Empress dowager, the queen sighed

Guining Palace is located in the south of Shaodu. When you leave the gate of the palace, you can see densely populated houses.

Ruoxi came here for the first time, so she told the coachman to go to the bookstore, and drive south all the way. When she arrived at the bookstore, she took a look outside, and got out of the car first when she saw that no one cared.

The shopkeeper of the bookstore is a middle-aged man, who dozed off on the counter, his head was almost hitting the counter. After Ruoxi went in, he woke him up softly.

"Girl, whatever book you want to read, I can find whatever book you want here." The shopkeeper woke up suddenly, and said a greeting skillfully.

Ruoxi didn't dare to look up at him, she blushed before she could speak, the shopkeeper didn't know what to say, and asked again: "What book does the girl want?"

"I want those that can be watched." Ruoxi couldn't say it.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then looked at the shy and timid look of the girl, suddenly understood in a trance, and slapped the counter excitedly, "Got it, got it, I have quite a few here, all of which are from the Qi Palace a hundred years ago. left behind."

When the Han army entered Shaodu and burned the palace after entering the palace, the books were thrown out because they were worthless in their eyes. They were picked up and sold to bookstores, and they have been circulating among the people.

The shopkeeper regards it as a treasure.

Ruoxi smiled lowly, and the shopkeeper asked carefully, "How much do you want?"

Ruoxi took out a bank note, "As much as you have."

Seeing that Qian's eyes were wide open, the shopkeeper excitedly asked, "What do you want?"

Ruoxi didn't understand, "Is there any difference?"

"There are many differences, some are just words, some are ligatures with pictures, but I have to tell you that some of the handwriting has been ruined after a long time. I heard that they were all used in the palace before, but it's good." The shopkeeper said. .

Ruoxi blushed, "I want it, I want it, don't say it, just take it."

Where are there so many halls.

The shopkeeper glanced at the bank notes in his hand, then looked at the girl's clothes, and tentatively said: "These are not enough."

"Here you are." Ruoxi took out another bank note.

"Success, success." The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and hurriedly called the boy to move the books.

The books had been piled up for too long, and they were placed in the corner again, covered with dust. When the boy moved the books, he would pat them first. No way, the pages would fall off as soon as he patted them.

The shopkeeper immediately cursed, "How do you do things, these books are precious."

After being scolded, the boy immediately stuffed the pages of the book indiscriminately, and quickly moved it to the car.

The coachman drove, and Ruoxi returned to the palace.

The book was placed in the empress dowager's bedroom, and there was a musty smell. The maid covered her mouth without realizing it, and Ruoyun suggested, "Empress dowager, do you want to take it out to dry?"

"No, someone will come to dry it." The Queen Mother said while lying on the recliner, closing her eyes.

The job of drying books is most suitable for the little queen.

****

The emperor hadn't gone to court for three days, and the courtiers dared not speak out. At this time, Mrs. Li was busy marrying her son's side concubine into the palace.

The Queen's wedding was just ahead, and Mrs. Li didn't want to wrong her son. Even if she married a side concubine, she couldn't be poor. The lion opened her mouth and asked for 10 taels of silver.

After seeing the huge number, Pei Yao's forehead froze. All the money she heard in the nunnery was a few pennies. What is the concept of [-]?

"Mrs. Li treats me as a fool. They are just two side concubines. Whether it is the dowry gift or the expenses in the palace, it shouldn't be this amount. The side concubines are already extravagant. Does the main concubine want to go to heaven? At most Twenty thousand, is it too much?"

The dowry of an ordinary daughter's family is only a few thousand taels, and the betrothal gift is equivalent to it, not too much. The two people add up to only ten thousand taels, and the eldest prince himself has to add some dowry gifts, and the remaining 1 taels are enough.

Shang Gong, who came to collect the silver, was stunned immediately, the empress pressed her too hard, she wondered: "Madam Li said, do you want to think about it again?"

"Let Mrs. Li tell Bengong herself. I'm not a tiger, so I won't eat her." Pei Yao didn't want to embarrass Gong'e. After punishing Mrs. Li a few days ago, Mrs. Li didn't dare to show her face.

In terms of arrogance and surreptitiousness, she dares to be the second, but I don't believe Mrs. Li dares to be the first.

Shang Gong opened his mouth, swallowed the words back, not daring to continue speaking, and took the Queen's order back to Mrs. Li.

Not wanting Mrs. Li to be furious, "She suppressed so much? She entered the palace as a nun, and the queen mother allocated 10 taels of silver. The eldest prince's status is more noble than her. Why should she suppress it?"

Shang Gong continued to pretend to be dumb, trying to remind Madam Li that the money allocated by the Empress Dowager to His Majesty's wedding was not given to the Empress alone.

Mrs. Li is used to being domineering and likes to compare, so she dare not speak up even if she has the guts.

"No, tell the queen that you can't miss a penny." Mrs. Li patted the table, stood up and walked two steps in the hall, then looked at Shang Gong again, "Go and pass on the message."

Shang Gong lowered his head, "The queen said it, you have to tell her yourself. She won't eat you."

"Pei Yao!" Madam Li gritted her teeth, she couldn't go to Jiaofang Hall, she had to see His Majesty.

The eldest prince is her and His Majesty's son, the Empress doesn't care, His Majesty will.

****

The Queen received the Queen Mother's order and immediately set off to Guining Palace to pray with the Queen Mother.

After seeing the will, Pei Yao sneered twice, "Look, the Queen Mother can't leave me."

Ruoxiang and Qingzhu looked at each other, why does the queen always think of the best, if she goes like this, she will give up the palace to Madam Li, and when she comes back, she wonders if she can get back the Phoenix Seal.

The queen thought too simply.

Pei Yao didn't think too deeply, the Queen Mother will come back sooner or later, the most practical thing is to hug the Queen Mother's thigh.

"Go and tidy up. I heard that Guining Palace is poor. Go to the imperial dining room and get more fish. Remember to bring more live chickens and ducks. You also need some rabbits. If there is venison, it is also the best."

Qingzhu thought about it carefully, and suggested: "You should also bring some ginseng, velvet antler, and donkey-hide gelatin to nourish your body. When you got married, the Queen Mother rewarded you with some snow lotus, or you should also take it with you."

"Take it with you, take it with you if you can, it's most comfortable to eat in your stomach." Pei Yao nodded.

Qingzhu immediately went down to make arrangements, but she didn't know when she would return, the weather was getting colder, so she had to bring some cotton-padded clothes for the winter, as well as blankets and cushions.

Qingzhu calculated in her heart, and there was no delay in hand, so she ordered the little maid to do it, and went to the dining room to get the food herself.

The Jiaofang Hall was busy, and Mrs. Li heard the news before entering the Xuanshi Hall. She was so happy that she almost jumped up, her heart was pounding, and she asked Gong'e, who was passing the message, "Is it true?"

"It's absolutely true, the Queen Mother's decree has been passed into the Jiaofang Palace, empress, you are respected in the palace, and the eldest prince will not worry about being wronged."

"Of course I won't wrong my son. I still want to build a mansion for the eldest prince, choose the best land and use the best materials." Mrs. Li couldn't help but couldn't suppress her excitement. After so many years, she Finally came to the fore.

"Let's go back to the palace."

Mrs. Li stopped halfway, passing the Jiaofang Hall, and from a distance, she saw the maids inside moving things, going in and out, as if they were moving a palace.

"Go and find out what the empress is up to." Madam Li's eyelids twitched twice, she felt strange that the empress seemed to want to vacate the Jiaofang hall.

Gong'e went quickly, and when Mrs. Li returned to the palace, she inquired and told everything the queen wanted.

Mrs. Li was shocked, what does the queen want so much meat, can she finish it?

The queen ordered that the imperial dining room was almost emptied, and the steward was about to cry, so the food was loaded onto the carriage with tears in his eyes.

The queen left in the afternoon, escorted by the Royal Forest Army, and the ingredients were loaded into more than a dozen carriages. Along the way, chickens, ducks and geese kept calling, which attracted passers-by to look at them curiously.

It took two days to arrive at Shaodu.

The Empress Dowager was reading in the hall, and changed into a moon-white dress with a hanging waist, her slender figure was a little soft in the skylight.

What the queen mother read was the biography of the last emperor of Qi, folk miscellaneous histories, which were very legendary.The last emperor of the state of Qi ascended the throne at the age of eight, was in charge at fifteen, was extravagantly promiscuous, married a wife at eighteen, had no concubines in his life, and respected the queen as a guest.When the city was broken, he escaped from Shaodu with the queen, and was shot to death by the random arrows of the Han army. He was only 23 years old when he died, and he had been in power for many years without accomplishing anything.

The Empress of the Last Emperor was 24 years old at the time and fled with the corpse of the Last Emperor.The Han army offered a reward of ten thousand taels of silver for his head. After being buried, someone dug it up and hung it on the gate of Shaodu.

What was written in the book was absurd. The Empress Dowager smiled and closed the book with cold eyes. The last emperor is a hardworking emperor.

Unfortunately, it is a daughter's home.

It's just a beautiful daughter's house.

"Empress Dowager, the Queen Mother's Fengjia Road has entered Shaodu." Ruoxi stood outside the bead curtain and spoke softly.

"It's coming soon." The queen mother said casually, her eyes fell on the camellia in the corner, and she went to look at it, but the flower was a little withered, so she picked one casually and played with it in the palm of her hand.

Ruoxi asked again, "Empress Dowager, the empress's palace has been arranged, do you want to welcome the empress to rest first?"

"Rest?" The queen mother was puzzled, the corners of her lips curled up, "It's still early, let her work first, if you don't work, you won't have food."

"The empress has brought a lot of ingredients, and I have to prepare my own food." Ruoxi reminded that the empress has a lot of outfits, even more than when the empress came.

The queen mother was a little surprised, "Does she think Aijia will starve her?"

Ruoxi laughed lowly, the queen's temperament is indeed interesting, at this time everyone is avoiding the queen mother, but the queen is willing to come here, which shows that she is sincere to the queen mother.

"Forget it, let her rest overnight, and work tomorrow when she is full." The Queen Mother showed great kindness.

Walking back to the side, his eyes fell on the Biography of the Last Emperor of Qi, his eyes suddenly turned cold, "Find out who wrote this book."

Even if he died, the Ai family would have to dig the grave and flog the corpse!

Ruoxi took the book over, and finally found the author, "I'll go to the book shop and ask." The book shop I visited a few days ago seems to be old, so I should be able to find some clues.

Folk writers like to write randomly to gain some attention, which is illogical.

While speaking, Empress Feng drove into the palace and stopped directly outside the empress dowager's bedroom. She got off the car and took a look at the palace, it was still Changle Palace.

"How come there is Changle Palace here?"

Qingzhu explained: "The empress dowager's palace was not originally Changle. Later, after the empress dowager lived in it, she took it herself."

Pei Yao asked: "Did the Empress Dowager like this place, so she repaired a Changle Hall in the Han Palace?"

Qingzhu recalled that after the death of His Majesty Huiming, the Empress Dowager moved out from the Changle Hall, ordered people to repair the palace, and named it Changle herself.

"I don't know, the queen can ask the queen mother." She didn't dare to answer rashly.

Pei Yao didn't ask any more questions, she walked all the way inside and stopped outside the sleeping hall. She looked up at the palace, which was exactly the same as the Changle Hall in the Han Palace.

"Empress." Ruoxi walked out of the hall, leaning over to greet the queen.

Pei Yao smiled softly, "The Queen Mother is doing well."

Ruoxi nodded, the queen mother has recovered recently, and bought dozens of books for the queen to read.

****

"Your Majesty, the flood is a disaster, if we don't eradicate it..."

"Presumptuous, I don't need you to teach me how to do things." The emperor sternly interrupted the prime minister, and looked at the pedantic old man in front of him. , That's all, I don't need you, and neither does the court, so go home."

"Your Majesty, I'm terrified. I'm doing it for your majesty, for the great man..." The prime minister panicked and knelt down to plead for himself.

The emperor smiled and told the prime minister: "Go and solve it yourself, and don't come back if you can't solve it yourself."

The prime minister sighed, the emperor didn't know the source of the flood at all, and he was obviously trying to embarrass him.

The prime minister walked out of the Xuanshi Hall dejectedly, step by step, remembering the scene when the queen mother was there, the queen mother abdicated thinking that she could hug the big man, but in fact she could only push the big man to a hot place.

The emperor has nothing to say, he just wants to have fun, he summoned more than a dozen beauties into the palace yesterday, he stayed up all day and night, piled up the memorials, and would question the courtiers for their inaction when something happened.

Walking out of Xuanshi Hall, the sky is clear and bright.

The prime minister looked back at the majestic and majestic palace, which was cold and solemn. He gasped, and his colleague hurried over and said in surprise, "Prime Minister, it's not good. The dam in Huaizhou has collapsed, which has affected the three counties. Prime Minister, send someone to hurry up." Disaster relief."

"Where do I have such ability? Your Majesty said that if I can't solve the flood problem, I will go home." The prime minister was expressionless and worried.

"This..." The colleague was shocked, "The water has been muddy for many years, and you can't solve it. The immediate plan is to send people to relieve the disaster, and the crops and fields are flooded. The people have no fixed place to live, and they will go out. Changsha County The mob is still there, Prime Minister."

The prime minister gritted his teeth, "Go to Shaodu and invite the queen mother back to the palace."

Colleagues fell silent and made no promises.

The prime minister sneered, "You still count on His Majesty to rescue people?"

The prime minister can remember the result of women ruling. The last emperor of the Qi Dynasty was a woman. It would be best if the country was destroyed. "

"If you don't go, I'll go, and you stay here, or do you have a way to relieve the disaster?" The prime minister was so angry that his forehead was hot and his limbs were weak, "Don't forget, who has governed for three years, and who is now seeking pleasure. "

"I'm going to persuade His Majesty." The colleague insisted.

"Follow you." The prime minister walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

****

The Empress Dowager lives in the Changle Hall, while Pei Yao lives in the side hall. The hall is clean and spotless, with windows in the north and south.

The bed is placed in the inner room, not as big as a phoenix bed, and three people can lie down on it.

After Pei Yao went in, she found that the bed was much shorter. The beds in the palace were not so short. She asked Ruoxi: "Why is the bed so short?"

"This is King Qi Palace, and the furnishings are all in accordance with the original style." Ruoxi explained.

Pei Yao took advantage of the opportunity and sat down on the bed, her eyes fell on the dressing table, which was engraved with green bamboo, she was curious, "Does the Queen Mother like green bamboo?"

Ruoxi followed her gaze, "It's true that the Empress Dowager likes it, but I heard that the things here were left by the last emperor of Qi."

"Okay, you go to rest, my people will clean up, thank you for your hard work." Pei Yao didn't ask any more, the big man has been in the dynasty for more than a hundred years, and he can't ask back, so it's better to have a good rest.

Ruoxi nodded, retreated silently, walked through a garden, and arrived at the Queen Mother's bedroom.

The queen mother was still reading the biography of the last emperor, with a gloomy expression on her face, Ruoxi approached and replied: "Report to the queen mother, the empress is resting."

"Oh, good, you can ask her what she wants to eat tonight." The queen mother put down the book, leaned on the pillow, thoughtful, what does the queen like to eat?

Ruoxi replied: "I'm going to ask Qingzhu."

The Empress Dowager silently agreed, then looked at the Legend of the Last Emperor again, suddenly felt bored, threw it away, walked out of the palace slowly, and stood under the courtyard.

"Queen Mother!"

The familiar voice made the empress dowager's brows relax. She turned her head, and the empress stood behind her with a smile on her face. "Does the empress dowager miss me?"

The queen mother indifferently denied: "I don't want to."

Pei Yao hummed twice, put her slender hands behind her back, and moved a few steps to the Empress Dowager, "But I think the Empress Dowager misses me."

Standing in front of her, the queen mother looked into the queen's eyes, pretending to be unfamiliar with her solemnly, and said indifferently: "Mediocre people love narcissism."

As she spoke, she poked the queen's face, thoughtfully, the queen seemed to have grown a lot taller.

17 year old is growing.

The queen conjured a flowering orange from behind and gave it to the queen mother, "Send it to you."

The orange peel was carved by Pei Yao to look like it was in full bloom, and the white orange flesh was exposed underneath. The chubby little body is very cute.

Look at the Queen's hands again, they are slender and clear.

The queen mother took the orange, grabbed the 'orange blossom' on it, peeled off the white tendons with her clean fingertips, and separated the skin and flesh.

Pei Yao just stared at the Queen Mother's hand.

"What is the queen staring at Ai's family?" The queen mother put the orange flesh into her mouth, and she was so sore that she couldn't open her eyes immediately, "Where did the queen get the oranges?"

How could it be so sour!

Pei Yao took the remaining orange meat from the Empress Dowager's hand and put it in her mouth, "It's very sweet, the Empress Dowager picked it."

"You picked it?" The queen mother frowned sourly, feeling that she couldn't breathe.

Pei Yao stood on tiptoe and stared into those eyes, "Nurse said kisses are very sweet."

The queen mother was angry, "Which nanny said that?"

"I went to Pei's mansion to teach my mother. She said that kisses make people feel very sweet."

The Queen Mother was so sour that she couldn't speak, but Pei Yao didn't show anything unusual when she ate the oranges just now, isn't she sour?

Pei Yao ate another piece in front of the queen mother, and praised solemnly: "The oranges peeled by the queen mother are very sweet."

The queen mother corrected her: "You peeled it off, and it has nothing to do with Aijia."

The orange peel just now has been carved into a flower, there is no need to peel it manually, the queen is talking nonsense again.

The Empress Dowager turned back to the palace, Pei Yao ate another piece, she was so sour that she immediately closed her eyes, threw it to Qingzhu, raised her skirt and chased after the Empress Dowager, "Empress Dowager, I will cook oranges for you."

"It's fine if the queen doesn't show up in front of Aijia!"

Pei Yao stepped across the threshold with one foot, and said confidently: "I have brought a lot of scriptures, how about reading to the Queen Mother tonight."

The Empress Dowager turned around and stared at Pei Yao, her eyes darkened, "How do you want to read it, take off your clothes and read it?"

Touching the Queen Mother's eyes, Pei Yao took a step back and whispered, "That's uncomfortable."

"Really?" The Queen Mother said in a melodious tone, "The Queen slept so comfortably that night, she couldn't wake up from a thunderbolt, and she couldn't cry out."

Pei Yao immediately blushed, did she sleep soundly that night?

After she fell asleep that night, where did the Queen Mother sleep?To sleep with her, or to leave the palace.

If she left the palace, how would she know that she would not be able to wake up from a thunderbolt, and could not be yelled out.

Apparently, Pei Yao couldn't understand what happened that night later, the queen mother suddenly became in a good mood, and jokingly said: "The queen can't remember?"

"Is the queen coming tonight? Ai's family has prepared a lot of scriptures." The queen mother added.

Pei Yao looked up at the eyes that were close at hand, not feeling embarrassed, she stretched out her hand and landed on the eyelashes of the Queen Mother, even plucked the eyelashes of the Queen Mother, bent her lips and smiled, "I prepare it myself. "

"Queen, don't call Ai's family a concubine, it's ugly." The queen mother looked back at the queen, and slapped her dirty hands away, "Queen, go back and get ready, bring your scriptures to warm the couch for Ai's family."

Pei Yao left angrily.

The Empress Dowager was free now, Ruoyun entered the palace empty-handed, handed a few letters to the Empress Dowager, and said softly: "The embankment in Huaizhou burst, causing heavy casualties, Your Majesty doesn't know yet."

"You don't need to worry about it." The queen mother said indifferently, she would not seek to govern if she was not in her position. This is the monarch that courtiers and people look forward to, and she will not help.

The letters were all from Huaizhou. The Empress Dowager read them carefully. After reading the letters, she had a countermeasure in her mind, but she would not do it.

Soon, the letter was burned, and she told Ruoyun: "Don't worry about Huaizhou's affairs, I'm tired."

"I will wait for you to rest." Ruoyun helped the queen mother to rest on the couch.

At this moment, Pei Yao is standing in front of the closet to choose clothes, the colors are different, colorful, all are new, never worn.

Pei Yao held a black and red low-necked shirt with large sleeves and asked Ruoxiang, "Does it look good?"

The queen mother likes to wear black, so no one in the palace dares to wear black. Somehow, the palace still sent a few black palace clothes.

Gong'e's thoughts are very simple, they just hope that the queen will anger the queen mother, but they don't know that the queen mother doesn't care at all.

"Looks good, the empress has a fair complexion, she looks good in anything, does black make you look a little mature?" Ruoxiang wondered.

"Put it on first." Pei Yao didn't know it, she let Ruoxiang wait on her and put it on, took off her outer robe, and then put on a shirt with large sleeves, the black color looked gloomy and majestic.

Pei Yao looked at the person in the mirror, and found something different from the past, she could see it, the neckline was slightly lowered, she suddenly asked Ruoxiang: "Can you bring the dress that His Majesty rewarded you?"

Ruoxiang recalled that when the empress went out, she almost emptied the Jiaofang hall, and brought all the unused skirts with her, "Your maidservant, please go and ask the little Gong'e, empress, please rest for a while."

Pei Yao was not tired, so while it was still early, she found out all the scriptures she brought, looking at the thick scriptures, she didn't know which one to bring.

After looking around, I decided to bring the thickest one!

Not long after making the decision, Ruoxiang came with the clothes.

Pei Yao didn't look at it, but asked someone to prepare dinner, but Ruoxiang reminded: "We will have dinner with the Queen Mother tonight."

Only then did Pei Yao look squarely at the clothes in Ruoxiang's hands, and reached out to touch them, "Why are there still feathers?"

She remembered that there seemed to be no feathers, "Did I take it wrong?"

"It's not wrong, it's this one, it's the phoenix wings, very precious, the embroiderer spent a lot of effort to embroider it."

Only then did Pei Yao reluctantly put it on, where was the chest low, it was obviously much lower, she regretted it, and said while clutching her chest, "Change, change."

The Queen Mother might drive her out.

Ruoxiang reached out to untie the jade belt around the queen's waist, Pei Yao was startled suddenly: "Wait a minute."

She didn't wear any clothes that night, and the queen mother didn't drive her away.

Pei Yao hesitated, did she sacrifice too much?

The author has something to say: the next one is tomorrow 18.18.18.

Who do you think will change color first? ?
