Cao An felt cold all over at this moment.
No wonder Shang Chao Qian...
Lao Fan Qian warned and urged not to let him get involved in Zhang Zhibai's affairs! Even though he knew that Lao Zhang would be attacked, he still refused to let him take the lead.
Now that I think about it, it's all just fear.
If Cao Anzhen had fueled his anger on Lao Zhang during the meeting just now because he was a villain, then Lu Yijian was not the only one who was being whipped at this moment.
"Where's Yan Shu? Is he willing?"
Liu E looked at Zhao Zhen with a half-smile, but there was a bit of complexity in her eyes.
Lu Yijian was also staring at him, his eyes a little annoyed...
Zhao Zhen couldn't understand these looks.
He was already excited now, feeling that he had encountered a God-given opportunity.
"Here comes Master Yan..."
"His Majesty!"
Cao An's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously took a step forward.
"Um?"
Zhao Zhen was a little unhappy: "Does the Cao Qing family have something to say?"
"minister……"
Cao An regretted a little, but had to speak: "I am brave and have something to say."
"you say……"
Zhao Zhen moved his butt impatiently, feeling that Cao An was a brainless person.
What's going on now?
I finally caught an opportunity to strengthen my small power.
But forget it if you don’t help, you still come out to cause trouble...
It’s the King’s Ranking Tournament right now. Can you live comfortably with a Bronze player?
It's a pity that Zhao Zhen forgot...
He just inherited a king account and was far from qualified to play.
"Although Yan Shu has the title of Emperor's Master, his qualifications are still relatively low... At this time, serving as the governor of Jingzhao may attract criticism from the courtiers!"
Cao An sighed inwardly.
If this guy wasn't the emperor, he would want to beat him up right now.
Experts are trying to fight each other, why are you causing so much trouble?
What, do you really feel like you are the king?
Your father doesn't even know how to operate a knife, but you dare to operate it before you practice. Isn't this boring?
"Cao Qing..."
Zhao Zhen's face turned cold, do you know what you are talking about?
Can't you tell who you are with?
Cao An pretended not to see his eyes, and continued: "So I feel... I'm afraid it's inappropriate to let Yan Shu take over the Jingzhao Mansion rashly at this moment!"
"Can……"
Zhao Zhen was anxious and wanted to fight Cao An.
"Your Majesty, I also feel that this matter is inappropriate."
In the end, Wang Zeng stood up and sighed: "Not to mention that Yan Shu was only in his early thirties, this age is really a bit young! Let's talk about Jingzhao Mansion... This place is the old capital of all dynasties, and it is also the most important place in the Song Dynasty. A 'mansion'! It's so easy and unshakable!"
nonsense!
It doesn't matter, why am I so excited?
Zhao Zhen felt that he had been greatly wronged...
This bunch of courtiers, including my mother, all work together to bully people!
Do you really not regard the emperor as a cadre?
"What Wang Qing said is not unreasonable..."
Then Liu E made the final decision: "This matter should be discussed later, please leave!"
The big boss spoke, and everyone could say nothing more.
Lu Yijian was the first to walk out with a cold face.
But the moment he turned around, his eyes paused on Cao An... It was a soft gaze, as if there was a bit of approval.
After all, if Cao An hadn't spoken, today's matter would have been fun.
Zhang Zhibai also looked at him with complicated eyes.
Cao An pretended not to have seen this, and walked out with his head lowered, like a shy primary school student, with a sincere look on his face.
"Cao An will stay here for a moment."
Um?
He stood halfway and looked back at Liu E.
"Let's drive to Yanfu Palace."
Liu E didn't say anything and walked out.
Cao An had no choice but to follow Luan Jia to the harem.
…
Yanfu Palace.
Cao An was waiting at the corner outside the gate.
The waiter came over with a cup of tea and said with a high-pitched smile: "Master Cao, the weather is hot. This is the sour plum soup given by the Queen Mother. Please use it slowly."
"...Here, I would like to thank the Queen Mother for your kindness!"
Cao An was flattered and took the tea cup, and nodded politely to the young chamberlain: "Thank you, chamberlain."
"Master Cao, you're welcome."
The chamberlain also smiled: "Since the Queen Mother took charge of the government, you are the first one to come to Yanfu Palace to see me. Such an honor and favor...you must remember it well."
"Yes, Cao An must not forget this gift from the Queen Mother!"
"The Queen Mother still needs to tidy up her attire, so Master Cao will wait for now. If you need anything, you can talk to me, you're welcome..."
"Don't dare, don't dare. Sorry to trouble you..."
The waiter's attitude was indeed polite.
As people around Liu E, especially today... ordinary courtiers, they really don't like her.
But since Cao An was summoned by Liu E to see him here, it also shows that he is extraordinary. The servants are all good people, so they naturally know how to look at him.
…
Inside the palace.
Liu E is removing makeup.
Now over fifty, she has long lost her beauty.
After taking office, in order to show her royal appearance, she had to dress herself up every day, at least to look energetic, so that she would not be guessed.
"call……"
After removing the last hosta from her bun, Liu E couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Zhao Zhen stood next to her.
The close distance allowed him to clearly see the wrinkles and fatigue on the queen's face.
At this moment, the angry heart gradually calmed down.
He suddenly thought that his mother was not like this back then...
When her father was still alive, she was so beautiful and charming. She was the graceful Empress of the Song Dynasty, and she was the caring mother who raised him for fifteen years.
But why has it changed now?
As the queen mother gets older, her temper becomes more serious...
Even the relationship between mother and son has become slightly cracked because of that supreme power, and it is still expanding.
"Queen mother..."
Zhao Zhen called out subconsciously, and tears wet his eyes.
"What's going on?"
Liu E looked back at her son, feeling a little distressed and said: "Do you think my mother has made it difficult for you today? Don't cry anymore... You are now an official, the emperor of the Song Dynasty!"
"Mother!"
Zhao Zhen finally couldn't bear it anymore and threw himself into Liu E's arms with a cry.
At this moment, he is not an emperor, but a child who has not yet grown up and needs his mother's warm heart.
"This child..."
The words Liu E wanted to reprimand were stuck in her throat, and her eyes were slightly red: "Don't be wronged. If you really want to promote Yan Shu, just look for an opportunity later. But today is not a good time..."
"No, I am not wronged."
Zhao Zhen hugged his mother and refused to let go. He buried his face in his arms and choked with sobs: "After my father left, my mother worked hard for state affairs...Mother, my mother...you are old."
Snap.
The hosta fell to the ground and broke.
Liu E held Zhao Zhen in her arms blankly, as if she had seen that year...
The swaddled baby was so soft and soft. If you teased it gently with your hands, he would smile at you. She still remembered the clear and crisp laughter.
for a long time……
Liu E raised her head and let the air dry the tears in her eyes.
She gently rubbed Zhao Zhen's back and murmured softly: "Son, how can my mother not love you? You were raised by my mother!"
She was not Zhao Zhen's biological mother, but she gave everything to this child.
Fortunately!
Although this child is too gentle, he still has a pure heart.
At least he still knows that he loves his mother...
Then these fifteen years of education were not in vain!
If Cao An was here at this moment.
He must understand why the history books commented on Liu E like that...
Such a woman is destined to be unable to imitate Lu Wu.
Putting aside all factors, she still lacks a cruel heart!
A cruel heart that will do whatever it takes!
