The Qinghe County Lord of the Red Chamber

The Empress Dowager Shang held a cup of brown medicine in her hand, blowing it gently to cool it down.

The Supreme Emperor was helped up by the palace servants, feeling weak and short of breath, coughed twice before asking: "What do you think about the marriage?"

Empress Dowager Shang smiled: "Concubine and harem woman, what insight do you have?"

Seeing that the Supreme Emperor was still staring at her, he slowly said: "You cherish the lives of the soldiers, and you want to avoid the disaster of resorting to war, so you want to end this war with peace."

"The emperor is planning for our country's prestige, for his subjects and common people, and vows to avenge this country, and he is even more unwilling to give up an inch of land."

"You all have reason, and my concubine can only persuade you father and son not to argue, so how can you know right or wrong?"

The Empress Dowager's eyes were cloudy, looking at the Empress Dowager Shang's face, he suddenly said: "Speaking of marriage - your business is also a family of officials, and you also have a daughter who is waiting to be married."

"You have always understood righteousness. Shang Duo's daughter has been raised by you for many years, so she should be good. She can take on important responsibilities."

"This marriage matter, if you really pick an ignorant daughter to go over, it's useless."

After finishing speaking, observe the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager Shang showed a look of astonishment, and then her hand shook, and even the medicine bowl fell to the ground, smashing to pieces.

All the maids in the palace panicked to tidy up.

Empress Dowager Shang got up, knelt down and begged with tears: "I have never had a daughter in my life, but I have raised Chanchan's child for several years, and I have already treated it as my own daughter."

"Pray for the grace of the Holy Spirit..."

However, the Supreme Emperor changed his gentle attitude towards the Queen Mother these days, and just frowned, emphasizing his tone: "Is this what you can say as the Queen Mother?

How many families in the court rushed to serve the country and reported their own daughters.However, you abolished the public for personal reasons and interceded for your niece.How did the subjects guess the royal family? "

"I see that you haven't accepted your niece into the palace for some time, so let's take her in now and ask the nanny and the maid to teach her the rules. Let's prepare first."

The Empress Dowager Shang wanted to beg again, but the Supreme Emperor had already turned his head away: "Kneel down."

Seeing the Holy Mother and Empress Dowager kneeling and weeping, she could hardly get up.The palace attendants at the side quickly stepped forward, carefully helped the Empress Dowager Shang up, and sent her all the way to the sedan chair.

However, the Empress Dowager Shang, who got into the sedan chair, changed her sad expression just now, and raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

His face was icy cold.

At this time, the Supreme Emperor asked the personal eunuch beside him: "How did she look when she went out?"

The old eunuch hurriedly said: "Your Majesty dare not cry loudly in front of the old sage, but this journey is just choking, and you can't walk even if you cry."

Seeing the empress dowager's expression moved, the eunuch cautiously persuaded him: "Why did the old sage scare the empress dowager? Didn't you write down the decree and plan to let a girl from Rongguo Mansion make a princess to marry her?

The servant has been with you for many years. To put it bluntly, during the days when you were sick, the Empress Dowager was really in a state of undress, serving day and night. Anyone who saw her would respect her. Even the saint you admired a lot. "

"Besides, the empress dowager only has such a niece from her natal family. Isn't this breaking the empress's heart?"

The Supreme Emperor sighed and said: "She has always been a good person, and I don't want to embarrass her."

"It's just that the emperor is abominable. He has been on the throne for a long time. Seeing that I am seriously ill, I feel more worried!"

"This time I suffered such a big loss in Fujian, and I still don't know how to repent, and I want to fight again!"

Even the old eunuch couldn't help thinking: If it weren't for Zhen Yingjia, there would be no battle to fight in Fujian.You still haven't blamed Zhen Yingjia, why did you blame the emperor?

Of course, the eunuch just buried his head deeply, not daring to show any strange color.

I heard the Supreme Emperor continue: "Nan Shao and Nan Wo are small countries, but they just want a few cities and some face. I married the princess and got married. I gave enough face, and they knew it was good and accepted it. "

"The emperor held back all his strength and insisted on confronting me, and forced the courtiers to write letters against my marriage proposal."

"Heh, I don't know, among them, Shang Duo followed the emperor up and down. If so, I want to lock his daughter in the palace to make him feel afraid."

"As for her..." After all, the Supreme Emperor still loves the Empress Dowager Shang.

He sighed again: "It's inevitable to be scared like this. Even Zhongyong, who only knows how to play, cried and begged me for his daughter. What's more, she has raised a businessman's daughter for several years."

"I know that she is the most affectionate. I remember that one of her cats died, and she was so sad that she didn't show her face for several months."

The Supreme Emperor remembered the past when he was young, with a trace of nostalgia on his face.

But this gentleness is also fleeting, and he continued: "But it's good that the queen mother loves the merchant girl.

If she knew she was afraid, she would have gone to persuade the emperor to pick someone else to marry and save her own niece.It saves my tongue with that rebellious son. "

The old eunuch hurriedly kowtowed: "The old sage is wise."

Then he turned around and conveyed the wise decision of the Supreme Emperor to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager Shang.

Although in the hearts of the masters, the life of an eunuch like him is worthless, but he himself cares about his own life!

Seeing that the emperor is going to die, of course he has to use the name certificate to change the family.

In Fengjing Palace, the Empress Dowager Shang couldn't see Cai Cai's gaffe just now, she was even in the mood, and put a bright red chicken blood jade bracelet on her wrist.

She nodded: "Grandpa Chen told Ai's family about it because he had a heart."

However, old eunuch Chen suddenly trembled.

What did he hear?Empress Dowager Shang's self-proclaimed name is not Bengong, but Aijia!

Bi Zhu who was beside Empress Dowager Shang didn't seem to have heard of it, and just took a purse and handed it to Eunuch Chen.

He quickly waved his hands: "I dare not ask for the reward from the Holy Mother and Empress Dowager, my slave, my slave only wants to survive." At the end of the speech, he had already started to kowtow desperately.

Empress Dowager Shang seemed to disappear, until he kowtowed a few times before saying: "Okay, leave a mark on the forehead, what can I say when I go back later."

"The Ai family just wanted to save your life, so they gave you this purse."

Eunuch Chen took it with trembling hands, and found that the contents in the purse were not the silver notes or gold he thought, but three small pills.

His hands were about to shake again, but Bi Zhu said: "Elder-in-law hold your hand steady, this is something to save your life."

"The Taishanghuang's meal has always been tried by the father-in-law. From tomorrow, the father-in-law will take one pill every day before lunch."

Bi Zhu smiled kindly: "This is the grace of the Empress Dowager."

Eunuch Chen stared straight at the three black pills, took a while to put them in his arms, kowtowed and said: "I thank the Queen Mother for your kindness."

After he left, Bizhu asked: "Isn't your mother afraid that he will betray us?"

Empress Dowager Shang took a sip of the ginseng soup next to her: "First, he wants to survive. Second, it doesn't matter if he gave this medicine to the Supreme Emperor, it's just an ordinary honey pill."

Bizhu was startled.

Empress Dowager Shang smiled: "How can the Ai family do things like giving others a handle, not to mention the pill, even the emperor's lunch is fine."

"As for the simmered tofu with mackerel and crab roe in chicken soup that we have been preparing for a long time, it will be delivered by Aijia himself as the Supreme Emperor's supper in the past two days."

Bizhu knelt down with a "puff": "The Supreme Emperor's supper is always served with the empress, and the empress always eats it first."

In order to gain the trust of the Empress Dowager, except for the eunuchs who tried the dishes for the main meals, the other snacks and medicines served by the Empress Dowager Shang would be tasted first by themselves.

That's why the Supreme Emperor trusted her especially.

Empress Dowager Shang reached out to help her up herself: "One mouthful is fine. Besides, hasn't the Ai family been drinking this ginseng soup these days?"

The Empress Dowager Shang still had the usual smile on her lips.

This smile, she has practiced in the deep palace for decades, even the curvature is exactly the same.

She told Bizhu: "You go out of the palace yourself and bring Chanchan in. Also, you must tell the Marquis of Baoning the news that the Supreme Emperor intends to let Chanchan go to marry her."

"The meaning of the Supreme Emperor is nothing more than to frighten me and Shang Duo. After a husband and wife, Aijia will fulfill his last wish."
