Chapter 61: Yin Bird Factory Male 01

In early spring, the peach blossoms in the imperial garden were blooming, and the breeze engulfed the petals and fell on the palace steps not far away.
In the Chang'an Palace, Jiang Rui was sitting in front of the mirror, and the maid groomed her.
The woman in the mirror is about 30 years old, with a dignified appearance and a gentle expression. She is not young anymore. She has been married for more than ten years and cannot be compared with those delicate young girls. But if you are a widow at this age, then no matter who it is, I am afraid you will have to sigh, "Poor Yo, young age..."
Jiang Rui’s identity in this world is the empress dowager of the dynasty, thanks to his parents and daughters, who has been in the palace for many years and has nothing to do. He held a prince who died young and was raised under his knees. It was the little emperor sitting on the dragon chair. Not one's own person, but the affection is not shallower than one's own.
Nowadays, the is in charge of the court, the government is in the hands of the Lu Xingzhou, and the emperor is just a puppet.
A few days ago, the queen mother’s father, Xie Dazhi, entered the palace with the intention of planning with her to eradicate the castration party, in order to revitalize the court, but he did not expect that Lu Xingzhou’s power had penetrated here. Even the queen mother’s palace had his people, although that name The little servant did not hear the details, but the Queen Mother Xie was really frightened. She suffered a serious illness. During the illness, she suspected that she was surrounded by eyeliners sent by Lu Xingzhou all day, lest she would be killed sooner or later. Frightened myself to death.
Jiang Rui got her body as a condition to satisfy her wish. Queen Mother Xie originally asked to kill Lu Xingzhou, but Jiang Rui naturally couldn't agree, because Lu Xingzhou was her target this time. The queen mother had to step back and ask Jiang Rui to save the life and throne of the little emperor.
There was a little noise outside the hall, and after a while, the close-fitting female officer next to the Queen Mother, with smoke attached to her ear, whispered: "Manny, someone from the Chongzheng Hall is passing by, your Majesty is crying.
Two thin eyebrows frowned in the mirror, and his dignified face immediately became a little more worried and distressed, "Do you know why?"
"Yes, it was your Majesty who took a nap early in the morning, and was just seen by Grandpa Lu..."
Needless to say, Jiang Rui also understood that Lu Xingzhou's methods could frighten Queen Mother Xie, let alone the five or six-year-old emperor.
She sighed softly, "Let the small kitchen prepare yam lotus soup. I feel more comfortable today after being sick. I just went out and went to see your Majesty."
The empress dowager stopped in front of Chongzheng Hall, Jiang Rui helped Hanyan's subordinates. The maidservants met her and saluted.
"The Empress Dowager is here!"
Before stepping into the hall, I heard choking, and my voice became a little dumb. I wanted to cry for a long time.
Probably after hearing the news, the individual stumbled out of the temple and plunged into Jiang Rui's arms, "Mother Queen! Uuu..."
Jiang Rui recovered from a serious illness, and he was relieved a lot. He took such a pounce and took two steps back. Fortunately, the people who followed him held him back.
The little emperor didn't notice, he just buried his face in her arms and cried more loudly, just like an ordinary child sees a backer after being wronged.
But he didn't know that his mother and queen could not protect herself.
Empress Dowager Xie had been looking forward to her child for many years, and gradually died of her heart. She only regarded the child she was holding as her own flesh and blood, and she was so pampered with love, so that although the little emperor was born in the royal family If you feel unsatisfactory, you will cry endlessly, far less sensible than the first few princes.
However, perhaps this is the reason why he was finally able to be supported by Lu Xingzhou to the throne. A brainless puppet is easier to manipulate than a determined puppet.
Jiang Rui wiped his tears with a kerchief in one hand, and patted his back gently with the other hand, "Stop crying, what should I do if my throat breaks? The queen brought your favorite yam lotus soup, which is still hot."
The little emperor choked, lifted his head from her arms, and secretly looked at the other person in the hall.
There are a total of two case tables in the hall. One is at the top, used by the emperor, and the other is on the left. The case is full of memorials. At this time, there is a person sitting behind the table, it is Lu Xingzhou.
Jiang Rui followed the little emperor's sight and looked over.
This great eunuch, who controls countless lives and killings, was unexpectedly young. He looked similar to Queen Mother Xie. His appearance was not hideous and terrifying from outsiders. On the contrary, he had long eyebrows and narrow eyes, because his skin was paler than ordinary people. It looks a bit weak.
Just now the little emperor cried so pitifully, but as a courtier, he sat still, and even a little bit happy. Now he knew that he was too late, but he didn't say anything. Until now, Jiang Rui's gaze fell over and he put down his hands. The memorial, with a faint look: "Greetingly welcome the empress dowager."
So disrespectful, the Queen Mother Xie did not dare to object, the little emperor did not dare to object, and the maidservant who bowed her head nearby did not dare to object.
Jiang Rui pressed his lips, squeezed the little emperor's hand, barely maintained the calm and decent face, and nodded slightly. It seemed that it wasn't that she didn't dare to point out his unreasonableness, but that she didn't want to lose her identity and care about him.
She took the little emperor into the inner hall and asked the maid to fetch water to wash his face. After that, she hugged the person on her knees and sighed, "Your Majesty must be more sensible."
"Huh?" The little emperor swallowed the lotus soup fed by the court lady, tilting his head and wondering: "What did the mother say?"
Jiang Rui wiped his mouth: "I said your Majesty should grow up. You can't always cry."
"But..." The little emperor sniffed, as if he wanted to cry again, "Grandpa Lu looked terrible."
"He beat and scolded you?" Jiang Rui asked.
The little emperor shook his head, "No, but he hit Xiao Xizi's board, Xiao Xizi screamed so poorly."
"I already know about this. Xiao Xizi, as your majesty's personal servant, didn't persuade your majesty to go to bed earlier at night, but instead encourages you to play around. This is a punishment."
The little emperor lowered his head and sniffed, afraid to speak.
Jiang Rui touched his head and said, "No matter how fierce Lu is, your Majesty, as the king of a country, can neither beat you nor scold you, but punish people around you at most to show punishment. When you see them being beaten, you should restrain yourself and don't let people pick the wrong place."
"Mother Queen." The little emperor pulled her sleeves, "I don't want to be the emperor, it's meaningless at all. Let's say to Grandpa Lu, let someone else be the emperor, okay?"
He at least knew who had the final say about being the emperor.
Jiang Rui hugged him and said, "But Grandpa Lu has already said that among so many princes, only my prince is the most clever and smart, and no one else can."
"Okay." The little emperor narrowed his mouth.
He cried and consumed a lot of energy before falling asleep in Jiang Rui's arms.
Jiang Rui asked the maid to guard him and went to the outer hall by himself.
"You all go down, I have a few words to talk to Grandpa Lu alone." She said.
The attendants in the temple did not leave immediately, until they saw Lu Xingzhou nodding, they did not retreat.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Rui couldn't help thinking in his heart, it's no wonder that Queen Mother Xie was frightened to death by her own ideas. In this palace, Lu Xingzhou had indeed covered the sky with one hand.
Is Lu Xingzhou aware of Xie's plan? Jiang Rui felt that he should have known it. He might even know why Queen Mother Xie fell ill.
But he didn’t do anything. It was like a sword hanging on a person's head, knowing that it had been hanging above, but he was sluggish to fall. It made people worry all day, panic, and even despair, and finally lost one. Life.
And he was watching from beginning to end.
"I don't know what's the matter with the mother?" Lu Xingzhou said, his eyes fell on her.
Jiang Rui straightened her back immediately. Empress Dowager Xie's original frame was small, and she became even thinner after an illness. She almost couldn't support the phoenix robe on her body, but she still tried her best to bring out the grace and luxury that belonged to the empress dowager from top to bottom. When you look down on people, you feel more elevated.
Lu Xingzhou saw the bluff from it.
These people call themselves royal nobles, phoenix sons and grandchildren, who have always been superior, and don't see ordinary people in their eyes, but now in front of him, they are not like paper tigers, trembling and panic all day long?
The more noble people are, the more satisfied the onlookers are when they fall from the altar.
He almost watched all this with some pleasure.
