"Your Majesty, it's time to eat." Si Qing, the palace maid, walked slowly to Wang Zhenying's side. Seeing that she had no intention of eating, she reminded her.
The master may not want to eat it, but the slave must remind him.
Xie Minghui got up from the collapse and walked to the yard to enjoy the breeze.
"Don't worry, just wait until big brother comes and eat together."
Wait until Wang Gong comes?
When is that?
Si Qing said: "Your Majesty, the news of the summons has just spread. It will be a long time before the prince comes!"
"Your Majesty, you'd better use some food quickly!"
Wang Zhenying has no intention of doing this. She is also a person with ideas and is very determined.
"No rush, no rush."
"I think the eldest brother must not have eaten either, so we should wait for him to join us!"
Have not eat yet?
No way!
Si Qing left with doubts. He really couldn't figure out this solution. Logically speaking, although the Queen Mother went to convey the decree early in the morning, it was not too early.
Among other things, today is a day for the imperial court to rest. According to past practice, even if there are urgent matters, they must be handled slowly and never too quickly.
Wang Zhenying did the same thing. Although she wanted to see Wang Gong as soon as possible, she also set aside time for him to prepare.
After all, today is a day of rest, everyone needs to rest, and no one will get up too early.
If it were anyone else, Wang Zhenying would definitely not be so kind.
I have picked them up early and brought them into the palace for a meeting, regardless of whether you are awake or not.
Queen Mother, I haven’t slept yet, you still want to sleep?
Even if you are in a bad mood, you may deliberately make things difficult, just to disturb your clear dreams.
Keeping you awake!
However, facing her eldest brother, Wang Zhenying had to show mercy.
The time arrangements were very safe. Wang Gong's home was originally located on Wuyi Lane, not far from Jiankang Palace, so there was plenty of time to prepare.
However, despite this, Wang Zhenying is still very confident. Wang Aning must not be in the mood to eat.
Not to mention having breakfast, even last night, whether I could sleep or not was a problem.
One is that Wang Aning is a very suspicious person. There is nothing to say about this. No one can save him.
In the dead of night, he would definitely wonder over and over again, what did Wang Zhenying and Wang Mi say after spending so long together?
There will definitely be nothing good to say about him.
If so, why not take him with you? Why specifically exclude him?
The second thing is that Wang Gong is still an extremely petty person.
You know, even Wang Mi and Wang Zhenying are both upright and upright, and they didn't say anything bad about him.
That's of no use either.
Because, who asked you to meet him, Wang Mi, first?
If you leave your biological brother alone without seeing him, you will have a problem.
I'm angry!
Therefore, no matter what Wang Zhenying does, Wang Gong will not be in a good mood under the current court situation.
When news came on the battlefield that Wang Mi was on the street, maybe, without anyone else doing anything, he would be in a good mood and rise up on the spot.
It was precisely because she understood some of her brother's tricks that Wang Zhenying specially prepared meals and waited for him to enter the palace to eat together.
It would be too shameful for my brother to enter the palace hungry and leave the palace hungry again.
But when will he come?
This is really an unknown number.
Wang Zhenying is also very worried. There are no other problems. The most important thing is that she is hungry!
Really hungry!
very hungry!
If Wang Gong doesn't come again, she won't be able to wait any longer!
Although she claims to be good at boasting, the reality is that she will regret it if she boasts about it. Wang Zhenying is now enduring her hunger and working hard to persevere.
Good brother!
If you are my brother, come quickly!
On the other side, Wang Gong seemed to have heard his sister's call and rushed into the palace at full speed.
The reason why it was so fast was because it was Wang Aning. If it had been anyone else, he wouldn't have been so lucky.
As both the prime minister and the uncle of the state, Wang Gong's current position in the court is very powerful.
Therefore, when entering the palace to meet His Majesty and the Queen Mother, there was no need to change transportation at all, let alone walking.
Just move forward at the same speed.
In this way, he is naturally much faster than those ministers who need to get off the car and walk, or change transportation.
All the way to Wang Zhenying's palace, she jumped out of the carriage and without delay, rushed straight to the palace gate.
"The Queen Mother, the old minister is here!"
"coming?"
"finally come!"
"quick!"
"Please come in quickly!"
Upon hearing this call, Wang Zhenying rushed to the dining table without saying a word. Before Wang Gong came in, she had already raised her chopsticks.
By the time Wang Gong came to her, she had already eaten.
What's the point?
Faced with Wang Gong's shocked face, Wang Zhenying was very calm. She was like a brother and sister, so what's the fuss?
"The Queen Mother, this..."
"Yes, I haven't eaten breakfast yet, and my eldest brother doesn't have anything to eat either. Let's sit down and eat together. It's better to chat while we eat."
Although the ancients paid attention to eating and sleeping, but since they are brothers and sisters, there is nothing to pay attention to.
They are all good food and rice, great!
Wang Gong stroked his belly, thought for a moment and finally sat down.
After all, humans still cannot defeat their biological instincts.
Under extreme hunger, all these etiquette are empty.
"The Queen Mother summoned the old minister so early. She must have something important to do."
Before taking a few sips of the porridge, Wang Gong started talking about his bad things. Wang Zhenying was picking up the vegetables with chopsticks, and suddenly stopped.
Stopped there.
"Brother, let's talk about it after we finish eating, okay?"
It's true, he has a strong eating habit, and he has to stir things up. This person is still so blind, thinking about himself in everything, and not caring about others.
"Isn't this what you said, chatting while eating?"
"Brother, I'll do what you said. Is that still wrong?" Lao Wang is so wronged, okay?
"Having said that, I want you to talk in a light-hearted way. Who asked you to talk about Wang Zhiyuan again?"
"Didn't the eldest brother say that you are no longer friends with him? Why are you still so concerned about his affairs?"
Is not this nonsensical?
If you don't see him, I don't have to care!
"The eldest brother doesn't mean to be particularly concerned. Isn't it because the eldest brother originally planned to host a banquet for him outside the city yesterday, but you interfered with it halfway?"
"I thought you had something serious to say. If it's related to government affairs, I naturally can't ignore it."
Lao Wang can still make up a few excuses, and he can make them very smooth and perfect.
For the sake of official business, you can't hide anything from me.
"You said what happened yesterday was actually not that complicated. Brother, you are just overthinking it."
If you do this, can I not think too much? Wang Gong cursed.
"Sister, what's the matter with you? Why don't you tell your eldest brother first and then you want to see Wang Zhiyuan?"
"Or do you think that now that he is the humerus of the imperial court, the eldest brother is useless?"
The opposite of extreme arrogance is extreme inferiority, and this is Wang Gong.
Originally, he didn't look down on Wang Zhiyuan at all and didn't take him seriously at all, but this was only one aspect.
However, when he faced Wang Zhenying, his mood quickly fell to the other side. He felt that it was his inability that made the girl switch to Wang Zhiyuan.
Such emotions, one in the east and the other in the west, were changing so fast that it was overwhelming. Even Wang Zhenying couldn't understand the meaning of his question just now.
"Brother, where did you think you were?"
"No matter what, of course I will put your interests first. We are brothers and sisters. How could I turn my elbow outward?"
What Wang Zhenying said was so true, but Wang Gong did not agree with her.
If it’s not that the elbow is turned outward, then where should it be turned?
It can’t be that they are turning towards Wang Gong!
Who would believe this?
So far, everything Wang Zhenying has done has been in accordance with Wang Mi's wishes, but what about Wang Gong's?
Just didn't take it into consideration at all.
How can others trust her if she does this?
"how?"
"Brother, you still don't believe me?"
However, Wang Zhenying did not understand what Wang Gong had already seen through.
"Sister, if you really think about your elder brother, then why don't you explain it clearly to your elder brother first if you have anything to say?"
"Wang Zhiyuan came back from the expedition. I understand that you want to see him. You really want to see him, but you can't put your eldest brother aside and meet him first."
"If you do this, how will the ministers in the government and the public look at me?"
"They must think that you no longer support me and are moving closer to the younger and more capable Wang Zhiyuan."
"How can you let your eldest brother fool around in the future?"
While talking, Wang Gong actually started to complain, while Si Qing waited on him, breaking out in cold sweat and beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.
This old man is also confused.
This is the Queen Mother. Even if she is her own sister, she is still extremely noble. How can you speak to her like this?
Fortunately, she was her own sister, so even though Wang Gong said a lot of inappropriate things, she still didn't get angry.
From this perspective, he is still a biological brother after all.
If it were another person...
Tsk tsk...
I don’t even dare to think about the consequences.
Look at Mr. Wang, it's no wonder that everyone likes him. He has never been so full of complaints when talking or doing things.
Achievements can be shown. Even if he has great military exploits, he still has an easy-going attitude and his speech is pleasant to the ears. The key is that he is also good-looking, a handsome guy, and he does things so appropriately. Who can not like him.
Of course, Wang Gong was quite good-looking before, and he was a handsome boy, but that was back then.
Now, although he is also elegant, he is old.
Why!
old!
Nothing is more heartbreaking than this.
"Brother, I don't mean this. I came to Wang Zhiyuan just for your sake. He came back with a great victory, and he is already very powerful."
"If I don't call him to the palace and comfort him, what if he gets upset and attacks you first?"
"Have you ever considered this possibility?"
"Brother, you don't have that advantage in many things. Wang Zhiyuan's current situation is much better than yours."
"snort!"
"You are still speaking for him."
The conscience of heaven and earth, she has already spoken to this point, why is he still petty?
Could it be that what she said was wrong?
Isn't this possible?
Thinking about things comprehensively was Wang Zhenying's biggest feeling after becoming the Queen Mother. Wang Gong always thought that by occupying the Jiankang court, he would have the upper hand in facing Wang Mi. But in fact, this was just his wishful thinking.
Wang Gong's plan is actually very simple.
That is to use the power of the court to directly push Wang Zhiyuan into the mud by virtue of his position as prime minister and Wang Zhenying's support in the harem.
Even death is not impossible.
However, I have to say that Wang Gong's idea is too simple.
Although Wang Zhenying reminded him several times, the power of Beifu will never return to Wang Gong's hands just because Wang Mi rushed to the street.
However, it is undeniable that although the two of them have never had a serious discussion on this matter, it can be concluded that this idea has never disappeared from Wang Gong's mind.
"Brother, I am not speaking for Wang Zhiyuan. He has nothing to do with me. Why am I facing him?"
"I think this is all based on practical considerations. Think about it, if you push him into a hurry and he disperses his army to Jiankang City and starts fighting directly, what can you do?"
"Can you beat him?"
"How many troops do you have at your disposal?"
These are very practical problems, and they are right in front of us. However, Wang Gong seems to have no eyes and does not take them to heart at all.
All these things he did were based on himself, all for his own pleasure, and to show off his courage. The question is, is it useful?
In Wang Zhenying's view, without her support, Wang Gong's various performances are no different from incompetent barking.
Apart from getting angry and furious, hurling all kinds of insults and hurting your dignity, what else can you get?
"My abilities are indeed not as good as his, but so what?"
"Just because I am inferior to him in all aspects, should I pretend to be a grandson and surrender to him?" Wang Gong raised his beard and shouted loudly, which made Wang Zhenying feel a headache.
surrender?
Fortunately, he can still say it!
Look at his current momentum. He is even more powerful than Wang Zhiyuan who came back from a victorious battle. Will he surrender?
"I never said that."
"Brother, I just want to ease the situation. You see, it is obvious now that Wang Zhiyuan's momentum is far greater than yours. Since you can't shake him and you still want to cause trouble, aren't you waiting to be defeated?"
"It's better to wait a little longer and wait and see what happens."
"What you say is nice. If you wait, if you wait a little longer, his power will become more stable. Is there still room for me in the government and the public?"
Ah, this...
That's the bleak fact.
Have to admit it.
But, so what?
That is a matter for the future. Our top priority now is to overcome the current difficulty.
"Brother, we'll talk about the future later, so why are you anxious now? Let me tell you the truth, and you don't want to hear it. If you really want to bring down Wang Zhiyuan, you can't just rely on me. You have to win over all the forces.
