Chapter 308: Regent

Xu Zifan has not visited the Queen Mother in Anci Palace for several days. Because he wants to review the memorials, the government affairs are busy, and the Queen Mother is also busy fighting with the emperor. She doesn't care about other things. For a while, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her. The attitude is much worse than before.
After Xu Zifan went to court on this day, several ministers surrounded him and discussed several important political issues with him. The emperor has already left, and the emperor is going to rest, and the decision is made by Xu Zifan. The ministers have gradually become accustomed to asking Xu Zifan for advice, because it is useless to talk to the emperor.
Mo Yun stood not far away, and didn't bother seeing it, just watched quietly. How long is this? In less than three months, the prince was in control of the government and tended to raise the emperor in the air. But he set up a big game, using the interests of all parties to circle everyone in, so that every step he took had a reasonable reason, just like he was completely thinking about the queen mother and the emperor, without any selfishness.
The so-called fan of the authorities, the most powerful thing about the Wang Ye's trick is that everyone becomes the authority, and he can't see his purpose. Mo Yun looked at Xu Zifan almost admiringly, and soon returned to normal without anyone noticing.
When Xu Zifan saw Mo Yun, he briefly talked about the key points with several ministers, and asked them to go back and show him their thoughts, and then walked towards Mo Yun. The ministers looked at it and knew that this must be the queen mother looking for the regent again. The two have an ambiguous relationship, but the regent hasn't taken that step for so many years. It seems that he only wants to take care of the green plums of the year, so no one is gossiping. Only knowing that the regent is there, the position of the queen mother and son is extremely stable.
Mo Yun bowed to Xu Zifan and respectfully said that the Queen Mother would invite Xu Zifan to go. There was a little court lady behind her, and Xu Zifan walked towards the chariot and asked, "How is the queen mother in these few days? Can the royal doctor be dedicated?"
Mo Yun whispered: "In response to the prince, the empress dowager was fainted for three hours yesterday. The doctor said that it hurts her body. It takes meticulous care to be as healthy as before. Seeing the doctor, the servant girl frowned and seemed a little embarrassed. The maidservant, the maidservant thought, although the medicinal materials in this palace are good, there are some rare and precious medicines or magical doctors outside the palace. Empress can get better soon."
Xu Zifan sank his face, "The emperor is too shameful! The royal doctor is also useless!"
No one dared to answer this. Xu Zifan walked to the chariot and asked, "Is the queen mother still frustrated?"
Mo Yun lowered his head and said: "The empress dowager seems to be a little better than before when she woke up this time, but she is still a little sad. The prince also knows that the empress dowager is very concerned about many things, and it is inevitable that she cannot be happy."
Xu Zifan snorted coldly, "What is worth this? Solve all the unsatisfactory things, this king wants to see who dares to make the queen mother unhappy."
He said he was going to get in the car, and the little court lady behind Mo Yun also relaxed and walked to the back, but Mo Yun stepped forward at this moment, very close to Xu Zifan. In a moment, the two exchanged notes tacitly. Then Xu Zifan got on the chariot, and Mo Yun walked beside the chariot in the same manner as other palace people.
Xu Zifan opened Mo Yun's note in the chariot, and it was still very brief, mainly to inform him that she and Xiao Shunzi had already controlled the power of the queen mother and the emperor, and then as long as they continued to create the contradiction between their mother and child, they could be one. Someone who needs to get rid of them. In addition, Mo Yun also wrote several pronouns, telling Xu Zifan that in addition to Xiao Shunzi, there are a few outstanding people who can use it.
The original master’s power in the palace was to help the queen mother and the emperor in the early days. He hasn’t used it in the past three or four years. He doesn’t know that much. Naturally, Xu Zifan doesn’t know much. It’s a coincidence that Xiao Shunzi can be picked out. Mo Yun has helped him sort out this force. In addition to these people, Mo Yun also recruited two people for his own use by virtue of kindness and good popularity, etc., one in the imperial dining room and the other to serve Lotus.
Xu Zifan didn't know what exactly she used to absorb these two henchmen, but it made him take a higher look at her. Because of Mo Yun in this world, his mission has been much smoother. When Mo Yun was selected to be sent to the palace, he really chose the right person. It was a great blessing!
Xu Zifan put the note into the space, thought for a moment, took out a pen and paper to quickly write down the queen dowager's likes and dislikes, as well as the special things encountered since childhood, and then put the paper into a ball. When he got out of the car, he asked Shaohua to monitor everyone, found a space that no one noticed, and flicked the paper ball into Mo Yun's cuff. Mo Yun's eyes changed and he immediately put it away, and followed Xu Zifan into An Ci without incident. palace.
The queen mother paid great attention to maintenance before. Although she was over thirty, she looked like she was in her twenties. Now her body was affected by her repeated illnesses. She had a thick makeup on her face, and she still couldn’t hide her fatigue. The gaunt look, a bit like a person in his forties, already looking older than Xu Zifan.
She also knew that she was not good-looking now, so she didn't plan to reminisce about the past with Xu Zifan, but instead showed weakness to Xu Zifan through her poor health. She sighed: "I have encountered too many bad things this year. I wonder if it's a passing year and it's time to go to the incense."
Xu Zifan said indifferently: "There are only a few bad things in a year, it's nothing, just solve it."
The queen mother shook her head and sighed, "I understand, this child has to let go when he grows up. After all, I am an elder, how can I really care about my child? Sometimes he has to be beaten and beaten to understand the truth. Besides, I’m old too, I don’t have the energy to worry about before, and after a few more toss, I can’t hold my bones anymore."
Xu Zifan took a sip of the tea and smiled, "I'll say you're old after only thirty. It's so boring for you to have nothing to do in the palace, right?"
When the queen mother saw that he didn’t answer her words, she didn’t mention the emperor and power, she simply said a bit harshly, "Am I not boring in this palace? There is only a relative of the emperor, and he is busy, not as caring as when he was a child. A little grandson, maybe I can do something. Alas, after I fainted this time, the royal doctor said that I was not in good health, and it might not be useful to nurse. I don’t know how many years I can live or whether I can watch Until the great-grandson is born."
When it comes to life and death events, Xu Zifan has to be "concerned". He puts down the tea cup disapprovingly, "It's just fainting, how can it be so serious? The imperial doctor is useless, I will find you a genius doctor outside the palace, and I will be able to treat it well. Your body, then you can have six generations in the same house."
The queen mother laughed and nodded,
I’ve always felt relieved with you. But if you want a grandson, you have to let the emperor get married first. It’s always different for the grandchildren. Zhong Qian, I thought about it, the emperor. It’s right to be in love with that Furong, but I wanted to get rid of the taint of Furong before, and I have been separated from them. If they get married, I will be very embarrassed in the future, and their children will not be close to me. Qian, you know that I have always been thinking of Yang'er. When I think of their family and He Lele in the future, only to exclude me, I feel depressed..."
The queen mother looked down, waiting for Xu Zifan to consider her and persecute the emperor. Who knows Xu Zifan said: "You have done enough for the emperor. Since you are so depressed, you might as well think about yourself in the future. When he grows up, he has his own life to live. Don't you feel at ease just watching him happy? Why don't you find something interesting to do, raise a puppy, go on a tour in a microservice, hold a banquet and watch a show, or I will find you two cute little children for you to raise?"
The empress dowager's expression froze, this person is really dead-headed, she has to explain it to understand!
She smiled, waved her hand and said, "What can you do with other people's children? You know I don't have that patience, and besides, I don't like those things for fun. These two times I fell ill and thought to myself. Many. Before you proposed Qiu Wen to be the queen, I still don’t think she is suitable. Now that I am sick in the palace, no one cares. If there is a caring niece by my side, it will be much better. Zhong Qian, Otherwise...it's better to settle down, and Li Qiuwen will be the queen. This child is a good person, and his reputation in Beijing is the first one. After entering the palace, she will not compete with Furong. She can take care of the palace affairs and be filial Me, I will be much easier in the future."
Xu Zifan hesitated: "But didn't you say that you want the emperor to choose himself? He likes Furong in his heart, but you let him marry the Fu family girl, he will definitely give birth to a rebellious heart..."
The queen mother saw that he was still under the influence of the previous remarks and really wanted to support the emperor’s love, so she hurriedly interrupted him and wiped her tears, "Zhong Qian, I can’t do anything. My body is broken, you know, that Furong You know what it is from. Before I thought, no matter who it is, I can teach her how to behave, how to take care of the harem, how to get along with the housekeepers and relatives, but now I have the energy to teach others? I must hate me in my heart, why would you want to learn from me? I can't let the royal family become a joke, it is better to let Qiu Wen enter the palace, Qiu Wen will take good care of me in the future, the emperor and Furong can also be together. He is the emperor after all , There will be many concubines in the future, not many Qiuwen, I have selfish intentions, knowing that the emperor likes Furong and let Qiuwen enter the palace, I have treated her badly, so I should make up for her. Qiu Wen!"
Establishing Fu Qiuwen for the queen, from the very beginning, the queen mother kept refusing, and now she pleaded to assign her post to Fu Qiuwen, the situation has completely changed, and the incident has nothing to do with Xu Zifan. It was a decision made by the Queen Mother. Xu Zifan was relieved now and didn't make any excuses, but his face didn't look good when he responded to the matter, and he even got up and quit.
"The queen mother knew that the minister did not like to beat the mandarin ducks. After the emperor was established, the minister had promised to let him decide for himself. Now he must be forced to marry a wife, or the Fu's daughter whom the minister mentioned before, it will inevitably make the emperor think The minister is too arrogant, regardless of his feelings. The minister... don't say anything, since it is the Queen Mother's expectation, the minister will definitely handle the matter well."
The queen mother wanted to say something warm, but Xu Zifan said to leave and left without giving her a chance to speak. She didn't mind, after all, the more Xu Zifan didn't want to beat the mandarin ducks, the more it showed that he cared about their things back then, which was a good thing for her.
She told the palace people to retreat, and after Mo Yun left, she asked people to find the little palace lady who followed Mo Yun to invite Xu Zifan.
