"Enough with beauties!" Kong Fang said in his heart.
But he didn't have the guts.
They say there are three pillars of life, but would you like to take a bath with the emperor and the beautiful woman? After taking this bath, I don’t know if the relationship between the two will be stable. I am afraid that I will never have the chance to take a bath again in this life.
"Your Majesty, I'd better go with Mr. Su, otherwise if the Queen Mother asks about me, it will be difficult for them to tell me." He moved out the Queen Mother, whom he had never met before. The little emperor tilted his head and thought about it as if this was really the case, then gave up and returned to the bathroom surrounded by his maids.
When he went outside, the cold wind was biting, and Kong Fang felt a little regretful.
In the house, it is warm as spring and fragrant.
Outside the house, the cold wind howled and the red wall stood alone.
Two worlds.
"What are you sighing about?" Su Fufeng looked around and asked in a low voice.
Kong Fang shook his head.
It's not that he doesn't want to answer, it's that he doesn't know how to answer.
Su Fufeng looked at Kong Fang and Tang Bolong very seriously, "You must completely forget what you just saw!"
remember!
They both nodded.
Everyone is involved in officialdom, so they still have some emotional intelligence.
The Queen Mother's palace is called Changle Palace.
Changle Palace is located to the west of the imperial city. Although it is not as luxurious as Yangxin Palace, it is more charming. It uses golden nanmu as pillars, glazed tiles, white marble carved railings, and the two golden phoenixes on the eaves, which are elegant. Dignified, with royal majesty and wisdom.
Empress Dowager Wu, the biological mother of Emperor Yingde.
The mother was canonized as queen because of her son's worth. Emperor Yingde died, Emperor Jiaqing succeeded to the throne, and Empress Wu killed the Empress Dowager Wu.
The current empress, the biological mother of Emperor Jiaqing, has a calm personality and does not like to govern. Emperor Jiaqing is still young, so the descendants of Emperor Wu's mother-in-law listen to the empress behind the curtain. The power in the DPRK was actually in the hands of the Empress Dowager Wu.
Before entering the palace, Su Fufu had done all these homework for the two amateurs behind him.
Changle Palace is as warm as spring.
"I pay homage to the Queen Mother!"
Su Fufeng led Tang Bolong and Kong Fang to kneel in front of a soft couch. Because he kept his head down, Kong Fang didn't see clearly the appearance of the Queen Mother, so he followed Su Fufeng to kneel down and let out a rainbow fart.
After completing the boring etiquette, the Queen Mother gave them a seat before they dared to sit down.
Kong Fang was not in a good mood. Changle Palace was not as comfortable as Yangxin Palace, and he was not used to it.
"County Magistrate Kong, please raise your head and let the Ai family see what kind of young talent he is who can make cement and fine salt. Talking about these things is really eye-opening for the Ai family."
As long as the Queen Mother likes it.
Kong Fang felt happy in his heart. Although he was not vain, but being praised by the most powerful woman in the world, he still felt that the bones in his body were much lighter and he had an airy feeling.
He slowly looked up.
Come on, old lady, please look carefully, look carefully, I am Kong Fang, the magistrate of Qinghe County, who is handsome, smart, loved by everyone, and has flat tires every time he sees a car.
Come, let's have a square dance together.
I twist, I twist, I twist...
Who are you……
Wherever he looked, he saw the empress dowager's face changed slightly when she saw the rich and dignified emperor, and her eyes looked as if she had seen a ghost.
Su Fufeng secretly screamed, "Oh no!" Although he didn't understand why the Queen Mother had such an expression, he knew that this was a very dangerous signal.
Kong Fang was also shocked and hurriedly lowered his head, "I am Kong Fang, the magistrate of Qinghe County, from Qizhou Prefecture..."
The Queen Mother twisted her body without any trace, and her expression returned to its original state.
"Are you from Qizhou Prefecture?"
"Who else is in your family?"
"Who recommended you to become an official in Qinghe County?"
Although it was not a three-part soul question, it was clearly intended to be a cross-examination. Kong Fang told the truth, including his "family members" in Qizhou Prefecture whom he had never met.
"Are you the son-in-law?"
The Queen Mother was surprised, and her heart was relieved. He thought to himself that there were so many people in the world who looked alike. If he really had royal blood, he wouldn't be a son-in-law.
So the tone of his speech seemed to be lighter, and he seemed to be a little happy.
Kong Fang was already very sensitive to the identity of the visiting son-in-law. He keenly caught the Queen Mother's disdain and almost ran away.
What happened to the son-in-law who came to your house?
Who are you laughing at?
I have a little bit of meat on my body?
Or am I no longer a man?
But the other party was the Queen Mother, the most powerful woman in Daxing Dynasty, and he didn't dare to get angry at her.
Su Fufeng's blood pressure, which had just soared, also slowly dropped. The expression on the Queen Mother's face just now scared him to the point of death. Although he knew that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, that scene was so unexpected that he was caught off guard.
The atmosphere in Changle Palace became gentler, and the Queen Mother no longer put on airs and appeared to be close to the people.
Kong Xiang explained to the Queen Mother the characteristics and functions of cement; in addition to being purer than coarse salt and green salt, fine salt was also more beneficial to health. He did not dare to mention the suppression of bandits.
First, the Queen Mother did not ask.
Second, it was related to Zhen Tianlei, and he didn't dare to raise the topic casually.
The two parties communicated happily for about half an hour. The Queen Mother was delicate and looked tired. Su Fufeng looked at her face and quickly stood up to leave. The Queen Mother did not hold back.
After leaving the palace gate, Kong Fang found that his back was feeling cold.
Not only because it was windy and cold outside, but also because the underwear on his back was wet.
"Sir, did you notice the look in the Queen Mother's eyes just now?" he asked Su Fufeng mysteriously.
"What exactly is going on?"
Su Fufeng also wanted to know what was going on, but now was not the time to talk. He reminded Kong Fang to be careful with his eyes.
Kong Fang quickly shut up.
As soon as the three of them left Changle Palace, the Queen Mother immediately stood up and said, "Come here, please tell me the new year."
After a while, father-in-law arrived.
"Eunuch Nian, the Ai family just saw someone."
"Who is it?" Eunuch Nian pinched his orchid fingers and spoke in a high-pitched voice.
"Concubine Rong!"
Eunuch Nian chuckled lightly, "The Queen Mother is joking. Concubine Rong has been dead for many years, and her bones have probably turned into loess."
"I thought it was just a joke, but I did see her just now. At that moment, I seemed to see her, no, to be precise, I saw her eyes."
Father-in-law stopped laughing.
"Queen Mother, what happened?"
"Does the county magistrate named Kong look familiar to you?"
Eunuch Nian lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then murmured, "No wonder, no wonder..."
The Queen Mother's face tightened, "Eunuch Nian, what's so strange about this?"
"Back to the Queen Mother, when I first met this boy, I found him particularly unpleasant. At that time, I was also wondering, it was just our first meeting, why was I so hostile to him?"
"After being reminded by the Queen Mother, I discovered that indeed..."
The Queen Mother signaled him to stop.
"Although that bitch Concubine Rong is dead, she was pregnant before she died. Eunuch Nian, who collected the body in the first place?"
"The eldest daughter of Yongle Palace visited Li Lianyin, but he threw himself into a well afterwards."
The Queen Mother frowned.
"This matter should not be made public. Send someone to investigate secretly... No, directly..."
She made a scratching motion on her neck.
