061 Empress Dowager dislike

This has always puzzled Huangfu Shangyin.

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so he decided not to think about it first.

He leaned over Murong Qinglu's ear and whispered to her, "Can I stay here tonight?"

Murong Qingluo was still faint. There was neither sadness nor joy on her face. She whispered, "If the emperor likes it, just stay."

"Okay, I will love you well tonight."

There was a strange smile on his face, which made people a little confused for a while.

And Murong Qingluo ordered Hongyu to go to the small kitchen to make some food for the emperor.

Seeing her seems to be so attentive again, which makes the emperor feel strange.

I don't know whether she likes herself or not, let alone what she thinks.

Since I can't figure it out, I have to forget it in the end.

In the evening, he stayed here with Murong Qinglu again, and the two of them were warm.

The next day, the Empress Dowager went to see him.

When Huangfu Shangyin saw the later, he hurried forward and said with a smile, "Mother, you suddenly came to find your son. I don't know what's important?"

The Empress Dowager looked at him and said worriedly, "Yes, there is indeed something I want to discuss with you when the Ai family came to you. The Ai family wants to ask you. How do you think about the matter of Li Du Qianyi?"

After listening to this, Huangfu Shangyin said with some chagrin: "I once said that I was just perfunctory at that time. I didn't really intend to make Du Qianyi the queen. Mother, don't mention this matter anymore."

"How can that work?" The Empress Dowager said angrily, "Anyway, you must do what you promised Mr. Du." Du Guolao is so powerful in the court. Now that the new emperor of Yunhuang has just ascended the throne, he is not very stable. If he doesn't do this, he will offend Du Guolao and suffer endless troubles. Do you understand?

Huangfu Shangyin said to the empress dowager disapprovingly, "Let's slowly think about this matter."

"Okay, Ai Jia will give you three days. After three days, you must give Ai Jia a satisfactory answer. In addition, Murong Qinglu is indeed helping you ascend to the throne of God, but you can't spoil her too much. Don't forget that she has always been a member of the Murong family in the Mingjing Kingdom. What flows from her is the blood of the Murong family, do you understand?

"I understand, Queen Mother." He said to the Empress Dowager unhappily.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager could not convince him, she had to sigh and left worriedly.

The next day, he went to the court. Sure enough, many people took the opportunity to raise the matter of Li Du Qianyi.

The minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies looked at him and said word by word, "As the saying goes, if a person has no faith, he will not stand, and if the country has no faith, he will not prosper. The emperor is an ordinary commoner. What you say must count, not to mention that you are the king of a dignified country? Since you have promised Mr. Du Guo to make Miss Du Qianyi the queen, and now you have gone back on your point, I'm afraid it will be funny if this matter spreads.

Huangfu Shangyin didn't think so after listening to it.

He said coldly, "It's my business that I want to put who I want to be the future. Whoever I like in my heart will naturally be the future. The reason why I said so to Mr. Du at the beginning was just a stopgap measure. Do I have to take such a big responsibility for my own rights and interests?"

"Your Majesty--" The Minister of War said repeatedly, "Since you promised, of course you should be responsible. If the emperor is irresponsible, I'm afraid it will make the world laugh."

With each other, the situation suddenly became very chaotic, and Huangfu Shangyin was also particularly angry.

Everyone was in a deadlock for a while.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, Huangfu Shang thought for a moment and said, "Well, since you don't listen to what I said, I have nothing to say. Get out of the court!"

With that, he waved his hand and was ready to retreat.

Soon he returned to the palace. After returning, he said that he couldn't afford to be sick.

And the Empress Dowager came to see him again and again, and he didn't go out.

At that moment, a eunuch came to him and told him, "Your Majesty, it's not a big deal. I heard that the old man of Du went to banquet the King Evergreen to dinner. The King Changqing also conspired with the old man of the State of Du. I'm afraid they are plotting the emperor's country. Since you promised, you'd better do it as soon as possible, so as not to make trouble again."

"So what?" He said disapprovingly.

"Even if they want to plan my country, do you think it will be so easy? Du Guolao is nothing. He is just an old man. He actually wants to influence my marriage. In any case, I can't agree.

Huangfu Shangyin said in his own way.

At this moment, there is only one person in his heart, and that person is Murong Qinglu.

In any case, he wants to be with Murong Qinglu. How can he be like this?

So he decided that he could not change his position anyway.

Suddenly, the scene fell into an impasse. She was blocked by him several times later, and the Empress Dowager had no choice but to leave angrily.

But it is also because of this that the gap between the Empress Dowager and Murong Qinglu has deepened.

On this day, after thinking about it, the Empress Dowager went to Murong Qinglu.

Murong Qinglu was embroidering the cross-necked mandarin duck there. Suddenly, he was very surprised to hear that it was too late, so he came out to greet him.

Sure enough, when she saw the Empress Dowager, she saluted the Empress Dowager and said, "Murong Qinglu, see the Empress Dowager."

"Wing up." The Empress Dowager said to her slowly.

She stood up.

The Empress Dowager said to her again, "Actually, I came to see you today. There is something I want to discuss with you."

Hearing what the Empress Dowager said, Murong Qinglu nodded and welcomed the Empress Dowager in.

The empress dowager sat on the red sandalwood auspicious carved cloud pattern chair and looked at her and said slowly, "Do you know that the emperor is angry with the ministers recently?"

"I've heard of it."

Her voice sounded very indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with her.

The Empress Dowager said unhappily, "In fact, the reason why the emperor did this is nothing more than that he refused to ennomend Du Qianyi as the queen. As far as I know, the reason why the emperor refused to book Du Qianyi as the queen is that the emperor has the ideal candidate for the queen.

After listening to what the Empress Dowager said, Murong Qingluo still sat there in silence, with no expression on her face. No one knew what she was thinking.

Seeing that she was so indifferent, the Empress Dowager also had some doubts for a while. She didn't know what she was thinking, let alone what she was thinking.

The Empress Dowager deliberately explored and asked her slowly, "I don't know what you think of this matter?"

Murong Qinglu thought for a moment, and then said lightly, "The things in the harem have her own empress dowager. The emperor is in charge. How can it be my turn to Murong Qinglu?"

"The reason why my family came to you today is that there is something I want to discuss with you. I know that you have always been the most sensible person. Otherwise, you would not have assisted the emperor to ascend the throne at the beginning. Therefore, I remember your feelings all the time, and I am very grateful to you. Ai Jia came to you today. In fact, I want to tell you that you can persuade the emperor again and let the emperor ennoitate Du Qianyi. I don't know what you think in your heart? Nowadays, Mr. Du is quite powerful in the court. If the emperor has any kind of dispute with Mr. Du, I'm afraid that it will be the people under the world who are unlucky at that time.

After listening to the Empress Dowager's words, Murong Qinglu nodded and said slowly, "Actually, what the Empress Dowager said has been told the emperor many times, but the emperor refused to listen, and the concubine had no choice."

"Do you mean that you won't help the mourning family persuade the emperor?"

"It's not that my concubine refuses to help, but there's nothing I can do."

"You..."

The Empress Dowager was immediately a little angry. She couldn't help looking at her, with a little resentment in her eyes, and said to her, "Qingluo, I know that you have always been a sensible child. Why are you confused again at this moment? No matter how many times you persuade the emperor, you can't say that the emperor will listen to it, don't you think?

"In this case, I will follow the instructions of the empress dowager."

Her voice is still cold and faint, making people unable to hear the slightest sincerity.

But looking at her appearance is not like a lie, and the Empress Dowager was also skeptical for a while.

The Empress Dowager thought for a moment and said, "In that case, I will ask you for this matter."

With that, she said to the maid beside her, "Let's go first."

The maid of honor agreed, and the two came out together.

After coming out, Lianxiang, the empress dowager's maid of honor, looked at her and whispered to the empress dowager, "Just now, I always looked at it as if Murong Niangniang didn't want to help. Of course, this was just my maidservant's own opinion. Please don't be angry."

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager became more and more angry and said to her coldly, "Can't even you see it? The mourning family also saw clearly that she didn't want to help the mourning family at all, but the mourning family was suppressed. She had no way not to help. I really didn't expect it. This made my family very disappointed.

"Empress Dowager, what are you going to do?" Lian Xiang continued to ask the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager thought for a moment and said, "What else can we do now? We have to rely on ourselves. Forget it, since the emperor refuses to agree to set Du Qianyi as the queen, it is impossible for the mourning family to agree to make Murong Qinglu as the queen anyway. The mourning family believes that the emperor will eventually listen to the mourning family over time.

"Yes, the maidservant also thinks so. How dare the emperor not listen to the Empress Dowager? The Empress Dowager is the emperor's biological mother, and the emperor is very filial. She said to the Empress Dowager repeatedly.

The Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction and said, "After all, you, the little girl, know what the Ai family is thinking in her heart. Yes, the Ai family also thinks so. Even if Mr. Du wants to be very close to the Evergreen King, he is just pretending. If he wants to show it to the emperor, he believes that the conspiracy will not be the same. At this time, the Evergreen King should not be so stupid and make a conspiracy.

The Empress Dowager thought for a moment and said slowly. In fact, she had seen the situation in front of her clearly.

"The Empress Dowager is wise." Lian Xiang quickly praised.

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "It's not that the mourning family is wise, but since the world is my son's, of course, the mourning family should help my son and help the late emperor take good care of this country. You can't let this country be taken advantage of by Xiaoxiao, do you understand?"

Although Lian Xiang doesn't understand, she knows that the Empress Dowager is wise and great.

Lian Xiang quickly said the eulogy, and the Empress Dowager was very satisfied.

The Empress Dowager left with Lianxiang, and soon he returned to his bedroom.

In the next few days, Huangfu Shangyin said that he was ill and refused to go to court.

Some ministers came to see him, and he refused to meet those ministers.

The reason why he did this is very simple. He didn't want those ministers to force him to marry a woman he didn't like as the queen, that's all.

In this way, this matter has been frozen all the time.

Who knew that a big event happened at this time, that is, Murong Mengze, Murong Qinglu's eldest brother, took advantage of this to launch a war to deal with Yunhuang Kingdom.

The war suddenly panicked, and the emperor was forced to go to court.

The Huangfu Shangyin sat on the court and heard someone report the military situation.

He heard the soldiers say repeatedly, "Your Majesty, you must make a decision now."

After hearing this, the emperor thought for a moment and said repeatedly, "Is everything you inquired about true? Absolutely not fake? Are you sure that Murong Mengze took the opportunity to attack our country at this time?

"Yes, now he has pressed the army on the border and is waiting for the war to start. Your Majesty, what do you think we should do now?"

Huangfu Shang thought for a moment and felt that the whole thing was really tricky, so he said, "Since he is going to attack us, are we still afraid of him?"

"That's what I said, but..." The general said repeatedly, "The Mingjing Kingdom is now a strong country. I'm afraid we may not be his opponents."

"Buncle!" Huangfu Shang said coldly, "Why are we not their opponents, and how can we not be their opponents?" Our troops are not under them. As long as our army is united, it is easy to deal with them.

"But the secretary of the Ministry of War has not come yet, and the bodyguard commander has not come."

Huangfu Shangyin looked at it and didn't see their shadow. He was immediately panicked and quickly asked, "What's going on?"

Someone said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, they all said that they were sick and on leave."

"What? Why is it said that he was on leave due to illness?

Huangfu Shangyin suddenly trembled with anger.

"Is it time to leave at the time of the national disaster?"

"Your Majesty, in fact, the old minister is not feeling well, and the old minister also wants to take leave."

A man knelt down.

He took a look and found that this person was actually a minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies.

The minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies just knelt down, and several people knelt down one after another. Those people all said that they would take leave at this time.

He finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that these people were all Du Guolao's students. Obviously, they did this only after receiving Du Guolao's instructions.

The reason why they did this is nothing more than to force the emperor to make Du Qianyi the queen.

Huangfu Shangyin thought for a moment and said to them, "I will make a decision on this matter. Everyone, now the national disaster is in the face of national disaster. I hope you can put national affairs first."

"I also hope that the emperor can put state affairs first." They all knelt down and pleaded with Huangfu Shangyin.

Huangfu Shangyin felt more and more bored with blood in his heart, but he seemed to have no choice.

After all, these people were all pulled up by Mr. Du at the beginning, and it is reasonable for them to support Mr. Du wholeheartedly.

It seems that I have been forced to a dead end, and there is nothing I can do.

He said, "I'm not feeling well today. Let's retreat first. As for the military situation over there, report to me all the time.

"Yes." They agreed and retreated.

After Huangfu Shangyin returned to the harem, he felt angry when he thought of being forced by the ministers.

As soon as he sat down, the Empress Dowager had already come.

When the empress dowager saw him, she said to him very angrily, "Your Majesty, I have told you again and again, but you are not willing to listen to my family. Now you finally know the seriousness of the matter, right? At the beginning, after the mourning family asked you to set up Du Qianyi, you refused. Now that you have a quarrel with Du Guolao, Mingjing Guo will take the opportunity to attack us. You can't say that the whole thing is Murong Qinglu playing tricks behind his back.

"Mother, you also said that Qinglu wanted to help her son ascend to the throne. How could she play tricks behind her back?"

"Yes, she helped you ascend the throne."
