Empress Dowager + Spoiler

For such a grand wedding scene, while the whole family is looking forward to it, everyone is also talking about it.

After all, looking at the previous dynasties, there has never been a case where an unmarried emperor would openly choose the former emperor's favorite concubine as his wedding candidate.

According to etiquette rules, on the day of the big wedding, although the emperor does not need to personally lead the welcoming team to the woman's home to welcome the bride like other men get married, he still has to send suitable officials to go.

However, now the future queen is no longer the big girl in the boudoir, and the melon-eating crowd watching the excitement are waiting to see how the little emperor will treat his emperor's brother's favorite concubine in front of the world on the day of his wedding. Welcome to Changning Palace.

In this regard, Zhao Sansi did not disappoint the people who eat melons at all.

On the thirteenth day of April, Zhao Sansi announced in front of all civil and military officials in the court hall that he would invite Gu Xizhao out of the Changle Palace, so that Marquis Changping would welcome her back to the mansion as a young lady of the Gu family, ready to be married.

As soon as this remark came out, the commotion caused can be imagined.

What the little emperor said clearly meant to marry Mrs. Gu into the palace with the highest standard etiquette of the real three books and six rituals. He not only wanted to make her a queen, but also wanted to marry her with the real etiquette of a real wife. she.

As for the courtier's objection and other people's rumors, Zhao Sansi didn't care at all, even if Cai Jun tried to persuade him, it was useless.

Regarding the matter of Gu Xizhao, Zhao Sansi was as strong as ever: "The prime minister said that what I did was unreasonable? How could it be unreasonable? Since I made the daughter of the Gu family as the queen, it is reasonable to welcome her in according to the rules after marriage." .”

Although the emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, like other common people, he can only have one official wife, and that is the queen.For the women in the harem, except for the queen, the bride, who can be carried in through the main entrance, Jokhang Gate, and walk into the harem step by step, all other women can only enter the palace through the back door, Mingwu Gate.

It is true that whoever is established as the queen should carry her sedan chair that day, and should come in through the Jokhang Gate.

However, "Madam Gu, it's different."

"It's different, what's the difference?" Zhao Sansi sneered, "Didn't you all know about her different status? Didn't the whole world know about it long ago? In the past, I spared her from being buried with the late emperor, but you didn't stop her; later, I wanted to make her a queen. , you didn’t stop it. Prime Minister, do you think now that I want to marry her into the palace later, you can still stop her?”

I don't know when, the little emperor's soft and cowardly tone in the past became more and more sonorous, and became more and more... uncompromising.

Cai Jun couldn't help being distracted, and raised his head slightly to glance at the person. Looking at the person from his perspective, he saw that the man in the purple-red uniform had his jaw slightly tightened. There was not much emotion in his eyebrows and eyes. angry.

He was obviously someone he saw every day, but when he took a closer look, he felt unexpectedly strange.

Maybe it was because he looked at him blatantly, Zhao Sansi who was being looked at by him frowned impatiently.

Cai Juan hurriedly looked away, the little prince in his memory who had timid and fawning eyes when he first met him, will probably remain in his memory forever.

he thinks.

After a long time, Cai Jun closed his eyes, sighed and said, "I know I can't persuade the emperor."

Zhao Sansi snorted softly, "Then why did the prime minister make such an unnecessary move?"

"There are many things in the world that cannot be done, but the world still wants to do them. Because if you don't try, no one knows whether it is really impossible." Cai Jun smiled helplessly, then looked at her again, "It's like the emperor wants to make Mrs. Gu the next thing. If you don't try, who will believe that this is possible?"

Zhao Sansi was silent for a moment, and then he refuted him seriously, "Those things in the world that can't be done are not in the thing itself, but in the person who is doing it. It is not difficult for a sincere person, but it is difficult for a person." Of course it’s not sincerely wanting to do it.”

The atmosphere instantly became eerily quiet.

Zhao Sansi pursed her lips, her expression seemed sad, but soon she became firm again, "I am sincere in wanting Mrs. Gu. I am sincere in wanting to make her queen. Therefore, I am sincere in marrying her."

"She is the emperor's favorite concubine, I know. I know what you are against. I know how the people will pass it on. But, what does it have to do with you and the people? Even if I am sorry to anyone, only the emperor That's all."

Cai Jun froze on the spot, speechless for a long time, and unable to refute. After pondering for a long time, he half-relieved and half-sighed: "Even if you don't stop talking, the emperor will not change his original intention, and I don't know what to say."

As soon as he let go, Zhao Sansi lost most of her aura. She still respected and trusted the prime minister, Cai Jun, "I am not a person who does not listen to persuasion. I will listen to whatever the prime minister says, but... "

"Well, I got it." No need to think about it, Cai Jun also knew what her last sentence was, and he interrupted her quickly.

He didn't want to hear it, so Zhao Sansi didn't say anything, anyway, her posture was clear and clear, and the prime minister could get in on other things, but no one could get in on the matter of her concubine.

After persuading Cai Jun, Zhao Sansi put aside the advice of other courtiers at ease, refused to listen to the court, refused to read the memorial, and refused to see him... In short, I will stand still, no matter what you say.

Of course, among these courtiers, the face of their future father-in-law has to be given, and the face given is limited to not refusing people's requests to see them.

"The general came to see me today. If it's for a big wedding, then I can avoid it. I still have a lot of papers to review." In order to prove to others that he is really busy, Zhao Sansi specially met Changping Hou in the imperial study. All the notebooks on the desk were confiscated.

Regarding her "reluctant", Changping Hou was very calm, "I know that the emperor doesn't like to listen, but I still want to say, let Gu..."

"I have a question for the general."

"... Your Majesty, please."

"The general is here to see me, is it for you to take care of the family, or is it for me and the future queen?"

"Naturally for the emperor and the future queen."

Zhao Sansi raised his eyes to look at him again, stared at him for a moment, and then said: "The general's words, are you serious?"

"really……"

"Then I'll tell you now, whether it's good for me or the queen, there's no need for the general to worry." Zhao Sansi didn't let him say more, and said to himself, "What the general should worry about right now is, what about the big wedding?" How should the day be arranged so that my queen will not lose her manners and lose her ostentation."

Being robbed of the words, Chang Ping Hou's original preparation was disrupted, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Probably because he was too harsh on his concubine, Zhao Sansi was inexplicably resistant to Changping Hou, his father-in-law, now seeing that he had nothing to say, he was stunned for a while, but on the surface he pretended to be serious and issued the order to expel the guest, and by the way, Qiang Qiang said, "My wedding to the empress is coming soon, I am busy, and the general is also busy, so don't waste your time on these unnecessary trivial matters."

Marquis Changping's lips moved, but he didn't speak.Xiaohui hesitated for a while, and then he resigned aloud.

After coming out of the imperial study, Marquis Changping ran into Gu Xizhao.

Seeing his preoccupied appearance, Gu Xizhao directly invited him into the side hall to speak.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Marquis Changping became serious, "Now the emperor is going his own way in your affairs, and the courtiers can't persuade her. You persuade her from the sidelines. It's already broken the rules to make you queen. Now The emperor still wants to make such a big splash..."

Gu Xizhao lowered her head and listened patiently to him before looking up at him, "All the officials don't listen, why does father think the emperor will listen to his daughter?"

Marquis Changping lowered his voice, "It is said that the emperor listens to your words the most. As long as you have your words, the emperor will definitely restrain himself."

Gu Xizhao frowned slightly, and flicked her thumbnail, "Oh, but my daughter doesn't want to persuade the emperor."

"Why?"

Gu Xizhao smiled, "In my lifetime, my daughter still has the opportunity to dress up and get married, how can I miss it?"

"You..." Marquis Changping seemed to be extremely annoyed by her. He took two deep breaths in front of people and continued: "How can you be so nonsense? Are you not afraid of the spittle of the people and future generations?"

Gu Xizhao smiled slightly, and stood up lightly, "What does that have to do with my daughter? Or is the father actually afraid that his daughter will make the Gu family suffer from the spit?"

"What are you talking about?" Marquis Changping also stood up, "You are the daughter of my Gu family, and the reputation of the Gu family is your reputation, and they are all one..."

Gu Xizhao pursed her lips and casually refuted him, "But the emperor told his daughter that if he becomes her queen, her daughter will be a member of the royal family in the future."

Hearing this, Marquis Changping had an indescribable look on his face, he was stunned for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "Are you getting more and more mischievous?"

Gu Xizhao glanced at him, picked up the teacup on the table and handed it to him, "Father, the emperor has his own ideas in his heart when doing things, and since he has made up his mind, no one can be influenced by just a few words."
