Narcissus Self-Saving System

Five days later.The imperial capital, Lanque City.

Inside the imperial palace, the imperial court, Anren Palace.

This is the residence of the Empress Dowager Chaode.

At the moment, the queen mother took the plum blossoms newly picked by the mother and was slowly inserting them into the celadon vase.

The old mother in charge stepped forward, nodded and said: "Queen Dowager, Your Majesty will soon be in the palace after returning from Fengshan. He said earlier that he would marry a 'male concubine', but the uncle of the country agreed. In your opinion, There are many palaces here, which one should be given to General Xue to live in?"

The queen mother raised her eyes and glanced at the old mother, and said mockingly: "You still call him a general?"

The old mammy bowed quickly: "I know I was wrong."

The queen mother said: "How much blood and sweat have been shed by generations of generals in my Wang family? When the Wang family helped Xia Guo fight the country, the Xue family didn't know where it was. It happened that he, Xue Wu, wanted to fight with our Wang family. I don't know what to do. You Look, the heavens are helping the Wang family. Xue Wu knelt in front of the Zhenglong Hall and was crushed to death by a stone falling from the sky. This is God's will. The heavens will destroy his Xue family."

The old mother didn't dare to answer, she listened quietly, and the queen mother said: "Xue Wu is dead. His son can no longer be a general. To survive, he is willing to be the emperor's confinement. It is extremely ridiculous. You also remember , he is just a plaything, how can he be worthy of the position of 'concubine'?"

The old mother replied: "Although that is the case, it is not good to give him the palace that is too partial. You must be closer to the queen mother, so that you can look good under your nose."

The queen mother thought for a while, and said: "Just tell the emperor that Xue Zhuang disobeyed the emperor with his words, and even rebelled. The emperor did not punish his nine clans, which is a kindness from heaven. Since he is liked by the emperor, he also once If he has made military exploits, he will be granted the Lanya Palace. However, there is no precedent for a man to be enshrined in the harem in the past dynasties of the Xia Kingdom. In addition, he has committed disobedience, so he will not be granted a title. Salary, food and clothing, etc. According to the seventh grade, it is."

The old mammy bowed. "The Empress Dowager is Shengming. He lives in Lanya Palace, this trick is really wonderful."

The queen mother snorted coldly: "Zhu Guanyu's biological mother was just a mere little palace lady back then, and she dared to seduce the emperor by being seductive. Now, let her under the nine springs see how her son was bewitched by others. Ha, that foxy is still a man."

After a pause, the queen mother said: "Speaking of which... Xue Zhuang's appearance is really extraordinary, and his eyebrows and eyes are really good-looking. I even thought about recruiting him as a son-in-law and betrotting my daughter to him. It's a pity."

The old mother frowned, and reminded again: "Queen Mother, Xue Zhuang is arrogant, and now he is making compromises. I'm afraid it's not willing, and I'm afraid that he will take the opportunity to cause trouble."

The queen mother laughed mockingly: "Anyway, Xue Zhuang has lost both martial arts and military power. He has many benefits by staying in the palace. First, we can better monitor him and ensure that he will not take the opportunity to cause trouble. "

"Secondly, Xue Wu was stoned to death by a natural stone. After all, this matter is too absurd to convince the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Many people think there is something strange about it. After all, the Xue family has made great military achievements. It is quite critical of His Majesty. If Zhu Guanyu really killed Xue Zhuang in Fengshan, even though our Wang family has no worries about the future, it will inevitably cause criticism."

"Originally, I was still having a headache. If Xue Zhuang really died, how should the emperor explain to the world. Now... Xue Zhuang is a good general. No one forced him to serve others voluntarily. Mouth. Remember, and spread the word.”

The old mammy nodded. "Yes. The servant girl understands. Xue Zhuang is a good general and is willing to serve the emperor with masculinity. In the past few days, the servant girl will let this word spread throughout the imperial capital. Since he voluntarily stayed with the emperor, he was not forced to come. There is no hatred against the emperor for killing his father. Everyone's doubts about the emperor will be eliminated."

The Empress Dowager nodded, put the last plum blossom in her hand into the vase, and smiled softly: "Yes. Even if they still have doubts, they will think that Xue Zhuang has fallen for himself. He doesn't mind his father's death, What are other people worrying about? In this way, the position of the emperor is firmly secured, and the Wang family who holds him firmly in their hands can rest easy."

at dusk.Xi Nan arrived at the imperial palace and was led into Lanya Palace by the palace servants.

Zhu Guanyu went to pay his respects to the Queen Mother.Xi Nan was thinking whether he should go or not, but the old lady who came to greet Zhu Guanyu directly said that this is not the time to pay her respects, but the queen mother is still willing to see the emperor because she is grateful for the emperor's filial piety.As for this "Xue Zhuang", as a man, he entered the palace without a name, and now he has become a joke of civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty, and the queen mother disappeared.

There is no need to see the queen mother, this is exactly what Xi Nan wants.

The old lady sent two maids to serve in Lanya Palace, and asked them to put good wine and food on the table.

Xi Nan asked them to back down, saying that they didn't need to serve, and then asked Xue Zhuang to come and sit down, and the two of them ate wine and food together.

Xue Zhuang glanced at the maid guarding the gate of the palace, but rejected Xi Nan.

Xi Nan knew that these maids were sent by the Queen Mother, and Xue Zhuang was so cautious because he was afraid that they would see the clues.

At that moment, Xi Nanduo glanced at Xue Zhuang.

At this moment, Xue Zhuang is wearing a human skin mask. This face is quite handsome, but there is a rather terrifying scar on the left side of his cheek.

Xue Zhuang wears this mask and uses the pseudonym He Ze as his former confidant.

Xi Nan pretended to be Xue Zhuang that day, and explained to Zhu Guanyu that He Ze was his confidant, and the two of them would always need an errand runner when planning things in the future, so he had to bring a trustworthy person by his side.

But He Ze is a man after all, so it is inconvenient for him to go to the imperial court.But he can pretend to be a father-in-law.

Zhu Guanyu said to Xi Nan at the time: "This is easy. Let him really become a father-in-law, wouldn't it be enough?"

"No." Xi Nan hurriedly dissuaded, "On the battlefield, I escaped countless times from death, and I relied on him to save me. He has followed me for many years and suffered countless hardships. Now it is because of me that I have ruined my past. And when it’s over, I’m really sorry.”

Zhu Guanyu looked at Xi Nan thoughtfully, and finally said: "Forget it. Then let him pretend. I still have this method."

At this moment, thinking about this, staring at Xue Zhuang in front of him, Xi Nan also sighed.

——I pretended to be him, but he changed his face. Not only did he pretend to be someone else, but he also had to pretend to be an eunuch.

Excuse me, Xi Nan felt that there was no way for the two of them to pretend like this all the time. If they didn't pay attention one day, they would be discovered by the two maids. It's better not to shy away from it, and think of a reason for the two to get close and talk.

Xi Nan had a thought, thought of something, immediately stepped forward, took Xue Zhuang's shoulder quite affectionately, then took his hand and sat down.

Xue Zhuang asked him in a low voice: "What are you doing?"

Xi Nan glanced out of the window, and the two maids poked their heads, with mocking smiles on their faces, clearly seeing this scene.

Xi Nan smiled and leaned into Xue Zhuang's ear, seeming to be intimate with him, but actually whispered to him: "It's just a show. From now on, we two will always stay together to discuss things. Under the noses of those two maids, only This kind of acting is the only way to deceive the world."

Xue Zhuang: "..."

Xi Nan: "Let them tell the queen mother that Xue Zhuang is promiscuous and promiscuous, not only messing around with the emperor, but also messing with the father-in-law. Let the queen mother think that Xue Zhuang is completely addicted to male sex and will not conspire with the emperor. "

After Xi Nan said this, it was obvious that Xue Zhuang's expression was not very good.

Xi Nan smiled awkwardly and asked, "Do you think... your reputation has ruined me?"

Xue Zhuang raised his eyebrows. "So you still know?"

Xi Nan sighed. "It's for you too."

Xue Zhuang shook his head, raised his head and took a sip of the mulled wine. "That's all. Others say that I am willing to degenerate, or that my personal morals are corrupt. At least the name Xue Zhuang can still exist. I really... have to thank you."

"No thanks, no thanks. You can think about it. Xue Zhuang is still there, and you are still alive. These stigmas will always be washed away one day. People who live have hope."

Xi Nan glanced at the rather magnificently furnished palace, and said, "Unexpectedly, the queen mother really gave me a nice palace."

Xue Zhuang glanced at him, and suddenly asked: "Do you know why she put us in Lanya Palace?"
