Tyrant [Rebirth]

The Ci'an Palace was as quiet and peaceful as ever, and Grandma Sun who was beside the Empress Dowager came out early to greet Chu Shaoling when she heard that Chu Shaoling was coming. She helped Chu Shaoling get off the sedan chair and said with a smile: "It's so cold, the eldest prince is still here. morning……"

It seems that I come here often on weekdays, Chu Shaoling calmed down a little, and Sun Nanny said in a low voice: "The queen mother didn't sleep well last night, she must be thinking about the queen again... The eldest prince will have to persuade the queen mother later. It's not good in the first place, and if this is the case..."

Chu Shaoling nodded: "Nurse, don't worry."

Nanny Sun directly welcomed Chu Shaoling into the inner hall. Inside, the queen mother was lying on the imperial concubine's couch in homely clothes. Seeing Chu Shaoling coming, she quickly stretched out her hand to let someone pass by. Come and sit next to Ai's house."

The queen mother sat up, let Chu Shaoling sit next to her, looked at Chu Shaoling's expression carefully, and nodded: "Fortunately, it's getting colder these days, is it still warm in Bitao Garden? No earth dragon is colder, why not?" ...You and Yang'er move to Ai's house together, and move back after Sanjiu..."

Chu Shaoling quickly nodded and declined: "Don't dare to disturb the purity of the imperial grandmother. Although the Bitao Garden is not as warm as the Ci'an Hall, it is not cold, and there is still plenty of charcoal fire."

Naturally, the Queen Mother would not bring her to Ci'an Hall because she was afraid that her grandson would be cold. Although there is no earth dragon in the prince's bedroom, the smoke cage is burning and the charcoal basin is roasting, which can be regarded as warm as spring. People in the palace didn't respect the two sons left behind by Queen Ling less and less, and they were rushing to celebrate Queen Ling's memorial day. The Queen Mother wanted to give him a prestige in the palace, and Chu Shaoling naturally understood this.

Seeing the empress dowager's benevolent features, Chu Shaoling's heart warmed. The empress dowager loved him very much in the previous life, but it was a pity that the queen mother left early. Now that everything has turned around again, the empress dowager's love will undoubtedly become a great help for him.

Grandfather and grandson were talking while Nanny Sun came in to pass the message: "The Empress Dowager, Concubine Li, Concubine Shu and all the empresses of the palaces are here to pay their respects."

Chu Shaoling got up when he heard the words, before he had time to kneel down to the Empress Dowager An, he said: "Ling'er, you don't have to go, they are just talking a few words, there is your favorite Bazhen duck for lunch, you are here today to accompany Ai's family. "

Chu Shaoling nodded, wondering in his heart, when did Concubine Li become a noble concubine?In the last life, she was suppressed by herself all the time, and in the end she had to help Concubine Li ascend the post in order to save Chu Shaoyang's life. Hasn't Concubine Li ever been a noble concubine? !

The Empress Dowager looked at Nanny Sun, Nanny Sun understood, and turned to welcome the concubines in. Everyone didn't know that Chu Shaoling was also inside, they sat down after greeting each other, and Chu Shaoling was still sitting beside the Empress Dowager.

"The empress dowager's palace is warm, and the narcissus blooms better than those in the concubine's palace." Li Guifei sat at the first place on the left side of the empress dowager's lower head, stroking the coral flowers on her temples, and said with a smile, " In the end, Fengshui in Ci'an Temple is the best."

The queen mother laughed lightly when she heard the words: "Ai's house is warmer here. I just told Ling'er to let him move in to live with Ai's house. It's cold in the twelfth lunar month. This child has been precious since he was a child, and he has been suffering from minor disasters and pains. After all, he must be in mourning." You can rest assured that you are under your own nose."

All the concubines below were taken aback when they heard the words, what does the Empress Dowager mean by this?

Chu Shaoling and the Empress Dowager looked at the expressions of the crowd together. Concubine Li's complexion turned pale, and Chu Shaoling sneered in his heart. Concubine Li was the most favored concubine when Empress Ling was around. Overwhelming the queen, if the queen was not dignified and prudent, I would have made a lot of jokes. The queen mother is the aunt of the queen, so naturally she has hated her long ago, but seeing that Concubine Li gave birth to the second prince, Chu Shaoruan, and the emperor likes it very much She was only tolerated for the sake of it, but now that Empress Ling has passed away for a year, these concubines are becoming more and more restless.

At this time, Concubine Li's foundation was not stable, and she had the support of the Empress Dowager, this time she must never let this woman take the queen's seat again, Chu Shaoling sneered in his heart, his mother's seat, Concubine Li was never worthy of sitting.

Now the high-ranking concubines include Concubine Li and Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu has both children. The eldest princess got married the year before last, and the fifth prince was only seven years old. However, Chu Shaoling didn't care much about her.

Looking back, Ning Gui, who was seated at the bottom, raised his eyebrows and nodded secretly to Chu Shaoling. Ning Gui was just a sweeping maid in Chengqian Palace. She was once lucky to be named noble, but soon the emperor lost her Interest, without the support of a strong mother's family, it is difficult for a little nobleman who has lost favor to survive in the palace. He even added a princess to the emperor, and only then did he gain a foothold in the palace.

Ning Guiren has always been grateful for Queen Ling's kindness, and served the queen very wholeheartedly. After Queen Ling left, she still respected Chu Shaoling and Chu Shaoyang, and Chu Shaoling was still very relieved of her.

Chu Shaoling's mind was full of thoughts, the queen mother glanced over to see everyone's expressions, and then said slowly: "It's just that this child is the most polite, and I don't want to come if I'm afraid of disturbing..." The queen mother stroked Chu Shaoling's back lightly, Ai Lian said: "After all, he is the queen's son, who knows how to measure."

Concubine Shu has served in the palace for many years, so she naturally understood what the Empress Dowager wanted to say, and said with a smile: "Yes, I didn't say it to my face. I often tell Sui Er that we should use your elder brother as a model on weekdays, so that we can learn more and make a difference."

Chu Shaosui is the fifth prince born of Concubine Shu, a child who is usually liked by the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother smiled: "Sui'er is still young, how can he know this?"

Concubine Li was a little uncomfortable, pinching the pearl-colored Kodan with her fingertips into the handkerchief. Her second prince, Chu Shaoruan, lost in the word "dichang", but her mother's family, the Zhen family, also slowly grew up after the emperor ascended the throne. After the death of Empress Ling, she was promoted to the imperial concubine in charge of Fengyin, and she was the only one in the harem.

Concubine Li had a faint sneer in her heart, as long as she ascended to the throne, her Chu Shaoruan would also be the son of the eldest son. Even though the son of the empress of the Yuan Dynasty was not as noble, she was more confident of becoming the prince than Chu Shaoling who had no biological mother .

Concubine Li Gui smiled lightly: "Speaking of this concubine, I remembered something. Yesterday, people from the House of Internal Affairs asked the concubine how to distribute the Chen Shuixiang that they paid tribute this year."

"Because the Empress Dowager doesn't like incense, this incense was only sent to the Fenghua Palace of the Queen Mother in the past, but now, alas..." Concubine Li bowed her head, her eyes were red, and she shook her head, "Last year, Chen Shuixiang from the House of Internal Affairs I didn’t dare to assign it. This year, the concubines are in charge of these things, and they dare not move without authorization. I came here to ask the Queen Mother what you think, should I keep it in the House of Internal Affairs for future empress use, or... first assign it to someone else?”

Concubine Shu closed the teacup and smiled lightly: "Sister, what do you mean by this? Distribute it to others? Chen Shuixiang has always been used only in the middle palace, who can it be distributed to? Sister herself?"

"My sister was joking, my younger sister only listens to what the Queen Mother wants." Concubine Li Gui didn't get angry when Concubine Shu said what was on her mind. She now has countless privileges in the palace, only missing one position, so what if she used aloes in advance? up?She just wanted to let the whole palace know who is in charge of the Phoenix Seal now.Concubine Li chuckled, "Sister just thinks that there is no one in the palace now, so it is a sin to let go of the precious spices that have been brought in every year."

The Empress Dowager watched Concubine Li and Concubine Shu go back and forth with cold eyes, and slowly said: "Chen Shuixiang not only has a solemn and elegant smell, it is also a very rare medicinal material, which is very good for the body..."

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then turned her head and smiled at Chu Shaoling, "You smoked this spice on your body today, where did you get it?"

Chu Shaoling bowed his head: "Where can I get my grandson? This is what my mother left me before. There is not much left. I burn some when I miss my mother. I lit some last night, and now I still have that smell on my body." .”

The Empress Dowager sighed, and said slowly: "Yesterday was your mother's memorial day, and you must be missed. You are a filial person, and this is also the kindness that your empress mother treated you with back then. If so... Concubine Li, tell the House of Internal Affairs From now on, all the agarwood tributes will be sent to Bitao Garden, one is to make him miss the empress, and the other is that burning this incense is not good for Ling'er's body, and it will be distributed to Ai's family after the emperor is established. "

Concubine Li Gui didn't expect such a result, she was stunned for a while and forced a smile: "This... This spice has always been exclusive to the Central Palace, and now it's against the rules to give it to the First Prince..."

"Didn't you say that..." The queen mother slowly fiddled with the sterling silver hand stove in her hand, "It is a sin to leave this thing for nothing, since there is no one in the middle palace, and the eldest prince is used to it, so give it to him again." What's wrong?"

Naturally, Concubine Li did not dare to argue with the Queen Mother, she quickly lowered her head and laughed, "It's so good, it's better that the Queen Mother is considerate, and the concubines will tell them when they get back."

Chu Shaoling knelt down to thank him, the Empress Dowager pulled him up with a smile, her kind face remained the same.

A moderate turmoil was easily resolved by the Empress Dowager in the Ci'an Palace. The old Empress Dowager was old, but she was still like a mirror in her heart. The emperor's favor made some people think that they shouldn't have. The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Li Gui submissively The smile sneered in his heart, wishful thinking.

With the empress dowager's overt and secret support, Chu Shaoling felt more confident. He had dinner with the empress dowager at noon, and chatted with the old man for a long time before leaving the Ci'an Hall. He told him to go back to the palace, but he still had an important person missing.

After returning to Bitao Garden, it was not too long before it was foggy and snowy. Wan Cui persuaded Chu Shaoling to take a rest. Chu Shaoling shook his head, took the umbrella and walked slowly to the main entrance of Bitaoyuan Palace, silent. He looked out of the corridor.

Chu Shaoling only said that he was enjoying the snow, and he stood there for two hours. Until Youshi, he came alone on the snow, and he still looked like he remembered, but he was much younger and his stature had not yet grown up. Delicate and pure, seeing Chu Shaoling hurriedly approached and knelt down at the main entrance, at that moment Chu Shaoling's hand holding the umbrella handle trembled, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "What's your name?"

The little guard never expected that the eldest prince would talk to him, his heart beat like a drum, he calmed down and nodded and said: "Guard halberd, guard's guard, saber's halberd."

Chu Shaoling closed his eyes: "Wei Ji, what a good name."

Little Wei Ji raised his head to look at Chu Shaoling with some doubts, Chu Shaoling had a calm face, and said slowly: "We will be promoted to be a third-class bodyguard and serve you personally."

Wei Ji never expected this to happen again. After all, he was young and simple-minded. He knelt on the ground but didn't know how to thank him. He raised his head and looked at Chu Shaoling stupidly. Chu Shaoling looked into Wei Ji's black eyes, and his restless heart instantly calmed down. down.
