Cersei·Lannister shook the wine glass in her hand and did not answer Tyrion·Lannister's question. She lowered her eyes slightly and seemed to be thinking about the answer.
Tyrion added, "Cersei, do you think they are reliable? Or do you trust them?"
As soon as the movement in his hand stopped, Queen Regent Cersei took an elegant sip from the wine glass, Summer Wine, and said leisurely, "Why do you ask that?"
As she spoke, her green eyes moved and she continued, "Does father have any other arrangements?"
Tyrion pointed to the letter that was crumpled by her sister on the table and said, "You probably didn't pay attention to it. Our kind father doesn't like obscure expressions..."
Tyrion thought to himself that his elder sister might have been attracted by the content he named Hand of the King, and did not pay attention to other content at all.
Queen Regent Cersei first glanced at brother Dwarf who looked sincere, then put down the wine glass and picked up the letter.
The crumpled letter was opened by Queen Regent Cersei, and she read it with a frown.
Tyrion gently shook the wine glass... Gryn was not as simple as his sister. It was difficult to shake his heart with just tongue. If the Crabb family's tradition was not good for him... He dared to promise the old man Seven that Gryn would give him a nice new explanation right away.
Tyrion took a sip of wine, and his eyes moved... House Stark may be a breakthrough point. If Gryn still sticks to his knight's heart, he should be very uncomfortable now... Just choose to talk to Shataya's Brothel and Gryn, and comfort the little guy by the way.
A lewd smile appeared on Tyrion's face unconsciously, but he quickly reacted and immediately covered it up with alcohol.
"This is all Old Lion's own guess!"
Queen Regent Cersei's voice interrupted Tyrion's thoughts.
"Why does he think that everyone around me has evil intentions? Does he treat me as a fool?"
Tyrion's eyes flashed, and he said softly, "Sister, do you want to listen to my analysis?"
Queen Regent Cersei leaned on the back of the chair, glanced at the humble Dwarf, and nodded her chin slightly.
"He knows that even though your son has only been king for a short time, he has already caused countless troubles. From this, Old Lion speculates that someone has taught our Joffrey bad things."
His nephew, the king, sits on top of Iron Throne and thinks he decides the case justly. If he feels bored, he will hand the case over to Small Council, but if he is interested... no one can stop his absurd judgment, including sister Cersei, who is famous for her willfulness.
For example... a thief was dragged up, and Joffrey ordered the executioner to chop off his hand on the spot in Throne Room; two knights had a dispute over a certain piece of land, please Wanshi asked the king to decide, and Joffrey ordered them to fight in a duel, and ordered them to rest until death; a woman knelt down and begged for the head of a man who had been beheaded for a crime, hoping that his body could be buried intact.,Joffrey said that people who love criminals are also criminals, and the poor woman was dragged into Dungeons by Gold Cloaks; a fat hotel singer was accused of composing a song to mock the late king Robert I, Joffrey found it interesting after listening to the song, so he opened up and announced that obese singers can choose to keep their fingers or tongue, etc.
Tyrion blinked, and the majestic Throne Room became Joffrey's game place.
After a moment of silence, Queen Regent Cersei said, "Tyrion, Joffrey does not lack the advice and opinions of important ministers, but you should also know his character very well. He is a bit stubborn... Now that Joffrey has become the king, he feels that he should do whatever he wants. He feels that the king should not be manipulated by others."
"Iron Throne is a really good chair."
Tyrion sighed with emotion at first, and then said, "Anyone who wears a crown will be confused, not to mention Joffrey is not an adult yet."
Tyrion pointed to the crumpled letter and added, "Our amiable father is looking forward to your performance... My good sister, you are Joffrey's regent."
Queen Regent Cersei stared at brother Dwarf suspiciously for a while and said, "Pycelle and Varys are stupid and cowardly, but they are still obedient."
Tyrion nodded slightly. He had almost figured out the status of Pycelle and Varys in Queen Regent Cersei's heart. He felt that he could win over one of them to his advantage... It was fair and friendly to have one sister and one brother.
Tyrion pondered, "What's going on with that thing Eddard·Stark? I think you should know very well... Letting him Take the Black can reduce a lot of enemies, but Joffrey wants to kill him. Without this change, there is a high probability that there will be no riots."
Queen Regent Cersei's eyes moved slightly, and she frowned and said, "I have carefully warned Joffrey, and according to the plan, I should have spared him, let Stark put on black clothes, and sent him to the Wall of the End.
In this way, not only will future troubles be avoided, but it is also possible to negotiate peace with Winterfell... As a result, Joffrey believes that it is his responsibility to let the audience watch a good show. What can I do?
Ser Ilyn was even more impatient and happily complied without even asking me a question! The Gods bless you, at least the riots of the untouchables did not cause Stark to die on our guillotine."
Tyrion smiled and nodded... Yes! It's all other people's fault, my good sister!
"Have you not found the whereabouts of Eddard·Stark?"
Queen Regent Cersei shook his head.
Tyrion sighed, "Winterfell will still blame us for all this..."
Queen Regent Cersei interrupted angrily, "Why? It's not us who did it?! The murderers are those hateful untouchables!"
Tyrion shrugged and reluctantly changed the subject.
"Then let me ask..."
Tyrion's words were interrupted again by Queen Regent Cersei: "Sansa is also missing."
Tyrion was stunned for a moment, as if to confirm whether he heard correctly. "Miss House Stark?"
Queen Regent Cersei frowned and nodded slightly.
"Haaah!"
Tyrion picked up the wine glass and drank it down, grinning and saying, "The lion and the wolf can only live one... My good sister, we are our father's good children. We have to pray to old man Seven every day that our good father is healthy... My requirements are not high, I just want him to survive until the trouble is solved."
After a pause, he added, "What I said is true. The old father is relatively reliable and can protect his children from trouble. I really want to kiss his shoes religiously now... if he doesn't mind."
Cersei glanced at Tyrion with contempt and said, "I can also protect Lannister from wind and rain. Lioness will destroy all her enemies."
Tyrion actually really want to ask Cersei: This charming sister, why are you doing this? Are you being willful and arrogant?
Tyrion nodded in agreement, showing admiration... He really couldn't pretend!
He smiled slightly and chose to change the subject.
"It must have been Joffrey's own idea to remove Sir Barristan Selmy from Kingsguard?"
Cersei's green eyes trembled slightly, she paused, and she sighed, "Joffrey wanted to find someone to take responsibility for Robert's death, so Varys proposed to have Ser Barristan Selmy operated on. There is nothing wrong with this. On the one hand... Jaime can take over as Kingsguard's captaincy, and got a seat in Small Council's position. On the other hand, Joffrey liked Sandor·Clegane very much, and he also had bones to feed the dogs. We originally planned to reward Selmy with a castle, but the good-for-nothing old man was dissatisfied and expelled him directly."
Tyrion doesn't show it on the face, but deep down there is some sympathy for Tywin, just a little bit of sympathy.
Tyrion said seriously, "Barristan Sir Selmy is Lord Commander of the Kingsguard of Robert I. Among the seven Queensguard of Aerys II, only he and Jaime are alive.
People talk about him like the reincarnation of the princes Savane the Mirror Shield and Aemon the Dragonknight... What do you think they would think if they saw Barristan the Bold fighting side by side with Stannis·Baratheon or Renly·Baratheon?"
Queen Regent Cersei's expression froze. She turned away and looked to the other side. She seemed to like the beautiful vases placed there.
After a pause, she said casually, "I didn't expect this level."
Tyrion's tone was very serious. "Lord Tywin thought of it, so he ordered me to take over his Hand of the King position, put an end to these ridiculous farces, and make your son obedient."
Queen Regent Cersei turned her face away. She looked at her brother Dwarf who had a calm expression, and her tone was sarcastic. "Joffrey doesn't even like to listen to what I say, and he won't listen to you either."
Tyrion shrugged. "That's not necessarily the case, my sister."
Queen Regent Cersei saw that Tyrion was not joking, and said, "Joffrey Why should I listen to you? He doesn't like you."
Tyrion smiled, "To be precise, he hates me very much. Since I was a child, I don't do whatever Joffrey does like others."
He continued, "Why does he dare not listen to you? Because he knows that his mother will never hurt him."
Cersei warned, "Tyrion, if you think I will let you bully my son, then you are hopelessly sick."
Tyrion couldn't help but sigh, Cersei always failed to grasp the point.
"I am Joffrey's uncle. Joffrey is as safe as following you."
With that said, Tyrion climbed out of the chair awkwardly, and he reached out to hold one of Cersei's hands.
"What I mean is that if you make him feel threatened, he will be more obedient. You don't really want to harm him. After all, we are siblings after all, and the current situation is a mess. Whether you admit it or not, you do need me... Your son wants to keep that ugly Iron Chair, and he needs me too."
Queen Regent Cersei lowered his eyes and glanced at her hand and said, "I said I would give you a chance. I believe in Jaime's vision. He said you have always been very smart."
He smiled and said, "It's just a little cleverness. The most important thing is that we Lannister are a family that loves each other and is relatively reliable."
Queen Regent Cersei thought for a while and said, "In that case... it's worth a try. My premise is that you are not allowed to hurt my son."
Tyrion smiled, "Of course, although the way I love him is a little different from yours, my love for Joffrey is no less."
"And..."
Queen Regent Cersei stared at Dwarf Hand of the King, with a cold voice. "Tyrion, you have to remember that although I have accepted you, you are only Hand of the King in name, but actually my Hand of the King. Before you take any action, you must discuss your plans and intentions with me in advance. You are not allowed to act without my consent, is that clear?"
Tyrion nodded slightly. "Cersei Your Majesty, everything is clear."
Queen Regent Cersei Seeing that Dwarf Hand of the King agreed without hesitation, she somewhat doubted his sincerity. She asked, "My brother, do you agree?"
Tyrion caressed her chest and saluted. "Dear sister, Tyrion Hand of the King is at your disposal."
He added silently in his mind: But only when I need it.
Tyrion's smile is very sincere... In order to maintain the relationship between siblings, sometimes a little white lies are needed.
Queen Regent Cersei withdrew the hand held by Dwarf Hand of the King, and she finally showed a look of satisfaction.
"Okay, now that we have the same goal, there should be no more secrets from each other. The Queen Regent Hand of the King cannot be blind."
Queen Regent Cersei was a little impatient. "What do you want to know?"
Tyrion's eyes flashed. "You said Joffrey wanted to chop off Lord Eddard's head, Varys's slander drove Barristan away, then...Jon·Arryn Is it true that Hand of the King was poisoned by his wife Lysa·Tully and Littlefinger?"
Queen Regent Cersei frowned and said, "That's the result of Stark's investigation."
"I recently investigated some things, such as one of the rumors about the King's Landing riot."
Queen Regent Cersei's eyes turned cold. "You are actually interested in the nonsense of those untouchables? I have begun to be a little disappointed in you, my Hand of the King."
Tyrion approached Queen Regent Cersei, and their eyes collided.
"Of course I will be interested... Dear sister, not hearing does not mean it does not exist. For example, the love between you and Jaime..."
Snap!
Before Tyrion could finish speaking, Queen Regent Cersei slapped him directly.
Tyrion rubbed his cheeks and grinned. "Sister Cersei, it's none of my business who you go to bed with, but you only opened your legs to one brother and didn't let the other brother receive the same treatment. This doesn't seem fair..."
Bang! Tyrion got another slap from Cersei.
"Hey... be gentle, Cersei, I'm just joking. To be honest, I would rather find a beautiful girl to play with. I really don't understand what Jaime likes about you besides being able to admire your own reflection."
Bang! Queen Regent Cersei slapped Tyrion again.
Tyrion's cheeks were red and burning, but he still kept smiling.
"Cersei, if you keep hitting me, I will be angry."
"What can you do?"
Tyrion said with a smile, "Of course I am going to complain to my old father."
Tyrion's threat worked. Queen Regent Cersei didn't slap him again, which made him secretly relieved. At the same time, he also thought of many things. He felt a little sympathy for his Jaime brother.
"Dear sister, I am your Hand of the King. I am yours. Even if it is for Jaime, I don't want to talk too much. Besides... my elderly father is already busy enough. As a good son, I must think more about him."
Tyrion very sincerely tried to comfort Queen Regent Cersei's restless heart. He was very worried that if Lioness was cornered, he would be killed and silenced on the spot.
