Empress dowager, the queen sighed
Chapter 28
Hudi is bordered by Han, and the two countries communicate with each other. Hu people like the culture of Han, and Hu people have come to learn from it a hundred years ago.
The Empress Dowager's memory stays at the first time she met Hu Nu. Da Qi's daughter is dignified and elegant, but Hu Nu is just the opposite. They are not to mention charming, good at dancing, and their soft waists are more like willows.
At that time, there were no big men, only big Qi.The scenery of Qi is infinite, and the Hu people settled down, but the two countries cannot intermarry, and in the big Han, the Hu people can marry Han women.
Mrs. Mei entered the palace weeping, her eyes were red from crying, her eyes were full of grievances when she looked at the emperor, and she was about to cry, the pear blossoms were raining, and her amorous feelings and tenderness were rubbed into her bones.
People want to care for them just looking at them.
However, the emperor remained motionless and did not even give Madam Mei a look.
The Empress Dowager laughed, and called Madam Mei herself, and asked someone to prepare tea, "Where is Madam from?"
"The concubine was born in Luoyang, her mother grew up in Kudan, and her father is Han." Mrs. Mei replied delicately.
As the people approached, the queen mother could clearly see Madam Mei's appearance, her facial features were more like that of a beard girl, and her temperament followed her father's.
"Madam went to pay respects to the empress, did you drive them out?" The empress dowager then asked about the serious matter.
Mrs. Mei didn't dare to speak anymore, the Queen Mother's temper was uncertain, she didn't dare to talk too much when they met for the first time, she didn't want to die under the Queen Mother's stick, she cowered for a while before answering: "The concubine has never seen the Queen before, I want to go to pay her respects, but it didn't work I want the queen not to let the concubines into the palace."
"The empress is tired, so of course I don't want to see you. Madam Mei, please go early and go tomorrow." The empress dowager looked at the emperor, who was sitting on the dragon chair, motionless, somehow reminiscent of a tortoise.
The queen mother suddenly smiled, and turned to look at Madam Mei, "Madam, do you still want to talk to Your Majesty?"
"No, I don't want to, this concubine will leave right away." Madam Mei trembled in fright, she didn't dare to stay for a moment, she bent down and left.
From the beginning to the end, Li Xu didn't even look at Mrs. Mei.
Mrs. Mei, who was out of the Xuanshi Palace, was still patting her chest and panting for breath. She knew the empress dowager was vicious, and she never thought that she would be scared out of her wits when they met for the first time. Such a woman is too scary.
"Is this how the empress dowager treats the concubine?" She tremblingly asked the maid who was serving her.
"The empress dowager is used to this, and the concubines dare not approach her, but the empress likes to be close to the empress dowager."
"The empress is close to the empress dowager?" Mrs. Mei couldn't believe it. The empress has only been in the palace for three months. I heard that she is a child who has not yet passed her 17th birthday. Her majesty has not favored her so far.
Children, no favors... Mrs. Mei laughed, the little queen dared to walk sideways in the palace only because of the queen mother, if she didn't have the queen mother's backing, she might be a street rat.
Today's shame, she must return.
****
Pei Yao's sleeping on her own bed was particularly comfortable. After sleeping, all the empresses and concubines arrived one after another, except for Mrs. Mei.
Pei Yao is the youngest, and many people don't want to take it seriously. Many people in the palace know the rules, but there are also many prostitutes.Born as a woman, just like Shen Zhaohua, who only regained respect for the queen after suffering a few times.
Not long after entering the palace, Mrs. Mei has been promoted the fastest, so she doesn't take anyone seriously.
If she didn't come today, there were a lot of troublemakers whispering behind her back.
Mrs. Li was the first to sarcastically say, "Mrs. Mei won the Queen Mother's favor, so she is naturally different from us."
Others dare not answer the words when they look at me and you, but Shen Zhaohua answered the words relying on his own child, "That's right, the Queen Mother rarely rewards people, this time the rewards are enough for the night." There are not many night pearls in the palace."
Mrs. Li's face darkened. Who doesn't want good things, and the Queen Mother has always looked down on her, so she forced His Majesty to marry the Queen.
At the beginning, the others started talking about you and me.
"The barbarians don't understand the rules. Hearing that he just came, he left directly. I'm afraid he's going to find His Majesty."
"The concubine has also heard about it. She is embarrassing the queen."
"It's just a fellow countryman, and it's impossible to surpass the mother of the country."
Across a screen, Pei Yao could hear clearly. It seemed that Mrs. Mei had made many enemies, and the death of her predecessor Li Zhaohua was still lingering in front of her eyes.
"You guys have worked hard." Pei Yao heard enough about the wall, and walked out holding Ruoxiang's hand.
Everyone gasped, stood up one after another, and bowed their knees to the queen.
Pei Yao sat on the phoenix seat and exclaimed excuse me. She imitated the empress dowager's demeanor and greeted everyone, vaguely saw a few strange faces.
She asked about her status and first and last name, and she was rewarded with a gift if she confirmed that she was a newcomer.
In the end, she pretended to ask Mrs. Mei unintentionally, and Mrs. Li immediately said, "I'm going to see Your Majesty."
Pei Yao supported the phoenix hairpin on her temples, and told Qingzhu: "Please ask Mrs. Mei again, I heard that Miss Hu looks good, so I want to take a look."
In fact, she was more curious about the Queen Mother's taste.
Qingzhu immediately brought people to invite them, Gong'e refilled the tea for the ladies, Pei Yao took the opportunity to talk about other things, most of the discussions among women were only clothes, jewelry and food.
When everyone heard the Queen taking the lead in speaking, they didn't have any scruples, and they spoke separately.
After talking for less than half an hour, Qing Zhu came back, bowed to the queen, and replied: "Madam Mei said that she just came back from His Majesty, and she is not feeling well."
Everyone held their breath and focused, quietly waiting for the Queen's order.
Pei Yao blinked her eyes, "I'm tired, remember to ask the imperial doctor to take a look."
Mrs. Li frowned, the little queen was very powerful in the past, how could she become a soft-footed shrimp today.
Pei Yao asked everyone to leave without mentioning Mrs. Mei's matter, the others looked at each other and silently backed out.
"The empress actually let Madam Mei go just like that?"
"I don't dare to forget that the Empress has demoted Shen Zhaohua's position."
"Shhh, don't talk about it, it's probably because Mrs. Mei has the backing of the Queen Mother, and the Queen doesn't dare to question her."
"Then, let's take a detour when we see Mrs. Mei."
Pei Yao leaned on the window and listened, watching the concubines talking leisurely on the road from a distance, and looking at the tops of their heads, there were mostly blue bubbles, obviously they were more concerned about power.
The concubines walked out of the Jiaofang Palace one after another, and Pei Yao turned back to the palace to ask someone to check Mrs. Mei's background. In fact, she only wanted to know why the Empress Dowager rewarded Ye Mingzhu.
Not long after the greetings were over, the imperial physician Meng Qi came to ask the queen for her pulse with a medicine box.
Standing in the crowd, Meng Qi was still the most eye-catching, and the lifeless robes of the Taiyuan Hospital did not subtract from his gentle temperament.
Tall and handsome.
Pei Yao didn't refuse, she asked people to enter the palace, and the first thing she said was: "I haven't served you in bed so far, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
"The empress is worrying too much. I just came to check my pulse. The wishes of the Pei family have nothing to do with me." Meng Qi leaned over to salute, put the medicine box on the table, and asked someone to put a veil on the empress, so he could do it himself. The queen's wrist was separated by a veil.
Pei Yao seemed to be numb, she didn't fluctuate too much after hearing the belated explanation, she quietly waited for Meng Qi's pulse diagnosis.
She suddenly said, "How is Pei Min these days?"
"The second girl is fine, the queen doesn't need to worry." Meng Qi withdrew his hand, glanced at the queen, and then said: "The empress is in good health, no nourishment or conditioning is needed. The empress's health is much better than at home. "
The first time the Empress returned to Pei's house, he was the one who went quietly to check her pulse.The Pei family was afraid that something wrong with the queen would affect the whole family, and the outside doctors did not dare to use it, so they quietly invited him over.
At that time, the queen's health was not as good as that of ordinary people, and her foundation was a bit weak. He prescribed medicine to recuperate, and I don't know if the queen took it.
Just now when he checked his pulse, he learned that the Queen hadn't taken his prescription and should have taken other medicinal soups.
He was curious, so he asked a lot: "Did the empress drink any other medicinal soup after entering the palace?"
"No." Pei Yao looked at Meng Qi suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
"The empress is in good health, I thought the empress was taking the medicinal soup, and she seems to be supporting her in the palace." Meng Qi said apologetically.
Pei Yao lost her doubts and ordered someone to send Meng Qi out of the palace.
Meng Qi is a new imperial physician who has just entered the palace. He has little qualifications and has nothing to do on weekdays. He usually stays in the bookstore of the imperial hospital all day long.
He has worked hard for a long time, but he is still not appreciated, and he will always be the worst in the hospital.
If Pei's family hadn't entrusted him with the relationship, he wouldn't be able to continue to diagnose the Queen's pulse.
After leaving the palace, he went to Pei's house and told the old lady about the Queen's recent situation.
Mrs. Pei was very satisfied, and asked carefully, "Is the Queen's body suitable for having a child?"
Meng Qi blushed, remembering the queen's words, "I have no servants in my palace so far", for some reason, he chose to hide it and nodded.
Mrs. Pei was even more satisfied, and said: "You went to check the pulse of Lord Hou, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard." Meng Qi numbly agreed, and followed the maid like a puppet to see Hou Zhongyi.
Hou Zhongyi has been in poor health since he was a child, and it was a disease brought out from his mother's womb. The Pei family spent a lot of effort to raise him. It is precisely because he grew up in the palm of his hand that he has a personality that is all about me.
Meng Qi didn't like Pei Ze because he was the one who sent Pei Yao into the palace.
Knowing what kind of temperament the emperor is, he even sent his own sister in.Meng Qi thought about a poisonous medicine.Dead Pei Ze, but every time he writes the prescription, he pauses.
Pei Yao is so kind, if she has evil thoughts in her heart, she must not be worthy of her.
Meng Qi wants to kill for Pei Yao, but also for Pei Yao's sake.
****
At Chen's hour, the sun rose, and the bright light made people feel the breath of spring.
Pei Yao sat on the couch and looked at the thick account book on the table, feeling a little dazed, she left for a few days, why did she spend so much money?
She felt that it was a bit outrageous, but she ignored it immediately, and asked someone to send the account books to Changle Hall, and continued to be the hands-off shopkeeper.
Before lunch, the servant in front of the emperor invited her to a banquet, and today she will clean up the dust for the Empress Dowager.
Pei Yao resigned herself to changing into a phoenix robe and a heavy phoenix crown, and was supported by Qingzhu to board the chariot.
When they arrived outside Chengde Tower, the chariot stopped, Ruoxi stood at the gate of the palace talking to people, Pei Yao saw the bubble on Ruoxi's head change color...
It is cyan.
Cyan is greedy for money!
The chariot stopped at this moment, Qingzhu helped the queen get out of the car, Ruoxi also noticed the movement at the door, and hurriedly left the speaker and walked towards the queen.
Pei Yao clasped Qingzhu's hand, leaned over and whispered in her ear while getting off the car: "Check whoever talked to Ruoxi."
Qingzhu looked up, then quickly lowered her head, and responded softly.
Ruoxi came over, "Empress Empress."
"The queen is coming?" Pei Yao stepped off the car seat, and talked to Ruoxi with her eyes bent.
"The empress dowager is here, so I will send the empress dowager." Ruoxi stepped forward to support the empress.
After the person approached, Pei Yao narrowed her eyes and looked at the celebrity in front of the empress dowager, with the corners of her lips curled up, she pretended to be nonchalant and asked about what happened just now, "Who did you talk to just now?"
"This servant just talked to a fellow countryman." Ruoxi paused slightly.
Pei Yao obviously felt that the hands holding her wrists were frozen, she stopped asking, and walked slowly into the palace with Ruoxi's hand on her hands.
Today is a family banquet, there are no foreign ministers, they are all the emperor's women and children.
There are nearly a hundred people in the hall, sitting in separate cases, the emperor is respected, the queen mother sits on the right, and the queen's seat is on the left.
Between the queen and the queen mother, there is the emperor.
Pei Yao was not very satisfied, but there are court rules and she cannot break them because of herself.
After the empress arrived, everyone was present. The emperor first respected the empress dowager, spoke modestly, and acted like a son.
Pei Yao thought about it, the Queen Mother seems to be seven or eight years younger than Her Majesty.
The Empress Dowager's expression remained the same as before, without too much emotional ups and downs. The leader was Mrs. Li, followed by the newly promoted Mrs. Mei. Pei Yao looked around and her eyes fell on the eldest prince.
The first prince's appearance followed his mother, Mrs. Li, with delicate features and an upright appearance.
Then followed by the eldest prince's brothers, there were too many people, Pei Yao couldn't name them, so she simply didn't look, and continued to huddle in her seat.
After the emperor toasted, Qingzhu poked the queen's shoulder with his hand, indicating that it was time for her to toast.
Pei Yao was startled, she and the Queen Mother were so familiar, she probably didn't need such vulgar etiquette to get closer.
However, Qingzhu continued to poke her, there was no other way, she held the wine cup and walked in front of the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager was wearing a black dress as always, with a gloomy majesty that made people dare not look up. Those women in the palace who were rampant outside became more well-behaved than their grandsons in front of the Empress Dowager.
Pei Yao thinks she is one of them.
"The concubine respects the Empress Dowager." Pei Yao handed the wine cup to the Empress Dowager's eyes, and blinked at the Empress Dowager herself.
The queen mother was indifferent, "The queen's eyes hurt?"
Pei Yao was discouraged, and the queen mother was puzzled, no wonder she had been sober for so long.
"The concubine's eyes are in the eyes of a fool."
"Your queen has worked hard." The queen mother said coldly, took the wine from Pei Yao, and drank it without thinking.
Pei Yao returned to her seat lonely.
The eldest prince also went to toast, and then a few little princes, especially those who couldn't walk steadily, walked unsteadily in front of the queen mother, and opened their mouths: "Grandson pays respects to grandmother..."
Pei Yao first laughed for a while, and then laughed helplessly, the word "grandmother" made people feel something was wrong.
The queen mother was called grandma when she was only 24 years old. She couldn't help but glanced at the queen mother. The other party faced the group of grandchildren calmly and gave them gifts.
Grandma is so loving!
After drinking for three rounds, as usual, actors came to perform dances, the emperor regained his spirits, and the concubines lost their spirits. When they watched the queen mother again, they couldn't get up.
Only Pei Yao was eating by herself, and she glanced at the queen mother from time to time to show her concern. After the actor came up, Pei Yao glanced at it, good guy, blue, blue and yellow.
Your Majesty doesn't need to look everywhere, just know it's yellow.
The concubines are relatively single in color, blue or pink.
Mrs. Mei came over at this moment, holding a jug in her hand. The palace dress was exquisite, with a very low neckline and a thinner waist. The different facial features were refreshing, exotic, with her own unique charm.
As soon as she approached, the emperor immediately rolled his eyes, and the others laughed, disliked, envied, and had different expressions.
Madam Mei approached and gave the Queen a provocative look.Pei Yao bit the grape, feeling a little sour, she couldn't help frowning.
The next moment, Madam Mei slipped and fell down immediately. The emperor stretched out his hand and watched Madam Mei fall to the ground.
Pei Yao's eyes were sharp, she saw grapes at Madam Mei's feet, and looked at the Queen Mother, she was playing with grapes in her hands.
Pei Yao almost forgot that the Queen Mother knows kung fu.
Mrs. Mei fell under the emperor's feet, and the emperor immediately got up to support her, but just as soon as she left her seat, she sat down again.He glanced at the queen mother, not daring to be presumptuous.
Mrs. Mei stretched out her hand in front of His Majesty tremblingly, and began to cry tenderly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and my concubine fell so badly."
After Pei Yao heard this, the tip of her tongue twirled in her mouth, and she really couldn't learn the delicate tone.She cautiously went to see the queen mother, who was calm and relaxed.
It seems that the Queen Mother does not like this tone of speaking.
The emperor didn't go to help Madam Mei, but Ruoxi helped Madam Mei back to her seat, and Madam Li immediately said, "Madam Mei's clothes today are not suitable, and they have caught your feet. Although the clothes are gorgeous, there are some I'm going to wear it."
Mrs. Mei was aggrieved because of a big scandal, and immediately replied after hearing the words: "Mrs. Li is very right, my clothes are just beautiful, I don't want your mother's, it's only suitable for you, I will feel a little old-fashioned in wearing them .”
Pei Yao's eyelids twitched when she heard this, Madam Mei came from such boldness, Madam Li is the mother of the eldest prince after all, yet she is so new to her.
Mrs. Li's face turned pale with anger, but the First Prince walked over and toasted her, "Mother has worked hard, my son toasts you."
It doesn't matter how old you are, it's good to have a son by your side.
Mrs. Mei was so angry that she clenched her veil tightly when she saw the mother's kindness and son's filial piety.
Pei Yao saw another layer of tricks, the eldest prince remained calm, and with one movement he resolved his mother's embarrassment, and he was able to make him vomit blood silently.
The atmosphere in the palace returned to normal, and the emperor still stared at the actor, not caring about the struggle between the concubines at all.
Hu Nu came up next, and Hu Qu was melodious and cheerful. As soon as the music started, the emperor became even more excited.
Hu Nu didn't wear shoes and socks, and her feet were bare. Every time she took a step, the silver bells on her feet would ring along with the music.
Pei Yao looked at the masked Hu Nu, half-covered, her eyes were bright and charming, the next moment, Hu Nu approached, the shawl on her shoulder fell to the ground, the emperor smiled and hugged her and sat on his dragon chair superior.
The next moment, Hu Nufu stood up again, put her hand on the bun, and quickly pulled out the hairpin. In an instant, the hairpin was inserted into the emperor's chest.
The emperor yelled, Pei Yao stood down from the seat in fright, her heart beating violently, while the queen mother watched indifferently as Hu Nu pulled out the hairpin, and the next moment, Hu Nu was stopped by the servants.
"Escort..."
"Escort..."
"Please doctor, hurry up, please doctor."
"Your Majesty is injured."
Chaos immediately broke out in the hall, the imperial concubine rushed to the emperor and shouted, Your Majesty, Pei Yao stayed away from the bustle and quietly took a few steps back, the queen mother also stood up at this moment, walked to the Hu Nu, "Send it to the Ministry of punishment , let people take a look."
Hu Nu suddenly sneered, "Queen Mother, I am helping you. After the dog emperor dies, you will be able to take power and become the empress."
The queen mother looked at the woman in front of her, and smiled faintly, "The Ai family has no interest in the empress, and the Ai family suddenly changed their minds. Since you want to discredit the Ai family, how can you bypass it. Tell the Ministry of Punishment that you can live."
The penalty of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is the most exciting.
Hu Nu was dragged out by the servants, and the Empress Dowager stared at the entrance of the palace, her lips curled up, which was much more interesting.
She turned to look at the queen, the queen looked at the emperor on tiptoe, she wanted to go but was afraid of causing trouble, it was more interesting than an assassin.
"Did the imperial doctor invite you?" the queen mother asked.
"Someone went to invite them."
The emperor's face was ashen, the corners of his lips turned white, his whole body was twitching non-stop, and his eyes were even more slack.
Pei Yao felt scared, could she be dying soon?
As the queen mother approached, all the concubines dispersed. The queen mother stretched out two slender white fingers, landed on the emperor's wrist, and then opened her mouth slightly, "Poisoned."
Pei Yao breathed a sigh of relief, the Queen Mother will detoxify, her blood can cure all kinds of poisons.
However, the Empress Dowager had no plans to save the emperor, and ordered people to move the emperor back to the bedroom, and ordered the imperial physician to speed up.
The imperial physician rushed to the emperor's couch to check his pulse before he could salute. The eldest prince stood in front of the couch and waited anxiously.
His Majesty has only been on the throne for half a year. If he is assassinated and dies, the whole man will fall into the hands of the Queen Mother.
The eldest prince glanced at the normal-looking queen mother, and secretly clenched his fists.
The next moment, the imperial physician panicked, "This, this, Your Majesty has been poisoned."
"Then, detoxify quickly." Madam Li exclaimed in shock.
The imperial doctor was in a dilemma: "I don't know what the poison is, and I don't know how to cure it."
Pei Yao thought for a while, took the initiative to walk up to the Queen Mother, and asked in a low voice: "The Queen Mother."
"The queen is tired?" The queen mother raised her head, smiled, and saw the doubt in the queen's eyes, and said calmly: "The blood of the Ai family is precious."
Pei Yao was shocked, the queen mother could save her, but she refused to save the emperor, is it because she is noble?
Pei Yao didn't ask, someone was already crying in front of the bed, she was a little scared, she stretched out her hand to hold the Queen Mother: "Save him, it will clear your suspicion."
"Suspect? It's not worth wasting blood." The Queen Mother refused again.
The Empress Dowager looked resolute, showing displeasure, got up and left, and Pei Yao followed suit.
"The Empress Dowager."
The queen mother did not stop when she heard Pei Yao's voice, but boarded her chariot and returned to Changle Palace.
Pei Yao was thrown beside the palace road, Qing Zhu chased after her, "Empress Empress, Your Majesty vomited blood."
"Understood." Pei Yao was discouraged, the emperor could die, but the queen mother could not be insulted.
But the queen mother has a temperament that doesn't care about anything, she would rather bear the infamy than save people.
****
It was getting dark, and the imperial physician was still thinking of ways to detoxify, Pei Yao took the green bamboo, and the two went to Changle Palace.
Leaving the front of the Jiaofang Hall, Pei Yao stood in front of the bronze mirror and stared at her own cheek, asking Qingzhu: "Do I look good?"
Qingzhu smiled, "Your Majesty is naturally beautiful." The Empress Empress has a clean and dust-free aura, she stays clean after falling into the mud.
Pei Yao smiled and took the lantern from Ruoxiang's hand, "If anyone comes to see me, tell me I'm resting."
After giving the order, Pei Yao boldly went to Changle Palace, it was just a beauty trick, she didn't believe that she didn't succeed.
Tonight's Changle Palace was a little deserted, just after nightfall, the door was closed, Qingzhu knocked on the door, and the servant saw that it was the queen, and then opened the door.
The queen mother sat under the lamp and embroidered green bamboo.
The author has something to say: Empress: Sigh.
Queen Mother: Difficult.
Empress Dowager: Looking up to the sky and sighing? ? ? ? ? ?
Remember to leave a message, remember to irrigate, the red envelope of Chapter 26 has been sent out.

The Empress Dowager's memory stays at the first time she met Hu Nu. Da Qi's daughter is dignified and elegant, but Hu Nu is just the opposite. They are not to mention charming, good at dancing, and their soft waists are more like willows.
At that time, there were no big men, only big Qi.The scenery of Qi is infinite, and the Hu people settled down, but the two countries cannot intermarry, and in the big Han, the Hu people can marry Han women.
Mrs. Mei entered the palace weeping, her eyes were red from crying, her eyes were full of grievances when she looked at the emperor, and she was about to cry, the pear blossoms were raining, and her amorous feelings and tenderness were rubbed into her bones.
People want to care for them just looking at them.

The Empress Dowager laughed, and called Madam Mei herself, and asked someone to prepare tea, "Where is Madam from?"
"The concubine was born in Luoyang, her mother grew up in Kudan, and her father is Han." Mrs. Mei replied delicately.
As the people approached, the queen mother could clearly see Madam Mei's appearance, her facial features were more like that of a beard girl, and her temperament followed her father's.
"Madam went to pay respects to the empress, did you drive them out?" The empress dowager then asked about the serious matter.

"The empress is tired, so of course I don't want to see you. Madam Mei, please go early and go tomorrow." The empress dowager looked at the emperor, who was sitting on the dragon chair, motionless, somehow reminiscent of a tortoise.
The queen mother suddenly smiled, and turned to look at Madam Mei, "Madam, do you still want to talk to Your Majesty?"
"No, I don't want to, this concubine will leave right away." Madam Mei trembled in fright, she didn't dare to stay for a moment, she bent down and left.
From the beginning to the end, Li Xu didn't even look at Mrs. Mei.
Mrs. Mei, who was out of the Xuanshi Palace, was still patting her chest and panting for breath. She knew the empress dowager was vicious, and she never thought that she would be scared out of her wits when they met for the first time. Such a woman is too scary.
"Is this how the empress dowager treats the concubine?" She tremblingly asked the maid who was serving her.
"The empress dowager is used to this, and the concubines dare not approach her, but the empress likes to be close to the empress dowager."
"The empress is close to the empress dowager?" Mrs. Mei couldn't believe it. The empress has only been in the palace for three months. I heard that she is a child who has not yet passed her 17th birthday. Her majesty has not favored her so far.
Children, no favors... Mrs. Mei laughed, the little queen dared to walk sideways in the palace only because of the queen mother, if she didn't have the queen mother's backing, she might be a street rat.
Today's shame, she must return.

"Then, let's take a detour when we see Mrs. Mei."
Pei Yao leaned on the window and listened, watching the concubines talking leisurely on the road from a distance, and looking at the tops of their heads, there were mostly blue bubbles, obviously they were more concerned about power.
The concubines walked out of the Jiaofang Palace one after another, and Pei Yao turned back to the palace to ask someone to check Mrs. Mei's background. In fact, she only wanted to know why the Empress Dowager rewarded Ye Mingzhu.
Not long after the greetings were over, the imperial physician Meng Qi came to ask the queen for her pulse with a medicine box.
Standing in the crowd, Meng Qi was still the most eye-catching, and the lifeless robes of the Taiyuan Hospital did not subtract from his gentle temperament.
Tall and handsome.
Pei Yao didn't refuse, she asked people to enter the palace, and the first thing she said was: "I haven't served you in bed so far, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
"The empress is worrying too much. I just came to check my pulse. The wishes of the Pei family have nothing to do with me." Meng Qi leaned over to salute, put the medicine box on the table, and asked someone to put a veil on the empress, so he could do it himself. The queen's wrist was separated by a veil.
Pei Yao seemed to be numb, she didn't fluctuate too much after hearing the belated explanation, she quietly waited for Meng Qi's pulse diagnosis.
She suddenly said, "How is Pei Min these days?"
"The second girl is fine, the queen doesn't need to worry." Meng Qi withdrew his hand, glanced at the queen, and then said: "The empress is in good health, no nourishment or conditioning is needed. The empress's health is much better than at home. "
The first time the Empress returned to Pei's house, he was the one who went quietly to check her pulse.The Pei family was afraid that something wrong with the queen would affect the whole family, and the outside doctors did not dare to use it, so they quietly invited him over.
At that time, the queen's health was not as good as that of ordinary people, and her foundation was a bit weak. He prescribed medicine to recuperate, and I don't know if the queen took it.
Just now when he checked his pulse, he learned that the Queen hadn't taken his prescription and should have taken other medicinal soups.
He was curious, so he asked a lot: "Did the empress drink any other medicinal soup after entering the palace?"
"No." Pei Yao looked at Meng Qi suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
"The empress is in good health, I thought the empress was taking the medicinal soup, and she seems to be supporting her in the palace." Meng Qi said apologetically.
Pei Yao lost her doubts and ordered someone to send Meng Qi out of the palace.
Meng Qi is a new imperial physician who has just entered the palace. He has little qualifications and has nothing to do on weekdays. He usually stays in the bookstore of the imperial hospital all day long.
He has worked hard for a long time, but he is still not appreciated, and he will always be the worst in the hospital.
If Pei's family hadn't entrusted him with the relationship, he wouldn't be able to continue to diagnose the Queen's pulse.
After leaving the palace, he went to Pei's house and told the old lady about the Queen's recent situation.
Mrs. Pei was very satisfied, and asked carefully, "Is the Queen's body suitable for having a child?"
Meng Qi blushed, remembering the queen's words, "I have no servants in my palace so far", for some reason, he chose to hide it and nodded.
Mrs. Pei was even more satisfied, and said: "You went to check the pulse of Lord Hou, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard." Meng Qi numbly agreed, and followed the maid like a puppet to see Hou Zhongyi.
Hou Zhongyi has been in poor health since he was a child, and it was a disease brought out from his mother's womb. The Pei family spent a lot of effort to raise him. It is precisely because he grew up in the palm of his hand that he has a personality that is all about me.
Meng Qi didn't like Pei Ze because he was the one who sent Pei Yao into the palace.
Knowing what kind of temperament the emperor is, he even sent his own sister in.Meng Qi thought about a poisonous medicine.Dead Pei Ze, but every time he writes the prescription, he pauses.
Pei Yao is so kind, if she has evil thoughts in her heart, she must not be worthy of her.
Meng Qi wants to kill for Pei Yao, but also for Pei Yao's sake.
****
At Chen's hour, the sun rose, and the bright light made people feel the breath of spring.
Pei Yao sat on the couch and looked at the thick account book on the table, feeling a little dazed, she left for a few days, why did she spend so much money?
She felt that it was a bit outrageous, but she ignored it immediately, and asked someone to send the account books to Changle Hall, and continued to be the hands-off shopkeeper.
Before lunch, the servant in front of the emperor invited her to a banquet, and today she will clean up the dust for the Empress Dowager.
Pei Yao resigned herself to changing into a phoenix robe and a heavy phoenix crown, and was supported by Qingzhu to board the chariot.
When they arrived outside Chengde Tower, the chariot stopped, Ruoxi stood at the gate of the palace talking to people, Pei Yao saw the bubble on Ruoxi's head change color...
It is cyan.
Cyan is greedy for money!
The chariot stopped at this moment, Qingzhu helped the queen get out of the car, Ruoxi also noticed the movement at the door, and hurriedly left the speaker and walked towards the queen.
Pei Yao clasped Qingzhu's hand, leaned over and whispered in her ear while getting off the car: "Check whoever talked to Ruoxi."
Qingzhu looked up, then quickly lowered her head, and responded softly.
Ruoxi came over, "Empress Empress."
"The queen is coming?" Pei Yao stepped off the car seat, and talked to Ruoxi with her eyes bent.
"The empress dowager is here, so I will send the empress dowager." Ruoxi stepped forward to support the empress.
After the person approached, Pei Yao narrowed her eyes and looked at the celebrity in front of the empress dowager, with the corners of her lips curled up, she pretended to be nonchalant and asked about what happened just now, "Who did you talk to just now?"
"This servant just talked to a fellow countryman." Ruoxi paused slightly.
Pei Yao obviously felt that the hands holding her wrists were frozen, she stopped asking, and walked slowly into the palace with Ruoxi's hand on her hands.
Today is a family banquet, there are no foreign ministers, they are all the emperor's women and children.
There are nearly a hundred people in the hall, sitting in separate cases, the emperor is respected, the queen mother sits on the right, and the queen's seat is on the left.
Between the queen and the queen mother, there is the emperor.
Pei Yao was not very satisfied, but there are court rules and she cannot break them because of herself.
After the empress arrived, everyone was present. The emperor first respected the empress dowager, spoke modestly, and acted like a son.
Pei Yao thought about it, the Queen Mother seems to be seven or eight years younger than Her Majesty.
The Empress Dowager's expression remained the same as before, without too much emotional ups and downs. The leader was Mrs. Li, followed by the newly promoted Mrs. Mei. Pei Yao looked around and her eyes fell on the eldest prince.
The first prince's appearance followed his mother, Mrs. Li, with delicate features and an upright appearance.
Then followed by the eldest prince's brothers, there were too many people, Pei Yao couldn't name them, so she simply didn't look, and continued to huddle in her seat.
After the emperor toasted, Qingzhu poked the queen's shoulder with his hand, indicating that it was time for her to toast.
Pei Yao was startled, she and the Queen Mother were so familiar, she probably didn't need such vulgar etiquette to get closer.
However, Qingzhu continued to poke her, there was no other way, she held the wine cup and walked in front of the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager was wearing a black dress as always, with a gloomy majesty that made people dare not look up. Those women in the palace who were rampant outside became more well-behaved than their grandsons in front of the Empress Dowager.
Pei Yao thinks she is one of them.
"The concubine respects the Empress Dowager." Pei Yao handed the wine cup to the Empress Dowager's eyes, and blinked at the Empress Dowager herself.
The queen mother was indifferent, "The queen's eyes hurt?"
Pei Yao was discouraged, and the queen mother was puzzled, no wonder she had been sober for so long.
"The concubine's eyes are in the eyes of a fool."
"Your queen has worked hard." The queen mother said coldly, took the wine from Pei Yao, and drank it without thinking.
Pei Yao returned to her seat lonely.
The eldest prince also went to toast, and then a few little princes, especially those who couldn't walk steadily, walked unsteadily in front of the queen mother, and opened their mouths: "Grandson pays respects to grandmother..."
Pei Yao first laughed for a while, and then laughed helplessly, the word "grandmother" made people feel something was wrong.
The queen mother was called grandma when she was only 24 years old. She couldn't help but glanced at the queen mother. The other party faced the group of grandchildren calmly and gave them gifts.
Grandma is so loving!
After drinking for three rounds, as usual, actors came to perform dances, the emperor regained his spirits, and the concubines lost their spirits. When they watched the queen mother again, they couldn't get up.
Only Pei Yao was eating by herself, and she glanced at the queen mother from time to time to show her concern. After the actor came up, Pei Yao glanced at it, good guy, blue, blue and yellow.
Your Majesty doesn't need to look everywhere, just know it's yellow.
The concubines are relatively single in color, blue or pink.
Mrs. Mei came over at this moment, holding a jug in her hand. The palace dress was exquisite, with a very low neckline and a thinner waist. The different facial features were refreshing, exotic, with her own unique charm.
As soon as she approached, the emperor immediately rolled his eyes, and the others laughed, disliked, envied, and had different expressions.
Madam Mei approached and gave the Queen a provocative look.Pei Yao bit the grape, feeling a little sour, she couldn't help frowning.
The next moment, Madam Mei slipped and fell down immediately. The emperor stretched out his hand and watched Madam Mei fall to the ground.
Pei Yao's eyes were sharp, she saw grapes at Madam Mei's feet, and looked at the Queen Mother, she was playing with grapes in her hands.
Pei Yao almost forgot that the Queen Mother knows kung fu.
Mrs. Mei fell under the emperor's feet, and the emperor immediately got up to support her, but just as soon as she left her seat, she sat down again.He glanced at the queen mother, not daring to be presumptuous.
Mrs. Mei stretched out her hand in front of His Majesty tremblingly, and began to cry tenderly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and my concubine fell so badly."
After Pei Yao heard this, the tip of her tongue twirled in her mouth, and she really couldn't learn the delicate tone.She cautiously went to see the queen mother, who was calm and relaxed.
It seems that the Queen Mother does not like this tone of speaking.
The emperor didn't go to help Madam Mei, but Ruoxi helped Madam Mei back to her seat, and Madam Li immediately said, "Madam Mei's clothes today are not suitable, and they have caught your feet. Although the clothes are gorgeous, there are some I'm going to wear it."
Mrs. Mei was aggrieved because of a big scandal, and immediately replied after hearing the words: "Mrs. Li is very right, my clothes are just beautiful, I don't want your mother's, it's only suitable for you, I will feel a little old-fashioned in wearing them .”
Pei Yao's eyelids twitched when she heard this, Madam Mei came from such boldness, Madam Li is the mother of the eldest prince after all, yet she is so new to her.
Mrs. Li's face turned pale with anger, but the First Prince walked over and toasted her, "Mother has worked hard, my son toasts you."
It doesn't matter how old you are, it's good to have a son by your side.
Mrs. Mei was so angry that she clenched her veil tightly when she saw the mother's kindness and son's filial piety.
Pei Yao saw another layer of tricks, the eldest prince remained calm, and with one movement he resolved his mother's embarrassment, and he was able to make him vomit blood silently.
The atmosphere in the palace returned to normal, and the emperor still stared at the actor, not caring about the struggle between the concubines at all.
Hu Nu came up next, and Hu Qu was melodious and cheerful. As soon as the music started, the emperor became even more excited.
Hu Nu didn't wear shoes and socks, and her feet were bare. Every time she took a step, the silver bells on her feet would ring along with the music.
Pei Yao looked at the masked Hu Nu, half-covered, her eyes were bright and charming, the next moment, Hu Nu approached, the shawl on her shoulder fell to the ground, the emperor smiled and hugged her and sat on his dragon chair superior.
The next moment, Hu Nufu stood up again, put her hand on the bun, and quickly pulled out the hairpin. In an instant, the hairpin was inserted into the emperor's chest.
The emperor yelled, Pei Yao stood down from the seat in fright, her heart beating violently, while the queen mother watched indifferently as Hu Nu pulled out the hairpin, and the next moment, Hu Nu was stopped by the servants.
"Escort..."
"Escort..."
"Please doctor, hurry up, please doctor."
"Your Majesty is injured."
Chaos immediately broke out in the hall, the imperial concubine rushed to the emperor and shouted, Your Majesty, Pei Yao stayed away from the bustle and quietly took a few steps back, the queen mother also stood up at this moment, walked to the Hu Nu, "Send it to the Ministry of punishment , let people take a look."
Hu Nu suddenly sneered, "Queen Mother, I am helping you. After the dog emperor dies, you will be able to take power and become the empress."
The queen mother looked at the woman in front of her, and smiled faintly, "The Ai family has no interest in the empress, and the Ai family suddenly changed their minds. Since you want to discredit the Ai family, how can you bypass it. Tell the Ministry of Punishment that you can live."
The penalty of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is the most exciting.
Hu Nu was dragged out by the servants, and the Empress Dowager stared at the entrance of the palace, her lips curled up, which was much more interesting.
She turned to look at the queen, the queen looked at the emperor on tiptoe, she wanted to go but was afraid of causing trouble, it was more interesting than an assassin.
"Did the imperial doctor invite you?" the queen mother asked.
"Someone went to invite them."
The emperor's face was ashen, the corners of his lips turned white, his whole body was twitching non-stop, and his eyes were even more slack.
Pei Yao felt scared, could she be dying soon?
As the queen mother approached, all the concubines dispersed. The queen mother stretched out two slender white fingers, landed on the emperor's wrist, and then opened her mouth slightly, "Poisoned."
Pei Yao breathed a sigh of relief, the Queen Mother will detoxify, her blood can cure all kinds of poisons.
However, the Empress Dowager had no plans to save the emperor, and ordered people to move the emperor back to the bedroom, and ordered the imperial physician to speed up.
The imperial physician rushed to the emperor's couch to check his pulse before he could salute. The eldest prince stood in front of the couch and waited anxiously.
His Majesty has only been on the throne for half a year. If he is assassinated and dies, the whole man will fall into the hands of the Queen Mother.
The eldest prince glanced at the normal-looking queen mother, and secretly clenched his fists.
The next moment, the imperial physician panicked, "This, this, Your Majesty has been poisoned."
"Then, detoxify quickly." Madam Li exclaimed in shock.
The imperial doctor was in a dilemma: "I don't know what the poison is, and I don't know how to cure it."
Pei Yao thought for a while, took the initiative to walk up to the Queen Mother, and asked in a low voice: "The Queen Mother."
"The queen is tired?" The queen mother raised her head, smiled, and saw the doubt in the queen's eyes, and said calmly: "The blood of the Ai family is precious."
Pei Yao was shocked, the queen mother could save her, but she refused to save the emperor, is it because she is noble?
Pei Yao didn't ask, someone was already crying in front of the bed, she was a little scared, she stretched out her hand to hold the Queen Mother: "Save him, it will clear your suspicion."
"Suspect? It's not worth wasting blood." The Queen Mother refused again.
The Empress Dowager looked resolute, showing displeasure, got up and left, and Pei Yao followed suit.
"The Empress Dowager."
The queen mother did not stop when she heard Pei Yao's voice, but boarded her chariot and returned to Changle Palace.
Pei Yao was thrown beside the palace road, Qing Zhu chased after her, "Empress Empress, Your Majesty vomited blood."
"Understood." Pei Yao was discouraged, the emperor could die, but the queen mother could not be insulted.
But the queen mother has a temperament that doesn't care about anything, she would rather bear the infamy than save people.
****
It was getting dark, and the imperial physician was still thinking of ways to detoxify, Pei Yao took the green bamboo, and the two went to Changle Palace.
Leaving the front of the Jiaofang Hall, Pei Yao stood in front of the bronze mirror and stared at her own cheek, asking Qingzhu: "Do I look good?"
Qingzhu smiled, "Your Majesty is naturally beautiful." The Empress Empress has a clean and dust-free aura, she stays clean after falling into the mud.
Pei Yao smiled and took the lantern from Ruoxiang's hand, "If anyone comes to see me, tell me I'm resting."
After giving the order, Pei Yao boldly went to Changle Palace, it was just a beauty trick, she didn't believe that she didn't succeed.
Tonight's Changle Palace was a little deserted, just after nightfall, the door was closed, Qingzhu knocked on the door, and the servant saw that it was the queen, and then opened the door.
The queen mother sat under the lamp and embroidered green bamboo.
The author has something to say: Empress: Sigh.
Queen Mother: Difficult.
Empress Dowager: Looking up to the sky and sighing? ? ? ? ? ?
Remember to leave a message, remember to irrigate, the red envelope of Chapter 26 has been sent out.
