Empress snatches dried fish

Yu, Gan, Wu, matter.

Every word was like a hammer hitting Geng Bai'an's head, making her pay attention instantly.As a woman, she was all too familiar with such a tone.Although Geng Bai'an has always shown people with a big heart and a bold face since he was a child, plus he likes girls, so he is a very direct person in everyone's eyes, but no matter what, she is still a woman, with the characteristics that most women have. Some small thoughts - especially when I am in love, I will do it occasionally.

Yu Gan's current state is exactly the same as when a modern girl looks unhappy and her boyfriend asks her "what's the matter with you", but the other party answers "I'm fine".So Geng Bai'an, who could empathize right away, was sure that Yu Gan was in a bad mood, although she seemed to really want to hide it, rather than just wanting to do it.

After all, my relationship with Yu Gan is not like that, and I will not be her target, so something must have happened that made her unhappy.

"You are in a bad mood." Geng Bai'an said firmly.

"Yu Gan didn't."

Geng Bai'an happened to be opposite to Yu Gan, so he lowered his body a little, looked up at Yu Gan who was bowing his head, with a worried expression on his face.This is in the palace, if Yu Gan suffers any grievances, Geng Bai'an can help her vent her anger, there is no need to always swallow her anger and look at other people's faces.

Thinking of this, Geng Bai'an suddenly realized.

Why did Yu Gan obviously leave, but returned to Yong'an Hall right after Shu Yonghe left?On the way back, he must have met a concubine who wanted to make trouble but couldn't afford to bully others. He came here because he was wronged and refused to go back. Avoiding Shu Yonghe must also be because he didn't want to make things worse.If you don't tell yourself, you don't want to cause trouble for yourself, and let people say that you, the empress, always protect your own people.

The more Geng Bai'an thought about it, the more he felt that this reason was logical and impeccable, so it must be the case.

But thinking of those people who knew that Yu Gan was on his side, but still dared to do this, Geng Bai'an became furious: "Tell me who bullied you, and I will vent my anger on you."

"..." I didn't expect Geng Bai'an to ask such a question, even Yu Gan, who was always smart, didn't know how to answer her question.Who bullied her?No.But if the person who caused her current state...isn't it Geng Bai'an herself in front of her!

But Yu Gan couldn't say such words.It didn't matter that Geng Bai'an knew about the relationship between him and Lian Caisu before, but gradually he felt that Geng Bai'an was really kind to him, and after his mind gradually changed, Yu Gan already cared a little.Because of this, she wanted to get close to Geng Bai'an, but she didn't get close, for fear that she would have some grudges against herself.

After all, the good feelings of Empress Da Chong did not spread randomly among the people, anyone with eyes in the palace could see it.She still came a bit late, Geng Bai'an has long been someone else's, and she is not free.

The meal was very dull, Geng Bai'an asked Yu Gan several times but couldn't get an answer, knowing that she was beaten to death and refused to tell, so he didn't ask any more questions.He just secretly sent Bai Si out to investigate and see what happened.

After lunch, Yu Gan went back to Feiqiong Hall to rest, Shu Yunlan and Shu Yunruo's two little demon kings were probably restrained by the Queen Mother, so Geng Bai'an was able to relax.She lay on the recliner with her eyes closed, tapping rhythmically on the armrest with one hand, she didn't seem to fall asleep at all, but she seemed to be troubled by something, so she had such a reaction.

"Miss?"

"What?" Geng Bai'an heard Suqin calling him, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the cut fruit had been handed to his mouth.Subconsciously, I ate a piece and chewed it slowly in my mouth. Because I had something on my mind, I chewed a few mouthfuls before realizing that it was my least favorite pear.

Geng Bai'an never liked eating pears since he was a child, this is exactly the same as Geng Bai'an in this world, sometimes Geng Bai'an doubts whether he and the original owner are the same person...but it doesn't matter.Perhaps because of the climate and geography, the pears in this world ripen late, and they will only bear fruit in late autumn, and they will not stop fruiting until early winter.Although Geng Bai'an didn't like it, Wang Leshui who often ran here liked it, so some pears would be sent to Yong'an Hall.

Geng Bai'an frowned and stood up, looked left and right, and finally spit out the pear in his mouth into the plate containing the skin.

"Suqin, why are you giving me pears all of a sudden?" Geng Bai'an took the handkerchief Suqin handed over, wiped his mouth, and lay back on the reclining chair.

"Suqin sees that the empress has something on her mind, and wants to see how important it is." Suqin handed the remaining pear to Suqi, who didn't care, just picked it up and gnawed it.

After entering the palace, Suqin and Suqi found that Geng Bai'an did not have a relationship with them because of becoming a queen, and they didn't like the way they both respected her and dared not say anything, so as long as there is no one else around, The way they get along with Geng Bai'an is still like when they were in the general's mansion.Except that the "Miss" in the mouth has become "Empress Empress", there is no difference.

And in this huge Yong'an Palace, only the two of them dared to tease Geng Bai'an without fear of being punished.

Geng Bai'an thought about it, and thought it was the same. She cared about Yu Gan's matter so much that she couldn't even tell whether it was something she hated at the first time, and it still seemed very important.So she hesitated for a few seconds before getting up, shaking off the sleeves that were coiled up because she thought it was getting in the way: "Suqin, go get the cloak and go out with Ben Gong."

"Yes, ma'am."

……

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Tang Shuo knelt and sat in front of the desk, holding a hand warmer in his arms and rubbing it slowly, wondering what he was thinking.

"Prime Minister, have you thought about my previous proposal carefully?" Shu Hongyu took a sip of hot tea and breathed a sigh of relief.It was approaching the new year, and the weather was getting colder by the day. Even he, who was in his prime, couldn't bear it.If it was in previous years, he would have fled to live in a place where the seasons are like spring for a month or two, so it's not like he can't even stay in the mansion properly now.

Think about it, it's just that you hate yourself.

Tang Shuo raised his hand and rubbed the crowd, and looked up at Shu Hongyu: "The old minister has something that I don't understand, can you tell me honestly?"

"Prime Minister, please tell me."

"As we all know, the prince didn't like to go to Chinese studies since he was a child, and played truant every day. But when it comes to the annual exam, he can get the second best result every time. The first is always the first emperor, is it or not?"

"Yes."

"My lord has been naughty since he was a child. He didn't care about political affairs when he grew up. At the age of 16, he went out of the palace to travel all over the famous mountains and rivers of Chongguo. To the common people, the lofty Son of Heaven and his brothers are far more than the respect of class and etiquette, is it or not?"

"That's right." Shu Hongyu licked his lower lip, and the corner of his mouth curled up in an inexplicable arc: "Tang Shuo, what you asked has nothing to do with the purpose of my king looking for you."

When Tang Shuo heard that Shu Hongyu had changed his name, he knew that he was a little impatient with his question, and said, "Then the old minister's last question is clear, please don't blame me, my lord."

"Say it, forgive you for your innocence."

"My lord." Tang Shuo's gaze sharpened all of a sudden, "Why was the late emperor not you? Why didn't you succeed after the late emperor passed away?"

Shu Hongyu seemed to have guessed that Tang Shuo would ask such a question. He hummed with a smile, and lifted his right index finger and middle finger, and the cup in his hand fell to the ground and broke into several petals. He said slowly, "I have to say that Tang Shuo is Tang Shuo." , Even at an older age, this courage is not small at all. Do you really think that everyone is like the emperor's brother, who can contradict you and praise you as a virtuous minister? If the king is in charge, you Tang Shuo will not live to be 35 years old."

Tang Shuo entered the court at the age of 23, when the Supreme Emperor was still in power.Tang Shuo was already 34 years old when the first emperor came to power. According to Shu Hongyu's intention, he would get rid of him in less than a year!

But Tang Shuo also understood in his heart that despite Shu Hongyu's appearance of elegance and generosity, in fact he would be the most reluctant to see others contradicting him and opposing him.He is also a person who dares to speak out, so he directly confronts what he hates the most, so he will not live long.But if this kind of person is in the top position, he must be a generation of emperors who dare to act.If the first emperor had his decisive power, the changes in the early years would not have been overthrown, and the hard work of the few of them would not have been wasted halfway.

In fact, for so many years, Tang Shuo thought of those colleagues who died innocently because of that incident, and he felt hatred and resentment in his heart, but he also diligently assisted the late emperor without a trace of complaint.But in his heart, he was already disappointed in him.It was then that he discovered something was wrong with Shu Hongyu, and after years of secret investigation, he realized that the most "useless" Xiaoyao Wang among the sons of the Supreme Emperor was probably the best one.

Tang Shuo bluntly said that for most of his life, he was not afraid of anyone: "But the prince is better than the former emperor."

"Nonsense!" Shu Hongyu's face, which had always been smiling warmly, suddenly turned ferocious, and he stretched out his hand and grabbed Tang Shuo's front: "Brother Huang is the best in the world, no one can compare to him!"

After a moment of silence in the room, Shu Hongyu regained his senses and let go of his hand: "Tang Shuo, you have to speak well. You know, this king is here to invite you, not to beg you. Either you or someone else, don't be too Take yourself seriously. As for Yonghe...he is still a child, and when he grows up, he will definitely become the second emperor brother. This king will also help him to become a wise king like the emperor brother."

"That is to say, the emperor didn't know about the fact that the prince came to my prime minister's mansion to be a lobbyist again and again?"

Shu Hongyu smiled slightly: "He doesn't need to know the process, he just needs a loyal prime minister."

"The prince's loyalty to the emperor, the old minister deeply admires."

Seeing Tang Shuo talking about him again, Shu Hongyu also knew that there was nothing left to ask today.He raised his hand and patted the desk twice, then stood up, turned his back to Tang Shuo and walked straight out: "Don't forget what I said, it's not you, it's someone else. But even if you don't agree, don't stop it." He will do something. This king said that Yonghehui will be a good emperor, and it is up to the prime minister to believe it or not."

Tang Shuo silently looked at the direction Shu Hongyu left, and sighed for a while.

"Come on."

"Master Prime Minister."

"Prepare the car, I want to enter the palace."

……

When Geng Bai'an came to Dunyi Hall, Shu Yonghe was reviewing the memorabilia. When he saw Geng Bai'an coming, his eyes lit up, and he waved to her: "An'an, you came just in time, talk to me for a while, and keep looking at these stupid things." I'm going crazy."

Seeing this, Lin Song took out Geng Bai'an's special mat and placed it beside Shu Yonghe.

"What's the matter? Is it a routine weather forecast again?" Geng Bai'an casually picked out a few memorials, flipped through them, and smiled: "This isn't even a forecast, it was several days ago."

"The Great Chong Dynasty has lasted for hundreds of years, and moths are indispensable to this day. These people don't seek merit but seek no fault. They report the weather all day or report why they went. They don't eat, drink, and scatter. The elementary school Chinese teacher who corrects the diary." Shu Yonghe sighed: "It seems that the emperor died of overwork is true. There are so many political affairs to be dealt with every day, and these small diaries have to be corrected. Many people are vying to be emperor."

Just as Geng Bai'an was about to speak to comfort him, he saw the door suddenly shut with a "snap". He exchanged a glance with Shu Yonghe, and put down the memorial in his hand.

Sure enough, Long Shi appeared in the room in the next second, and he knelt down on one knee: "I have seen the emperor, I have seen the empress."

Seeing Long Shi appearing, Shu Yonghe looked serious, as if he didn't want to see him at all: "He went to the Prime Minister's Mansion again?"

"Yes, it didn't take long this time, and it came out in less than a moment."

"Out of the prime minister's mansion, where did he go?"

"Back to the palace."

"Okay, you go back."

"Your subordinate will leave." After finishing speaking, Long Shishi disappeared into the hall with one stroke.

Geng Bai'an carefully recalled the conversation between Shu Yonghe and Long Shi just now, and realized that Shu Yonghe didn't dislike Long Shicai, but that the task he entrusted to Long Shi was unusual, and every time he came back to report, the other party must have it action.And every action of the other party represents a trouble, that's why Shu Yonghe doesn't want Long Shi to come back, in fact, he hopes that the other party can live in peace.

But... the palace?

Geng Bai'an felt strange: "You sent him to monitor Shu Hongyu? Don't you trust him a lot!"

"How do you know it's Shu Hongyu?"

Geng Bai'an rolled his eyes and pointed to his head: "Do you think I'm a fool? It's so obvious after you said it. In the generation of the late emperor, only the prince Shu Hongyu was in Chongcheng, while the prince of your generation There is no one who can afford it, and with the prime minister's stubborn and arrogant temperament, he may just say that the illness is gone, and there is no need for you to send someone there."

Hearing this, Shu Yonghe pursed his lips like "the baby is not happy": "An'an, can't you miss it once?"

"If I can't guess, it means you have changed."

"It makes sense, but it's impossible to refute it."

Lin Song stood aside, bowed his head and smiled - the emperor and queen are still so loving today!

After the two had amused themselves, Geng Bai'an asked seriously: "Tell me what's going on? Why did you suddenly check him?"

Seeing Geng Bai'an's serious questioning, Shu Yonghe told Geng Bai'an about the last time Shu Hongyu punched him inexplicably in the tent.After hearing this, Geng Bai'an rolled up his sleeves angrily, if Shu Yonghe hadn't pulled her in time, he would have rushed out to seek revenge on Shu Hongyu.

"How dare he hit you?! I'll beat her up for you!"

"He knows martial arts, you can't beat him." Shu Yonghe hugged Geng Bai'an's waist and pushed her down.

"Then... I'll let Bai One Two Three Four Five Six beat him up."

Shu Yonghe supported his forehead with a headache: "You should calm down. I just think he is a bit weird. Although I don't usually see it, but since that time, I always feel that he is hostile to us? I said When he was going to find you, he punched you without warning, rather than calming me down, I think he took the opportunity to vent his anger."

Geng Bai'an scratched his head, she wasn't there at the time, and she couldn't analyze anything based on Shu Yonghe's description: "I think he wants your throne?"

"Actually, if he wants the throne, it's easy. As long as he doesn't kill me, the throne is given to him..."

Shu Yonghe had just finished speaking, but Lin Song couldn't help interjecting: "Your Majesty, you can't just say this casually. The first emperor passed the throne to you instead of King Xiaoyao before his death, which means that you are the real dragon emperor. How can you be so casual?" Are you going to abdicate the throne casually? If the late emperor heard you say this in heaven, he would probably annoy you."

"All right, all right, then I won't talk about this." Shu Yonghe knew that he couldn't hold back Lin Song, so he didn't try to argue with him: "But I always feel that he just wants my life, and I even doubted the relationship between you and Yu Gan before." The accident was also caused by him."

Hearing this, Geng Bai'an's expression froze: "This matter can be big or small, it's better to find out before we talk about it."

"Yeah." Shu Yonghe pondered for a while: "By the way, why did you come to see me? Did you come to play with me?"

"You'd better work hard, don't think about playing all day long." Geng Bai'an was asked by Shu Yonghe, and then he remembered the business of coming here: "By the way, those in the harem really don't know how to measure, they always take advantage of me when I'm not paying attention. Bullying Yu Gan. Because I was not at the scene, if you settle the score afterwards, and say that I was biased and listened to Yu Gan's one-sided words, the elders in their family will probably have an excuse to trouble you. So I want to ask, do you want to help Yu Gan get promoted? Status? In this case, they are somewhat afraid."

Shu Yonghe frowned when he heard that someone was bullying Yu Gan, and he had no opinion on Geng Bai'an's words: "You are right, but Yu Gan's background is not enough, even if he is promoted, he can't get too high. How many, what's the point of being promoted?"

"You don't understand this, Lin Song, tell the emperor about the twists and turns, and I will drink up."

"Yes." Lin Song said at the side: "Your Majesty, it is like this. Mrs. Yu Gan's status is too low, and she can only live in the outermost area of ​​the harem. Even if she didn't choose the Feiqiong Palace, it was still a relatively remote bedroom. But If you get promoted, you can justifiably move to the dormitory. Even if you move to the dormitory near the Yong'an Palace because you don't have a background that makes people jealous, the empress will take care of you. One or two positions, then moving to the vicinity of Mrs. Leshui and Mrs. Yinian's dormitories, or even moving in, is also a support."

Geng Bai'an nodded: "Your Majesty, do you understand?"

Shu Yonghe nodded: "It turns out that there are these things here, I have never heard of them, I thought I wanted to live where I want to live! But An An, you are the queen, and I will leave the harem to you, so I will not interfere. It is up to you to decide which position you will be promoted to, and I will give you a seal when the time comes."

"Well, I'll go back and ask Yu Gan where she wants to live, and then decide where to promote her."

Lin Song felt very novel listening to the emperor and empress discussing this kind of matter seriously, including the solution - he had been in the palace for so many years, but he had never heard of such a situation.The status of a concubine is always determined according to the emperor's mood or the situation in the court, and no matter how generous the queen is, she does not want anyone to divide her husband.But now that these two people can leave this matter to Mrs. Yu Gan to decide, it can be seen how high the status of Mrs. Yu Gan is in the eyes of the emperor and empress.

After talking about this matter, Geng Bai'an didn't plan to stay here, so as not to be caught by soymilk.

As the saying goes, "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell", everyone is a good sister, let Soy Milk be that "me"!

Just as Geng Bai'an was about to stand up, a young eunuch knocked on the door.

Lin Song stepped forward to open the door: "What's the matter?"

"The prime minister is here."

Shu Yonghe's face was obviously displeased: "Didn't he be fine when he went to court this morning? What is he doing now?"

To be honest, Geng Bai'an didn't like Tang Shuo very much, not only because he and Geng Yi were rivals, but also because Tang Xiaohan was stuffed in the harem with Tang Xiaohan who knew how to do things all day long, but because this person was too old-fashioned. Comparing the Supreme Emperor or the First Emperor with Shu Yonghe would not give him any face.More importantly, Geng Bai'an felt that such an old-fashioned person would become the biggest obstacle to her implementation of compulsory education, especially female ideological education.

After thinking about it, Geng Bai'an decided to stay and see what Tang Shuo wanted to say.After all, the empress of Chongguo can participate in politics, even if he doesn't want to let himself listen, there is no reason.And being here by myself saves Soy Milk, a stupid person, from being bullied all the time.

……

Here, Yu Gan returned to the Feiqiong Hall with nothing to do, opened the closet by accident, and looked through the various styles of clothes that Geng Bai'an sent, but she had never touched.

"Ma'am, do you want to wear these?" Cui Xin saw her standing at the cabinet door hesitating for a long time, and asked.

Feeling the high-quality fabric in Yu Gan's hands, the corners of his mouth curled up: "I just don't know what color she likes."

"He? Madame is talking about the emperor!" Cui said naturally, "Since the relationship between the madam and the empress is so good, why don't you ask the empress? She is so close to the emperor, so she must know what the emperor likes."

Hearing this, Yu Gan's face darkened: "Cui Xin. As I said, I won't fight for favor, and I don't want to fight either."

"The madam just said..." Cui Xin was startled.

"Don't think about it! I'm talking about Bai An, Geng Bai'an."
