thank you + extra

Liu Zao frowned, but didn't say anything, walked up the steps, sat down on the throne, and then looked at Gong'e.

Gong'e used to plant flowers and weeds in the Empress Dowager's palace, and rarely appeared in the front hall, and could not even get near the Empress Dowager's side.Today, the Empress Dowager suddenly summoned her, and said to her in a pleasant manner: "I don't know if the emperor is used to living in Ganquan Palace, you go and have a look for me."

It has been half a month since Sheng Jia arrived at Ganquan Palace, it seems a bit late to ask if he is used to it or not.Although she was puzzled, she dared not disobey orders, and came to see His Majesty as soon as she left the palace.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the palace, His Majesty would stare at her, everything was out of line.No matter how stupid Gong'e is, she still doesn't know what's wrong.Fearing that he was about to die here, his whole body was shaking.

Liu Zao's eyebrows tightened even more, and the scene when Xie Xiangshang came back appeared in her mind.

She was sitting there, wearing an elegant curly train.She has a bad temper and always likes to irritate her, but she likes to be elegant, her dresses are all light-colored, and her makeup is also light.She sat there, when she didn't speak, there was a smile on the corner of her lips, the corners of her eyes were slender, but the pupils were so deep, as unapproachable as a distant mountain in the sky, and as gentle as water surrounded by mist in the early morning.

Liu Zao's expression turned cold suddenly, and his eyes looking at Gong'e were as cold as ice: "No. Don't shake, sit upright."

Gong'e didn't know what was wrong, but she understood and sat upright, and hurriedly adjusted her body.

Liu Zao's voice slowed down: "Put your hands on your knees."

Gong'e hurriedly obeyed.

"Keep your chin up."

Gong'e raised her chin.

"Don't let your eyes fluster."

Gong'e tried her best to calm down and make her eyes calm, but she couldn't restrain her panic, but after a while, fear appeared in her eyes again.This time the emperor did not correct her again, her voice was more gentle, and she comforted: "Don't panic, you've done well, I'll let you go."

She is the emperor, but she is just a lowly palace maid who tends flowers and plants, and has no other way but to obey orders.His Majesty promised to let her go, but Gong'e was really appeased.

She relaxed her shoulders first, so that her whole body was not so tense, then slightly raised her lips, showing a light smile, and then raised her chin so that her chin was parallel to her knees, and turned her face slightly to the emperor.

This is what Liu Zao taught her.

There was surprise in Liu Zao's eyes.Hu Ao at the side set off a storm in his heart.This Gong'e was originally similar to Xie Xiang Wufen, but with His Majesty's guidance, Wufen suddenly became Qifen.

Liu Zao looked at Gong'e, as if something had been released in his heart.

There was a thunder outside the hall, the wind suddenly rose, and the rain fell, making a loud noise.Gong'e was frightened, her eyes widened and her body trembled.

Liu Zao looked at her fascinated, while watching, thinking, if Prime Minister Xie had such a complexion, how charming it would be.

It was raining heavily, and although His Majesty agreed to let her go, she couldn't go for a while.Gong'e was still sitting on the couch, but His Majesty didn't speak any more, nor looked at her.Gong'e didn't know what to do, she didn't dare to step down, she didn't dare to move, so she had to sit still.

The rain in summer night comes and goes quickly.In less than half an hour, the rain stopped.

Liu Zao raised her head and looked at Gong'e again, the ups and downs in her heart calmed down like a sudden rain, and said, "Back off."

Gong'e hurriedly got down from the couch as if she had been pardoned, gave a hasty salute, and then left the hall.

Liu Zao's heart also calmed down.She closed her eyes, and Xie Yi's appearance in the darkness appeared in her mind.

It rained at night, and there was plenty of water vapor in the morning, but it was not so hot.Liu Zao used the court food, read two more Fus, got up and went to the Empress Dowager's Hall.

She seldom went to see the Queen Mother, and this was the first time she came.

The Empress Dowager expected that she would come, but she didn't say a word about what happened last night, and said with a smile: "I'm going for a walk in the garden, how about your majesty go with me?"

Liu Zao agreed.

The queen mother can always say some twists and turns.Liu Zao listened patiently every time.I thought that the Empress Dowager would be able to speak frankly when I came here today, but I didn't want it to be like this palace road, with twists and turns.

"Emperor Xiaowen is benevolent, filial, generous, diligent and simple, but he believes in ghosts and gods, so he can live forever." The queen mother said casually like a chat.

But Liu Zao knew that what she said must have intentions, so he listened carefully.

"One hot summer day, Emperor Wen stayed in the Qingliang Hall at night. The Qingliang Hall was cool and comfortable, dispersing the heat of the night. As soon as Emperor Wen touched his pillow, he fell into a drowsy sleep. He had a dream. Go up to the heavenly steps, climb up the steps, and then you can enter the heavenly world. Emperor Wen went happily and went up to the heavenly steps. Unexpectedly, halfway through the journey, the heavenly steps suddenly disappeared. Emperor Wen turned pale with fright, thinking that he was about to fall. He fell to his death on the ground. Just as Emperor Wen was panicking, a Huangtou Lang came behind him."

"Huang Toulang wore a single short shirt with a horizontal waist, and the belt was tied behind his back. He pushed Emperor Wen up to the Heavenly Palace. The next day, Emperor Wen woke up from his dream and went to Jiantai according to the instructions in his dream. Huang Toulang."

"Can you find it?" Liu Zao asked.

The queen mother nodded: "I found it, it is Deng Tong."

When Liu Zao first heard Deng Tong, he didn't know who it was. When the Queen Mother looked at her with a half-smile, he remembered that Deng Tong was a courtier of Emperor Wen.

Thinking of what happened last night, Liu Zao glanced at the Queen Mother.

Seeing that she had thought of it, the queen mother waved back the palace people, and continued: "The emperor of the Han family is very masculine. Emperor Wen has Deng Tong, and Emperor Wu has Han Yan. When you come to His Majesty, it is not a strange story to favor one or two women."

After she finished speaking, she turned slightly sideways, and the palace lady not far away came into Liu Zao's eyes.

It was the palace maid from last night, she was bending over to collect dew among the flowers.Before she knew it, she had become a scene, falling into the eyes of others, and she was holding the petals carefully, causing the dew to roll into a small urn.

"How about I give this palace servant to His Majesty?" said the Queen Mother.

Liu Zao looked away and said, "No need."

She refused categorically, but the Queen Mother was not displeased at all, her smile deepened, her eyes fell on the maid, she looked back and forth, as if picking on a dead thing, and said: "Beauty is beautiful, but it has no aura, it is really not as good as it is." Thank you Xiangyuan."

She directly pointed it out, and the word "Xie Xiang" seemed to pluck Liu Zao's heartstrings.She pretended not to know, and said, "What does the Queen Mother mean?"

"Your Majesty is well aware of this. Even if your majesty finds it interesting for a lowly palace man, if you dote on her for two days, you will definitely feel dull. It's not as touching as Xie Xiang's charm."

Liu Zao's chest heaved up and down, as if moved by intention.

"If your Majesty wants to be in charge, Prime Minister Xie must be removed. You and I might as well join hands, and when things come to fruition, Prime Minister Xie will naturally be at His Majesty's disposal. A high-ranking prime minister must be proud and arrogant. Your Majesty will pull her onto the dragon couch. When the time comes, she Do you want to yell loudly and try your best to protect your chastity, or resign yourself to your fate and let your majesty pick it up?" The queen mother's voice was slightly lowered, as if she was creating a dream.

Liu Zao knew that he should be more careful when facing her, but when Xie Yi was involved,

She can't help herself.She thought about it for a while, and described the two situations in her mind, only to feel that if it is a thank you, no matter which one is very attractive.But she still shook her head in her heart, secretly said: "It's not good."

If you thank the Prime Minister, even if there is a day, you will definitely not scold or accept your fate as the Queen Mother said.She thought and couldn't help laughing.

The maid had gone away holding her little urn, there was no one around, and nothing she said would be heard.

The queen mother had finished speaking, and finally saw the little emperor showing a trace of sincerity.She turned her head, looked at her and said: "If what happened last night is heard by Prime Minister Xie..."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty." She was not as good as Xie Xiang in the court, but in the palace, Xie Xiang was not as good as her.

Since she sent Gong'e to visit, she was naturally prepared.

Hearing this, Liu Zao finally breathed a sigh of relief.She couldn't help herself last night, and she acted frivolously.When I came back to my senses, it was too late to remedy.Thinking that Xie Xiangruo knew that she made Gong'e imitate her charm, he must be embarrassed, and maybe he would ignore her in the future.

As soon as she thought about it, she became worried.After waking up in the morning, I have been dealing with the queen mother for a long time, just for this sentence.

Once the worry was resolved, Liu Zao immediately calmed down, and he held his temper again, and said a few words to the Queen Mother before taking his leave and leaving.

When she entered the palace last year, she saw Xie Yi, although she was a little afraid of her, she still had a lot of curiosity about her, wondering how this person could occupy the position of prime minister as a woman.

When she ascended the throne, she was restrained by Xie Yi. Firstly, she could not issue edicts, and secondly, she could not see the courtiers. Even the Jade Seal of Chuanguo was only seen once on the day of her ascension to the throne, but she still believed in her.

Until later, she first sent an old Confucian as the emperor's teacher to consolidate her power, and then her grandmother was used as a hostage to coerce her to be obedient, and then teased her with the word "Mengmeng". , not long after, she can always calm down again, see you next time, I still don't think she is too annoying, and I still think of her first when things happen.

All kinds of abnormal things piled up, but Liu Zao never thought about why.

Until she met the maid.That Gong'e and Xie Xiangsheng are quite similar, yet completely different.
