[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 14 Return 7

While Mrs. Chu was wondering, Queen Wang suddenly pulled her sleeves and made a concealed gesture.

Then, Empress Wang turned around and said to the others: "Ladies, sit down for a while, I'll go take off my clothes..."

Everyone hurriedly got up to send them off.

Mrs. Chu saw the queen leaving for about a stick of incense, and she saw Yang Shangyi winking at her beside the queen.

Mrs. Chu hurriedly complained to the wives who were chatting with each other, saying that she was undressing, and followed Yang Shangyi to leave Mei Lin.

Concubine Xiao Shu asked Zi Shao to watch Queen Wang and Mrs. Chu for a long time. Hearing that the two had left one after another, she also found an excuse to go back to Yanjia Palace, and then changed into a humble palace dress. Rushed to the place where Queen Wang and Mrs. Chu had a secret meeting.

Queen Wang didn't invite Mrs. Chu back to her palace to talk, but just asked someone to clean up a pavilion in the imperial garden, and when Mrs. Chu came, she pretended to be a chance encounter...

The pavilion is transparent on all sides, there are no flowers or trees to block it, and there are only two paths in the east and west, so it is easy to see if anyone is coming this way.

Queen Wang asked the palace servants to guard the four sides of the pavilion, so that even if she said something confidential, she would not be afraid of being overheard...

Mrs. Chu saw that Queen Wang was so solemn, so she knew that she was going to speak something special today, and she couldn't be spread indiscriminately...

"Ma'am, today's flowering party in the palace is just to invite you into the palace to cover people's eyes..." After the queen ordered the palace people to serve tea, they all retreated.

When Mrs. Chu heard this, she felt that today's events were extraordinary, she hurriedly stood up and replied respectfully: "Is there anything you can tell me, I will definitely not refuse..."

In the past, when the Queen sent her into the palace, she was just saying some commonplace things, and there was no need to deceive others. Today, she actually called more than a dozen wives into the palace at once, just to see her...

Mrs. Chu also murmured to herself, could it be that the establishment of the reserve has come to fruition?

Recently, her family's husband-in-law has been worrying about this matter. I think the queen has some news!

"Ma'am, please sit down and talk..." Queen Wang asked Mrs. Chu to sit down and offered a refreshment before she spoke.

"Madam should have guessed it too. In fact, my palace invites you here today because I have something important to tell Mr. Chu..." The queen didn't say anything formal, and said straight to the point: "A few days ago, Mr. Chu wrote a letter asking the sage to establish a prince early. Now the sage has made a decision..."

Mrs. Chu was not moved when she heard the words, and wanted to ask the saint which prince he preferred, but due to etiquette, she would not interrupt when the queen was speaking, and she couldn't help showing anxiety on her face.

Queen Wang looked at Mrs. Chu's expression and knew that she was worried that the sage would make Silang the crown prince, so she comforted her and said, "Madam, don't worry, the sage has already stated that he wants to make Dalang, those random rumors that the sage wants to make Silang the prince, the sage has already done that." Deal with it!"

When Mrs. Chu heard this, a big stone fell from her heart, and she said with a smile: "So, I'm going to congratulate my wife~~~~"

Unexpectedly, Empress Wang sighed, frowned slightly and said, "I don't have anything to celebrate..."

Mrs. Chu only said that Queen Wang felt that Da Lang was not her own child, so she hurriedly persuaded him: "Da Lang is an honest boy, and he has always raised his wife under your knees. Are you afraid that he will not be filial to you in the future?"

"Besides, Liu Jieyu is not too good at making trouble, for the sake of Da Lang, she will only persuade Da Lang to get close to you!"

When Queen Wang heard the words, she smiled faintly, "This palace is not for this trouble..."

"What is the lady worried about?" Mrs. Chu was puzzled.

As long as the position of the prince is certain, the position in the queen's palace will be as stable as Mount Tai~~

Concubine Xiao Shu and her like, even if they had a prince by their side, it would be in vain.

"My lady doesn't know something. The reason why the sage agrees to make Dalang the crown prince is conditional..." Queen Wang then told Mrs. Chu exactly what Li Zhi said to her that day.

After hearing this, Mrs. Chu was stunned and said, "There is such a thing?! How could a saint do such a thing..."

"I can't do anything about it..." Queen Wang couldn't help sighing, and said: "Now that palace lady is pregnant, the saint said that he will not formally leave until I fulfill my promise to take back that palace lady. The imperial edict confers on Dalang..."

"How can a saint be so ridiculous?" Mrs. Chu couldn't help but angrily said.

After saying this, she also felt that something was inappropriate, after all, ministers don't criticize the king, but it is no longer a gentleman's work for a saint to take his father's concubine privately, and he used this to blackmail the queen, and it is true It's ridiculous!

"Mistress, don't worry, I will definitely tell my husband about my difficulties when I go back."

Queen Wang and the others heard Mrs. Chu's words, immediately smiled all over their faces, and took Mrs. Chu's hand and said, "This palace is isolated and helpless. Thanks to my wife's help, if someone else succeeds, he will definitely live up to Mrs. Chu!"

Mrs. Chu hastily said she did not dare.

"I can't leave the flower fair for a long time, Madam, please sit down for a while, I will go and have a look first..."

After speaking, Queen Wang got up and walked forward.

Mrs. Chu stayed in the pavilion as ordered, and bowed to see the queen to leave first.

As soon as Queen Wang left, Mrs. Chu couldn't sit still any longer. She drank a couple of sips of tea casually, gave instructions to the palace servants who followed her, and left in a hurry.

After all the people in the pavilion had left, two palace-looking women came out from a remote corner on the west side of the pavilion. They were the ones who had disguised Concubine Xiao Shu and her personal maid, Zi Shao.

The two of them were a little far away from the pavilion where Queen Wang and Mrs. Chu had a secret conversation, and they couldn't hear anything at all just now.

However, Concubine Xiao Shu could probably guess that the two of them must be talking about establishing a relationship.

"Young lady, don't worry. The servant took a sneak peek just now. Among the palace guards guarding the pavilion, there happened to be a servant who could talk..." Seeing Concubine Xiao Shu's gritted teeth secretly, Zi Shao knew that she was extremely dissatisfied. Yue Yue quickly changed the subject and said, "Young lady, you can rest assured and leave it to the servant girl. You should hurry back to the palace to change your clothes, my lady. The queen has already returned to the front. It will be another storm when I don't see you... "

"I'm still afraid that she won't succeed!" Concubine Xiao Shu snorted when she heard the words, but her attention was really diverted. "You ask Alu to tell the queen that I'm not feeling well, so it's just over there..." After finishing speaking, Concubine Xiao Shu turned around and walked towards the Yanjia Palace, Zi Shao hurriedly followed.

That night, Zi Shao got some important words out of her acquaintance in the palace, and immediately came back to report to Concubine Xiao Shu.

Concubine Xiao Shu's face paled with anger after hearing this, and she smashed a three-colored flower vase on the case with a flick of her hand.

"What a virtuous queen! She actually resorted to such a despicable trick for the sake of establishing a crown prince!"

Concubine Xiao Shu's confidantes, such as Zishao and Hongyao, stood aside with their eyes and noses watching, not daring to breathe.

"Is the sage...confused?" Concubine Xiao Shu walked up and down on the couch angrily, not even half of her usual delicate and virtuous appearance. "The crown prince is the most important weapon of the country, how can he be child's play?"

"The sage...actually abandoned Shiro and chose the dull Dalang for the sake of a mere palace official. He is so stupid!"

Zi Shao, Hong Yao and the others turned pale with fright when they heard Xiao Shufei's resentful words.

"Lady, be careful..." Yang Shanggong, who is older, hurriedly tried to persuade him: "The sage will establish Dalang, but it is because of righteousness and fame. The lady must not compete with the sage, just continue to educate Shiro well." It's serious..."

"In the past, Shang Gong always advised me to raise Shiro well, so that I could win the favor of the saint..." Concubine Xiao Shu was not willing to listen, and complained to Yang Shanggong: "I have worked so hard to raise Shiro, and finally let him win the favor of the saint, but in the end How? The crown prince has been taken away by Da Lang!"

"He was originally the eldest son, and now he is going to become the crown prince... Is it possible that I, Shiro, can only be suppressed by him forever?" When Concubine Xiao Shu thought that her clever and lovely son would spend his whole life with a mediocre elder brother cautiously seeking life, her heart ached uncontrollably .

Unexpectedly, Yang Shanggong shook his head with a smile, and said, "Why does my lady lose her fighting spirit now?"

"Otherwise, what can I do? Didn't you stop me from arguing with the saint?" Concubine Xiao Shu looked at Yang Shanggong suspiciously.

"Have you forgotten, my lady, that the sage established Dalang only for righteousness, after all, the head of Dalang..." Yang Shanggong just whispered a word, and Concubine Xiao Shu came back to her senses like enlightenment.

"You mean... the sage is actually not happy to establish Dalang?"

"That's right, if the sage wanted to establish Dalang, he would have established it a long time ago... But, why did he have to establish it now? Could it be because of that palace man?"

"My lady, what are you talking about? The sage is so wise, how could he shake the country at will for a little girl!" Yang Shanggong lowered his voice, and said mysteriously to Concubine Xiao Shu: "From the maidservant's humble opinion, the sage did this for Shiro... "

"What do you mean by that?" Concubine Xiao Shu was taken aback when she heard the words, a little confused about Yang Shanggong's logic.

"Miss, think about it, besides Dalang, which prince in the palace has the strength to win the East Palace?" Yang Shanggong counted Erlang and Sanlang's advantages and disadvantages with his fingers, and Concubine Xiao Shu found that her family's Shiro was indeed unbeatable. its right!

"Secondly, if the sage insists on setting up Shiro, how easy is it to do?" Yang Shanggong asked again.

After hearing this, Concubine Xiao Shu still shook her head.

Although she wholeheartedly hoped that Shiro would enter the East Palace, those pedantic courtiers would never agree, and the saint would not ignore the courtiers' opinions for Shiro's sake!

"Thirdly, if Da Lang is the prince, does the lady think that the queen can really sit back and relax?"

Concubine Xiao Shu thought about this question for a while, but she still shook her head.

Don't say that Da Lang is only the queen's adopted son, even if he is his own son, it doesn't mean that everything will be fine if he becomes the prince.Not to mention, let's say that Prince Chengqian was a lesson learned from the past!

Yang Shanggong saw that Concubine Xiao Shu had already had an epiphany, and then only added one sentence: "My lady should remember how today's saints are in power..." This sentence contains a lot of content, and Concubine Xiao Shu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

After much deliberation, Concubine Xiao Shu found that Yang Shanggong's words were not wrong at all!

The sage should be Yi Shiro. The reason why he doesn’t force Li Shiro now is to prevent the courtiers from leaving a bad image of Shiro, and the second is to relax the vigilance of the king, queen and Dalang...

As long as Shiro is older and makes some achievements in the court, wouldn't the sage justifiably replace the mediocre and incompetent Dalang and push Shiro up?

The saint is really well-intentioned!

Concubine Xiao Shu felt very ashamed that she failed to understand the deep meaning of the saint...

I have to say that some people's brain power is very powerful!

The author has something to say: Concubine Shu is also satisfied now~
