Yilanxuan, in the study room in the west wing where Ouyang Rong left.

In front of a tea table.

It was surrounded by people at this moment.

But no one spoke to break the silence.

Li Xian stood there in despair, holding the tea table with his palms. The tea set on the table made "gurgle" sounds from time to time and was shaking.

Wei Mei stood next to her husband and held his arm. Her face looked a little sad, as if she was also reminded of some past memories.

Behind him, Su Dalang was silent.

Xie ordered Jiang Longxiu to stand quietly, also silent.

Su Guo'er silently walked to the door, clutching the fabric of her sleeves tightly with her bare hands, slightly raising her chin, and looked towards the courtyard door where Ouyang Rong left.

Su Guo'er could quite understand her father's mood.

My father had just ascended to the throne of emperor and respected his grandmother Wei as the empress dowager. However, my father's foundation was weak and his essence was neglected. All major affairs of the court depended on his fierce mother.

So my father had no choice but to reuse Wei's relatives and try to build his own power in the court. However, his grandmother Wei let it go. Just like Zheng Zhuanggong, he deliberately indulged and induced, which eventually led to the outbreak of conflicts.

At that time, my father made a series of personnel appointments and promoted the father-in-law of the Wei family quickly. Finally, he wanted to promote him to Shizhong, one of the prime ministerial positions in the political affairs hall, but he was opposed by the ministers of the court.

My father-in-law was the emperor, and when his decree was blocked, he was naturally furious. Impulsively, he blurted out that he would have given the world to his father-in-law, so how could he still begrudge the position of a servant?

Such angry and impulsive words naturally caused an uproar in the government and the public, and became a fuse. Grandmother Wei used the secret to conspire with all parties to depose her father as King of Xunyang and appoint her fourth son, Li Lun, as the new king.

emperor.

After that, all the government affairs fell into the hands of my grandmother Wei. Later, he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, changing his name to Zhou...

Although more than ten years have passed since the incident that changed the fate of her family, it left a huge inner shadow on her father.

Su Guo'er once heard her mother-in-law mention that her father often woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, babbled in fear, threw herself into her mother's arms, and cried bitterly.

Su Guo'er didn't find it funny how cowardly her father was.

He may not have been a qualified emperor back then, but he was definitely a qualified husband and a qualified father.

Her grandmother, who had never been masked, was just the opposite.

Su Guo'er turned slightly and glanced at the note Li Xian was holding in his hand.

She stepped forward and took the note from Li Xian while Wei Mei and Su Dalang gathered to comfort her.

Xie Lingjiang glanced sideways at the maverick Su Guo'er.

Su Guo'er quietly lowered her eyes and paused for a short while on the line of handwriting belonging to Ouyang Rong.

"Then mother and son are as good as before... Is Zheng Bo Duan Yu Yan... Is there really a person in this world who can predict events like a god and predict the future?"

The little girl with bright red plum blossom makeup on her forehead whispered softly in her heart:

"Ouyang Lianghan...is worthy of being the noble man in that proverb, and he is also...the noble man of my family now..."

Unlike her father's emphasis on leaving leisure, Su Guo'er, like Ouyang Rong, also feels that the line "the mother and son are as good as before" is the most subtle and expressive.

By the way, there is also the wonderful allusion "Zheng Bo Duan Yu Yan".

If the subsequent situation develops, as Ouyang Lianghan said just now, it is exactly the same as what they overheard. Empress Wei will relax her mother and son, re-enable her family, return to Luoyang, divide the rebels, and ease the contradiction between the rebels and Wei...

So, her family's ups and downs are indeed very consistent with "Zheng Burke and Duan Yu Yan".

Because Empress Wei, like Zheng Zhuanggong who dominated the Spring and Autumn Period, was impeccable in imperial power.

But in terms of family affairs and family relations, he was shameless by historians and descendants.

No matter how much the two men with outstanding achievements exaggerated and publicized their younger brother Shu Duan, their son was arrogant and overbearing, and was not like a human king.

No matter how much you pretend to be innocent, you pretend that you have no choice but to take action.

Neither of them could explain why, as brothers and mothers, they didn't discipline and stop it in time.

If you don't change after being taught, then taking action is definitely the right thing to do.

But if you punish them without teaching them, you can learn from their minds.

In the final analysis, the two of them still regarded their brother and son as their enemies and rivals in their hearts, without any regard for the love between brothers and the affection between mother and son.

What the other party did to make people angry and resentful was in line with the wishes of Duke Zhuang and Empress Wei. If they played hard to get, they could get rid of their opponent in an honest and fair manner.

Brother is not brother, brother is not brother, mother is not mother, son is not son.

Nothing more than that.

And the word "ru" in the sentence at the end, "The mother and the child are as good as before" is even more wonderful.

Historical records record that Mrs. Jiang was frightened when she gave birth to Duke Zhuang.

Because Mr. Zhuang was born feet first, which was a typical dystocia, Mrs. Jiang named Mr. Zhuang Weisheng, which means upside down life. As you can imagine, she hated Mr. Zhuang since he was born.

As Zhuang Gong has been looked down upon since childhood, the relationship between mother and son is naturally one of disdain for each other. This is where the word "as before" is intriguing.

As for why Zhuang Gong went to such unnecessary lengths and came out of the underworld to see his mother, it showed that the conflict had eased, and he turned around and "mother and son are as good as ever".

For such a king, there is nothing more than "fame and fortune" behind him.

Perhaps it was due to consideration of filial piety after death, or perhaps it was based on the interests of the time. After all, royal marriages in various countries were common during the Spring and Autumn Period, and Mrs. Jiang naturally had a natal family from her homeland...

But just like now, Su Guo'er overheard Ouyang Lianghan's assertion that the grandmother would most likely send someone to pick up their family, return to Luoyang, and inherit the throne.

Just for her power and interests.

Empress Wei is so similar to Duke Zheng Zhuang from thousands of years ago.

Su Baoer repeatedly twisted the creases on the note with her fingers and remained silent.

My father also said not long ago that my grandmother had hated him since she was a child and loved Princess Changle and Prince Xiang Lilun because the fortune teller had said that my father looked good at Taizong, and my grandmother must have had very complicated feelings towards Taizong...

In any case, she didn't know about her father who valued emotions, but for her grandmother, if it was in her own interests, it would not be surprising at all for her to stage a "mother and son as before" in public after many years of separation.

Su Guo'er took a deep breath, constantly speculating on the thoughts of the grandmother who had never been masked before.

After all, the future fate of their family depends entirely on the wishes of this grandmother.

But Ouyang Lianghan's words just now made her heart, which was originally a little dead, rekindle with passion.

In front of the door, Li Xian commented that the little girl with plum blossom makeup looked like his mother, and suddenly he felt some curiosity:

What does it feel like for a woman to hold power? It can make that grandmother still hold on to it with gray hair and be mesmerized.

Do all the men in the world kowtow when they meet me, or do all the Qi practitioners in the world bow their eyebrows when they see me?

Su Guo'er turned her head and looked outside the door. A pair of slender autumn eyes looked north in the direction of Luoyang, which was also the direction of Meilu Garden.

It seemed that a certain dashing figure of "getting out of bed when it's over" appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart:

"I don't know how he found such a wonderful allusion. Did he really just look through it casually...

"No, it can't be such a coincidence.

"It seems that you have already understood everything, right? You were chatting with me before, but you didn't know anything about it.

"It seems that either they treat me as an outsider, or they treat me as a naive girl with inadequacies and inadequacy..."

Su Baoer clenched her teeth slightly, looking at the clouds in the sky, quietly slipping away under the dazzling sun above her head, a strange thought suddenly came to her mind:

"What would it be like if one day, such an outstanding man like him could fall under my skirt obediently and obey me without hesitation?

"Speaking of which, how much power do you need to bribe and convince him? Is my grandmother enough..."

The chest was obviously not tight, but Su Bao'er suddenly felt a little out of breath, and her cheeks were surprisingly hot.

As soon as a strange desire to win arose, it filled her chest uncontrollably.

I don’t know why, but at this moment, I suddenly want to prove something to a guy who loves to pretend to be confused and ignore her, and I want to see him be surprised or look downcast...

Su Guoer tasted power for the first time.

Even if it's just a distant thought.

…

Ouyang Rong didn't know that he had just left, but his junior sister's study was so busy and could hide so many people, including a stunning young girl with a mind and ambition as big as the sky.

Regarding the latter, if he knew about it, he would probably shake his head, smile, and say, "It's pretty good."

"Strange, what are these merits?"

Ouyang Rong returned to Meilin Courtyard with questions on his head.

When he was drinking tea in his junior sister's study, he was confused by the sudden increase in merit, so he left Yilanxuan and returned home.

Ouyang Rong did not say goodbye to Xie Lingjiang, mainly because he was afraid that his junior sister would keep him for tea again, act cute and coquettishly for the last time, and get a lot of words out of him.

Anyway, Ouyang Rong would go to her to discuss the case later in the evening, so he left without saying goodbye.

Meiluyuan, study room.

After dismissing Ye Weilai and other maids, Ouyang Rong closed the door tightly, lay on the armchair, frowned and muttered:

"Could it be said that the things I revealed to my junior sister will have a positive impact on her and the teacher, so I was rewarded with so many merits? It makes sense.
