All Hail Cousin Brother

Princess Qiuli bit her lip, and although she was unwilling to give in, she still said: "Aunt, I'm sorry, it was me who ruined your plan."

With the affection between Duke Ningguo and the emperor, she would be able to make a good relationship with the new queen. No matter whether her plot to deal with the princess was successful or not, there would be no harm at all.

By then, if the new queen treats them with some courtesy, they will be able to stand up regardless of whether they are in the palace or outside.

Now, they had offended the new queen and caused a scandal, and even the emperor didn't want to see them anymore.

The great kindness also cost her a lot of trouble.

Mrs. Rongguo put down the small golden scissors and cleaned her hands: "I can't blame you completely for this matter. It's still Bo Yi between me and the Queen Mother. I never expected that the Queen Mother was superior in chess and returned the favor. Don't forget to join my army to guard against me early on. I used my status as queen to make a big fuss about the marriage between Princess Chang and King Wu Mu, win over Princess Chang and King Wu Mu, and cut off my escape route early on. If I hadn't With a cautious heart, I deliberately instigated the ministers, proposed to choose a good wife for King Wu Mu, tested King Wu Mu, and exposed this betrothal marriage. If we abandon our troops and protect the chariot, I am afraid that we will become treacherous ministers and traitors."

She originally planned to allocate Li Yang to King Wu Mu.

Then Princess Shao Yichang was given in marriage to the fourth prince.

When the time is right, he will help the fourth prince Bao ascend the throne and become emperor.

Enjoy the honorable name of Queen Mother.

Who could have imagined that all these plans were ruined in the hands of the Queen Mother.

Princess Qiuli's face turned pale: "Aunt, the imperial decree granting you the title has been issued, and the emperor has also given you another mansion. Obviously he doesn't want us to live in the palace all the time. Do we really want to move out of the palace..."

Of course, Mrs. Rongguo knew that she had been living in Yikun Palace for a long time, and her reputation was not justified: "The emperor restored the title of his father, and also gave his brother the posthumous title of Yiyong Marquis. Even I, the former empress, also granted the title of Zhengyipin. Madam Rongguo, I also gave you the title of princess, and you have shown your kindness to us, the Ning clan."

Qiulijun took the initiative and moved his lips: "But I don't want to leave the palace."

Even an imperial concubine is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

"Silly boy, when looking at a problem, you can't just look at the surface," Mrs. Rongguo chuckled, gently and kindly: "What's the use of superficial beauty?"

Princess Qiuli looked confused. Didn't the Queen Mother say that the Emperor's kindness to the Ning family has been exhausted? Why do you say this is the scenery on the surface?

Mrs. Rong Guo sighed softly: "If the Emperor is really kind to our Ning family, why not choose a capable person from the Ning family to inherit the title of my father Ning Guogong? The title of Ning Guogong is hereditary, and now the Emperor is pursuing both After regaining the title, my father is no longer here, so it is only natural to choose someone to inherit the title."

But the emperor did not do this and did not want to let Ning return to power.

"You just don't want me to live in the palace. You can return the old house of Duke Ningguo and let me live in Duke Ning's Palace. Why do I need to live in Qiu Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing, far away from the capital and the court, in a mountainous place?" Palace?"

Princess Qiuli was confused.

Cursing her inwardly for not being enlightened, Mrs. Rongguo continued: "I just think that I have too many calculations. After the death of the Queen Mother, I have a very close relationship with the previous court. She is worried that I will have close contacts with the courtiers in Beijing and do anything. Power involves politics.”

Princess Qiuli's expression was not very good: "My aunt helped the emperor ascend to Dabao, how could he cross the river and demolish the bridge?"

Mrs. Rongguo shook her head: "Let's talk about you again. Yin Huaixi changed dynasties, and your name as princess also existed in name only. Since the emperor wanted to give you a generous gift, why didn't he choose another title and give it with the word [Li]? It's just a slap in the face. You, I ask you to remember your identity, and don’t do anything that goes beyond your reach and hinder the eyes of the one in Chengqian Palace.”

Princess Qiuli's face turned pale. The gap from the direct princess to the princess had already made her feel very uncomfortable. Now that she learned that her title had another meaning, she felt even more uncomfortable.

Mrs. Rongguo sighed: "I originally hoped that you could win the emperor's favor and be granted a concubine, so that the Ning family could use your power to regain power. No matter what happened, you could still be on good terms with the new queen and let her work for you. By marrying the talents of the Yu clan, we, the Ning clan, can also use the Yu clan to make a comeback."

Princess Qiuli's eyes suddenly widened with disbelief on her face.

My aunt never mentioned this before.

Mrs. Rong Guo said: "Earlier, I took a fancy to Yu Shande. He was from the lineage of the Yu clan. Not only was he famous in the family, he was already highly regarded in the previous dynasty. Later, he was appointed to the Hanlin Academy as a public relations officer under Zhang Wenzhong. His heroic deeds of disaster relief have earned him a reputation. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he appointed him as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. He was admitted to the East Pavilion as a bachelor. In the future, he will surely become a very popular minister and become the second assistant of the dynasty. You have the support of the Yu family. , with Queen Yinmeng above and support from the clan leaders below, there is no better future than this."

Over the years, the chief assistants have all come from the official and household departments. People from the Yu clan are hard-working and hard-working, and they can do more practical things when they are placed in the Ministry of Industry. The emperor cherishes talents. This arrangement is to allow early understanding of the public sentiment and a high reputation among the people. The great Yu Shande can show his talents in the Ministry of Works. With Yu Shande's reputation in the world, in the future, when the Ministry of Works responds to the fortifications, it will be carried out more smoothly.

The chief assistant is temporarily taken over by Mr. Yu Ge, but Yu Ge is getting older than sixty, and he wants to start training the next chief assistant for the imperial court, so that he can retire after his success.

Except for Yu Shande, there are currently no outstanding talents in the Yu clan. Yu Shanyan, the eldest son of the second eldest son of the Yu Mansion, is somewhat talented. After all, he is only an official, and his future is not yet apparent.

From this point of view, it is impossible for the first assistant to come from the Yu family.

She was more optimistic about Song Mingzhao. When Yu Zongshen was in the previous dynasty, he had the intention to train Song Mingzhao. Song Mingzhao was indeed worthy of a big job.

The Song family and the Yu family have been friends for generations. In the future, Song Mingzhao will not be able to surpass Yu Shande in the court. The two sides complement each other, but they also check and balance each other.

The Yu clan's wealth is still far behind.

It's a pity that this plan was ruined in the hands of this idiot.

Princess Qiuli was dizzy and immediately thought of the young man she had met by chance in the palace earlier.

He was not as handsome and noble as Song Ming Zhao, nor as graceful and dignified as the emperor, but his eyebrows were sparse and broad, as if he had hidden everything in the world. He only wore a gray robe and stood there with his hands behind his hands. The magnanimity of Luo Tuo and the Immortal.

She had only seen this kind of demeanor from Mr. Hushan and Mr. Xianyun before.

She stood and stared for a long time, and couldn't help but ask the palace attendant: "Who is this person?"

The palace attendant replied: "This is Mr. Yu Xiao, the former lecturer of the Hanlin Academy, and the clan brother of Princess Shao Yichang. The emperor has issued an edict, ordering Mr. Yu to return to the court. Mr. Yu will enter the palace today to pay homage to the emperor."

She thought for a long time before she came up with someone like Yu Shande.

The reason why I have an impression of Yu Shande.

This is because Yu Shande was once a close minister of the previous dynasty and later the lord, so everyone should pay attention to him.

This marriage was extremely honorable even for her as a legitimate princess.

A feeling of sour regret suddenly arose in my heart.
