Chapter 224 – Heavenly Might
Zhao Su walked out of the Qianqing Palace and headed in the direction of Ci Ning Palace. Halfway there, when she saw a place with shade, she stopped again and sat down on the steps in a smooth manner.
This time in the morning is the busy time of affairs, all parts of the harem have palace people walking around, visible palace people less, also does not affect the royal row.
Thinking back to the beginning of the first time to come here, as if the wrong scene, here a grass, a tree, a brick, a tile, and even a person and an animal, all with wariness. No matter where you go, you are walking on thin ice.
But now looking at this heavy temple, and like her such a large group of “social animals”, and as if a few more points of affinity.
The most ruthless of her pressure on the Empress Dowager Lu, has always been the most ruthless mouth, and did not substantively hurt her, even if she was locked up for a period of time, but also let her fatten up a few pounds.
These eunuchs and palace maidens in the palace, of course, there are more heart, there are a number of people will deliberately flatter her, but think about it, we are also in order to survive, if just flatter flatter her, can let them live more easily, then she does not mind.
From an ordinary staff, a leap into the upper echelons of a country, she did not imagine so quickly on the peace of mind, especially when someone asked for her help, she always felt that even if he relied on the power to help the public justice a hand, or else it will be virtue is not worthy of the position.
Of course, maybe the emperor never knew where she came from, she could still try to pretend that she was the original owner. Uncertainty about her survival has made her a little more wary. She did not know whether the emperor’s words just now out of the “emperor’s art”, in order to stabilize her heart, but on the contrary, as if she is afraid of can not change anything, her power is too small, it would be better to boredom towards the front, the first unloading of this worry, live happily again.
“…… I tell you, action again not fast, can not catch up with the delivery!”
Next to the two small eunuchs are urging each other, holding two coral, “The Empress Dowager on the Luo old master but respect very much, there is a failure we can not afford!”
Zhao Su looked at them from the eyes passed, and then called out: “What are you doing?”
The little eunuchs looked anxious, but after seeing her clearly, they still fell back: “Mr. Zhao, the Empress Dowager ordered the little ones to get a pair of coral for Elder Lady Luo’s birthday gift.”
“Elderly Mrs. Luo’s birthday?
“In a couple of days is, the empress dowager specially ordered to pick two plants of the best quality.”
Zhao Su oh a sound, see them really anxious, then waved his hand and let them go.
Mrs. Luo will be celebrating her birthday in a couple of days, but she hadn’t heard Hua Wanyong say anything about it before?
……
Zhong Lan, the royal historian, bowed deeply to the emperor: “The emperor has long been worth the age of marriage, the emperor said earlier that the throne has not been long for the country’s affairs, now is the third year of the Qingxi, the harem is still empty, the longevity of the festival on the ministers on the request of the emperor to the wedding, the emperor has not been shown down, today, the micro-chen risked his life and then remonstrate for the sake of the continuation of the imperial heir of my Great Liang, I implore you to the emperor to select the girl, into the master of the harem! ”
Zhong Lan said spit too hard, white beard are trembling up.
The emperor held a folded, careless look: “know.”
“Emperor–”
“I’m very good, temporarily not collapse.”
The emperor put down the folders, got up and went into the inner hall.
Zhong Lan stood in fear, not knowing whether to go in or out.
Four happiness came in, made a gesture to the outside, and only then did he hastily back out.
The emperor’s anger is rarely seen, no matter before or after the throne, basically everyone has only seen the unsmiling him, and then angry, he seems to just put the face more indifferent a little bit, the eyes cast more cold a little bit, thought the emperor teenagers, for the establishment of the queen consort this kind of thing even if it is not enthusiastic will not be excluded, but now Zhong Lan feel that they have this trip to a big mistake today.
Out of the palace door, they quickly walked towards the government office of the Metropolitan Police Department to go.
There are a few people waiting for tea in the government office, and when they see him coming back, they all get up one after another: “How is it? What did the emperor say?”
Zhong Lan gave a heavy sigh and pointed at them, “I’ve been victimized by you!”
Several people’s faces suddenly changed, even the ones who were sitting without getting up couldn’t help but get up, “What did he say?”
Zhong Lan then said the ins and outs, and then said: “His Majesty, although it is not like the late emperor that and misty, but also humble and courteous, and just now he was directly put down the folding, leaving me out of the temple, you are also really, flinging me to go to touch this bad luck, and now it is good, I do not know how to turn back to the emperor to blame me?”
The crowd was shocked: “Where does this mold come from?”
And then all look at each other: “Today’s morning court is still very normal, how so little time to anger the face of the dragon? Could it be that there is something happening in the court?”
“Who knows?”
Everyone has to participate in the speech. Also said: “Luo family has been in full swing lately, Luo old master has always been supportive of the late emperor and the empress dowager, now on the emperor is also extremely supportive of their family, although thin, but the old master has many disciples, in the dynasty and the various honors and nobles are also friendship, if the Luo family miss become the empress, then the emperor will be even more bold governance. This flower and moon will be the head of the wind but not subdued, and let them get out of a sea political department to, the treasury is still empty it, so tossing, is not nonsense it!”
“Then the emperor this meaning, is it because you want to set up the Luo family? Is annoyed that we interfere with the decision?”
“It’s hard to say.” Someone said, “The heart of the Holy Spirit is hard to gauge, establish the Luo family as a queen, in the Emperor and Luo family are mutually beneficial, the Emperor now values whether the administration is smooth, because if it is not smooth, the Emperor’s authority will be affected, he will not be happy that someone is obstructing.”
“If that’s the case, then it’s even more important not to let the Luo family have their way!”
Everyone nodded their heads.
Passing the outside yamen to refill the tea, a few people started a new round of discussion.
Zhao Su returned to the government office, the first thing to do is to look for Hua Huirong.
Hua Huirong, however, has not yet returned, and sent someone to find, she came back with a jar of wine.
“You drink this wine?”
Smelling the strong aroma of wine, Zhao Su also couldn’t help but look over in admiration.
“I don’t drink it, this is what I passed off from the Luo family.”
“Luo family?”
“Yes, didn’t the girl ask me to check out the Luo family? As a result, I found out that their old lady will be celebrating her birthday in a few days, and the house is preparing for it. There aren’t a lot of things, so they’re not planning a big event. But the things are all good things, this wine is the precious wine of Cuihu House, ordinary people can’t order it!”
“If I can’t order it, I’m still not letting you give it to me.” Zhao Su said and pulled the plug and smelled it, it was really fragrant and mellow, put the wine on the plug and she said: “They don’t have many family members and their relatives are not in the capital, if they don’t organize a big event, then they can only invite a few of their close family members, right? Has our family received any invitations?”
