The empress was not pregnant for a long time, but the emperor was determined not to expand the harem. These rumors soon became the talk of the people in the imperial city.

Some people say that the queen is jealous and does not allow the emperor to accept the imperial concubine even if she does not have a life. Some people say that her majesty is only in love and does not want to hurt the couple's feelings. There is another saying that everyone knows it well and never dares to say it.

But the people dare not say that the courtiers have to remonstrate. On the first morning of the new year, several old courtiers remonstrate together and ask your majesty to accept more concubines.

Xue tingji, unconventionally, did not reprimand, but chose to be silent. The old ministers thought that his Majesty was worried about the queen, and immediately advised Pei Ming that he should have the magnanimity of his mother.

Pei Ming is amused by this. When is she not generous? If you want to accept the imperial concubine, you can't wait for my palace. You don't have to blame my palace alone, but I still remember When the prince Xue Tingying was deposed, there were many concubines, right

Once the Manchu Dynasty was dead, the ministers did not forget why the Emperor gave up the prince who had Bai family as his backing and chose to let the exiled sixth Prince return to the imperial city.

Because the prince is infertile.

And what does the queen mean? Seriously Your majesty, is he childless?

A few days later, the palace leaked a more surprising story. Your majesty ordered the imperial doctor to dispense medicine for the queen. Every time she took it, the queen made a lot of trouble.

Some of the servants even heard the Queen's cry. It's not her fault. Why should she bear it.

In this way, Liu Ling, of course, heard the rumor, and doubted it, so he secretly went to one of Pei's soldiers to inquire.

The soldier really knew something. "In fact, it's no surprise that you're suspicious. For a while, you're afraid that the Pei family will be successful. For a while, you're afraid that the empress won't love him. When you were the crown prince, you wanted to split up the Pei family. Our empress was too strong, so we went to the north and refused to get married."

Liu Ling knew about it, but he still couldn't believe it. "Isn't your majesty and empress in a good relationship?"

The general smacked his lips, "how to say, when they are good, they want to have half of the world. It's not the first time that they quarrel with each other, and they want to die."

With misgivings, Liu Ling asked his grandfather for advice. Liu Zhaoxing thought for a long time, and finally pondered, "exposing the emperor's infertility in the court, this time it hurts the root, but no matter what, we have to cling to the queen. After all, she controls the Pei family army, which is the most important thing to rely on."

And he dare to assert that the contradiction between the emperor and empress will become more and more fierce, they just want to take advantage of this time, firmly catch the queen, let her willingly, oh no, ask him Liu to help her!

Soon, his guess became true. After running back to his mother's home again, Pei Ming suddenly ordered to reward Pei Jiajun.

We didn't know why. We didn't even dare to be happy. Then there was an imperial edict to withdraw the Queen's reward.

However, it was not long before the Queen's edict was lowered again. She wanted to reward her. What could the emperor do with her? If she had the ability, she would be abandoned, and then she would be the general of the town!

In the end, although the emperor compromised, he took a very tough attitude to take back the queen. After returning to the palace, there was another quarrel.

Later, another big thing happened.

The queen was put under house arrest in Taiji palace.

When your Majesty was the crown prince, he was extremely suspicious and paranoid of the crown princess. They had been estranged for a long time. It's no secret. Today's absurd behavior is just hard to change in the eyes of outsiders.

The empress refused to let go of her military power all the time, which made her majesty more and more angry, and aggravated her dissatisfaction with the empress because of her infertility.

The ministers couldn't watch the emperor and empress break up, so they tried to persuade the empress to delegate power. Even the outspoken Zhengzheng had to give good advice.

The Queen's answer was only one sentence: "he has treated me like this. How dare I delegate power?"

Then he burst into tears and murmured, "you don't know what kind of life I live every day. He is a beast!"

The ministers couldn't help but sympathize with the queen. How did a couple become like this.

However, after wiping away the tears in front of people, Pei Ming turned around and was very happy. Of course, they didn't know how happy they were when they were "trapped" in the Taiji palace every day. They were just tired.

The happiest thing is Xue tingji. Normally, the empress is busy, so she has no time to accompany him. Now she is happy. She can feel happy with him every day, no matter day or night.

It's said that when the emperor and empress quarreled with each other, they were right. For example, when Pei Ming couldn't stand his endless quarrel, he really did a good job.

Later, even Dr. Zhang couldn't see it any more. He took advantage of the opportunity to deliver the medicine openly and honestly, and earnestly begged his majesty to be restrained. Otherwise, the appearance of overwork would be seen by foreign ministers.

In a word, Pei Ming was so ashamed that he had to kick Xue Ting out of the Dragon bed.

Because of the grievance, Pei's generals couldn't sit still. A group of generals came forward one after another to ask his majesty to lift the ban on the queen.

Fed up with the devastation, the empress immediately goes out of the palace and runs back to Pei's house. She is crying in her house. Feng's name is heartache. Just as she is ready to comfort her, Pei Ming holds her down and inserts a note in secret.Originally, it would be more true to keep it from her, but Pei Ming was afraid that his mother was too worried, so he had to explain half truely. His mother must not let them lose all their previous achievements.

Fortunately, Feng was a smart man. Although he thought this game was ridiculous, he cooperated very well.

Originally, according to Xue tingji and Pei Ming's assumption, Liu should patiently wait for a few days to be exposed. Unexpectedly, they were impatient and came to visit Pei's house that afternoon to comfort the empress.

At first, Pei Ming didn't get their feelings, but Liu Ling was very good at talking and hit the nail on the head and talked about the key point now.

"Do you still have feelings for your majesty? Your Majesty must be reluctant to give up, but it's not a long-term plan to compromise in this way. She should plan more for herself. "

It's done!

Pei Ming sneered to himself, but he was still helpless on the surface. "Do you think I don't know? But what's the use of holding military power? He is the emperor, and he can be above me in any case. "

Liu Ling arched his hand with a smile, "dare to ask the empress, have you ever seen the emperor coerce and pressure the white queen before?"

A word awakens the dreamer, Pei Ming suddenly brightens his eyes, but in his heart he disdains the emperor. How does he know that he has only been in the imperial city for a few months? It's the same as if I was a servant in the palace.

But Liu Ling's reaction was exactly what she wanted. She deliberately smashed the tea cup in anger and said, "be presumptuous! How dare you compare my palace to that poisonous woman? Are you accusing me that the Pei family is destroyed just like the Bai family? "

Liu Lingsi was not afraid of her anger. She knelt down calmly and spoke slowly.

"Empress Bai has a bad mind. Naturally, there is nothing good in her family. But for the sake of the country and the people, what you think about is the integration of the country and the country, and the family is full of loyal people. How can Bai be compared with you.

But then again, the White Queen is clearly a wicked woman, and the emperor has no deep affection for her, but she lives much more freely than you. Is that fair? "
