"Oh, you say this palace choose Wei wash horse for Qing Xin's extra horse harnessed by the side of a team is not proper?" In a separate audience, although Empress Gu and appeared in the Grand Ceremony as well as carefully dressed up, looked up under the courtyard, still color like a spring flower, gorgeous, but a closer look will find the Empress in the end is old!

That the corners of the eyes and eyebrows of the old style but how can not hide especially that pair of surplus as autumn water, good look good, the first time I saw let Wei Chang Ying are envious of the eyes, seems to be also from the autumn water into the winter water, by what is frozen, can not flow flow, through the gray brooding.

But the Queen's majesty is still the same, so faintly asked, the entire Changle Hall in the quiet can be heard pin.

But Wei Changying is not the shy and timid bride she was when she was first married, and this time she is certainly alone, so she still said, "My wife does think so."

The Empress lazily said, "How is it that your uncle doesn't see this Palace's Qing Xin, so he sent you to be a lobbyist?"

"Your Highness is joking, who doesn't know that my wife's sixth uncle was coerced by the rebel army after the destruction of Yanzhou city, and his whereabouts are still unknown? Although I am concerned about my uncle, I have no news of him. If anything were to happen to him, wouldn't it be a mistake for Your Highness?" Wei Changying softly said, "How can Wei bear such a responsibility!"

Empress Gu was silent for a long time, waved off her left and right, and leaned in slightly, "Then what do you think this palace has to do to be good to Qing Xin?"

"What the Empress is concerned about, my wife knows a little about." Wei Changying knew that the Empress didn't want to talk any more nonsense, so she didn't bother to continue to speak in a superficial manner, and said bluntly, "Your Highness has a beautiful face, which can be said to have been blessed by the spirit of heaven and earth. Nay now the world is not peaceful, no wonder now not yet reached maturity, the Queen will be looking for its extra horse harnessed by the side of a team. But has Your Highness ever thought of, Your Highness, such a beautiful face, is the same as a woman to see, also want to be moved, let alone a man? My wife's sixth uncle is certainly a valve reading children, and some of the city, but after all, but a scholar, in the future situation, really can protect your highness?"

"Then do you have a better candidate to recommend to this palace?" Empress Gu glanced at her, "Or are you suggesting that this Palace choose Qing Xin's son-in-law from the Liu, Su, and Shen families?"

Wei Changying shook her head and said, "I don't dare to say anything about the emperor's son-in-law."

A hint of hidden disappointment appeared in Empress Gu's eyes, "Then did you come to see this palace just to resign the matter of Shang Lord for Wei Zhenma?"

"What Your Highness is worried about now is that in case there is a change in the future, Her Highness is young and has no one to protect her." Wei Chang Ying slowly said, "But in reality, wouldn't Her Highness Princess An Ji also have no one to protect her since she was young?"

Empress Gu was stunned, first revealing a look of extreme anger but then hiding it, she coldly said, "If Qing Xin has the same shrewdness as An Ji, why would this palace have to worry so much about her? Furthermore, is Anji not as beautiful as Qing Xin?"

Although Princess Anji is also considered a beauty, but also is like a flower like jade that kind of, than Wei Changying still inferior a few points. The fact is that the government has not been able to find any women with this kind of appearance, but it is not difficult to find a group of women from big families, and they are still far away from being convicted for the crime of using color. But Princess Qingxin, as Wei Changying said, is a beautiful woman, and there are only a handful of such beautiful women in the country, so how can she not be coveted by everyone?

Wei Changying said with a faint smile, "Although Princess Anji is shrewd, why didn't she avoid her homeland back then?"

"Then where do you think it would be prudent for this palace to hide Qing Xin?" Empress Gu asked with a cold smile, "There is no place that is not the king's land under the sky ...... Even though the world is on fire now, with Qing Xin's posture, isn't it even more dangerous to be away from the royal family's shelter?"

"Please, Mother, allow my wife to say something disrespectful."

"...... you said!"

Wei Changying got up and gave a salute, then said with a straight face, "Although the Hongzhou Gu Clan is only a family, but the campsite is far away in Jiangnan, and so far we have not heard of any civil unrest, so it can be said that it is the realm of the peaches and daughters, isn't it?"

Empress Gu raised an eyebrow, "Are you saying that you want this Palace to entrust Qing Xin to the Gu Clan's Honzon?!"

"Compared to other families, there is after all a nephew-uncle relationship." Wei Changying calmly said, "Not to mention that it's also the mother's family of the Empress and Commander Gu."

...... After Wei Chang Ying excused herself, Empress Gu thought for a long time before calling in An to confer, "What do you think of this Wei's idea?"

An was worried, "Your Highness, allow the maidservant to say a word of great disrespect, how the Hongzhou Gu Clan is only a lineage!"

"But Wei has a point, although Valve Read is good, he may not be sincere to Qing Xin." A self-deprecating smile appeared on Empress Gu's lips as she said, "Alas, in fact, would Gu be sure to be sincere to Qing Xin? When this palace is around, there might still be some affection. But if this palace is no longer here, eight out of ten . Nine of them will still be gone?"

An carefully said, "Your Highness don't say such things, perhaps the heavens have blessed you and your Highness has always been at peace?"

"If it were a decade or two ago, what about the chaotic times?" Empress Gu shook her head and said, "Nowadays, this palace is already aging, and its energy is not what it used to be. Moreover, the luck is not on the side of this palace anymore, isn't it? Otherwise, how could Xun Er lose the crown prince position, causing us mother and daughter to fall into Shen Bo's hands before the country dies? The Palace is now not counting on anything, with the Palace since the years of those sins, fall into a miserable end but also fair. Seek the son of that evil, the palace life blood for him to pave a beautiful road, he will only spoil, I really do not know if he is the palace in the previous life of the enemy, this life specifically over with the palace against it? This sinful obstacle has always been ungrateful, even if the Palace has arranged a way out for him, I think he will not do it. Might as well save the effort to pain Qing Xin ......"

The Empress sighed, frankly speaking, she is now also open otherwise Wei Changying mentioned today that the kingdom of Wei will not be long, the Empress will not listen to it, no taboo now the saint can't count on, the son can't count on, and the scholar clan has already begun to her that The court has already started to take action against Gu Xiaoder, her dead-eyed brother, and Shen Xuan has even given up his pearl, so even if Gu Xiaoder kills his son and avoids this time, how many more times will he be able to avoid a similar plan of disassociation?

Once the Imperial Guard passes this hurdle, the ascension of Crown Prince Shen Bo to the throne is unstoppable.

The Empress had already made preparations to repay Zhou Baolin's blood debt after Shen Bo succeeded to the throne, and the only thing she could still count on now was Princess Qing Xin's backstory.

At this moment, she put down all her senses and emotions, and carefully calculated Wei Changying's suggestion, "Speaking of which, there is one good thing about entrusting Qingxin to the Gu family, and that is that the Gu family is the mother family of this palace, no matter whether it is Shen Bo who ascends to the throne, or if it is the establishment of a new dynasty in the future....... In a word, if it is necessary to ostracize them for this reason, there is no More Qing Xin one. In this regard, it is better than other families."

An mouthed, "What if the Gu family hands over His Highness?"

"Qing Xin is a woman, if she wasn't claimed by someone, what would the Gu family hand her out for?" A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Empress Gu's mouth as she said, "Aside from Shen Bo and Deng who might want to take it out on her, if anyone else asked the Gu family for her, it would most likely be because of her beauty. In that case, it may not be all bad. If she marries one of the Gu family's children, once she is no longer under our protection, won't she still rely on her beauty to get by? The ones who could make the Gu family hand her over were also powerful people at the time. And the Gu family is also a scholarly family, if Qing Xin marries in Jiangnan, the Imperial Capital side will not agree to it without paying a certain price, and the Gu family will not agree to it for the sake of decency."

An comforted, "Your Highness's beauty is beyond anyone's reach. I think that in the future, no matter what kind of person you meet, you will always have a few moments of pity."

"Do you notice that when Wei mentioned Qing Xin's beauty just now, she used the phrase 'pouring the country into the city' to describe it?" Empress Gu sighed, "This word was originally used by Li Yannian to praise his sister, Lady Li, who came from a humble background and was favored due to her beauty, and even the entire Li family was proud to walk in front of the crowd, full of riches. But Mrs. Li also died early when she died, even though she refused to meet with Emperor Wu of Han because of her 'colorful service to others, colorful decline and love', but only prolonged a few years of wealth and prosperity only. Later, the Li clan was put to death twice ...... Wei this is said to be Qing Xin, in fact, how is not for this Palace to hear?"

"Think of this palace origin than Mrs. Li although I do not know how much higher, but that year from the six palaces in the powder to kill on this phoenix position, although rely on the city and heaven's mercy, and why is not relying on this set of looks?" Empress Gu wearily said, "Mrs. Li died before the exhaustion of means, but also difficult to ensure that the Li family prosperity for a long time. This Palace is now exhausting efforts, thinking, but also can not be helped, all depends on the will of God ah!"

An was stunned for a moment, then hated, "This Wei is so mean!"

"She is not mean, is reminding the Palace the Palace is now with that Mrs. Li general, Mrs. Li deeply imperial encounter, but why the red face of early death, can be said that the time is also destiny; the Palace, you see, children, motherhood, the world's women's lifelong request, the Palace is early to take in the hands of the. Even so, the palace also remembered not to be complacent, after acting for the queen, which is not careful? Originally thought of a dowager how can not run away but do not want to be careful again this Palace is no use, the rebellious son is not good to lose his position, now the saint is also confused through the top, the enemy is about to gain power ...... Qingxin, although it is still obedient, but it is too simple a little bit. " The Empress smiled and said, "You say, this is not fate and what is it?"

The Empress said in a low voice, ''This Palace looks honorable now, but in reality, it really has no qualifications to make conditions with these clans of scholars. They can't help Qing Xin, can't they fall down a well and kill the children and grandchildren of this palace? Let go of the matter of Yan child, the Shen family also lost a Shen Zang Ning only, I Gu family but not only to lose Yan child this quite talented children, but also on the Shen family's hate ...... you say this is why bother? Taifu is heartache daughter, care is chaotic, so will consider on behalf of the Palace to Wei Xin Yong proposed marriage thing, this Wei in the end is only Shen Zang Ning's sister-in-law, she is calm very much. Now that she's put her words out there almost understandably--what else can this palace do?"

An pursed her lips, "Then ...... Niangniang?"

"These people's reliable, are unable to say. You listen to this palace ......" Empress Gu rubbed her forehead, her eyes were hollow, but her mind was spinning, and she explained the idea that came to her mind just now to An in a nutshell ......
