moistening.

"Why is Daddy coughing?" Su Xue stood up and asked in a panic.If Emperor Yuan said that he was afraid of two things, one was the fall of power, and the other was the collusion between the front court and the rear palace.Su Xue knew that if she entered the palace to serve the Empress Dowager, she would be regarded as a woman in the palace and a daughter of an important minister. She must not let the emperor suspect that she often communicated with the mansion, so she pretended not to know that her father had typhoid fever in winter. Crowded tightly.

"Of course you don't know in the palace." The emperor continued to test, not knowing why the girl came here, and asked: "The emperor can't be unfaithful. I just said that I want a reward. What kind of reward do you want? If you miss Madam Chongyang Hou can also go back and have a look."

Concubine Wu bowed at the side to remind the emperor that the matter here will come to an end soon, and she only waits for the sage to give an oral order, and forced herself to laugh: "Your Majesty, since Shaoqing of Taichang Temple has been married, how about Just first..."

"Well... well, if the emperor wants to reward the minister's daughter, why not reward the daughter to see the birthday of the princess too? The minister's daughter has studied under the master of the Great Treasure Hall since she was a child, and she knows a thing or two about the secrets of fortune. Now everyone in the palace knows that the Holy Majesty is worried about this matter, and the courtiers are not talented, and they can't do it themselves like their father and grandfather, so they can only do their best on this point. Naturally, the princes can't see their horoscopes, and they want to see the princess It doesn't matter. If you can really match up with any prince, the courtiers will congratulate you first." As he spoke, his face was naturally filled with joy, and he waited peacefully for the Queen Mother to speak.

The Empress Dowager naturally didn't know what the connection between Su Xue and the Crown Prince was. This marriage should be checked by more than one person, so she said: "The Ai family thinks it's good. Su Xue girl learned Buddhism from the master of the Great Treasure Hall, so the Princess Bang is not counted. Noble, you can see it naturally." He looked at the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, and said: "Xie Hairong, don't pass it to Su Xue girl to see how valuable the eight characters are, and they must be suitable for the crown prince."

Xie Hairong was a little dazed, and while looking at Concubine Wu Gui said: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's..." But the reward was said by the emperor himself, so he could only send it over with the raft paper, wiped his sleeves with sweat, and said: "But please, miss Take a look, think twice and speak carefully.”

"My lord thank you." Su Xue continued with a smile, holding up a gauze handkerchief with both hands, she began to look at it carefully, and saw that she was showing a bit of misery at first, perhaps lamenting how rough the princess' life was. Looking at the face again, it was calm as usual, the more I looked at it, the more joyful it became, and finally my eyes lit up, as if jumping up and shivering, I happily presented it to the Queen Mother, saying: "It's really a good match, it's really a good match! The sister of the princess may have had a rough early life, but she is a person with great fortune. The most rare thing is that she has a noble life, and she is born in a poor family but is not afraid of a good life. There is nothing better than a noble wife! If you marry a wife like this, you will be a husband Luck is like a tiger with wings."

"Presumptuous!" Concubine Wu Guifei was dressed in bright and gorgeous clothes today, and her heart was burning like a fire at this moment. She wished that someone would drag this girl out for no reason and beat her to death. She gritted her teeth but finally shouted sharply: "The emperor is here Dare to talk nonsense! How can a woman who is worthy of rank know the art of towering? Isn’t she bullying the emperor! Come on! Give me the mouth of this damn girl, and see if she dares to treat the matter of the fate of the country as a trifle!"

"Wait! My sister is speaking too seriously." Empress Zhao kept silent, but at this moment she finally regained her momentum, touched the lily necklace hanging from her head with one hand, slowly got up and said, "This palace is still here. The Empress Dowager is still here. If it is true, my sister, do you think it is the Taichang Temple Shaoqing Xie Hairong who deceived the emperor, or is this girl reckless?"

The author has something to say:

Prince's Hall at this moment

Xiaofuzi: If the prince marries a wife, he can no longer hug and hold me high, and he can't take me to listen to the corner. Do you want to find a chance to be presumptuous...

Prince Qi Mo: Come on!Pretentious!Anyway, girl Su Xue has already made arrangements, so it's nothing to do with me!Even if you are presumptuous to Gu!Don't take pity on Gu!Unbridled love!
