The next morning, all kinds of precious flowers in the imperial garden rushed to bloom, and there were crystal dewdrops on the petals. At this time, there was a burst of laughter, "Queen, look how beautiful these flowers are blooming."

Ah!" Water Hibiscus smiled brightly and pointed at a rose not far away.

Li Jingsu looked along Shui Furong's hand, then nodded and turned around and said with a smile: "Concubine Rong has really good eyesight. She spotted the most beautiful flower in the Imperial Garden at a glance. This flower is just like her sister's face."

"Similarly, you are as beautiful as a flower at the age of eighteen, and it is no wonder that the emperor likes you. Even I am envious of your age," she said as she walked towards the pavilion not far away, followed by Gao Mingxue and a large group of palace maids and eunuchs.

.

At this time, the pavilion was already full of people. Only one personal maid was left beside each empress. The rest were waiting outside the pavilion. The chatter in the pavilion could be heard several meters away. "Have you heard that yesterday?"

The emperor stayed in Qiao Xi's room, and there was a shameful scream coming from the room. I heard that the scream lasted the whole night and didn't stop until dawn," Ling Xinrong said mysteriously, as if she was the only one who knew

.

"I thought it was some big deal, but it turned out to be this! Who wouldn't know about such a big movement last night? What kind of magic did you think Qiao Xi used to confuse the emperor like this all night long? If he was injured

What to do with the dragon body?" The speaker was a woman in her twenties. She was wearing a sky blue dress and had a few exquisite beads on her head. Although she was not as gorgeous as others, she was also very simple.

Beautiful, she has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a small cherry mouth under her small nose. She can be regarded as a beauty of the generation. She is Sun Xueyi. She is a beauty. She was favored by Sima Bo twice. When she said Qiao Xi

She was extremely jealous. Who didn't know that although Qiao Xi's current identity was that of a palace maid, as long as she stayed with Sima Bo, she would one day regain her identity. If Qiao Xi regained her identity, it would be even harder for those of them who wanted to climb up.

, you must know that it was because Qiao Xi was imprisoned that they had the opportunity to be favored. Now that Qiao Xi is out, will Sima Bo still favor them?

"You're jealous, you're jealous just like that. What do you have to be jealous of? It's the queen who should be jealous. Yesterday, the emperor personally sent the queen back to the palace, and then left again and went to a palace maid's room. How can you say that the queen is so embarrassed!

I don’t know what the queen is thinking, if I just hang myself, haha!" Ling Xinrong covered her mouth and laughed softly. Now her biggest enemy is Li Jingsu. As long as she ascends the throne of the queen, are she afraid that she will not be able to get rid of Qiao Xi?

?

"Sisters, you are so free! Especially Concubine Ling. The emperor asked your sister to help me take care of the harem. Usually, I don't have time to pay my respects. Why are you talking in sleep in the Imperial Garden so early in the morning today? I don't think Ling

Sister Concubine is not awake yet! She even dares to gossip about the Emperor and the Queen. I wonder what the Emperor would think of Sister Concubine Ling’s sleep talk today if he knew what Concubine Ling just said." Li Jingsu looked at the person sitting in the chair seriously.

The three women in the pavilion spoke in authoritative tones.

The people in the pavilion included Sun Xueyi, Ling Xinrong, and Wang Yun, who had been silent. After they heard Li Jingsu's voice, they immediately stood up and saluted Li Jingsu. "I, my concubine, see the queen," they knelt on both sides of the pavilion, in the middle.

Leave a way for Li Jingsu to enter the pavilion.

Li Jingsu looked at the three people kneeling on the ground with a straight face and said, "Everyone, get up!" After saying that, he stepped into the pavilion, then walked to the stone carved round table and sat down. Shui Furong followed Li Jingsu,

Seeing Li Jingsu sit down, she wisely did not sit down, but chose to stand next to Li Jingsu.

The three of them stood up with different colors on their faces. Ling Xinrong lowered her head and cursed in her heart. She didn't come earlier, she didn't come late, but she came at this time. Sun Xueyi was so frightened that her face turned pale.

Just being humble, she was afraid that Li Jingsu would throw her into the cold palace in a rage, and her life would be over.

Only Wang Yun was holding the fan that she kept with her all year round, shaking it slowly, with a calm expression, as if she didn't see the anger on Li Jingsu's face at all, because she didn't say anything, so naturally she didn't feel guilty.

"You are all old people in the palace. Don't you still know the rules in the palace? Qiao Xi was once the emperor's noble concubine. The emperor is a person who misses old friendships. It is normal for him to go to Qiao Xi's place. If you sisters want to get

The emperor's favor must be based on your own ability. Don't say words that are harmful to others and not beneficial to yourself, lest you don't get the emperor's favor and end up with a life," Li Jingsu said with a warning. If she didn't take it,

If you act like a queen, no one in this harem will really take her seriously.

Ling Xinrong and Sun Xueyi immediately said in unison: "I will obey the Queen's teachings." Ling Xinrong suddenly realized that even though she held the power in the harem, she still had to look at Li Jingsu's face, which made her

In my heart, I want to get the position of queen even more.

"Okay, I'm tired too, so you can just enjoy the flowers slowly!" Li Jingsu really didn't want to see them acting different, so she got up and left.

At this time, the morning court was more lively than the harem. Sima Bo was sitting majestically on the dragon chair. From a height, he looked down at the rows of ministers standing below, waiting for the arguing ministers to stop. And this morning's morning court and the imperial palace were more lively than the harem.

The difference before was that there was an uninvited guest sitting behind the bead curtain next to Sima's thin dragon chair, the Queen Mother Lu Jiao.

At this time, a man standing at the back of the civil servants came to the middle and said: "Your Majesty, there was a thief in the palace last night. Mr. Lu has made great achievements in guarding the national seal. I recommend that you reward Mr. Lu heavily."

Sima Bo glanced at Lu Hui, then nodded and said: "Lu Aiqing not only protected the most important national seal of the country last night, but also sent heavy troops to guard the Xinci Palace to protect the safety of the Queen Mother. I have decided to reward you with a thousand gold coins."

Two, ten beauties, do you think this is good for me, Queen Mother?" He turned back to ask Lu Jiao for her opinion, but there was a huge conspiracy hidden deep in his eyes.

"Everything is subject to the emperor's arrangement." Lu Jiao came here today for a purpose. She wanted to take this opportunity to bring Xue Hu down. She wanted to weaken Sima Bo's power in the court.

"Your Majesty believes that Mr. Lu has made great contributions that will not only merit rewards, but also be promoted to a higher rank. Since Mr. Lu has protected the most important things of our country and made our Yusi country peaceful and peaceful, I suggest that Mr. Lu be granted the title of Marquis of Wan'an."

Mo Xing stood at the forefront of the civil service and spoke at this critical moment. He is the mastermind of this controversy today.

Sima Bo looked at Mo Xing and saw that Mo Xing's expression was serious. He and Mo Xing had grown up together. Some things did not need to be explained explicitly. They had already reached a tacit understanding. They could tell by looking at each other's every move.

What the other party wanted to do, "Okay, let's follow Mo Aiqing's suggestion and make Lu Hui the Marquis of Wan'an." He agreed to Mo Xing's words without thinking. Sima Bo's move made all the ministers present.

Understand how important Mo Xing's words are in the court. The key is that Sima Bo obeys Mo Xing's words. Of course, many ministers are jealous.

Lu Hui himself was also shocked. He had made great contributions, but he didn't need to be granted a title of marquis. Mo Xing, Xue Hu, and many other ministers who had made great contributions to Sima Bo's defeat were none of them. This made him feel an unprecedented panic.

When Lu Jiao saw Lu Hui standing there without any reaction, she immediately said in a deep voice: "Lu Aiqing, why don't you thank me quickly? The Ai family must be so happy to see you!" She didn't know what medicine Sima Bo bought in the gourd.

, but as long as the military power in Lu Hui's hands is still there, she will not object no matter what Feng Lu Hui does.

Lu Hui reacted to Lu Jiao's reminder and immediately knelt on the ground, "I thank you, Lord, for your kindness. Long live your Majesty." There was no smile on his face, no joy at all about being promoted to a noble rank.

Sima Bo smiled and said: "Lu Aiqing Pingsheng, you are the first minister of our Yusi Kingdom to be granted the title of marquis. From now on, you must contribute to the country and benefit the people." His current expression and tone are completely a complete one.

A good emperor, no one knows what he is thinking? No one knows what will happen next? However, there are many sensitive ministers who feel that something big may happen.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will never disappoint the Emperor or let the people down," Lu Hui kowtowed to Sima Bo, stood up and returned to his seat.

When Sima Bo saw that none of the ministers spoke, he glanced at Mo Xing and said, "My dear friends, if you have anything to do, report it early, and if you have nothing to do, withdraw from the court." He knew that Mo Xing didn't say anything because he was waiting for an opportunity, and he was also waiting.

All the ministers still didn't speak. Mo Xing began to feel anxious. If no one spoke, what would happen to his plan? How could he let Lu Hui receive the title in vain? He was about to retreat from the court. He remembered to think of countermeasures quickly.

At that moment, Lu Jiao's voice came out from behind the bead curtain.

"Your Majesty, one thing is that rewards and punishments are clear. If you have merit, you should be rewarded. If you have done something wrong, you should be punished. Ai Jia would like to ask where General Xue, one of the Five Tiger Generals, was last night." Lu Jiao wanted to ask in a deep voice.

How could she give up this great opportunity to move to Xue Hu? As long as Xue Hu fell, wouldn't all military power fall into Lu Hui's hands? In this way, she would be one step closer to the throne.

As soon as Lu Jiao said these words, Sima Xiao's expression changed, and he looked at Sima Bo. He had long felt that the anger in the court today was wrong, and Lu Jiao had never listened to politics behind the curtain when he went to court.

Why did you come to the court without discussing it with him? Who is behind all this? Why did Sima Bo agree to Lu Jiao listening to politics behind the curtain today? He suddenly realized that there was a huge conspiracy, but things had already developed.

At this point, he could only stay silent and watch how things develop.

Xue Hu was suddenly called by name. He was a little confused, but he understood that being called by Lu Jiao was definitely not a good thing. He walked to the middle and bowed to Sima Bo and Lu Jiao and said: "Go back to the Queen Mother, Wei Chen last night." He suddenly stopped talking.
