There was silence in the imperial study room for a while. It seemed that her father was looking through the account books.
Li Sixu could neither advance nor retreat for a moment, and then heard Concubine Xian's aggrieved voice again.
"Your Majesty, I am too stupid to be useful. The power to control the Sixth Palace should not be handed over to me. I just took over the affairs of the harem and something went wrong. I beg the Emperor to deprive me of the power of the Sixth Palace." power."
"Your Majesty also knows that I, my concubine, have no ambitions. She just likes to make food for Wei'er and our tenth princess so that they can live a stable life."
I don’t care about the power of managing the Sixth House!
First clear your grievances, and then beg to resign from the power of ruling the Sixth House.
Using retreat to advance, her father was silenced.
Just as Li Sixu praised Concubine Xian for her greatness, Xuanzong's angry voice came: "Concubine Xian, are you threatening me?"
"No!"
Concubine Xian was even more aggrieved: "Whether you are the empress or concubine Shu, each of them is more capable than me. I can only cook food, but now the emperor has ordered me to take care of the Sixth Palace. I am afraid that I can't do it well. I can’t share the emperor’s worries.”
When Concubine Xian mentioned the queen, Li Sixu's eyes lit up, and she finally knew what Concubine Xian was trying to do by making trouble in the palace and deducting the food and clothing expenses of the concubines.
After all, Concubine Xian came to Ganlu Palace that day and said she wanted to find out what her father was saying.
When the concubine Xian mentioned the queen, Xuanzong became furious: "Have you been wronged by asking you to take care of the Sixth Palace?"
"If you can, go to the cold palace and invite the queen to take charge of the Sixth Palace for me."
Her father was so angry that Concubine Xian even knelt down to receive the order to thank her. Li Sixu was afraid that Xuanzong would twist off Concubine Liu Xian's head, so she called her father through the screen and simply took the basket of fruits from Liu Yunying's hand, saying, "Hey!" Moved into the imperial study room.
"Father, this is the fresh fruit that Sisi and the prince picked for you at the manor."
"The grapes are so sweet, and the pears are watery. They are the best for clearing coughs and moisturizing the lungs. There are also early-ripening pomegranates. Let Father try them all."
Li Sixu's little mouth boasted about the fruits she brought from the manor, and brought them to Xuanzong one by one.
Seeing Xuanzong laughing angrily, she said hurriedly: "Oh, my father is busy with government affairs, so Sisi will take away the person who made his father angry first."
After saying that, before Xuanzong could react, he pulled the kneeling Concubine Xian out of the imperial study.
After walking out of the Xingqing Palace, Li Sixu let out a deep breath: "I'm scared to death. Your Majesty is plucking hair from a tiger's mouth. You don't have to do this to test your father."
"Anyway, if I don't annoy him, he won't use me as a treasure. Liu Cairen's little heart came to him and accused me of embezzling the food and clothing of the harem and concubines, so he believed it and didn't want to be angry with him. , Aren’t I going to suffer for nothing?”
Concubine Liu Xian told Li Sixu: "Concubine Shu is unwilling to lose the power to control the Sixth Palace. She is taking advantage of the fact that I have not completely taken over the affairs of the harem, and is deliberately stumbling in secret!"
"Huh, but she doesn't know that I have already made up my mind, and the evidence has been presented to your father one by one, so that she can't bear to walk away."
She wanted to completely control the affairs of the Sixth Palace, so she must use the things that Concubine Shu had committed before to give her a powerful blow so that she would not dare to act rashly again.
In order to avoid being constrained next, Concubine Shu secretly made small moves to disgust her from time to time.
It was true that she was angry with the emperor, but her purpose of coming to Xingqing Hall was also achieved.
Concubine Xian pulled Li Sixu with a somewhat proud look on her face: "As the emperor, you keep your word. This is what your father said himself. You want me to go to the cold palace and ask the queen to take care of the sixth palace. I won't win your father's favor." Amnesty, from now on, like you, I can run to the cold palace without any problems."
Li Sixu couldn't help but praise the wise concubine for being so clever and giving her father a step down.
"Well, Sisi brought some fresh fruits from the village and was about to send them to the cold palace to give to the queen mother. Does Concubine Xian want to go to the cold palace to persuade the queen mother?"
Concubine Xian beamed: "Come on, let's go to the cold palace to give the queen a fresh fruit..."
In the imperial study room, Xuanzong looked at a table of fresh fruits and melons. The person who brought the fruits and melons came and went like a gust of wind and ran away. He was a little dumbfounded.
"It slipped away too quickly!"
Xuanzong snorted coldly: "He must have gone to the cold palace to deliver fresh fruits to the queen."
This person's tone has been sour recently, because the little princess doesn't come to Xingqing Hall very often and feels a little disappointed.
Yang Sixu had no intention of answering at first, but Xuanzong took a look at him and had to speak: "After returning from the villa on the outskirts of Beijing, the princess went to the Xingqing Palace. After delivering melons and fruits to the emperor, she went to the other empresses. , it can be seen that in the princess’s heart, the emperor comes first.”
Xuanzong felt much better now. Looking at the table full of fruits and melons, he felt that Yang Sixu's words were very reasonable.
He handed a fresh pomegranate to Yang Sixu and asked him, "What do you think of Concubine Xian's move?"
The little princess just carried a basket of fruits into the royal study and winked at him, implying that he also had a share in the fruits he gave to the emperor.
Pomegranate Yang Sixu accepted it, but did not dare to discuss the rights and wrongs of Concubine Liu Xian.
He didn't speak, but Xuanzong said directly: "Concubine Xian's move of retreating in order to advance is telling me that she did not have any thoughts that she shouldn't have because she gained the power to control the Sixth Palace. Speaking of which, she is different from Concubine Shu. "
"If anyone else had the power to control the Sixth Palace in her hands, she would have thoughts that she shouldn't have, thinking about making plans for the prince she gave birth to, but the Concubine Xian did not, and she was still thinking about the Queen who was in the cold palace. This is why I value her so much that I took the power from Concubine Shu and temporarily handed it over to her."
"Although the empress was wronged when she was involved in the matter of the Weaning Technique, it is true that Wang Shouyi asked the Ming Priest Nan Beiduxing to carve my name on it. If I don't punish her severely, people with ulterior motives may imitate me, putting my safety at risk. ?”
Xuanzong asked Yang Sixu: "I am willing to give in. Is she willing to come out of the cold palace?"
Ever since Xuanzong ordered the wise concubines to go to the cold palace to persuade the empress, he would always look through the window at the little yellow flower growing in the garden outside the house when he returned to Xingqing Palace.
The weather was getting colder, but Yang Sixu, who knew the emperor's thoughts well, would still leave a gap in the window.
That little yellow flower was carefully taken care of by a special little eunuch. After the flowers faded, the leaves gradually lost their former green color. That day, when the little eunuch went to water the flowers, he accidentally knocked down many leaves.
After Xuanzong went to court, he saw that the medicinal plant in the flower garden had lost many leaves, leaving only the top few compound leaves, and his face was filled with gloom.
"Why did the medicinal materials I planted become like this?"
The little eunuch who knelt down was trembling with fear and said that there was insufficient fertilizer and he wanted to move the pot.
As a result, when I moved the plant out of the flower bed, I suddenly saw a familiar knot hanging on the root system.
Yang Sixu pulled off a piece, pulled out the soil on it and handed it to Xuanzong. Xuanzong peeled off the uneven shell, and inside lay a layer of red-skinned and fat fruit flesh.
