Empress Dowager + Spoiler

Gu Xizhao just mentioned it casually, she didn't answer, so she didn't say much, and lay down beside her, "It's already very late, you have to get up early tomorrow, go to bed early."

As soon as she lay down, Zhao Sansi moved into her arms and found a comfortable position, then yawned lazily, rubbed his eyes and said, "I'm really sleepy, then I won't talk to the imperial concubine tonight." .”

Gu Xizhao remained silent, gently patted her on the back, and coaxed her to sleep.

The warm embrace is easy to sink, it is safe and warm, the comfortable feeling permeates all the limbs, Zhao Sansi's whole body feels limp, and when he closes his eyes, he falls asleep very quickly.

Hearing the gradually calming breathing, Gu Xizhao's stiff body slowly relaxed, lowered her head and kissed Zhao Sansi's hair, looked at the top of the bed, sighed softly, and then closed her eyes.

Chengqian Palace.

Ever since Duan Fei came back alone, Li Zhongxian has not stopped talking, "Guard Duan, why are you so confused? The emperor said that she won't come back, so you won't let her come back. Something went wrong tomorrow morning. what to do?"

Duan Fei was upright, "I dare not disobey the emperor's words."

Li Zhongxian choked so hard that his lungs ached, "As a courtier, you should be loyal to the emperor, but the emperor is obviously messing around today, you should persuade him."

Duan Fei glanced at the cherry in his hand, and couldn't help but snorted softly, "Didn't Director Li ask me to help the emperor cover and escort him to Changle Palace?"

Li Zhongxian said anxiously: "... Guard Duan, don't talk nonsense, our family has never said such a thing to you."

Duan Fei grabbed his hand holding the cherry, and taunted: "Elder-in-law, isn't the cherry just short-handed?"

Li Zhongxian was angry, but he was speechless.After a moment of silence, he persuaded worriedly: "Tonight's matter has already become like this. We are not the same. Don't blame anyone, but we have to be strict. If the prime minister finds out, we will not get good results." eat."

Duan Fei agrees, "As long as the father-in-law doesn't let go, this matter will not get out tonight."

"What does Duan Shiwei mean by this? It seems that our family is the kind of person who can't tell the truth." Li Zhongxian was dissatisfied, "Is our family the kind of person who can't tell the importance?"

"It's a good thing for Director Li to be able to hold onto it. You'd better think carefully about how to bring the emperor back from Changle Palace tomorrow without making a sound." Duan Fei didn't want to argue with him, so after finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to go out.

"Hey, hey, guard Duan." Li Zhongxian quickly pulled him back, "Now that the dawn is getting earlier and earlier, how can our family quietly bring the emperor back from Changle Palace? Our family is old, and we can't compare to Guard Duan's ears." Eight directions, six directions with eyes..."

Duan Fei wanted to ignore it, but after thinking about it, he was still uneasy, "Forget it, it will be half past Yinshi tomorrow, let's go pick him up together."

Regarding Duan Fei's ability, Li Zhongxian is still at ease.With his promise, she felt relieved, smiled and shared a cherry with Duan Fei, "It's better to be happy alone than to be happy with others. The emperor is kind to our family. He rewarded six and gave one to Guard Duan."

Duan Fei glanced at him, nodded his stomach, smiled half a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your kindness, but the emperor is also kind to me, and rewarded me with a few."

Li Zhongxian suppressed his smile, "The emperor is really generous."

"Isn't it?" Duan Fei echoed, and at the end he kindly reminded, "By the way, Mr. Li, please take it easy, these cherries are sweet, don't sweeten your old teeth."

Li Zhongxian: "..."

Li Zhongxian and Duan Fei provided cover before, and Gu Xizhao and Chan'er helped later. In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Sansi, who was not worried at all, naturally went to the morning court in a refreshed manner.

As the saying goes, the first time is born and the second time is cooked.With a group of helpers, Zhao Sansi no longer has to climb a dog hole when he goes to Changle Palace.But because of Li Zhongxian's earnest persuasion, she was embarrassed to run to Changle Palace every day, and only dared to run every now and then.

The former dynasty had no state affairs to worry about, and the women in the latter dynasty were also considered stable. Except for the occasional lectures by the prime minister and the grand tutor, Zhao Sansi felt that being an emperor was easy, and his life was so peaceful.

It wasn't until the middle of May, when Princess Mingshao brought little Huai'an King into the palace, that the peaceful palace became noisy.

Princess Mingshao was born to Emperor Gaozong's favorite concubine, precious concubine, but precious concubine's beauty was unlucky. Princess Mingshao died when she was less than five years old. After that, she was fostered under the knee of Empress Huixian, who had only Zhao Jin at her knee. A son, after he was crowned as the crown prince, didn't have much time to be with her, so the excess maternal love was transferred to Princess Mingshao. Although he was not a serious first-in-law princess, his consumption of food and clothing was no different from that of a first-in-law princess.

Before she got married, the princess was very beautiful in the palace.This is the jewel in the palm of the royal family, and the son-in-law will definitely choose the dragon and phoenix.Speaking of which, the current Princess Mingzhao's son-in-law is still somewhat involved with this Princess Mingshao.

Princess Mingshao is only one year younger than Princess Mingzhao. Back then, the two princesses were old enough to be married. Emperor Gaozong saw the promising future of the new champion Lu Ke, and originally wanted to recruit him as Princess Mingshao's son-in-law. Princess Mingshao didn't pay much attention to Lu Ke at that time and refused, so Emperor Gaozong made a retreat and recruited Lu Ke as Princess Mingzhao's son-in-law.

In the second year of Princess Mingzhao's marriage, Emperor Gaozong celebrated his birthday, and King Huai'an brought his son to Beijing to celebrate his birthday.At the banquet, Princess Mingshao personally presented the ancient birthday celebration dance to Emperor Gaozong.The name of this ancient birthday celebration dance "Qianqiu" is only sporadically recorded in ancient books and classics. Princess Mingshao adapted it herself. Unfortunately, the musicians in the palace don't understand ancient music, so she doesn't have silk music to match her dance.

While she was dancing on the drums in the quiet hall, Prince Huai'an went straight to the guqin and played an ancient music for her.

Together with the ancient music, Princess Mingshao's dance steps are even more moving. When Yingying looked at each other, she was moved.

The King of Huai'an is a king with a different surname, and he is also an orphan of the former royal family. The Emperor Taizu, as a show of kindness, named the prince who voluntarily surrendered as the King of Huai'an. Although the throne is hereditary, the fiefdom is not large, and he cannot build his own army. He was just an idler with a noble status. By the time of Emperor Gaozong, the previous dynasty had already become a thing of the past, and the existence of King Huai'an was even more embarrassing.

Emperor Gaozong was unwilling.

However, Princess Mingshao was determined not to marry unless she was a king, so Princess Mingshao's marriage has been so stalemate. After two years, Princess Mingshao is already a seventeen-year-old girl. It shouldn't be.

Although Princess Mingshao married happily, she didn't know that Emperor Gaozong and Empress Huixian were also disappointed in her.Huainan King is no longer a threat, but the remnants of the former prince must always be guarded against. The marriage of their most honorable princess is undoubtedly a boost to them.

Before Emperor Gaozong died, he repeatedly told Zhao Jin that the married daughter was thrown out, and that Princess Mingshao should be guarded against the Xiao family in the future.

In the former dynasty, the surname Xiao was the surname of the royal family.

Although his own mother treated this imperial sister as her own daughter, Zhao Jin did not treat her as a younger sister of the same mother. Instead, she was proud of Princess Mingshao's doting and domineering behavior, which displeased him very much. The affection is not deep.

With Emperor Gaozong's last words, after he succeeded to the throne, he was even more indifferent to this imperial sister. In the future, every year and festival, he would return to Beijing because of the long journey, so he refused Princess Mingshao's request to return to the palace to visit relatives.

Although Princess Mingshao noticed something, she didn't really care.It was probably because she had received too much love and favor in the first half of her life, and getting married became a turning point in her life. After she got married, both the Prince of Huai'an and his son died of illness one after another, leaving only the youngest son who was less than three years old.

After the death of Prince Huai'an and his son, Zhao Jin showed a little more sympathy for the imperial sister, and rebuilt a luxurious princess mansion on the fief of Huai'an for her, so that the young son who was less than three years old directly took over the title of King Huai'an, and every year and festivals in the future , will send someone to send some things over there.

In the eyes of others, they think that this Princess Mingshao is still honorable, and even Princess Mingshao thinks so. Facing Zhao Sansi, the emperor's younger brother who came out of nowhere, it is quite disrespectful. The person in front of him is the emperor, and when he came to pay his respects for the first time, he just blessed his body.

Shao, beautiful.

Princess Mingshao is indeed as she is titled, with a graceful figure and a bright appearance.

However, Zhao Sansi didn't like this imperial sister who had been favored so much, maybe there was an element of bitterness, after all, they all had the same father, but this elder sister was treated like a jewel, and she was like a grass of.

However, Zhao Sansi will not admit it, she doesn't like this imperial sister, she just thinks this imperial sister's appearance is too gorgeous, whether it is the narrow and long red phoenix eyes, or the thin lips, it gives people a bad feeling The sharp feeling of getting along.

Facts have proved that Zhao Sansi did not misunderstand her imperial sister. Look at this high-ranking posture, she can just kneel down and salute, but she got up without waiting for her to say no.
