Chapter 563: Selfishness (three shifts)

Everyone thought Liu Zhao was going to fall out of favor.
Unexpectedly, at the end of the palace banquet, Emperor Wen De called Liu Zhao to speak alone.
For a time, everyone's eyes became complicated again.
Is this falling out of favor, or is the favor still?
"Sister-in-law not waiting for your majesty?"
Xiao Qin'er walked to Gu Jiu and asked casually.
Gu Jiu laughed, "Since the Fourth Hall went down to Weiyang Palace, the four younger siblings didn't wait for the Fourth Royal Highness."
Xiao Qin'er smiled and said: "The queen asks her son to speak, and I will not join in the fun as a daughter-in-law. I have to go to Xiao Zhaoyi's to see."
Gu Jiu said hurriedly: "Congratulations to Xiao Zhaoyi for me, she is pregnant, it's gratifying and congratulating."
Xiao Qin'er's face was instantly embarrassed, "Sister-in-law, go slowly."
"Four younger siblings, don't be tired."
Xiao Qin'er resigned from Gu Jiu and went to see Xiao Zhaoyi.
When the two sisters met, the atmosphere was not harmonious.
Xiao Qin'er stared at Xiao Zhaoyi's belly, "Really pregnant?"
Xiao Zhaoyi's posture is graceful, and her expression is calm, "Naturally it is true, this matter can be false. Sister, don't laugh."
Xiao Qin'er felt uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly, "You have adapted well. I have to call you Zhaoyi Empress now."
Xiao Zhaoyi pursed her lips and smiled, "We are still sisters. When there are no outsiders, we are still worthy of sisters. Does my sister want to share with me?"
"How dare you!"
Xiao Zhaoyi waved to her, "Sister, come and sit down."
Xiao Qin'er hesitated for a while before walking over.
Xiao Zhaoyi took her hand and said, "I know what my sister is thinking. Before entering the palace, my sister was ill and did not have the opportunity to talk to her sister. I have time today, and I don't talk about some things. I don't have to worry about the elders in the family, I am Enter the palace voluntarily, no one is forced. The road to enter the palace suits me."
Xiao Qin'er frowned, "What the do you think? Your Majesty, why did you think of entering the palace? You know that I'm married to the Fourth Royal Highness, so why do you enter the palace?"
"Our sisters have different opinions. My sister doesn't have to worry about generations. As for entering the palace, what can I think about it? Isn't it just sowing wealth."
Xiao Qin'er was full of disapproval, "Based on the family background of the Xiao family, it is not easy for you to be rich. There is no need to enter the palace."
Xiao Zhaoyi laughed, "Sister, is there anything more wealthy than the palace in this world?"
Xiao Qin'er frowned and stared at Xiao Zhaoyi warily.
Xiao Zhaoyi snorted and laughed, "Sister, don't worry about me. In my stomach, maybe a princess. I just want to be rich for a lifetime, and I don't dare to think about it."
Xiao Qin'er looked at her belly and then at her face, "Since childhood, you seem to be weak, but you are actually bigger than anyone else. I believe you are willing to enter the palace and accompany your Majesty. But I have to tell You, don't want to fight with the Four Highnesses. He is the son. And you give birth, regardless of whether it is a male or a female. It is a concubine. Don't forget the fate of the concubine Li De next to the Emperor."
Xiao Zhaoyi didn't change her face, and said softly: "My sister hasn't changed at all over the years. If she doesn't agree, she will scare people fiercely. Okay, well, I said I have no extra ideas, just want to be rich. ."
Xiao Qin'er's heart was still hanging in the air, unable to fall.
She took a deep breath and said: "We are sisters and we are in the royal family. We should support each other. I hope my sister will not forget her surname."
Xiao Zhaoyi smiled and said: "Naturally I dare not forget. Did my sister forget?"
"Of course I didn't forget." Xiao Qin'er was unhappy.
Xiao Zhaoyi pursed her lips and smiled, "Looking at my sister's nervousness, I just asked in passing. My sister and the fourth majesty's childhood sweethearts, two little children, gave birth to a son and a daughter, you will definitely be able to live together, and envy others."
Xiao Qin'er's expression softened a bit, "Thanks to your good words, my Highness and I are very good."
"I really envy my sister." Xiao Zhaoyi pursed her lips and smiled, but when she lowered her head, there was a cold flash in her eyes.
Seeing that it was too late, Xiao Qin'er got up and said goodbye.
Xiao Zhaoyi sat still and said, "I am now in two bodies and have physical inconvenience. I will not send my sister out. My sister walks slowly."
She watched Xiao Qin'er leave with a smile on her face.
She pretended to inadvertently asked: "Why is the Fourth Royal Highness not with her sister? Did you leave the palace first?"
"Qizi Niangniang, the fourth highness went to Weiyang Palace after eating the palace banquet."
"The Fourth Hall went to Weiyang Palace, why didn't you bring your sister? It's really strange." Xiao Zhaoyi asked innocently.
The palace man whispered: "Perhaps the empress has a private conversation with Her Royal Highness, she doesn't want others to hear her."
Xiao Zhaoyi sighed when he heard the words, "I really feel wronged for my elder sister. After marrying the Fourth Highness for so many years, how much hardship I have suffered, and I will leave the palace alone on the night of New Year's Eve. There are also a group of concubines and concubines. Waiting to disgust her."
The palace official said: "Everyone has their own fate. Zhaoyi is now in two bodies, so don't be tired. Don't worry about Mrs. Discuss."
"You're right, even if my palace is worried, it can't help. I just hope that my sister will have a birthday in a few days, and the four highnesses can respect her twice."
After speaking, Xiao Zhaoyi closed his eyes and calmed down. There was anger in my heart, and joy at the other, it was really the two heavens of ice and fire.
Liu Yi, the fourth highness in her mouth, was still speaking in Weiyang Palace.
Empress Pei lay crookedly on the Luohan couch, in a bad mood.
"Queen don't worry about big brother, he will be fine."
Queen Pei snorted and said dissatisfied: "Your eldest brother has been unpleasant since he was a child. You have also seen the palace banquet today. Your majesty deliberately cold your eldest brother. My palace guessed that your eldest brother had done something secretly. The matter angered your father."
Liu Yi was surprised, "No way. Can the eldest brother still carry on his father's back and secretly work outside?"
Queen Pei sneered and said: "He has nothing to dare to do. When he was in the palace, he didn't do similar things less, all carrying the palace on his back. This time, if he really messes outside, the palace will not help. he."
"If the mother does not help the eldest brother, who else can help the eldest brother?" Liu Yi was very worried.
Queen Pei stared at him, her eyes inquiring.
Liu Yi was puzzled, "Does the queen have any questions?"
Queen Pei asked: "Fourth, my palace asks you, you must tell the truth with this palace."
"Mother, please." Liu Yi's expression also began to become solemn.
Queen Pei asked: "Do you really hope that your eldest brother will be good, or just behave and have a good impression? You can answer after you think about it. If you lie, this palace can see through it at a glance."
The cold sweat on Liu Yi's body came out with just one brush.
What does the queen mean when she asks this question?
He lowered his head, his eyes turned wildly, speculation in his heart.
One will be left, one will be right. It's the truth for a while, and for a while I think about coaxing the past.
Queen Pei reminded him again, "Answer well, this question is related to your future."
Liu Yi licked his lips, his lips became dry, and even his throat felt dry, as if his throat would smoke when he spoke.
"Does the queen want to hear the truth?"
"It depends on whether you are sincere. If you are sincere, you can listen to falsehoods. Without sincerity, the truth can be heard as falsehoods."
There was something in the words of Queen Pei, which clearly reminded Liu Yi that he didn't want to get through.
Liu agreed to settle down and said, "The son is the prince, and even the son. Standing in the position of the son, the son also wants to fight. But the prince is more than me, everyone has an ambition. The son can accept standing as the eldest brother. Behind you, we will fight together to defeat our common enemy, and then we will come to divide the competition."
This answer is a perfect score.
There is truth, sincerity, and two points of whitewashing.
Empress Pei nodded her head, she couldn't tell her dissatisfaction.
She asked: "So, would you like to look at your big brother?"
Liu Yicang said loudly: = "At this stage, the eldest brother is good, it is me. You can never make others proud."
Queen Pei laughed, "You are very good, you have a big picture. Did you know that your sister-in-law offered high-yield sweet potatoes, and your father was very satisfied. It is said that sweet potatoes can yield 800 kilograms per mu, and I believe that your sister-in-law dare not take this. This kind of thing is joking. She said that if you have eight hundred catties, you can reach eight hundred catties. Do you know what this means?"
Liu Yi looked excited, "It means that the world is peaceful."
Empress Pei smiled, "It means that the imperial power is consolidated. Your father has been on the throne for two years. He has never started a war, he has never promoted Xing prison, and he has not arbitrarily replaced officials in the DPRK. Why?
It's because your father's imperial power is not strong enough. The harem was opened widely to consolidate the imperial power. If high-yield sweet potatoes can be promoted throughout the world, then there will be no famine in the world.
Your father is Shengshi Mingjun, and he has the support of the people all over the world. By then, what your father will do, even if the courtiers object, he will be able to overcome resistance and go his own way, so as to be truly arbitrary. Tell me, is this credit your sister-in-law made big enough? "
Liu Yi's complexion was flushed first, and he was too excited. At the end of hearing, his face turned pale.
"The eldest brother has the help of his sister-in-law. Isn't the position of the East Palace like taking something from a bag?
Queen Pei smiled, "Yes! Your eldest brother is not a prince, but he is better than a prince. It's all because he has a capable and good wife."
Liu Yi looked surprised, "Why did the mother say this to her son?"
Queen Pei solemnly said: "Naturally, it is to call you. You are fighting with your elder brother now, you are doomed to fight, do you understand?"
Liu Yi was unwilling deep in his heart.
Queen Pei knew what he was thinking, "You are not reconciled and useless, the truth is. Since childhood, you have been the most beloved child in this palace, and this palace has always been looking forward to you. If you want that position, this palace is also willing Help you. Then, listen to this sentence from this palace, and don’t fight with your elder brother in the next few years. Don’t fight is fight, remember this sentence."
Liu Yi struggled, contradicted, and finally relieved.
"Thank you mother for her teaching, my son understands."
"You must really understand, don't perfuse my palace. You must remember that my palace will not harm you. My palace values ​​you more than your unflattering elder brother."
Liu Yi looked excited, "How dare my son live up to the expectations of his mother?"
Queen Pei smiled with satisfaction, "Stand quietly behind your eldest brother, let him overcome all obstacles and clear all obstacles for you. In the end, everything has me."
Liu Yi was so excited that his body was shaking.
"Queen!"
After this initial consonant, it was full of intense feelings and strong mood swings.
Queen Pei laughed, "Okay, something is so exciting, what's it like. When I go back, I will live with Xiao Qin'er and remind her not to be hateful all day long."
"Son understands."
Empress Pei exhorted Liu Yi a few more words before sending him away.
The servant Wenzhong, who is now promoted to the junior supervisor, will naturally be by the side of Queen Pei on the 30th day of the new year.
Shao Jian Wen said: "I hope that His Royal Highness can appreciate the painstaking efforts of the empress. The only thing that the old slave is worried about is His Royal Highness. What if the Lord hates her?"
Queen Pei snorted, "The boss has been a bull-tempered since he was a child. When he was in the palace, he refused to listen to this palace. Now it has become even worse. If he gets the throne, tell me, is there a way to survive in this palace? It’s not that my palace is not merciful, because he is not filial. As long as he is willing to obey my palace, my palace will naturally support him.

"The lady is also broken."
Empress Pei sighed, "This palace is not doing this for the sake of the family. The boss has a big temper and is ruthless. If he gets that position, I don't know how many people will move their heads and how many people will die.
The fourth child is different, the fourth child is soft-hearted and filial, he will listen to the palace. That Xiao Qin'er is just a fool. With a few tricks from my palace, she can be judged. "
In the final analysis, Liu Zhao and Gu Jiu are not easy to handle, each of them has a bigger temper, and each has a more upright mind.
On the contrary, Liu Yi and Xiao Qin'er are good couples.
As a leader, you don’t need subordinates who are smarter than yourself, but only like subordinates who are easy to handle.
