Confidant

"Yes." Empress Dowager Lu didn't raise her head either.

Zhao Su picked up the tea, took a sip, looked elsewhere, and then withdrew her gaze: "When I went to the Taoist temple last night, I heard a gossip. The Taoist said that Tang You, the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel, and Cheng Liang, the man in the Ministry of Works, actually smashed each other's shop because of the snacks, and it has not opened yet."

The tip of the pen swept on the inkstone pool stopped. Empress Dowager Lu raised her head, and the always quiet eyes had a brief fluctuation.

Zhao Sujin saw it, but his face seemed to be nothing: "The emperor wanted to eat the Tang family's snacks yesterday, but he didn't even eat them."

"Why smash the shop?"

The ink on the tip of Queen Mother Lu's pen fell into the inkstone pool with a slight shaking.

"I heard that it was because the Cheng family regretted the engagement with the Tang family before?" Zhao Su said casually.

The fluctuations in Empress Dowager Lu's eyes became more obvious. Although they disappeared very quickly, it was completely impossible to ignore them.

"Is that right?" After a moment, she lowered her eyes, swept the tip of her pen a few times around the inkstone, and then wrote.

The palace suddenly became quiet, and Zhao Su suddenly didn't know what to say. After sitting for a while, he quietly got up and walked out.

When she arrived on the corridor, she slowed down and looked back at the direction of Cining Palace.

She was already sure that Empress Dowager Lu didn't know about the affairs of Tang Cheng's two families. Empress Dowager Lu was a successful queen of a generation. In this time and space, it can even be said that with her time traveling through identity and outstanding ability, she was once considered an empress who was unprecedented and unparalleled.

But in the original work, she was so meticulous and capable, and only after three years of rising from the position of queen mother, she didn't even know that a pair of her generals turned against each other. Is this a tiger napping, or is it that her aura of the heroine Mary Sue also declined as the original novel ended?

And if so, why could she support the Qin King Yi Crown to the Emperor when she was there?

Without some strength, she shouldn't have done this so smoothly.

"Mr. Zhao, Lord. Fang is waiting for you at the Ministry of Rites."

The little eunuch who came from somewhere hurriedly came to pass the message.

Zhao Su restrained his thoughts, nodded, and walked towards Donghuamen.

Back at the Ministry of Rites, Fang Qingxue said to her head: "Ma Weiqing took his wife and daughter to move out of the Ma family."

"how?"

"Sun Xiulan has recently visited the Ma family to visit her daughter every three times. She should have some demonstrations. After Sun Xiulan left yesterday, Ma's mother ran to Pang Shuyun's room to curse and curse. Pang Shuyun cried and alarmed Ma Weiqing in the school. When Ma Weiqing came back, she argued with her mother. Finally, she was slapped twice by Ma's mother, and then the couple moved out."

"Then why don't they go to the Pang family?"

"Sun Xiulan sent someone to pick her up, but Ma Weiqing couldn't let go of her face. She was afraid that people would say that he would marry into her husband, so Pang Shuyun also wanted to follow her husband, so she was like that."

Zhao Su thought for a while: "What do you say about Sun Xiulan? Isn't it necessary for us to mediate again?"

"Sun Xiulan asked us to help Ma Weiqing leave the Ma family." Fang Qingxue sneered lightly, "The key is that she has not obtained Ma Weiqing's consent."

Zhao Su Ningmei, it is of course a good thing for a woman to be so tough, but when it comes to others and acting so tough, is it a bit strong? Naturally, they can't help her do such a thing. This is a matter that concerns the clan. If the censors are not good, they can sue her and Fang Qingxue to be demoted to civilians!

As the leader of the Flower Moon Society, he is also the image of the Flower Moon Society and the example of women all over the world. There are countless people in the court waiting to get the handle. Sun Xiulan's aggressive behavior is very unfavorable to them.

She remembered: "Does the Queen Mother know the recent situation of the previous masters?"

"In the past, Lord Hu En led people to supervise. There has never been any problem." Fang Qingxue said this and frowned and stroked her beard. "Speaking of this, when the late emperor was there, the flower moonlight was running very normally. Many things that were unfavorable to reputation have been in the past few years. Sun Xiulan has also become stronger and stronger in recent years."

Zhao Suwei was stunned: "Is there any necessary connection between this?"

"It's not easy to say. It just makes people sigh that after the late emperor left, the empress dowager was a daughter, and after all, some things were inconvenient to do."

is that so?

Zhao Su recalled the way Empress Dowager Lu had never washed up before. Whether it was the description of Lu Ling in the original work or the appearance of the Empress Dowager she had seen with her own eyes, the heroine always strictly demanded herself.

She doesn't look scary when she doesn't dress up. It's true that there is another kind of beauty, but it makes people wonder. Empress Dowager Lu's spirit has always been a little depressed during this period. She has been wearing dark circles that can't be suppressed by makeup several times. Today, she doesn't even combed her makeup. What's going on?

But when she came over and saw her, and when she talked about her marriage with the emperor a while ago, wasn’t she still full of energy?

"I will first draw a document to reply to Sun Xiulan. We can't do this!"

Fang Qingxue said and replied to the case.

Zhao Su looked at him and said, "Mr. Fang was the subordinate of the late emperor before, so he should be familiar with Tang You, the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel, and Cheng Liang, the man in the Ministry of Works, right?"

Fang Qingxue looked up: "Some friendship."

"Do you know the fact that the Tang and Cheng families have become enemies?"

Fang Qingxue took a breath: "I heard that some of them. The Cheng family regrets getting married."

"Is the Cheng family a daughter? Isn't he afraid of damaging his daughter's reputation?"

"First of all, as a minister promoted by the Empress Dowager, I actually didn't take this seriously as much as a gentry. Secondly, the Cheng family did not say the reason, but someone outside guessed that something happened to the Cheng family's daughter, which seemed to have something to do with the Tang family.

"Anyway, it's just a sensation. I don't know whether it's true or not. Moreover, both Tang and Cheng families have tacitly never mentioned it to the public, so there is nothing to say about this matter."

If something happens to a big girl who is about to marry, she will not get married anymore. That must be related to chastity. But it still has something to do with the Tang family?

"As a result of this, no one of them went to complain to the Queen Mother?"

"I don't know very well. However, before the emperor ascended the throne, he had received the promise from the empress dowager that he would not interfere in political affairs. I believe that even if the Tang and Cheng families wanted to sue, they would not sue the Cining Palace. Moreover, the empress dowager was afraid that it would be inconvenient to deal with it, so he could only hand it over to the emperor. From the standpoint of the Tang and Cheng families, facing the emperor's inconvenience, it is not surprising that the empress dowager was unaware of it."

Zhao Su couldn't speak anymore.

She knew that Empress Dowager Lu had promised the emperor not to interfere in political affairs, but she was Empress Dowager Mary Su. It was reasonable for her to pay attention to her confidants, right?

She began to recall that from time to time travel to the present, Empress Dowager Lu has been fighting for the Huayuehui to move forward. In the novel, she said that she helped the late emperor to attract talents, but later she became her supporter. But so far, she has only talked about a few people who have been by her side to support her reform from beginning to end.

One Hu En, he had already left, and the other one Fang Qingxue, he came in later.

An old teacher Luo said that she had a deep friendship with her, but when she returned to Beijing, she started to attack the emperor and wanted to send her lady to become the queen.

Of course, there are still a few other cases, but if you count them carefully, this situation is too far from the situation when she was the queen.
