Jinyiwei factory flower base love story

The scale of the Compassionate Palace is grand, second only to the Qianqing Palace in the Daqi Palace, and it is the residence of the empress dowagers of all dynasties. The outside is carved with gold and jade, and the inside is magnificent.

Wan Zhen and Gu Huaiqing walked in under the leadership of Zi Kui, and met a beautiful woman wrapped in a fox fur cloak coming out of it, followed by a tall and strong nun.

Gu Huaiqing recognized this as the Empress Dowager's niece Liang Wan and the Empress Dowager's personal nanny Wang Shi.Liang Wan showed the demeanor of a noble lady, she nodded lightly to Gu Huaiqing and the others, and without saying a word, she went straight into the back hall.

Stepping into the main hall of the Compassionate Palace, amidst the eunuch's shrill singing, layers of curtains were drawn one after another, and the glazed bead curtains were slowly rolled up. A lady in full costume was reclining lazily on the couch of the imperial concubine. It was the Empress Dowager Liang. Shi.She is wearing an apricot yellow woven four-fold Ruyi cloud pattern double-breasted shirt, a dark blue woven multicolored cloud and dragon pattern Xiapi, a red Baiziju garment inside, and a double phoenix swallow crown, surrounded by pearls and emerald flowers, and a thin pearl chain hanging from the side. , the lower part is yellow satin inlaid with emeralds and wiped the forehead, which is born with majesty and dignity.

Behind the Empress Dowager Liang stood a court lady in pink, named Su He, who was beating the Empress Dowager's shoulder lightly with her powder fist.Another court lady, Qing Gui, in Tsing Yi, knelt at the Empress Dowager's feet and kneaded her calves.Zi Kui and Bai Zhi stood on both sides with their arms down, waiting for orders at any time.

Empress Dowager Liang is only in her thirties this year. She has been pampered and well-maintained all year round. She looks about 25 or [-] years old. She may have just woken up with a bit of sleepiness on her face. full.

The Empress Dowager Liang was not the late emperor's original concubine, who died of illness 20 years ago.Empress Dowager Liang, whose real name is Liang Qing, was the daughter of a seven-rank county magistrate. She was drafted into the palace in the tenth year of Ming Yuan. Finally ascended to the throne of queen.

Empress Dowager Liang also had a son in her early years, but unfortunately died when she was seven years old. She chose a prince who had no foundation and mother and concubine died early among the princes of the late emperor. Cultivated, and later successfully established as the prince.After the death of the first emperor, Xiao Jing ascended to the throne logically, and Liang was also promoted to empress dowager, becoming the most honorable woman in the harem of Daqi.

In the harem, the most noble woman is not the empress, because the empress still has the risk of being abolished. Only the empress dowager's status is unbreakable. I have never heard of the empress dowager being abolished. Therefore, it can be said that the empress dowager Liang is a well-deserved life winner.

Of course, the winner in life, Queen Mother Liang, may not have no regrets.Although Xiao Jing called her queen mother in name, it didn't come out of her stomach after all.Ever since Xiao Jing ascended the throne as the emperor and began to rule in person, she gradually wanted to get rid of her relatives and implement a new policy. However, the Queen Mother Liang has been in business for many years. The New Deal violated their vested rights and was also opposed by the Liang family, so the contradiction between the emperor and the queen mother gradually emerged.

However, Empress Dowager Liang bears the title of mother-in-law after all, even if Xiao Jing felt dissatisfied, he could not go past her because of filial piety and etiquette.Moreover, Empress Dowager Liang is young and in her early thirties, so one can imagine how many years Xiao Jing still has to endure.

However, Xiao Jing is not a soft persimmon at the mercy of others.As early as when she was the crown prince, the Empress Dowager Liang intended to give her niece Liang Wan to Xiao Jing as the princess concubine, but Xiao Jing privately begged the late emperor to marry him the Zhang family who was of ordinary background and appearance. The reason was that Zhang's father During a hunting trip, he sacrificed his life in order to save Xiao Jing. It was only natural for Xiao Jing to repay his kindness and take care of the daughter he left behind.For this reason, the first emperor also praised Xiao Jing's benevolence, but he didn't know that Xiao Jing's move was just killing two birds with one stone, marrying a woman with no background, and also avoiding marriage with the Liang family, and being monopolized by foreign relatives.

The Empress Dowager had a quarrel with Xiao Jing because of this matter, but it was a done deal and there was nothing she could do.Later, the Empress Dowager once wanted to marry Liang Wan to Prince An's heir, Xiao Jue, but King An conspired to rebel and Xiao Jue executed him, and the marriage fell through again.

The Empress Dowager may still have the intention of giving her to Xiao Jing, but unfortunately, although Empress Zhang is suffering from illness, she is still alive and well, and Xiao Jing is blindly pampering Concubine Ning, turning a blind eye to Liang Wan's overtures.No matter how capable the mother is, she can't force Liang Wan to be sent to Xiao Jing's dragon bed, so she wasted like this, and the marriage of this girl Liang Wan has been delayed until now, and her age has become embarrassing.

These winding secrets can only be known by Gu Huaiqing, a close minister of the emperor. On the surface, Xiao Jing still respects the Queen Mother very much, is filial and respectful, and the relationship between mother and child is also harmonious.

Entering the inner hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace, Wan Zhen and Gu Huaiqing knelt down to pay their respects, and Empress Dowager Liang said flatly, "Be flat."

Gu Huaiqing straightened up, raised his eyes slightly, and saw a tortoiseshell long-haired Persian cat lying on the empress dowager's lap. The cat was very mighty and huge, about the size of two tigresses, weighing at least ten catties by visual inspection. The fur is long and thick, like a little lion.

The Queen Mother stroked its fur with her tender white fingers. The Persian cat narrowed its yellow-green eyes lazily, and its big fluffy tail dangled gently beside it.

Wan Zhen gave Gu Huaiqing a wink, Gu Huaiqing understood, and then reported to the queen mother the process of the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Meeting. There was nothing special about it, and it was similar every year. The queen mother half closed her phoenix eyes, and nodded lightly after listening Nodding, no objection.

Next, Gu Huaiqing presented the invitation list and dinner menu for the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Party for the Empress Dowager to have a look at. Seeing the names of those familiar ladies and ladies, the Empress Dowager cheered up a little and asked Zi Kui to give her a lumbar pillow , holding a vermilion pen in person, gently scratched out a few names, and added a few more names.

After reading the list, the Queen Mother picked up another menu, flipped through it, and immediately frowned: "Why are there only 72 dishes? Isn't there a hundred and eight dishes in previous years?"

Gu Huaiqing replied: "Back to the Empress Dowager, there are frequent wars this year, and the military pay is huge, resulting in an empty treasury, so the dishes are a little more frugal."

The Empress Dowager's phoenix eyes flashed with obvious displeasure, and she threw the menu in front of Gu Huaiqing with a snap, and said coldly: "Is this the emperor's intention to reduce the menu?"

Gu Huaiqing didn't change his face, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty didn't give any instructions, but as a subject, you should share your worries. Now the soldiers at the border are running out of food, and they can't even eat a full meal. There are also disasters among the people, and there are tens of thousands of hungry people. However, the banquet in the palace is so extravagant and extravagant, I am afraid it is not appropriate."

The Empress Dowager's willow eyebrows stood on end, with an evil spirit looming between her brows, she slapped the small table on the imperial concubine's couch, and said sharply: "You are a little eunuch, you really care about the country and the people! There is still sadness in your eyes. The Empress Dowager? This chrysanthemum appreciation event is about the face of the royal family, it is so shabby, it is better not to do it, so as not to make people in the world laugh at it!"

The Queen Mother's sudden outburst of temper shocked everyone, even the Persian cat squatting on her lap was startled. on the shoulder of the eunuch Qian Xi.

Gu Huaiqing was also taken aback, and quickly knelt down to plead guilty, but was very surprised in his heart.

Mrs. Liang has been immersed in the harem of Daqi for more than ten years, so she is naturally a formidable character who can become the empress dowager with less than one person and more than [-] people.In Gu Huaiqing's impression, the Empress Dowager Liang is not a violent and irritable person. On the contrary, she has always been gentle and noble, and her emotions and anger are invisible. Especially in recent years, the Empress Dowager has been eating fast and reciting Buddha, her mind is more peaceful, Even if there is dissatisfaction in the heart, it will not be expressed so clearly.

Gu Huaiqing still wanted to distinguish, but Wan Zhen gave him a wink to tell him to shut up.

Wan Zhen pulled Gu Huaiqing to kneel down to plead guilty, and said: "The queen mother calm down, I was negligent, so I will follow the queen mother's order, and we will immediately increase the number of dishes to [-], so that the nobles can enjoy the most exquisite dishes. .”

The queen mother snorted coldly and did not continue to attack.Although Gu Huaiqing was reluctant, it was inconvenient to say more.

The queen mother asked a few more questions, and Wan Zhen answered them one by one. Wan Zhen and Gu Huaiqing knelt until their knees were blue because they were criticized in every possible way.Gu Huaiqing even wondered if the queen mother had deliberately made things difficult for them in revenge.

It took more than two hours to finalize the matter of the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Party, both Wan Zhen and Gu Huaiqing secretly let out a long breath.

Gu Huaiqing thought in his heart, in the future, Xiao Jing would throw such ghostly errands to him, and he would rather die than accept them.

The Queen Mother rubbed her temples tiredly, and complained to Zi Ke: "Ai's head hurts again, you go to Doctor Lu to come over and give me two injections, and bring the soothing decoction along the way."

Zi Kui responded with a full mouth, and hurried to the Imperial Hospital to find Lu Zhengxi to see the Queen Mother.

Wan Zhen and Gu Huaiqing also took the opportunity to resign, and when they left the Palace of Compassion, Gu Huaiqing quietly asked, "Father, what happened to the Queen Mother today? Did she take the wrong medicine, or was she deliberately targeting us?"

Wan Zhen patted Gu Huaiqing's head lightly: "You're talking nonsense, be careful not to be overheard."

"Don't foster father think that the queen mother has a particularly bad temper? It stands to reason that she eats vegetarian food and recites Buddha every day, so she shouldn't be so angry."

"Who knows, maybe it's a woman's menstrual period?"

"Oh, that's it..." Gu Huaiqing blinked half-understanding, but he didn't think so.

Regardless of their hunger and hunger, the two hurriedly asked the imperial chef to increase the dishes, and then modified some places according to the Queen Mother's wishes.

When he finished his work, he hurriedly had some dinner, and it was already past Haishi, Gu Huaiqing thought of Duan Mingchen, who didn't want to stay in the palace anymore, so he rushed home overnight.

Unexpectedly, when he returned home, he only waited for the letter left by Duan Mingchen before he left. Gu Huaiqing couldn't help but feel sad when he thought that he might not see Brother Duan for a long time.

However, Duan Mingchen was able to return to his post so quickly and was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, which showed that Xiao Jing didn't mind his identity, and Gu Huaiqing was also happy for Duan Mingchen from the bottom of his heart.

"Meow—" A thin meow came from the wall.

Gu Huaiqing looked up and saw that it was the little white cat with mandarin duck eyes that was given to Duan Mingchen to raise.

Gu Huaiqing smiled, jumped to the top of the wall, brought the little white cat over, and fed it some small fish. The little white cat was not polite, after eating the fish, stretched, yawned, and climbed to Hu Niu's bed. In the nest, I huddled with Huniu to sleep.

Gu Huaiqing stroked the kitten, then rubbed Huniu, and said to himself: "You two have a companion, but I am alone."
