Queen Mother Chu was twirling her Buddhist beads, holding a Buddhist scripture in her hand, leaning on the couch, reading carefully.

Lu Wu was serving by the side, and Shuang'er came in with a cup of tea.

"Queen, it's getting late. You should go to bed early."

Queen Mother Chu put down the scriptures and looked up at Shuang'er.

The palace lanterns were bright, and Shuang'er looked very much like an old friend.

When Shuang'er saw Queen Dowager Chu staring at her, she knew that Queen Dowager Chu was thinking of her grandmother, Prince Cen's mother, who had passed away decades ago, but it was said that her grandmother had saved the Queen Dowager's life.

Thanks to the friendship among the elders, Prince Cen's lineage had always lived a good life, but unfortunately, they made a heinous mistake.

Shuang'er resented her father. If she had behaved herself, she would still be a princess. When she returned to the palace, her status would not be much lower than that of Princess Zhaoyang. In addition to the favor of the empress dowager, she could also please the emperor and the princes. Why couldn't she become the most honorable princess? "You can leave now." Queen Dowager Chu came back to her senses. She was a little displeased with the calculation in Shuang'er's eyes, but she didn't want to care about it. "You are young, go to bed early."

Shuang'er was delighted and responded briskly: "Shuang'er will obey the Queen Mother's order."

After Shuang'er left, Queen Dowager Chu dismissed the palace servants and left Luwu alone.

"What did you find out?"

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, Lu Wu has found out about the planting of new spring wheat in Zhaoyang County, and it is related to the Crown Prince, the Imperial Master, and Princess Zhaoyang."

"Spring wheat?" Queen Mother Chu lowered her eyes and took off her armor. "Spring wheat is produced every year, why is it so special this year?"

"According to the spies who came back from Zhaoyang County, the yield of spring wheat planted in Zhaoyang County can reach 100 dan per mu."

As Lu Wu finished speaking, Queen Mother Chu suddenly raised her head, her eyes in astonishment: "One hundred dan? One hundred dan per mu?"

Lu Wu nodded, "Yes. Lu Wu didn't believe it at first, so she sent two spies to check. Now the spring wheat has been planted for a month and is growing very well. Experienced villagers said that it is conservatively 70 to 80 shi. If it grows well, 100 shi will not be a problem."

Queen Mother Chu placed her hands on the table and murmured, "Ordinary spring wheat only yields a dozen or so dan..."

"Next year, next year Daxia will have a good harvest..."

"No wonder the emperor is like this..."

Queen Mother Chu chuckled suddenly and looked at Lu Wu: "No wonder the four brothers indulged that little girl. She is quite something. As the Imperial Master, she is also a person with real ability."

Lu Wu whispered, "The Imperial Master loves Princess Zhaoyang very much. It is said that many things are specially taken out by the Imperial Master for the princess. A few days ago, Princess Zhaoyang moved to the Imperial Master's residence temporarily. She came to the palace and brought a few boxes of lychees, which were distributed to Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine, and the palace maids in Fengyang Pavilion."

"She is quite generous." Queen Mother Chu closed her eyes, "Those palace maids and eunuchs in Fengyang Pavilion followed a good master."

"There is one more thing. His Majesty has sent you a female official to serve you. She will enter the palace tomorrow. Her name is Zhao Yuer. She is the niece of Concubine Zhao's mother's family and was not selected in the last election. I heard that she had a conflict with Princess Zhaoyang."

Queen Mother Chu closed her eyes lazily and said, "Change the name. The emperor dotes on Zhaoyang so much, so I will do as he wishes."

"yes."

The situation in the capital is complicated, with whirlpools one after another, one falling and one standing up, power changing and indulging in sensual pleasures.

The Third Prince’s Mansion.

"roll!"

After the banquet, Helian Mo took a stroll around the military camp as usual and returned around midnight.

Unexpectedly, the Ning family sent a concubine's daughter, saying that they wanted to find a trial marriage for Miss Ning Liu.

Helian Mo got annoyed immediately.

The opposite of Tiangang!

When a princess marries, she will ask her maidservant to try out the prince's marriage, but both parties must agree. I have never heard of a minister's daughter marrying a prince. She wants to let the prince try out the marriage. It is obvious that she looks down on him! She thinks he is sick! "Your Highness, I have admired you for a long time. Now I am honored to do my best for my sister." Miss Ning Qi's face was full of spring, and she wanted to step forward to get closer to Helian Mo, "I will do more for you..."

"Su Xin! Tie the man up and take him to Lord Ning's residence. Also, prepare the horse. I want to enter the palace!"

Miss Ning Qi's face turned pale. She had never thought that she would be rejected. She had never thought that there would be a man who would not want a beautiful woman who came to his door.

Helian Mo was so angry that his stomach ached. He changed into casual clothes and rushed to the palace overnight.

Upon hearing that the emperor was staying overnight at Concubine Zhen's place in the Yikun Palace, he broke in at night.

Chang Hai was so frightened that he almost lost his soul.

But fortunately, he broke into his own mother's palace. If it were any other concubine, he would have been dragged out and beaten with a stick by now.

Helian Su and Concubine Zhen were woken up in the middle of the night. When they heard that he was so impatient and out of control, they were worried that something big might happen and did not dare to delay for a moment.

result……

When Helian Mo saw Helian Su, he knelt down and said, "Father, I will dismiss the backyard and don't want other women! Also, I want to ask Lord Ning to humiliate the prince! He secretly sent women to me and said he wanted to try marriage. He has no shame!"

As Helian Su listened, his face became darker and darker. He broke into the palace in the middle of the night just for a woman's matter? He also wanted to investigate his wife's family?

When Concubine Zhen heard her son say this, she knelt down beside him and said, "Your Majesty, Mo'er is young and hot-tempered, and he speaks without restraint. It is because I did not teach him well, so please do not blame me."

"Mother, this has nothing to do with you. I was able to get along well with the women in the backyard, but it's all because of that old man, Lord Ning! He actually dared to send a woman to me for a trial marriage. He clearly accused me of having a physical problem!"

Concubine Zhen was furious: "Old bastard! Let your uncle report him someday! Give him a good beating! My son is in good health! He is a great general on the battlefield! There will be no problem!"

"That's right!" Helian Mo looked at Concubine Zhen, aggrieved, "Mother, Lord Ning bullied me. He also abused Ning Xiaoliu. How annoying!"

"Mother asked your uncle to beat him up! Old bastard! How dare you bully my son and daughter-in-law? Ugh!"

Helian Su simply sat down. Chang Hai poured him a cup of warm tea and watched the mother and son perform a duet with an expressionless face.

A quarter of an hour later, the mother and son were thirsty and looked at Helian Su who was sitting in the main seat.

"Did you finish singing?"

Helian Mo straightened his back and said loudly, "Father, the song is over."

Concubine Zhen lowered her eyes: "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

She didn't want to indulge her son, but her son especially cherished the concubine of the Ning family, so what could she do? His Majesty was young and strong, and she couldn't indulge her son to covet her. Now she could only cherish the present, and she couldn't be separated from her son.

"You want to dismiss the women in the backyard?"

"Yes, I beg Father to grant my wish."

Helian Su put down the teacup and looked at Concubine Zhen. Concubine Zhen had been with him for nearly twenty years, so she immediately knew what he meant and bowed and stepped out.

Concubine Zhen looked at the bright moon outside the hall and the desolate palace, then turned and went to the main hall.

The imperial concubine had a droopy face and she took up half of the bed.

"Your Mo'er is making a lot of noise." The Imperial Concubine closed her eyes and complained slowly, "You still come to bother me."

Concubine Zhen squeezed to the side of the Imperial Concubine and put her arm around her: "I also hate his noise. His Majesty just kicked me out, so I have some free time. At least I don't have to serve him in the morning court tomorrow."

"Why did he enter the palace at night? Is it about the court?" The imperial concubine's voice gradually became softer.

"No, Lord Ning sent him a woman for trial marriage, and he got angry."

The Imperial Concubine immediately opened her eyes, looking much more alert, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Lord Ning doubts your Mo'er's ability in that aspect?"

Concubine Zhen spat and raised her hand to pinch the Imperial Concubine's arm: "Who knows what the old man is thinking! He has enough heads to chop off for provoking the royal family! It's only my Mo'er who has a good temper."

"If it were in those days, before you and I married His Majesty, we had to send a woman to try out the marriage, His Majesty would have raised a knife and slaughtered our entire family."

The Imperial Concubine covered her lips and said, "Be careful with your words. It won't sound good if this gets out."
