~8 min read 1,452 words

"Can you say hello to the Empress?" Imperial Concubine Jing asked cautiously.

Chen Guanlou looked at the other playfully, "Just say hello?"

"With my status, I dare not ask for too much." The bitterness in her eyes flashed away.

Chen Guanlou smiled, "Just don't want to enter the palace, right. Don't enter the palace during festivals either."

"Don't want to! Like you said, a widow like me, what am I doing in the palace. It's annoying. And the child is still young, it's dangerous to enter the palace. Wait until the child is older, I will bring him into the palace to pay respects."

Entering the palace is unavoidable.

In a few years, as the Rui Prince grows older, as a court prince, he will definitely enter the palace to pay respects and worship, and some important occasions need to be attended. Imperial Concubine Jing as the Rui Prince's mother, when the Rui Prince is young, will definitely follow into the palace.

However, by then, they mother and son only need to attend formal occasions, no need to worry about being embarrassed by Empress Dowager Sun, because the time and occasion are wrong.

In the eyes of the public, Empress Dowager Sun also wants face, and dare not do too much.

She just wants to avoid the next few years, avoid the most difficult few years.

"This little thing, I can help you. However, I don't guarantee that the Empress can stop Empress Dowager Sun."

Imperial Concubine Jing heard this, and instantly beamed with joy, "The Empress can definitely stop the Empress Dowager. The Empress has extraordinary ability, the Empress Dowager is not the Empress's opponent at all."

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows, "Oh, you have such a high evaluation of the Empress. However, the Empress has lived in the Phoenix Palace until now, and has not moved into the Kunming Palace."

Imperial Concubine Jing laughed, giving him a look, letting him understand for himself.

"That's because the Empress doesn't care, it doesn't matter if it's the Phoenix Palace or the Kunming Palace. If the Empress really wants to fight, Empress Dowager Sun is definitely not an opponent. And, doing this has another benefit."

"What benefit?" Chen Guanlou was very curious.

"The Empress Dowager bullying the Empress, this matter is placed on the table, placed in front of the world, placed in front of all court officials. If one day, both sides conflict, court officials will subconsciously stand on the Empress's side. Because, since the Empress entered the palace, she has been 'bullied' by the Empress Dowager, even the palace was forced to give up."

Hahaha...

Chen Guanlou laughed out loud, hugging the other tightly, "You're right! The Empress Dowager bullying the Empress, this matter is placed on the table, better than anything. Good and bad, the public says the public is reasonable, the mother-in-law says the mother-in-law is reasonable. But what a person has done, everyone can see. The Empress is bullied, the Emperor didn't stand up for the Empress, didn't come forward to mediate, and didn't express his position publicly, silence represents acquiescence. This vague attitude, it doesn't matter in an ordinary family, but it won't work in the royal family."

"Can this matter involve the Emperor?" Imperial Concubine Jing was curious.

Chen Guanlou smiled lightly, "If the Emperor has his own direct team, he can successfully take power as soon as he ascends the throne, he can do whatever he wants, no one questions it. Just like the late Emperor, first was deposed, later reversed the wind, look, has anyone questioned it? As soon as the late Emperor ascended the throne, he directly pulled the Eastern Palace subordinate officials to occupy various positions in the court, and he could immediately operate the court.

The Emperor can't! The Emperor doesn't even have a trusted minister, he can only rely on the team left by the late Emperor to govern. He is controlled by others, at this time he actually needs a clear image to stand up, let people value him, value his attitude, value his position.

The Empress Dowager and the Empress fight, if he can express his position publicly, no matter who he supports, as long as there is a clear attitude, court officials will recognize him, think he has his own opinions and responsibilities, can handle the trivial matters of the harem, and the trivial matters of the court are also not a problem. He is controlled by others, and doesn't have a clear position, it's strange if he isn't suppressed."

Chen Guanlou sneered at Emperor Yuanding.

Of course, in the final analysis, it is still to blame Emperor Emperor Jian Shi.

All responsibility lies with Emperor Emperor Jian Shi.

Emperor Emperor Jian Shi refused to cultivate his sons well, refused to give his sons more opportunities to exercise. Afraid that his sons would take power and threaten his authority.

Finally caused the current situation.

"However, the Emperor clearly has a clear position. He has always been obsessed with cleaning up the Ning Prince's group."

"Are you sure that's a position?" Chen Guanlou smiled playfully, "Instead of killing and venting anger? These few months, the things he is obsessed with are just to vent his anger, never clearly expressing his political position, nor showing his governing ability. He puts the cart before the horse, doesn't think about progress, doesn't think about repentance, really dull and unbearable!"

Imperial Concubine Jing looked at his face with worship, "You know so much. Think about it carefully, it seems it's really like what you said, the Emperor has never clearly expressed his political attitude."

Chen Guanlou laughed: "He doesn't look like an Emperor, more like a willful young master."

Imperial Concubine Jing couldn't stop laughing, "The Empress Dowager is not stupid. If she were really stupid, she wouldn't have fought with Imperial Concubine Xiao for so many years, and still firmly occupied the position of Empress. But she really doesn't know how to raise children. Does the Emperor count as being raised waste by her."

"Doesn't count. The late Emperor's sons, their aptitudes are all very ordinary. Your son, maybe he will be very ordinary when he grows up."

"Ordinary is good!" Imperial Concubine Jing felt relieved, accepting calmly, "If he were too smart, I would worry about his safety instead. Smart people think too much, have too many troubles. Seeing too clearly, and being in that position, will live very hard."

The helplessness of being clear-headed is the most painful.

Better to be ordinary, don't think so much, can be happy for one day is one day.

The two people messed around in the mountain villa for two days.

Chen Guanlou returned to the capital, his whole person refreshed. Anyone who saw him knew what he had been doing.

He promised Imperial Concubine Jing to pass a message to the Empress, naturally he would do it.

Through the Marquis Mansion's people, he sent a message to Empress Chen.

After two days, two eunuchs came from the palace and summoned him into the palace.

"Didn't the person who passed the message say clearly, why summon me into the palace again?"

"This servant doesn't know. We are all serving orders, I hope Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen won't make things difficult."

"Fine, I'll go into the palace with you."

He followed the two eunuchs, straight to the Phoenix Palace.

Empress Chen saw him and immediately dismissed the palace people, not allowing them to enter without her instruction.

She looked at Chen Guanlou, her eyes strange, suppressing laughter.

Chen Guanlou was a little panicked, a little unsure, "Why is the Empress looking at me like this?"

"I heard people say before that Uncle Lou likes beautiful young widows, I didn't believe it. Now I know, it was me who was too simple before. Uncle Lou's preference is indeed as always."

Chen Guanlou was embarrassed!

Being teased by a junior, it's really fatal.

He quibbled, "It has nothing to do with this."

"If it has nothing to do with it, why does Uncle Lou want to stand up for Imperial Concubine Jing? If it has nothing to do with it, why does Uncle Lou want me to take care of Imperial Concubine Jing? In front of me, why does Uncle Lou need to cover up. I'm not a child, what I should understand and what I shouldn't understand, I understand!"

Chen Guanlou's face was comparable to the city wall, but at this moment he was rarely a little embarrassed.

This matter is making...

Feels a bit shameful!

There is a feeling of being at a great age, the original steady image, destroyed in one day, and being discussed gossip by juniors.

Shameful, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen!
