The whole family of villains criticized her wildly, but the princess treated her with medical treatm

"The female official who taught sexual intercourse was punished by the emperor to copy the Heart Sutra three hundred times."

Empress Dowager Yan closed her eyes with a gloomy look on her face, "The Ai family hesitated a lot and tried to bring him and Mingyue together, but with little success. After several times, Mingyue seemed to have become cold-hearted."

Mu Tingxue opened her mouth and said bluntly: "To be treasonous, Queen Mother, you should not have given Mingyue a marriage to the emperor's brother in the first place."

She advised.

But the queen mother didn't listen at the time and insisted on bringing in another Queen Yan so that the Yan family could continue the glory of her maternal relatives.

Queen Mother Yan was not angry, so she stuffed a piece of chicken leg into her daughter's mouth and blocked her mouth.

Mu Tingxue ate it as fast as she could, and continued: "Thanks to Mingyue's help in this matter. Even though this cousin looks delicate and frail, she is also very smart and can get things done at critical moments. . It is really wronging her to be buried in the palace for the rest of her life."

"If it doesn't work, drug the emperor."

"Mom, don't be impulsive."

Mu Tingxue was convinced. She put down her chopsticks and grabbed the queen's hand. "It's not sweet to force a melon. If it backfires and the two of them become enemies, Mingyue becomes like you and wants to kill her husband. What should I do?" Is good."

Queen Mother Yan calmed down instantly, remembering the years when she had a knife hidden in her body: "That's all."

"My daughter feels that the most important issue right now is not the consummation of the queen's marriage, but the fact that after Xie Yi's death, Yan Dang turned against the emperor's brother. In a year or two at most, he will become a big deal and go against us."

"Oh, if he wants to be the second late emperor, he will be abolished."

Queen Mother Yan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and murderous intent emerged, "Choose another younger one from the clan, or simply -"

She stared directly at her daughter.

it goes without saying.

Before Qing Yuan put down the rebellion, Empress Dowager Yan had never had this idea. She only wanted the best for her daughter. When she saw that her daughter was interested in political affairs, she made her the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. When she saw that her daughter and Yan Yanglang were in love, she became a concubine for them. The marriage was granted; but after the battle at Baidi City, Queen Mother Yan suddenly realized that her precious daughter was as versatile as the regent, able to stabilize the country and govern the world.

This time, it was Mu Tingxue's turn to stuff a chicken leg into the queen's mouth.

"Abolition of the establishment can only be done when everything is ready."

What does it mean to have everything ready?

That is, the true sense of controlling the power of the country——

First: the three provinces and six ministries are under her control, and all the opinions of the ministerial office must be finalized through her.

Second: The three largest military powers, the Jinwu Guards' 50 forbidden troops, the 30 Zhenbei Army, and the [-] Southeast Navy, are all effectively controlled by her.Especially the Central Forbidden Army, which is responsible for protecting the imperial power, and all important positions must belong to her.

Third: Take control of the central finance and firmly hold the economic lifeline of Yunhuang in the palm of your hand.

From these three points, it seems that Li Fan is pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. He is pretending to be weak, and the real power he controls is not under Yan Yang.

Yan Yang's coup six years ago was actually extremely dangerous.

Not everything is ready.

This led to many hidden dangers. Yunhuang's finances and state affairs were almost in ruins. The only thing that could be saved was the regent's military administration.

The child's father was holding on with terrifying military strength. Yunhuang, a big national machine, was not running smoothly in the hands of the queen mother and him, and could even be called terrible.

When Mu Tingxue took a sedan chair back home from the palace, it was already dark.

In the study room of Qiying in the mansion.

Zebao and Yabao were lying in front of the golden nanmu table, with textbooks stacked high beside them, engrossed in writing furiously.

"This scene looks familiar."

It reminded her of her middle school days when she would crazily make up for summer homework the night before school started.

The two cute babies followed Mu Tingxue to Baidizhou. Although they were not going to the Imperial Academy's Mentoring School for the time being, the old priest gave them a lot of homework.

There are two bronze candlesticks in the study room, filled with red candles, and the candlelight flickers.

In ancient times, this might be considered a good lighting device, but Mu Tingxue, who was accustomed to the brightness of modern light bulbs, still felt that it was a bit dim and not good for children's eyes.

She took out two kerosene lamps from the space.

This is a gift from the seller when wholesale 5 barrels of [-]L smokeless Buddha lamp kerosene.

The market price of kerosene in Shanghai is 8.5 yuan/liter. She wholesales it for 40 yuan a barrel, which is not much cheaper.The seller only gave away one hundred old-fashioned glass-shaded kerosene lamps, also known as Buddha lamps.

After all, modern society has long eliminated kerosene lamps, and electric lamps for lighting are only used when worshiping gods.

There were more than 1000 barrels of kerosene left in the space. They had not used them during the war, so she took out a barrel at random.Pour the candle into the lamp, then take a candle from the bronze candlestick, light the kerosene lamp, and cover it with a glass cover.

There was one on Yanze's table.

Xie Wuya also placed one on his desk.

The two cute babies were surprised to find that the originally dark study room instantly became bright!

Not the reddish candlelight, but the white flame light group!The unclear handwriting on the book suddenly became extremely clear!

"Mom, this lamp is so bright. It makes my son feel less sleepy instantly."

Ya Bao was very surprised.

The shadow of the candle flickered red, which was really drowsy.affect learning.

"This cover must be made of precious crystal glass! It's so clear." Zebao knows the difference. His father has a crystal glass cup, a gift from his mother. His father drinks water from that glass cup every day. I wonder how precious it is. , I didn’t even let him play with it, for fear that his hands and feet would be broken.

"That's right." Glass-covered.

Mu Tingxue put a hand on the knob of the kerosene lamp, "Remember, this is a mechanism that can adjust the size of the flame. Turn it to the right to make it brighter and brighter. You can adjust it to a setting that is comfortable for your eyes as needed. brightness."

"It's amazing. Mom is so kind."

Yan Ze played with the knob switch, bright and dark, dark and bright.

It wasn't until Mu Tingxue slapped his butt that he stopped his naughty behavior: "Stop making trouble and write quickly!"

Early the next morning.

Mu Tingxue held a kerosene lamp and went to greet her mother.

Considering that my mother had been working hard under candles for decades, which was really bad for her eyesight, I sent one as a gift.

Empress Dowager Yan was already approving the papers in front of the imperial court.

Just listen to a soft "click" sound.

The light shines brightly, suddenly several times brighter than the previous candlelight!

Queen Mother Yan raised her head and looked at the lamp with beautiful patterns on the base of the crystal glass cover in great surprise: "This is it?"

"The lamp for you is smokeless and does not smell of oil."

Mu Tingxue also introduced the use of kerosene lamps to her mother just like she had demonstrated to her children last night.

Queen Mother Yan gently stroked the glass lampshade with her hands and marveled: "My son is like the reincarnation of Lu Ban. The light is so bright and the light and dark can be adjusted. It is a wonderful workmanship!"

Mu Tingxue enthusiastically told her mother how to adjust the light and dark of the kerosene lamp.

She didn't notice that at some point, the emperor who came to pay her respects and the four prime ministers who came to deliver memorials and discuss affairs were all standing not far behind her with envious expressions on their faces.

"Um, your highness, the eldest princess, my uncle is old and cannot see clearly. I wonder if you have any extra glass lamps?"

"Get up and drive." Prime Minister Zuo pushed aside Prime Minister Right, "Your Highness, my uncle is getting older and sheds tears in the wind. Can you sell this smokeless and bright glass lamp? The price is negotiable."

"Your Highness, when Yang was reading recently, it seemed as if mosquitoes were flying in front of his eyes, and he couldn't even make out the words. He is in urgent need of a bright glass lamp."

"My Tian Sheng's eyesight is damaged when he studies at night. He always puts his head to the book and sticks it. Can your Highness sell it to Cui?"

"Well, Sister Huang, I have been feeling discomfort in my eyes recently. The doctor said it was caused by the oil lamp..."
