Because the matter was so important, Song Mo asked Lu Ming to go to Liaodong in person. Lu Ming was stunned by this news. It took him a while to come to his senses and left silently. Song Mo stood alone in the study for a long time and called Wu Yi in: "I opened the warehouse. I want to pick a few things to give away." The warehouse was suddenly brightly lit. Song Mo picked around inside for a while and asked Wu Yi to take a few things to Dou Zhao. Seeing that what Dou Zhao brought over was a box of gold-painted fans, a throwing pot, and several sets of jigsaw puzzles, he asked curiously: "What is this?" Song Mo said with an indifferent expression: "You take the time to go to the palace in the past two days and give the things to the Crown Princess. . ¡± It would be just right if it were given to the Crown Princess. Dou Zhao hesitated and said, "Are you ready to make friends with the prince?" "No!" Song Mo grinned, "I'm just trying to scare away the enemy!" Dou Zhao was puzzled. Song Mo said softly: "I originally wanted to make peace between the King of Liao and the Prince - no matter who takes the throne, can it be done without the salary of the British Duke? But now, the Queen and the King of Liao are not allowed to have their heads separated. It¡¯s hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart! ¡°We have taken refuge in His Highness at this time and have not made any achievements. It is difficult to become His Highness¡¯ confidants. It would be better to wait until the King of Liao rebels and help His Royal Highness capture the rebel. This is the great achievement of sealing his wife Yinzi. "The fifth uncle and the Jiang family cousins ??are still in the hands of the King of Liao. We can't fall out with the queen at this time, and I believe that the fifth uncle can help the King of Liao succeed after he knows who framed the Jiang family. Instead of letting the fifth uncle and the If the King of Liao rebels, it is better to let the fifth uncle and the King of Liao pretend to be enemies and act as internal agents at the critical moment. His Royal Highness can not only clear the grievances of the Jiang family, but also restore the reputation of the Jiang family. "I have thought about it carefully. The emperor is still alive. , the prince's name is justified, the King of Liao cannot attack Kyoto in a grand manner. In this way, even if he succeeds and the world does not return, it will be difficult for him to secure the throne. If he wants to achieve his goal, he can only go through palace changes. But if you want to have a uterine change. You can't get around Jinwu Guard. "We are close to His Highness the Crown Prince, but we are unwilling to submit to the King of Liao. How can the Queen tolerate me taking charge of the Jinwu Guard? The Emperor has always trusted the Emperor. If the Queen wants to deal with us, we can say that we are unable to guard against it. In this case. We still have It's better to take a preemptive strike and let the Queen take action first. The Emperor has been ill and has low energy in the past few years. Usually people with low energy like to be quiet and don't like to move. As long as the Emperor believes that I am the best person to control the Jinwu Guard, the Queen will do anything. , there is no way to touch me. Maybe her move is too big, and it will arouse the emperor's suspicion. "As long as the Jinwu Guard is in my hands, it is impossible for the King of Liao to hide his rebellion from me. " Dou Zhao smiled and said: "So you asked me to give gifts to the Crown Princess, so that the Queen thought we wanted to curry favor with His Highness. This will cause her to become anxious and take action against you first. From this point of view, I will have to go to the East Palace to sit there often in the future. " "good. "Song Mo smiled slightly, he knew it. His wife was the one who knew him best, "It's best to bring Brother Dong with you. The prince ascends the throne. It's always good for Brother Dong to become familiar with the emperor's grandchildren. " Dou Zhao smiled and nodded, and submitted the post to the palace the next day. For nobles like the British Duke, the prince and his wife were naturally willing to get close. On the third day, Dou Zhao's mother and son were picked up by the servants of the East Palace. The Crown Princess was a little surprised when she received the gift from Dou Zhao, but more than anything, she liked it. A box of gold-painted folding fans was not unusual at all, but the surface of the fan represented the four seasons of the year: peonies in spring and lotus flowers in summer. , the golden chrysanthemums in the winter, the winter plums all are left empty, and the colors are piled on the yarn. It is very exquisite and unique. The throwing pot is neither gold nor wood. You can't tell what kind of material it is. The body of the pot is carved with a circle of kneeling. The beautiful woman in dark clothes is elegant and simple. She looks like an antique from the previous dynasty. The sets of jigsaw puzzles are made of either sandalwood or agarwood. The subtle fragrance floats in your hand, which makes people feel at ease. " It's worrying. "The Crown Princess smiled and asked the female officer next to her to accept the gift. Dou Zhao said respectfully: "I have been taking care of you for a long time. I can't repay you. I just want to show my favor to you. " "You don't have to be polite to me. "The Crown Princess and Dou Zhao were chatting, and someone brought the Third Emperor's grandson over, and let the Third Emperor's grandson and Brother Yuan play on the big kang in the east hall, while she and Dou Zhao talked in the Nuan Pavilion. From the weather this spring, it is possible Being able to wear fashionable hair accessories and clothes are essential skills for ladies. The princess was very interested, and Dou Zhao, who had been born in two generations, had "foresight". The more they talked, the more they became speculative, and finally Dou Zhao drew a few pieces of clothing. After seeing the pattern, she hugged Brother Yuan and left. The princess asked the acupuncture bureau to make two pieces of clothing. The Queen Mother praised her for being a smart person.If you are close to her, she will naturally repay you with kindness and praise Dou Zhao. The Crown Princess praised Dou Zhao very much. Thinking that it would be Queen Wan's birthday in a few days, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "Ask her to come into the palace and cut two clothes for me." After saying this, she thought of Dou Zhao. After all, she is a superb wife of the Crown Prince. There is no reason to be an embroiderer for others. She said frustratedly: "Forget it, I'll let the Acupuncture Bureau do it for me." In order to avoid suspicion, the British Duke and the East Palace both It's bland. If it weren't for Brother Yuan and the Third Emperor's grandson whose birthdays were only one day apart, and the emperor personally named the two children, they wouldn't have dared to move. However, the princess felt that Dou Zhao was a very well-informed person and would not care about these things, so she had someone pass the message on to Dou Zhao. Dou Zhao immediately entered the palace and helped the Queen Mother design several clothes. The Empress Dowager ordered the female officials to pass the drawings to the Acupuncture Bureau, took her hand and said with a smile: "It's hard work!" Dou Zhao said humbly: "I don't dare to take what you say as a concubine. You are waiting for our son-in-law like an elder. It is an honor for our eldest son and my concubine that I can perform filial piety in front of you on behalf of our eldest son. It is hard work.¡± The Queen Mother was very satisfied with her answer and not only rewarded Dou Zhao with two pieces of red gold. I also gave him a jade hairpin, two inkstones from the Song Dynasty and Mo, and a few feet from Brother Yuan. On the day of the Queen's birthday, the Queen Mother's sapphire blue and pink dress made her radiant and dignified, and the Crown Princess deliberately acted as a foil. The Queen Mother's brilliance surpassed that of the Queen who had passed her birthday. The emperor had no feelings about these things. The empress was a little strange, so she sent someone to inquire and found out that Dou Zhao helped the empress dowager to cut the clothes. She just smiled broadly and generously and said, "Mr. Dou, I didn't expect to have such ability." The Crown Princess thought that it would be the Queen Mother's birthday in a few days, so she encouraged the Queen Mother to make matching clothes. When the Queen Mother was a queen, she had to be submissive and virtuous, and she never dared to dress too colorfully. Now that no one is in charge, and the palace is lonely all night long, the Queen Mother suddenly became interested and called Dou Zhao into the palace every now and then. Later, when she learned that Dou Zhao was breastfeeding Brother Yuan himself, he simply asked her to take Brother Yuan with her when she entered the palace, saying, "It's just a good companion for the Third Emperor's grandson." The Crown Princess took the opportunity to take the Third Emperor's grandson to Cining Palace. Play and help the Queen Mother with ideas. Several times, they met the emperor who came to greet the Queen Mother. The emperor looked at the Queen Mother's laughter and the sounds of children. It was a warm and lively atmosphere, and even the Queen Mother's complexion was much better than before. He was very happy and played with Brother Yuan and the Third Emperor's grandson for a while before letting the chamberlain take them down. It is more convenient to enter the palace from Dou Zhao. The Crown Princess and Dou Zhao also got closer. The queen didn't take this to heart. Occasionally she would see Dou Zhao entering the palace and would talk to her affectionately. Dou Zhao smiled at Song Mo and said, "The queen is much more generous than you think. Your plan is ineffective." Song Mo disagreed. Said: "If you can see the queen's emotions, can she still hang out in the palace?" Dou Zhao thought about it and pursed his lips and smiled. Lu Ming returned from Liaodong. Song Mo went to see Lu Ming. Within a few days, Mrs. Jiang from Haozhou said: "It's not that the prince is unwilling to return the things I left behind to the Jiang family. It's that the prince said when he gave these things to the prince, Everything in the world can be obtained by those who are virtuous. The fifth master Jiang is not a person who supports the family. Even if the prince returns the things to the fifth master Jiang, it is just squandered by the fifth master Jiang. It is better to leave it to the prince. " Mo Ye also said something. He said: "I don't want to occupy the things left by my uncle. It's really because the Jiang family only has women and children, and no one is in charge of the overall situation. I am just keeping these things for the Jiang family until the children and grandchildren of the Jiang family grow up. Of course it has to be paid back. "Jiang Baisun's old accounts were uncovered. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbOUT? Dou Zhao asked Song Mo: "Are you forcing the Queen to take action?" Song Mo blinked at her and said, "That's not all." Not long after saying this, they celebrated the Queen Mother's birthday. The whole court came to congratulate you. The British government was invited to attend a family banquet at Cining Palace. Miao Ruosu was very nervous, while Song Han was a little aggrieved. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Out of Song Mo's palace, it was as easy as walking on the ground, but it was as difficult for him to ascend to the sky. Not only that, along the way, no one greeted Song Yichun, Song Mo or even Dou Zhao. Very few people even looked at their couple. They were like Song Yichun and Song Mo's maids, especially when Gu Yu appeared. Finally, his emotion reached its peak. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?The prince didn't even look at his face, so how could he look at Song Han's face? He turned a blind eye to Song Mo and murmured excitedly: "I sold two more big ships. Do you want to take the time to go to the shipyard in Tianjin? The weather is just right these days. You can also take your sister-in-law and Brother Yuan with you." Go." Song Mo was tempted, thought for a while, and said, "I still won't go." Then he looked around and whispered, "I'm investigating the cause of my uncle's death these days, and I can't get away." "Oh!" Gu Yu was a little disappointed. The queen hadn't seen Gu Yu for some days, so she hurriedly called Gu Yu over and said angrily: "Are you still in the dock in Tianjin these days? Is doing business so fun? I think you'd better do something serious! If it's really fun, go Liaodong went to play with your cousin." He then said, "Just sort out the affairs in your hands and hand them over to Yantang." Gu Yu remained silent. The death of Duke Ding was a big taboo. The death of Duke Ding in Song Mocha would only displease the emperor and queen, so he decided to remain silent. (To be continued)
