Queen Mother Guo walked up to the pavilion and immediately saw Mrs. Zhen. Mrs. Zhen then stopped pacing, stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Your Highness is back."
But seeing Mrs. Zhen's uneasy behavior just now, and her face looking a little pale even after putting on makeup, Queen Mother Guo said softly: "Sister, don't be so afraid."
Mrs. Zhen nodded in response, and then murmured: "I always thought that sister is a cautious person."
Queen Mother Guo breathed a sigh of relief slowly, but controlled her breathing evenly. She gently held Madam Zhen's cold hand and said, "My sister is not wrong." Madam Zhen looked at her and was startled.
In fact, Mrs. Zhen is a relatively courageous person. However, when it comes to the royal harem where the Holy Spirit is revered, even bold people will feel fear. It is human nature. Mrs. Zhen is not ignorant, but she is not familiar with some major matters.
The judgment lacks confidence and is uncertain, and the unknown is the most awe-inspiring.
Empress Dowager Guo can judge major events more accurately. She knows that the current Wei Dynasty has undergone fundamental changes.
As soon as Wang Ling died, Qin Liang returned to Luoyang with great military exploits and a large number of following soldiers. The situation of the Wang family was already under Qin Liang's, and there was no one in the court.
Can beat Qin Liang!
If the Wang family was not the largest force before, it would be even less able to suppress all parties in recent years. And if the Wang family could still be stronger than Qin Liang, Wang Guang would not be in a hurry to declare his defection.
Empress Dowager Guo thought of this and said in an understatement: "With Zhongming and me here, I don't have to think so much."
Mrs. Zhen deliberately relaxed her posture and nodded "Yeah", but her eyes were still extra bright due to her emotional tension.
At this time, Empress Dowager Guo glanced inside the spacious palace room. There was no one inside. In fact, there was no outsider in the entire courtyard at this time.
Therefore, Empress Dowager Guo did not deny it just now, and she was cautious. The East Palace was not crowded with people and was originally uninhabited. The maids and eunuchs who followed Empress Dowager Guo to the East Palace were all carefully selected confidants; even so, Guo Guo
The Queen Mother still avoided the public eye and did not let the palace maids and eunuchs enter the Yong'an Palace.
There was only a curtain hanging on the north side of the palace, but Queen Mother Guo knew at a glance that it could not cover anything and could only be reserved. Not only was the curtain somewhat transparent, but the window was on the north side, and the light shone from behind the curtain.
Come in... Mrs. Zhen will definitely be able to clearly see the scene behind the curtain from the door.
Queen Mother Guo's face felt a little hot. She glanced at Mrs. Zhen and went behind the curtain without saying anything. She sat on her knees on the thick banquet with her side facing the curtain and turned to look at the Canglong Sea outside the window.
After a while, there was a sound on the stairs, and Qin Liang walked up to the attic. Perhaps Queen Mother Guo had not seen Qin Liang for a long time, and she became a little nervous for a while.
Qin Liang met Mrs. Zhen and exchanged polite greetings. Empress Dowager Guo vaguely heard Qin Liang's words, and probably asked Mrs. Zhen to meet at her old residence in Yong'anli in the afternoon, which was the place where Empress Dowager Guo had an appointment with Qin Liang last year.
Then Qin Liang came to the front of the curtain, bowed and said: "Your Highness."
Empress Dowager Guo turned around and pretended to be relaxed and said: "The palace maids and eunuchs are not in Yong'an Hall, what is Zhongming doing outside the curtain?"
Qin Liang's voice said: "Every time I have a court meeting or a summons in the palace, I can only listen to His Highness's moving voice through the curtain, and peek at His Highness's skirt in the haze. I miss him but I can't get close. I want to
Let’s first recall how I missed you then, but today I can’t help but miss you.”
When Queen Mother Guo heard this, she couldn't help but twitch the corners of her charming almond-shaped eyes, and pursed her red lips above her slightly pointed delicate chin. She deliberately scolded her: "It turns out that you are thinking wildly in front of everyone in the court!
"
At this time, Qin Liang bypassed the curtain and appeared in front of Queen Mother Guo. Whether it was because of Qin Liang's words just now or because there was someone outside the palace door, Queen Mother Guo felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
She gently raised her eyes and glanced at him with a twinkling look. She originally thought that Qin Liang was teasing her just now, but she saw that Qin Liang did not have a frivolous smile and still looked very serious. How dare he say what he just said.
, are you telling the truth?
At first glance, Queen Mother Guo felt her heart beating faster. She hadn't seen him for a long time. Qin Liang was still as handsome as ever, but he seemed a little more calm and composed.
There are many good-looking men in Luoyang, but most of them are handsome and their bodies are not as tall and strong as Qin Liang's. People with good bodies have not so good-looking faces, not to mention that unknown physique that is different from ordinary people??????
The most important thing is that his eyes and the aura emanating from his body are related to his knowledge, character and even status, which cannot be learned by ordinary people.
Queen Mother Guo couldn't help but take a few more glances, and saw that there was no lack of heroic spirit between his brows, coupled with the light goatee that was quite manly, and his tall stature, which made him feel a bit oppressive; but he also had a certain
The simple atmosphere relieves stress and makes people feel extra friendly.
His skin color is relatively light, but there are obvious traces of exposure to wind and sun on his face and neck, which makes him feel very down-to-earth. Of course, Queen Mother Guo knew that this was because he lived in the open air on the battlefield.
Perhaps this is also Erlang's advantage. No matter how high a woman's status is or how smart her mind is, she is not qualified to get along with truly talented people and form alliances. But Qin Liang can do it. There is a large group of people with him.
Familiarity, companionship, wealth, life, survival and future are all tied together; if anyone touches Qin Liang nowadays, many people will fight to the death. Those who live in the deep palace and only rely on conspiracy and conspiracy have no choice in this regard.
The undercurrents in the court previously made Empress Dowager Guo still fearful. However, the more she looked at Qin Liang, the more at ease she felt in her heart.
Queen Mother Guo stood up from the banquet and walked slowly to Qin Liang. At this time, Qin Liang suddenly approached her impulsively and put his mouth and nose to the jade-white skin of Queen Mother Guo's neck. Queen Mother Guo gently supported Qin Liang with her hand.
With her bright mind and charming eyes, she rolled her eyes at him: "Let me take a look at you first."
Qin Liang's eyes flashed with confusion, but he didn't force it, he just took a deep breath.
Empress Dowager Guo said softly: "When Zhongming was still a fifth-rank official, I knew he was right. Zhongming was not an ordinary talent. He conquered the three counties of Hanzhong in one fell swoop. Most people in the court would not dare to think of it; and it was also the time when Wang Yanyun passed away.
, what Zhong Ming can get now is beyond expectation."
Qin Liang said: "I cannot be where I am today without your Highness's trust. I will never forget His Highness's kindness and kindness."
Empress Dowager Guo smiled slightly and was noncommittal. Her eyes wandered on Qin Liang's face, and she knew in her heart that Qin Liang was not mainly relying on the royal harem to do politics, or even just because of his so-called ability to conquer and fight.
Qin Liang can always win in harsh battle situations, which requires insight and talent. What's more, he can get the support of Linghu Yu and others, and some nobles, and has been stable from the time when the Wang family was in power to the present. He must have insights that are different from ordinary people.
.
Even though Queen Mother Guo had already given birth to a child with him, she was still a little curious about Qin Liang.
She couldn't help but ask: "Is Ayu still in the Wang family?"
Qin Liang softened his tone and said: "Your Highness, don't worry. Everyone thinks that Ayu was born to your king, and his people are taking care of him. Ayu is very safe in the Wang family's residence in Yishouli. When your king comes back in a few days, he will take care of him." She took her back to General Wei's Mansion."
Queen Mother Guo sighed softly: "I haven't seen Ayu for a long time."
Qin Liang agreed: "Yes."
At this time, Queen Mother Guo inadvertently caught a glimpse of the Canglong Sea outside the half-open wooden window. The vast waters and the bright sunshine immediately made her broad-minded, as if the front suddenly became spacious and relaxed. She couldn't help but turn around He stood up, took two steps forward, and looked towards the Canglong Sea.
Qin Liang also followed up and carefully hugged Queen Mother Guo's waist from behind. Queen Mother Guo felt him and her whole body immediately became uncontrollably nervous. , when her tight body relaxed slightly, she felt as if her strength had been used up all of a sudden, and she became limp and lazy. Empress Dowager Guo immediately took a long and slow breath, carefully feeling Qin Liang's physical contact, but suddenly thought of After seeing the previous scene downstairs, he turned around and asked softly: "Are you thinking about the Queen in your heart?"
Qin Liang said hurriedly: "Your Highness is more beautiful than her, how could I have thought so much?"
If Zhen Yao heard these words, she might not be happy, but Qin Liang was not talking nonsense. Zhen Yao is very beautiful, but her figure is still slightly inferior to that of the two Wang family concubines and the Queen Mother Guo. .
But Zhen Yao was younger, not only had she never given birth to a child, but she was also unmanned. When Empress Dowager Guo heard about this from Zhen Yao, she was very angry before. She specially selected a rare and stunning beauty for the emperor, but he actually disliked it! Most likely It was because Zhen Yao was a relative of the Queen Mother Guo, and it was arranged by the Queen Mother Guo and others, that the emperor became angry. In addition to not accepting it, he also beat Zhen Yao many times!
Empress Dowager Guo said with complicated emotions: "You are just over the age of 18, and you are still young."
Qin Liang said from behind: "Who has never been young? Your Highness is unique."
Queen Mother Guo was happy to hear this. In fact, she just suddenly thought of it and just said it casually. She didn't care that much.
There was no need for her to be jealous of Zhen Yao, not to mention that there were only one or two girls and women who could be seduced by Qin Liang in Luoyang. How could she care about coming over? Empress Dowager Guo showed no resistance where she was, letting him do whatever he wanted, but she still looked at her Looking at the Canglong Sea outside, there seemed to be a layer of mist in his eyes.
The Canglong Sea outside is very wide, but when people stand at a high place, they can already see the scenery on the other side. The scenery on the other side looks blurry and small because it is too far away. The Canglong Sea is also flowing, and is connected to the Tianyuan Sea in the palace to the northwest. , and leads to the Yang Canal outside to the east.
The source of some of the landscaped streams in the East Palace also comes from Canglong Sea. The turbulent stream flows from high to low, showing a crystal clear color in the sun, soaking the grass and white jade along the way. Above the living water , those beautiful landscapes such as waterside pavilions, pavilions, and stone arch bridges have gained color and charm. Even though the East Palace has been abandoned for a long time, the exquisite architectural scenery is still beautiful.
