Empress dowager, the queen sighed

The cold wind blew, making her cheeks ache, and Pei Yao's cuff brushed against the Queen Mother's ears, making her more gentle.

After a long time, Pei Yao straightened up, the petals were no longer in her mouth, and she sat calmly beside the Queen Mother.

Instead, the Queen Mother slowly chewed the petals in her mouth, and finally, swallowed them.

"The queen's mouth will kill herself sooner or later."

"Queen, you will protect me, won't you?" Pei Yao looked at the bright red lips of the queen, slowly squirming, she raised her hand, pressed the line of the queen's lips with her thumb, and stared at her closely, "Queen, I have a marriage contract with Meng Qi."

The Queen Mother frowned, "Meng Qi?"

Pei Yao continued: "The marriage letter in black and white, he said he would marry me when I was free."

"It's almost done, I'm dreaming and taking medicine." The queen mother handed the red plum in her hand to the queen, and slowly turned to the outside of the car, staring down at the maid.

"The marriage letter is in his medicine box." Pei Yao said to herself, then picked a piece of plum blossom and put it in her mouth, this time she didn't kiss the queen mother, she chewed and swallowed it.

Plum blossom is also good, very delicious.

Pei Yao lowered her head, the wind blew off the petals in her hand, and landed on the Queen Mother's skirt, entangled a bit beautifully.

"The queen wants Aijia to get back the marriage certificate, so she said bluntly, Aijia is not a fool." The queen mother sighed softly, and took back the plum blossoms from the queen's hand, "The queen ruined Aijia's plum blossoms."

Pei Yao smiled, "If you take it back, I will be yours."

"The Queen used a beauty trick. Could it be that you still think that you belong to someone else?" The Queen Mother sneered, throwing the remaining plum blossoms out of the chariot, not just a marriage letter, worthy of the Queen's plum blossom kisses and hugs. .

*****

The news of General Pei Sui's resurrection spread all over Luoyang City immediately, Pei's mansion was full of people, and even the prime minister came to the door in person.

Pei Ze also came out to meet the guests, dressed in fancy clothes, elegant and handsome, much better than his sickly appearance before, Pei Min was also picked up, and he was called a vulgar person to the outside world.

It has only been a month or two since she became a monk, and everyone around her knew it well, but Mrs. Li was so angry that her heart hurt, she dropped her cup and scolded a bitch a few times.

"Don't be ashamed, even a mere adopted daughter dares to insult my son, the Pei family is too bullying."

Mrs. Li scolded for a long time before she stopped, and she calmed down after drinking two cups of herbal tea. At this time, Gong'e walked over skillfully and said, "My servant heard the dispute between the empress and the general on the palace road yesterday."

"What are you arguing about?" Mrs. Li was out of breath, leaning against the pillow.

Gong'e said: "The empress said that Marquis Zhongyi likes her younger sister and wants to marry the adopted daughter of the Pei family?"

"Pei Ze likes Pei Min?" Mrs. Li sat up from the couch, her heart throbbing, "Are you sure it's true?"

"The empress said it herself, and the general doesn't seem to deny it."

"No wonder, no wonder the Pei family found their daughter who had been lost for many years, and no wonder Pei Ze dared to reject Ben Gong. It turned out that he had such dirty intentions. He wanted to run away after slapping Ben Gong? Go, get this Let’s talk about it, the Ai family wants to discredit the Pei family.”

The queen is really ignorant, she dared to speak out about such a big matter, for fear that she would not be able to catch the Pei family.

****

Pei Yao slept in the palace for a day and got up early to pay her respects to the Queen Mother. On the way, she met a group of Yingying and Yanyan, and they all looked inscrutable when they saw her.

When she got down from the chariot at Changle Hall, Mrs. Mei walked over, and said in a strange way: "The empress is still thinking of paying her respects to the queen mother. If I were your concubine, I would hide in the palace and see no one."

Pei Yao's eyelids trembled. She once went to beg for alms, and another woman taunted her: "Little teacher is too good-looking, if I were you, I would return to vulgar marriage and be a concubine for a rich family without worrying about food and drink." .”

They all have the same face.At that time, thinking about a bite of food, she swallowed her anger and dared not reply.

It's different now, she held Qingzhu's hand, walked up to Mrs. Mei, said nothing, raised her hand and slapped her across the face, "I have a bad temper, and I don't want to listen to yin and yang words. If Mrs. Mei has such a strong mouth, don't use it." I'm going to see the queen mother, kneel here and come back to the palace."

"Do you dare, Empress Empress is angry from embarrassment. Is this trying to silence my concubine? The family is unlucky, and this concubine is just pitying you." Mrs. Mei stomped her feet, covered her cheeks, and glared fiercely at the queen.

Pei Yao took the handkerchief from Qingzhu, wiped her hands, and said slowly: "Madam Mei is so free, if you want to have nothing to do, why not go to the violence room for half a month, and go now."

"Empress, Your Majesty wants to see his concubines every day." Madam Mei raised her chin proudly, not paying attention to the Queen at all.

"Really?" Pei Yao smiled slightly, I have the support of the Empress Dowager, but she would not say it outright, she just said: "Qing Zhu, send Mrs. Mei to the violent room, just follow my orders."

The rest of the concubines looked at each other in blank dismay, the empress had always been stubborn, now that the general came back, they had the support of the empress dowager, but now they were even more powerful, they didn't even dare to intercede.

Qing Zhu was clever, and instead of calling for the maid of Jiaofang Hall, she called for the maid of Changle Hall.

The servants of the Changle Palace obeyed the queen's orders, and as soon as Qing Zhu gave her orders, they immediately stepped forward, grabbed Mrs. Mei and dragged her out.

"Empress Empress, Your Majesty wants to see me, Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager..."

Pei Yao glanced at the concubine who was afraid to speak, "What do you want to say?"

Silent.

Pei Yao walked towards Changle Palace, the concubines looked at each other, even Shen Zhaohua looked cautious, the queen was not liked by His Majesty, but the Queen Mother favored him, this was more favored than His Majesty's favor.

The queen went straight into the Changle Palace, and the concubines could only wait outside against the cold wind.

Not long after the Empress Dowager got up from the bed, she was dressing up. After Pei Yao entered, she turned away the palace maids who were dressing up and picked up the comb by herself.No, the Queen Mother refused, "The Queen will wait outside."

"I serve the Queen Mother." Pei Yao smiled.

"The queen is causing trouble again?" The queen mother could see through the queen's guilty look and domineering temperament at a glance, and she didn't know how to restrain herself.

It doesn't matter though.

Pei Yao insisted, "The concubine serves the queen mother."

"No need, the Ai family has hands and can dress up by themselves, but the queen, why not think about how to stop the world's mouth." The queen mother stared at the queen in the bronze mirror, her eyes darkened.

"No, the affairs of the Pei family have nothing to do with me. I don't like others to talk so much in front of me. It's useless to reason. It's better to have some practical things. I can do it, and I won't move my mouth. You say Really?" Pei Yao bent down, and red bubbles appeared above her head in the bronze mirror.

But the Queen Mother still hasn't changed color.

The Queen Mother is definitely an elm lump, an elm lump with no desires or desires.

The Empress Dowager did her own makeup without applying rouge, and only wore simple hairpins on her temples. She glanced at the gold-plated gold hairpin with double phoenixes on the empress's head, and took a phoenix hairpin made of oriental beads at random, and inserted it.Into the clouds.

She stood up, "Aijia also likes to move his hands without moving his mouth."

Pei Yao smiled, and blocked her way, "Now, the concubine only wants to move her mouth, but not her hands, is that okay?"

"No, when the queen comes over in the evening, Aijia will do his hands and not move his mouth." The queen mother brushed the queen away and walked straight to the outside of the hall.Gong'e was waiting outside to serve her. Seeing the Empress Dowager came out, she hurriedly went up to greet her, "Empress Dowager, do you want breakfast?"

"Use as you like, queen, do you want to eat?" the queen mother asked the queen.

Pei Yao nodded: "Same as the Queen Mother, use it as you like."

"Forget it, Ai's family is afraid that there will not be enough food, so I will send it according to the old rules." The queen mother suddenly changed her words, everyone else ate one bite at a time, and the queen ate one plate at a time.

Gong'e entered in a file and put all the breakfast on the food table. The queen likes to eat shrimp dumplings, Ruoyun prepared a plate and put it in front of her.

Pei Yao thanked Ruoyun, but Ruoyun hurriedly shirked it: "It's a servant's job."

"It's not part of your job. It's your part to serve the Queen Mother. I should be grateful to you."

Ruoyun smiled and retreated.

Pei Yao was not hungry, she only ate a plate of shrimp dumplings and shredded chicken noodles, and put down her chopsticks.

The queen mother was surprised, "The queen is thinking about losing weight?" She didn't see the queen for a few days, she seemed to be a lot thinner, she immediately changed her words: "The queen is 17 years old and is growing up."

"I didn't lose weight. I don't know why, but I lost some weight recently." Pei Yao wiped her mouth with a wet handkerchief, also with a dazed expression.

The Queen Mother also put down the chopsticks, "Hands."

Pei Yao handed her hand to the Queen Mother.

The queen mother touched the queen's wrist, and simply took the pulse, "Ai Jia remembers that doctor Meng went to the Jiaofang Palace, could it be that he didn't take the queen's pulse?"

"You can't see him as you said, how dare I ask him to take a pulse. You have to touch your hands to get a pulse." Pei Yao tactfully said, and also concealed it for herself.

The queen mother withdrew her hand, Pei Yao seized the opportunity to grab her fingertips and said nonsense, "Is the queen mother jealous?"

"Aijia eats sweets, not jealous."

Pei Yao resentfully said, "I will be jealous, and please keep the queen mother away from the woman next to her."

The Queen Mother took out the candy box from the sachet, put it on the food table, pushed it lightly with her fingertips, and the box lid opened, revealing the orange candy inside.

She picked one and put it in her mouth, "Why are you jealous when you have candy? It's so hard to think about it. Aijia is a sensible person, and the queen is also a sensible person."

"When did the queen mother carry candies with her?" Pei Yao was surprised, and they were hard candies, so isn't she afraid of toothache?

The queen mother picked up a piece of candy and quickly stuffed it into the queen's mouth, "This is Aijia's apology."

"Apologize?" Pei Yao didn't understand, the sweetness in her mouth burst out, so sweet that people squinted their eyes.

With sugar in her mouth, the queen mother spoke softly. She had not followed the rule of not eating or sleeping for many years, and said indifferently: "The queen didn't see Ai's family for [-] days, isn't she angry?"

"This..." Pei Yao paused suddenly, will the Queen Mother also apologize?

The queen mother ignored everything, had no feelings at all, and the elm lump was enlightened.Pei Yao smiled, "You're angry."

"When you get angry, you will lose weight. The queen's physical condition is really good. If you get fat, you will lose weight when you get angry. It's great. The Ai family will be envious." The queen mother had sugar in her mouth, and the words in her mouth felt sweeter.

Still icy, but sweet.

Pei Yao squinted her eyes, very happy, "The queen mother's candy is delicious."

"Eat it, I won't be able to eat it in the future." The queen mother said regretfully, the national teacher lost her left hand, and it might be inconvenient to make candy with one hand, thinking about it, she took another one, it was very sweet.

Pei Yao didn't think much, and ate another piece.

After a while, the palace concubine, who was shivering from the wind, came in to greet the queen mother.The hall was warm, one cold and one hot, and everyone trembled.

The Empress Dowager doesn't like people talking too much. After the concubine came in, she didn't dare to speak. After she sat down in her seat, she just bowed her head and said nothing.

Pei Yao sat on the queen mother's side with a relaxed expression, completely opposite to the crowd, after the greetings, the queen mother let the crowd disperse without asking why Madam Mei didn't come.

Everyone knew that the queen mother didn't ask, but she knew the inside story and pretended nothing happened.

My heart went out of the palace.

After they dispersed, they each went back to the palace. The queen mother called to stop the queen, "The general returned to the mansion, why is there no movement at the queen's place?"

The queen doesn't seem to understand the sophistication of the world.

Pei Yao really didn't understand, "What do you mean?"

"It's the first time for the general to come back, and what should be rewarded is still rewarded." The queen mother reminded.

Pei Yao directly refused: "The concubine is shabby, if you can't do it, you can get rid of it."

After all, the queen mother raised her head, seeing the queen's stinginess again, she didn't speak, but sat quietly for a while, and told Ruoyun: "Take the emperor to the storeroom to pick some gifts and send them to the general's mansion."

Pei Yao flicked the ruby ​​ring on her finger, not a bit happy, "I don't want to reward."

"Just blink your eyes, nothing happened. Empress, you are so patient with the Ai family, why not with the Pei family?" the queen mother asked.

Pei Yao's eyes were dim, she turned around and left as if unwilling to speak.

The queen mother sneered, "Queen, you have become more courageous."

Pei Yao stopped and turned to look at her: "My body belongs to the Queen Mother, but my mind belongs to me."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

"Look, you have a bit of backbone, you don't hug your thighs, you just stare at Aijia." The queen mother frowned, thought for a while, got up by herself, and took Ruoyun to the warehouse.

Pei Sui is a soldier, different from weak literati, in their eyes, no matter how luxurious and exquisite decorations will be in the way, it is meaningless.

There are several swords in the treasury, the palace servants come in to clean them every day, the queen mother found it by feeling, she stared at the one in the deepest part, it was the sword of the last emperor.

The Last Emperor didn't like to wield knives and swords, but he still asked the master to forge a matching sword.

The Empress Dowager walked over, touched it sympathetically, the corners of her lips curled up, "This is it."

Ruoyun frowned: "This is your favorite, why send it to the general."

"It's all unknown about this sword. I want to see whether it is auspicious or unknown in Pei Sui's hands." The queen mother said generously. The last emperor worked so hard, but he was still called the king of subjugation. Even her sword is unknown. , What a joke.

Ruoyun stepped forward holding the sword, and the queen mother ordered: "Just say it was given by the queen, leave Changle Palace aside, and send an ugly servant to pass the message."

****

After Pei Yao returned to the Jiaofang Palace, she began to regret that she shouldn't have flung her face at the Queen Mother. Without her thighs, she couldn't walk sideways in the palace.

If she knew a mistake, she corrected it immediately.

"Ruoxiang, go to the kitchen."

The queen went to the kitchen, and the servants of the Changle Palace left the palace gate, and took a car to the Zhongyi Hou's mansion.

After Pei Sui came back, he hadn't obtained an official rank yet, and the original position of general was replaced by someone. The other party had no faults, so it's not easy for someone to abdicate directly. Therefore, Pei Sui has been waiting for news in the mansion these days.

After the servant entered, he held the sword to Pei Sui with a smile, "This is a gift from the empress to the general. May the general be invincible and make more achievements for the great man."

Zhao's eyelids twitched, and Pei Sui saw that it was a good sword at a glance, so he raised his hand to take it, the sword opened up, and a cold light suddenly appeared.

"It's a good sword." Pei Sui smiled, "Thank you, Empress, for me."

The servant didn't dare to stay any longer, and retreated with a smile.

Pei Sui loves the sword and keeps playing with it in his hand. Mrs. Zhao is anxious, "General, what should we do about Ze'er? According to my plan, remove Min'er's name from Pei's family and let my elder brother take her as his daughter. When the time comes If the Pei and Zhao families get married again, my elder brother will not refuse."

"If you let Pei Ze marry Pei Min, he will never be able to enter an official career in his life. I will follow you. You can handle it yourself. The queen's affairs are handled by you, and the queen's disapproval of the Pei family is also caused by you. Yes." Pei Sui had a neutral attitude, not intervening much, neither approving nor refusing.

The power fell into Zhao's hands, but she found herself in a difficult situation. Her son's official career was the most important thing, and her marriage had to be retreated.

"If Pei Ze doesn't marry, we can marry Pei Min as soon as possible, and it will calm the Queen's anger." Pei Sui retracted his sword and looked at his wife, "You and your mother think that Pei Min is suitable for Pei's daughter-in-law, that's because You haven't seen women from other mansions, you should think about what kind of kind girl the girl who seduces your adoptive brother is. At the beginning, she should be sent to the palace. You abandoned the prostitute daughter to save the adoptive daughter, the Pei family has long since grown up It’s a joke, this time it’s just magnifying the scandal.”

Zhao's face turned pale, and his hands in his cuffs were shaking, "But, Aze's health is not good. Min'er has been by his side all these years. If you send Min'er into the palace, it will kill him."

"It's nothing serious, but it's just a few days of sadness. Don't you feel sad that your daughter who was pregnant for ten months has become your enemy? I won't interfere with what to do. In a few days, I will go to Jingzhou and take Pei Ze is going to practice." Pei Sui was calm and calm, he didn't say harsh words, and reasoned from the beginning to the end.

But Mrs. Zhao couldn't listen anymore, "Ah Ze is not in good health, you will kill him."

"That's not the case. I bought the Marquis of Loyalty and Yi with my life. He enjoyed it as a matter of course, and now he should pay for it." Pei Sui said.

Mrs. Zhao panicked, and took her husband's hand, "You have to ask mother what she means."

"No, my own son decides for himself." Pei Sui pushed Zhao Shi away, and walked out of the hall with a ruthless face.

Beautiful and warm winter day.

The sunset was also very beautiful, the rosy light shrouded the clouds in the west, it was so beautiful that the Empress Dowager sat in the courtyard and described the beautiful scenery stroke by stroke.

With the brush in hand, I couldn't paint the beautiful scenery I wanted in my heart. I drew one after another, but in the end they didn't succeed.

Pei Yao carried a food box and appeared without warning. The Queen Mother stopped painting, looked at Pei Yao, and thought of a happy event, "Queen, come here."

Pei Yao approached step by step.

The queen mother looked at today's queen, wearing low-necked clothes, she could see the collarbone, she was happy, "Ruoyun, move an embroidered stool for the queen."

If Ruoyun went to do it, Pei Yao was helpless, what to do with the stool.

Gong'e took the food box from the Queen's hand, helped her to sit down, and then they all backed out.

"Empress, are you cold?" The Empress Dowager's gaze was still fixed on the Empress's neckline, "The young man's body is really good, he dares to wear such revealing clothes in winter, what a dare to wear them."

The queen mother approached the queen, and picked her neckline with her slender white hands, "Does the queen like plum blossoms?"

"I don't like it, my concubine likes green bamboo." Pei Yao fell in love with her, her eyes narrowed with a smile.

The queen mother was surprised, and quickly calmed down. The paintbrush in her hand was dipped in red paint. She denied the queen's words: "You don't like green bamboo, and red plums are more suitable in winter."

As soon as he finished speaking, his fingertips lifted the neckline, revealing his fair skin.

Pei Yao was startled and trembling, "It's broad daylight, I'm afraid it's not very good."

"The queen is so lustful at such a young age, I'm afraid it's not good. The sky is still bright, and the queen's heart is broken." The queen mother chuckled, and the tip of the brush fell on the collarbone, and the red was dyed on the fair skin, the red was burning, It's like blood.

Painting with people is much more delicate than scroll painting.

Pei Yao didn't dare to move anymore, she froze her body, from her angle, she could see the Queen Mother's face, every frown and smile was in her eyes.

"Queen Mother, isn't your painting skill not good?" Pei Yao was afraid of ticklish, and when the pen touched her skin, she trembled. She wanted to reject the Queen Mother, but the dignified and graceful woman in front of her was the best painting .

The queen mother concentrated on painting, with red petals and yellow stamens, a small plum blossom was lifelike.

The queen mother stood up, staring at the petals at the collarbone, couldn't help smiling, "Aijia is very satisfied."

Pei Yao blinked.

The sunset gradually went down, the sky was dark, the evening wind blew past, and the exposed skin turned red, Pei Yao trembled, "Queen Mother, it's very cold."

"The queen is afraid of the cold when she is dressed like this." The queen mother put down the brush, "Hongmei is a bit lonely, why don't the queen draw a small figure for herself, just like a picture book, small and delicate, and the movements can be more beautiful."

There was no one in the courtyard, the cold wind was blowing, and the mouth was still steaming when he spoke.

Pei Yao lowered her head and could only see a little trace, she couldn't tell whether it was good-looking or not, but she spotted the empress dowager's neckline.

The Empress Dowager was wearing a jacket with a high collar, only her chin was visible, and the rest of the view was hidden. Pei Yao smiled, "Why don't I paint for the Empress Dowager?"

"You?" The queen mother looked thoughtfully, glanced at the queen's collarbone, and shook her head silently, so that she would not give the little queen a chance to take advantage.

"Come with Ai's family, and bring all the paintbrushes." The queen mother turned and walked towards the bedroom.

As the mastermind of the beauty trick, Pei Yao picked up the paintbrush and paint without any complaints, and followed the Queen Mother into the palace step by step.

****

There is a bronze mirror in the hall, which allows Pei Yao to see the 'red plum' on her collarbone clearly.

The traces of the painting had already dried, Pei Yao watched intently.There was no light in the hall, and the queen mother sat in the darkness on one side, leisurely and lazily flipping through the picture album, searching and searching, and found a suitable movement for Pei Yao.

She tore off the pages of the book and handed it to Pei Yao, "Does the queen want to try?"

Pei Yao blinked her eyes, took it, and confirmed that it was drawn by her. However, drawing on the book and drawing on herself, the direction of the brush is different, and it is not smooth.

Pei Yao didn't move for a while, she looked down at the page, there were two people on it, one up and one down, which one to draw?

"Which one should I draw?"

The Empress Dowager looked up at the roof beams, "The Empress can draw whatever she thinks is suitable for her, and find her position."

Pei Yao said, "Up and down, I want to draw the top one."

The queen mother smiled, and then straightened up, looking at the contented little queen, "Queen, you are suitable for the villain below."

Pei Yao shook her head, "The sleeping servant should be the villain above."

The Queen Mother frowned, "Queen, your beauty trick has failed again."

The author has something to say: Empress: I bear the burden of humiliation!
