Empress Dowager + Spoiler

Zhao Sansi had never seen such a concubine Xi who had lost all her charm, she was startled at first, until the pain in her ears became clear, then she blinked her eyes stupidly, feeling inexplicably how much the shrew Concubine Xi still had. Very cute.

Gu Xizhao was a little annoyed by her blank gaze, "What are you looking at?"

"The imperial concubine looks good even when she is fierce."

"..." Hitting the cotton with a fist, Gu Xizhao almost couldn't breathe. She wanted to twist it a few more times, but she couldn't help it when she saw the silly expression of the little fool in her eyes, so she let go. Clearing his throat, he continued to speak fiercely: "Be serious, I wish I could reason with you."

"Oh." Zhao Sansi blinked his eyes, and then pushed down the quilt a little bit, revealing his whole face, with an air of listening attentively.

Gu Xizhao really couldn't do anything about her. Looking at the messy hair on top of her head, the pent-up anger disappeared inexplicably, and her tone softened uncontrollably, "I've taken you every day for the past few days. Greetings from your imperial brother, you should also understand the current situation."

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Zhao Sansi's whole face collapsed, and his eyes wandered, and he didn't know where he was looking.

"I know you don't like this lady, but the current situation is like this." Gu Xizhao couldn't bear her appearance, and sighed secretly, "The Zhaohe Palace has been cleaned up, even if you are really sick today , I want to move there too. Besides, according to the principles of ethics, you are my uncle, if the emperor had not approved it, and you are still young, do you think you can live in my Changle Palace?"

Zhao Sansi turned sideways, rolled to the bed, faced Gu Xizhao, and suddenly hugged her waist.

This was so unexpected, Gu Xizhao was stunned for a moment, and then quickly took a look outside. She was relieved when she didn't see her, and she pulled her away calmly, seeing her pitiful appearance, and said "Second Prince!" Be more self-respecting" and pressed back, and then said: "The second prince will grow up, and he will be the king of a country in the future, so he should be brave."

Zhao Sansi shook his head, "Leaving Xuesong Palace, I feel scared everywhere except for the imperial concubine's Changle Palace. I am afraid, imperial concubine."

"From now on, the whole Dazhao will be yours, and all the people in this world will be your people, what are you afraid of?" Gu Xizhao smiled, and when she heard footsteps coming from outside, she stepped back two steps away, "The second prince can't be self-willed anymore. If he still feels uncomfortable after drinking the medicine, I will send someone to invite Imperial Physician Zhang to come over at Chenshi."

Zhao Sansi didn't respond, and seeing Chan'er coming with a medicine bowl, she quietly turned inside, "I don't feel bad anymore, I don't need to take medicine anymore."

Gu Xizhao now also knows that she doesn't like to drink medicine. Seeing her small actions, she wants to laugh, "This herbal medicine is not bitter, but it's just a preventive effect. Drink it quickly."

Zhao Sansi still didn't respond, so Gu Xizhao took the medicine bowl and softly ordered Chan'er to get a few pieces of candied fruit, "If I don't drink this medicine today, I'll take the newly brought milk to take a bath again. I won’t cook it for you to drink. If you are obedient and obedient, I will order the Imperial Dining Room to cook you a bowl of beef jelly every day for your meals in Zhaohe Palace.”

After that, Zhao Sansi turned over and got up, took the medicine bowl, frowned and looked at it, then drank it in one gulp, sticking out his tongue after drinking, with a bitter look, "Your concubine can't lie to me."

little fool.Is the meal of the king of a country still arranged by others?What's more, once Zhao Jin died, where would there be a place for her in the harem?

"I won't lie to you." Gu Xizhao's expression was slightly restrained, seeing that it was getting late, she didn't stay any longer, "Don't be self-willed, now that the news of your emperor's brother's serious illness is known to everyone, the concubines in the harem They are all restless, I am too busy with those things."

"En." Zhao Sansi had a piece of candied fruit handed over by Cicada in his mouth. Seeing that Gu Xizhao was about to leave, he puffed up his cheeks and said vaguely: "Concubine, I will live in Zhaohe Palace in the future, and I can still come to Changle Palace to look for it." You?"

The little prince has entered the East Palace, and I'm afraid that various trivial matters will follow one after another. Gu Xizhao glanced at her, smiled without saying a word, and told Chan'er to take good care of her, and then left.

As soon as Gu Xizhao left, Chan'er couldn't help but complained: "The second prince will talk to the empress in the future, it's better to be born a little bit, if this is heard by others, I'm afraid they will think that the empress and you..."

"Huh? What with me?"

This pretended to be stupid, and when Chan'er saw that she had finished eating the piece of candied fruit, she gave her another piece, and said in a low voice: "My servant knows that the empress is beautiful, and you may search all over Dazhao in the future, but you will not be able to find a concubine who is the same as the empress." Comparable people come out, but the empress is the emperor's favorite concubine, it's useless for the second prince to like her..."

Zhao Sansi, who is not yet in love: "..." What is this person talking about?Of course she knew that the noble concubine was her imperial brother's favorite concubine, and her eldest sister-in-law was like a mother, so why was her liking useless?

Chapter 13

According to etiquette, the procedures for establishing a reserve are complicated. Before the edict is officially promulgated, Zhao Jin needs to go to the Fengxian Hall to worship the ancestors in person, and send envoys to the Temple of Heaven and the Taimiao to worship the heaven, earth and ancestors. On the auspicious day when the canon is established, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Rites, in the four corners of the southeast and northwest, each worships, and then the officials of the ceremony will hold the festival and announce it in front of the princes and ministers, and then the officials of the Ministry of Rites will go to the Meridian Gate to read the imperial edict.

However, Zhao Jin is now frail and frail, so the ceremony of establishing the crown prince is naturally simple.After the morning court was over, Zhao Jin sent people to the Temple of Heaven and Taimiao to pay homage to heaven and earth and Zhao's ancestors, and at the same time ordered Shen Yi to go down to make arrangements. Taking advantage of today's auspicious day, the edict and canonization ceremony will be held together.

The old-fashioned veteran looked at Zhao Jin's stewed style, and bluntly said that he was not in harmony with etiquette, which broke the rules of his ancestors.

Zhao Jin also knew that the canonization ceremony was rushed, but his body would not be able to last long. In the past, although the imperial brother had the name of a prince, he was not the real prince. Witness, once he dies, some ungrateful ministers will definitely start to move again.

Therefore, he couldn't care about those etiquettes, and he didn't bother to waste much time talking about these old-fashioned veterans, so he directly sent Li Zhongxian to Changle Palace to announce the decree with the prince's dress that the Shangyi Bureau rushed to make day and night.

Gu Xizhao was well prepared and brought Zhao Sansi to the main hall to wait for the order.

Li Chu’s imperial edict was carefully worded. To Zhao Sansi, she was confused by the literary stuff. After kneeling on the ground and listening for a long time, she only understood Li Zhongxian’s last few words: "... The disease is fierce, and the chances of thinking about the country cannot last for a long time. I hereby order the emperor's younger brother to hold the seal to ascend the Zhaohua Palace, to divide the affairs of the general affairs, and to supervise the country. Second prince, please accept the order, change into a good dress, and go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony with the servants Listen to the seal."

Zhao Sansi looked at the apricot-yellow crown robe held in the hand of the little eunuch behind Li Zhongxian, still a little dazed, hesitated for a moment, then turned his head to look at Gu Xizhao, and asked blankly: "Your concubine, I want to be the emperor Are you a brother?"

Gu Xizhao nodded slightly, and unconsciously clenched her hands under the sleeves, she was afraid that this little fool would be taken aback and would not accept the imperial edict.

"Second Prince, please accept the order." Zhao Sansi did not get up to accept the order for a long time, Li Zhongxian frowned slightly, and reminded him again.

As if Zhao Sansi just came back to his senses, he kowtowed again to thank him, then got up, and took the imperial decree from Li Zhongxian's hands with both hands.

"My servant congratulates His Highness." As soon as she received the imperial decree, Li Zhongxian saluted her. Although he said it was a congratulations, he did not see any joy in his expression, and his tone was not flattering. He did not wait for Zhao Sansi to reply. Standing up, he winked at the little eunuch who was wearing a gown beside him, and then bowed to look at Gu Xizhao, "I also ask the empress to send someone to help His Highness change clothes. The emperor and all the ministers are waiting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

Gu Xizhao nodded lightly, then ordered Chan'er to greet Li Zhongxian to go to the side hall for tea, and she personally took Zhao Sansi to the wing room of the side hall to change clothes.

The crown prince's dress is very particular, from the headdress to the waist decorations are different from the past, Li Zhongxian waited for two cups of tea in the side hall before seeing Gu Xizhao bring Zhao Sansi out.

Li Zhongxian was stunned for a moment when he saw the well-dressed little prince. His impression of the second prince was still the same as the one he saw in the Cedar Palace with sauce on his lips. Now he saw her wearing a pearl crown. , dressed in an apricot-yellow boa robe, his thin and small face seemed to be a bit more attractive, although his pair of peach blossom eyes were still shy, but against the backdrop of brocade clothes, he seemed to be able to see it from the familiar eyebrows. It's the shadow of today's saint when he was named prince in the past.

Li Zhongxian quickly came to his senses after being a poor person in the palace for so many years, his face relaxed a little, and his attitude toward Zhao Sansi also became respectful, "Your Highness, please come with your servants. "

Zhao Sansi nodded, and wanted to raise her hand to touch the bright pearl on her head, but when she saw Gu Xizhao looking straight at her from the corner of her eye, she quickly retracted her hand.The crown on the top of her head was inlaid with bright pearls. It was the first time she wore such a thing, but she felt it was unbearably heavy. She was not used to it at all, and she always wanted to reach out and touch it uncontrollably.
