Chapter 8 Queen's Heart
"See Mother Queen." Zhou An and Shangguan Rong bowed at the same time.
The Queen Mother looked at Zhou An and asked gently: "What do you think of the matter raised by Zuo Prime Minister?"
Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager would raise this question at this time. The Empress Dowager did not mention such a matter in the government before.
Shangguan Rong also showed a curious look and looked at Zhou An, wanting to know what the real Zhou An looks like.
"My son doesn't like court struggles and does not understand national affairs. It's better to have fun with his beloved concubines, so as not to ruin the country. It's better to decide everything for the mother." Zhou An said.
The Empress Dowager smiled slightly, picked up a bowl of tea and took a sip, and put it down, and said with a smile: "You are relaxed. It's a pity that I have no wise king in the Qianyuan Dynasty. Your elder brother was very good at literature and martial arts, but unfortunately he died early.
The other princes died and fled, which allowed you to ascend the throne. Forget it. Since you are not interested in national affairs, then when you go to court, you should pretend to be so that the ministers will not make trouble for this matter again.
It's late at night, I won't disturb your bridal chamber night. Let's take a rest, no need to send it to you." The Empress Dowager stood up and left under the escort of the Purple Guard.
The two of them immediately stood up and greeted them at the door. After the empress dowager left, Shangguan Rong suddenly asked: "The emperor should put the people of the world first."
"I'll go! The old ones are gone, and the young ones are coming again. Your Shangguan family is too suspicious." Zhou An complained secretly and said with a smile: "I know nothing about ministers and the world. I force me to manage the affairs of the world. This is not diligent in doing things, but to harm the world.
As for people, they must have self-knowledge, what kind of ability and what kind of things they do, otherwise it will harm others and themselves. This should be the case with the emperor.
Today is our happy day. The bridal night is worth a thousand gold. Let’s go in. Queen.” Zhou An said meaningfully and walked towards the bedroom.
Shangguan Rong frowned and walked into the dormitory, asking all the palace maids around her to retreat, leaving her personal maid to guard the door.
Seeing Zhou An looking at her, she felt unhappy and said coldly: "As an emperor, you don't think about the country and the country, you only want to enjoy yourself. Are you worthy of your ancestors?"
Zhou An was surprised that he was looking forward to the scene that was about to happen later, but suddenly he found something wrong with Shangguan Rong, which was completely different from what he thought.
She is from the Shangguan family, and her own actions are what they want.
If it is a test, it should be unnecessary at this time. Instead, it is more reasonable to let Shangguan Rong brainwash herself.
He put away his admiring eyes at the women, looked at Shangguan Rong seriously, walked to the table and sat down, picked up the wine pot and prepared to pour a glass for himself.
Shangguan Rong walked over quickly, pressed Zhou An's right hand, touched her skin, tender and gentle, which made Zhou An feel moved. She had to sigh that this woman should only be found in the sky. The woman she met two days ago was really a difference between immortals and mortals in front of her.
"Let me pour wine for the emperor."
Shangguan Rong held his hand and poured wine. This was the closest time to her today. She smelled the faint fragrance and made people intoxicated.
Zhou An really couldn't understand her thoughts, and felt that this woman's behavior was a bit fascinating.
His life experience really couldn't tell the woman's thoughts. He thought that he had the ability to read the appearance in the Nine Heavens Xuannv Talismans he had learned, so he could only use external tricks to deal with it.
Based on what he learned, compared with Shangguan Rong's face, because it was the first time he was unfamiliar with his career and had been watching it for a while, Shangguan Rong thought that Zhou An was fascinated by his appearance.
He smiled slightly, put down the wine pot, and picked up the wine glass with his own hands to feed him to drink.
Because Zhou An was too focused and his brain quickly calculated, he instinctively drank the wine that was about to his mouth, but he suddenly choked and the wine sprayed out of his nostrils.
The queen's chest was wet with part of her phoenix robe. He woke up suddenly. When he saw the position where he was sprayed, he didn't think about anything. He naturally reached out to wipe the wet place.
Shangguan Rong exclaimed, instinctively retreating, but she stopped after just a small step, looking at Zhou An with a shy and blameless look on her face.
"Sorry, sorry." Zhou An immediately realized that his behavior was inappropriate through the touch of his hand, and hurriedly shrank his hand back.
Shangguan Rong took a deep breath, and sat on his thigh as if he had to plucked up his courage, leaned on his shoulder and said, "Master, what do you think you are comparing with those concubines?"
"Of course I can't compare with you. Does the queen want me to spoil you alone in the future?" Zhou An asked back.
Shangguan Rong shook her head and said, "I dare not. The emperor is the emperor. It is so kind to have only one woman around me. How should people in the world view me?
I just beg the emperor to take some time to learn the way of King ** and how to become a good emperor."
If it were to hear this sentence just now, Zhou An would definitely think that the queen began to test herself again, but after seeing Shangguan Rong's face, she turned out to be the appearance of the country. This appearance would hardly appear on a woman, let alone a woman who looks so beautiful and charming.
"Can the Queen know the Queen Mother's ban on me?" Zhou An asked, and at the same time he picked up the queen's right hand, pretended to touch her hand, and looked at her palm carefully.
"I know, the Empress Dowager prohibits the emperor from practicing martial arts, and read any books related to state affairs and emperor skills, or even things outside the harem.
But is the emperor willing to be a dragon in a cage like this? The emperor doesn't think about it. Although you have endless blessings and wealth in the harem, how long can this last?" Shangguan Rong's tone was a little uneven and charming, and she didn't care about Zhou An looking at her hands.
Zhou An put down her hand and looked at the Yiren in his arms, and was a little confused. He was confident in this book of heaven, but he still had a question mark on his ability to read his face. After all, he came from the modern earth, and this matter that concerns his safety, so he dared not use such things to do randomly.
"If the queen has anything to say, you might as well say it." Zhou An said.
Shangguan Rong immediately stood up and knelt down and said, "Please be a good emperor for the sake of Qianyuan's country and the people. I am willing to follow him to the death and assist the emperor."
It was not surprising that Shangguan Rong suddenly said such words. Instead, he just confirmed that he was right. As soon as this woman came in, she obviously had something to do with the empress dowager. He felt strange, but now it is understandable.
"Can you tell me why you, as the direct descendant of the Shangguan family, have to fight against the Empress Dowager? Do you know that if you succeed, your Shangguan family will definitely destroy the nine clans. If you fail, the Shangguan family will definitely not spare you." Zhou An asked sternly.
"I just don't want the Shangguan family to be a sinner for the ages, and I also hope to leave a glimmer of life for the Shangguan family. Although the Qianyuan Empire is now strong in military affairs, this is just the blessing left by the ancestors.
Now most of the wealth of the treasury is trampled on the Shangguan family. The Western Regions are in chaos, and the countries in the north, east and south are eyeing each other. The Qianyuan Empire can be destroyed in an instant with just one step wrong.
At this moment, the factions in the court are still fighting. Although the left prime minister is willing to save the country, he has no choice but to be helpless in the drag of the Shangguan family.
The emperor certainly does not know that many villages in our country have endured the suffering of voodoo contagion on the Western Regions border. The border is unable to treat it, so they can only massacre the entire village and burn it.
Although there was no head-on battle in the north, the patrol troops clashed with the Arctic Kingdom many times, and many casualties were killed and injured. The other party was waiting for the opportunity to expand the voodoo in the Western Regions.
Although the Canglong Empire did not take any action, it was learned from all the information that Canglong was secretly funding the Arctic Kingdom.
Many people in the five southern countries have already sneaked into the capital, and even the emperor's concubines may have their own people. The emperor is also asked to consider the words of his concubines.
It is not to be hiding the emperor. Once the empress dowager is ready and excludes those who block the way, the Western Regions will be chaotic. The emperor will definitely be executed as a tyrant monarch in the disaster. The empress dowager can be called emperor while the national chaos." Shangguan Rong said all these words in one breath, looked at Zhou An and showed a decisive look.
If this is heard by the Queen Mother, even if she is from the Shangguan family, she will be executed.
Zhou An stepped forward and helped her up, sat next to her, poured her a glass of wine and asked with a smile: "How do the queen want to break this game?"
Hearing this, Shangguan Rong knew that Zhou An was already moved. What she needed now was a bargaining chip, a bargaining chip that made Zhou An dare to resist.
She immediately said: "The battle between the Left Prime Minister and the Empress Dowager is an excellent opportunity. However, the Left Prime Minister is weak now. If you give the Left Prime Minister some help, you can force the Empress Dowager to use the trump card in your hand. In addition, the voodoo rebellion in the Western Regions, the Empress Dowager must do its best if you want a complete Qianyuan Empire. At that time, you will have no time to deal with the Emperor, and that is also the Emperor's opportunity.
I am willing to be the emperor's eyes and ears, and say good things in front of the empress dowager, so that the empress dowager can relax his vigilance against you and concentrate on dealing with the left prime minister. I can let my personal maid leave the palace to contact the ministers in the court for the emperor and win their support."
"Okay, everything is up to you, the Queen." Zhou An smiled and lamented that the royal family were indeed good at strategy, and each of them was very ambitious. If Shangguan Rong could suppress it, she would be a talented talent in the country and a beauty in her palm. If she had no ability to suppress it, she would be another queen mother.
Convincing Zhou An made Shangguan Rong happy and said shyly: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, let me serve you,"
