Spring Forest Evening

Yes, this question made Zhou Heng recover from the bloody relationship between the emperor and the queen mother. After talking for a while, he was still circling around the name of "Hexiang Xiaozhu", but What does that name have to do with the four people here?

Hehe, it doesn't matter if it's half a dime!

Shen Fu, who was next to him, frowned when he heard Shen Yi's words, and Zhou Heng almost couldn't help but want to reach out and hold him together because of his good-looking appearance.

Uncle He was still there, smiling, first looked at Shen Fu who was silent, and then reminded Shen Yi who spoke just now:

"Hehe, your thoughts are exactly the same as I was at that time! I rushed to the palace early in the morning, but I didn't want to, but I heard all the old things, and they were all court secrets. Alas, I really doubted myself while listening. Didn't there still be such a trace of curiosity in my heart, after hearing it, I almost couldn't sit still and got up to say goodbye."

Shen Yiben just wanted to gently remind Uncle He to speed up the progress. After all, he was still beaming when he entered the door just now. It is conceivable that there will be gains in the future, but at this moment Ahua is still hanging out with a puppy. After finishing myself, I should go to see my son earlier. Now that I heard him say this, I asked with a smile:

"Then how did the empress make you, Uncle He, sit and listen as steadily as Mount Tai?"

Uncle He laughed when he heard this:

"What is as stable as Mount Tai? In fact, I still didn't hold my breath afterwards. Of course, I didn't want to hold my breath. Didn't the empress say that I was impatient, so I just let her see my short-temperedness!"

"Anyway, depending on the situation, although she is the Queen of the Central Palace, she must be asking us for this matter, not us asking her. What are you afraid of? She is not afraid of wearing shoes with bare feet. She will go around in circles , let’s say goodbye and leave without any loss, haha.”

This made Shen Yi give him a thumbs up with a smile, and Uncle He responded with a gesture of raising his hand to express his shame. Zhou Heng also laughed when they saw this small gesture, and said jokingly:

"That's right, Uncle He is not in a hurry, let alone us!"

This made Uncle He laugh again:

"Regardless of whether you are really not in a hurry or pretend to be in a hurry, the rest of the matter is not that complicated anyway, so I really need to make a long story short."

"At that time, I made a somewhat anxious look, and said some comforting words to the empress. After all, the emperor has taken good care of her all these years, at least people outside the palace like us looked at her. , and said that the queen mother is always an elder, and it is right to be patient, so as not to be criticized by others."

"As for the rest of the people in the palace, Concubine Xiang Gui and Concubine Ye Shu, no matter who has a prince, they will always be inferior to her in terms of status. Take ten thousand steps back and say that no matter which prince will inherit the throne in the future, the empress will be the same." Will the daughter-in-law who has been married for many years become a mother-in-law, a proper empress dowager of the Palace of Compassion and Peace?"

"Guess how the empress will react when she hears my great truth? Is she furious or just walks away?"

While talking, he looked at Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng felt inexplicably that the way Uncle He looked at him was a bit like when a teacher who liked him specially asked him to answer difficult questions when he was studying. Having said that, anyway, this is not the classroom of the year, and it doesn’t matter if the answer is wrong, there is no pressure:

"Uncle He, you also said that the Empress was taught by the Taifu and was personally selected by the late emperor. How could she be so unrefined? Besides, she asked you for something, and the goal has not been achieved, so she will not rush away. Go, so I guess, after hearing your seemingly profound and righteous words, the empress must not be angry but smile—”

"That's right!" The words were cut off by Uncle He's palm before reaching the end:

"You really hit the mark, not bad not bad!"

These words of praise caused Shen Yi to tilt her head and look at Zhou Heng approvingly. Shen Fu, needless to say, naturally had a look of pride in his eyes. Zhou Heng's face was a little red. In fact, according to modern psychology, The answer is not difficult to guess at all. Uncle He's own words revealed the result, but he is always happy to be praised, so he very humbly threw another brick:

"Then next, the Empress Dowager should officially clarify her intention for asking you to go this time? According to the story of "Hexiang Xiaozhu" above, it is estimated that she wants you, Uncle He, to help deal with the Empress Dowager? So, let's It can be regarded as the same destination as her!"

Speaking of this, I feel something is wrong:

"However... a while ago, the third princess rushed to the palace in the middle of the night to help put out the fire. It's not a secret. The third princess helped the second prince look after the house. The empress lived in the palace, so she must know. Why did she come here rashly? Looking for Uncle He?"

But after thinking about it, I felt that my thinking was too simple:

"Actually, it's not impossible. After all, Ah Fu doesn't have any friendship with their mother and daughter. The Empress Dowager certainly doesn't know about our relationship with the Empress Dowager and the third princess. Well... I guess, Uncle He, the Empress Empress is giving you a promise. What good is it?"

They are all adults, so even if she is the empress, if she wants to find someone to help her, Uncle He is not something that ordinary people can order. What's more, the people to deal with are the empress dowager and the third princess. , and this condition is quite good, otherwise Uncle He would not come back happily.

"It's true that there are different paths to the same goal," Uncle He felt that the young lady of the Zhou family in front of him was really good, and she had guessed the point of every sentence, but no matter how clever she was, she would never have thought of what the Empress Empress said next:

"It's not false to know that the third princess came to the mansion in the middle of the night to help put out the fire. As for whether Prince Jing's mansion has friendship with the queen mother and daughter, hehe, Aheng, and Ayi and Afu, Uncle He, I originally wanted to It’s a joke, but I’m afraid to scare the three of you, so I’ll let you know first: You know, I stood up in fright when I heard it, and I almost gave away my secrets.”

"What's the matter? At that time, after hearing my sincere words, the empress only asked me with a smile: "Although you were not in the mansion at the time, Prince Jing's fiancée who has been waiting for him for many years, Miss Zhou , you are always clear about the ins and outs of falling into the water in Liuhu Lake, right?'"

What?How did it come to me?Zhou Heng couldn't recover for a moment, and then heard a soft "click", turned his head and saw that it was Shen Fu who was drinking tea with his head down, and the lid of the teacup slipped out of place.

Shen Yi directly exclaimed:

"Why, is it possible that the queen also knows about this? Then Ah Heng..." Thinking of what Uncle He said just now, she finally swallowed the second half of the sentence.

Uncle He looked at Shen Fu who had put the teacup back on the table smoothly, and seeing that his expression was calm, he nodded and smiled and accepted Shen Yi's words:

"Yeah, I was just like you at the time, thinking that the Queen Mother knew that Ah Heng was still alive, so I stood up in fright!"
