[Ying Zheng + Dahan Emperor] Golden House

The next day Chu Fu changed clothes for Ying Zheng, and the court ladies surrounded Ying Zheng and went to the Queen Mother.

When Ying Zheng arrived, the Queen Mother was already there, but Liu Che was not there.

Seeing Yingzheng, the Queen Mother told him not to salute, she went up to hold his hand, led him to sit down at the table, and said with a smile: "Although Gillian comes to greet me every five days, I always feel weird. Yours, you have to come to my place often in the future. Look, how deserted I am without you."

Ying Zheng watched her speak without smiling, pretending to be gentle and loving, and couldn't help but think about what she would look like if the Empress Dowager Dou passed away in the future. Which woman would not want to be the Empress Dowager? Such a woman, the country is so big, as long as she coughs, even the emperor will have nothing to do.

The Queen Mother is under the eaves now, so she can only act as a good daughter-in-law in front of the Empress Dowager, and dare not do anything too big, for fear that the old lady will be unhappy.

Ying Zheng smiled and prevaricated: "Isn't it because I'm afraid that if I come, the queen mother will make trouble here and make the queen mother unhappy?"

The Queen Mother said: "Ah Jiao, don't meet outsiders. Your mother and I are closer than sisters. To put it bluntly, without your mother, my mother and I would not have the current status. So, don't see me outside."

Listening to her words, Ying Zheng knew that the Queen Mother was "showing her loyalty", but was she really showing her loyalty with Mrs. Dou?Of course not, he was showing his loyalty to the Empress Dowager who was also from the Dou family.

Who doesn't know that the Empress Dowager loves Taizhu Dou the most, and she also likes Chen Ajiao, and Taizhu Dou will respond to every request when speaking in front of the Empress Dowager.

The two chatted for a while, but Liu Che didn't come over. The people from Yuefu were already ready. A young eunuch came up with small steps, knelt down and said, "Li Yannian from Yuefu, please welcome the Empress Dowager Shengan, please empress Shengan."

The Queen Mother said: "You are Li Yannian? I often hear people say that you are good at temperament. Is there a piece of music that you personally played today?"

Li Yannian raised his head, smiled flatteringly, and said: "Back to the Empress Dowager, today is the song arranged by Yannian, and I didn't prepare to play it in advance, but if the Empress Dowager and the Queen don't smile, Yannian can play any piece."

The queen mother smiled and said, "Oh? So powerful? When the emperor comes, ask him what he likes to hear."

Li Yannian said: "No."

The queen mother asked him to get up, and Li Yannian stood aside. The queen mother looked at the other party carefully, and saw that the other party was indeed the same as Princess Yang Xinchang said, with fair skin and beautiful appearance, like a beautiful woman. nod.

Ying Zheng also glanced at Li Yannian, no wonder the Queen Mother wanted Li Yannian to present a song. According to Ying Zheng's current understanding of Liu Che, he really seemed to suit Liu Che's taste. Maybe the emperor would face people again when he came in. His eyes stared straight.

Liu Che arrived late, and the dishes and delicacies were all ready. Although it was a family banquet, it was arranged in a very elegant and grand manner.

The queen mother said to the maid: "Go and invite the emperor to come here."

The maid responded and quickly walked out in small steps.

The Queen Mother turned her head and smiled at Ying Zheng: "Is Gillian's body okay? After sitting for so long, why don't I ask someone to help you to rest inside first?"

Ying Zheng felt unhappy when he heard others mention that he was pregnant, but he couldn't show it. He just smiled and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern. It doesn't matter if you sit down."

The Queen Mother said: "That's good, that's good, don't be brave, your majesty, run to me every day, and talk to me about your affairs every day, this is called a serious consideration, it shows that the emperor loves you. Don't let Sister Guantao and I bother you in vain, Gillian, you can work harder and keep a close eye on the pig!"

Ying Zheng smiled, not bothering to deal with the Queen Mother's inappropriate lies.

Soon the maid came back, knelt down and said: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, Your Majesty is discussing matters with ministers in the announcement room."

"Discussion?"

The queen mother was a little unhappy, and said: "Did you go to tell the emperor yesterday that I have a family banquet today, and he is still discussing things?"

The maid said: "This servant did indeed say so."

The Queen Mother said: "What kind of people are there in the Xuan room?"

The maid said: "I didn't go in, I just heard that there are important ministers like Wang Zang and Zhao Wan."

The queen mother sneered when she heard it, waved her sleeves to let the maid back down, pointed at the table and said to Ying Zheng: "Tell me, what can I do, I call these Confucian scholars to the Xuan room every day to discuss matters. Isn't it against his grandma? Gillian, you need to talk to the old lady more. Although the pig is a bit stubborn, he is still quite filial to his grandma. Isn't that right? Just give Wei Wan the official position, that's great .”

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about it, the Queen Mother. Which emperor is not born out of experience. Although the emperor is young, he has great ambitions. This is also a good thing."

Although Ying Zheng said that, he didn't think of Liu Che that way in his heart. Although Liu Che was still young, it couldn't be used as an excuse.Liu Che's whole life was paved by his mother and Princess Guantao. Even before the death of Emperor Jing, he paved the way for Liu Che and crowned him with a serious illness. In comparison, Liu Che can be regarded as the throne bubbled out of a honeypot .

All these factors contributed to Liu Che's never falling into a big somersault. He had great ambitions, but he didn't know what "quick success and instant benefit" was.

After all, Liu Che wanted to do something, but he was rash and reckless, and he didn't listen to other people's advice.Just from his stubborn appointment of Wang Zang and Zhao Wan, he knew that sooner or later he would offend the Empress Dowager who practiced Huang-Laoism. If he didn't give the Empress Dowager face, how could the Empress Dowager give him face.

In fact, Ying Zheng can persuade Liu Che to save the lives of Wang Zang and Zhao Wan, but these two are not like Wei Wan. Wei Wan is a great weapon of the country and a talent. Ying Zheng can suddenly realize it with just a few words , why the Qin family can win the world, but not long-term stability, why Liu Che believes in Confucianism, but can't check and balance the cabinet, all these problems are in three sentences -

"Hegemony wins the world, Confucianism governs the world, Huang Lao must have the art of strange soldiers."

Wang Zang and Zhao Wan are not Wei Wan. These two people are almost crazy for Confucianism. They are no longer purely for the sake of the country. They have deviated from the emperor's thinking, but Liu Che hasn't noticed it yet.In Ying Zheng's view, what's the use of keeping such a person.

The Queen Mother said: "Yes, it's a good thing that you have great ambitions, but you can't offend the old lady, this child, you still think that others are harming him, and let these Confucian children make a mess inside and outside the court." of."

When the Queen Mother said "the smoky atmosphere", Liu Che just stepped into the door and heard the words in his ears. He was a little unhappy at the moment, and his face sank.

Ying Zheng saw him and got up to greet him. Liu Che hurried over to support Ying Zheng. Seeing him, his complexion improved a lot, and he said, "Sister Gillian just sit down."

When the Queen Mother saw Liu Che coming, she didn't pay attention to his expression, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is here, hurry up and take a seat. Today I specially called Li Yannian from the Yuefu. Is there any piece of music that the emperor wants to hear, I may ask Li Yannian to play it."

Liu Che was not in the mood for the few words the Queen Mother said just now, but glanced at Li Yannian impatiently, this glance suddenly felt bad, it turned out that there was someone in the palace who was more beautiful than Dong Yansheng, and he was an eunuch.

Li Yannian noticed that Liu Che's gaze was on him, so he hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty pays my respects."

Liu Che nodded and said, "Isn't it Li Yannian? I haven't seen you before. Let me know you by raising your head."

Li Yannian said: "I'm a lowly slave, I'm afraid it will spoil His Majesty's eyes."

Although he said so in his mouth, he raised his head, his eyes collided with Liu Che, and then looked away pretending to be panicked, and lowered his head respectfully.

Although it was just a glance, Liu Che could still see clearly that this Li Yannian was really good-looking, and that panicked gaze was very suitable for Liu Che.

Liu Che's mood suddenly improved, and he smiled and said, "Then you can play whatever you want, I can't think of anything for a while."

Li Yannian responded, stood up, asked someone to lift up the zither and put it in the middle, knelt on the mat, and just touched the zither strings with his fingers, the strings sounded like a thunderbolt, which scared the Queen Mother and Liu Che.

Then a group of dancing girls filed in and began to dance to the strings.

Seeing that Liu Che's eyes had been fixed on Li Yannian, Ying Zheng was actually a person who could read other people's minds. Every time he met Liu Che's gaze, he would move away in panic, pretending to be his duty, but in fact he was arousing Liu Che's appetite.

And the tune he chose happened to be in line with Liu Che's thoughts, it was not a tactful tune, sometimes like thunder, sometimes like a torrential rain, which aroused Liu Che's ambitions.

After finishing the song, Li Yannian stepped forward in small steps, knelt down and waited for the words of Queen Mother Liu Che and Ying Zheng.

The Queen Mother just nodded and said with a smile: "Your Majesty thinks that Li Yannian can play well?"

Liu Che said with a smile: "There are only zither strings, but you can hear the clang sound. It's a good piece, and Yannian's performance is also good."

Li Yannian bowed his head and said: "Yannian thank you Your Majesty, and thank you Queen Mother for your kindness."

Liu Che turned to Ying Zheng and said, "Sister Gillian, do you like it? If you like it, why don't you let Yannian play another song?"

Ying Zheng listened to him calling him affectionate, although Ying Zheng wanted to let Liu Che hang around other people, and don't let him come to Jiaofang Palace every day, but Ying Zheng could easily see that this was the Queen Mother's plan, and it was aimed at the Empress Dowager and myself.

The Queen Mother even instigated an eunuch to bully her under her nose. Wouldn't Ying Zheng be too cowardly if she didn't show something?

Ying Zheng naturally pretended to be better than Li Yannian. He patted his chest and said with a forced smile: "It sounds really good, but I don't seem to be able to hear such a sonorous string, and now I feel panicked."

When Liu Che heard it, he immediately became nervous. After all, sister Gillian was pregnant, and he forgot for a moment. Wouldn't the sound of thunder and rain be like shaking his queen to death?

Liu Che hurriedly turned to his side, put his hand on Ying Zheng's chest, rubbed it for him, and said, "Sister Gillian, if you are not feeling well, can I help you to lie down?"

Liu Che rubbed his hands as soon as they came up, and Ying Zheng's body froze immediately, his face turned green and pale. Although he never regarded himself as a woman, after all, this is a woman's body, even if he is a man, he can't rub it just by rubbing it.

Ying Zheng's face changed color, Liu Che thought he was really uncomfortable, and was terribly worried.
