Chapter 55 The General's Son (1)
"Heh, dare the regent prince still have to listen?" Fang Xiu lowered his face pretending to be angry.
The fragrance in the room bursts, and those who smell it are relaxed and happy, Xuanyuan Yan put down the tea cup in his hand, and looked at her indifferently: "The queen mother seems to be very angry today?"
Fang Xiu: "..." Is she angry? How could any courtier dare to speak to her like this?
Taking a deep breath, she raised her hand on the table and said neither yin nor yang: "Why does Aijia do the Prince Regent? Half a month later, the envoy of Lan Guo will visit, and the Prince Regent should think about who to marry."
It's not easy for her queen mother!
"The emperor is still young, so naturally he can't bring Princess Nalan into the harem." After speaking, he turned the jade finger in his hand calmly, "Although the emperor can't do it, the minister has not married yet."
"No!" Fang Xiu subconsciously refused, but when he met the other person's puzzled look, he coughed a little awkwardly, "The princess of the Lan Kingdom has a noble status, and if you want to marry, you have to choose from our royal family's children. , Although the emperor is still young, there are many suitable age candidates in the other clans, so the marriage must be beyond the reach of the regent."
If the male lead's son is married, what will she do!
Hearing her words, Xuanyuan Yan couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "What does the empress dowager mean... do you mean that Wei Chen's status is low?"
"No!" Fang Xiu didn't know how to explain it, so he could only look at him impatiently, "Prince Regent, don't over-interpret Aijia's words, if you have a low status, isn't that all men and women of low status?"
Fang Xiu's mood is very complicated now, she is afraid that the male protagonist's son will rebel, and at the same time he is afraid that he will hate her, but now she doesn't know how to deal with this situation.
When the words fell, Xuanyuan Yan just nodded slightly, thoughtfully, "So that's what the Empress Dowager meant."
Seeing his expression, Fang Xiu didn't know which country he wanted to go to, and finally he could only wave his hand, "Aijia is tired, you should retire."
Besides, she didn't know what to say.
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yan really got up and lowered his head slightly to her, "Then Wei Chen will retire first, and the Empress Dowager remember to rest well."
Fang Xiu: "..." Did she think too much? How did she feel that this regent was always weird?
Walking out of the Longevity Palace, Xuanyuan Yan had not walked down the steps when he saw two familiar voices hurried over.
I didn't expect to see him here, both of them were stunned for a moment, and after they had reacted, they immediately bowed down and saluted, "Xiaguan has seen the prince!"
There is an old man and a young man in front of him, the old man's temples are gray, but the old eyes are shining, the young man looks handsome, but there seems to be some reluctance on the face, which shows that his heart is extremely poor.
"I don't know what the matter is that Master Fang came to the Empress Dowager?" He looked down at the two of them, and turned the jade wrench on his hand in a hurry.
Fang Kong scolded a traitor in his heart, but the old face was full of respect, "Back to the prince, it's just some personal affairs in the lower official's family, and I want to ask the empress dowager's opinion."
When the words fell, a dark-skinned guard behind Xuanyuan Yan suddenly said coldly: "The Empress Dowager not only has to worry about state affairs, but also take care of the emperor, Mrs. Fang came to trouble the Empress Dowager because of a trivial matter, I really have no compassion at all. !"
After speaking, there was a hint of embarrassment on Fang Kong's face. Fang Liu, who was beside him, immediately stepped forward, but he was firmly held back.
Xuanyuan Yan waved his hand to let the guards back down, and glanced at the two of them lightly, "Master Fang, as the father of the queen mother, it is normal for the father and daughter to talk about family matters, but the harem has never allowed foreign men to enter, so Mr. Fang still stays. It's better to be outside."
"I'm the elder brother of the Empress Dowager, why can't I go in?" Fang Liuqi suddenly hesitated.
At that moment, the guard behind Xuanyuan Yan drew his sword, and Fang Kong was so frightened that Fang Kong hurriedly pulled his son behind him, "My lord, forgive me, the dog is young and doesn't understand the rules of the palace, and the lower official never wanted him to enter the empress. Bedroom!"
Fang Liu glared, seeing that his father was so humbled by this traitor, he was not annoyed!
Xuanyuan Yan waved his hand and asked people to step back, "This king believes that Master Fang is also a person who understands the rules."
After he finished speaking, he swept his gaze towards the guards guarding the Longevity Palace again, "In the future, except for Mr. Fang, no foreigner will be allowed to enter or leave the Queen Mother's bedroom.
"Yes!" The guards outside the hall immediately called in unison.
Fang Kong's face changed slightly, but he almost forgot that the commander of the Imperial Guard in the palace was also the man of this traitor!
Glancing at him lightly, Xuanyuan Yan then walked slowly and slowly away from the Longevity Palace.
Watching the back of his leaving, Fang Kong patted Fang Liu's shoulder, "You wait outside, Father will come out soon."
Fang Liu was very unwilling, but he could only watch his father enter the inner hall.
Fang Xiu is still eating pastries here. Her taste is different from the original one. She prefers to eat sweet pastries, but before she can take a bite, she suddenly hears a notification sound from outside.
She was so frightened that she immediately put down the cakes, and then continued to sit there, watching her father slowly walk into the hall, and bowed down to give her a salute, "Wei Chen greets the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand thousand years old!"
"Father, please get up." Fang Xiu immediately went over to help him up.
Fang Kong glanced back, and the former immediately said to the palace maid at the door: "Go and see how the emperor is doing."
"Yes." Several palace maids immediately retreated slowly.
It wasn't until there was no third person in the inner hall that Fang Kong lowered his face and came to sit down in front of the soft couch. He didn't know what to think, and suddenly slapped the table with his palm, "Humph! This Xuanyuan dog thief is getting more and more rampant now. Such reckless suppression of our various families!"
Seeing her father's furious look, Fang Xiu also heard about it, but she didn't know how to say it. The family has a solid foundation and monopolized the resources of many officials from the DPRK and China. This time, the male protagonist's son is also She was ruthless and pulled out a lot of important official positions for the children of aristocratic families. As a leader, Fang Xiu felt that he did nothing wrong, but she is now an empty shelf. Know how to express an opinion.
"The power of this dog thief is getting stronger and stronger. Not only will you and the emperor's status be guaranteed, but even our Fang family will not escape!" Fang Kong slapped his palm on the table again, blowing his angry beard.
Fang Xiu sat across from him, not knowing how to speak. After all, although the male protagonist's son was in control of the power, he didn't do anything wrong. Instead, he reduced the taxation of the common people. It's just that some of his actions were definitely detrimental to the interests of these noble families. of.
"Father, daughter thinks... this Prince Regent should not rebel." Fang Xiu's words were a bit false.
When the words fell, Fang Kong glared at her angrily, "I don't care about us old ministers before we ascend the throne. In the future, we will definitely rebel. When he becomes emperor, there will be no existence of our Fang family. Besides, what is the difference between him now and being an emperor!"
Fang Xiu had never seen his father so angry before, so he could only comfort him: "Then father thinks... what should we do?"
After speaking, Fang Kong's expression changed as well, he touched his beard with deep eyes, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "The only way to do it now is to start first!"
Fang Xiu was so frightened that his palms tightened, but Fang Kong looked at her expectantly, "You are the queen mother, that dog thief will give you a little face, next time he comes to you, you can put it in the tea Order some medicine, why don't you do it and kill him endlessly, and then put the blame on others!"
Seeing the ruthless expression on his face, Fang Xiu's mood was complicated. Inside and outside, she felt that no matter what she did, she definitely couldn't kill her, but if she didn't kill her, she probably wouldn't give up when she looked like this.
Seeing that she seemed a little hesitant, Fang Kong's old face showed a trace of displeasure, "Xi'er, it's also for your sake, if you don't do it, sooner or later he will do it to you and the emperor, it's better to do it first. !"
Fang Xiu sighed lightly, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, "Let me think about this matter, if there is nothing else, father should go back first."
"You..." Fang Kong seemed a little unwilling, but in the end he walked away.
Fang Xiu was very helpless, because no matter what she did, it was wrong, but for now, it's better to do it first, maybe she could persuade the male protagonist's son to treat their Fang family better in the future.
...
When he went to court on the second day, Xuanyuan Yan sent one of his lieutenants to go on an expedition, leading 100,000 troops. During the expedition, Fang Xiu was a woman and could not show her face, so he could not go out to cheer on the soldiers.
The weather was very hot that day. The little emperor kept clamoring for iced mung bean soup, but because he was afraid that drinking too much would be bad for his health, Fang Xiu never let him drink more.
"The mother... the son wants to drink it!" The little emperor took her clothes and kept swaying and coquettishly there.
Fang Xiu couldn't stand the cuteness of the child the most, so he could only pick him up in the end, "It's getting late, how about the mother taking a nap with you?"
Hearing that he could sleep with her, the little emperor nodded immediately and lay on the bed with his arms around her neck.
After finally coaxing the child to sleep, Fang Xiu was already sweating profusely, and the palace maid at the back immediately asked, "Have you taken a shower and changed clothes?"
In such a hot day, I can't stand it without taking a shower.
"By the way, Ai's family asked you to pass an audience with the regent, can you pass it on?" she asked casually.
The next moment the palace maid heard the words and said respectfully: "Go back to the maiden, at this time General Gu and the others have already set off, and the prince should also enter the palace."
After thinking about it for a while, Fang Xiu lowered his eyes and said lightly, "Then wait for Ai's family to take a bath."
...
There is a Tangquan Bath Hall in the palace, only the Queen and the Queen Mother can enter, but now there is no Queen, this bath is hers alone.
The light gauze fluttered in the hall, the fragrance was overflowing, and a layer of red petals floated on the warm spring water. Fang Xiu took off his clothes and slowly stepped in. After his whole body was submerged in the water, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Go back," she said lightly.
After the words fell, several palace maids immediately took a few steps back and turned and left the hall.
Xuanyuanyan entered the palace after receiving a decree. He thought that the queen mother just wanted to discuss marriage candidates, but when he came to Changshou Palace, he heard that the queen mother was bathing in Tangquan Palace.
"How long has the Empress Dowager been gone?" He glanced at the big eunuch lightly.
The latter immediately lowered his head and said respectfully: "If you go back to the lord, the empress dowager has just gone, why don't the lord sit here for a while?"
The eunuch's forehead was full of sweat, and he was deeply afraid that the grandfather would not wait, and the queen mother would lose her temper again when no one was seen.
After a pause, he just waved his hand, and then stepped out of the Longevity Palace.
Looking at the back of him leaving, the eunuch patted his forehead with a sad face, and he knew that the master would not wait!
When I came to Tangquan Hall, there were still a few guards guarding the door, but when they saw Xuanyuan Yan, they all knelt down on one knee, "The servants knock to see the prince!"
With a wave of his hand, he glanced at the palace door, and casually turned the jade finger on his hand, "Is the Queen Mother inside?"
When the words fell, the guard nodded immediately.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Yan suddenly pushed the door of the hall and stepped in directly.
The guards outside looked shocked and confused.
After a while, the people inside withdrew again, and glanced at a few people with a half-smile, "What did you see?"
Upon meeting his cold gaze, several guards immediately shook their bodies, "The servant didn't see anything!"
They saw the Prince Regent peeking at the Empress Dowager taking a bath!
After glancing at a few people, Xuanyuan Yan walked in again, and the next moment, the hall door was immediately closed by a big hand...
The author has something to say: Yes, such a coquettish director came with a memory!
(No memory before, all intuition.)
